Item 8.01. Other Events.
On July 23, 2021, the Board of Directors of Citizens Community Bancorp, Inc. (the “Company”), approved a stock repurchase program. Under this program the Company may repurchase up to 532 thousand shares of its common stock, or approximately 5% of the current outstanding shares, after the existing repurchase program is completed. The repurchase program permits shares to be repurchased in open market or private transactions, from time to time, through block trades, and pursuant to any trading plan that may be adopted in accordance with Rule 10b5-1 of the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Repurchases may be made at management’s discretion at prices management considers to be attractive and in the best interests of both the Company and its stockholders, subject to the availability of stock, general market conditions, the applicable trading price, future alternative advantageous uses for capital, and the Company’s financial performance. Open market purchases will be conducted in accordance with the limitations set forth in Rule 10b -18 of the Securities and Exchange Commission and other applicable legal requirements.
The repurchase program may be suspended, terminated or modified at any time for any reason, including market conditions, the cost of repurchasing shares, the availability of alternative investment opportunities, liquidity, and other factors deemed appropriate. These factors may also affect the timing and amount of share repurchases. The repurchase program does not obligate the Company to purchase any particular number of shares.
