HOME FEDERAL BANCORP, INC., ANNOUNCES BRANCH CLOSINGS
Nampa, ID (November 30, 2012) – Home Federal Bancorp, Inc. (“Company”) (Nasdaq GSM: HOME), the parent company of Home Federal Bank (“Bank”), today announced the pending closure of four branches in Oregon. Len E. Williams, the Company’s President and CEO, commented, “In this ever changing economic and regulatory climate, prudent management calls for us to continuously monitor our distribution channels and the costs to deliver banking services. Our decision to consolidate four branches into nearby locations is a direct result of evaluating how we can continue to offer top-quality banking services at competitive rates and prices. With more clients utilizing electronic banking services, it just makes sense to consolidate branches that are near one another. This should have minimal or no impact on our clients and many of our team members affected by the consolidation will have opportunities to apply for other positions within the Bank.” The Company estimates the branch closures will reduce pre-tax income from operations by approximately $539,000 for the quarter and fiscal year ending December 31, 2012, but will reduce expenses by approximately $1.2 million annually thereafter.
The following table lists the branches that will be closed as well as the nearest branch where clients can continue to receive full-service support from Home Federal Bank team members:
