Item 8.01. Other Events

On May 16, 2023, the Board of Directors of Stock Yards Bancorp, Inc. voted to maintain the Company's quarterly cash dividend at $0.29 per common share. The dividend will be paid on July 3, 2023 to stockholders of record as of June 20, 2023.

Additionally, the Company announced that its Board of Directors has approved an extension of the Company’s Stock Repurchase Plan’s (the Plan’s) expiration date to May 22, 2025. First implemented on May 22, 2019, the Plan authorized the repurchase of one million shares. To date, the Company has repurchased approximately 259,000 shares at an average cost of $35.41 per share with approximately 741,000 shares remaining eligible to be repurchased. Stock repurchases are expected to be made from time to time on the open market, through block trades, in privately negotiated transactions, or pursuant to Rule 10b5-1 subject to applicable securities law. The number of shares repurchased and the timing, manner, process and amount of any repurchases will be determined by the Company in its discretion. The Plan, which will expire in two years unless otherwise further extended or completed at an earlier date, does not obligate the Company to repurchase any specific dollar amount or number of shares prior to the Plan’s expiration. The Plan may be modified, suspended or terminated at any time for any reason and without prior notice. The Company cannot assure the exact number of shares to be repurchased prior to the expiration date of the Plan.

Rule 10b5-1 allows a company to repurchase its shares at times when it otherwise might be prevented from doing so under insider trading laws or because of self-imposed trading blackout periods. A broker selected by the Company will have the authority under the terms and limitations specified in the Plan to repurchase shares on the Company’s behalf in accordance with the terms

On May 17, 2023, Stock Yards Bancorp, Inc. issued a press release, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and incorporated by reference, announcing the dividend increase and the extension of the stock repurchase program.
