WARREN, Pa., April 22, 2013
WARREN, Pa., April 22, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- The Board of Directors of Northwest Bancshares, Inc. (NasdaqGS: NWBI) today announced the declaration of a special cash dividend of $0.12 per share. This dividend will be paid on May 16, 2013 to shareholders of record as of May 2, 2013 and will be in addition to the regular dividend that will be paid on the same day. The Board noted that this special dividend was made to supplement the regular dividend for the first quarter of 2013 which was prepaid in December 2012. The Company's Chairman, William J. Wagner, noted in making this decision, "The Board of Directors of Northwest Bancshares, Inc. recognizes the amount of excess capital our company is carrying and our limited ability to leverage this capital given current market and regulatory challenges. They also considered the fact that persistently low interest rates have significantly diminished our shareholders' investment yields and cash flow. Given these considerations, our Board felt that it made sense to return some of our excess capital to our shareholders at this time."
The Board also emphasized that the payment of the special dividend should not affect the payment of the regular quarterly dividends in 2013 which are scheduled to be paid in May, August and November.
