Dividends
The table set forth under “Quarterly Common Stock Data” above sets forth the quarterly dividends we have
paid on our common stock from the first quarter of 2003 through and including the third quarter of 2006.
In January 2005, our Board of Directors reduced our quarterly common stock dividend rate by 50%, from
$0.52 per share to $0.26 per share. We reduced our common stock dividend rate in order to increase our
capital surplus, which was a component of our capital restoration plan. See “Item 7—MD&A—Liquidity and
Capital Management—Capital Management—Capital Adequacy Requirements—Capital Restoration Plan and
OFHEO-Directed Minimum Capital Requirement” for a description of our capital restoration plan. On
December 6, 2006, the Board of Directors increased the quarterly common stock dividend to $0.40 per share.
The Board determined that the increased dividend would be effective beginning in the fourth quarter of 2006,
and therefore declared a special common stock dividend of $0.14 per share, payable on December 29, 2006, to
stockholders of record on December 15, 2006. This special dividend of $0.14, combined with our previously
declared dividend of $0.26 paid on November 27, 2006, will result in a total common stock
