On April 15, 2013, the Board of Directors of the Madison County Financial, Inc. (the “Company”), the holding company of Madison County Bank (the “Bank”), declared an annual cash dividend on the Company’s common stock of $0.28 per share.

The Company announced its adoption of an annual cash dividend policy whereby, it will target an annual cash dividend payout ratio of 25% of the Company’s prior year consolidated net income, with any such annual dividends expected to be declared and paid during the second quarter of each calendar year. The Company will review each future proposed cash dividend, and any future cash dividends will be subject to the Company and the Bank continuing to satisfy all applicable statutory and regulatory capital and asset maintenance requirements, the continued financial strength of the Company and the Bank and other factors to be considered by the Board of
Directors.
