Broadway Financial Corporation (the “Company”) (NASDAQ Capital Market: BYFC), parent company of Broadway Federal Bank, f.s.b. (the “Bank”, and collectively with the Company, “Broadway”), today reported that the Company’s primary regulator, the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco, upon authorization from the Federal Reserve Board of Governors (collectively, the “FRB”), has terminated the Order to Cease and Desist (the “C&D”) applicable to the Company. This decision follows a regulatory review of the Company by the staff of the FRB and the termination of the Consent Order applicable to the Bank by the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (“OCC”) in November 2015. The C&D was entered into by the Company with the FRB’s predecessor regulatory organization in September 2010.

Chief Executive Officer, Wayne Bradshaw commented, “This decision by the FRB, along with the OCC’s decision in November, officially recognize that Broadway has re-established its position as a safe and sound financial institution. In addition, these decisions tacitly acknowledge the success that our team has achieved in generating profits, eliminating problem assets, re-building a quality loan portfolio, and strengthening our capital structure.

“Looking forward, we are committed to building stockholder value by remaining focused on profitability and expanding our position as a leading lender for multi-family residential properties in Southern California, particularly properties within our core market of low-to-moderate income communities. We believe that the removal of the regulatory orders will help us focus on growing our loan portfolio, which should improve our ability to increase net interest income, and enhance our efficiency.

“I wish to acknowledge the dedication, commitment to excellence, and perseverance of our employees whose efforts are responsible for this decision by the FRB, and to the patience of our stockholders who have supported us throughout the long process of re-establishing Broadway as a safe and sound financial institution.”
