As a national bank, the Bank may not pay dividends from its capital. All dividends must be paid out of undivided profits, subject to other applicable provisions of law. Subject to certain restrictions, the directors of a national bank may declare a dividend of so much of the undivided profits of the Bank as the directors judge to be prudent. In addition, a national bank may not declare and pay dividends in any year in excess of an amount equal to the sum of the total of the net income of the Bank for that year and the retained net income of the Bank for the preceding two years, minus the sum of any transfers required by the OCC and any transfers required to be made to a fund for the retirement of any preferred stock, unless the OCC approves the declaration and payment of dividends in excess of such amount.
