The Ohio Valley Bank Company
(the “Bank”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Ohio Valley Banc Corp., announced it has entered into a settlement agreement relating to the previously disclosed litigation the Bank had filed against a third-party tax software product provider. The
Bank filed the litigation as a result of the third party’s early termination of its tax processing contract with the Bank at the end of 2018. Under the settlement agreement, the third-party has agreed to make a $2 million payment to the Bank
during the first quarter 2020. In addition, the Bank has entered into a new agreement with the third-party to process future electronic refund checks and deposits presented for payment on behalf of taxpayers through accounts containing taxpayer
refunds. The new agreement provides that the Bank will process refunds for five tax seasons, beginning with the 2021 tax season and going through the 2025 tax season. The settlement agreement is subject to the court’s entering a dismissal of the
litigation.
