Ford ------------------------------------ ** Signature of Reporting Person 8/5/2002 GERALD J. FORD ATTACHMENT NO. 1 TO FORM 4 - GERALD J. FORD (1) 1,044,027 shares of Golden State Common Stock (the "Shares") reported herein were acquired by Mr. Ford as contingent merger consideration pursuant to Section 1.6 of the Agreement and Plan of Reorganization dated as of February 4, 1998, as amended (the "Agreement") among First Gibraltar Holdings Inc., Hunter's Glen/Ford, Ltd. ("Hunter's Glen"), First Nationwide (Parent) Holdings Inc., First Nationwide Holdings Inc., Golden State Bancorp Inc. ("GSB") and Golden State Financial Corporation. The Shares are indirectly owned by Mr. Ford through Hunter's Glen, a limited partnership in which Mr. Ford and Ford Diamond Corporation, a corporate entity controlled by Mr. Ford, are the general partners. Hunter's Glen is the record holder of the Shares reported herein. Pursuant to the formula set forth in the Agreement, the price per share attributed to the Shares is $19.1566. (2) Subject to earlier vesting in connection with a change in control of GSB, the option vests in three equal annual installments commencing January 22, 2003. (3)The 2002 Long Term Incentive Plan Right ("LTIP Right") is tied directly to the performance of GSB's common stock over a three-year period from 2002 through 2004. The award payable at the end of the three-year period ("LTIP Period") is an amount equal to the product of (i) a target award, which is 125% of the reporting person's annual salary at the time of the payment of the award, and (ii) a "percentage", which is based on the relationship that GSB's actual stock price at the end of the performance period (calculated as an average over the last thirty trading days of the LTIP Period) bears to the target price of $38.85. If a change in control of GSB occurs prior to the end of the LTIP Period, the reporting person is entitled to receive the target award. JOINT FILERS 1. Name of designated filer: Gerald J.
