1st Banc reports quarterly dividend
EAST LIVERPOOL The Board of Directors of Tri-State 1st Banc Inc. declared its normal quarterly dividend in the amount of $.05 per share on both Common Stock and Preferred Series A stock for the 1st Quarter of 2011.
In January, the company paid a 25 percent stock dividend to its existing shareholders.
Since the dividends were not reduced in the first quarter from the previous level, in effect shareholders will receive 25 percent more as the return on their investment from shares held prior to the stock dividend.
The dividends were declared at a meeting of the Board of Directors on Feb. 23, and will be paid on March 28 to shareholders of record on March 7, 2010. The predecessor of the company was the 1st National Community Bank and those shareholders have been paid a dividend each year since 1990. 1st National Community Bank was chartered in June 1987.
There are 986,033 shares of common stock of Tri-State 1st Banc outstanding and if the number of shares does not change on the record date, the company will pay $49,302 to stockholders.
The Board of Directors also approved the payment of the scheduled annual dividend to holders of the Series B Preferred stock at a total cost of $241,600. This dividend will be paid on April 1, and also is payable to shareholders of record on March 7, 2010.
"Capital is the most critical commodity in the financial industry today," said Charles B. Lang, chairman of Tri-State 1st Banc Inc. "Capital enables banks and other financial companies to support deposit growth, assume a reasonable level of risk in building loan portfolios, open additional customer service offices or acquire new offices in new markets.
"We have been most fortunate over the last 24 years to have so many investors who believed in our mission and this has been primarily responsible for our success. Dividends are the way we can say 'thank you' to our investors."
