(e)           On May 15, 2015, Malvern Bancorp, Inc. (the “Company”) and its wholly owned subsidiary, Malvern Federal Savings Bank (the “Bank”), entered into an employment agreement with Anthony C. Weagley, Chief Executive Officer and President of the Company and the Bank.
 
The employment agreement with Mr. Weagley has a one-year term, provided, however, that unless any party gives notice to the contrary (a “Non-Renewal Notice”), the employment agreement will be renewed on an annual basis for an additional year. The employment agreement provides for an initial base salary of $300,000 per year, subject to increase. In addition, the employment agreement provides for the payment of an annual bonus to Mr. Weagley at a target level of 20% of his annual base salary, or a greater amount if determined by the Compensation Committee, upon meeting agreed-upon performance goals. With respect to the period from October 1, 2014 through March 31, 2015, Mr. Weagley is eligible to receive a bonus of up to $30,000, based on the achievement of Bank and personal performance goals, as determined by the board of directors. The employment agreement also provides that Mr. Weagley will receive a special bonus of $50,000 in the event that the Bank is not subject to a formal agreement with any bank regulatory agency as of December 31, 2015. Under the terms of the employment agreement, Mr. Weagley also is entitled to participate in the employee benefit plans maintained by the Company and the Bank, to a car allowance and to reimbursement of customary and usual business expenses including hotel/short-term lodging in the Malvern, Pennsylvania area.
 
The employment agreement with Mr. Weagley is terminable with or without cause by the Company or the Bank.  In the event that Mr. Weagley’s employment is involuntarily terminated by the Company or the Bank without cause, as defined, and other than for death or disability, or if the Company or the Bank terminate the employment agreement pursuant to a Non-Renewal Notice, or if Mr. Weagley voluntarily terminates his employment for good reason, as defined, then Mr. Weagley will be entitled to receive a lump sum cash payment equal to one year of his annual base salary. The employment agreement with Mr. Weagley provides that in the event any of the payments to be made thereunder or otherwise upon termination of employment are deemed to constitute “parachute payments” within the meaning of Section 280G of the Internal Revenue Code (the “Code”), payments and benefits received thereunder shall be reduced by the amount necessary to result in no portion of the payments resulting in the imposition of an excise tax being imposed under Section 4999 of the Code. The employment agreement also includes certain non-compete provisions as well as a provision that any bonuses and incentive based compensation is subject to recovery by the Company or the Bank in the event that such bonuses or incentive compensation were based on materially inaccurate financial statements or other materially inaccurate performance metric criteria.
