5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer
Contrarian is no longer considered a Reporting Person. On November 30, 2010, Contrarian transferred their shares of the Company to 2514 MSF due to an internal consolidation of limited partnerships.
On January 7, 2011, SAL sent a letter to Mr. Frank Kovalcheck ("Kovalcheck"), Corporate Secretary of the Company, nominating Manuel Kursky ("Kursky") and Dennis Pollack ("Pollack") for election to the Company's Board of Directors at the Company's next Annual Meeting of Shareholders. A copy of this letter and the enclosures are attached hereto as Exhibit A.

On January 10, 2011, SAL received a letter from Hugh Wilkinson ("Wilkinson") of Elias, Matz, Tiernan & Herrick LLP, counsel representing ABBC. The letter indicated that SAL's notice to nominate directors for the 2011 Annual Meeting of Shareholders was provided after the due date and therefore, the individuals would not be considered as nominees to the Company's Board of Directors in 2011 and that SAL failed to provide certain information required by Section 3.12(b) of the Company's Bylaws.
On January 13, 2011, SAL sent a letter to Mr. Wilkinson acknowledging that after further review of the Company's Bylaws, that Mr. Wilkinson was correct that the nominations SAL made for ABBC's 2011 Annual Meeting of Shareholders were not timely, however, SAL disagrees that the nomination material failed to provide the information required by Section 3.12(b) of ABBC's Bylaws. A copy of this letter is attached hereto as Exhibit B.
On January 13, 2011, SAL sent a letter to Mr. Kovalcheck re-filing the nominating material for the ABBC 2012 Annual Meeting of Shareholders. A copy of this letter and the enclosures are attached hereto as Exhibit C.
(a)(b)(c) As of the close of business on January 6, 2011, the Reporting Persons owned beneficially an aggregate of 1,209,943 shares of Common Stock, which constituted approximately 6.00% of the 20,165,448 shares of Common Stock outstanding on November 2, 2010 as disclosed in the Company's 10-Q dated November 9, 2010.
Schedule A attached below describes transactions, except for previously reported transactions, in the Common Stock effected by the Reporting Persons within the past sixty (60) days. Except as set forth in this Item 5, none of the Reporting Persons owns beneficially or has a right to acquire beneficial ownership of any Common Stock. All shares were purchased in the open market.

PROXY STATEMENT OF THE ABINGTON BANCORP, INC.
COMMITTEE TO PRESERVE SHAREHOLDER VALUE (THE "COMMITTEE")
[OPPOSES THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF ABINGTON BANCORP, INC.]
This Proxy Statement and WHITE proxy card are being furnished to holders of the common stock (the "Shareholders"),(the "Common Stock") of Abington Bancorp, Inc. (the "Company") a Pennsylvania Corporation, in connection with the solicitation of proxies (the "Proxy Solicitation") by the Abington Bancorp, Inc. Committee to Preserve Shareholder Value (the "Committee"). The Annual Meeting of Shareholders is to be held on May , 2011. Please refer t o the Company's proxy statement for the time and location of this meeting (the "Annual Meeting"). Shareholders who own the Common Stock on April , 2011 will be entitled to vote ("Annual Meeting Record Date"). The Company's principal executive offices are located at 180 Old York Road, Jenkintown, Pennsylvania 19046.
At the Annual Meeting, the Company will be seeking (i) the election of three Directors for a term of three years or until a successor has been elected and qualified and (ii)to transact such other business as may properly come before the Annual Meeting.
The Committee members own approximately 1,209,943 shares, which represents 5.99% of the Company's outstanding Common Stock, as of April , 2011, based upon the Company's Preliminary Proxy Statement and are soliciting the votes of other Shareholders to elect two (2) Directors for a three year term at this year's Annual Meeting in opposition to the three (3) directors nominated for election by the Company. The Committee is soliciting your proxy in support of the election of Manuel Kursky ("Kursky") and Dennis Pollack ("Pollack") (the "Committee Nominees") to the Company's Board of Directors.
