On October 15, 2013, the Board of Directors declared a cash dividend for the quarter ended September 30, 2013 of $0.175 per share on Greene County Bancorp, Inc.’s common stock. The dividend reflects an annual cash dividend rate of $0.70 per share, which was the same as the dividend declared during the previous quarter. The dividend will be payable to stockholders of record as of November 15, 2013, and will be paid on November 29, 2013. Historically, the MHC has waived its right to receive dividends declared on its shares of the Company’s common stock. The Federal Reserve Board has adopted interim final regulations that impose significant conditions and restrictions on the ability of mutual holding companies to waive the receipt of dividends from their subsidiaries, and as a result, the MHC was unable to waive its right to receive dividends paid on its shares on the Company’s common stock during the quarters ended September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2012. The MHC obtained approval of its members at the special meeting of members held on February 19, 2013 to waive the dividend, and received the non-objection of the Federal Reserve Board for such dividend waiver. The MHC has thus far waived its right to receive dividends declared on its shares of the Company’s common stock in all periods subsequent to this approval and non-objection. The MHC intends to waive its receipt of the dividend payable on November 29, 2013.
