Item 8.01 Other Events.
On September 28, 2017, the members of Seneca Federal Savings and Loan Association (the "Bank") approved the Bank's plan of reorganization from a mutual savings association to a mutual holding company and stock issuance plan.

The number of shares to be sold in connection with the reorganization and stock offering will be based on a final appraisal and receipt of final regulatory approval. Seneca Financial Corp. (the "Company") will provide further information upon receipt of final regulatory approval.

This current report contains certain forward-looking statements about the reorganization and stock offering.  Forward-looking statements include statements regarding anticipated future events and can be identified by the fact that they do not relate strictly to historical or current facts.  They often include words such as "believe," "expect," "anticipate," "estimate," and "intend" or future or conditional verbs such as "will," "would," "should," "could," or "may".  Forward-looking statements, by their nature, are subject to risks and uncertainties.  Certain factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from expected results include delays in consummation of the offering, failure to receive required regulatory approvals, increased competitive pressures, changes in the interest rate environment, general economic conditions or conditions within the securities markets, and legislative and regulatory changes that could adversely affect the business in which the Company and the Bank are engaged.
