Teche has adopted a plan to repurchase up to 3%, or approximately 62,000 shares, of the Company&#8217;s common stock.<\/p>\n<p>In announcing the stock repurchase program, Little commented, &#8220;The Company&#8217;s Board of Directors believes that adoption of a stock repurchase program signals confidence in our long term performance and our commitment to continuously improve the rate of return for our shareholders.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The repurchases will be made in accordance with the plan and are expected to be made from time to time in open-market and privately negotiated transactions, subject to the availability of stock, market conditions, the trading price of the stock and the Company&#8217;s financial performance. Such repurchased shares may become treasury shares and utilized for general corporate and other purposes, including the issuances of shares to the Company&#8217;s stock benefit plans to mitigate the potentially dilutive effects of such plans. The repurchase program is expected to be completed in 12 to 18 months.<\/p>\n<p><strong><strong>Teche Holding Company<\/strong> &#8211; TSH &#8211; Announced Quarterly Dividend<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>TSH Announced Quarterly Dividend of $0.365 Per Common Share, Yield of 3.75% and Payout Ratio of 44.0%.
