Other Events.

On March 13, 2020, the Board of Directors of South Plains Financial, Inc. (the “Company”) approved a stock repurchase program (the
“Program”) which authorizes the Company to repurchase from time to time up to $10 million of its outstanding shares, concluding April 15, 2021, subject to certain limitations and conditions. The Program does not obligate the Company to repurchase
any shares of its common stock, and there is no assurance that the Company will do so. A copy of the Company’s press release announcing the Program is attached as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by
reference.
Under the Program, the Company may repurchase shares of common stock from time to time in open market purchases or privately
negotiated transactions. Any open market repurchases will be conducted in accordance with the limitations set forth in Rule 10b-18 promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and other applicable legal
requirements. Repurchases may also be made pursuant to a trading plan under Rule 10b5-1 under the Exchange Act, which would permit shares to be repurchased when the Company might otherwise be precluded from doing so because of self-imposed
trading blackout periods or other regulatory restrictions. The extent to which the Company repurchases its shares, and the timing of such repurchases, will depend upon a variety of factors, including the performance of the Company’s stock price,
general market and economic conditions, regulatory requirements, availability of funds, and other relevant considerations, as determined by the Company. The Company may, in its discretion, begin or terminate repurchases at any time prior to the
Program’s expiration, without any prior notice.