The Committee consists of the Committee Nominees, Seidman and Associates, LLC ("SAL"), a New Jersey Limited Liability Company; Seidman Investment Partnership, LP ("SIP"), a New Jersey Limited Partnership; Seidman Investment Partnership II, LP ("SIP II"), a New Jersey Limited Partnership; LSBK06-08, LLC ("LSBK"), a New Jersey Limited Liability Company; Broad Park Investors, LLC (“Broad Park”), a New Jersey Limited Liability Company; CBPS, LLC ("CBPS"), a New York Limited Liability Company; and 2514 Multi-Strategy Fund, LP ("2514 MSF"), a Delaware Limited Partnership; Kursky, Pollack, Lawrence Seidman ("Seidman") and certain Seidman discretionary clients ("Seidman Clients"). This Proxy Statement and WHITE proxy card are being first mailed or furnished to Shareholder s on or about April , 2011
The Committee's goal is to preserve shareholder value and it is the opinion of the Committee that one of the best ways to accomplish this goal is through the representation of significant shareholders on the Board of Directors. Through representation on the Board of Directors, the Committee's Nominees will attempt to persuade the Board of Directors to: (i) accelerate the repurchase of stock pursuant to the Company’s present authorized share repurchase program; and (ii) retain an investment banker to determine the value of the Company in a sale versus remaining independent.
Remember, your last dated proxy is the only one that counts, so return the WHITE card even if you delivered a prior proxy. We urge you not to return any proxy card sent to you by the Company.
Your vote is important, no matter how many or how few shares you hold. If your shares are held in the name of a brokerage firm, bank, or nominee, only they can vote your shares, and only upon receipt of your specific instructions. Accordingly, please return the WHITE proxy card in the envelope provided by your Bank or Broker or contact the person responsible for your account and give instructions for such shares to be voted for the Committee Nominees. Every Shareholder should be aware that if his shares are held through a bank, brokerage
1
Exhibit A
firm, or other nominee, they will not be able to change their vote at the Annual Meeting, unless they obtain a legal proxy from the bank, brokerage firm, or other nominee. Since this is a contested election for directors, there should not be any broker non-votes. Broker non-votes occur when a bank or brokerage firm holding shares on behalf of a shareholder does not receive voting instructions from the shareholder by a specified date before the Annual Meeting and the bank or brokera ge firm is not permitted to vote those undirected shares on specified matters under applicable stock exchange rules. Thus, if you do not give your broker specific instructions, your shares may not be voted on those matters and will not be counted in determining the number of shares necessary for approval.
If your shares are registered in more than one name, the WHITE proxy card should be signed by all such persons to ensure that all shares are voted for the Committee's Nominees.
Holders of record of shares of Common Stock on the Annual Meeting Record Date are urged to submit a proxy, even if such shares have been sold after that date. The number of shares of Common Stock outstanding as of the Annual Meeting Record Date is disclosed in the Company's proxy statement. Each share of Common Stock is entitled to one vote at the Annual Meeting.
If you have any questions or need assistance in voting your shares, please call:

Exhibit A
THE COMMITTEE'S GOAL:
OUR GOAL IS TO MAXIMIZE THE VALUE
OF THE COMPANY'S STOCK FOR ALL
SHAREHOLDERS
The Committee believes its fellow Shareholders have the same goal: to maximize the value of the Company's stock they purchased. The Committee believes that the Company should immediately retain an investment banker to analyze the Company's value in a sale versus remaining independent to assist the Company's Board in reaching an informed decision on how to maximize shareholder value. An investment banking firm would be able to provide the Board with invaluable statistical and market data that the Company could not obtain on its own. This information should assist the Board in making an informed financial decision. In addition, the investment banker would also be asked to evaluate whether the Company can make in-market acquisitions that are accretive (acquisitions that will add to the earn ings per share of the Company within one year) and hopefully suggest ways to improve the Company’s profitability.
The only way the Committee can be assured that its proposals receive appropriate consideration is through Board representation. The Committee has urged management to pursue acquisition/merger discussions with potentially interested banks so the Company could properly compare the economic benefits of an acquisition of other financial institutions to a sale of the Company.
