Quorum

The presence at the Annual Meeting or by proxy of holders of a majority of the total number of outstanding shares of common stock entitled to vote is necessary to constitute a quorum at the Annual Meeting. Abstentions and broker non-votes will be counted for purposes of determining that a quorum is present. In the event there are not sufficient votes for a quorum, or to approve or ratify any matter being presented at the time of the Annual Meeting, the Annual Meeting may be adjourned in order to permit the further solicitation of proxies.

Votes Required

As to the election of directors, a stockholder may: (i) vote FOR ALL nominees proposed by the Board; (ii) vote to WITHHOLD for ALL nominees; or (iii) vote to WITHHOLD for one or more of the nominees being proposed. Directors are elected by a plurality of votes cast, without regard to either broker non-votes or proxies as to which the authority to vote for the nominees being proposed is withheld. Plurality means that individuals who receive the highest number of votes cast are elected, up to the maximum number of directors to be elected at the Annual Meeting.

As to the ratification of the appointment of Yount, Hyde & Barbour, P.C. as our independent registered public accounting firm for the year ending December 31, 2022, a stockholder may: (i) vote FOR the ratification; (ii) vote AGAINST the ratification; or (iii) ABSTAIN from voting on such ratification. The ratification of this matter shall be determined by a majority of the votes represented at the Annual Meeting and entitled to vote on the matter, without regard to proxies marked ABSTAIN or broker non-votes.

As to the approval of the PB Bankshares, Inc. 2022 Equity Incentive Plan, a stockholder may: (i) vote FOR the approval; (ii) vote AGAINST the approval; or (iii) ABSTAIN from voting on such matter. The approval of this matter shall be determined by a majority of the votes represented at the Annual Meeting and entitled to vote on the matter, without regard to proxies marked ABSTAIN or broker non-votes.

Effect of Not Casting Your Vote

If you hold your shares in “street name,” you are considered the beneficial owner of your shares and your broker, bank or other holder of record is sending these proxy materials to you. As the beneficial owner, you have the right to direct your broker, bank or other holder of record how to vote by completing a voting instruction form provided by your broker, bank or other holder of record that accompanies your proxy materials. If you hold your shares in street name, it is critical that you cast your vote if you want it to count in the election of directors. Current regulations restrict the ability of your bank, broker or other holder of record to vote your shares in the election of directors and certain other matters on a discretionary basis. Therefore, if you hold your shares in street name and you do not instruct your bank, broker or other holder of record

on how to vote in the election of directors or on the 2022 Equity Incentive Plan, no votes will be cast on your behalf. These are referred to as “broker non-votes.” Your bank, broker or other holder of record, however, does continue to have discretion to vote any shares for which you do not provide instructions on how to vote on the ratification of the appointment of the independent registered public accounting firm. If you are a stockholder of record and you do not cast your vote, no votes will be cast on your behalf on any of the items of business at the Annual Meeting.

Participants in the Presence Bank Employee Stock Ownership Plan

If you participate in the Presence Bank Employee Stock Ownership Plan (the “ESOP”), you will receive a Vote Authorization Form for the ESOP that reflects all of the shares you may direct the trustee to vote on your behalf under the ESOP. Under the terms of the ESOP, the ESOP trustee votes all shares held by the ESOP, but each ESOP participant may direct the trustee how to vote the proportionate interest of shares of our common stock allocated to his or her account. The ESOP trustee, subject to the exercise of its fiduciary responsibilities, will vote all unallocated shares of our common stock held by the ESOP and allocated shares for which no voting instructions are received in the same proportion as shares for which it has received timely voting instructions, subject to a determination that such vote is in the best interest of ESOP participants. The deadline for returning your ESOP Vote Authorization Form is Wednesday, September 21, 2022 at 5:00 p.m. local time.

PROPOSAL I—ELECTION OF DIRECTORS

Our Board of Directors is currently comprised of nine members. Our Bylaws provide that directors are divided into three classes as nearly equal in number as possible, with one class of directors elected annually. Our directors are generally elected to serve for a three-year period and until their respective successors have been elected and qualified. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee of the Board of Directors has nominated Joseph W. Carroll, Thomas R. Greenfield and R. Cheston Woolard for election at the Annual Meeting to serve for a three-year period and until their respective successors have been elected and qualified. Each nominee is currently a director of PB Bankshares and Presence Bank. The Board of Directors recommends a vote “FOR” the election of the nominees.

The following sets forth certain information regarding the nominees and the other current members of our Board of Directors, and executive officers who are not directors, including the terms of office of board members. It is intended that the proxies solicited on behalf of the Board of Directors (other than proxies in which the vote is withheld as to any nominee) will be voted at the Annual Meeting for the election of the proposed nominees. If a nominee is unable to serve, the shares represented by all such proxies will be voted for the election of such substitute as the Board of Directors may determine. At this time, the Board of Directors knows of no reason why any of the nominees might be unable to serve, if elected.

Except as indicated herein, there are no arrangements or understandings between any nominee or continuing director and any other person pursuant to which such nominee or continuing director was selected.

Board Independence

The Board of Directors of PB Bankshares has determined that each of our directors, with the exception of President and Chief Executive Officer Janak M. Amin and Chairman Joseph W. Carroll, is “independent” as defined in the listing standards of the Nasdaq Stock Market. Mr. Amin is not independent because he is one of our executive officers. Chairman Carroll is not independent because he was Presence Bank’s Interim President in 2019. In evaluating the independence of our independent directors, we found no transactions between Presence Bank and our independent directors that are not required to be reported under “—Transactions With Certain Related Persons,” and that had an impact on our determination as to the independence of our directors.

Board Leadership Structure and Risk Oversight

Our Board of Directors is chaired by Joseph W. Carroll, who will become an independent director under the listing standards of the Nasdaq Stock Market in September 2022. Mr. Carroll served as interim President of Presence Bank for approximately nine months in 2019 during the search for a permanent President and Chief Executive Officer and before Presence Bank converted to stock form and became a public company. In light of these unique circumstances, the Board of Directors was comfortable with Mr. Carroll remaining as Chairman following the initial public offering and Nasdaq listing by PB Bankshares. Janak Amin is the President and Chief Executive Officer. We believe that our leadership structure, in which the roles of Chairman and CEO are separate, together with experienced and engaged independent directors and independent key committees, will be effective and is the optimal structure for PB Bankshares and its stockholders at this time.

To further assure effective independent oversight, the Board of Directors has adopted a number of governance practices, including:

●

a majority independent Board of Directors;

●

periodic meetings of the independent directors; and

●

an annual performance evaluation of the President and Chief Executive Officer by the Compensation Committee.

The Board of Directors recognizes that, depending on the circumstances, other leadership models might be appropriate. Accordingly, the Board of Directors periodically reviews its leadership structure.

The Board of Directors is actively involved in oversight of risks that could affect PB Bankshares. This oversight is conducted primarily through committees of the Board of Directors, but the full Board of Directors has retained responsibility for general oversight of risks. The Board of Directors also satisfies this responsibility through reports by the

committee chair of all board committees regarding the committees’ considerations and actions, through review of minutes of committee meetings and through regular reports directly from officers responsible for oversight of particular risks within PB Bankshares. Risks relating to the direct operations of Presence Bank are further overseen by the Board of Directors of Presence Bank, all of whom are the same individuals who serve on the Board of Directors of PB Bankshares. The Board of Directors of Presence Bank also has additional committees that conduct risk oversight. All committees are responsible for the establishment of policies that guide management and staff in the day-to-day operation of PB Bankshares and Presence Bank such as lending, risk management, asset/liability management, investment management and others.

Delinquent Section 16(a) Reports

Our common stock is registered with the SEC pursuant to Section 12(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”). Our executive officers and directors and beneficial owners of greater than 10% of our common stock (“10% beneficial owners”) are required to file reports on Forms 3, 4 and 5 with the Securities and Exchange Commission disclosing beneficial ownership and changes in beneficial ownership of the common stock. Securities and Exchange Commission rules require disclosure in our Proxy Statement and Annual Report on Form 10-K of the failure of an executive officer, director or 10% beneficial owner of our common stock to file a Form 3, 4, or 5 on a timely basis. Based on our review of ownership reports required to be filed during the year ended December 31, 2021, we believe that no executive officer, director or 10% beneficial owner of our shares of common stock failed to file an ownership report on a timely basis.

Code of Ethics for Senior Officers

PB Bankshares has adopted a Code of Ethics that is applicable to our officers, directors and employees, including our principal executive officer, principal financial officer, principal accounting officer or controller, or persons performing similar functions. The Code of Ethics is available at the Corporate Information page on our website at ir.presencebank.com under “Governance Documents.” Amendments to, and waivers from, the Code of Ethics will also be disclosed on our website.

Anti-Hedging Policy

PB Bankshares’ anti-hedging and anti-pledging provisions are covered in its Insider Trading Policy. Under the policy, directors and executive officers are prohibited from engaging in short sales of PB Bankshares stock, and unless specifically approved by the Board of Directors, from engaging in transactions in publicly-traded options, such as puts, calls and other derivative securities based on PB Bankshares stock including any hedging, monetization or similar transactions designed to decrease the risks associated with holding PB Bankshares stock. The Board of Directors has not approved and does not intend to approve such a program. In addition, directors and executive officers are generally prohibited from pledging PB Bankshares stock as collateral for any loan or holding PB Bankshares stock in a margin account. The Board of Directors may approve an exception to this policy for a pledge of PB Bankshares stock as collateral for a loan from a third party (not including margin debt) where the borrower clearly demonstrates the financial capacity to repay the loan without resort to the pledged securities. The Board of Directors has not approved any such exception to its policy.

Attendance at Annual Meetings of Stockholders

PB Bankshares does not have a written policy regarding director attendance at Annual Meetings of stockholders, although directors are expected to attend these meetings absent unavoidable scheduling conflicts. This is PB Bankshares’ first Annual Meeting of Stockholders.

Communications with the Board of Directors

Any stockholder who wishes to contact our Board of Directors or an individual director may do so by writing to: PB Bankshares, Inc., 185 E. Lincoln Highway, Coatesville, Pennsylvania 19320, Attention: Board of Directors. The letter should indicate that the sender is a stockholder and, if shares are not held of record, should include appropriate evidence of stock ownership. Communications are reviewed by the Corporate Secretary and are then distributed to the Board of Directors or the individual director, as appropriate, depending on the facts and circumstances outlined in the communications received. The Corporate Secretary may attempt to handle an inquiry directly (for example, where it is a request for information about PB Bankshares or it is a stock-related matter). The Corporate Secretary has the authority not to forward a communication if it is primarily commercial in nature, relates to an improper or irrelevant topic, or is unduly hostile, threatening, illegal or otherwise inappropriate. At each Board of Directors meeting, the Corporate Secretary shall present a summary of all communications received since the last meeting that were not forwarded and make those communications available to the directors on request.

Meetings and Committees of the Board of Directors

The business of PB Bankshares is conducted at regular and special meetings of the Board of Directors and its committees. In addition, the “independent” members of the Board of Directors (as defined in the listing standards of the Nasdaq Stock Market) meet in executive sessions. The standing committees of the Board of Directors of PB Bankshares are the Audit Committee, the Compensation Committee and the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee.

The Board of Directors of PB Bankshares held four regular meetings during the year ended December 31, 2021. Presence Bank held 10 regular meetings and no special meetings during the year ended December 31, 2021. No member of the Board of Directors or any committee thereof attended fewer than 75% of the aggregate of: (i) the total number of meetings of the Board of Directors (held during the period for which he/she has been a director); and (ii) the total number of meetings held by all committees on which he/she served (during the periods that he/she served).

Audit Committee. In 2021, the Audit Committee consisted of Mr. Woolard, Chairman, Ms. Wentz and Mr. Andress. The Audit Committee meets with the independent registered public accounting firm to review quarterly and annual filings, the results of the annual audit and other related matters. The Audit Committee met six times in 2021. Each member of the Audit Committee is “independent” as defined in the listing standards of NASDAQ and SEC Rule 10A(m)-3. The Board of Directors has determined that Mr. Woolard qualifies as an Audit Committee financial expert serving on the committee. Mr. Woolard meets the criteria including for independence established by the Securities and Exchange Commission and NASDAQ.

The Audit Committee meets periodically with the independent registered public accounting firm and management to review accounting, auditing, internal control structure and financial reporting matters. The committee also receives and reviews the reports and findings and other information presented to them by PB Bankshares’ officers regarding financial reporting policies and practices. The Audit Committee also reviews the performance of PB Bankshares’ independent registered public accounting firm, the internal audit function and oversees policies associated with financial risk assessment and risk management. The Audit Committee selects the independent registered public accounting firm and meets with them to discuss the results of the annual audit and any related matters. Our Board of Directors has adopted a written charter for the Audit Committee, which is available on our website at ir.presencebank.com.

Compensation Committee. The Compensation Committee was comprised of Directors Tompkins, Chairman, Greenfield, Pinno and Wentz. The Compensation Committee of PB Bankshares met three times during the year ended December 31, 2021.

With regard to compensation matters, the Compensation Committee’s primary purposes are to discharge the Board’s responsibilities relating to the compensation of the Chief Executive Officer and other executive officers, to oversee PB Bankshares’ compensation and incentive plans, policies and programs, and to oversee PB Bankshares’ management development and succession plans for executive officers. PB Bankshares’ Chief Executive Officer will not be present during any committee deliberations or voting with respect to his compensation. The Compensation Committee may form and delegate authority and duties to subcommittees as it deems appropriate.

The Compensation Committee operates under a written charter which is available on our website at ir.presencebank.com. This charter sets forth the responsibilities of the Compensation Committee and reflects the Compensation Committee’s commitment to create a compensation structure that encourages the achievement of long-range objectives and builds long-term value for our stockholders.

The Compensation Committee considers a number of factors in their decisions regarding executive compensation, including, but not limited to, the level of responsibility and performance of the individual executive officers, the overall performance of PB Bankshares and a peer group analysis of compensation paid at institutions of comparable size and complexity. The Compensation Committee engaged Mosteller & Associates to conduct a compensation survey which was presented to the Board of Directors in February 2021. The Compensation Committee also considers the recommendations of the Chief Executive Officer with respect to the compensation of executive officers other than the Chief Executive Officer.

Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee is comprised of Directors Pinno, Chairman, Greenfield and Constable. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee of PB Bankshares met two times during the year ended December 31, 2021. The committee seeks Board members who represent a mix of backgrounds that will reflect the diversity of our stockholders, employees, and customers, and experiences that will enhance the quality of the Board of Directors’ deliberations and decisions. As the holding company for a community bank, the Board of Directors also seeks directors who can continue to strengthen Presence Bank’s position in its community and can assist Presence Bank with business development through business and other community contacts. A candidate must meet the eligibility requirements set forth in our Bylaws, which include an age limitation provision, a residency requirement and a requirement that the candidate not have been subject to certain criminal or regulatory actions. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee operates under a written charter which is available on our website at ir.presencebank.com.

The committee considers the following criteria in evaluating and selecting candidates for nomination:

●

Contribution to Board – PB Bankshares endeavors to maintain a Board of Directors that possesses a wide range of abilities. Thus, the committee will assess the extent to which the candidate would contribute to the range of talent, skill and expertise appropriate for the Board of Directors. The committee will also take into consideration the number of public company boards of directors, other than PB Bankshares, and committees thereof, on which the candidate serves. The committee will consider carefully the time commitments of any candidate who would concurrently serve on the boards of directors of more than two public companies other than PB Bankshares, it being the policy of PB Bankshares to limit public company directorships to two companies other than PB Bankshares.

●

Experience – PB Bankshares is the holding company for an insured depository institution. Because of the complex and heavily regulated nature of PB Bankshares’ business, the committee will consider a candidate’s relevant financial, regulatory and business experience and skills, including the candidate’s knowledge of the banking and financial services industries, familiarity with the operations of public companies and ability to read and understand fundamental financial statements, as well as real estate and legal experience.

