Century Next Financial Corporation Announces Implementation of Stock Repurchase Plan

Century Next Financial Corporation (OTCQB: CTUY), the holding company of Bank of Ruston, announced today that its Board of Directors unanimously adopted a resolution to implement a stock repurchase plan (the “Plan”).

Under the Plan, Century Next Financial Corporation, the “Company”, is authorized to repurchase, during a twelve-month period beginning on June 1, 2014, up to 5% or approximately 52,670 shares of the Company’s currently issued and outstanding common stock. The timing of the repurchases, pursuant to the Plan, will depend on a variety of factors, including market conditions and may be made from time to time at the discretion of the Board of Directors in open-market or privately-negotiated transactions. The plan may be suspended or discontinued at any time.

Trading activity in the Company’s common stock in the over-the-counter market is light and liquidity is limited. Accordingly, the Board of Directors believes that repurchasing shares of its common stock, at market or negotiated prices acceptable to the Company, would be in the best interest of the Company and its shareholders and, in particular, those shareholders seeking to liquidate or reduce their investment in the Company.

The implementation of the Plan will not impair the Company’s current “well-capitalized” rating, as its regulatory capital level will continue to exceed the minimum requirements established for a well-capitalized institution by the applicable regulators.