No guarantee, or assurance, can be given that the Committee's proposals would result in a maximization of shareholder value. It is simply, and solely, the Committee's opinion that these proposals are likely to produce positive results for all Shareholders.
THE COMPANY'S CONVERSION
FROM A MUTUAL TO PUBLIC COMPANY
The Company converted from a mutual to a mutual holding company in December, 2004. In June, 2007 the Company converted from a mutual holding company to a 100% public company. When the Company converted to a 100% public company, the Company issued 13,965,000 new shares at $10.00 per share and issued 10,495,446 shares of its stock in exchange for the previous outstanding shares. Each share of the former mid-tier company's common stock was converted into exactly 1.6 shares of the new company stock. As of March 31, 2007, the Company's total stockholder equity was approximately $116 million. The Company raised approximately $135 million in new stockholder equity from the second step conversion. As of September 30, 2010 the Company's stockholder equity was $213 million.
THE COMPANY'S SHARE
REPURCHASE PROGRAM
The following chart shows the Company's share repurchase activity since completing its second step conversion to a 100% public company. It is clear that in 2010 the Company reduced the amount of shares it repurchased. The Committee Nominees would strongly urge the Company to accelerate the Company's share repurchaser program.

Exhibit A
THE COMPANY'S EARNINGS FROM
CALENDAR YEAR 2004 TO 2010
The following chart shows the calendar year earnings for the Company from 2004 to 2010:
20041 | 20052 | 20062 | 2007 | 2008 | 2009 | 2010 | |
4,555 | 6,302 | 6,802 | 7,067 | 2,120 | (7,193) | ||
Diluted Earnings Per Share | N/A | $0.26 | $0.28 | $0.30 | $0.09 | ($0.36) |
It is clear that the Company's earnings since its second step conversion have been disappointing.
1 Due to the timing of the Company’s reorganization into a mutual holding company form and the completion of the Company’s initial public offering on December 16, 2004, earnings per share for the period from December 16, 2004 to December 31, 2004 are not considered meaningful and were not shown (Form 10-K for period ending December 31, 2005, page 64).
2 Earnings per share for these periods have been adjusted to reflect the impact of the second-step conversion and the reorganization of the Company which occurred on June 27, 2007. (Form 10-K for the period ending December 31, 2007.)
LACK OF RETURN ON $135 MILLION
SECOND STEP CONVERSION CAPITAL
Since the Shareholders gave the Company approximately $135 million in June, 2007, the Shareholders, as shown above, have received virtually no return on this additional capital. In calendar years 2008 and 2009, the Company earned less money than before this additional capital was raised and in 2010, the earnings were negligible in comparison to 2007. The primary cause of the Company's poor earnings was the significant losses it incurred from the Company's rush into risky construction lending (as shown below) after it completed its second step conversion.
THE COMPANY'S 2005
BENEFIT PLAN
At the Company's June 23, 2005 Annual Meeting, the Company approved its 2005 Stock Option Plan ("Stock Option") and 2005 Recognition and Retention Plan and Trust Agreement ("Restricted Stock"); authorizing the issuance of 714,150 Stock Options and 285,660 shares of Restricted Stock. In the Proxy Statement for the June 2005 Annual Meeting, the Company stated that one of the purposes of the Stock Option and Restricted Stock plans was to provide an incentive to the Company's management and Board to contribute to the success of the Company. (June 23, 2005 Proxy Statement pages 14-20.)
Shortly after the June 23, 2005 approval of the incentive stock plans, the Company rushed and purchased (in the open market) the 285,660 shares, for approximately $3.7 million, an average price of $12.95 per share. Then on July 5, 2005, the Company granted all the 285,660 shares to certain officers, employees and directors of the Company. In addition, of the 714,150 Stock Options, 643,250 were also issued on July 5, 2005. Only 70,900 shares were reserved for future issuance (Form 10-Q for the period ending September 30, 2005, pages 19-20.)
