BayCom Corp (NASDAQ: BCML) (“BayCom” or the “Company”), the parent company of United Business Bank, today announced that its Board of Directors (the “Board”) approved its sixth stock repurchase program for the repurchase of up to 645,000 shares of its common stock, or approximately 5% of its outstanding shares, over a one year period through open market purchases, privately-negotiated transactions, or otherwise in compliance with Rule 10b-18 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. The new stock repurchase program will commence upon completion of the fifth stock repurchase program. To date, the Company has repurchased all of the 747,000 shares of Company common stock authorized for repurchase pursuant to the fifth stock repurchase program.

“We are pleased to announce our sixth stock repurchase program which reflects our commitment, along with our regular quarterly dividends, to return value to our shareholders while managing our capital in a manner which we believe will allow us to invest in internal and external opportunities to further drive long-term growth,” said George Guarini, President and Chief Executive Officer.

Repurchases are expected to commence immediately. The actual timing, number and value of shares repurchased under the stock repurchase program will depend on a number of factors, including constraints specified in any Rule 10b5-1 trading plan adopted, price, general business and market conditions, and alternative investment opportunities. The share buyback program does not obligate the Company to acquire any specific number of shares in any period, and may be expanded, extended, modified or discontinued at any time.
