INFORMATION ABOUT THE PROPOSED WACHOVIA/AMNET MERGER
Welcome. For your convenience, we are posting copies of those documents that we have filed, and will be filing, with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) about AmNet’s proposed merger with Wachovia.
If you are an AmNet employee, you may have been provided with additional information regarding how your questions might be answered within the Company.
Before you read any of these documents, we draw your attention to the following important information about all of the documents posted on this page of our Website:
Forward-Looking Statements
The documents on this page of our website include “forward-looking statements.” The forward-looking statements contained herein include statements about the consummation of the proposed acquisition of AmNet Mortgage by Wachovia and the benefits of the proposed acquisition. These statements are subject to inherent risks with regard to the satisfaction of the conditions to the closing of the acquisition and the timing of the closing if it occurs. Additional information relating to the uncertainty affecting AmNet Mortgage’s business is contained in AmNet Mortgage’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Any forward-looking statement speaks only as of the date on which such statement was made, and AmNet Mortgage and Wachovia do not undertake any obligation to (and expressly disclaims any such obligation to) update any forward-looking statement to reflect events or circumstances after the date on which such statement was made, or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events.
Caution Required by Certain Securities and Exchange Commission Rules
In connection with the proposed merger, AmNet Mortgage will be filing a proxy statement and other relevant documents concerning the transaction with the Securities and Exchange Commission. INVESTORS AND SECURITY HOLDERS ARE URGED TO READ THE PROXY STATEMENT AND ANY OTHER RELEVANT DOCUMENTS FILED WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION WHEN THEY BECOME AVAILABLE BECAUSE THEY WILL CONTAIN IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT THE PROPOSED MERGER. Investors and security holders can obtain a free copy of the proxy statement (when available) and other documents filed by AmNet Mortgage with the Securities and Exchange Commission at the Securities and Exchange Commission’s website at http://www.sec.gov. Free copies of the proxy statement (when available) and other documents filed by AmNet Mortgage with the Securities and Exchange Commission may also be obtained from AmNet Mortgage by directing a request to Investor Relations, AmNet Mortgage, Inc.,
10421 Wateridge Circle, Suite 250 San Diego, CA, 92121 (email address: IR@amnetmortgageinc.com).
AmNet Mortgage and its directors and its executive officers may be deemed, under Securities and Exchange Commission rules, to be soliciting proxies from AmNet Mortgage’s stockholders in favor of the proposed merger. Information regarding the identity of these persons is set forth in a Schedule 14A filed by AmNet Mortgage with the Securities and Exchange Commission on July 6, 2005 relating to AmNet Mortgage’s 2005 annual meeting of stockholders and a Form 10-K/A filed by AmNet Mortgage with the Securities and Exchange Commission on July 6, 2005, both of which are available free of charge from the Securities and Exchange Commission or from AmNet Mortgage, as indicated above.
