HALIFAX, Pa., May 16, 2014 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) -- Riverview Financial Corporation (OTCQB: RIVE) announced that on May 14, 2014 its Board of Directors declared the payment of a cash dividend of $0.14 per share for the second quarter 2014, an increase of 12 percent as compared with the $0.125 cash dividend paid for the second quarter of 2013. The dividend is payable on June 30, 2014 to all shareholders of record as of June 6, 2014.
Robert M. Garst, Chief Executive Officer stated, "We are pleased to announce the increase in the amount of our second quarter dividend to $0.14 per share. The dividend increase is our way of sharing our financial success and enhancing shareholder value. The decision to increase the second quarter dividend was based upon Riverview's strong financial results for the first quarter of 2014. In addition, our intention for 2014 is to 'even out' the quarterly dividend payments over the course of the year in order to avoid the historical spike in the payment of our fourth quarter dividend, while attempting to maintain a consistent dividend payout year over year."