●

Familiarity with and Participation in Local Community – PB Bankshares is a community-orientated organization that serves the needs of local consumers and businesses. In connection with the local character of PB Bankshares’ business, the committee will consider a candidate’s familiarity with PB Bankshares’ market area (or a portion thereof), including without limitation the candidate’s contacts with and knowledge of local businesses operating in PB Bankshares’ market area, knowledge of the local real estate markets and real estate professionals, experience with local governments and agencies and political activities, and participation in local business, civic, charitable or religious organizations.

●

Integrity – Due to the nature of the financial services provided by PB Bankshares and its subsidiaries, PB Bankshares is in a special position of trust with respect to its customers. Accordingly, the integrity of the Board of Directors is of utmost importance to developing and maintaining customer relationships. In connection with upholding that trust, the committee will consider a candidate’s personal and professional integrity, honesty and reputation, including, without limitation, whether a candidate or any entity controlled by the candidate is or has in the past been subject to any regulatory orders, involved in any regulatory or legal action, or been accused or convicted of a violation of law, even if such issue would not result in disqualification for service under PB Bankshares’ Bylaws.

●

Stockholder Interests and Dedication – A basic responsibility of directors is the exercise of their business judgment to act in what they reasonably believe to be in the best long-term interests of PB Bankshares and its stockholders. In connection with such obligation, the committee will consider a candidate’s ability to represent the best long-term interests of PB Bankshares and its stockholders, including past service with PB Bankshares or Presence Bank and contributions to their operations, the candidate’s experience or involvement with other local financial services companies, the potential for conflicts of interests with the candidate’s other pursuits, and the candidate’s ability to devote sufficient time and energy to diligently perform his or her duties, including the candidate’s ability to personally attend board and committee meetings.

●

Independence – The committee will consider the absence or presence of material relationships between a candidate and PB Bankshares (including those set forth in applicable listing standards) that might impact objectivity and independence of thought and judgment. In addition, the committee will consider the candidate’s ability to serve on any Board committees that are subject to additional regulatory requirements (e.g. Securities and Exchange Commission regulations and applicable listing standards). If PB Bankshares should adopt independence standards other than those set forth in the Nasdaq Stock Market listing standards, the committee will consider the candidate’s potential independence under such other standards.

●

Gender and Ethnic Diversity – The committee understands the importance and value of gender and ethnic diversity on the Board of Directors and will consider highly qualified women and individuals from minority groups to include in the pool from which candidates are chosen.

●

Additional Factors – The committee will also consider any other factors it deems relevant to a candidate’s nomination that are consistent with our policies and strategic plan and the Board of Directors’ goal of promoting the long-term success of PB Bankshares and providing value to its stockholders. The committee also may consider the current composition and size of the Board of Directors, the balance of management and independent directors, and the need for audit committee expertise.

The committee identifies nominees by first evaluating the current members of the Board of Directors willing to continue in service, including the current members’ board and committee meeting attendance and performance, length of board service, experience and contributions, and independence. Current members of the Board of Directors with skills and experience that are relevant to PB Bankshares’ business and who are willing to continue in service are considered for re-nomination, balancing the value of continuity of service by existing members of the Board of Directors with that of obtaining a new perspective. If there is a vacancy on the Board of Directors because any member of the Board of Directors does not wish to continue in service or if the committee decides not to re-nominate a member for re-election, the Board of Directors would determine the desired skills and experience of a new nominee (including a review of the skills set forth above), may solicit suggestions for director candidates from all board members and may engage in other search activities.

During the year ended December 31, 2021 we did not pay a fee to any third party to identify or evaluate or assist in identifying or evaluating potential nominees for director.

The Board of Directors may consider qualified candidates for director suggested by our stockholders. Stockholders can suggest qualified candidates for director by writing to our Corporate Secretary at 185 E. Lincoln Highway, Coatesville, Pennsylvania 19320. The Board of Directors has adopted a procedure by which stockholders may recommend nominees to the Board of Directors. Stockholders who wish to recommend a nominee must write to PB Bankshares’ Corporate Secretary and such communication must include:

●

A statement that the writer is a stockholder and is proposing a candidate for consideration by the Board of Directors;

●

The name and address of the stockholder as they appear on PB Bankshares’ books, and of the beneficial owner, if any, on whose behalf the nomination is made;

●

The class or series and number of shares of PB Bankshares’ capital stock that are owned beneficially or of record by such stockholder and such beneficial owner;

●

A description of all arrangements or understandings between such stockholder and each proposed nominee and any other person or persons (including their names) pursuant to which the nomination(s) are to be made by such stockholder;

●

A representation that such stockholder intends to appear in person or by proxy at the meeting to nominate the nominee named in the stockholder’s notice;

●

The name, age, personal and business address of the candidate, the principal occupation or employment of the candidate and the number of shares of common stock of PB Bankshares that are owned by the candidate;

●

The candidate’s written consent to serve as a director;

●

A statement of the candidate’s business and educational experience and all other information relating to such person that would indicate such person’s qualification to serve on PB Bankshares’ Board of Directors; and

●

Such other information regarding the candidate or the stockholder as would be required to be included in PB Bankshares’ proxy statement pursuant to Securities and Exchange Commission Regulation 14A.

To be timely, the submission of a candidate for director by a stockholder must be received by the Corporate Secretary at least 120 days prior to the anniversary date of the proxy statement relating to the preceding year’s Annual Meeting of stockholders. If (i) less than 90 days’ prior public disclosure of the date of the meeting is given to stockholders and (ii) the date of the Annual Meeting is advanced more than 30 days prior to or delayed more than 30 days after the anniversary of the preceding year’s Annual Meeting, a stockholder’s submission of a candidate shall be timely if delivered or mailed to and received by the Corporate Secretary of PB Bankshares no later than the 10^th day following the day on which public disclosure (by press release issued through a nationally recognized news service, a document filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, or on a website maintained by PB Bankshares) of the date of the Annual Meeting is first made.

Submissions that are received and that satisfy the above requirements are forwarded to the Board of Directors for further review and consideration, using the same criteria to evaluate the candidate as it uses for evaluating other candidates that it considers.

There is a difference between the recommendations of nominees by stockholders pursuant to this policy and a formal nomination (whether by proxy solicitation or at a meeting) by a stockholder. Stockholders have certain rights under applicable law with respect to nominations, and any such nominations must comply with applicable law and provisions of the Bylaws of PB Bankshares. See “Stockholder Proposals and Nominations.”

Transactions With Certain Related Persons

Section 402 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 generally prohibits an issuer from: (1) extending or maintaining credit; (2) arranging for the extension of credit; or (3) renewing an extension of credit in the form of a personal loan for an officer or director. There are several exceptions to this general prohibition, one of which is applicable to Presence Bank. The Sarbanes-Oxley Act does not apply to loans made by a depository institution that is insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation and is subject to the insider lending restrictions of the Federal Reserve Act. All loans to Presence Bank’s directors and officers are made in conformity with the Federal Reserve Act and applicable regulations.

All loans made by Presence Bank to executive officers, directors, immediate family members of executive officers and directors, or organizations with which executive officers and directors are affiliated, were made in the ordinary course of business, on substantially the same terms, including interest rates and collateral, as those prevailing at the time for comparable loans to persons not related to Presence Bank, and did not involve more than the normal risk of collectability or present other unfavorable features. Presence Bank is in compliance with federal regulations with respect to its loans and extensions of credit to executive officers and directors. The aggregate amount of our loans to our executive officers, directors and their related parties was $291,000 at December 31, 2021. As of December 31, 2021, these loans were performing according to their original repayment terms.

Pursuant to our Policy and Procedures for Approval of Related Person Transactions, the Audit Committee periodically reviews, no less frequently than twice a year, a summary of transactions in excess of $25,000 with our directors, executive officers, and their family members, for the purpose of determining whether the transactions are within our policies and should be ratified and approved. Additionally, pursuant to our Code of Business Conduct and Ethics, all of our executive officers and directors must disclose any personal or financial interest in any matter that comes before PB Bankshares.

Employment Agreement

Presence Bank has entered into an employment agreement with Mr. Amin. The employment agreement has a term of three years. The term of the employment agreement extends automatically for one additional year on the anniversary of the effective date of the agreement, so that the remaining term is again three years, unless either Presence Bank or Mr. Amin give notice to the other of non-renewal. At least 30 days prior to the anniversary date of the employment agreement, the disinterested members of the Board of Directors of Presence Bank conducts a comprehensive evaluation and review of Mr. Amin’s performance for purposes of determining whether to take action to not renew the employment agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event PB Bankshares or Presence Bank enters into a transaction that would constitute a change in control, as defined under the employment agreement, the term of the agreement would automatically extend so that it would expire no sooner than two years following the effective date of the change in control.

The employment agreement specifies Mr. Amin’s base salary, which is currently $220,000. The Board of Directors of Presence Bank or the Compensation Committee may increase, but not decrease, Mr. Amin’s base salary. In addition to the base salary, the agreement provides that Mr. Amin will participate in any bonus plan or arrangement of Presence Bank in which senior management is eligible to participate and/or may receive a bonus on a discretionary basis, as determined by the Compensation Committee. Mr. Amin is also entitled to participate in all employee benefit plans, arrangements and perquisites offered to employees and officers of Presence Bank and the reimbursement of reasonable travel and other business expenses incurred in the performance of his duties with Presence Bank, including use of bank-owned or leased automobile.

Presence Bank may terminate Mr. Amin’s employment, or Mr. Amin may resign from his employment, at any time with or without good reason. In the event Presence Bank terminates Mr. Amin’s employment without cause or Mr. Amin voluntary resigns for “good reason” (i.e., a “qualifying termination event”), Presence Bank will pay Mr. Amin severance equal to the base salary and bonuses (based on the highest bonus for the three most recently completed calendar years prior to his date of termination) he would have received during the remaining term of the employment agreement. In addition, Mr. Amin will receive a cash payment equal the value of twenty-four months of continued non-taxable medical and dental coverage substantially comparable to the coverage maintained for the executive and his dependents immediately prior to his termination.

If a qualifying termination event occurs at or within two years following a change in control of PB Bankshares or Presence Bank, Mr. Amin would be entitled to (in lieu of the payments and benefits described in the previous paragraph) a severance payment equal to three times the sum of (i) his base salary in effect as of the date of termination or immediately prior to the change in control, whichever is higher, and (ii) and highest annual cash bonus earned for the calendar year in which the change in control occurs or for any of the three most recently completed calendar years prior to the change in control. In addition, Mr. Amin would receive a cash payment equal the value of twenty-four months of continued non-taxable medical and dental coverage substantially comparable to the coverage maintained for him and his dependents immediately prior to his termination. Presence Bank or its successor will make the payments to Mr. Amin in a lump sum within 30 days following his termination of employment.

The employment agreement terminates upon Mr. Amin’s death or disability. Upon termination of employment (other than a termination in connection with a change in control), Mr. Amin will be required to adhere to one-year non-competition and non-solicitation restrictions set forth in his employment agreement.

Change in Control Agreements

Presence Bank has entered into change in control agreements with Messrs. Byers and Witt. The change in control agreements have terms of two years. The term of each change in control agreement automatically extends for one additional year on each anniversary of the effective date of the agreement, so that the remaining term is again two years, unless either Presence Bank or the executive gives the other party a notice of non-renewal. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event PB Bankshares or Presence Bank enters into a transaction that would constitute a change in control, as defined under the agreements, the term of the agreements would automatically extend so that they would expire no sooner than two years following the effective date of the change in control.

In the event the Presence Bank (or its successor) terminate the executive’s employment (other than for cause) or the executive terminates his employment for “good reason,” in either case at or following a change in control of PB Bankshares or Presence Bank, the executive would be entitled to a severance payment equal to two times the sum of (i) the executive’s base salary in effect as of the date of termination or immediately prior to the change in control, whichever is higher, and (ii) the highest annual bonus earned by the executive for the calendar year in which the change in control occurs or for the three most recently completed calendar years prior to the change in control. The severance benefit would be paid to the executive in a lump sum within 30 days following the executive’s date of termination. In addition, each executive would receive 12 monthly COBRA premium reimbursement payments to the extent the executive elects COBRA for continued health care coverage.

Supplemental Executive Retirement Plans

Presence Bank entered into Supplemental Executive Retirement Plans (“SERPs”) with each of Messrs. Amin, Byers and Witt in 2020. In 2021, Presence Bank credited a contribution equal to a percentage of the executive’s salary (25% in the case of Mr. Amin and 15% in the case of Messrs. Byers and Witt), plus an amount attributable to earnings on those amounts, to an account for the benefit of the executives under the SERPs. The amounts credited to the executives’ accounts will earn an annual rate of interest equal to two percent (2%), compounded monthly.

Each executive vests in his account under the SERP over a five-year period beginning January 1, 2020; at the rate of 20% per year. Each executive also becomes 100% vested in his account balance in the event of death, disability, a change in control or an involuntary termination of service prior to age 65. The benefits under the SERPs are normally paid upon a separation from service in 180 monthly installments. The benefit is also paid in 180 monthly installments upon the executive’s disability. If the executive dies prior to a separation from service, the executive’s beneficiary will receive the account balance, plus an amount equal to the contributions and earnings credited to the executive’s account over the preceding 24 months, in 180 monthly installments. If the executive dies after the benefit payments have commenced, the executive’s beneficiary will continue to receive the benefits at the same time and in the same amounts the benefits would have been paid to the executive had he survived. In the event of a change in control prior to the executive attaining age 65, the executive will receive a lump sum payment of the account balance plus an amount equal to the contributions and earnings credited to the executive’s account over the preceding 24 months. The executives will forfeit all benefits under the SERPs if their employment is terminated for cause.

Bonuses

The Board of Directors has the authority to award discretionary bonus payments to the Named Executive Officers. While strict numerical formulas are not used to quantify the Named Executive Officers’ bonus payments, both company-wide and individually-based performance objectives are used to determine bonus payments. Company-wide performance objectives focus on earnings, growth, expense control and asset quality, which are customary metrics used by similarly-situated financial institutions in measuring performance. Individually-based performance objectives are determined based on the individual’s responsibilities and contributions to our successful operation. Both the company-wide and individually-based performance objectives are evaluated by the Board of Directors on an annual basis and also as a trend of performance measured over the prior three years. The Board of Directors also takes into consideration outside factors that impact our performance, such as national and local economic conditions, the interest rate environment, regulatory mandates and the level of competition in our primary market area.

For the year ended December 31, 2021, bonuses for the Named Executive Officers ranged from 25% to 42% of their salary.

Benefit Plans

401(k) Plan. Presence Bank sponsors the Presence Bank 401(k) Profit Sharing Plan and Trust (the “401(k) Plan”). The Named Executive Officers participate in the 401(k) Plan on the same terms as other employees. For the year ended December 31, 2021, Presence Bank made a discretionary matching contribution of 100% of an employee’s contribution up to 3% of eligible compensation and 50% of an employee’s contribution for the next 2% of eligible compensation and a profit-sharing contribution equal to 2% of each participant’s eligible compensation.

Employee Stock Ownership Plan. Presence Bank sponsors the Presence Bank Employee Stock Ownership Plan (the “ESOP”) for eligible employees. The Named Executive Officers participate in the ESOP on the same terms as other employees.

The ESOP trustee purchased, on behalf of the ESOP, 222,180 shares of PB Bankshares common stock. The ESOP funded the stock purchase with a loan from PB Bankshares equal to the aggregate purchase price of the common stock. The loan will be repaid principally through Presence Bank’s contribution to the ESOP and dividends payable on common stock held by the ESOP, if any, over the anticipated 20-year term of the loan. The trustee holds the shares purchased by the ESOP in an unallocated suspense account, and shares are released from the suspense account on a pro-rata basis as the loan is repaid. The trustee allocates the shares released among participants on the basis of each participant’s proportional share of compensation relative to the total aggregate compensation paid to all participants.

Director Compensation

The following table sets forth for the year ended December 31, 2021 certain information as to the total remuneration we paid to our directors other than Janak M. Amin. Mr. Amin does not receive fees for serving as a director.

Each person who serves as a director of PB Bankshares also serves as a director of Presence Bank and earns fees only in his or her capacity as a board member of Presence Bank.

