The executive has no right to compensation or other benefits pursuant to the employment agreement for any period after termination by Quaint Oak Bank for cause, as defined in the agreements. In the event that the employment agreements are terminated by Quaint Oak Bank other than for cause or by the executives as a result of certain adverse actions which are taken with respect to their employment following a change in control, as defined, of Quaint Oak Bank, then the executives will be entitled to a lump sum cash severance amount equal to 2.99 times their average annual compensation for the last three calendar years, subject to reduction pursuant to Section 280G of the Code, as set forth below.

     A change in control is generally defined in the employment agreement to mean a change in the ownership or effective control of Quaint Oak Bancorp or Quaint Oak Bank or a change in the ownership of a substantial portion of the assets of Quaint Oak Bancorp or Quaint Oak Bank, in each case as provided under Section 409A of the Code and the regulations thereunder.

     The employment agreements provide that, in the event any of the payments to be made thereunder are deemed to constitute “parachute payments” within the meaning of Section 280G of the Code, then such payments and benefits shall be reduced by the minimum necessary to result in the payments not exceeding three times the executive’s average annual compensation from Quaint Oak Bank that was includable in his gross income during the most recent five taxable years ending prior to the year in which the change in control occurs. As a result, the severance payment in the event of a change in control will not be subject to a 20% excise tax, and Quaint Oak Bank will be able to deduct such payment as compensation expense for federal income tax purposes.

     In the event that prior to a change in control the employment agreement is terminated by Quaint Oak Bank other than for cause or the executive’s death or disability, or by the executive for “good reason,” as defined, then Quaint Oak Bank will pay the executive a lump sum cash severance payment equal to three times his current base salary within 30 days following his termination. Upon his death or disability, Quaint Oak Bank shall pay the executive or his estate or legal representative, a lump sum cash severance payment equal to one times his current base salary within 30 days following the date of termination of employment, plus a lump sum equal to the prorated portion of the bonus that would have been paid if he had remained employed for the full calendar year, based upon the portion of the year that he was able to perform his duties prior to his death or disability.

Retirement Benefits

     Retirement benefits are an important element of a competitive compensation program for attracting senior executives, especially in the financial services industry. Our executive compensation program currently includes (i) a 401(k) profit sharing plan which enables our employees to supplement their retirement savings with elective deferral contributions and permits matching and discretionary contributions by us, and (ii) an employee stock ownership plan that allows participants to accumulate retirement benefits in the form of employer stock at no current cost to the participant.

     401(k) and Profit Sharing Plan. We adopted the Quaint Oak Bank 401(k) Plan effective May 1, 2012. To participate in the 401(k) Plan, eligible employees must have completed two months of full time service and attained age 21. Participating employees may make elective salary reduction contributions of up to $19,500,$22,500 of their eligible compensation for 2021.2023. Quaint Oak Bank may contribute a matching contribution to the plan in an amount it determines each year. We are also permitted to make discretionary profit sharing contributions to be allocated to participant accounts.

Employee Stock Ownership Plan. In connection with the initial public offering of Quaint Oak Bancorp in July 2007, we establishedmaintains an employee stock ownership plan for the benefit of our eligible employees. The employee stock ownership plan acquired 222,180 shares of Quaint Oak Bancorp’s common stock (as adjusted for the two-for-one stock split) utilizing a $1.0 million loan from Quaint Oak Bancorp. The original loan to the employee stock ownership plan had a term of 15 years and was fully repaid as of September 30, 2021. Shares were released for allocation to employees’ accounts as the debt service payments were made. We may, at our discretion, make additional contributions of shares to the employee stock ownership plan and contributed 4,00011,320 shares for the quarteryear ended December 31, 2021.2023. Shares released from the suspense account or contributed to the employee stock ownership plan are allocated to each eligible participant's plan account pro rata based on compensation. Forfeitures may be used for the payment of expenses or be reallocated among the remaining participants. Participants become 100% vested after six years of service or normal retirement age. Participants also become fully vested in their account balances upon a change in control (as defined), death or disability. Benefits may be payable upon retirement or separation from service.

Related Party Transactions

         Certain of our directors and executive officers as well as members of their immediate families and others who are considered “related persons” under Item 404 of Regulation S-K of the SEC are also customers of Quaint Oak Bank. Any loans to related persons are 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 persons not related to Quaint Oak Bank. We had no loans outstanding to our directors, executive officers, any of their immediate family members or any related persons at December 31, 2023.

