AMES, IOWA – Ames National Corporation (the "Company") announced today that a stock repurchase program was approved at a meeting of the Board of Directors held August 13, 2025.

This program will commence on August 14, 2025 and expire on November 17, 2026. The repurchases will be made in open market transactions at the discretion of management using Company cash.
