Page 4 THE VILLADOM TIMES III • February 11, 2009 Business Stewardship Financial to participate in TARP Stewardship Financial Corporation, parent of Atlantic Stewardship Bank, has announced that it has received $10 million as part of the U.S. Treasury Department’s Troubled Asset Relief Program: Capital Purchase Program for “healthy institutions.” Stewardship issued 10,000 Senior Preferred shares and 127,119 warrants to purchase common stock to the U.S. Treasury. President and Chief Executive Officer Paul Van Ostenbridge commented, “We are pleased to be selected for participation in this program, which is designed to provide additional capital to healthy, well managed financial institutions. We view the terms of the Capital Purchase Program to be an attractive low-cost alternative to other capital sources in today’s market and an excellent opportunity to support the recovery of the U.S. economy. Stewardship intends to utilize this additional capital to better serve the lending needs of consumers and businesses in our market.” Stewardship’s senior preferred shares will pay a cumulative dividend of 5% per annum for the first five years and 9% per annum thereafter. The shares are callable by Stewardship at par after three years and may be replaced, at any time, if Stewardship were to choose to repurchase them with newly raised equity capital. Associated with the purchase of Stewardship’s senior preferred shares, the Treasury received warrants to purchase 127,119 in Stewardship common shares at an exercise price of $11.80 per share. Van Ostenbridge stated, “This investment will further strengthen Stewardship’s already solid capital position.” At Sept. 30, 2008, Stewardship’s capital ratios were all above the level required to be categorized as “well capitalized.” Stewardship’s leverage capital, Tier I risk-based capital and total risk-based capital were 8.02%, 10.47% and 11.72%, respectively, at Sept. 30, 2008. Stewardship Financial Corporation’s subsidiary, the Atlantic Stewardship Bank, has 13 banking offices in Midland Park, Hawthorne, Montville, North Haledon, Pequannock, Ridgewood, Waldwick, Wayne, Westwood, and Wyckoff.
