CLARION, Pa.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Clarion County Community Bank (OTC Pink: CCYY) announced today that the Bank has completed its reorganization into a holding company structure effective August 1, 2020. The Bank is now a wholly owned subsidiary of CCCB Bancorp, Inc., a Pennsylvania corporation recently formed by the Bank. The reorganization was approved by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC), the Pennsylvania Department of Banking and Securities and the Federal Reserve Bank of Cleveland.

Pursuant to the reorganization, each existing shareholder of the Bank will receive an equal number of shares of CCCB Bancorp common stock in exchange for his or her Bank common stock. Bank shareholders should begin to receive correspondence from the Bank’s transfer agent, Philadelphia Stock Transfer, in the next few weeks with instructions regarding the procedures for exchanging share certificates.

William E. Hager, III, Chairman of the Board of the Bank and CCCB Bancorp, stated that “The holding company structure has been adopted by many banks because it provides greater flexibility in terms of the formation and acquisition of other financial institutions, as well as new business lines. In addition, transactions such as repurchasing outstanding stock, borrowing funds through the issuance of subordinated debt and otherwise, purchasing subordinated debt instruments and other securities, and other corporate matters will all be made easier through the holding company structure.” James L. Kifer, President and CEO of the Bank and CCCB Bancorp, added, “Although the Bank presently does not have any definitive expansion plans, having the holding company structure in place will facilitate the Bank's ability to capitalize on opportunities as they develop.”
