On May 17, 2022, the Board of Directors of Live Oak Bancshares, Inc. (the “Company”) declared a cash dividend of $0.03 per share payable on June 14, 2022, to shareholders of record of the Company’s voting common stock as of May 31, 2022.

On May 17, 2022, the Board of Directors of the Company authorized the repurchase of up to $50,000,000 in shares of the Company’s voting common stock from time to time through December 31, 2023 (the “Repurchase Program”).  The Repurchase Program enables the Company to acquire shares through open market purchases or privately negotiated transactions, including through a Rule 10b5-1 plan, at the discretion of management and on terms (including quantity, timing, and price) that management determines to be advisable. Actions in connection with the repurchase program will be subject to various factors, including the Company’s capital and liquidity positions, regulatory and accounting considerations, the Company’s financial and operational performance, alternative uses of capital, the trading price of the Company’s common stock, and market conditions. The repurchase program does not obligate the Company to acquire a specific dollar amount or number of shares and may be extended, modified, or discontinued at any time.
