SHAREHOLDERS' EQUITY SHAREHOLDERS’ EQUITY
Cash dividends declared and paid were $1.42, $1.40 and $1.37 per share for the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021, respectively.  Future dividends will depend on our earnings, financial condition and other factors which the board of directors considers to be relevant.  Our dividend policy requires that any cash dividend payments made may not exceed consolidated earnings for that year.
We are subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by the federal banking agencies.  Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can initiate certain mandatory and possibly additional discretionary actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct material effect on our financial statements.  Under capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, we must meet specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of our assets, liabilities and certain off-balance-sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting practices.  Our capital amounts and classification are also subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators regarding components, risk weightings and other factors.
Quantitative measures established by regulation to ensure capital adequacy require us to maintain minimum amounts and ratios (set forth in the table below) of Common Equity Tier 1, Tier 1 and Total Capital (as defined in the regulations) to risk-weighted assets (as defined) and of Tier 1 Capital (as defined) to average assets (as defined).  At December 31, 2023, we exceeded all regulatory minimum capital requirements.
As of December 31, 2023, the most recent notification from the FDIC categorized us as well capitalized under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action.  To be categorized as well capitalized we must maintain minimum Common Equity Tier 1 risk-based, Tier 1 risk-based, Total risk-based and Tier 1 leverage ratios as set forth in the following table (dollars in thousands).  There are no conditions or events since that notification that management believes have changed our category.
