AGM Statement
The Board of Secure Trust Bank PLC (the "Bank") announces that shareholders approved all the resolutions proposed at the Annual General Meeting of the Bank held today, Wednesday 9 May 2012.
At the meeting Henry Angest, Chairman made the following statement:
"In the first four months of the year, the Bank has written increasingly high levels of organic new lending. In assessing new business, management adhere to their strict lending criteria and continue to manage customer margins carefully. This new lending is lowering the excess liquidity that was carried over from the year end.
"The new internet banking platform went live on 30th April 2012 and the initial reaction has been positive.
"The Bank is continuing actively to work on a pipeline of significant business development opportunities. As always, management exercises prudent judgement in assessing these opportunities, particularly taking into account the current economic environment."
