On November 17, 2016, the Board of Directors of TFS Financial Corporation (the “Company”) declared a cash dividend of $0.125 per share of common stock. The dividend is payable on December 12, 2016 to shareholders of record as of November 29, 2016. A press release announcing the details of the dividend declaration is attached as exhibit 99.1.

On July 26, 2016, the MHC received the approval of its members (depositors and certain loan customers of the Association) with respect to the waiver of dividends, and subsequently received the non-objection of the Federal Reserve Bank of Cleveland, to waive receipt of dividends on the Company’s common stock the MHC owns up to $0.50 per share during the four quarters ending June 30, 2017. The MHC previously waived the receipt of a $0.125 dividend paid by the Company on September 19, 2016.
