Middlefield Banc Corp. Announces First Quarter 2011 Cash Dividend
MIDDLEFIELD, OHIO, February 15, 2011 ¨¨¨¨ Middlefield Banc Corp. (OTCQB: MBCN) today announced that the company’s board of directors has declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.26 per common share payable on March 15, 2011, to shareholders of record on March 4, 2011. This is equal to the cash dividend paid in the first quarter of last year.

We remain confident of our ability to generate returns sufficient to reward our shareholders for their continued trust.”
