The text explicitly states that the information contained in the report and its exhibit shall not be incorporated by reference into any other filing and is not deemed "filed" for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

Key Facts for Investor Verification

  • Verify the total cash outflow for the dividend is limited to the 22% of shares held by public shareholders, as the MHC waived its rights.
  • Confirm the MHC's waiver status for the remaining quarters of the four-quarter period ending June 30, 2016, to understand future capital retention.
  • Review the attached press release (Exhibit 99.1) for any additional context regarding the dividend policy or capital management strategy.
