RIVERSIDE, Calif., Oct. 26, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Provident Savings Bank, F.S.B. (“Provident Bank, Provident, or Bank”), the subsidiary of Provident Financial Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ GS: PROV), proudly celebrated its 70th anniversary on October 1, 2026, marking seven decades of serving individuals, families, businesses, nonprofits and communities throughout the Inland Empire. The milestone was commemorated with directors, officers, employees, members of the local community and distinguished guests, bringing together those who have helped shape the Bank’s history and those who will carry its legacy forward.

Since opening its doors in 1956, Provident Bank has built its reputation on outstanding service, trusted relationships and a deep commitment to the communities it serves. Over the past 70 years, the Bank has grown alongside the region, helping clients achieve their financial goals while supporting the people, businesses, organizations and communities that make the Inland Empire a special place to live and work.

“We are honored to celebrate 70 years of Provident Bank,” said Donavon P. Ternes, President and Chief Executive Officer. “This milestone is a reflection of the trust our clients have placed in us, the dedication of our directors, officers and employees, and the strong relationships we have built over generations. We are grateful for the opportunity to serve them and to continue building on the foundation established 70 years ago,” added Ternes.

One of the most meaningful aspects of Provident Bank’s 70-year history is the loyalty and dedication of its employees. Some personnel have been with the Bank for more than 49 years and nearly 30 percent of its employees have been employed for 10 years or more, representing an extraordinary commitment to their colleagues, clients and community. Their decades of service reflect the strong relationships, continuity and personal connections that distinguish community banking.

These longstanding employees embody the values that have guided Provident Bank since its founding: knowing clients by name, understanding their financial needs and building relationships that last for generations. Their contributions, alongside those of employees throughout the organization, have helped preserve the Bank’s community-focused culture while allowing it to evolve with the changing needs of its clients.

Provident Bank’s commitment to the Inland Empire extends well beyond its banking services. Through monetary donations, charitable partnerships, employee volunteerism and community engagement, the Bank actively invests in organizations and initiatives that strengthen local neighborhoods and improve the lives of residents. The Bank has established two primary ways of supporting a wide range of local nonprofit organizations, schools, service groups and community-based initiatives through their Community Partnership Program and the Provident Savings Bank Charitable Foundation. Since the inception of both programs in 2006, Provident Bank has contributed more than $1.8 million to local nonprofits. Directors, officers, and employees also give their time and talents to support local causes, demonstrating that meaningful community impact comes not only from financial contributions but also from showing up and making a difference, and have recorded nearly 6,200 employee volunteer hours in the past five years. As Provident celebrates 70 years, its commitment to giving back remains an essential part of its identity and a promise to continue investing in the future of the Inland Empire.

Provident Bank’s 70th anniversary year has also been marked by significant industry recognition, reflecting its commitment to clients, employees and sound banking practices. In 2026, Provident Bank was named one of America’s Best Regional Banks by Newsweek, recognizing financial institutions that help support local economies and the communities they serve. The Bank was also named one of America’s Greatest Mid-Market Companies for 2026 by Newsweek, both honors were awarded in collaboration with Plant-A Insights Group. The recognition highlights publicly traded mid-market companies demonstrating strength across business performance, workforce experience, innovation and sustainability.

Additionally, Provident Bank has earned a Five-Star Rating from BauerFinancial, an independent bank research firm that evaluates the financial strength and stability of financial institutions. BauerFinancial’s highest rating designation recognizes Provident as a superior financial institution and reinforces the Bank’s ongoing commitment to financial strength and stability.

These honors are a testament to the dedication of Provident Bank’s team of professionals and the trust of its clients, whose relationships have been key to the Bank’s success.

As Provident Bank reflects on its 70-year history, it does so with gratitude for the clients, employees, and community partners who have been part of its journey. While the banking industry continues to evolve, Provident remains focused on the principles that have guided it since 1956: outstanding service, lasting relationships, responsible banking and meaningful community involvement.

