On November 27, 2012, the Board of Directors of Ohio Valley Banc Corp. declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.21 per share on its common shares, payable on December 14, 2012 to shareholders of record on December 7, 2012. The Board determined to declare and pay early the dividend that normally would be considered for payment in February 2013.
Thomas E. Wiseman, President and Chief Executive Officer, commented, “The prepayment of the first quarter 2013 dividend, in the fourth of quarter of 2012, is based on Ohio Valley Banc Corp.’s stable capital position, financial performance for the first nine months of 2012, and potential changes in tax rates that could adversely affect America’s taxpayers, including Ohio Valley Banc Corp.’s shareholders, in 2013.”
