GRAND ISLAND, Neb. - Central Plains Bancshares, Inc. (NASDAQ:CPBI), the parent company of Home Federal Bank, has announced the initiation of a stock repurchase program. The program authorizes the repurchase of up to 200,000 shares, which is approximately 5.0% of the company's current outstanding common stock.

The repurchase of shares will commence following the end of the company's regular trading blackout period and will align with its trading policies. The company has the option to buy back shares through various methods, including open market or private transactions, block trades, and potentially under a Rule 10b5-1 trading plan, in compliance with the Securities and Exchange Commission regulations.

Management will conduct repurchases based on its discretion, considering factors such as stock availability, market conditions, the trading price of the stock, alternative capital uses, and the company's financial performance. All open market transactions will adhere to the limitations of Rule 10b-18 of the Securities and Exchange Commission, among other legal requirements.

The repurchase program is not a commitment to buy any specific number of shares and may be adjusted, paused, or terminated at any time due to various factors, including market conditions, the cost of repurchasing shares, availability of alternative investments, liquidity, and other considerations deemed relevant by the company.

Home Federal Bank, operated by Home Federal Savings and Loan Association of Grand Island, was initially chartered in 1935 and is headquartered in Grand Island, Nebraska. The bank serves its customers from its main office, six branch offices, a drive-up facility in Grand Island, and a loan production office in Lincoln, Nebraska.

This announcement includes forward-looking statements, which are subject to risks and uncertainties. Central Plains Bancshares advises readers that a multitude of factors could cause actual results to differ from those projected in any forward-looking statements, and the company does not undertake the obligation to update these statements following the date they were made.
