Triad Business Bank confirmed it is 'Party A' from M&F Bancorp's proxy and published an open letter with its fourth acquisition proposal: $53.50 fixed cash per share (for up to 25% of shares) or 1.25 combined-company shares per M&F share. The proposal tops the Optus agreement's 'up to' $53.30 maximum, with none of Triad's cash contingent on the Series E preferred redemption, and preserves M&F's 1907 charter, Durham home office, and minority depository institution status. M&F shareholders rejected the Optus deal on October 7 and the meeting is adjourned to October 20.
