ITEM 8.01 OTHER EVENTS.

On April 30, 2020, the board of directors of Federated Hermes authorized an additional share repurchase program with no stated expiration date that allows the buy back of up to 3.5 million shares of Class B common stock. This program authorizes executive management to determine the timing and the amount of shares for each purchase. The repurchased stock is to be held in treasury for employee share-based compensation plans, potential acquisitions and other corporate activities, unless Federated Hermes' board of directors subsequently determines to retire the repurchased stock and restore the shares to authorized but unissued status (rather than holding the shares in treasury).
