NASHVILLE, Tenn., Jan. 28, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Truxton Corporation (OTCPK: TRUX), a financial holding company and the parent of Truxton Trust Company, announced that its Board of Directors has approved a quarterly cash dividend of $0.30 per common share payable March 25, 2021, to shareholders of record as of March 9, 2021.

In addition, a special cash dividend of $1.00 per common share will be paid on March 25, 2021, to shareholders of record as of March 9, 2021.

The Board of Directors has also authorized a stock repurchase program under which the Corporation may acquire up to $5 million of its common shares during a period beginning after the release of fourth quarter earnings and extending for one year. The shares may be purchased in open market or private transactions at the discretion of management, subject to the limitations of applicable securities laws.

The actual timing, number and value of the shares to be purchased under the program will be determined by the Corporation at its discretion and will depend on a number of factors, including the performance of the Corporation’s stock price, the Corporation’s ongoing capital planning considerations, general market and other conditions, applicable legal requirements and compliance with the terms of the Corporation’s outstanding indebtedness.
