On February 7, 2018, the Board of Directors of State Bank Financial Corporation (the "Company") declared a quarterly dividend of $.20 per common share to be paid on March 13, 2018 to the common stock shareholders of record as of March 5, 2018. A copy of the press release announcing the cash dividend is attached to this Current Report on Form 8-K as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.
Extension of Stock Repurchase Plan
On February 9, 2018, the Company extended and amended its existing stock repurchase plan for an additional year. Under the stock repurchase plan, the Company may purchase up to 1,229,285 shares of its common stock in accordance with the guidelines specified in Rule 10b5-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. The Company has purchased 270,715 shares of common stock under the plan to date. The plan will now expire on the earlier of (a) February 24, 2019, (b) the date on which the maximum aggregate number of shares authorized to be repurchased has been repurchased, or (c) after written notice by the broker or the Company as specified in the plan. Because repurchases made under the plan are subject to SEC regulations as well as certain constraints specified in the plan, there is no guarantee regarding the exact number of shares that the Company will purchase under the plan.
