The Company sold 773,663 shares of common stock at $10.00 per share in the subscription offering for gross proceeds of approximately $7.7 million, including 67,397 shares purchased by the Bank's employee stock ownership plan.

Robert Bedinghaus, the Chairman of the Company, said: "Our Board of Directors and the officers and employees of Cincinnati Federal would like to extend our appreciation to our customers for their loyalty and support in completing our reorganization and stock offering. The fact that we were oversubscribed at the customer level we see as a real vote of confidence in our approach to growing the Bank. We look forward to turning our attention towards continuing to serve our community, attaining our strategic goals and delivering value to our new stockholders."
This was a history making transaction in that this was the first mutual holding company reorganization/public stock offering approved by the Federal Reserve Board pursuant to its authority granted under the Dodd-Frank Act.
Mr. Bedinghaus commented, "While it is never easy to plow new ground, we adopted the Mutual Holding Company structure so that we could raise new capital to support the continued growth of our business while at the same time maintaining mutual control. Upon the completion of our reorganization, a majority of our shares will continue to be controlled by our depositor members and we will remain able to partner with other mutual institutions, should favorable opportunities arise."
Luse Gorman, PC, acted as legal counsel to the Company and the Bank. Keefe, Bruyette & Woods, Inc., a Stifel Company, acted as selling agent in the subscription offering and served as financial advisor to the Company and the Bank in connection with the reorganization and stock offering.
