Material Changes and Context
The MHC's waiver of this dividend is consistent with a prior approval received on July 14, 2020, from its members and the Federal Reserve Bank of Cleveland. This approval allows the MHC to waive dividends up to $1.12 per share during the four quarters ending June 30, 2021. The MHC previously waived a $0.28 per share dividend paid on September 23, 2020.
Guidance, Outlook, and Risks

Key Facts for Investor Verification
- Verify the total cash outflow impact of the dividend, noting that the majority shareholder (MHC) is not receiving payment on 81.1% of shares.
- Confirm the MHC's remaining capacity to waive dividends under the $1.12 per share limit approved for the period ending June 30, 2021.
