Item 7.01 Regulation FD Disclosure
On March 26, 2009, in an article in the American Banker, James Barlow, the new President and Chief Operating Officer of Home Federal Savings and Loan Association (“Home Federal”), the wholly owned subsidiary of Home Federal Bancorp, Inc. of Louisiana (the “Company”), outlined various aspects of the strategic direction that Home Federal and the Company are considering or are in the process of implementing. Mr. Barlow indicated that Home Federal is pursuing growth on a number of fronts, including emphasizing the development of a commercial loan portfolio, adding deposit products for commercial customers and considering the expansion of its activities into complimentary lines of business such as the purchase of an insurance agency or brokerage operation. Mr. Barlow indicated the goal of such strategy would be to increase Home Federal’s market share, improve its non-interest income, grow its transactional deposit products, and triple the assets of Home Federal over a three to five year period. Mr. Barlow indicated that on the commercial loan front, Home Federal is pursuing high quality loans in the $500,000 to $5.0 million range. Mr. Barlow also indicated that conducting a second steep conversion is an integral part of Home Federal long-term strategic plan and will be considered when the economic and market conditions are more favorable. The information provided herein is being furnished to the Securities and Exchange Commission and shall not be deemed to be “filed” for any purpose except as shall be expressly set forth by specific reference to this filing in other filings of the Company into which it may be incorporated.
