Item 7.01 Regulation FD Disclosure.
On May 1, 2006, R&G Financial Corporation (the “Company”) announced by press release that it has received regulatory permission from the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation and Commissioner of Financial Institutions of the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, to make dividend payments in May and June of this year.
As previously announced, the Company is in the process of preparing restated consolidated financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2002 through 2004. The Company also announced in the press release that it expects to file those consolidated financial statements in the summer of 2006 and thereafter, will work diligently to file its 2005 and 2006 public reports. Because the Company will not have audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2005 for its regularly scheduled annual meeting of shareholders, it is postponing the holding of such meeting until the Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2005 is filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
The information furnished pursuant to this Item 7.01 of this Current Report on Form 8-K, including Exhibit 99.1, shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, nor shall it be incorporated by reference into any of the Company’s filings under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, unless otherwise expressly stated in such filing.
Item 9.01 Financial Statements And Exhibits.
