Item 8.01. Other Events.
On October 16, 2018, the Board of Directors of BankFinancial Corporation (the "Company") increased the total number of shares authorized for repurchase by 180,000 shares. The Company is increasing the amount of shares authorized for repurchase as part of its continued efforts to further improve total shareholder return. Pursuant to the share repurchase authorization, there are 355,658 shares of common stock authorized for repurchase through April 30, 2019.
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 without regard to the timing and amount of the distribution of shares related to the termination of the BankFinancial National Association Employee Stock Ownership Plan. 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.