What was the Company's success that justified the issuance of approximately 90% of the Stock Options and all the Restricted Stock between June 23, 2005 and July 5, 2005? ABSOLUTELY NOTHING!
Unfortunately, the Stock Option and Restricted Stock plans do not provide for a clawback provision to allow the Company to recapture any of the Stock Options and Restricted Stock that were so hastily granted if the recipients did not contribute to the Company's success. As the Company's earnings clearly demonstrate, the Company's management has not been successful, but the recipients of the Stock Options and Restricted Stock plans still benefitted. The Shareholders surely did not receive the benefit of their bargain.
In the Committee's opinion, the Company's granting of 90% of the Stock Options and all the Restricted Stock was unwarranted in such a short time period.

Exhibit A
SIGNIFICANT INCREASE IN CONSTRUCTION
LENDING PRINCIPALLY SINCE
THE SECOND STEP CONVERSION
The following chart shows the significant increase in the Company's construction loans from December 31, 2004 to December 31, 2010. After raising the approximate $135 million in the second step conversion, the Company began to increase its construction lending. As is well known, construction lending has greater risk than most other types of lending conductd by community banks. Notwithstanding this higher risk, the Company, without proper underwriting and expertise, dove head first into this high risk lending category. In the Committee's opinion, the Company chose high yield construction lending over prudent slow asset growth.
The losses in the construction loan portfolio were the primary reason for the Company's poor earnings in calendar years 2008 and 2009.
2004 | 2005 | 2006 | 2007 | 2008 | 2009 | 2010 | |
Construction loans | 83,253 | 75,099 | 89,638 | 112,912 | 164,745 | 149,443 |
This significant increase in construction lending, especially after the second step conversion, is what led to the significant increase in the Company's non-performing assets.
INCREASED NON-PERFORMING ASSETS
SINCE THE SECOND STEP CONVERSION
The following chart shows the significant increase in the non-performing assets, construction loans and loan loss provision since the Company's 2007 second step conversion. The increase in non-performing construction loans is what caused the significant increase in the Company's non-performing assets.
2007 | 2008 | 2009 | 2010 | |
Non-performing assets* | $3,108,000 | $25,242,000 | $57,409,000 | |
Non-performing construction loans | ||||
Loan loss provision* | $457,000 | $9,760,000 | $18,737,000 |

THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS
SHOULD BE DE-CLASSIFIED
If the Committee Nominees are elected they will propose an amendment to the Company’s By-Laws to de-classify the Board so that all the directors will stand for election each year. Presently the Board is split into three classes with approximately one-third (1/3) of the Board standing for election each year. The Committee Nominees will need the support of two additional Board members to gain Board approval for its amendment to de-classify the Board.
THEREFORE A VOTE FOR THE COMMITTEE NOMINEES IS A VOTE TO
START THE PROCESS TO ACCELERATE THE SHARE REPURCHASE PROGRAM,
ATTEMPT TO DO AN ACCRETIVE ACQUISITION, AND IF NOT POSSIBLE,
SELL THE COMPANY FOR A PREMIUM PRICE, WHICH IS OPPOSED BY
THE PRESENT BOARD AND MANAGEMENT
Each Shareholder should be aware that the present election is only to elect three Directors to the Board of Directors of the Company (the Committee is running two nominees) and has nothing to do with the election of Directors for the Bank, the
5
Exhibit A
principal operating subsidiary of the Company. The present Directors of the Company, even if the Committee Nominees win this election, will still be able to appoint the Board of Directors of the Bank, including the Company Nominees, even if they lose the election.
