Richmond Mutual Bancorporation (RMBI) Extends Share Buyback

Richmond Mutual Bancorporation, Inc. (NASDAQ: RMBI) (the "Company"), the parent company of First Bank Richmond, today announced that its Board of Directors (the "Board") extended the Company's current stock repurchase program, scheduled to expire on June 6, 2024, for an additional year, now set to expire on June 6, 2025. As of May 15, 2024, 723,195 shares remained available for future purchase under the existing stock repurchase program. Since the stock repurchase program's inception through May 15, 2024, the Company has repurchased 782,840 shares at an aggregate cost of $8.8 million.

Garry Kleer, the Company's Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer, commented, "The Board's decision to extend our existing stock repurchase program underscores our collective confidence in the future of the Company, particularly considering what we perceive to be an undervaluation of our common stock. Despite the continued turbulence and uncertainty in the banking sector, the Company's financial condition and operations remain solid given our strong liquidity and capital position, our community-based deposit franchise and our high-quality loan and lease portfolio."

The Board also authorized management to enter into a trading plan with Keefe, Bruyette & Woods, Inc. in accordance with Rule 10b5-1 of the Exchange Act, to facilitate repurchases of its common stock pursuant to the above-mentioned stock repurchase program (the "Rule 10b5-1 plan"). The Rule 10b5-1 plan allows the Company to repurchase shares at times when they might otherwise be prevented from doing so by securities laws or because of self-imposed trading blackout periods. Under the Rule 10b5-1 plan, Keefe, Bruyette & Woods, Inc. will have the authority, subject to the prices, terms and limitations set forth in the Rule 10b5-1 plan, including compliance with Rule 10b-18 of the Exchange Act, to repurchase shares on the Company's behalf.

The actual timing, number and value of shares repurchased under the stock repurchase program will depend on a number of factors, including constraints specified in any Rule 10b5-1 plan, price, general business and market conditions, and alternative investment opportunities. The share repurchase program does not obligate the Company to acquire any specific number of shares in any period, and may be expanded, extended, modified or discontinued at any time.
