ABILENE, Texas, July 31, 2023 – First Financial Bankshares, Inc. (NASDAQ: FFIN) (the "Company", "we", "us", or "our") announced today the renewal of its existing stock repurchase plan. Pursuant to the renewed plan, the Company may repurchase up to 5,000,000 shares of its common stock, which represents approximately 3.5 percent of the Company’s outstanding shares as of July 25, 2023, through July 31, 2024. The Board of Directors previously authorized the repurchase of up to 5,000,000 shares of common stock through July 31, 2023.

The stock repurchase plan authorizes management to repurchase shares at such time and price as repurchases are considered beneficial to the Company and its stockholders.

Under the repurchase plan, there is no minimum number of shares that the Company is required to repurchase.
