Bankfinancial ( (BFIN) ) just unveiled an update.
At a special meeting of stockholders held on December 18, 2025, BankFinancial Corporation shareholders voted on key items related to the company’s planned merger with First Financial Bancorp. Approximately 74% of the company’s outstanding common shares were represented in person or by proxy. Stockholders overwhelmingly approved the merger agreement, including the merger of BankFinancial Corporation with and into First Financial Bancorp, with more than 9.1 million votes cast in favor and minimal opposition, signaling strong investor support for the transaction and its anticipated strategic benefits. In a separate advisory vote, a substantial majority of shareholders also approved the merger-related compensation that will or may be paid to the company’s named executive officers, indicating broad acceptance of the executive pay arrangements tied to the deal. Because there were already sufficient votes to approve the merger, a proposed contingency measure to adjourn the meeting to solicit additional proxies was not acted upon.
