Company Completes 3 for 2 Stock Split
SAN DIEGO - San Diego Trust Bank (OTC BB: SDBK) was recognized by the California's Banker's Association and Carpenter & Company during their annual Strategic Summit, for having achieved the highest stock appreciation of any bank in California over the last year, in the asset class $50 million to $100 million. The award, "Market Cap Champion", was presented to Michael Perry, the Bank's President & CEO, in recognition for having achieved a 170% increase in the value of the company's stock during the past year. The Bank's stock steadily climbed from it's initial offering price of $10.00 per share to $27.00 per share as of December 31, 2004. Since that time, the company's stock has continued to perform well closing at $37.75 as of Friday, May 13th.
The Strategic Issues Summit is sponsored by the California Banker's Association, the largest state trade association in the country, and Carpenter & Company, an Irvine-based investment banking firm specializing in financial institutions. The Market Cap awards are presented to banks in five asset classes, ranging from smaller community banks with under $50 million in assets, to larger banks with total assets of $1 billion to $10 billion.
"We were honored to receive such recognition, and continue to put forth our very best efforts on behalf of our clients and shareholders," stated Michael Perry, President & CEO. "We remain focused on building the premier bank in our market, and in doing so, generating a significant return for our loyal shareholders," he continued.
The Bank also announced today that it has completed the 3 for 2 stock split which was approved by the California Department of Financial Institutions last month. Each shareholder received one additional share for every two that they owned, and accordingly the price per share has been adjusted to reflect such. The Bank trades under the ticker symbol "SDBK".