The Committee Nominees, if elected, will (i) review in detail the Company’s business plan, (ii) discuss the Company’s business plan with the Company’s management, advisors, and the other directors and (iii) based upon their past business experience, make recommendations they believe will have the effect of increasing the Company’s net income, earnings per share, earning assets and deposits. There is no assurance that the Committee Nominees would have any suggestions that the Company had not already considered. Furthermore, there is no assurance that any suggestions made by the Committee Nominees would be approved by a majority of the Company’s Board. The Committ ee Nominees would however, request that the Company implement an aggressive stock repurchase program. In addition, the Committee Nominees would attempt to persuade the Company to pursue an accretive acquisition. The Board of Directors of the Company would have to determine a satisfactory price, which could be either all cash or stock or a combination of cash and stock. (The Board would have to make the same determination with respect to the consideration to be received in connection with a sale of the Company.) To accomplish the Committee's goal, the Committee Nominees, if elected, will need the cooperation of two of the other Directors. Furthermore, the Committee Nominees' plans could change, subject to the fiduciary duty they will owe to all Shareholders, if elected.
Shareholders will not be afforded a separate opportunity to vote on the implementation of a stock repurchase program. Shareholders will be required to vote on certain sales or mergers involving stock, but a cash acquisition may not require Shareholder approval.
MR. SEIDMAN'S PAST HISTORY WITH
CERTAIN FINANCIAL INSTITUTIONS
The following is Mr. Seidman’s history with respect to certain financial institutions. Shareholders should not imply a correlation between Mr. Seidman’s actions and the actions taken by the following financial institutions. It must be remembered, that with respect to the companies where Mr. Seidman, or his nominees, were on the board, they were a minority on the board. Where a company was sold after Mr. Seidman filed a Schedule 13D, and Mr. Seidman had no nominees on the Board, Mr. Seidman could not exert any influence on the board with respect to any decisions.
Seidman has been involved in proxy contests in connection with the following eleven separate companies since 1995, IBS Financial Corp. (“IBSF”), Wayne Bancorp, Inc. (“WYNE”), South Jersey Financial Corp., Inc. (“SJFC”), Citizens First Financial Corp. (“CFSB”), Yonkers Financial Corp. (“YFCB”), First Federal Savings and Loan Association of East Hartford (“FFES”), Vista Bancorp, Inc. (“Vista”), United National Bancorp (“UNBJ”), GA Financial, Inc. (“GAF”), Kankakee Bancorp, Inc. (“KNK”), and Yardville National Bancorp (“YANB”), seeking to maximize shareholder value by either an accretive acquisition or sale of the respective companies. IBSF, WYNE, SJFC, YFCB, F FES, VBNJ, UNBJ, GAF and YANB were sold at significant premiums to their book value and earnings, as shown by the following chart:
Seller | Buyer | Multiples [X] Book Value % | LTM EPS [X] | Director Nominees |
IBSF | Hudson United Bancorp | 1.87 | 38.4 | No Seidman director on Board |
WYNE | Valley National Bancorp | 2.00 | 35.1 | Seidman Nominee on Board |
SJFC | Richmond Cty. Fin. Corp. | 1.16 | 24.7 | Seidman and Seidman nominee on Board |
YFCB | Atlantic Bank of New York | 1.52 | 16.2 | No Seidman director on Board |
FFES | Connecticut Bancshares, Inc. | 1.37 | 13.5 | Seidman on Board by consent |
VBNJ | United National Bancorp | 2.52 | 19.6 | No Seidman director on Board |
UNBJ | PNC Fin. Svcs. Group, Inc. | 2.37 | 21.9 | No Seidman director on Board |

Exhibit A
Seidman was not successful in his proxy contest with IBSF, CFSB, VBNJ, UNBJ, YFCB, KNK or YANB. However, Seidman was successful in having CFSB conduct a Dutch Auction for 15% of its outstanding shares. Seidman had proposed this Dutch Auction and, in an agreement with CFSB, agreed to tender the shares he controlled into the auction and to execute a standstill agreement. CFSB’s counsel told Mr. Seidman that unless he was willing to tender his shares and enter into the Standstill Agreement, CFSB would not conduct the Dutch Auction. Thus, the Dutch Auction resulted in large measure from proposals made by, and actions undertaken, by Seidman. With respect to YFCB, Seidman continually pushed YFCB to sell. On November 14, 2001, YFCB announced a sale to Atlantic Bank of New York at $29.00 cas h per share, based upon the above ratios. The Board of Directors of FFES, CNY Financial Corp. (“CNYF”) and Ambanc Holding Co, Inc. (“AHCI”), each agreed voluntarily to increase by one (1) the size of the Board and Seidman was added to each respective Board. With respect to FFES, Seidman conducted a proxy contest to have the FFES Shareholders vote to rescind certain By-laws amendments. This proxy contest was successful. Thereafter, Seidman was added to the Board. CNYF was sold to Niagara Bancorp, Inc. at a premium price of 1.30 times book and 27.57 times its last twelve (12) month earnings. AHCI was sold to Hudson River Bancorp, Inc. at a premium price of 1.25 times book and 25.60 times its last twelve (12) months earnings.
