Item 5.08

To the extent applicable, the information in Item 8.01 of this Current Report on Form 8-K is incorporated by reference into this Item 5.08.

Item 8.01
Other Events.

On March 15, 2023, the Board of Directors of Broadway Financial Corporation (the “Company”) established June 21, 2023 as the date of the Company’s 2023 annual meeting of stockholders (the “2023 Annual Meeting”). The Company will publish additional details regarding the exact time, location, and matters to be voted on at the 2023 Annual Meeting in the Company’s definitive proxy statement for the 2023 Annual Meeting. This date represents a change of more than 30 days from the anniversary date of the Company’s 2022 Annual Meeting of stockholders held on October 19, 2022. As a result, the deadlines for stockholders to submit proposals and nominations of directors for the 2023 Annual Meeting as set forth in the Company’s definitive proxy statement for its 2022 annual meeting of stockholders are no longer effective.

Under the Company’s Bylaws, for stockholder proposals and director nominations to be presented at the 2023 Annual Meeting (other than by means of inclusion of a stockholder proposal in the proxy materials pursuant to Rule 14a-8 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), which is described below), the Company must receive proper written notice at the Company’s principal executive offices not later than 5:00 p.m. Pacific Time on April 3, 2023. The notice must include all of the information required by the Bylaws. The Board will review any stockholder proposal or director nomination that is received as required and will determine whether such proposal or nomination meets applicable criteria for inclusion in the proxy statement for, and for consideration at, the 2023 Annual Meeting. In addition to satisfying the deadlines in the advance notice provisions of our bylaws, a stockholder who intends to solicit proxies in support of nominees submitted under these advance notice provisions must provide the notice required under Rule 14a-19, the SEC’s universal proxy rule, to the Corporate Secretary of the Company no later than April 22, 2023.

Stockholder proposals intended for inclusion in the Company’s definitive proxy statement for the 2023 Annual Meeting pursuant to Rule 14a-8 under the Exchange Act must be received at the Company’s principal executive office no later than April 3, 2023 (which the Company believes is a reasonable time before it begins to print and send its proxy materials). Any such proposal must also meet the requirements set forth in the rules and regulations of the Exchange Act in order to be eligible for inclusion in the proxy materials for the 2023 Annual Meeting.

All such proposals and nominations must be addressed to the Secretary of the Company at 4601 Wilshire Boulevard, Suite 150, Los Angeles, California 90010, Attn: Audrey Phillips, Vice President and Corporate Secretary.
