On August 26, 2009, the PL Capital Group entered into a Standstill Agreement (the “Agreement”) with HF Financial, a copy of which was attached as Exhibit 2 to Amendment No. 1 to the Schedule 13D.  The Agreement was entered into after HF Financial’s board of directors decided to adopt a majority voting policy, and the Agreement has now expired.

Members of the PL Capital Group may make further purchases of shares of Common Stock.  Members of the PL Capital Group may dispose of any or all the shares of Common Stock held by them.

To the extent the actions described herein may be deemed to constitute a “control purpose” with respect to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the regulations thereunder, the PL Capital Group has such a purpose.  Except as noted in this Amended Schedule 13D, no member of the PL Capital Group has any plans or proposals, which relate to, or would result in, any of the matters referred to in paragraphs (b) through (j), inclusive of Item (4) of Schedule 13D.  Such individuals may, at any time and from time to time, review or reconsider their positions and formulate plans or proposals with respect thereto.
