ITEM 5.04 TEMPORARY SUSPENSION OF TRADING UNDER REGISTRANT’S EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS.
On January 8, 2010, HF Financial Corp. (the “Company”) sent a notice to its directors and executive officers informing them of a proposed blackout period (the “Blackout Period”) under the Company’s Retirement Savings Plan (the “Plan” or the “401(k) Plan”). The notice advises the Company’s directors and executive officers of the applicable trading restrictions that apply to them under Section 306 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and the Securities and Exchange Commission’s Regulation BTR. During the Blackout Period, the Company’s directors and executive officers will be prohibited from engaging in certain transactions involving the Company’s equity securities. A copy of the notice is attached as Exhibit 99 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated by reference herein.
The Blackout Period is required in order to effect a transition of the administration of the Plan to a new service provider. It is expected to begin on February 8, 2010 and to end during the week of March 12, 2010. During the Blackout Period, participants in the Plan will temporarily be unable to undertake certain transactions, including making changes to existing investment elections, obtaining a loan from the Plan or obtaining a distribution from the Plan.
During the Blackout Period and for a period of two years following the ending date of the Blackout Period, security holders or other interested persons may obtain, without charge, information about the actual beginning and ending dates of the Blackout Period by contacting the Corporate Secretary, HF Financial Corp., 225 South Main Avenue, Sioux Falls, SD 57104, or at (605) 333-7556, to whom all inquiries regarding the Blackout Period should be directed.
