With the payments of the regular and special cash dividends in September, original shareholders will have received $2.90 per share in cash and own a stock currently valued above $72.00. As the bank continues to grow, we will utilize both opportunistic share repurchases and cash dividends to manage capital and maximize shareholder value,” commented Leon Blankstein, CEO, President and Director.
