DECLARES 50% STOCK DIVIDEND AND ANNOUNCES EFFECTIVE
INCREASE IN CASH DIVIDEND
BOWLING GREEN, OHIO, [NASDAQ: FFWD] - Wood Bancorp, Inc., the parent
corporation of First Federal Bank, has announced a 50% stock dividend
(effectively, a three-for-two stock split) payable on or about July 29, 1997 to
shareholders of record on July 15, 1997. The stock dividend will result in a 50%
increase in the Corporation's annual cash dividend payout.
"Wood Bancorp is enjoying record performance," said Richard L. Gordley,
President. "This action by our Board of Directors shares our success with
shareholders and rewards them for their investment in Wood Bancorp." Mr. Gordley
added, "The Board's action will increase the number of shares outstanding from
1,411,186 to 2,116,779, making it easier for small investors to purchase our
stock."
Under the terms of the stock dividend, Wood Bancorp shareholders will
receive a dividend of one share for every two shares held on the record date.
Fractional shares created by the stock dividend will be paid in cash based upon
the price of the Corporation's stock on July 15, 1997, as adjusted for the stock
dividend. A cash dividend of $.10 per share will continue to be paid on the
number of shares outstanding after the stock dividend, which effectively
translates to a 50% increase over the previous dividend paid.
At March 31, 1997, the Corporation has assets of $163.5 million and
stockholders' equity of $20.8 million. The Corporation's stock is quoted on the
Nasdaq Small-Cap Market under the ticker symbol "FFWD." The Corporation's stock
closed at $16.875 per share on June 30, 1997.
