BEO Bancorp announces dividend for 2010 “ I am pleased to announce that the Board of Directors o f BEO Bancorp has voted to declare a $0.20 per share dividend for 2010. The dividend will be paid to shareholders of record as of December 6,2010, payable on or before December 15, 2010,” said president and CEO, Jeff Bailey. According to Board Chairman, Brad Anderson, “BEO Bancorp has paid a dividend 24 o f the past 25 years. Dividends are a reflection of the financial stability and profitability o f the bank. We are very happy to be able to provide this dividend to our share holders.” “In 2009, the board o f directors made the pru dent decision to forego pay m ent o f dividends during the recent recession. The actions helped to strengthen capital and complimented the successful capital raise o f last winter. The board will continue to assess over all econom ic conditions and m ake decisions that are in the long term best interest of our shareholders, customers, employees, and com m unities,” concluded Bailey.