PROPOSAL II—RATIFICATION OF APPOINTMENT OF

INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

The Audit Committee of PB Bankshares has approved the engagement of Yount, Hyde & Barbour, P.C. to be our independent registered public accounting firm for the year ending December 31, 2022, subject to the ratification of the engagement by our stockholders. At the Annual Meeting, stockholders will consider and vote on the ratification of the Audit Committee’s engagement of Yount, Hyde & Barbour, P.C. for the year ending December 31, 2022. A representative of Yount, Hyde & Barbour, P.C. is expected to attend the Annual Meeting and may respond to appropriate questions and make a statement if he or she so desires.

Even if the engagement of Yount, Hyde & Barbour, P.C. is ratified, the Audit Committee, in its discretion, may direct the appointment of a different independent registered public accounting firm at any time during the year if it determines that such change would be in the best interests of PB Bankshares and its stockholders.

Set forth below is certain information concerning aggregate fees billed for professional services rendered by Yount, Hyde & Barbour, P.C. for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020.

	Year Ended December 31, 2021		Year Ended December 31, 2020
Audit Fees	$	118,943	$	55,000
Audit-Related Fees	$	—	$	—
Tax Fees	$	—	$	—
All Other Fees	$	—	$	—

Audit Fees. Yount, Hyde & Barbour, P.C. billed us a total of $118,943 and $55,000 for 2021 and 2020, respectively, for professional services for the audit of PB Bankshares’ or Presence Bank’s annual consolidated financial statements, initial public offering fees and expenses and for limited review of quarterly condensed consolidated financial statements included in periodic reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including out-of-pocket expenses.

Audit-Related Fees. There were no audit-related fees billed by Yount, Hyde & Barbour, P.C. during the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020.

Policy on Audit Committee Pre-Approval of Audit and Non-Audit Services of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

The Audit Committee has considered whether the provision of non-audit services, which will relate primarily to tax services, is compatible with maintaining the independence of Yount, Hyde & Barbour, P.C. The Audit Committee concluded that performing such services does not affect the independence of Yount, Hyde & Barbour, P.C. in performing its function as our independent registered public accounting firm.

The Audit Committee’s current policy is to pre-approve all audit and non-audit services provided by the independent registered public accounting firm, either by approving an engagement prior to the engagement or pursuant to a pre-approval policy with respect to particular services, subject to the de minimis exceptions for non-audit services described in Section 10A(i)(1)(B) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. These services may include audit services, audit-related services, tax services and other services. The Audit Committee may delegate pre-approval authority to one or more members of the Audit Committee when expedition of services is necessary. The independent registered public accounting firm and management are required to periodically report to the full Audit Committee regarding the extent of services provided by the independent registered public accounting firm in accordance with this pre-approval, and the fees

for the services performed to date. The Audit Committee pre-approved 100% of tax fees billed and paid during the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020.

The Board of Directors recommends a vote “FOR” the ratification of Yount, Hyde & Barbour, P.C. as independent registered public accounting firm for the year ending December 31, 2022.

PROPOSAL III—APPROVAL OF THE PB BANKSHARES, INC.

2022 EQUITY INCENTIVE PLAN

Overview

PB Bankshares’ Board of Directors unanimously recommends that stockholders approve the PB Bankshares, Inc. 2022 Equity Incentive Plan (referred to in this proxy statement as the “2022 Equity Plan” or the “Plan”). Our Board of Directors unanimously approved the 2022 Equity Plan on July 27, 2022. The 2022 Equity Plan will become effective on September 28, 2022 (the “Plan Effective Date”) if stockholders approve the Plan on that date. No awards have been made under the 2022 Equity Plan.

No awards may be granted under the 2022 Equity Plan after the day immediately before the tenth anniversary of the Plan Effective Date. However, awards outstanding under the 2022 Equity Plan at that time will continue to be governed by the 2022 Equity Plan and the award agreements under which they were granted.

Best Practices

The 2022 Equity Plan reflects the following equity compensation plan best practices:

●

The Plan limits the maximum number of shares that may be issued to any one employee or one non-employee director, respectively, and to all non-employee directors as a group. For these purposes, we have generally adopted the limits set forth under the regulations of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System for equity plans adopted no earlier than six months and no later than one year after a conversion stock offering, even though the 2022 Equity Plan, which is being submitted to our stockholders more than one year after our mutual-to-stock conversion offering, is not otherwise subject to these limits;

●

The Plan provides for a minimum vesting requirement of one year for all equity-based awards, except that up to 5% of the awards may be issued (or accelerated) pursuant to awards that do not meet this requirement and any award may provide for accelerated vesting for death, disability or an involuntary termination without cause or resignation for good reason in connection with a change in control;

●

Under the Plan, the Compensation Committee (the “Committee”) may establish performance goals in connection with the grant of any award;

●

The Plan prohibits grants of stock options with a below-market exercise price;

●

The Plan prohibits repricing of stock options and cash buyout of underwater stock options without prior stockholder approval;

●

The Plan prohibits the payment of dividends on restricted stock or dividend equivalent rights on restricted stock units (sometimes referred to herein as “RSUs”) until the vesting or settlement date of the underlying award and does not permit the payment of dividend equivalent rights on stock options;

●

The Plan does not contain a liberal change in control definition;

●

The Plan does not permit liberal share recycling. Shares withheld to satisfy tax withholding or to pay the exercise price of a stock option will not be available for future grants;

●

The Plan requires “double trigger” vesting of awards upon a change in control, requiring both a change in control plus an involuntary termination or a resignation for “good reason,” except to the extent an acquiror fails or refuses to assume the awards or replace them with awards issued by the acquiror; and

●

Awards under the Plan may be subject to PB Bankshares’ clawback policies, including under Section 954 of the Dodd-Frank Act, as well as PB Bankshares’ trading policy restrictions and hedging/pledging policy restrictions.

The full text of the 2022 Equity Plan is attached as Appendix A to this proxy statement, and the description of the 2022 Equity Plan is qualified in its entirety by reference to it.

Why PB Bankshares Believes You Should Vote to Approve the 2022 Equity Plan

The Board of Directors believes that equity-based incentive awards will play a key role in the success of PB Bankshares by encouraging and enabling employees, officers and non-employee directors, as well as service providers, of PB Bankshares and its subsidiaries, including Presence Bank (as used in this section, PB Bankshares, Presence Bank and their respective subsidiaries are collectively referred to as “PB Bankshares”), upon whose judgment, initiative and efforts PB Bankshares has depended and continues to largely depend for the successful conduct of its business, to acquire an ownership stake in PB Bankshares, thereby stimulating their efforts on behalf of PB Bankshares and strengthening their desire to remain with PB Bankshares. The details of the key design elements of the 2022 Equity Plan are set forth in the section entitled “Plan Summary,” below.

We view the ability to use PB Bankshares common stock as part of our compensation program as an important component to our future success because we believe it will enhance a pay-for-performance culture that is an important element of our overall compensation philosophy. Equity-based compensation will further align the compensation interests of our employees and directors with the investment interests of our stockholders as it promotes a focus on long-term value creation through time-based and/or performance-based vesting criteria.

If the 2022 Equity Plan is not approved by stockholders, PB Bankshares will have to rely on the cash component of its employee compensation program to attract new employees and to retain our existing employees, which may not align our employees’ interests with the investment interests of PB Bankshares’ stockholders. In addition, if the 2022 Equity Plan is not approved and PB Bankshares is not able to use stock-based awards to recruit and compensate its directors, officers and other key employees, it could be at a competitive disadvantage for key talent, which could impede our future growth plans and other strategic priorities. The inability to provide equity-based awards would likely increase cash compensation expense over time and use up cash that might be better utilized if reinvested in PB Bankshares’ business or returned to PB Bankshares’ stockholders.

Equity Awards Will Enable Us to Better Compete for Talent in Our Marketplace. Most of our competitors offer equity-based compensation to their employees and non-employee directors. We view the ability to offer equity-based compensation as important to our ability to compete for talent within our highly competitive talent marketplace. If the 2022 Equity Plan is not approved, we will be at a significant disadvantage as compared to our competitors to attract and retain our executives as well as directors and, as noted above, this could impede our ability to achieve our future growth plans and other strategic priorities.

Equity Based Incentive Plans are Routinely Adopted by Financial Institutions Following Conversions. A substantial majority of financial institutions that complete a mutual-to-stock conversion have adopted equity-based compensation plans to attract, retain and reward qualified personnel and management.

Our Share Reserve is Generally Consistent with Banking Regulations and Industry Standards Disclosed in Connection with our Stock Offering. The number of restricted stock awards (including RSUs) and stock options that we may grant under the 2022 Equity Plan, measured as a percentage of total outstanding shares sold in the mutual-to-stock conversion,

is consistent with that which was disclosed in connection with our stock offering in the offering prospectus. The share pool under the 2022 Equity Plan represents 14% of the 2,777,250 shares of PB Bankshares common stock sold in the mutual-to-stock conversion, of which a number equal to 4% of the shares sold in the stock offering (the “4% Limit”) will be available to grant as awards of restricted stock and/or RSUs and a number equal to 10% of shares sold in the stock offering (the “10% Limit”) is comprised of stock options (the “stock option award pool”). This share reserve size, including the limits on award types described above, is also consistent with the amounts permitted under federal banking regulations for equity plans adopted within the first year following a mutual-to-stock conversion. Although we are not bound by these regulatory limits because we are implementing our Plan more than one year following the completion of our mutual-to-stock conversion, we have generally determined to maintain the size of the share reserve at that limit, subject to the following important exception. This plan design is referred to as a “fungible plan design” and is intended to ensure that the overall plan costs remain relatively constant irrespective of the type of award granted.

Determination of Shares Available under the 2022 Equity Plan

PB Bankshares is seeking approval of the 2022 Equity Plan, which includes a pool of shares of its common stock (referred to in this proxy statement as the “share reserve” or “share pool”) for awards under the Plan, subject to adjustment as described in the 2022 Equity Plan. The shares of common stock to be issued by PB Bankshares under the 2022 Equity Plan will be currently authorized but unissued shares or shares that may subsequently be acquired by PB Bankshares, including shares that may be purchased on the open market or in private transactions.

In determining the size of the share pool under the 2022 Equity Plan, PB Bankshares considered a number of factors, including: (i) industry practices related to the adoption of equity-based incentive plans by recently converted institutions; (ii) applicable banking regulations related to the adoption of equity based incentive plans; and (iii) guidelines issued by proxy advisory firms with respect to equity incentive plans, including the potential cost and dilution to stockholders associated with the share pool.

PB Bankshares disclosed to stockholders in its prospectus for its mutual-to-stock conversion and initial public offering that it expected to adopt an equity incentive plan that, if adopted within the first year following the mutual-to-stock conversion, would include restricted stock awards and stock options equal to 4% and 10%, respectively, of the total shares sold in the offering. Based on these percentages and the 2,277,250 shares sold in the offering, the total amount of shares available for issuance under the 2022 Equity Plan is 388,815. As noted, this is the same number of shares we would be permitted to issue under applicable conversion regulations if our Plan had been implemented within the one-year period following our mutual-to-stock conversion. Even though we are implementing the 2022 Equity Plan more than one year after our offering, we have determined to maintain the size of the 2022 Equity Plan at the amount disclosed in our offering prospectus.

Application of Share Pool. PB Bankshares has determined that of the shares available under the Plan, 111,090 shares may be issued as restricted stock or restricted stock units, including performance shares and performance share units (representing the 4% Limit described above) and 277,725 shares may be issued upon the exercise of stock options (representing the 10% Limit described above). As noted, PB Bankshares is adopting a fungible plan design that would permit the grant of additional awards of restricted stock or RSUs, provided that the stock option award pool will be reduced by three shares available to be issued on the exercise of stock options for each additional share of restricted stock or RSU granted in excess of the 4% Limit (i.e., per the 3:1 fungibility ratio).

Current Stock Price. The closing price of PB Bankshares common stock on the NASDAQ Capital Market on August 9, 2022 (the most recent practicable date before the printing of this proxy statement), was $12.67 per share.

Plan Summary

The following summary of the material terms of the 2022 Equity Plan is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the 2022 Equity Plan, which is attached as Appendix A to this proxy statement.

Purpose of the 2022 Equity Plan. The purpose of the 2022 Equity Plan is to promote the long-term financial success of PB Bankshares and its subsidiaries, including Presence Bank, by providing a means to attract, retain and reward individuals

who contribute to that success and to further align their interests with those of PB Bankshares stockholders through the ownership of shares of common stock of PB Bankshares and/or through compensation tied to the value of PB Bankshares’ common stock.

Administration of the 2022 Equity Plan. The 2022 Equity Plan will be administered by the Compensation Committee or such other committee consisting of at least two “Disinterested Board Members” defined as directors who, with respect to PB Bankshares or any subsidiary: (i) are not current employees; (ii) are not former employees who continue to receive compensation (other than through a tax-qualified plan); (iii) are not officers at any time in the past three years; (iv) do not receive compensation for which disclosure would be required pursuant to Item 404 of Regulation S-K in accordance with the proxy solicitation rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission; and (v) do not possess an interest in any other transaction and or engaged in a business relationship for which disclosure would be required under Item 404(a) of Regulation S-K. To the extent permitted by law, the Committee may also delegate its authority, including its authority to grant awards, to one or more persons who are not members of PB Bankshares’ Board of Directors, except that no such delegation will be permitted with respect to awards to officers who are subject to Section 16 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”).

Eligible Participants. Employees and non-employee members of the Boards of Directors of PB Bankshares and its subsidiaries, including Presence Bank, as well as service providers to PB Bankshares, will be eligible for selection by the Committee for the grant of awards under the 2022 Equity Plan. As of August, 9, 2022 (the most recent practicable date before the printing of this proxy statement), approximately 35 employees of PB Bankshares and its subsidiaries and eight non-employee members of PB Bankshares’ Board of Directors would be eligible for awards under the 2022 Equity Plan.

Types of Awards. The 2022 Equity Plan provides for the grant of restricted stock, RSUs, non-qualified stock options (also referred to as “NQSOs”), and incentive stock options (also referred to as “ISOs”), any or all of which can be granted with performance-based vesting conditions. ISOs may be granted only to employees of PB Bankshares’ subsidiaries and affiliates.

Restricted Stock and Restricted Stock Units. A restricted stock award is a grant of common stock to a participant for no consideration, or such minimum consideration as may be required by applicable law. Restricted stock awards under the 2022 Equity Plan will be granted only in whole shares of common stock and will be subject to vesting conditions and other restrictions established by the Committee consistent with the 2022 Equity Plan. Before the awards vest, unless otherwise determined by the Committee, the recipient of a restricted stock award may exercise voting rights with respect to the common stock subject to the award. Cash dividends declared on unvested restricted stock awards will be withheld by PB Bankshares and distributed to a participant at the same time the underlying restricted stock vests to the participant. Stock dividends on shares of restricted stock will be subject to the same vesting conditions as those applicable to the restricted stock on which the dividends were paid.

Restricted stock units are similar to restricted stock awards in that the value of an RSU is denominated in shares of common stock. However, unlike a restricted stock award, no shares of stock are transferred to the participant until certain requirements or conditions associated with the award are satisfied. A participant who receives an RSU award will not possess voting rights but may accrue dividend equivalent rights to the extent provided in the award agreement evidencing the award. If dividend equivalent rights are granted with respect to an RSU award, PB Bankshares will withhold the dividend equivalent rights and they will not be distributed before the underlying RSU settles. At the time of settlement, restricted stock units can be settled in PB Bankshares common stock or in cash, in the discretion of the Committee. The same limitation on the number of shares that are available to be granted as restricted stock awards available under the 2022 Equity Plan, referred to above as the 4% Limit, also applies to RSUs.

The Committee will specify the terms applicable to a restricted stock award or an RSU award in the award agreement including the number of shares of restricted stock or number of RSUs, as well as any restrictions applicable to the restricted stock or RSU such as continued service or achievement of performance goals, the length of the restriction period and the circumstances under which the vesting of such award will accelerate.

