On December 16, 2014, the Board of Directors of AJS Bancorp, Inc. (the “Company”) announced the declaration of a one-time special cash dividend on the Company’s outstanding shares of common stock of $0.25 per share. The dividend will be payable to stockholders of record as of January 6, 2015 and is expected to be paid on January 27, 2015.
The Board of Directors believes the special dividend is an appropriate way to reward shareholders for their continued support. Any future determination to pay dividends on its common shares will remain at the discretion of the Company’s Board of Directors and will be dependent upon many factors, including its results of operations, cash flows, financial position, capital requirements, general business opportunities, legal, tax, regulatory, and contractual restrictions.
