Ottawa Savings in Ill. Plans Second-Step Conversion

Ottawa Savings Bancorp in Ottawa, Ill., is planning its second-step conversion.

Ottawa did not disclose how many shares it plans to sell; that information will be made available in the third quarter.

"Our board … and management team believe this transaction will position us well into the future to serve our markets far beyond our existing capabilities," Jon Kranov, Ottawa's president and chief executive, said in the release.
