Citizens Community Bancorp Closes Out 2018 Equity Plan Registration

Citizens Community Bancorp, Inc., headquartered at 2174 East Ridge Center, Eau Claire, Wisconsin, filed a Post-Effective Amendment to a previously effective Form S-8 registration statement on October 30, 2026. The amendment addresses the formal closure of the registration covering its 2018 Equity Incentive Plan, according to the filing. The company is incorporated in Maryland and carries IRS Employer Identification No. 20-5120010.

The original Registration Statement (No. 333-224042), filed with the SEC on March 30, 2018, registered 350,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, for issuance under the 2018 Equity Incentive Plan. The filing states that, following stockholder approval on June 16, 2026 of the Citizens Community Bancorp, Inc. 2026 Omnibus Incentive Plan, "the only shares available for future grants will be those reserved for issuance thereunder, as any shares available for future grant under the 2018 Plan would be cancelled upon approval of the 2026 Plan."

As a result, the company determined that the offering under the original Registration Statement had been terminated. In accordance with undertakings contained in that Registration Statement, the company is removing from registration, by means of this post-effective amendment, "any and all securities registered but unsold at the termination of such offering." The amendment was signed by James S. Broucek, Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer, on behalf of the registrant.
