First Financial Northwest Issues Employee FAQs Regarding Pending Transaction with Global Federal Credit Union

First Financial Northwest, Inc. (NASDAQ:FFNW) recently issued a set of frequently asked questions (Employee FAQs) to employees concerning its impending transaction with Global Federal Credit Union. The FAQs covered various aspects of the deal, including updates on anticipated regulatory approvals, expected consummation timing, and the range of consideration set to be received by Company shareholders.

The company mentioned that while all necessary regulatory approvals from First Financial Northwest Bank’s banking regulators have been secured, Global Federal Credit Union is still in the process of obtaining regulatory approval from its regulator, the National Credit Union Administration (NCUA). The completion of the transaction is expected to occur in the first quarter of 2025, subject to the timing of regulatory approvals.

Regarding the consideration for FFNW shareholders, the previous estimate indicated a range of roughly $23.06 to $23.59 in cash per share. However, due to delays in closing and adjustments to certain estimates, the company now anticipates the consideration to be at the lower end of the initial range. Shareholders were advised not to assume a final per share distribution equal to or higher than $23.06.
