Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers

 

(d)          On January 17, 2013, the Board of Directors of Kentucky First Federal Bancorp (the “Company”) appointed W. Banks Hudson and William H. Johnson as directors of the Company. Mr. Hudson was appointed to the class of directors with terms expiring at the 2013 annual meeting of stockholders, and Mr. Johnson was appointed to the class of directors with terms expiring at the 2014 annual meeting of stockholders. Messrs. Hudson and Johnson were appointed as directors of the Company pursuant to the provisions of the Agreement of Merger, dated as of November 3, 2011 and amended as of September 28, 2012, by and among the Company, CKF Bancorp, Inc. (“CKF”) and Central Kentucky Federal Savings Bank (the “Agreement”). In the Agreement, the Company agreed to appoint Messrs. Hudson and Johnson as directors of the Company as soon as practical following the effective time of the merger of CKF with and into the Company.

 

The Company is the holding company for two banks, First Federal Savings and Loan Association of Hazard (“First Federal of Hazard”) and First Federal Savings Bank of Frankfort (“First Federal of Frankfort.”) First Federal of Hazard and First Federal of Frankfort both offer loans to their directors and executive officers. These loans 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 transactions with other persons and did not involve more than the normal risk of collectibility or present other unfavorable features.
