Elmer Bancorp, Inc. Postpones Annual Meeting


ELMER BANCORP, INC. ("Elmer Bancorp" or the "Company") (OTC Pink:ELMA), parent company of The First National Bank of Elmer (the "Bank"), today announced that, given the ongoing and dynamic nature of the circumstances surrounding the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic and the resulting difficulty predicting the impact of the coronavirus outbreak on the business of the Bank, the Company will not be paying a quarterly dividend to stockholders on May 1, 2020. Brian W. Jones, the President and CEO of the Company and the Bank, stated, "The Board believes that, in these challenging times, it is prudent to retain all earnings within the Bank to provide capital to protect against any adverse impacts of the coronavirus outbreak on the Bank."

Cindee F. Low, Chairman of the Board, added, "As always, future dividends are not guaranteed, and are only payable if and when declared by the Board of Directors. The Board will evaluate whether to declare dividends in future quarters at the appropriatetime."
