FOR
IMMEDIATE RELEASE
PULASKI
FINANCIAL POSTPONES EARNINGS RELEASE
ST.
LOUIS, April 26, 2010 — Pulaski Financial Corp. (Nasdaq Global Select: PULB)
today announced that it will postpone the release of its financial results for
the quarter ended March 31, 2010 scheduled for April 27, 2010 and its
second quarter earnings conference call scheduled for April 28,
2010. The postponement is occurring as the Company responds to
preliminary findings of its primary federal regulator in the course of their
regular annual examination. The preliminary findings relate
principally to risk classification-related matters on several of Pulaski Bank’s
commercial loans. Management will discuss its views and positions on
these preliminary findings with the examination staff over the next several
weeks as the examination continues.
Subject
to the resolution of the aforementioned matters, the Company expects to announce
its March 31, 2010 quarterly results in conjunction with the filing of its Form
10Q which is due to be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission by May
17, 2010.
