Item 8.01 Other Events
Provident Financial Holdings, Inc. ("Corporation") announced that Provident Savings Bank, F.S.B. ("Bank"), the wholly-owned subsidiary of the Corporation will close its La Quinta Branch located at 78752 Highway 111, La Quinta, California 92253. The closure will become effective at the close of business on May 10, 2019. Effective May 11, 2019, all customer relationships will be transferred to its Rancho Mirage Branch located at 71991 Highway 111, Rancho Mirage, California 92270, which is approximately 7.6 miles from the La Quinta Branch.
The Bank anticipates an annual operational cost savings of approximately $473,000, primarily in salaries and employee benefits expenses and premises and occupancy expenses (subsequent to the branch closure). Current personnel of the La Quinta Branch will be reassigned to the Rancho Mirage Branch to fill open positions. Total one-time charges for the branch closure will be approximately $18,000. Given La Quinta's proximity to the Rancho Mirage Branch and the familiar team that will continue to serve our customers, the Bank does not anticipate significant customer disruption.
