Explanatory Note

On July 27, 2019, First Financial Corporation, an Indiana corporation (the “Company”), completed its previously announced merger (the “Merger”) with HopFed Bancorp, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“HopFed”), pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of January 7, 2019, between HopFed and the Company. On July 29, 2019, the Company filed a Current Report on Form 8-K (the “Original Report”) stating that it had completed the Merger and that the financial information required under Items 9.01(a) and 9.01(b) of Form 8-K would be filed by amendment to the Original Report not later than 71 days following the date that the Original Report was required to be filed. Substantially the same financial information as required by Items 9.01(a) and 9.01(b) of Form 8-K was previously reported by the Company in its Registration Statement on Form S-4 (File No. 333-230810), as amended (the “Registration Statement”). Accordingly, the Company is amending the Original Report to note that it is relying on General Instruction B.3 to Form 8-K to omit the financial information required by Items 9.01(a) and 9.01(b) of Form 8-K.

Item 9.01 Financial Statements and Exhibits.

(a) Financial statements of businesses acquired.

In reliance on General Instruction B.3 to Form 8-K, the financial statements of the business acquired have been omitted because the Company previously reported substantially the same information in the Registration Statement.

(b) Pro forma financial information.

In reliance on General Instruction B.3 to Form 8-K, the pro forma financial information has been omitted because the Company previously reported substantially the same information in the Registration Statement.