Stock Options. A stock option gives the recipient the right to purchase shares of common stock at a specified price (referred to as the “exercise price”) for a specified period of time. The exercise price may not be less than the fair market value of

the common stock on the date of grant. “Fair Market Value” for purposes of the 2022 Equity Plan means, if the common stock of PB Bankshares is listed on a securities exchange, the closing sales price of the common stock on that date, or, if the common stock was not traded on that date, then the closing price of the common stock on the immediately preceding trading date. If the common stock is not traded on a securities exchange, the Committee will determine the Fair Market Value in good faith and on the basis of objective criteria consistent with the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). Under the Plan, no stock option can be exercised more than 10 years after the date of grant and the exercise price of a stock option must be at least equal to the fair market value of a share on the date of grant of the option. However, with respect to an ISO granted to an employee who is a stockholder holding more than 10% of PB Bankshares’ total voting stock, the ISO cannot be exercisable more than five years after the date of grant and the exercise price must be at least equal to 110% of the fair market value of a share on the date of grant. Stock option awards will be subject to vesting conditions and restrictions as determined by the Committee and set forth in the applicable award agreement.

Grants of stock options under the 2022 Equity Plan will be either ISOs or NQSOs. ISOs have certain tax advantages and must comply with the requirements of Code Section 422. Only employees will be eligible to receive ISOs. One of the requirements to receive favorable tax treatment available to ISOs under the Code is that the 2022 Equity Plan must specify, and PB Bankshares stockholders must approve, the number of shares available to be issued as ISOs. As a result, in order to provide flexibility to the Committee, the 2022 Equity Plan provides that all of the stock options may be issued as ISOs. ISOs cannot be granted under the 2022 Equity Plan after July 27, 2032. Dividend equivalents rights will not be paid with respect to awards of stock options.

Shares of common stock purchased upon the exercise of a stock option must be paid for in full at the time of exercise: (1) either in cash or with stock valued at fair market value as of the day of exercise; (2) by a “cashless exercise” through a third party; (3) by a net settlement of the stock option using a portion of the shares obtained on exercise in payment of the exercise price; (4) by personal, certified or cashiers’ check; (5) by other property deemed acceptable by the Committee; or (6) by a combination of the foregoing.

Performance Awards. The Committee will specify the terms of any performance awards issued under the 2022 Equity Plan in the accompanying award agreements. Any award granted under the plan, including stock options, restricted stock (referred to herein as a “performance share”) and restricted stock units (referred to herein as a “performance share unit”) may be granted subject to the satisfaction of performance conditions determined by the Committee. A performance share or performance share unit will have an initial value equal to the fair market value of a share on the date of grant. In addition to any non-performance terms applicable to the performance share or performance share unit, the Committee will set one or more performance goals which, depending on the extent to which they are met, will generally determine the number of performance shares or performance share units that will vest in the participant (unless subject to further time-based vesting conditions). The Committee may provide for payment of earned performance share units in cash, shares of PB Bankshares’ common stock, or a combination thereof. The Committee will also specify any restrictions applicable to the performance share or performance share unit award such as continued service, the length of the restriction period (subject to the one-year minimum described above) and whether any circumstances, such as death, disability, or involuntary termination in connection with or following a change in control, shorten or terminate the restriction period.

Performance Measures. A performance objective may be described in terms of company-wide objectives or objectives that are related to a specific subsidiary or business unit of PB Bankshares, and may be measured relative to a peer group, an index or business plan and based on absolute measures or changes in measures. An award may provide that partial achievement of performance measures result in partial payment or vesting of an award. Achievement of the performance measures may be measured over more than one period or fiscal year. In establishing performance measures applicable to a performance-based award, the Committee may provide for the exclusion of the effects of certain items, including but not limited to: (i) extraordinary, unusual, and/or nonrecurring items of gain or loss; (ii) gains or losses on the disposition of a business; (iii) dividends declared on PB Bankshares’ stock; (iv) changes in tax or accounting principles, regulations or laws; or (v) expenses incurred in connection with a merger, branch acquisition or similar transaction. Moreover, if the Committee determines that a change in the business, operations, corporate structure or capital structure of PB Bankshares or the manner in which PB Bankshares or its Subsidiaries conducts its business or other events or circumstances render current performance measures to be unsuitable, the Committee may modify the performance measures, in whole or in part, as the Committee deems appropriate.

The Committee will specify the period over which the performance goals for a particular award will be measured and will determine whether the applicable performance goals have been met with respect to a particular award following the end of the applicable performance period. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Plan, performance measures relating to any award granted under the Plan will be modified, to the extent applicable, to reflect a change in the outstanding shares of stock of PB Bankshares by reason of any stock dividend or stock split, or a corporate transaction, such as a merger of PB Bankshares into another corporation, any separation of a corporation or any partial or complete liquidation by PB Bankshares or a subsidiary.

Individual Limits. The Board of Directors has chosen to adopt the overall limitations set forth in federal regulations for individual and aggregate awards to employees and non-employee directors under equity plans adopted within the first year after a mutual-to-stock conversion. The Committee will determine the individuals to whom awards will be granted, the number of shares subject to an award, and the other terms and conditions of an award, subject to the limits set forth herein. Subject to adjustment as described in the 2022 Equity Plan:

●

Employee Limits. Any individual employee will not receive shares issued under any award in excess of 25% of the aggregate shares available under the 2022 Equity Plan.

●

Non-Employee Director Limits. The maximum number of shares of PB Bankshares common stock that may be granted over the life of the Plan to any one non-employee director shall not exceed 5% of the aggregate shares available under the 2022 Equity Plan. In addition, the maximum number of shares that may be issued, in the aggregate, to all non-employee directors under awards granted under the 2022 Equity Plan shall not exceed 30% of the aggregate shares available under the Plan.

Plan Grants. At the present time, no specific determination has been made as to the grant or allocation of awards to directors, officers or employees. However, the Committee intends to grant equity awards to senior executives and directors and will meet after stockholder approval is received to determine the specific terms of the awards, including the allocation of awards to officers and employees.

Certain Restrictions with Respect to Awards. No dividend equivalent rights will be granted or paid with respect to any stock option. Additionally, no dividends or dividend equivalent rights will be paid on unvested awards contemporaneously with dividends paid on shares of PB Bankshares’ common stock. Instead, any dividends (or dividend equivalent rights, to the extent granted), with respect to an unvested award will be accumulated or deemed reinvested until such time as the underlying award becomes vested (including, where applicable, upon the achievement of performance goals).

The Committee will establish the vesting schedule or market or performance conditions of each award at the time of grant. However, at least 95% of the awards will vest no earlier than one year after the date of grant, unless accelerated due to death, disability or an involuntary termination of service at or following a change in control.

Adjustments. The Committee will make equitable adjustments in the number and class of securities available for issuance under the 2022 Equity Plan (including under any awards then outstanding), the number and type of securities subject to the individual limits set forth in the 2022 Equity Plan, and the terms of any outstanding award, as it determines are necessary and appropriate, to reflect any merger, reorganization, consolidation, recapitalization, reclassification, stock split, reverse stock split, spin-off combination, exchange of shares, distribution to stockholders (other than an ordinary cash dividend), or similar corporate transaction or event.

Termination of Service. Subject to certain exceptions, generally, if a participant ceases to perform services for PB Bankshares and its subsidiaries for any reason: (i) a participant will immediately forfeit any restricted stock, RSUs, performance shares and performance share units that were not vested on the date of termination; (ii) all of the participant’s stock options that were exercisable on the date of termination will remain exercisable for, and shall otherwise terminate at the end of, a period of three months after the date of termination, but in no event after the expiration date of the stock options; and (iii) all of the participant’s stock options that were not exercisable on the date of termination will be forfeited immediately upon termination. In the event of a participant’s termination of service due to death, disability (as defined in the plan), retirement after age 65 or involuntary termination at or following a change in control, the participant or the participant’s beneficiary, as applicable, has up to one year to exercise outstanding stock options, provided that the period

does not exceed the stock option award’s original term. The 2022 Equity Plan provides that a participant will vest in his or her dividends upon termination of the participant’s service due to death, disability, involuntary termination without cause or resignation for “good reason” (as defined in the 2022 Equity Plan) at or following a change in control (i.e., at the same time the participant vest in the underlying shares of restricted stock).

Change in Control. Unless the Committee provides otherwise in the award agreement, any time-based vesting requirement applicable to an award will be deemed satisfied in full if (i) both a change in control occurs and a participant has an involuntary termination of service (including a resignation for good reason) with PB Bankshares or (ii) the surviving entity in the change in control does not assume or replace the award with a comparable award issued by the surviving entity. With respect to an award that is subject to one or more performance objectives, unless the Committee specifies otherwise in the award agreement, in the event of a change in control and involuntary termination of service (including a resignation for good reason) or if the surviving entity fails to assume or replace the award with a comparable award issued by the surviving entity, achievement of the performance objective will be deemed achieved at the greater of target or the actual level of performance measured as of the most recent completed fiscal quarter.

Transferability. Generally, awards granted under the 2022 Equity Plan are not transferable before death, except in limited circumstances with respect to stock options. Unless otherwise determined by the Committee, stock options, including ISOs, are transferable to certain grantor trusts established by the participant in which the participant is the sole beneficiary or between spouses’ incident to divorce, in the latter case, however, any ISOs so transferred will become NQSOs. In the Committee’s sole discretion, an individual may transfer non-qualified stock options to certain family members or to a trust or partnership established for the benefit of such family member or to a charitable organization, in each case, provided no consideration is paid to the participant in connection with the transfer. However, a participant may designate a beneficiary to exercise stock options or receive any rights that may exist upon the participant’s death with respect to awards granted under the 2022 Equity Plan. Any transferee is subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan and applicable award agreement.

Amendment and Termination. The Board of Directors may at any time amend or terminate the 2022 Equity Plan, and the Board of Directors or the Committee may amend any award agreement for any lawful purpose, but no such action may materially adversely affect any rights or obligations with respect to any awards previously granted under the 2022 Equity Plan, except to the extent described herein. The Board of Directors or Committee may also amend the 2022 Equity Plan or an outstanding award agreement to conform the plan or award agreement to applicable law (including but not limited to Code Section 409A) or to avoid an accounting treatment resulting from an accounting pronouncement or interpretation issued by the SEC or Financial Accounting Standards Board after adoption of the plan or the grant of the award, which may materially and adversely affect the financial condition or operations of PB Bankshares. Neither the Board of Directors nor the Committee can reprice a stock option without prior stockholder approval, except in accordance with the adjustment provisions of the 2022 Equity Plan (as described above). Notwithstanding the foregoing any amendment that would materially (i) increase the benefits available under the Plan, (ii) increase the aggregate number of securities under the Plan, or (iii) materially modify the requirements for participation in the Plan must be approved by PB Bankshares’ stockholders.

Certain Federal Income Tax Consequences

The following is intended only as a brief summary of the federal income tax rules relevant to the primary types of awards available for issuance under the 2022 Equity Plan and is based on the terms of the Code as currently in effect. The applicable statutory provisions are subject to change in the future (possibly with retroactive effect), as are their interpretations and applications. Because federal income tax consequences may vary as a result of individual circumstances, participants are encouraged to consult their personal tax advisors with respect to their tax consequences. The following summary is limited only to United States federal income tax treatment. It does not address state, local, gift, estate, social security or foreign tax consequences, which may be substantially different.

Restricted Stock Awards. A participant generally will recognize taxable ordinary income upon the receipt of shares as a stock award or restricted stock award if the shares are not subject to a “substantial risk of forfeiture,” which is generally considered to require the performance of substantial future services. The income recognized will be equal to the fair market value of the shares at the time of receipt less any purchase price paid for the shares. If the shares are subject to a substantial risk of forfeiture, the participant generally will recognize taxable ordinary income when the substantial risk of forfeiture

lapses. If the substantial risk of forfeiture lapses in installments over several years, the participant will recognize income in each year in which the substantial risk of forfeiture lapses as to that installment. If the participant cannot sell the shares without being subject to suit under Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act, also known as the short swing profits rule, the shares will be treated as subject to a substantial risk of forfeiture. The income recognized upon lapse of a substantial risk of forfeiture will be equal to the fair market value of the shares determined as of the time that the substantial risk of forfeiture lapses less any purchase price paid for the shares. PB Bankshares generally will be entitled to a deduction in an amount equal to the amount of ordinary income recognized by the participant, subject to the requirements of Code Section 162(m), as applicable.

Alternatively, unless prohibited by the Committee, a participant may make a timely election under Code Section 83(b) to recognize ordinary income for the taxable year in which the participant received the shares underlying an award in an amount equal to the fair market value of the shares at that time. That income will be taxable at ordinary income tax rates. If a participant makes a timely Code Section 83(b) election, the participant will not recognize income at the time the substantial risk of forfeiture lapses with respect to the shares. At the time of disposition of the shares, a participant who has made a timely Code Section 83(b) election will recognize capital gain or loss in an amount equal to the difference between the amount realized upon sale and the ordinary income recognized upon receipt of the share (increased by the amount paid for the shares, if any). If the participant forfeits the shares after making a Code Section 83(b) election, the participant will not be entitled to a deduction with respect to the income recognized as a result of the election but will be entitled to a capital loss limited to the actually amount paid for the shares (if any). To be timely, the Code Section 83(b) election must be made within 30 days after the participant receives the shares. PB Bankshares will generally be entitled to a deduction in an amount equal to the amount of ordinary income recognized by the participant at the time of the election.

Restricted Stock Units. A participant generally is not taxed upon the grant of an RSU. Generally, if an RSU is designed to be settled on or shortly after the RSU is no longer subject to a substantial risk of forfeiture, then at the time of settlement in stock or cash the participant will recognize ordinary income equal to the amount of cash and/or the fair market value of the shares received by the participant (subject to the short swing profits rule) and PB Bankshares will be entitled to an income tax deduction for the same amount, subject to the requirements of Code Section 162(m), as applicable. However, if an RSU is not designed to be settled on or shortly after the RSU is no longer subject to a substantial risk of forfeiture, the RSU may be deemed a nonqualified deferred compensation plan under Code Section 409A. In that case, if the RSU is designed to meet the requirements of Code Section 409A, then at the time of settlement the participant will recognize ordinary income equal to the amount of cash and/or the fair market value of the shares received by the participant, and PB Bankshares will be entitled to an income tax deduction for the same amount. However, if the RSU is not designed to satisfy the requirements of Code Section 409A, the participant may be subject to income taxes and penalties under Code Section 409A in the event of a violation of Code Section 409A.

Nonqualified Stock Options. A participant generally is not taxed upon the grant of a NQSO. However, the participant must recognize ordinary income upon exercise of the NQSO in an amount equal to the difference between the NQSO exercise price and the fair market value of the shares acquired on the date of exercise (subject to the short swing profits rule). PB Bankshares generally will have a deduction in an amount equal to the amount of ordinary income recognized by the participant in PB Bankshares’ tax year during which the participant recognizes ordinary income, subject to the requirements of Code Section 162(m).

Upon the sale of shares acquired pursuant to the exercise of an NQSO, the participant will recognize capital gain or loss to the extent that the amount realized from the sale is different than the fair market value of the shares on the date of exercise. This gain or loss will be long-term capital gain or loss if the shares have been held for more than one year after exercise.

Incentive Stock Options. A participant is not taxed on the grant or exercise of an ISO. The difference between the exercise price and the fair market value of the shares covered by the ISO on the exercise date will, however, be a preference item for purposes of the alternative minimum tax. If a participant holds the shares acquired upon exercise of an ISO for at least two years following the ISO grant date and at least one year following exercise, the participant’s gain or loss, if any, upon a subsequent disposition of the shares is long-term capital gain or loss. The amount of the gain or loss is the difference between the proceeds received on disposition and the participant’s basis in the shares (which generally equals the ISO

exercise price). If a participant disposes of shares acquired pursuant to exercise of an ISO before satisfying these holding periods and realizes an amount in excess of the exercise price, the amount realized will be taxed to the participant as ordinary income up to the fair market value of the shares on the exercise date and any additional amount realized will be taxable to the participant as capital gain in the year of disposition; however, if the exercise price exceeds the amount realized on sale, the difference will be taxed to the participant as a capital loss. PB Bankshares is not entitled to a federal income tax deduction on the grant or exercise of an ISO or on the participant’s disposition of the shares after satisfying the holding period requirement described above. If the holding periods are not satisfied, PB Bankshares will be entitled to a deduction in the year the participant disposes of the shares in an amount equal to any ordinary income recognized by the participant, subject to the requirements of Code Section 162(m).

