Pinnacle Bankshares Corporation Announces Share Repurchase Program

Pinnacle Bankshares Corporation (OTCQB:PPBN), the one-bank holding company (the “Company”) for First National Bank (the “Bank”), announced today that its Board of Directors has approved a plan to repurchase up to $500,000 of the Company’s outstanding common stock through May 12, 2014. The Company intends to repurchase shares on an ongoing basis through open market purchases, block trades and privately-negotiated purchases. Actual repurchases will be subject to the availability of stock, general market conditions, the trading price of stock, alternative uses for capital and the Company’s capital ratios. The repurchase program may be suspended, modified or discontinued at any time, and the Company has no obligation to repurchase any amount of its common stock under the program.

“We are excited to announce our first share repurchase program,” said Aubrey H. Hall, III, President and Chief Executive Officer for both the Company and the Bank. “Pinnacle recently announced another excellent quarter of earnings and is in a strong financial position. While the trading price of the Company’s stock has improved significantly over the last year, our Board and Management believe that the stock price does not fully reflect the true value of our Company. This share repurchase program will potentially increase trading volume in our stock, which we believe is in the best interest of our shareholders,” Hall said.
