On April 27, 2023, the Board of Directors of BankFinancial Corporation (the "Company") extended the expiration date of the Company's share repurchase authorization from July 15, 2023 to January 15, 2024. As of April 27, 2023, a total of 215,508 shares remained authorized for purchase pursuant to the previous share repurchase authorization.

The authorization does not obligate the Company to purchase any particular number of shares at any given price per share at any time. The authorization may be suspended, terminated or modified at any time for any reason, including market conditions, the cost of repurchasing shares, the availability of alternative investment opportunities, liquidity, and other factors deemed appropriate. These factors, as well as internal restrictions on trading in the Company's shares during specific time periods, may also affect the timing and amount of share repurchases. This release includes “forward-looking statements” as defined in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Such statements may be identified by words such as “believes,” “will,” “expects,” “project,” “may,” “could,” “anticipate,” “estimates,” “intends,” “plans,” and similar expressions. A variety of factors could cause the Company’s actual results to differ from those expected at the time of this release. For a discussion of some of the factors that may cause actual results to differ from expectations, please refer to the Company’s most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K as filed with the SEC, as supplemented by subsequent filings with the SEC. Investors are urged to review all information contained in these reports, including the risk factors discussed therein. Forward looking statements speak only as of the date they are made, and the Company does not undertake to update them to reflect changes.
