President and CEO of Jefferson Security Bank (OTCPK: JFWV), Cindy Kitner, announced the Board of Directors’ approval of a semi-annual dividend at its February 15, 2023 meeting in the amount of $1.15 per share, payable on March 10, 2023, to shareholders of record on February 28, 2023. This represents an increase of $0.05 per share from the previous semi-annual dividend of $1.10 per share paid in September 2022.

“It is with great pleasure that we announce an increase in the semi-annual dividend,” said President and Chief Executive Officer Cindy Kitner. “While JSB managed through many challenges in 2022 and ultimately achieved our fifth consecutive year of record earnings, our efforts to improve capital were reduced by unprecedented shifts in economic markets. Our earnings performance demonstrates our commitment to improve capital and provide a meaningful return to our shareholders. We will remain focused on strong capital management and delivering value to our shareholders.”
