MOLINE, Ill., May 24, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- QCR Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ: QCRH) today announced that its Board of Directors approved resuming share repurchases under its share repurchase program, which was initially authorized on February 13, 2020. In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Company suspended share repurchases under the repurchase program on March 16, 2020. Under the program, 699,068 shares may still be purchased.

“This share repurchase program reflects the Company’s commitment to enhancing value for our shareholders,” said Larry J.
