Rule 13e-3 Transaction Statement

         Sturgis Bancorp, Inc. (the "Company") hereby submits this Amendment No. 4 to the Company's Rule 13e-3 Transaction Statement on Schedule 13E-3 filed by the Company and SB Merger Company ("SB Merger Co.") on September 29, 2004, as amended on November 24 and December 17, 2004, and January 13, 2005.

         On February 22, 2005, the record holders of the Company's common stock as of January 5, 2005, approved an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the "Plan of Merger"). Pursuant to the Plan of Merger, SB Merger Co. merged with and into the Company. Each shareholder of the Company holding of record fewer than 500 shares of common stock immediately before the effective time of the merger is entitled to receive $16.00 per share in cash, without interest, and each shareholder of the Company holding of record 500 or more shares immediately before the effective time of the merger will continue to hold the same number of shares and will not receive any cash.

         The merger resulted in the Company having fewer than 300 record holders of its outstanding common stock. Accordingly, the Company has filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission contemporaneously with this Schedule 13E-3 a Form 15 suspending immediately its duty to file periodic reports with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to Section 13 of the Securities Act of 1934 (the "Act") and terminating the registration of its common stock under the Act.
