ACNB Corporation Announces Fourth Quarter Cash Dividend
23 October 2020 - 12:10AM
The Board of Directors of ACNB Corporation recently approved and
declared the payment of the regular quarterly cash dividend. The
cash dividend of $0.25 per share is payable on December 15, 2020,
to shareholders of record on December 1, 2020. This per share
amount will result in aggregate dividend payments of approximately
$2.2 million to ACNB Corporation shareholders in the fourth quarter
of 2020. In comparison to a year ago, ACNB Corporation also paid a
$0.25 dividend per share in the fourth quarter of 2019.
“In continuing ACNB Corporation’s long-standing
history of a quarterly cash dividend, the Board of Directors voted
to provide a fourth quarter cash dividend of $0.25 per share, which
is the same amount paid for the past six quarters beginning in June
2019,” said James P. Helt, ACNB Corporation President & Chief
Executive Officer. “Despite this year’s unprecedented times due to
the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic, with the payment of a stable
dividend, the Board of Directors remains committed to the
shareholders who invest their money in our future. We may have
changed how we worked during this pandemic; however, we did not
change the purpose of our work. At ACNB Corporation’s community
banking and insurance agency subsidiaries, we are resilient and
looking to the future---as are the customers and communities we
proudly serve.”
With this fourth quarter dividend, the regular
quarterly cash dividends paid to shareholders for the year of 2020
will total $1.00 per share. This per share amount will result in
aggregate dividend payments of approximately $8.7 million to ACNB
Corporation shareholders for 2020---a year-over-year increase of
approximately $1.8 million including the 2020 dividends paid to new
shareholders resulting from the acquisition of Frederick County
Bancorp, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Frederick County
Bank, effective January 11, 2020. In comparison to a year ago, ACNB
Corporation paid a total of $0.98 per share in 2019 and an
aggregate of more than $6.9 million to shareholders during the same
period.
