ITEM 5. OTHER EVENTS AND REQUIRED FD DISCLOSURE
---------------------------------------
On December 12, 2003, HCB Bancshares, Inc. (the "Company") announced that
it had received an indication of interest letter from an investor group to
engage in a business combination with the Company whereby the Company's
stockholders would receive $18.63 per share in cash. The proposed business
combination would be subject to, among other things, the negotiation of a
definitive merger agreement, regulatory approval and the approval of the
Company's stockholders. The investor group has expressed its intention to make a
cash deposit at the time that the definitive merger agreement is executed which
would be forfeited under certain circumstances including the failure of the
investor group to obtain regulatory approval for the transaction. The Company
and the investor group intend to negotiate a definitive merger agreement during
the next thirty days and during the 30-day period the Company has agreed to
cease all discussions with other parties regarding a business combination,
subject to the satisfaction of the fiduciary duties of the Company's Board of
Directors. There can be no assurance that the parties will agree to the terms of
a definitive agreement. For more information, see the Company's press release,
which is attached as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated by reference herein.
