Item 8.01.     Other Events.
On October 27, 2016, the Board of Directors of BankFinancial Corporation (the "Company") extended the expiration date of the Company's current share repurchase authorization from December 31, 2016 to June 30, 2017, and increased the total number of shares authorized for repurchase by 478,789 shares. Pursuant to this extended and increased share repurchase authorization, there are 750,000 shares of common stock authorized for repurchase through June 30, 2017.
The authorization does not obligate the Company to purchase any particular number of shares at any given price per share at any time. The authorization 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, as well as internal restrictions on trading in the Company's shares during specific time periods, may also affect the timing and amount of share repurchases.
