Material Changes and Management Commentary
Management states that the P&A Transaction does not constitute the disposition of a business. The primary purpose of this filing is to provide pro forma financial information giving effect to both the bank asset sale and the share repurchase tender offer.
Investor Verification Checklist

- Verify the final price per share and total number of shares tendered once the modified Dutch auction concludes.
- Confirm the exact composition of assets and liabilities transferred to BofI Federal Bank to assess the impact on future balance sheet liquidity.
- Monitor subsequent filings for the final results of the tender offer and any adjustments to capital structure.
