New Bancorp, Inc. Announces Plan for Distribution of $26.25 Per Share to Stockholders in Connection With Its Voluntary Plan of Dissolution and Complete Liquidation


New Bancorp, Inc. (OTC PINK: NWBB) (the "Company"), the former holding company of New Buffalo Savings Bank, today announced that its Board of Directors has approved a distribution of $26.25 per share to its stockholders of record as of the close of business on October 29, 2020. The payment of the distribution will be initiated on or about October 30, 2020. This distribution will be made in accordance with the Company's previously announced voluntary Plan of Dissolution and Complete Liquidation (the "Liquidation Plan") that was approved by its stockholders at a special meeting of stockholders held on October 22, 2019 and is expected to be the final distribution to stockholders.

Dissolution Plan Update

The Company is continuing to wind up its operations and resolve all outstanding liabilities and creditor claims. After paying the above distribution amount, any remaining funds will be used for the payment of final dissolution expenses, the settlement of any final claims and expenses and the establishment of any necessary reserve amounts in connection with winding up the Company.

The Company expects the final winding up process to take up to three years and that the amount of any funds remaining following the completion of such process, will be nominal. After completion of the final winding up process following dissolution, the Board of Directors expects to donate any remaining funds to charitable organizations.

Removal from the OTC Pink Marketplace

Stockholders shares will be cancelled as a part of the distribution. Upon completion of this distribution, the Company anticipates that its shares will be removed from the OTC Pink marketplace and that further trading will not be permitted. There can be no guarantee on the timing of when its shares will be removed from the OTC Pink marketplace, and the Company does not intend to provide an additional notice of its removal.
