"Despite the challenges we have faced in 2020 brought on by the COVID-19 pandemic, global shutdown, low interest rate environment, a tumultuous energy market and political gridlock, the outlook for Trinity Bank remains positive. We are especially pleased to be announcing an increase in our dividend during a time when many other businesses have been forced maintain, reduce or suspend their dividend payments as a result of these challenges. In spite of the temporary increase in earning assets we have seen as a result of PPP lending activity, Trinity Bank remains well capitalized, with a capital ratio in excess of 11%, and well positioned to take advantage of growth opportunities in the North Texas market."

The Board of Directors will review the dividend policy again in the spring of 2021 when operating results for the second half of 2020 are available.
