Item 8.01 Other Events

The Board of Directors of S & T Bancorp, Inc. announced by press release the authorization of a $50 million share repurchase plan at its regular meeting held March 19, 2018. This repurchase authorization, which expires August 31, 2019, permits S & T to repurchase shares from time to time through open market or privately negotiated repurchases. A copy of the press release is included as Exhibit 99.1 to this report and is incorporated herein by reference.

The information in this Form 8-K and the exhibits attached to this Form 8-K contains certain forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These statements are based on current expectations and are subject to a number of factors that could cause actual events to differ materially from those anticipated, including without limitation fluctuations in the market price of the common stock, regulatory, legal and contractual requirements, other uses of capital, the company’s financial performance, market conditions generally or modification, extension or termination of the share repurchase authorization by the board of directors. Forward-looking statements are based on beliefs and assumptions using information available at the time the statements are made. We caution you not to unduly rely on forward-looking statements because the assumptions, beliefs, expectations and projections about future events may, and often do, differ materially from actual results. You should consider the above uncertainties as well as the precautionary statements included in S & T’s filings with the SEC, including without limitation the “risk factors” section of its Form 10-K. Any forward-looking statement speaks only as to the date on which it is made, and we undertake no obligation to update any forward-looking statement to reflect developments occurring after the statement is made.
