Capitol Federal (NASDAQ: CFFN) amends short-term performance bonus plan

Rhea-AI Filing Summary

Capitol Federal Financial, Inc. filed an amended report to update its Short-Term Performance Plan. The Board had previously changed the plan’s performance metric from an efficiency ratio target to an operating expense ratio target, effective with the fiscal year 2026 plan year.

After that change, the operating expense ratio performance target was found to be incorrectly defined. On November 25, 2025, the Board approved an amended and restated plan correcting that definition and making minor grammatical changes related to termination of employment during performance cycles. This amendment replaces the earlier plan exhibit; all other prior disclosures remain unchanged.
