CSB BANCORP ANNOUNCES NEW APPOINTMENTS



CSB Bancorp is pleased to announce that Ronald Holtman, Phillip W. Smith, Jr., Eddie Lee Steiner and John R. Waltman commenced serving as directors of CSB on June 28, 2001. As disclosed in CSB's recently mailed proxy statement, Messrs. Holtman, Smith, Steiner and Waltman were appointed to the board of directors to fill the vacancies resulting from the resignations of David W. Kaufman, H. Richard Maxwell, Samuel P. Riggle, Jr. and David C. Sprang.



Mr. James Bess, the President of CSB, expressed his gratitude to the resigning directors stating:



"The retiring directors will be missed. Although I only had the opportunity to work with them for several months, each of them was hard working and made a positive contribution to the board and CSB."



Mr. Bess also stated that he is looking forward to working with the new directors. Mr. Bess stated:



"CSB is fortunate to find directors with the skills and talents of our new directors. Their background and experience will be helpful in dealing with the increasingly complicated business and regulatory environment."



Mr. Bess also noted that:



"Since I joined CSB in December 2000, CSB has named six new directors who together constitute sixty percent of the Board of Directors. Clearly, anyone calling for change at the board of directors level should be pleased by the changes that have been made."
