ITEM 5. Other Events and Regulation FD Disclosure
On October 7, 2002, the registrant, Sutter Holding Company, Inc., entered into a
Stock Purchase and Sale Agreement with Third Half Millenium Company, Inc., an
Illinois corporation. The agreement provides for the sale by the registrant to
Third Half Millenium of all of the capital stock of SSI Securities, an inactive
wholly owned subsidiary of the registrant. SSI's liabilities greatly exceed its
assets and the transaction involved nominal consideration to the registrant. The
registrant retained a contingent right to certain net cash proceeds in the event
SSI Securities should collect certain payables. Third Half Millenium is not an
affiliate of the registrant, or any of the registrant's executive officers,
directors or principal shareholders.
