  • The Bank of N.T. Butterfield & Son Limited
    The Bank of N.T. Butterfield & Son Limited Butterfield is a diversified financial services company operating in nine jurisdictions. We have total assets of $9.6 billion and $60.7 billion of client assets under administration. We employ 1,606 people around the world. Butterfield is a publicly traded company with a primary share listing on the Bermuda Stock Exchange and a secondary listing on the Cayman Islands Stock Exchange. CHAIRMAN’S LETTER TO THE SHAREHOLDERS Butterfield is in the midst of the most important transition in its 152-year history. Over the past two years, we have realised significant losses on investments and felt the negative impact of the global financial crisis on our revenues. At year-end 2009, the Board decided that it was in the best interests of our shareholders for the Bank to take proactive steps to substantially de-risk the Balance Sheet. This action ended a protracted period of ongoing losses and the adverse effects this had on our share price and reputation in the market. Concurrently with this decision, the Board sought and secured new sources of capital to help offset the impact of the losses. Unfortunately, this capital raise was highly dilutive to shareholders. My objective with this letter is to provide a summary of the circumstances that led the Board to its decision, along with more details of the capital raising transaction. Prior to taking the actions we did, your Board considered several alternatives for increasing capital, and although we are aware that many shareholders are disappointed with our decision, we are confident that it was the best alternative for preserving the long-term value of the Butterfield franchise.

  • Butterfield Announces Covid-19 Customer Relief Initiatives
    Butterfield Bank (Cayman) Limited 12 Albert Panton Street George Town, Grand Cayman Tel: (345) 949 7055 www.butterfieldgroup.com BUTTERFIELD ANNOUNCES COVID-19 CUSTOMER RELIEF INITIATIVES George Town, Grand Cayman—18 March 2020: In addition to lower personal lending and mortgage rates which will become effective on 23 March, Butterfield today announced measures to provide customers in the Cayman Islands with temporary assistance from financial difficulties caused by the COVID-19 health crisis. Butterfield will introduce a three-month automatic payment deferral programme on all residential mortgages and personal loans in good standing, meaning customers will not be making principal and interest payments for the next three months and any penalties will be waived. This will assist customers who may be facing lower incomes or cash inflow at this time. The Bank will also introduce a payment deferral on credit cards for two months beginning in May, meaning customers can skip May and June monthly payments without incurring any late fees. In addition, business customers with remaining loan principal of up to $2 million who are facing difficulties can pay interest only on their next three monthly loan payments with no penalties. Business and corporate clients with loan values greater than $2 million who wish to discuss credit and payment arrangements should contact their relationship managers, as these arrangements are typically more complex. Mike McWatt, Butterfield’s Managing Director - Cayman, said “The impact of the COVID-19 crisis on tourism and hospitality, and its knock-on effect on employment has been sudden and significant. We understand that the situation will make it difficult for some of our customers to service their outstanding debts.
