University Bancorp Pays $3.9M Cash Plus Stock to Take UIF Subsidiary to 100%
UNIB sits 65% above its 52-week low of $12.935 on light trading volume (0.2× avg).
Summary
University Bancorp closed its purchase of the 20% of UIF Corporation it didn't already own, taking its key faith-based banking subsidiary to 100% ownership. The final structure changed from the originally negotiated all-stock swap: UNIB issued 482,054 new shares and paid $3,911,147.50 in cash. It picked up $15,210,129 of minority interest, lifting UNIB shareholders' equity by $11,298,981.70 on a September 30, 2026 pro forma basis, and eliminating the minority interest adds roughly $4 million to University Bank's Tier 1 Capital going forward. The cash component is modest against a company of this size, and the capital uplift is the tangible benefit. This follows the October 22 report of Q3 net income of $4.92M, or $0.95 per share, more than double the prior quarter.
At the time of this announcement, UNIB was trading at $21.35 on OTC in the Finance sector, with a market capitalization of approximately $110.4M. The 52-week trading range was $12.94 to $24.61.
