The variance in the current year linked quarter expense reflects certain one-time costs incurred in the second quarter of 2017, and the year over year variance is primarily due to an increased employee headcount associated with the Talmer branch acquisition in the fourth quarter of 2016.
On October 17, 2017, the Company’s Board of Directors declared a cash dividend of $0.01 per share payable on November 6, 2017, to stockholders of record as of October 27, 2017.