For an option to qualify as an ISO for federal income tax purposes, the grant of the stock option must satisfy various other conditions specified in the Code. In the event a stock option is intended to be an ISO but fails to qualify as an ISO, it will be taxed as an NQSO as described above.

Performance Awards. A participant generally is not taxed upon the grant of restricted stock or restricted stock units granted subject to the satisfaction of performance conditions (such restricted stock or restricted stock units will be referred to herein as “performance shares” or “performance share units”). The participant will recognize taxable income at the time of settlement of the performance share/unit in an amount equal to the amount of cash and the fair market value of the shares received upon settlement. The income recognized will be taxable at ordinary income tax rates. PB Bankshares generally will be entitled to a deduction in an amount equal to the amount of ordinary income recognized by the participant, subject to the requirements of Code Section 162(m). Any gain or loss recognized upon the disposition of the shares acquired pursuant to settlement of a performance share/unit will qualify as long-term capital gain or loss if the shares have been held for more than one year after settlement.

Golden Parachute Payments. The terms of the award agreement evidencing an award under the 2022 Equity Plan may provide for accelerated vesting or accelerated payout of the award in connection with a change in ownership or control of PB Bankshares. In such event, certain amounts with respect to the award may be characterized as “parachute payments” under the golden parachute provisions of the Code. Under Code Section 280G, no federal income tax deduction is allowed to PB Bankshares for “excess parachute payments” made to “disqualified individuals,” and receipt of such payments subjects the recipient to a 20% excise tax under Code Section 4999. For this purpose, “disqualified individuals” are generally officers, stockholders or highly compensated individuals performing services for PB Bankshares, and the term “excess parachute payments” includes payments in the nature of compensation which are contingent on a change in ownership or effective control of PB Bankshares, to the extent that such payments (in present value) equal or exceed three times the recipient’s average annual taxable compensation from PB Bankshares for the previous five years. Certain payments for reasonable compensation for services rendered after a change of control and payments from tax-qualified plans are generally not included in determining “excess parachute payments.” If payments or accelerations may occur with respect to awards granted under the 2022 Equity Plan, certain amounts in connection with such awards may constitute “parachute payments” and be subject to these “golden parachute” tax provisions.

Code Section 162(m)

Code Section 162(m) as in effect before the enactment of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the “TCJA”) in December 2017, limited to $1.0 million the deduction that a company was permitted to take for annual compensation paid to each “covered employee” (at that time defined as the Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and the three other highest paid executive officers employed at the end of the year other than the Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”)), except to the extent the compensation qualified as “performance-based” for purposes of Code Section 162(m). The TCJA retained the $1.0 million deduction limit, but it repealed the performance-based compensation exemption and expanded the definition of “covered employees” effective for taxable years beginning after December 31, 2017. “Covered employees” for a fiscal year now includes any person who served as CEO or CFO of a company at any time during that fiscal year, the three other most highly compensated company executive officers for that fiscal year (whether or not employed on the last day of that fiscal year) and any other person who was a covered employee in a previous taxable year (but not earlier than 2017) as determined pursuant to the pre-TCJA version of Code Section 162(m). Any awards that PB Bankshares grants pursuant to the 2022 Equity Plan to covered employees, whether performance-based or otherwise, will be subject to the $1.0 million annual deduction limitation. While the Committee intends to consider the deductibility of compensation when making equity

awards, it is only one factor it considers. Because of the elimination of the performance-based compensation exemption, the Committee expects that a portion of the compensation paid to covered employees in the form of equity grants under the 2022 Equity Plan may not be deductible by PB Bankshares.

New 2022 Equity Plan Benefits

Any future awards to executive officers, non-employee directors, employees of or service providers to PB Bankshares under the 2022 Equity Plan are discretionary and cannot be determined at this time. As a result, the benefits and amounts that will be received or allocated under the 2022 Equity Plan are not determinable at this time, and PB Bankshares has not included a table that reflects such future awards.

The Board of Directors unanimously recommends that you vote “FOR” the approval of the PB Bankshares, Inc. 2022 Equity Incentive Plan.

Any such proposals shall be subject to the requirements of the proxy rules adopted under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

Under new SEC Rule 14a-19, a stockholder intending to engage in a director election contest with respect to the PB Bankshares’ Annual Meeting of stockholders to be held in 2023 must give PB Bankshares notice of its intent to solicit proxies by providing the names of its nominees and certain other information at least 60 calendar days before the anniversary of the previous year’s Annual Meeting. This deadline is March 27, 2023.

In addition to the requirement set forth under SEC Rule 14a-19, our Bylaws provide an advance notice procedure for certain business, or nominations to the Board of Directors, to be brought before an Annual Meeting of stockholders. In order for a stockholder of record to properly bring business before an Annual Meeting, or to propose a nominee to the board of directors, our Corporate Secretary must receive written notice not earlier than the 100th day nor later than the 90th day prior to the anniversary date of the prior year’s Annual Meeting; provided, however, that in the event the date of the Annual Meeting is advanced more than 30 days prior to the anniversary of the preceding year’s Annual Meeting, then, to be timely, notice by the stockholder must be so received not later than the tenth day following the day on which public announcement of the date of such meeting is first made.

The notice with respect to stockholder proposals that are not nominations for director must set forth as to each matter such stockholder proposes to bring before the Annual Meeting: (i) a brief description of the business desired to be brought before the Annual Meeting and the reasons for conducting such business at the Annual Meeting; (ii) the name and address of such stockholder as they appear on the our books and of the beneficial owner, if any, on whose behalf the proposal is made; (iii) the class or series and number of shares of our capital stock which are owned beneficially or of record by such stockholder and such beneficial owner; (iv) a description of all arrangements or understandings between such stockholder and any other person or persons (including their names) in connection with the proposal of such business by such stockholder and any material interest of such stockholder in such business; and (v) a representation that such stockholder intends to appear in person or by proxy at the Annual Meeting to bring such business before the meeting.

The notice with respect to director nominations must include: (a) as to each person whom the stockholder proposes to nominate for election as a director, (i) all information relating to such person that would indicate such person’s qualification to serve on our Board of Directors; (ii) an affidavit that such person would not be disqualified under the provisions of Article II, Section 12 of our Bylaws; (iii) such information relating to such person that is required to be disclosed in connection with solicitations of proxies for election of directors, or is otherwise required, in each case pursuant

to Regulation 14A under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or any successor rule or regulation; and (iv) a written consent of each proposed nominee to be named as a nominee and to serve as a director if elected; and (b) as to the stockholder giving the notice: (i) the name and address of such stockholder as they appear on our books and of the beneficial owner, if any, on whose behalf the nomination is made; (ii) the class or series and number of shares of our capital stock which are owned beneficially or of record by such stockholder and such beneficial owner; (iii) a description of all arrangements or understandings between such stockholder and each proposed nominee and any other person or persons (including their names) pursuant to which the nomination(s) are to be made by such stockholder; (iv) a representation that such stockholder intends to appear in person or by proxy at the meeting to nominate the persons named in its notice; and (v) any other information relating to such stockholder that would be required to be disclosed in a proxy statement or other filings required to be made in connection with solicitations of proxies for election of directors pursuant to Regulation 14A under the Exchange Act or any successor rule or regulation.

Advance written notice for certain business, or nominations to the Board of Directors, to be brought before the next Annual Meeting must be given to us no earlier than February 13, 2023 and no later than February 23, 2023. If notice is received before February 13, 2023 or after February 23, 2023, it will be considered untimely, and we will not be required to present the matter at the stockholders meeting.

Nothing in this proxy statement shall be deemed to require us to include in our proxy statement and proxy relating to an Annual Meeting any stockholder proposal that does not meet all of the requirements for inclusion established by the Securities and Exchange Commission in effect at the time such proposal is received.

OTHER MATTERS

The Board of Directors is not aware of any business to come before the Annual Meeting other than the matters described above in the Proxy Statement. However, if any matters should properly come before the Annual Meeting, it is intended that the Board of Directors, as holders of the proxies, will act as determined by a majority vote.

APPENDIX A

PB BANKSHARES, INC.

2022 EQUITY INCENTIVE PLAN

ARTICLE 1 — GENERAL

Section 1.1. Purpose, Effective Date and Term. The purpose of the PB Bankshares, Inc. 2022 Equity Incentive Plan (the “Plan”) is to promote the long-term financial success of PB Bankshares, Inc. (the “Company”), and its Subsidiaries, including Presence Bank (the “Bank”), by providing a means to attract, retain and reward individuals who contribute to that success and to further align their interests with those of the Company’s stockholders through the ownership of additional shares of common stock of the Company and/or through compensation tied to the value of the Company’s common stock. The “Effective Date” of the Plan will be the date on which the Plan satisfies the applicable stockholder approval requirements. The Plan will remain in effect as long as Awards are outstanding; provided, however, that no Awards may be granted under the Plan after the day immediately before the ten-year anniversary date of the Effective Date.

Section 1.2. Administration. The Plan will be administered by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors (the “Committee”) in accordance with Section 5.1.

Section 1.3. Participation. Each individual who is granted or holds an Award in accordance with the terms of the Plan will be a Participant in the Plan (a “Participant”). The grant of Awards will be limited to Employees, Directors and Service Providers of the Company or any Subsidiary.

Section 1.4. Definitions. Capitalized terms used in this Plan are defined in Article 8 and elsewhere in this Plan.

ARTICLE 2 — AWARDS

Section 2.1. General. Any Award under the Plan may be granted singularly or in combination with another Award or other Awards. Each Award under the Plan will be subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan and any additional terms, conditions, limitations and restrictions as the Committee provides with respect to the Award and as evidenced in an Award Agreement. In the event of a conflict between the terms of an Award Agreement and the Plan, the terms of the Plan will control. Subject to the provisions of Section 2.2(d), an Award may be granted as an alternative to or replacement of an existing Award under the Plan or any other plan of the Company or any Subsidiary or as the form of payment for grants or rights earned or due under any other compensation plan or arrangement of the Company or any Subsidiary, including without limitation the plan of any entity acquired by the Company or any Subsidiary. The types of Awards that may be granted under the Plan include Stock Options, Restricted Stock and Restricted Stock Units, and any Award may be granted as a Performance Award.

Section 2.2. Stock Options. A Stock Option is a grant that represents the right to purchase shares of Stock at an established Exercise Price.

(a)Grant of Stock Options. Each Stock Option will be evidenced by an Award Agreement that specifies: (i) the number of shares of Stock covered by the Stock Option; (ii) the date of grant of the Stock Option and the Exercise Price; (iii) the vesting period or conditions to vesting or exercisability (whether time- and/or performance-based); and (iv) any other terms and conditions not inconsistent with the Plan, including the effect of termination of a Participant’s employment or Service, as the Committee may, in its discretion, prescribe. Any Stock Option may be either an Incentive Stock Option that is intended to satisfy the requirements applicable to an “Incentive Stock Option” (or “ISO”) described in Code Section 422(b), or a Non-Qualified Option that is not intended to be an ISO; provided, however, that no ISOs may be granted: (i) after the day immediately prior to the ten-year anniversary of the Effective Date or the date on which the Plan is approved by the Board of Directors, whichever is earlier; or (ii) to a non-Employee. Unless otherwise specifically provided by its terms, any Stock Option granted to an Employee under this Plan will be an ISO to the maximum extent permitted. Any ISO granted under this Plan that does not qualify as an ISO for any reason (whether at the time of grant or

A-1

as the result of a subsequent event) will be deemed to be a Non-Qualified Option. In addition, any ISO granted under this Plan may be unilaterally modified by the Committee to disqualify it from ISO treatment, so that it becomes a Non-Qualified Option; provided, however, that any such modification will be ineffective if it causes the Option to be subject to Code Section 409A (unless, as modified, the Option complies with Code Section 409A). The maximum number of Shares that can be issued as ISOs under the Plan is set forth in Section 3.2 hereof.

(b)Other Terms and Conditions. A Stock Option will become exercisable in accordance with its terms and conditions and during the period(s) established by the Committee. In no event, however, will a Stock Option expire later than ten (10) years after the date of its grant (or five (5) years with respect to ISOs granted to a 10% Stockholder). The Exercise Price of each Stock Option may not be less than 100% of the Fair Market Value of a share of Stock on the date of grant (or, if greater, the par value of a share of Stock); provided, however, that the Exercise Price of an ISO may not be less than 110% of Fair Market Value of a share of Stock on the date of grant if granted to a 10% Stockholder; provided further, that the Exercise Price may be higher or lower in the case of Stock Options granted or exchanged in replacement of existing Awards held by an employee or director of an acquired entity. The payment of the Exercise Price will be by cash or, subject to limitations imposed by applicable law, by any other means as the Committee may from time to time permit, including: (i) by tendering, either actually or constructively by attestation, shares of Stock valued at Fair Market Value as of the day of exercise; (ii) by irrevocably authorizing a third party, acceptable to the Committee, to sell shares of Stock (or a sufficient portion of the shares) acquired upon exercise of the Stock Option and to remit to the Company a sufficient portion of the sale proceeds to pay the entire Exercise Price and any tax withholding resulting from the exercise; (iii) by a net settlement of the Stock Option, using a portion of the shares of Stock obtained on exercise in payment of the Exercise Price (and if applicable, any tax withholding); (iv) by personal, certified or cashier’s check; (v) by other property deemed acceptable by the Committee; or (vi) by any combination thereof. The total number of shares of Stock that may be acquired upon the exercise of a Stock Option shall be rounded down to the nearest whole share, with cash-in-lieu paid by the Company, at its discretion, for the value of any fractional share.

(c)Prohibition of Cash Buy-Outs of Underwater Stock Options. Under no circumstances will any Stock Option with an Exercise Price as of an applicable date that is greater than the Fair Market Value of a share of Stock as of the same date that was granted under the Plan be bought back by the Company without stockholder approval.

(d)Prohibition Against Repricing. Except for adjustments pursuant to Section 3.4, and reductions of the Exercise Price approved by the Company’s stockholders, neither the Committee nor the Board of Directors shall have the right or authority to make any adjustment or amendment that reduces or would have the effect of reducing the Exercise Price of a Stock Option previously granted under the Plan, whether through amendment, cancellation (including cancellation in exchange for a cash payment in excess of the Award’s in-the-money value or in exchange for Options or other Awards), replacement grants, or other means.

Section2.3Restricted Stock.

(a)Grant of Restricted Stock. A Restricted Stock Award is a grant of a share or shares of Stock for no consideration or such minimum consideration as may be required by applicable law, subject to a time-based vesting schedule or the satisfaction of market conditions or performance conditions. Each Restricted Stock Award will be evidenced by an Award Agreement that specifies (i) the number of shares of Stock covered by the Restricted Stock Award; (ii) the date of grant of the Restricted Stock Award; (iii) the vesting period (whether time- and/or performance-based); and (iv) any other terms and conditions not inconsistent with the Plan, including the effect of termination of a Participant’s employment or Service. All Restricted Stock Awards will be in the form of issued and outstanding shares of Stock. Restricted Stock granted under the Plan may be evidenced in such manner as the Committee determines, including electronically and/or solely on the books and records maintained by the transfer agent. If certificates representing Restricted Stock are registered in the name of the Participant, the Committee may require that the certificates bear an appropriate legend referring to the terms, conditions and restrictions applicable to the Restricted Stock (including that the Restricted Stock may not be sold, encumbered, hypothecated or otherwise transferred except in accordance with the terms of the Plan and Award Agreement) and/or that the Company retain physical possession of the certificates, and that the Participant deliver a stock power to the Company, endorsed in blank, relating to the Restricted Stock.

