Orange County Bancorp, Inc. Adjusts Stock Split Record Date

In a rare move that demonstrates respect and honor for the late former President Jimmy Carter, Orange County Bancorp, Inc. has made a significant adjustment to the record date of its upcoming two-for-one forward stock split. The parent company of Orange Bank & Trust Co. and Hudson Valley Investment Advisors, Inc. announced that the record date for the stock split will now be Wednesday, January 8, 2025.

Impact on Shareholders

Shareholders who are recorded as holders of common stock on January 8, 2025, will each receive an additional share of common stock after the market closes on Friday, January 10, 2025. This adjustment is due to U.S. equity markets closing on January 9, 2025, to observe a National Day of Mourning for former President Jimmy Carter’s passing.

Stock Split Details

The stock split will be executed through an amendment to Orange County Bancorp’s Certificate of Incorporation and will lead to a proportional increase in the number of authorized common shares from approximately 5.7 million shares to 11.4 million shares post-split. Additionally, the par value per share will decrease from $0.50 to $0.25.
