WAYNE, N.J., Aug 19, 2009 /PRNewswire-FirstCall via COMTEX/ -- VLY | Quote | Chart | News | PowerRating -- Valley National Bancorp (NYSE:VLY) ("Valley"), the holding company for Valley National Bank, announced today that a common stock cash dividend of $0.19 per share will be paid October 1, 2009 to shareholders of record on September 4, 2009. The $0.19 per share dividend is unchanged as compared to the previous quarterly cash dividend.

Gerard H. Lipkin, Chairman, President & CEO of Valley remarked, "We are pleased to be able to continue our quarterly dividend in the same amount. The Board continued the dividend unchanged from the prior quarter based on, in part, our well-capitalized position and our quarterly operating earnings, exclusive of non-cash charges and gains. Consistent with its conservative philosophy, the Board is committed to examining and weighing relevant facts and considerations each time it makes a decision to pay a cash dividend, including, among other things, current earnings, capital levels, the impact of the current economic recession on our performance, potential future decisions to partially or fully repurchase Valley's preferred stock from the Treasury and the Board's commitment to shareholder value. The historical level of dividends paid per share should not be used as an indicator of future levels of dividends to our stockholders."
