Published

1 year ago

on

MCLEAN, Va., Dec. 19, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Primis Financial Corp. (NASDAQ: FRST) (“Primis” or the “Company”), today announced that the board of directors of the Company (the “Board”) approved a stock repurchase program for up to 740,600 of the outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock (the “Stock Repurchase Program”). The Stock Repurchase Program will begin on December 19, 2024 and conclude on December 19, 2025, subject to the earlier termination or extension of the Stock Repurchase Program by the Board or the total shares designated for the Stock Repurchase Program are depleted. 

Under the Stock Repurchase Program, the Company may repurchase shares of common stock from time to time in open market purchases or privately negotiated transactions. Any open market repurchases will be conducted in accordance with the limitations set forth in Rule 10b-18 promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and other applicable legal requirements. Repurchases under the Stock Repurchase Program may also be made pursuant to a trading plan under Rule 10b5-1 under the Exchange Act, which would permit shares to be repurchased by the Company when the Company might otherwise be precluded from doing so because of self-imposed trading blackout periods or other regulatory restrictions. The extent to which the Company repurchases its shares, and the timing of such repurchases, will depend upon a variety of factors, including the performance of the Company’s stock price, general market and economic conditions, regulatory requirements, availability of funds, and other relevant considerations, as determined by the Company. The Company may, in its discretion, begin or terminate repurchases at any time prior to the Stock Repurchase Program’s expiration, without any prior notice. The Stock Repurchase Program does not obligate the Company to repurchase any particular number or amount of shares of common stock.

The Company also announced today that, as expected, it received a decision (“Compliance Decision”) from the Nasdaq Hearings Panel (the “Panel”) granting the Company’s request for continued listing on the Nasdaq Capital Market, and confirming that the Company has regained compliance with Listing Rule 5250(c)(1) as of December 11, 2024. Pursuant to Listing Rule 5815(d)(4)(B), the Company will be subject to a Mandatory Panel Monitor for a period of one year from the date of the Compliance Decision.