Seidman filed a Schedule 13D disclosing a plan to maximize shareholder value of 1st Bergen Bancorp, Inc. ("FBER"), Eagle BancGroup, Inc. ("EGLB"), Jade Financial Corp. ("IGAF") and Alliance Bancorp of New England, Inc. ("ANE"). All four institutions were sold after the respective announcements. FBER was sold to Kearney Savings Bank for 1.78 times book value and 28.57 times earnings. EGLB was sold to First Busey Corporation ("FBC") for 1.41 times book value and 30.28 times earnings. IGAF was sold to PSB Bancorp, Inc. for 92% of book value and 26.06 times earnings. ANE was sold to New Alliance Bancshares, Inc. for 2.46 times book value and 19.39 times earnings. Except for IGAF, these companies were sold at a significant premium to book value and earnings and its prevailing stock price.
Mr. Seidman filed a Schedule 13D disclosing a plan to maximize shareholder value of First Federal Bancshares, Inc. (“FFBI”) and Central Bancorp, Inc. (“CEBK”). FFBI conducted a Dutch Auction for approximately 30% of its outstanding shares at $33.50. Mr. Seidman tendered his shares into the Dutch Auction, selling a significant percentage of his position at a significant profit and therefore was no longer required to file a Schedule 13D. Mr. Seidman, after significant litigation with CEBK, sold his entire position through public market sales at an approximate break-even price. CEBK is still publicly traded today.
On December 6, 2002, Michael A. Griffith was appointed to the KNK Board of Directors. Mr. Griffith is not affiliated with Mr. Seidman and Mr. Seidman did not recommend him to the Board of Directors. Mr. Griffith's appointment was part of an agreement with an investor group led by Jeffrey L. Gendell, which owned approximately 9.8% of KNK's outstanding shares. On January 17, 2003, KNK announced, among other things, the resignation of Larry Huffman, the President and Chief Executive Officer, and the election of Mr. Griffith as the new KNK Chairman.
On July 28, 2004 the Seidman Entities filed a Schedule 13D disclosing a plan to maximize shareholder value of Yardville National Bancorp ("YANB"). Mr. Seidman has had meetings with several Board members and senior management of YANB and in February, 2005, YANB retained Mr. Seidman as an independent consultant to help the company explore planning acquisition and growth opportunities. In November 2005, Mr. Seidman notified YANB, that in his opinion, YANB had breached the consulting agreement and that the consulting agreement was no longer valid. Mr. Seidman nominated three (3) directors to run against the YANB candidates at the 2006 annual meeting. The candidates nominated by Mr. Seidman were not successful. In addition, the Seidman Entities prosecuted claims against YANB in the Superior Court of New Jersey, including the application to void the results of the Annual Meeting and hold a new election. On June 6, 2007, PNC Financial Services Group Inc. (PNC) agreed to purchase YANB for $35.00 a share, based upon an exchange rate of .2923 shares of PNC common stock, and $14 in cash, for each YANB share. All litigation between YANB and Mr. Seidman was settled. The transaction closed on October 29, 2007.
On November 16, 2004 Mr. Seidman filed a Schedule 13D disclosing a plan to maximize shareholder value of Bridge Street Financial, Inc. (OCNB). Mr. Seidman requested representation on the board at OCNB’s September 21, 2005 Annual Meeting. Mr. Seidman’s representative was added to the Board. On April 24, 2006, Alliance Financial Corporation (ALNC) acquired OCNB for approximately $23.02 or 1.98 times book value and 44.28 times earnings.

