RENTON, Wash., Nov. 24, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — First Financial Northwest, Inc. (CUSIP 32022K102) (the “Company”) today announced that its Board of Directors has declared a final cash liquidation distribution in the amount of $1.30 per share pursuant to its previously announced Plan of Dissolution. The final cash liquidation distribution will be payable on December 12, 2025, to shareholders of record as of April 23, 2025, which was the record date set for the initial and all subsequent cash liquidation distributions.

The Company previously declared an initial cash liquidation distribution of $22.00 per share payable on April 30, 2025. Including the final cash liquidation distribution to be paid on December 12, 2025, the Company will have paid a total of $23.30 per share, or approximately $215 million, in accordance with its Plan of Dissolution. These distributions to the shareholders pursuant to this Plan of Dissolution represent all payments to be made to shareholders under the Plan.

As a condition to receiving payment of the cash liquidation distributions, shareholders holding physical stock certificates are required to convert their stock certificates to book-entry accounts. The Company has retained Georgeson LLC, an affiliate of the Company’s stock transfer agent, Computershare, to assist in locating shareholders who have not responded to previous communications. Shareholders may contact Georgeson with questions about their shares or cash liquidation distributions:

Shareholders who hold shares in book entry accounts at Computershare will receive mailed checks or direct deposits in the amount of their cash liquidation distribution.

The cash liquidation distributions to Company shareholders will be reported on Form 1099-DIV for tax year 2025.

The gain or loss generally will be capital gain or loss, and long-term capital gain or loss if the U.S. holder’s holding period with respect to Company common stock exceeds one year. Long-term capital gains of non-corporate U.S. holders generally are subject to U.S. federal income tax at preferential rates. The deductibility of capital losses is subject to limitations.
