Tompkins Financial Corporation announced today that its Board of Directors has authorized a new stock repurchase program of up to 400,000 shares of the company's outstanding common stock, par value $0.10 per share. This program replaces the company's existing 400,000 share repurchase program announced on July 25, 2014.

The actual timing, number and value of shares repurchased under the program will be determined by management at its discretion and will depend on a number of factors, including the market price of the Company's stock and general market and economic conditions, and applicable legal requirements.
