Affinity Bancshares, Inc. (the “Company”), the holding company
for Affinity Bank, today announced that its Board of Directors has
adopted a stock repurchase program. Under the repurchase program,
the Company may repurchase up to 343,632 shares of its common

Repurchases will be made no sooner than the termination of the
Company’s regular trading blackout period, and consistent with the
Company’s trading policies.
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.
Repurchases will be made at management’s discretion at prices
management considers to be attractive and in the best interests of

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.
