Item 5.04 Temporary Suspension of Trading Under Registrant's Employee Benefit Plans

Home Federal Bank, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Home Federal Bancorp, Inc. of Louisiana (the “Corporation”), has determined to deregister the previous registration and offering of common stock of the Corporation under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, through the Home Federal Bank Employees’ Savings & Profit Sharing and Trust (the “401(k) Plan”) as of June 30, 2024. In connection with deregistration of the common stock of the Corporation offered through the 401(k) Plan, there will be a blackout period during which participants in the 401(k) Plan will be temporarily unable to direct or diversify investments in the Corporation’s common stock fund in their individual accounts in the 401(k) Plan commencing on July 1, 2024 and ending on or about October 1, 2024.

In accordance with the requirements of Section 306 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and Rule 104 of Regulation BTR, on May 31, 2024, the Corporation notified its directors and executive officers of a corresponding blackout with respect to shares of the common stock of the Corporation held by them.

Re:	Blackout Notice for Home Federal Bank Employees’ Savings & Profit Sharing and Trust

On May 31, 2024, a notice was sent to all participants in the Home Federal Bank Employees’ Savings & Profit Sharing and Trust (the “Plan”) notifying them of the blackout period beginning on July 1, 2024, and ending on or about October 1, 2024, as a result of the deregistration of the offering of common stock of Home Federal Bancorp, Inc. of Louisiana (the “Corporation”) through the 401(k) Plan. During this blackout period, you are prohibited from trading (i.e., directly or indirectly, purchasing, selling or otherwise acquiring or transferring) any shares of common stock of Home Federal Bancorp, Inc. of Louisiana (NASDAQ symbol: “HFBL”), including the exercise of stock options.

The Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (the “Act”) requires that the plan administrator provide advance written notice to participants and beneficiaries of any blackout period. A “blackout period” is defined in the Act as any period of more than three consecutive business days during which participants or beneficiaries are unable to direct or diversify their plan account balances, obtain plan loans or obtain distributions. The notice to participants must be provided at least 30 days, but not more than 60 days, in advance of the last date on which participants and beneficiaries can exercise the affected rights immediately before the commencement of any blackout period. Participants were notified in a timely manner by the notice on May 31, 2024.

Pursuant to Rule 104 of Regulation BTR, in any case in which an executive officer or director is subject to Rule 306 of the Act, the issuer must notify each executive officer and director and the Securities and Exchange Commission of the blackout period. This notice to executive officers and directors must be sent at least 15 calendar days before the expected beginning date of the blackout period. That requirement is being satisfied with this notice.

If you should have any questions regarding this notice, please feel free to contact me.
