Shares of JSB Financial Inc. will trade under the ticker symbol “JFWV” on OTC Pink, the same ticker symbol used previously by Jefferson Security Bank. Jefferson Security Bank common stock held in a brokerage account or solely in electronic “book entry” form through the Bank’s transfer agent, Computershare, will automatically be converted to shares of JSB Financial Inc. common stock.

Cindy Kitner, President and CEO commented, “We are excited to announce the formation of JSB Financial Inc. The new holding company will serve as a source of strength for Jefferson Security Bank. The holding company structure will also provide several strategic benefits to Jefferson Security Bank, including the ability to borrow money and raise capital to continue the growth of the Bank without diluting shareholders, repurchasing stock from existing shareholders and providing structural flexibility to remain competitive.”
