Wellesley Bank will merge with and into Cambridge Trust Company, with Cambridge Trust Company as the surviving entity.

Cambridge shareholders will continue to hold their existing shares. Following the merger, Cambridge common stock will continue to trade on NASDAQ under the symbol “CATC”.

Approval of the merger cannot be completed unless the holders of at least two-thirds of the outstanding shares of Cambridge common stock entitled to vote at the Special Meeting vote to approve the merger agreement, including the issuance of Cambridge common stock in connection with the merger. Your vote is extremely important and is critical to conducting the formal business of the meeting.
