FRESNO, Calif., May 22, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — FFB Bancorp (the “Company”) (OTCQX: FFBB), the parent company of FFB Bank (the “Bank”), today announced that its Board of Directors (the “Board”) has authorized a plan to utilize up to $7.5 million of capital to repurchase shares of the Company’s common stock, which represents approximately 5.4% of total shareholders’ equity at March 31, 2024.
Under the terms of the repurchase plan, the Company may repurchase shares of the Company’s common stock from time to time, through October 25, 2024, in open market purchases or privately negotiated transactions. Repurchases under the plan may also be made pursuant to a trading plan under Securities and Exchange Commission Rule 10b5-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, which would permit shares to be repurchased by the Company when the Company might otherwise be precluded from doing so because of self-imposed trading blackout periods or other regulatory restrictions. The timing, manner, price and exact amount of any repurchases by the Company will be determined at the Company’s discretion and depend on various factors including, the performance of the Company’s stock price, general market and economic conditions, applicable legal and regulatory requirements, availability of funds and other relevant factors.
The Company’s management believes the repurchase plan, depending upon market and business conditions, may, among other things, provide capital management opportunities for the Company. The Company is not obligated to repurchase any such shares under the repurchase plan. Through October 25, 2024, the repurchase plan may be discontinued, suspended or restarted at any time.
