General. Our common stock is listed on the NASDAQ Global Select Market under the symbol “BCML.” At December 31, 2024, we had approximately 750 shareholders of record (not including the number of persons or entities holding stock in nominee or street name through various brokerage firms).
On February 20, 2025, the Company announced that its Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.15 per share on the Company's outstanding common stock . The cash dividend will be payable on April 10, 2025 to shareholders of record as of the close of business on March 13, 2025.
BayCom commenced paying dividends in 2022. The Company’s cash dividend payout policy is reviewed regularly by management and the Board of Directors. Any dividends declared and paid in the future would depend upon a number of factors, including capital requirements, our financial condition and results of operations, tax considerations, statutory and regulatory limitations, and general economic conditions. Management’s current projections indicate an expectation that the regular quarterly cash dividends will continue for the foreseeable future. No assurances can be given that any dividends will be paid or that, if paid, will not be reduced or eliminated in future periods. Our future payment of dividends may depend, in part, upon receipt of dividends from the Bank, which are restricted by regulations.