A-2

(b)Terms and Conditions. Each Restricted Stock Award will be subject to the following terms and conditions:

(i)Rights and Restrictions. Restricted Stock Awards shall be subject to such restrictions on transferability, risk of forfeiture and other restrictions, if any, as the Committee may impose, or as otherwise provided in the Plan. The restrictions may lapse separately or in combination at such times, under such circumstances (including based on achievement of performance goals and/or future service requirements), in such installments or otherwise, as the Committee may determine at the date of grant or thereafter. A Participant granted Restricted Stock will have all of the rights of a stockholder, including the right to vote the Restricted Stock and the right to receive dividends thereon provided, however, that dividends payable with respect to Restricted Stock Awards (whether paid in cash or shares of Stock) will be subject to the same vesting conditions applicable to the Restricted Stock and will, if vested, be delivered or paid at the same time as the restrictions on the Restricted Stock to which they relate lapse.

(ii)Tender Offers and Merger Elections. Each Participant to whom a Restricted Stock Award is granted will have the right to respond, or to direct the response, with respect to the related shares of Restricted Stock, to any tender offer, exchange offer, cash/stock merger consideration election or other offer made to, or elections made by, the holders of shares of Stock. The direction for any of the shares of Restricted Stock shall be given by proxy or ballot if the Participant is the beneficial owner of the shares of Restricted Stock for voting purposes or, if the Participant is not the beneficial owner for voting purposes, by completing and filing, with the inspector of elections, the trustee or such other person who shall be independent of the Company, as the Committee shall designate in the direction, a written direction in the form and manner prescribed by the Committee. If no direction is given, then the shares of Restricted Stock will not be tendered.

Section 2.4. Restricted Stock Units.

(a)Grant of Restricted Stock Unit Awards. A Restricted Stock Unit is an Award, the value of which is denominated in shares of Stock that will be paid in Stock, including Restricted Stock, cash (measured based upon the value of a share of Stock) or a combination thereof, at the end of a specified period. A Restricted Stock Unit is subject to a vesting schedule or the satisfaction of market conditions or performance conditions. Each Restricted Stock Unit will be evidenced by an Award Agreement that specifies: (i) the number of Restricted Stock Units covered by the Award; (ii) the date of grant of the Restricted Stock Unit; (iii) the Restriction Period and the vesting period (whether time- and/or performance-based); and (iv) any other terms and conditions not inconsistent with the Plan, including the effect of termination of a Participant’s employment or Service.

(b)Other Terms and Conditions. Each Restricted Stock Unit Award will be subject to the following terms and conditions:

(i)The Committee shall impose any other conditions and/or restrictions on any Restricted Stock Unit Award as it may deem advisable, including, without limitation, a requirement that Participants pay a stipulated purchase price for each Restricted Stock Unit, time-based restrictions and vesting following the attainment of performance measures, restrictions under applicable laws or under the requirements of any Exchange or market on which shares of Stock may be listed, or holding requirements or sale restrictions placed by the Company upon vesting of Restricted Stock Units.

(ii)The conditions for grant or vesting and the other provisions of Restricted Stock Units (including without limitation any applicable performance measures) need not be the same with respect to each recipient. An Award of Restricted Stock Units shall be settled as and when the Restricted Stock Units vest or, in the case of Restricted Stock Units subject to performance measures, after the Committee has determined that the performance goals have been satisfied.

(iii)Subject to the provisions of the Plan and the applicable Award Agreement, during the period, if any, set by the Committee, commencing on the date of grant of the Restricted Stock Unit for which the Participant’s continued Service is required (the “Restriction Period”), and until the later of (A) the expiration of

A-3

the Restriction Period and (B) the date the applicable performance measures (if any) are satisfied, the Participant shall not be permitted to sell, assign, transfer, pledge or otherwise encumber Restricted Stock Units.

(iv)A Participant will have no voting rights with respect to any Restricted Stock Units. No dividends will be paid on Restricted Stock Units. In the sole discretion of the Committee, exercised at the time of grant, Dividend Equivalent Rights may be assigned to Restricted Stock Units. A Dividend Equivalent Right, if any, will be paid at the same time as the shares of Stock or cash subject to the Restricted Stock Unit are distributed to the Participant and is otherwise subject to the same rights and restrictions as the underlying Restricted Stock Unit.

Section 2.5. Vesting of Awards. The Committee shall specify the vesting schedule or market or performance conditions of each Award at the time of grant. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, at least ninety-five percent (95%) of the Awards available under the Plan shall vest no earlier than one (1) year after the date of grant, unless accelerated due to death, Disability, or an Involuntary Termination at or following a Change in Control.

Section 2.6. Deferred Compensation. Subject to approval by the Committee before an election is made, an Award of Restricted Stock Units may be deferred pursuant to a valid deferral election made by a Participant. If a deferral election is made by a Participant, the Award Agreement shall specify the terms of the deferral and shall constitute the deferral plan pursuant to the requirements of Code Section 409A. If any Award would be considered “deferred compensation” as defined under Code Section 409A (“Deferred Compensation”), the Committee reserves the absolute right (including the right to delegate such right) to unilaterally amend the Plan or the Award Agreement, without the consent of the Participant, to maintain exemption from, or to comply with, Code Section 409A. Any amendment by the Committee to the Plan or an Award Agreement pursuant to this Section 2.6 shall maintain, to the extent practicable, the original intent of the applicable provision without violating Code Section 409A. A Participant’s acceptance of any Award under the Plan constitutes acknowledgement and consent to the rights of the Committee, without further consideration or action. Any discretionary authority retained by the Committee pursuant to the terms of this Plan or pursuant to an Award Agreement shall not apply to an Award that is determined to constitute Deferred Compensation, if the discretionary authority would contravene Code Section 409A.

Section 2.7. Effect of Termination of Service on Awards. The Committee shall establish the effect of a Termination of Service on the continuation of rights and benefits available with respect to an Award and, in so doing, may make distinctions based upon, among other things, the reason(s) for the Termination of Service and type of Award. Unless otherwise specified by the Committee and set forth in an Award Agreement or as set forth in an employment or severance agreement between the Company and/or a Subsidiary and the Participant, the following provisions will apply to each Award granted under this Plan:

(a)Upon a Participant’s Termination of Service for any reason other than due to Disability, death, Retirement or for Cause, Stock Options shall be exercisable only as to the portion of the Award that was immediately exercisable by the Participant at the date of termination, and the Stock Options may be exercised only for a period of three (3) months following termination and any Restricted Stock Award or Restricted Stock Unit that has not vested as of the date of Termination of Service shall expire and be forfeited.

(b)In the event of a Termination of Service for Cause, all Stock Options granted to a Participant that have not been exercised (whether or not vested) and all Restricted Stock Awards and Restricted Stock Units granted to a Participant that have not vested shall expire and be forfeited.

(c)Upon Termination of Service for reason of Disability or death, any Service-based Stock Options shall be fully exercisable, whether or not then exercisable, and all Service-based Restricted Stock Awards and Restricted Stock Units shall vest as to all shares subject to an outstanding Award, whether or not otherwise immediately vested, at the date of Termination of Service. Upon Termination of Service for reason of Disability or death, any Awards that vest based on the achievement of performance targets shall vest, pro-rata, by multiplying (i) the number of Awards that would be obtained based on achievement at target (or if actual achievement of the performance measures is greater than the target level, at the actual achievement level) as of the date of Disability or death, by (ii) a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of whole months the Participant was in Service during the performance period and the denominator of which is

A-4

the number of months in the performance period. Stock Options may be exercised for a period of one (1) year following a Termination of Service due to death or Disability; provided, however, that no Stock Option shall be eligible for treatment as an ISO if the Stock Option is exercised more than one year following Termination of Service due to Disability and provided, further, in order to obtain ISO treatment for Stock Options exercised by heirs or devisees of an optionee, the optionee’s death must have occurred while employed or within three (3) months following Termination of Service.

(d)In the event of Termination of Service due to Retirement, a Participant’s vested Stock Options will be exercisable for one (1) year following Termination of Service. No Stock Option shall be eligible for treatment as an ISO if the Stock Option is exercised more than three (3) months following Termination of Service due to Retirement. Any Stock Option, Restricted Stock Award or Restricted Stock Unit that has not vested as of the date of Termination of Service shall expire and be forfeited.

(e)Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no Stock Option shall be exercisable beyond the last day of the original term of the Stock Option.

(f)Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 2.7, the effect of a Change in Control on the vesting/exercisability of Stock Options, Restricted Stock Awards and Restricted Stock Units is set forth in Article 4.

Section 2.8. Holding Period for Vested Awards. As a condition of receipt of an Award, the Award Agreement may require a Participant to agree to hold a vested Award or shares of Stock received upon exercise of a Stock Option for a period of time specified in the Award Agreement (“Holding Period”). In connection with the foregoing, a Participant may be required to retain direct ownership of Covered Shares until the earlier of (i) the expiration of the Holding Period following the date of vesting or (ii) such person’s termination of employment with the Company and any Subsidiary. The foregoing limitation, if applicable, shall not apply to the extent that an Award vests due to death, Disability or an Involuntary Termination at or following a Change in Control, or to the extent that (x) a Participant directs the Company to withhold or the Company elects to withhold shares of Stock with respect to the vesting or exercise, or, in lieu thereof, to retain, or to sell without notice, a sufficient number of shares of Stock to cover the amount required to be withheld or (y) a Participant exercises a Stock Option by a net settlement, and in the case of (x) and (y) herein, only to the extent of the shares are withheld for tax purposes or for purposes of the net settlement.

ARTICLE 3 — SHARES SUBJECT TO PLAN

Section 3.1. Available Shares. The shares of Stock with respect to which Awards may be made under the Plan shall be shares currently authorized but unissued, currently held or, to the extent permitted by applicable law, subsequently acquired by the Company, including shares purchased in the open market or in private transactions.

Section 3.2. Share Limitations.

(a)Share Reserve. Subject to the following provisions of this Section 3.2, the maximum number of shares of Stock that may be delivered to Participants and their beneficiaries under the Plan shall be equal to 388,815 shares of Stock. The maximum number of shares of Stock that may be delivered pursuant to the exercise of Stock Options (all of which may be granted as ISOs) is 277,725 shares of Stock, which represents 10.0% of the number of shares issued in connection with the conversion of the Bank from the mutual to the stock form and the Company’s related stock offering (the “Conversion”). The maximum number of shares of Stock that may be issued as Restricted Stock Awards and Restricted Stock Units is 111,090 shares of Stock, which represents 4.0% of the number of shares issued in connection with the Conversion. The aggregate number of shares available for grant under this Plan and the number of shares of Stock subject to outstanding awards shall be subject to adjustment as provided in Section 3.4. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company may grant Restricted Stock or Restricted Stock Units in excess of the limit set forth above, provided, that each share of Restricted Stock and/or each Restricted Stock Unit (or any other full value Award, including any Performance Award in the form of Restricted Stock or Restricted Stock Units), that is issued under the Plan from the pool in excess of the above limit shall reduce the number of Stock Options that are available by three (3), provided, however, that if a share of Restricted Stock or a Restricted Stock Unit is forfeited from the pool under conditions that would allow it to be regranted, the number of Stock Options that could thereafter be granted will also be increased by three (3), rounded down to the nearest whole Stock Option.

A-5

(b)Computation of Shares Available. For purposes of this Section 3.2 and in connection with the granting of a Stock Option, Restricted Stock or Restricted Stock Unit, the number of shares of Stock available for the grant shall be reduced by the number of shares previously granted, subject to the following provisions of this Section 3.4(b). To the extent any shares of Stock covered by an Award (including Restricted Stock Awards and Restricted Stock Units) under the Plan are not delivered to a Participant or beneficiary for any reason, including because the Award is forfeited or canceled or because a Stock Option is not exercised, then the shares shall not be deemed to have been delivered for purposes of determining the maximum number of shares of Stock available for delivery under the Plan. To the extent that: (i) a Stock Option is exercised by using an actual or constructive exchange of shares of Stock to pay the Exercise Price; (ii) shares of Stock are withheld to satisfy tax withholding upon exercise or vesting of an Award granted hereunder; or (iii) shares are withheld to satisfy the Exercise Price of Stock Options in a net settlement of Stock Options, then the number of shares of Stock available shall be reduced by the gross number of Stock Options exercised or Stock returned to satisfy tax withholding, rather than by the net number of shares of Stock issued.

Section 3.3. Limitations on Grants to Employees and Directors.

(a)Award Limitations. No individual Employee shall receive Awards representing more than twenty-five percent (25%) of the Stock available for issuance under the Plan. Non-Employee Directors (i.e., directors who are not also Employees of the Company or any Subsidiary) shall not receive, individually, Awards representing more than five percent of the Stock available for issuance under the Plan, and in the aggregate, shall not receive more than thirty percent (30%) of the Stock available for issuance as Awards under the Plan.

(b)Awards Subject to Adjustment. The aggregate number of shares available for grant under this Plan and the number of shares subject to outstanding Awards, including the limit on the number of Awards available for grant under this Plan described in this Section 3.3, shall be subject to adjustment as provided in Section 3.4.

Section 3.4. Corporate Transactions.

(a)General. In the event any recapitalization, reclassification, forward or reverse stock split, reorganization, merger, consolidation, spin-off, combination, or exchange of shares of Stock or other securities, stock dividend or other special and nonrecurring dividend or distribution (whether in the form of cash, securities or other property), liquidation, dissolution, or increase or decrease in the number of shares of Stock without consideration, or similar corporate transaction or event, affects the shares of Stock such that an adjustment is appropriate in order to prevent dilution or enlargement of the rights of Participants under the Plan and/or under any Award granted under the Plan, then the Committee shall, in an equitable manner, adjust any or all of: (i) the number and kind of securities deemed to be available thereafter for grants of Stock Options, Restricted Stock Awards and Restricted Stock Units in the aggregate to all Participants and individually to any one Participant; (ii) the number and kind of securities that may be delivered or deliverable in respect of outstanding Stock Options, Restricted Stock Awards and Restricted Stock Units; and (iii) the Exercise Price of Stock Options. In addition, the Committee is authorized to adjust the terms and conditions of, and the criteria included in, Stock Options, Restricted Stock Awards and Restricted Stock Units (including, without limitation, cancellation of any such Awards in exchange for the in-the-money value, if any, of the vested portion thereof, or substitution or exchange of any such Awards for similar awards denominated in stock of a successor or other entity) in recognition of unusual or nonrecurring events (including, without limitation, acquisitions and dispositions of businesses or assets) affecting the Company or any parent or Subsidiary or the financial statements of the Company or any parent or Subsidiary, or in response to changes in applicable laws, regulations, or accounting principles.

(b)Merger in Which Company is Not Surviving Entity. In the event of any merger, consolidation, or other business reorganization (including, but not limited to, a Change in Control) in which the Company is not the surviving entity, any Stock Options granted under the Plan which remain outstanding shall be converted into Stock Options to purchase voting common equity securities of the business entity which survives the merger, consolidation or other business reorganization having substantially the same terms and conditions as the outstanding Stock Options under this Plan and reflecting the same economic benefit (as measured by the difference between the aggregate Exercise Price and the value exchanged for outstanding shares of Stock in the merger, consolidation or other business reorganization), all as determined by the Committee before the consummation of the merger, consolidation or other business reorganization. Similarly, any Restricted Stock or Restricted Stock Units which remain outstanding shall be assumed by and become Restricted Stock

A-6

and/or Restricted Stock Units of the business entity which survives the merger, consolidation or other business reorganization. If the acquiring entity fails or refuses to assume the Company’s outstanding Awards, any Service-based Awards shall vest immediately at or immediately before the effective time of the merger, consolidation or other business reorganization. Any Awards subject to performance-based vesting conditions shall vest in the same manner as required under Section 4.1(c) hereof at the time of the merger, consolidation or other business reorganization, as if the holder thereof incurred an Involuntary Termination of Service on that date. Unless another treatment is specified in the documents governing the merger, consolidation or other business organization, in the case of vested Restricted Stock or Restricted Stock Units, holders thereof shall receive on the effective date of the transaction, the same value as received by a holder of a share of Stock, multiplied by the number of Restricted Stock or Restricted Stock Units held, and in the case of a holder of Stock Options, the holder shall receive the difference, in cash, between the aggregate Exercise Price of the holder’s outstanding Stock Options and the value exchanged for outstanding shares of Stock in the merger, consolidation or other business reorganization.

