RALEIGH. N.C., Aug. 28, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Integrated Financial Holdings, Inc. (OTCQX: IFHI) (the “Company” or “IFHI”), the financial holding company for West Town Bank & Trust and Windsor Advantage, LLC, announced today that its board of directors has approved distribution of a special stock dividend to its common stock shareholders of all of the shares of common stock of Dogwood State Bank (“Dogwood”) owned by IFHI. The distribution of the Dogwood shares will be made to all IFHI shareholders of record as of September 9, 2024 (the “Record Date”). The distribution of the Dogwood shares is expected to take place on September 23, 2024 (the “Distribution Date”), to IFHI shareholders as of the Record Date. The distribution will take place in the form of a pro rata dividend of Dogwood shares.
The distribution ratio with respect to the number of shares of Dogwood common stock that will be paid per share of IFHI common stock will be determined on the Record Date. Such ratio will be calculated by dividing the number of shares of Dogwood common stock owned by IFHI on the Record Date by the number of shares of IFHI common stock outstanding on such date. Based on the number of shares of IFHI common stock outstanding on August 27, 2024, and the number of shares of Dogwood’s common stock owned by IFHI as of such date, the approximate distribution ratio to IFHI shareholders as of the Record Date would be 0.4673 shares of Dogwood common stock for each share of IFHI common stock owned. This ratio is subject to change based on any changes in the number of IFHI shares of common stock outstanding between such date and the Record Date.
No fractional shares of Dogwood common stock will be distributed. Instead, IFHI shareholders will receive cash in lieu of any fraction of a share of Dogwood stock that they otherwise would have received.
IFHI shareholders are encouraged to consult their own financial and/or tax advisors regarding the specific implications of the special dividend of Dogwood shares.
