This Sixth Amendment is being filed jointly by Stilwell Activist Fund, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership ("Stilwell Activist Fund"); Stilwell Activist Investments, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership ("Stilwell Activist Investments"); Stilwell Value LLC, a Delaware limited liability company ("Stilwell Value LLC") and the general partner of Stilwell Activist Fund and Stilwell Activist Investments; and Joseph Stilwell, the managing member and owner of Stilwell Value LLC (collectively, "we" or "us"). The filers of this statement are collectively referred to herein as the "Group." The joint filing agreement of the members of the Group was filed as Exhibit 1 to the 2023 Schedule 13D.
This statement is filed by Joseph Stilwell with respect to the shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the "Common Stock") of IF Bancorp, Inc. (the "Issuer") previously beneficially owned by Joseph Stilwell, including shares of Common Stock previously held in the names of Stilwell Activist Fund and Stilwell Activist Investments, in Joseph Stilwell's capacities as the managing member and owner of Stilwell Value LLC, which is the general partner of Stilwell Activist Fund and Stilwell Activist Investments. |

Stilwell Value LLC serves as the general partner of Stilwell Activist Fund and Stilwell Activist Investments, and related partnerships. |

| (e) | During the past five years, no member of the Group has been a party to a civil proceeding of a judicial or administrative body of competent jurisdiction and, as a result of such proceeding, was or is subject to a judgment, decree or final order enjoining future violations of, or prohibiting or mandating activities subject to, Federal or State securities laws or finding any violation with respect to such laws, except as indicated in Schedule B, attached hereto and incorporated herein by reference. |

Since we last reported purchases of Common Stock, Stilwell Activist Investments has not expended any monies to acquire shares of Common Stock. | |
| Item 4. | Purpose of Transaction |
We are filing this Sixth Amendment to report that, as a result of the Issuer's announced sale, members of the Group have sold all of their shares of Common Stock pursuant to the merger. We are pleased that the Issuer has chosen to sell itself and are supportive of the merger. We believe this outcome is in the best interests of all shareholders.
Our purpose in acquiring shares of Common Stock of the Issuer was to profit from the appreciation in the market price of the shares of Common Stock through asserting shareholder rights.
We filed the 2023 Schedule 13D reporting our position on September 18, 2023. On May 28, 2024, we submitted a shareholder proposal under Rule 14a-8 calling for the prompt sale of the Issuer. The proposal was approved by stockholders at the Issuer's 2024 annual meeting of stockholders (the "2024 Annual Meeting"). On May 14, 2025, the Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago notified us that it would not object to our request to buy additional shares of the Issuer up to 19.99%. On August 26, 2025, we served our notice of intent to nominate Scott J. Dworschak for election as a director at the Issuer's 2025 annual meeting of stockholders. On September 16, 2025, we entered into a standstill agreement (the "Standstill Agreement") whereby the Issuer agreed, among other things, to appoint Mr. Dworschak to its board of directors. On September 24, 2025, the Issuer appointed Mr. Dworschak to its board. Pursuant to the terms of the Standstill Agreement, the Issuer further agreed that, if, after March 31, 2026, the Issuer failed to substantially implement the matters approved by stockholders at its 2024 Annual Meeting, we would select at our discretion, and the Issuer's board would appoint, an additional nominee to the board.
On October 30, 2025, the Issuer announced its sale to ServBanc Holdco, Inc.
Except as described in this filing, no member of the Group has any plans or proposals which relate to, or could result in, any of the matters referred to in paragraphs (a) through (j), inclusive, of Item 4 of Schedule 13D. Members of the Group may, at any time and from time to time, review or reconsider their positions and formulate plans or proposals with respect thereto.
Since 2000, members or affiliates of the Group have taken an 'activist position' in 78 other publicly-traded companies. In each instance, our purpose has been to profit from the appreciation in the market price of the shares we held by asserting shareholder rights. In addition, we believed that the values of the companies' assets were not adequately reflected in the market prices of their shares.
Our actions with respect to such publicly-traded companies are described in Schedule A, attached hereto and incorporated herein by reference. | |
| Item 5. | Interest in Securities of the Issuer |
| (a) | None of Stilwell Activist Fund, Stilwell Activist Investments, Stilwell Value LLC or Joseph Stilwell beneficially owns any shares of Common Stock. |
| (b) | None of Stilwell Activist Fund, Stilwell Activist Investments, Stilwell Value LLC or Joseph Stilwell beneficially owns any shares of Common Stock. |
| (c) | Since the filing of the Fifth Amendment, each of Stilwell Activist Fund and Stilwell Activist Investments sold shares of Common Stock pursuant to the merger as set forth in Schedule C, attached hereto and incorporated herein by reference. Stilwell Value LLC and Joseph Stilwell have not purchased or sold any shares of Common Stock. |
| (d) | No person other than Stilwell Activist Fund, Stilwell Activist Investments, Stilwell Value LLC and Joseph Stilwell is known to have the right to receive, or the power to direct the receipt of dividends from, or proceeds from the sale of, the shares of Common Stock. |
| (e) | As of March 12, 2026, the Group ceased to beneficially own more than 5% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock. |
| Item 6. | Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships With Respect to Securities of the Issuer |
Other than the Joint Filing Agreement filed as Exhibit 1 to the 2023 Schedule 13D, there are no contracts, arrangements, understandings or relationships among the persons named in Item 2 hereof and between such persons and any person with respect to any securities of the Issuer, including but not limited to transfer or voting of any of the securities, finders' fees, joint ventures, loan or option arrangements, puts or calls, guarantees of profits, divisions of profits or losses, or the giving or withholding of proxies, except for sharing of profits.
See Items 1 and 2 above regarding disclosure of the relationships between members of the Group, which disclosure is incorporated herein by reference. | |
