Riverview Bancorp, Inc. Announces $4.0 Million Stock Repurchase Program

VANCOUVER, Wash., Jan. 28, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Riverview Bancorp, Inc. (Nasdaq GSM: RVSB) (“Riverview” or the “Company”) headquartered in Vancouver, WA, the holding company parent of Riverview Bank, announced that on January 22, 2026, its Board of Directors adopted a stock repurchase program.

Under this repurchase program, the Company may repurchase up to $4.0 million of the Company’s outstanding shares of common stock, in the open market, based on prevailing market prices, or in privately negotiated transactions. Once the repurchase program is effective, the repurchase program will continue until the earlier of the completion of the repurchase or 12 months after the effective date, depending upon market conditions.

“Enhancing shareholder value remains a top priority for Riverview. Doubling the size of the common stock repurchase reflects our disciplined approach to deploying excess capital. We continue to evaluate strategies that strengthen shareholder value and we believe this expanded repurchase opportunity represents a prudent and effective use of capital,” said Nicole Sherman, President and Chief Executive Officer.

The Board of Directors of the Company also authorized management to enter into a trading plan with Keefe, Bruyette & Woods, Inc. in accordance with Rule 10b5-1 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, to facilitate repurchases of its common stock as part of the stock repurchase program (the “Rule 10b5-1 plan”). The Rule 10b5-1 plan would allow the Company to execute trades during periods when it might otherwise not be permitted to do so because it may be in possession of material non-public information, because of insider trading laws or Company-imposed trading blackout periods. Under the Rule 10b5-1 plan, Keefe, Bruyette & Woods, Inc. would have the authority, subject to the terms and limitations set forth in the Rule 10b5-1 plan, to repurchase shares on the Company’s behalf. There is no guarantee as to the number of shares that the Company may ultimately repurchase. The Company may suspend or discontinue the repurchase program at any time.
