Magyar Bancorp, Inc. Announces Expected Closing Date Of Conversion And Offering Results

NEW BRUNSWICK, N.J., July 12, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Magyar Bancorp, Inc. (NASDAQ: MGYR) (the 'Company'), parent company of Magyar Bank, announced today that all regulatory approvals have been received to close the conversion of Magyar Bancorp, MHC (the 'MHC') from the mutual holding company to the stock holding company form of organization and the Company's related stock offering. The Company anticipates closing the transaction at the close of business on Wednesday, July 14, 2021.

The offering is expected to be completed at the maximum of the offering range, resulting in the sale of 3,910,000 shares of Company common stock at $10.00 per share. The offering was oversubscribed by orders of eligible depositors of Magyar Bank as of December 31, 2019 and as a result subscribers in the offering will be allocated shares for which they subscribed pursuant to the procedures as described in the prospectus. Magyar Bank's employee stock ownership plan was unable to purchase shares in the offering and, as disclosed in the prospectus, it is expected to purchase up to 8% of the shares that were sold in the offering in the open market once the offering and conversion have closed.

The shares of the Company's common stock currently trade on the Nasdaq Global Market under the symbol 'MGYR' and will continue to trade on the Nasdaq Global Market under the symbol 'MGYR' following the closing of the conversion and offering.

Purchasers may confirm their allocations online at https://allocations.kbw.com or by contacting the Stock Information Center at (877) 643-8217 between 10:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m., Eastern time, Monday through Friday, except on bank holidays.

The Company's transfer agent, American Stock Transfer & Trust Company, LLC ('AST'), expects to mail Direct Registration System ('DRS') Book-Entry statements for shares purchased in the subscription offering and refund and interest checks on or about July 14, 2021.

As part of the conversion transaction, each existing share of common stock of the Company owned as of the closing date by the Company's public stockholders (stockholders other than the MHC) will be converted into new shares of the Company at an exchange ratio expected to be equal to 1.2213 shares of Company common stock for each share of Company common stock. Cash will be issued in lieu of a fractional share based on the offering price of $10.00 per share. Approximately 7,098,070 shares of the Company's common stock are expected to be outstanding after the completion of the conversion and offering, before accounting for adjustments for fractional shares.

Company stockholders holding their shares in street name will receive their shares of Company common stock within their accounts automatically. Stockholders holding shares in certificated form will be mailed a letter of transmittal as soon as practicable after July 14, 2021, containing instructions as to how to exchange their shares. Stockholders will receive a DRS statement and cash in lieu of fractional shares after returning their Company stock certificates and a properly completed letter of transmittal to AST.
