INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. — The board of directors of Eli Lilly and Company (NYSE: LLY) on Monday, June 22nd, declared a dividend for the third quarter of 2009 of $0.49 a share on outstanding common stock. This is the same dividend as was paid in the first and second quarters and maintains the annual indicated dividend rate for 2009 of $1.96 per share.

The dividend is payable September 10, 2009, to shareholders of record at the close of business on August 15, 2009.

LAFAYETTE, Ind. – LSB Financial Corp. (Nasdaq: LSBI), the parent company of Lafayette Savings Bank, FSB, today reported quarterly earnings of $302,000 or $0.20 diluted earnings per share compared to $515,000 or $0.33 diluted earnings per share a year earlier. The decrease in net income was primarily due to an increase in the provision for loan losses of $319,000 to $569,000 compared to $250,000 for the prior year. The loan loss reserve now stands at $3.9 million and represents 1.20% of total loans, up from 1.12% at the end of last year.

Randolph F. Williams, president and CEO said, “Given that we are operating in the worst economic environment in nearly 60 years, we are pleased to announce that we remain profitable and are taking steps to further strengthen our company. While the local economy is in better shape than much of the country, it is weaker than in previous years.”

Williams continued, “The fundamentals of the bank are strong with the $156,000 or 6.1% decrease in net interest income more than made up by the $507,000 gain on sale of loans. Residential lending activity is brisk, especially refinancings. We sold over $21.5 million of loans in the secondary market in the first three months compared to $1.8 million in the same period last year. We were able to increase total deposits by $17.1 million or 6.6% since year-end, with core deposits growing 15.5% during that time. People are moving their money to banks and into FDIC-insured deposits, products where they know their initial investment will be safe and will only increase in value.”

The bank continues to maintain a strong capital base with a capital ratio at March 31, 2009 of 8.92% which is in excess of well-capitalized which is defined by the regulators as 5.00%. Williams stated, “While the future direction of the economy is unclear, based on the stress tests we have performed on our loan portfolio, we believe that the combination of our continued profitability, a $3.9 million loan loss reserve and $15.0 million in excess capital should be adequate to allow us to work through the issues presented by this struggling economy.” At quarter end, non-performing assets totaled $12.9 million or 3.36% of total assets, compared to $11.6 million or 3.26%, at the same time last year. The bank is working closely with Freddie Mac on the “Affordability & Stability” program announced by the President in order to provide relief to homeowners who are having difficulty making their mortgage payments.

The Company also announced that it will pay a quarterly cash dividend of $0.125 per share to shareholders of record as of the close of business on May 8, 2009 with a payment date of June 5, 2009.

“We are pleased to be able to provide this dividend to our shareholders representing 64% of quarterly earnings and a yield of 3.6%. While the need to build equity is paramount in these times, we want to reward shareholder loyalty whenever earnings make that possible,” Williams said.

The closing market price of LSB stock on May 8, 2009 was $13.75 per share as reported by the NASDAQ National Market.

LAFAYETTE, Ind. –– Wabash National Corporation (NYSE: WNC) announced today that the Board of Directors voted to suspend the payment of quarterly cash dividends on the Company’s common stock, effective immediately, due to the impact of continued weak economic conditions and the uncertainty regarding the timing of a recovery.

Commenting on this action, Richard J. Giromini, President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company, said, “The suspension of dividend payments on our common stock which will save the company approximately $5.5 million annually is being taken given the extremely challenging economic environment and is consistent with our ongoing actions to reduce costs and enhance liquidity. We are confident that Wabash will emerge in a stronger position when the economy improves but, in the current downturn, the Board believes that focusing the Company’s full resources toward the operational needs of the business is the most prudent course of action.”

As of November 30, 2008, liquidity, cash plus available borrowings under the Company’s revolving credit facility, amounted to approximately $100 million.