Section 3.5. Delivery of Shares. Delivery of shares of Stock or other amounts under the Plan shall be subject to the following:

(a)Compliance with Applicable Laws. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan, the Company shall have no obligation to deliver any shares of Stock or make any other distribution of benefits under the Plan unless the delivery or distribution complies with all applicable laws (including, the requirements of the Securities Act), and the applicable requirements of any Exchange or similar entity.

(b)Certificates. To the extent that the Plan provides for the issuance of shares of Stock, the issuance may be effected on a non-certificated basis, to the extent not prohibited by applicable law or the applicable rules of any Exchange.

ARTICLE 4 — CHANGE IN CONTROL

Section 4.1. Consequence of a Change in Control. Subject to the provisions of Section 2.5 (relating to vesting and acceleration) and Section 3.4 (relating to the adjustment of shares), and except as otherwise provided in the Plan or determined by the Committee and set forth in an Award Agreement:

(a)At the time of an Involuntary Termination at or following a Change in Control, all service-based Stock Options then held by the Participant shall become fully earned and exercisable (subject to the expiration provisions otherwise applicable to the Stock Option). All Stock Options may be exercised for a period of one (1) year following the Participant’s Involuntary Termination, provided, however, that no Stock Option shall be eligible for treatment as an ISO if the Stock Option is exercised more than three (3) months following a termination of employment.

(b)At the time of an Involuntary Termination at or following a Change in Control, all Service-based Awards of Restricted Stock and Restricted Stock Units shall become fully vested immediately.

(c)In the event of an Involuntary Termination at or following a Change in Control, unless otherwise specified in the Award Agreement, any Performance Award will vest based on the greater of the target level of performance or actual annualized performance measured as of the most recent completed fiscal quarter.

Section 4.2. Definition of Change in Control. For purposes of this Plan, the term “Change in Control” shall mean the consummation by the Company or the Bank, in a single transaction or series of related transactions, of any of the following:

(a)Merger. The merger, consolidation or other business combination or similar reorganization of the Company or the Bank, whether in one or a series of related steps (the “Combination”), if, immediately following the effectiveness of the Combination, either (A) less than two-thirds of the board directors or other governing body (the “Surviving Board”) of the entity paying the transaction consideration in such Combination, whether cash and/or securities, is composed of individuals who, immediately prior to effectiveness of the Combination, were serving on the teor other governing body of the Company or the Bank, or (B) less than sixty percent (60%) of the combined voting power of the securities having the right to vote in an election of the Surviving Board is beneficially owned (as defined in

A-7

Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act), directly or indirectly, by persons who, immediately prior to effectiveness of such Combination, were stockholders of the Company or the Bank;

(b)Acquisition of Significant Share Ownership. A person or persons acting in concert, other than the Company, has or have become the “beneficial owner” (as defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act), directly or indirectly, of twenty-five percent (25%) or more of the combined voting power of the securities having the right to vote in an election of the board of directors of the Company or the Bank (“Voting Securities”); provided, however, that this clause (b) shall not apply to beneficial ownership of the Company’s or the Bank’s Voting Securities held by an entity of which the Company directly or indirectly beneficially owns fifty percent (50%) or more of its outstanding Voting Securities;

(c)Change in Board Composition. During any period of two consecutive years, individuals who constitute the Board of Directors (or, if the Company ceases to be the beneficial owner (as defined in Rule 13d-3 of the Exchange Act), directly or indirectly, of a majority of the Voting Securities of the Bank, the Bank) at the beginning of such two-year period cease for any reason to constitute at least a majority of the board of Directors of the Company or the Bank, as applicable; provided, however, that for purposes of this sentence, an individual shall be deemed to have been a Director at the beginning of such period if such individual was elected, or nominated for election, by the board of Directors of the Company or the Bank, as applicable, by a vote of at least two-thirds of the Directors who were Directors at the beginning of the two-year period or were so elected or nominated by such Directors; or

(d)Sale of Assets. The sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company or the Bank to any person, group or entity.

In addition, if an Award constitutes Deferred Compensation, and the settlement of, or distribution of benefits under, the Award is to be triggered solely by a Change in Control, then with respect to the Award, a Change in Control shall be defined as required under Code Section 409A, as in effect at the time of the transaction.

ARTICLE 5 — COMMITTEE

Section 5.1. Administration. The Plan shall be administered by the Committee, which shall be composed of at least two Disinterested Board Members. Any members of the Committee who do not qualify as Disinterested Board Members shall abstain from participating in any discussion or decision to make or administer Awards that are made to Participants who at the time of consideration for such Award are persons subject to the short-swing profit rules of Section 16 of the Exchange Act. The Board of Directors (or if necessary to maintain compliance with the applicable listing standards, those members of the Board of Directors who are “independent directors” under the corporate governance statutes or rules of any national Exchange on which the Company lists, has listed or seeks to list its securities) may, in their discretion, take any action and exercise any power, privilege or discretion conferred on the Committee under the Plan with the same force and effect under the Plan as if done or exercised by the Committee.

Section 5.2. Powers of Committee. The administration of the Plan by the Committee shall be subject to the following:

(a)The Committee shall have the authority and discretion to select those persons who receive Awards, to determine the time or times of receipt, to determine the types of Awards and the number of shares of Stock covered by the Awards, to establish the terms, conditions, features (including automatic exercise in accordance with Section 7.18), performance criteria, restrictions (including without limitation, provisions relating to non-competition, non-solicitation and confidentiality), and other provisions of the Awards (subject to the restrictions imposed by Article 6), to cancel or suspend Awards and to reduce, eliminate or accelerate any restrictions or vesting requirements applicable to an Award at any time after the grant of the Award; provided, however, that the Committee shall not exercise its discretion to accelerate an Award within the first year following the date of grant if the exercise of such discretion would result in more than five percent (5%) of the aggregate awards under the Plan vesting in less than one year from the date of grant as provided for in Section 2.5, or to extend the time period to exercise a Stock Option, unless the extension is consistent with Code Section 409A.

A-8

(b)The Committee shall have the authority and discretion to interpret the Plan, to establish, amend and rescind any rules and regulations relating to the Plan, and to make all other determinations that may be necessary or advisable for the administration of the Plan.

(c)The Committee shall have the authority to define terms not otherwise defined herein.

(d)In controlling and managing the operation and administration of the Plan, the Committee shall take action in a manner that conforms to the charter and bylaws of the Company and applicable corporate law.

(e)The Committee shall have the authority to: (i) suspend a Participant’s right to exercise a Stock Option during a blackout period (or similar restricted period) (a “Blackout Period”) or to exercise in a particular manner (i.e., such as a “cashless exercise” or “broker-assisted exercise”) to the extent that the Committee deems it necessary or in the best interests of the Company in order to comply with the securities laws and regulations issued by the SEC; and (ii) to extend the period to exercise a Stock Option by a period of time equal to the Blackout Period, provided that the extension does not violate Section 409A of the Code, the Incentive Stock Option requirements or applicable laws and regulations.

Section 5.3. Delegation by Committee. Except to the extent prohibited by applicable law, the applicable rules of an Exchange upon which the Company lists its shares or the Plan, or as necessary to comply with the exemptive provisions of Rule 16b-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act, the Committee may allocate all or any portion of its responsibilities and powers to any one or more of its members and may delegate all or any part of its responsibilities and powers to any person or persons selected by it, including: (a) delegating to a committee of one or more members of the Board of Directors who are not “non-employee directors,” within the meaning of Rule 16b-3, the authority to grant Awards under the Plan to eligible persons who are not then subject to Section 16 of the Exchange Act; or (b) delegating to a committee of one or more members of the Board of Directors who would be eligible to serve on the Compensation Committee of the Company pursuant to the listing requirements imposed by any national securities exchange on which the Company lists, has listed or seeks to list its securities, the authority to grant awards under the Plan. The acts of the delegates shall be treated hereunder as acts of the Committee and the delegates shall report regularly to the Committee regarding the exercise of delegated duties and responsibilities and any Awards so granted. Any such allocation or delegation may be revoked by the Committee at any time.

Section 5.4. Information to be Furnished to Committee. As may be permitted by applicable law, the Company and its Subsidiaries will furnish the Committee with data and information it determines may be required for it to discharge its duties. The records of the Company and its Subsidiaries as to a Participant’s employment, termination of employment, leave of absence, reemployment and compensation will be conclusive on all persons unless determined by the Committee to be manifestly incorrect. Subject to applicable law, Participants and other persons entitled to benefits under the Plan must furnish the Committee any evidence, data or information as the Committee considers desirable to carry out the terms of the Plan.

Section 5.5. Committee Action. The Committee shall hold meetings, and may make administrative rules and regulations, as it may deem proper. A majority of the members of the Committee shall constitute a quorum, and the action of a majority of the members of the Committee present at a meeting at which a quorum is present, as well as actions taken pursuant to the unanimous written consent of all of the members of the Committee without holding a meeting, shall be deemed to be actions of the Committee. Subject to Section 5.1, all actions of the Committee, including interpretations of provisions of the Plan, will be final and conclusive and shall be binding upon the Company, Participants and all other interested parties. Any person dealing with the Committee shall be fully protected in relying upon any written notice, instruction, direction or other communication signed by a member of the Committee or by a representative of the Committee authorized to sign the same in its behalf.

ARTICLE 6 — AMENDMENT AND TERMINATION

Section 6.1. General. The Board of Directors may, as permitted by law, at any time, amend or terminate the Plan, and the Board of Directors or the Committee may amend any Award Agreement, provided, however, that no amendment or termination (except as provided in Sections 2.6, 3.4 and 6.2) may cause the Award to violate Code Section 409A, may cause the repricing of a Stock Option, or, in the absence of written consent to the change by the affected Participant (or, if

A-9

the Participant is not then living, the affected beneficiary), adversely impair the rights of any Participant or beneficiary under any Award before the date the amendment is adopted by the Board of Directors; provided, however, that, no amendment may (a) materially increase the benefits accruing to Participants under the Plan, (b) materially increase the aggregate number of securities which may be issued under the Plan, other than pursuant to Section 3.4, or (c) materially modify the requirements for participation in the Plan, unless the amendment is approved by the Company’s stockholders.

Section 6.2. Amendment to Conform to Law and Accounting Changes. Notwithstanding any provision in this Plan or any Award Agreement to the contrary, the Committee may amend the Plan or any Award Agreement, to take effect retroactively or otherwise, as deemed necessary or advisable for the purpose of: (i) conforming the Plan or the Award Agreement to any present or future law relating to plans of this or similar nature (including, but not limited to, Code Section 409A); or (ii) avoiding an accounting treatment resulting from an accounting pronouncement or interpretation thereof issued by the SEC or by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) after the adoption of the Plan or the making of the Award affected thereby, which, in the sole discretion of the Committee, may materially and adversely affect the financial condition or results of operations of the Company. By accepting an Award under this Plan, each Participant agrees and consents to any amendment made pursuant to this Section 6.2 to any Award granted under the Plan without further consideration or action.

ARTICLE 7 — GENERAL TERMS

Section 7.1. No Implied Rights.

(a)No Rights to Specific Assets. Neither a Participant nor any other person shall by reason of participation in the Plan acquire any right in or title to any assets, funds or property of the Company or any Subsidiary whatsoever, including any specific funds, assets, or other property which the Company or any Subsidiary, in its sole discretion, may set aside in anticipation of a liability under the Plan. A Participant shall have only a contractual right, evidenced by an Award Agreement, to the shares of Stock or amounts, if any, payable or distributable under the Plan, unsecured by any assets of the Company or any Subsidiary, and nothing contained in the Plan shall constitute a guarantee that the assets of the Company or any Subsidiary shall be sufficient to pay any benefits to any person.

(b)No Contractual Right to Employment or Future Awards. The Plan does not constitute a contract of employment, and selection as a Participant will not give any participating Employee the right to be retained in the employ of the Company or any Subsidiary or any right or claim to any benefit under the Plan, unless the right or claim has specifically accrued under the terms of the Plan. No individual shall have the right to be selected to receive an Award under the Plan, or, having been so selected, to receive a future Award under the Plan.

(c)No Rights as a Stockholder. Except as otherwise provided in the Plan or in an Award Agreement, no Award shall confer upon the holder thereof any rights as a stockholder of the Company before the date on which the individual fulfills all conditions for receipt of such rights.

Section 7.2. Transferability. Except as otherwise so provided by the Committee, Stock Options under the Plan are not transferable except: (i) as designated by the Participant by will or by the laws of descent and distribution; (ii) to a trust established by the Participant, if under Code Section 671 and applicable state law, the Participant is considered the sole beneficial owner of the Stock Option while held in trust; or (iii) between spouses incident to a divorce or pursuant to a domestic relations order, provided, however, in the case of a transfer within the meaning of Section 7.2(iii), the Stock Option shall not qualify as an ISO as of the day of the transfer. The Committee shall have the discretion to permit the transfer of vested Stock Options (other than ISOs) under the Plan; provided, however, that such transfers shall be limited to Immediate Family Members of Participants, trusts and partnerships established for the primary benefit of Immediate Family Members or to charitable organizations, and; provided, further, that the transfers are not made for consideration to the Participant.

Awards of Restricted Stock shall not be transferable, except in the event of death, before the time that the Awards vest in the Participant. A Restricted Stock Unit Award is not transferable, except in the event of death, before the time that the Restricted Stock Unit Award vests in the Participant and the property in which the Restricted Stock Unit is denominated is distributed to the Participant or the Participant’s Beneficiary.

A-10

A Beneficiary, transferee, or other person claiming any rights under the Plan from or through any Participant shall be subject to all terms and conditions of the Plan and any Award Agreement applicable to such Participant, except as otherwise determined by the Committee, and to any additional terms and conditions deemed necessary or appropriate by the Committee.

Section 7.3. Designation of Beneficiaries. A Participant may file with the Company a written designation of a beneficiary or beneficiaries under this Plan and may from time to time revoke or amend any such designation. Any designation of beneficiary under this Plan shall be controlling over any other disposition, testamentary or otherwise (unless the disposition is pursuant to a domestic relations order); provided, however, that if the Committee is in doubt as to the entitlement of any beneficiary to any Award, the Committee may determine to recognize only the legal representative of the Participant, in which case the Company, the Committee and the members thereof shall not be under any further liability to anyone.

Section 7.4. Non-Exclusivity. Neither the adoption of this Plan by the Board of Directors nor the submission of the Plan to the stockholders of the Company for approval (and any subsequent approval by the stockholders of the Company) shall be construed as creating any limitations on the power of the Board of Directors or the Committee to adopt other incentive arrangements as may deemed desirable, including, without limitation, the granting of Restricted Stock Awards, Restricted Stock Units and/or Stock Options and such arrangements may be either generally applicable or applicable only in specific cases.

Section 7.5. Eligibility for Form and Time of Elections/Notification Under Code Section 83(b). Unless otherwise specified herein, each election required or permitted to be made by any Participant or other person entitled to benefits under the Plan, and any permitted modification or revocation thereof, shall be filed with the Company at such times, in such form, and subject to such restrictions and limitations, not inconsistent with the terms of the Plan, as the Committee shall require. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Committee may, on the date of grant or at a later date, as applicable, prohibit an individual from making an election under Code Section 83(b). If the Committee has not prohibited an individual from making this election, an individual who makes this election shall notify the Committee of the election within ten (10) days of filing notice of the election with the Internal Revenue Service or as otherwise required by the Committee. This requirement is in addition to any filing and notification required under the regulations issued under the authority of Code Section 83(b).

Section 7.6. Evidence. Evidence required of anyone under the Plan may be by certificate, affidavit, document or other written information upon which the person is acting considers pertinent and reliable, and signed, made or presented by the proper party or parties.

Section 7.7. Tax Withholding.

(a)Payment by Participant. Each Participant shall, no later than the date as of which the value of an Award or of any Stock or other amounts received thereunder first becomes includable in the gross income of the Participant for Federal income tax purposes, pay to the Company, or make arrangements satisfactory to the Committee regarding payment of, any Federal, state, or local taxes of any kind required by law to be withheld by the Company with respect to such income. The Company and its Subsidiaries shall, to the extent permitted by law, have the right to deduct any such taxes from any payment of any kind otherwise due to the Participant. The Company’s obligation to deliver evidence of book entry (or stock certificates) to any Participant is subject to and conditioned on tax withholding obligations being satisfied by the Participant.

