Item 8.01  Other Events

On December 21, 2015, Provident Financial Holdings, Inc. (“Corporation”) announced that Provident Savings Bank, F.S.B. (“Bank”), the wholly-owned subsidiary of the Corporation has filed a notification with the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (“OCC”) that the Bank intends to close its Iris Plaza Branch located at 16110 Perris Boulevard, Suite K, Moreno Valley, California 92551 on or about March 31, 2016.  The Bank will transfer all customer relationships to its Moreno Valley Heacock Branch located at 12460 Heacock Street, Moreno Valley, California 92553 which is approximately 4.8 miles from the Iris Plaza Branch.  

At this time, the Bank does not anticipate a material change to ongoing premises and occupancy expenses (subsequent to the branch closure) although an immaterial amount of cost savings will be realized as a result of the non-renewal of the expiring lease agreement for the Iris Plaza Branch site.  Current personnel of the Iris Plaza Branch will be reassigned to other branches of the Bank.  Given Iris Plaza’s proximity to the Moreno Valley Heacock Branch the Bank does not anticipate significant customer disruption.  The closure is subject to customary conditions and contingencies including the non-objection of the OCC, among others.
