JASPER, IN / ACCESSWIRE / February 22, 2022 / SVB&T Corporation (OTCQX:SVBT), parent company of Springs Valley Bank & Trust Company, today announced that its Board of Directors declared a two-for-one stock split in the form of a stock dividend, payable on or about March 10, 2022 to shareholders of record as of March 1, 2022. Under the terms of the stock split, the Company's shareholders will receive a dividend of one common share for each common share held on the record date.

The dividend will be paid in authorized but unissued shares of the Company's common stock.
Jamie Shinabarger, President and CEO, stated, "We are pleased to announce that the Board of Directors has determined that this stock split, in the form of a stock dividend, is in the best interest of our shareholders, and it reflects our continued confidence in the long-term growth and financial performance of SVB&T Corporation. We anticipate that the reduced trading price per share as a result of the stock split will promote new investor interest and continue to enhance our stock's liquidity in the market. We believe the stock split is another sound business strategy that reflects our strong commitment to building long-term profitability and enhancing shareholder value."
The Board of Directors also declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.16 per share post-stock split ($0.32 pre-split) of the Corporation's common stock.
