DEREGISTRATION OF SECURITIES
 
First Financial Northwest, Inc. (the “Company”) is filing this Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 (this “Post-Effective Amendment”) to deregister certain securities that were originally registered pursuant to the Company’s Registration Statement on Form S-8 (File No. 333-149292) that was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 19, 2008 (the “Registration Statement”). The Registration Statement registered shares of the Company’s common stock and, pursuant to General instruction F to Form S-8 and Rule 416(c) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, an indeterminate amount of plan interests to be offered and sold pursuant to the First Savings Bank Northwest Savings Plan (the “Plan”).
 
Effective December 15, 2014, the Company’s common stock was eliminated as a participant investment option under the Plan. Accordingly, this Post-Effective Amendment is being filed to deregister any remaining unsold shares of the Company’s common stock as well as any plan interests previously registered under the Registration Statement.
