They cut their dividend recently according to the Portland Business Journal:
Umpqua Bank parent Umpqua Holdings Inc., based in Portland, cut its quarterly dividend in December to 5 cents from prior payments of 19 cents per share.At least we know what they are using the TARP money for: Free ice cream!
