Freedom Bank Announces Stock Split

Freedom Bank of Virginia (Bank) (Bulletin Board:FDVA.OB) announces a six for five stock split. The split will result in shareholders receiving one additional share of common stock for every five shares of common stock owned. For fractional shares created by the split, shares over 0.49 will be rounded up; otherwise, shares will be rounded down. The Bank completed a third year of strong profits in 2012 and had a record first half in 2013. According to CEO Craig Underhill, “The past three years have been very difficult for the economy in general and banks in particular. Freedom has performed well during this period as evidenced by our inclusion in The American Banker’s list of the top 200 Community Banks. This tax free distribution of additional shares rewards our shareholders.” The split was announced July 22, 2013 and will be effective for stockholders owning the stock on August 13, 2013.
