Item 8.01. Other Events.
On November 30, 2020, the Board of Directors of Citizens Community Bancorp, Inc. (the “Company”), approved a stock repurchase program. Under this program the Company may repurchase up to 557,728 shares of its common stock, or approximately 5% of the current outstanding shares, from time to time. 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 may be made at management’s discretion at prices management considers to be attractive and in the best interests of both the Company and its stockholders, subject to the availability of stock, general market conditions, the applicable trading price, future alternative advantageous 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.

Item 8.01. Other Events.
On December 4, 2020, the Company intends to file on a Form 8-K an investor deck in connection with management's participation in the Raymond James Emerging Markets Conference to be held on December 7, 2020. This investor deck will contain an updated loan deferral table to reflect a reduction in hotel loans and deferrals expiring in 2021 resulting from $8.4 million in pay downs received by the Company in late November on Wisconsin Dells hotel loans.
