Item 5. Other Events and Regulation FD Disclosure
The Registrant announced today that it has appointed Malcom M. Aslin as the
Chief Executive Officer of Gold Banc Corporation, Inc. and Gold Bank-Kansas to
replace Michael W. Gullion in those positions effective as of March 17, 2003.
Mr. Gullion is being replaced due to an ongoing investigation into certain
irregularities related to his personal bank accounts at Gold Bank-Kansas. The
irregularities were discovered by the Registrant's internal auditors and its
audit committee. Independent counsel engaged by the Registrant's audit committee
and the Registrant's internal auditing department continue to investigate the
irregularities.
The exact size and number of the irregular transactions have not been
definitely identified. Based upon a preliminary review, losses, if any, to the
Registrant and Gold Bank-Kansas will not be material.
Further information regarding this matter is set forth in the press release
issued today which is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and incorporated by
reference herein.