(b)Payment in Stock. The Committee may require the Company’s tax withholding obligation to be satisfied, in whole or in part, by the Company withholding from shares of Stock to be issued pursuant to any Award a number of shares with an aggregate Fair Market Value (as of the date the withholding is effected) that would satisfy the withholding amount due; provided, however, that the amount withheld does not exceed the maximum statutory tax rate or such lesser amount as is necessary to avoid liability accounting treatment. For purposes of share withholding, the Fair Market Value of withheld shares shall be determined in the same manner as the value of Stock includible in income of the Participants.

A-11

Section 7.8. Action by Company or Subsidiary. Any action required or permitted to be taken by the Company or any Subsidiary shall be by resolution or unanimous written consent of its board of directors, or by action of one or more members of the board of directors (including a committee of the board of directors) who are duly authorized to act for the board of directors, or (except to the extent prohibited by applicable law or applicable rules of the Exchange on which the Company lists its securities) by a duly authorized officer of the Company or Subsidiary.

Section 7.9. Successors. All obligations of the Company under the Plan shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of any successor to the Company, whether the existence of the successor is the result of a direct or indirect purchase, merger, consolidation or otherwise, of all or substantially all of the business, stock, and/or assets of the Company.

Section 7.10. Indemnification. To the fullest extent permitted by law and the Company’s governing documents, each person who is or shall have been a member of the Committee, or of the Board of Directors, or an officer of the Company to whom authority was delegated in accordance with Section 5.3, shall be indemnified and held harmless by the Company against and from any loss (including amounts paid in settlement), cost, liability or expense (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) that may be imposed upon or reasonably incurred by him or her in connection with or resulting from any claim, action, suit, or proceeding to which he or she may be a party or in which he or she may be involved by reason of any action taken or failure to act under the Plan and against and from any and all amounts paid by him or her in settlement thereof, with the Company’s approval, or paid by him or her in satisfaction of any judgment in any such action, suit, or proceeding against him or her, provided he or she shall give the Company an opportunity, at its own expense, to handle and defend the same before he or she undertakes to handle and defend it on his or her own behalf, unless such loss, cost, liability, or expense is a result of his or her own willful misconduct or except as expressly provided by statute or regulation. The foregoing right of indemnification shall not be exclusive of any other rights of indemnification to which such persons may be entitled under the Company’s charter or bylaws, as a matter of law, or otherwise, or any power that the Company may have to indemnify them or hold them harmless. The foregoing right to indemnification shall include the right to be paid by the Company the expenses incurred in defending any such proceeding in advance of its final disposition, provided, however, that, if required by applicable law, an advancement of expenses shall be made only upon delivery to the Company of an undertaking, by or on behalf of such persons to repay all amounts so advanced if it shall ultimately be determined by final judicial decision from which there is no further right to appeal that such person is not entitled to be indemnified for such expenses.

Section 7.11. No Fractional Shares. Unless otherwise permitted by the Committee, no fractional shares of Stock shall be issued or delivered pursuant to the Plan or any Award Agreement. The Committee shall determine whether cash or other property shall be issued or paid in lieu of fractional shares or whether the fractional shares or any rights thereto shall be forfeited or otherwise eliminated by rounding down.

Section 7.12. Governing Law. The Plan, all Awards granted hereunder, and all actions taken in connection herewith shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania without reference to principles of conflict of laws, except as superseded by applicable federal law. The federal and state courts located in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania shall have exclusive jurisdiction over any claim, action, complaint or lawsuit brought under the terms of the Plan. By accepting any Award, each Participant and any other person claiming any rights under the Plan agrees to submit himself or herself and any legal action that brought with respect to the Plan, to the sole jurisdiction of such courts for the adjudication and resolution of any such disputes.

Section 7.13. Benefits Under Other Plans. Except as otherwise provided by the Committee or as set forth in a Qualified Retirement Plan, non-qualified plan or other benefit plan, Awards to a Participant (including the grant and the receipt of benefits) under the Plan shall be disregarded for purposes of determining the Participant’s benefits under, or contributions to, any Qualified Retirement Plan, non-qualified plan and any other benefit plans maintained by the Participant’s employer. The term “Qualified Retirement Plan” means any plan of the Company or a Subsidiary that is intended to be qualified under Code Section 401(a).

Section 7.14. Validity. If any provision of this Plan is determined to be illegal or invalid for any reason, said illegality or invalidity shall not affect the remaining parts of the Plan, but this Plan shall be construed and enforced as if the illegal or invalid provision has never been included herein.

A-12

Section 7.15. Notice. Unless otherwise provided in an Award Agreement, all written notices and all other written communications to the Company provided for in the Plan or in any Award Agreement, shall be delivered personally or sent by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid (provided that international mail shall be sent via overnight or two-day delivery), or sent by facsimile, email or prepaid overnight courier to the Company at its principal executive office. Notices, demands, claims and other communications shall be deemed given: (a) in the case of delivery by overnight service with guaranteed next day delivery, the next day or the day designated for delivery; (b) in the case of certified or registered U.S. mail, five (5) days after deposit in the U.S. mail; or (c) in the case of facsimile or email, the date upon which the transmitting party received confirmation of receipt; provided, however, that in no event shall any such communications be deemed to be given later than the date they are actually received, provided they are actually received.

If a communication is not received, it shall only be deemed received upon the showing of an original of the applicable receipt, registration or confirmation from the applicable delivery service. Communications that are to be delivered by U.S. mail or by overnight service to the Company shall be directed to the attention of the Company’s Corporate Secretary, unless otherwise provided in the Award Agreement.

Section 7.16. Forfeiture Events. The Committee may specify in an Award Agreement that the Participant’s rights, payments, and benefits with respect to an Award shall be subject to reduction, cancellation, forfeiture or recoupment upon the occurrence of certain specified events, in addition to any otherwise applicable vesting or performance conditions of an Award. These events include, but are not limited to, termination of employment for Cause, termination of the Participant’s provision of Services to the Company or any Subsidiary, violation of material Company or Subsidiary policies, breach of noncompetition, confidentiality, or other restrictive covenants that may apply to the Participant, or other conduct of the Participant that is detrimental to the business or reputation of the Company or any Subsidiary.

Section 7.17. Awards Subject to Company Policies and Restrictions.

(a)Clawback Policies. Awards granted hereunder are subject to any Clawback Policy maintained by the Company, whether pursuant to the provisions of Section 954 of the Dodd-Frank Act, implementing regulations thereunder, or otherwise. If the Company is required to prepare an accounting restatement due to the material noncompliance of the Company, as a result of misconduct, with any financial reporting requirement under the federal securities laws, and the automatic forfeiture provisions under Section 304 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 apply as a result, any Participant who was an executive officer of the Company at the time of grant or at the time of restatement shall be subject to “clawback” as if the person were subject to Section 304 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002.

(b)Trading Policy Restrictions. Option exercises and other Awards under the Plan shall be subject to the Company’s insider trading policies and procedures, as in effect from time to time.

(c)Hedging/Pledging Policy Restrictions. Awards under the Plan shall be subject to the Company’s policies relating to hedging and pledging as such may be in effect from time to time.

Section 7.18. Automatic Exercise. In the sole discretion of the Committee exercised in accordance with Section 5.2(a), any Stock Options that are exercisable but unexercised as of the day immediately before the tenth anniversary of the date of grant (or other expiration date) may be automatically exercised, in accordance with procedures established for this purpose by the Committee, but only if the Exercise Price is less than the Fair Market Value of a share of Stock on that date and the automatic exercise will result in the issuance of at least one (1) whole share of Stock to the Participant after payment of the Exercise Price and any applicable tax withholding requirements. Payment of the Exercise Price of a Stock Option and any applicable tax withholding requirements with respect to Stock Options shall be made by a net settlement of the Stock Option whereby the number of shares of Stock to be issued upon exercise are reduced by a number of shares having a Fair Market Value on the date of exercise equal to the Exercise Price and any applicable tax withholding.

Section 7.19. Regulatory Requirements. The grant and settlement of Awards shall be conditioned upon and subject to compliance with Section 18(k) of the Federal Deposit Insurance Act, 12 U.S.C. 1828(k), and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder.

A-15

(iii)the relocation of the Company’s office(s) at which the Participant is principally employed as of the date of a Change in Control (the “Current Offices”) to any other location more than thirty-five (35) miles from the Current Offices, or the requirement by the Company or any affiliate for whom the Participant primarily works for the Participant to be based at a location more than thirty-five (35) miles from the Current Offices, except for required travel on business to an extent substantially consistent with the Participant’s business travel obligations during the twelve (12)-month period immediately preceding the Change in Control.

“Performance Award” means an Award that vests in whole or in part upon the achievement of one or more specified performance measures, as determined by the Committee. The conditions for grant or vesting and the other provisions of a Performance Award (including without limitation any applicable performance measures) need not be the same with respect to each recipient. A Performance Award shall vest, or as to Restricted Stock Units be settled, after the Committee has determined that the performance goals have been satisfied. Performance measures may be based on the performance of the Company as a whole or on any one or more Subsidiaries or business units of the Company or a Subsidiary and may be measured relative to a peer group, an index or a business plan and may be considered as absolute measures or changes in measures. The terms of an Award may provide that partial achievement of performance measures may result in partial payment or vesting of the award or that the achievement of the performance measures may be measured over more than one period or fiscal year. In establishing any performance measures, the Committee may provide for the exclusion of the effects of the certain items, including but not limited to the following: (i) extraordinary, unusual, and/or nonrecurring items of gain or loss; (ii) gains or losses on the disposition of a business; (iii) dividends declared on the Company’s stock; (iv) changes in tax or accounting principles, regulations or laws; or (v) expenses incurred in connection with a merger, branch acquisition or similar transaction. Subject to the preceding sentence, if the Committee determines that a change in the business, operations, corporate structure or capital structure of the Company or the manner in which the Company or its Subsidiaries conducts its business or other events or circumstances render current performance measures to be unsuitable, the Committee may modify the performance measures, in whole or in part, as the Committee deems appropriate. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, performance measures relating to any Award hereunder will be modified, to the extent applicable, to reflect a change in the outstanding shares of Stock of the Company by reason of any stock dividend or stock split, or a corporate transaction, such as a merger of the Company into another corporation, any separation of a corporation or any partial or complete liquidation by the Company or a Subsidiary. If a

A-16

Participant is promoted, demoted or transferred to a different business unit during a performance period, the Committee may determine that the selected performance measures or applicable performance period are no longer appropriate, in which case, the Committee, in its sole discretion, may: (i) adjust, change or eliminate the performance measures or change the applicable performance period; or (ii) cause to be made a cash payment to the Participant in an amount determined by the Committee

“Restricted Stock” or “Restricted Stock Award” has the meaning ascribed to it in Section 2.3(a).

“Restricted Stock Unit” has the meaning ascribed to it in Section 2.4(a).

“Retirement” or “Retired” means, unless otherwise specified in an Award Agreement, retirement from employment or service on or after attainment of age 65. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if an Employee or Director has not had a Termination of Service as defined in this Plan, the Employee or Director shall not be deemed to have Retired for purposes of forfeiture of non-vested Awards, vesting in Awards or reducing the exercise period of Options issued hereunder.

“SEC” means the United States Securities and Exchange Commission.

“Securities Act” means the Securities Act of 1933, as amended and the rules, regulations and guidance promulgated thereunder and modified from time to time.

“Service” means the uninterrupted provision of services as an Employee or Director of, or a Service Provider to, the Company or a Subsidiary, as the case may be, and includes service as a director emeritus or advisory director. Service will not be deemed interrupted in the case of (i) any approved leave of absence for military service or sickness, or for any other purpose approved by the Company or a Subsidiary, if the Employee’s right to re-employment is guaranteed either by a statute or by contract or under the policy pursuant to which the leave of absence was granted or if the Committee otherwise so provides in writing, (ii) transfers among the Company, any Subsidiary, or any successor entities, in any capacity of Employee, Director or Service Provider, or (iii) any change in status as long as the individual remains in the service of the Company or a Subsidiary in any capacity of Employee, Director or Service Provider (except as otherwise provided in the Award Agreement).

“Service Provider” means any natural person (other than an Director, solely with respect to rendering services in such person’s capacity as a Director) who is engaged by the Company or any Subsidiary to render consulting or advisory services to the Company or the Subsidiary and the services are not in connection with the offer or sale of securities in a capital-raising transaction and do not directly or indirectly promote or maintain a market for the Company’s securities.

“Stock” means the common stock of the Company, $0.01 par value per share.

“Stock Option” has the meaning ascribed to it in Section 2.2.

“Subsidiary(ies)” means any corporation, affiliate, bank or other entity which would be a subsidiary corporation with respect to the Company as defined in Code Section 424(f) and, other than with respect to an ISO, also means any partnership or joint venture in which the Company and/or other Subsidiary owns more than 50% of the capital or profits interests.

“Termination of Service” means the first day occurring on or after a grant date on which the Participant ceases to be an Employee or Director (including a director emeritus or advisory director) of, or Service Provider to, the Company or any Subsidiary, regardless of the reason for such cessation, subject to the following:

(i)The Participant’s cessation of Service as an Employee shall not be deemed to occur by reason of the transfer of the Participant between the Company and a Subsidiary or between two Subsidiaries. Unless the Committee determines otherwise, an Employee Participant shall not be deemed to have a Termination of Service if such Participant remains in the Service of the Company or a Subsidiary as a Service Provider.

A-17

(ii)The Participant’s cessation as an Employee shall not be deemed to occur by reason of the Participant’s being on a bona fide leave of absence from the Company or a Subsidiary approved by the Company or Subsidiary otherwise receiving the Participant’s Services, provided the leave of absence does not exceed six (6) months, or if longer, so long as the Employee retains a right to reemployment with the Company or Subsidiary under an applicable statute or by contract. For these purposes, a leave of absence constitutes a bona fide leave of absence only if there is a reasonable expectation that the Employee will return to perform Services for the Company or Subsidiary. If the period of leave exceeds six (6) months and the Employee does not retain a right to reemployment under an applicable statute or by contract, the employment relationship is deemed to terminate on the first day immediately following the six-month period. For purposes of this sub-section, to the extent applicable, an Employee’s leave of absence shall be interpreted by the Committee in a manner consistent with Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(h)(1).

(iii)If, as a result of a sale or other transaction, the Subsidiary for whom Participant is employed (or to whom the Participant is providing Services) ceases to be a Subsidiary, and the Participant is not, following the transaction, an Employee of the Company or an entity that is then a Subsidiary, then the occurrence of the transaction shall be treated as the Participant’s Termination of Service caused by the Participant being discharged by the entity by which the Participant is employed or to which the Participant is providing Services.

(iv)Except to the extent Code Section 409A may be applicable to an Award, and subject to the foregoing paragraphs of this sub-section, the Committee shall have discretion to determine if a Termination of Service has occurred and the date on which it occurred. If any Award under the Plan constitutes Deferred Compensation (as defined in Section 2.6), the term Termination of Service shall be interpreted by the Committee in a manner consistent with the definition of “Separation from Service” as defined under Code Section 409A and under Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(h)(ii). For purposes of this Plan, a “Separation from Service” shall have occurred if the employer and Participant reasonably anticipate that no further Services will be performed by the Participant after the date of the Termination of Service (whether as an employee or as an independent contractor) or the level of further Services performed will be less than 50% of the average level of bona fide Services in the thirty-six (36) months immediately preceding the Termination of Service. If a Participant is a “Specified Employee,” as defined in Code Section 409A and any payment to be made hereunder shall be determined to be subject to Code Section 409A, then if required by Code Section 409A, the payment or a portion of the payment (to the minimum extent possible) shall be delayed and shall be paid on the first day of the seventh month following Participant’s Separation from Service.

(v)With respect to a Participant who is a Director, cessation as a Director will not be deemed to have occurred if the Participant continues as a director emeritus or advisory director. With respect to a Participant who is both an Employee and a Director, termination of employment as an Employee shall not constitute a Termination of Service for purposes of the Plan so long as the Participant continues to provide Service as a Director or director emeritus or advisory director.
