IF BANCORP, INC.
ADOPTS STOCK REPURCHASE PROGRAM
Watseka, Illinois, September 12, 2012 – IF Bancorp, Inc. (NASDAQ: IROQ) (the “Company”), announced that its Board of Directors has adopted a stock repurchase program. Under the repurchase program, the Company may repurchase up to 240,563 shares of its common stock, or approximately 5% of the current outstanding shares.
The repurchase program permits shares to be repurchased in open market or private transactions, through block trades, and pursuant to any trading plan that may be adopted in accordance with Rule 10b5-1 of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Repurchased shares may be used to fund awards under stock-based incentive plans that may be adopted by the Company in the future.
Repurchases will be made at management’s discretion at prices management considers to be attractive and in the best interests of both the Company and its stockholders, subject to the availability of stock, general market conditions, the trading price of the stock, alternative uses for capital, and the Company’s financial performance. Open market purchases will be conducted in accordance with the limitations set forth in Rule 10b-18 of the Securities and Exchange Commission and other applicable legal requirements.
The repurchase program 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 may also affect the timing and amount of share repurchases. The repurchase program does not obligate the Company to purchase any particular number of shares.

Such forward-looking statements are subject to risk and uncertainties, which could cause actual results to differ materially from those currently anticipated due to a number of factors, which include, but are not limited to, factors discussed in documents filed by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission from time to time.
