ANNOUNCES STOCK REPURCHASE PROGRAM
September 28, 2011, Monessen, PA. FedFirst Financial Corporation (NASDAQ Capital: FFCO) today announced that the Company’s board of directors has approved the repurchase of up to 150,000 shares of the Company’s outstanding common stock, which is approximately 5% of outstanding shares. Purchases will be conducted solely through a Rule 10b5-1 repurchase plan with Stifel, Nicolaus & Company, Incorporated, which plan will become effective following release of earnings for the quarter ended September 30, 2011. Purchases will be based upon the parameters of the Rule 10b5-1 repurchase plan.
The Rule 10b5-1 repurchase plan allows the Company to repurchase its shares during periods when it would normally not be active in the market due to its internal trading blackout period.
