ITEM 8.01. Other Event.
Stock Repurchase Program. On July 26, 2022, the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of Sound Financial Bancorp, Inc. (the “Company”) amended its existing stock repurchase program to increase the authorized repurchase amount to $4.0 million effective immediately and to extend the program maturity to January 31, 2023.
The Company extended its existing stock repurchase program in April 2022 with an authorized repurchase amount not to exceed $2.0 million and an expiration date of October 29, 2022. On July 26, 2022, the Board amended its stock repurchase program to increase the authorized repurchase amount to $4.0 million and extend the program maturity to January 31, 2023. Since the program’s inception through July 26, 2022, the Company has repurchased 49,700 shares at an aggregate cost of $1.9 million.
Under the plan, the Company may purchase common stock from time to time in the open market, based on prevailing market prices, or in privately negotiated transactions, or pursuant to any trading plan that may be adopted in accordance with Rule 10b5-1 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). The actual timing, number and value of shares repurchased under the stock repurchase program will depend on a number of factors, including constraints specified in the Rule 10b5-1 plan, price, general business and market conditions, and alternative investment opportunities. The share repurchase program does not obligate the Company to acquire any specific number of shares in any period, and may be expanded, extended, modified or discontinued at any time. Information regarding share repurchases will be available in the Company’s periodic reports on Form 10-Q and Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission as required by the applicable rules of the Exchange Act.
This report contains forward-looking information, as that term is defined under the Exchange Act, including information regarding purchases by the Company of its common stock pursuant to any Rule 10b5-1 trading plans or otherwise. By their nature, forward-looking information and statements are subject to risks, uncertainties, and contingencies, including changes in price and volume and the volatility of the Company’s common stock; adverse developments affecting either or both of prices and trading of exchange-traded securities, including securities listed on the Nasdaq Stock Market; and unexpected or otherwise unplanned or alternative requirements with respect to the capital investments of the Company. The Company does not undertake to update any forward-looking statements or information, including those contained in this report.
