Litchfield Financial Corporation ("First Litchfield") and Union Savings Bank
("USB") announced the signing of a definitive agreement for the merger of First
Litchfield and The First National Bank of Litchfield (the "Bank") with and into

Litchfield shareholder will receive $15.00 per share in cash, giving the
transaction a value of approximately $35 million. The definitive agreement has
been unanimously approved by the Boards of First Litchfield, the Bank and USB.

         Under the terms of the merger agreement, First Litchfield is prohibited
