Business Context and Reporting Period
This Form 8-K reports on events occurring on December 31, 2012, and January 1, 2013, for Kentucky First Federal Bancorp. The filing details the completion of a merger with CKF Bancorp, Inc. and significant changes to the company's executive leadership.
Key Financial Metrics and Transaction Details
The filing focuses on the structural completion of an acquisition rather than standard operating financial metrics for the period. Key transaction figures include:
- Consideration Issued: Approximately 811,289 shares of Company common stock and $5,069,764 in cash were issued to CKF Bancorp shareholders.
- Exchange Ratio: 1.1743 shares of Company common stock for each share of CKF Bancorp common stock (subject to pro-ration for cash elections).
- Cash Election Pro-ration: Due to oversubscription, cash elections were pro-rated such that shareholders received cash for 61.44% of their shares and stock for 38.56%.
- Post-Merger Share Count: Approximately 8,529,278 shares of common stock outstanding.
The filing states that pro forma financial information and financial statements of the business acquired will be filed by amendment within 71 days; therefore, specific revenue, profit, or debt metrics for the combined entity are not provided in this text.

Guidance, Outlook, and Risks
The filing does not contain forward-looking guidance, management commentary on future performance, or specific risk factors beyond the standard disclosure of the merger completion. The primary contingency noted is the pending filing of pro forma financial information and acquired business financial statements, which are required to be submitted via amendment within 71 days of this report.
Investor Verification Checklist
- Verify the final pro forma financial statements and financial statements of the acquired business once filed (expected within 71 days of this report).
- Confirm the exact number of shares issued for fractional share cash payments, as the $5,069,764 cash figure excludes these amounts.
- Review the press release dated January 1, 2013 (Exhibit 99.1) for additional details on the strategic rationale and integration plans.
- Monitor the transition of leadership under the new CEO, Don D. Jennings, and the continued role of Tony Whitaker as Chairman.
