Dividend Restrictions Note 15 - Dividend Restrictions

Payment of cash dividends on common stock is conditional on earnings, financial condition, cash needs, capital considerations, the discretion of the Board of Directors of the Company, and compliance with regulatory requirements. State and federal law and regulations impose limitations on the Bank’s ability to pay dividends to the Company. Under New Jersey law, the Company is permitted to declare dividends on its common stock only if, after payment of the dividend, the capital stock of the Bank will be unimpaired and either the Bank will have a surplus of not less than 50 percent of its capital stock or the payment of the dividend will not reduce the Bank’s surplus. During 2022 and 2021, the Bank paid the Company total dividends of $22,338,000 and $15,885,000, respectively. The Company’s ability to declare dividends is dependent upon the amount of dividends paid to the Company by the Bank.