The anniversary is both a celebration of the Bank’s accomplishments and a renewed commitment to the future—continuing to serve local families and businesses, supporting community organizations and building relationships that will endure for generations to come.

State’s largest single-day food drive has provided over 5.8 million meals since 1993

RALEIGH, N.C., Oct. 26, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Smithfield Foods Hunger Relief Day at the State Fair again brought thousands of fairgoers together to help combat rising food insecurity across North Carolina. And through their generosity, this year’s drive raised an incredible 170,000 meals for local families facing hunger.

Now in its 33^rd year, Smithfield Foods Hunger Relief Day is one of the most long-standing State Fair traditions, growing to become the largest single-day food drive in North Carolina. With support from Smithfield Foods, fairgoers from across the state donate six non-perishable food items in exchange for free admission. And at a time when more than 1.7 million people statewide — one in seven of our neighbors — don’t know where their next meal might come from, the generosity shown in this year’s effort takes on even greater importance.

“We’re deeply grateful to Smithfield Foods and everyone who attended the State Fair in support of neighbors facing hunger across North Carolina,” said Food Bank President & CEO Amy Beros. “At a time when so many more families are struggling with the rising cost of living, events like these remind us what’s possible when our community comes together.”

Since 1993, fairgoers have donated enough food to provide more than 5.8 million meals for families working to keep food on the table — supplying hundreds of local hunger relief organizations with  the most in-demand items like shelf-stable protein, peanut butter, pasta and soup. As so many of us feel the pressure of rising costs and federal budget cuts, large-scale food drives like Smithfield Foods Hunger Relief Day are a lifeline that restocks pantry shelves.

“The generosity shown by fairgoers this year reflects the spirit of neighbors helping neighbors that makes Smithfield Foods Hunger Relief Day so special,” said Jim Monroe, vice president of corporate affairs for Smithfield Foods. “As we celebrate the sixth year of our partnership with the N.C. State Fair and Food Bank, we remain committed to fighting food insecurity and helping more North Carolina families put food on the table.”

The Food Bank’s continued partnership with Smithfield Foods has made millions of meals available to local families. Thanks to their support and the generosity of thousands of fairgoers, much-needed relief is coming for children, seniors and adults facing hunger.

Since 2008, Smithfield has donated more than 345 million servings of protein to fight hunger and address food insecurity through the company’s Helping Hungry Homes^® program.

For anyone in a position to give, it’s not too late to make a difference on Hunger Relief Day. Visit FoodBankCENC.org/fair to join the fight to end hunger!

TORONTO, Oct. 26, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Today, Loblaw released the latest edition of its Food Inflation Report, following Statistics Canada’s release of September CPI data last week.

September brought welcome news for grocery shoppers. While overall headline inflation climbed to 3.1%, driven by higher gasoline prices, food inflation slowed to 1.7% year over year, down from 2.8% in August. While grocery inflation is easing, Canadians continue to face affordability challenges, with food prices remaining significantly higher than five years ago.

This month’s report examines emerging pressures across the food supply chain, including rising freight costs, commodity volatility and new tariffs. It also highlights the growing size of supplier cost increase requests and Loblaw’s efforts to challenge unjustified increases, with the Company having successfully pushed back on hundreds of millions in proposed cost increases so far this year.

The report also explores how seasonality, weather and transportation influence the cost of everyday products, using fresh strawberries as an example of the complex journey from farm to shelf.

For more information, contact pr@loblaw.ca.

Frøya, 26 October 2026 – Reference is made to the Company’s announcements of 1 and 25 October 2026 regarding the waiver agreement with its lenders.

The lenders have agreed to further extend the waiver period until 16:00 CET on Wednesday, 28 October 2026.

The Company remains in dialogue with its lenders and relevant stakeholders regarding its financing position and will provide a further update when appropriate.
