SUN VALLEY, Calif., Nov. 21, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- President & CEO Tamara Gurney of Mission Valley Bancorp (parent company of Mission Valley Bank) announced today a cash dividend of $0.075 per share, a $0.025 increase from the prior dividend issued in March 2015 on its outstanding common stock.  The dividend was approved by the Board of Directors on November 4, 2016.  The dividend will be payable on or about December 19, 2016 to common shareholders of record as of November 28, 2016.

Gurney stated, "The issuance of this, our second cash dividend to our common shareholders reflects Mission Valley's strong performance as well as our optimism toward the future.  The bank's solid capital position and robust earnings has served to enhance shareholder value and allowed us this opportunity to reward our shareholders."  Since the Bank's inception fifteen years ago, the company has issued four stock splits followed by its first cash dividend to common shareholders in early 2015.

Gurney went on to state, "Our Directors recognize the importance of capital planning coupled with an appropriate dividend strategy.  With the Bank's strong performance this year, our Board felt an increase in the dividend was warranted."
