Stockholders' Equity [Abstract]

Stockholders' Equity

NOTE 11:  STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY

In July 2013, the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve approved the Basel III interim final rule (Basel III), which is intended to strengthen the quality and increase the required level of regulatory capital for a more stable and resilient banking system. The changes include (1) a new regulatory capital measure, Common Equity Tier 1 (CET1), which is limited to capital elements of the highest quality, (2) a new definition and increase of tier 1 capital which is now comprised of CET1 and Additional Tier 1, (3) changes in calculation of some risk-weighted assets and off-balance sheet exposure, and (4) a capital conservation buffer that will limit capital distributions, stock redemptions, and certain discretionary bonus payments if the institution does not maintain capital in excess of the minimum capital requirements. These new capital rules took effect for our Bank on January 1, 2015.
