Shore Bancshares raised its quarterly dividend 17% to 14 cents a share from 12 cents.

The two cent increase will be payable June 17 to shareholders of record as of June 3.

The new payout, equal to 56 cents per year, represents an annual yield of 2.8% based on Thursday's closing price of $19.95.

Shore also said its board approved a buyback of up to $30 million over the next 12 months.

Chief Executive James Burke said the dividend increase and share buyback authorization reflect the bank holding company's strong capital position and earnings power.
