On January 18, 2017, Greene County Bancorp, Inc. (the “Company”) announced that its Board of Directors has approved a quarterly cash dividend of $0.095 per share on the Company’s common stock. The dividend reflects an annual cash dividend rate of $0.38 per share, which is the same rate as the dividend declared during the previous quarter. A press release announcing the details of the dividend declaration is filed as exhibit 99.1.
Greene County Bancorp, MHC (the “MHC”), the mutual holding company and majority stockholder of the Company, and owner of 4,609,264 shares of the Company’s 8,502,614 total shares of common stock outstanding, has waived its right to receive the dividends on its shares. Accordingly, the dividend is expected to be paid only on the 3,893,350 shares of common stock owned by minority stockholders of the Company.
The MHC received the approval of its members (depositors of The Bank of Greene County) and the non-objection of the Federal Reserve Bank of Philadelphia to waive the MHC’s receipt of quarterly cash dividends aggregating up to $0.40 per share to be declared by the Company for the four quarters ending December 31, 2016.
