ATLANTA, April 23, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — MetroCity Bankshares, Inc. (the “Company”) (NASDAQ: MCBS), the holding company for Metro City Bank, announced today that its board of directors has adopted a share repurchase program for the 2021 calendar year. Under the repurchase program, the Company may repurchase up to 1,000,000 shares of its current outstanding shares of common stock.

Repurchases may be made at management’s discretion at prices management considers to be attractive and in the best interests of both the Company and its shareholders, subject to the availability of stock, general market conditions, the trading price of the stock, alternative uses for capital, and the Company’s financial performance.

These factors may also affect the timing and amount of share repurchases. The repurchase program does not obligate the Company to purchase any particular number of shares.
