B EO B a n c o rp (O T C B B :B E O B ), parent company o f Bank of Eastern Oregon, today announced that its Board o f Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend o f $0.15 per share payable on or before Octo ber 15, 2008, to sharehold ers o f record as of September 30. “ We c o n tin u e to deliver solid earnings to stockholders during these troubling times in all finan cial markets,” said CEO, E. George Koffler. “In addition to taking a conservative ap proach to credit granting, w e ’ve ram ped up credit monitoring and oversight, especially in credits with an underlying real estate component. This added caution is reflected in the general increases to the Loan Loss R eserve, which accounts for loan portfolio growth, identified problem credits, and potential general market w eaknesses. O ur reserve for losses stands at 1.40%, a historically large number for us, while our year to date earnings continue to keep pace with last year’s historic success,” concluded Koffler. This is the 23rd year in a row the company has paid cash dividends. The board will continue to re view its dividend policy. Cash dividends, when and if declared, will typically be paid in April, July, October, and January. Decisions on future dividends will con sider a w ide range o f indi cators, including operating results, retained earnings, capital, and general market conditions.
