Important Notice Regarding the Availability of Proxy
Materials for the Shareholder Meeting to Be Held at 10:00 a.m., Tuesday, June 9,
2009.
As part of our efforts to
cut unnecessary expenses and conserve the environment, Atlantic Southern
Financial Group Inc. has elected to provide Internet access to the proxy
statement and annual report rather than mailing paper reports. This reduces
postage and printing expenses and paper waste.
The annual shareholder
meeting will be held at 10:00 a.m. on Tuesday, June 9, 2009, at the
Grand Opera House, 651 Mulberry Street, Macon, Georgia. The matters to be
covered are noted below:
1.
Election of Directors;
2.
Other matters as may be put forth at the meeting.
The Board
of Directors of Atlantic Southern Financial Group recommends voting for the
above proposals.

that are available to you on the Internet. We encourage you to access and
