USCB Financial
Holdings, Inc.
(the “Company”)
(NASDAQ: USCB), the holding
company for U.S. Century Bank (the “Bank”), announced today that
its Board of Directors approved a cash dividend program under which
the Company intends to pay quarterly cash dividends. The inaugural
quarterly dividend for the first quarter of 2024 will be $0.05 per
share of Class A common stock, payable on March 5, 2024, to
shareholders of record as of the close of business on February 15,
2024. Future dividend payments are subject to quarterly review and
approval by the Board of Directors and will be targeted to be paid
in the third month of the quarter.
This first cash dividend represents an aggregate
payout of approximately $978,000, or 36% of the Company’s reported
fourth quarter 2023 net income. Based on the closing stock price of
USCB common shares of $12.15 on January 26, 2024, the quarterly
dividend produces an annualized yield of 1.65%.
Luis de la Aguilera, Chairman, President, and
CEO stated, “The Board’s decision to initiate a dividend program,
following a truly challenging year in the banking sector, reflects
the confidence in the Company’s performance, as well as the
commitment of our Board to drive shareholder value by returning
capital to shareholders while maintaining a strong balance sheet to
support the growth of our Bank.”
The paying of cash dividends on a quarterly
basis is subject to a determination and declaration each quarter by
the Board of Directors, which will take into account a number of
factors, including the financial condition of the Company and any
applicable legal and regulatory restrictions on the payment of
dividends by the Company and the Bank.