The Board of Directors recommends that you vote FOR the ratification of the appointment

of S.R. Snodgrass, P.C. as our independent registered public accounting firm

for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2022.2024.

     The Audit Committee has reviewed and discussed Quaint Oak Bancorp’s audited consolidated financial statements with management. The Audit Committee has discussed with the independent registered public accounting firm the matters required to be discussed in PCAOB Auditing Standard No. 16, (Communications with Audit Committees). The Audit Committee has received the written disclosures and the letter from the independent accountant required by applicable requirements of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board regarding the independent accountant’s communications with the Audit Committee concerning independence and has discussed with the independent accountant their independence. Based on the review and discussions referred to above in this report, the Audit Committee recommended to the Board of Directors that the audited consolidated financial statements be included in Quaint Oak Bancorp’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for fiscal year ended December 31, 2021,2023, for filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Pursuant to Section 951 of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (the “Dodd-Frank Act”), the proxy rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission were amended to require that not less frequently than once every three years, a proxy statement for an annual meeting of shareholders for which the proxy solicitation rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission require compensation disclosure must also include a separate resolution subject to shareholder vote to approve the compensation of the company’s named executive officers disclosed in the proxy statement.

The executive officers named in the summary compensation table and deemed to be “named executive officers” are Messrs. Strong, Augustine and Gonzalez.  Reference is made to the summary compensation table and disclosures set forth under “Executive Compensation” in this proxy statement.

The proposal gives shareholders the ability to vote on the compensation of our named executive officers through the following resolution:

“Resolved, that the shareholders approve the compensation of the named executive officers as disclosed in this proxy statement.”

The shareholder vote on this proposal is not binding on Quaint Oak Bancorp or the Board of Directors and cannot be construed as overruling any decision made by the Board of Directors.  However, the Board of Directors of Quaint Oak Bancorp will review the voting results on the non-binding resolution and take them into consideration when making future decisions regarding executive compensation.

The Board of Directors recommends that you vote FOR the non-binding resolution

to approve the compensation of our named executive officers.

     The following tables below set forth, as of March 22, 2022,19, 2024, the voting record date, certain information as to our common stock beneficially owned by (a) each person or entity, including any “group” as that term is used in Section 13(d)(3) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 who or which was known to us to be the beneficial owner of more than 5% of our issued and outstanding common stock, (b) our directors, (c) certain executive officers of Quaint Oak Bancorp and/or Quaint Oak Bank, and (d) all directors and executive officers as a group.

_______________________

(1)        Based upon filings made with the Securities and Exchange Commission and information furnished by the respective individuals. Pursuant to regulations under the Securities

             Exchange Act of 1934, shares of common stock are deemed to be beneficially owned by a person if he or she directly or indirectly has or shares (a) voting power, which includes

             the power to vote or to direct the voting of the shares, or (b) investment power, which includes the power to dispose or to direct the disposition of the shares. Unless otherwise

             indicated, the named beneficial owner has sole voting and dispositive power with respect to the shares. A person is deemed to have beneficial ownership of any shares of

             common stock which may be acquired within 60 days of the record date pursuant to the exercise of outstanding stock options.

(2)        Each beneficial owner’s percentage ownership is determined by assuming that options held by such person (but not those held by any other person) and that are exercisable

             within 60 days of the voting record date have been exercised.

(3)        Mr. John J. Augustine and Ms. Diane J. Colyer act as trustees of the Quaint Oak Bancorp, Inc. Employee Stock Ownership Plan Trust. As of March 22, 2022, 193,20719, 2024, 212,099 shares

             held in the plan trust were allocated to individual accounts established for participating employees. In general, the allocated shares held in the plan trust as of March 22 2022,19, 2024,

             will be voted by the plan trustees in accordance with the instructions of the participants. Unallocated shares, if any, are generally required to be voted by the plan trustees for or

             against proposals to shareholders in the same proportion as the shares of Company Stock which have been allocated to the accounts of individual participants and their

             beneficiaries are actually voted thereby, subject to each case to the fiduciary duties of the plan trustees and applicable law. The amount of our common stock beneficially

             owned by officers who serve as plan trustees and by all directors and executive officers as a group does not include the shares held by the plan trust other than shares