Exhibit A
Clifton Savings Bancorp, Inc. ("CSBK") is a Federal corporation, organized as a mutual holding company. The Seidman Entities purchased an insignificant amount of CSBK shares and sold all but 1,000 shares. At the 2004 CSBK Annual Meeting, held on September 7, 2004, CSBK sought shareholder approval for (i) the election of two (2) directors and (ii) the Clifton Savings Bancorp, Inc. 2004 Stock-Based Incentive Plan (“Incentive Plan”). The Seidman Entities conducted a proxy contest to defeat the approval of the Incentive Pl an because of the excessive nature of its provisions. On September 1, 2004 CSBK withdrew the Incentive Plan from shareholder consideration at its Annual Meeting because of a letter it received from the Office of Thrift Supervision (OTS) requesting such action. At the 2005 CSBK Annual Meeting, held on July 14, 2005, CSBK sought approval for (i) the election of two (2) directors and (ii) the Clifton Savings Bancorp, Inc. 2005 Equity Incentive Plan (the 2005 Plan.) This 2005 Plan provided for approximately half the number of restricted stock and options quarterly. Mr. Seidman did not contest the shareholder approval of the 2005 Plan. The 2005 Plan was approved by the CSBK shareholders. Mr. Seidman filed a lawsuit challenging the allocation of the restricted stock and options to the Board and Mr. Celentano, CSBK’s Chief Executive Officer. This matter is presently before the New Jersey Supreme Court.
The Seidman Entities started acquiring Advance Financial Bancorp ("AFBC") stock on November 29, 2001. From November 29, 2001 to June 6, 2002, the Seidman Entities acquired shares of AFBC stock at an average price of $10.74. The Seidman Entities were not required to file a Schedule 13D with respect to AFBC. From the latter part of 2002 to the summer of 2004, Mr. Seidman had numerous conversations with the President and Chief Executive Officer of AFBC, urging him to maximize shareholder value through a sale of AFBC. In early 2004, Mr. Seidman requested representation on the AFBC Board of Directors. On September 1, 2004 AFBC announced a sale to Parkvale Financial Corporation for $26.00 per share in cash. The purchase was completed on December 31, 2004.
On April 13, 2005, Mr. Seidman filed a Schedule 13D disclosing a plan to maximize shareholder value of Interchange Financial Services Corporation (IFCJ). On December 9, 2005, Mr. Seidman notified IFCJ that he was nominating two directors to run against the candidates to be proposed by IFCJ at the next annual meeting. On April 13, 2006, IFCJ agreed to be purchased by T.D. Banknorth, Inc. for $23.00 a share in cash; 2.59 times book value and 23.23 times earnings.
Mr. Seidman conducted a vote “No” campaign against SE Financial Corp. (“SEFL”). SEFL was seeking approval of the SE Financial Corp. 2005 Stock Option Plan and SE Financial Corp. 2005 Restricted Stock Plan. SEFL withdrew those matters from consideration the morning of the annual Shareholders meeting at which these matters were to be voted upon. SEFL is still a public company.
On June 29, 2006, Mr. Seidman filed a Schedule 13D disclosing a plan to maximize shareholder of Center Bancorp, Inc. ("CNBC"). Mr. Seidman conducted and won a proxy contest against CNBC in 2006. Three directors, including himself, were placed on CNBC's Board of Directors. In addition, on July 14, 2008 the Federal Reserve Board approved Seidman’s application for the Seidman Entities to purchase up to 24.83% of CNBC. The Seidman Entities owned approximately 21.69% of CNBC as of September 30, 2010.
On July 27, 2007, the Seidman Entities filed a Schedule 13D disclosing a plan to maximize shareholder value of American Bancorp of New Jersey, Inc. ("ABNJ"). Mr. Seidman had several conversations with the President and Chief Executive Officer of ABNJ and ABNJ’s Vice Chairman discussing ways to maximize shareholder value. On December 17, 2008 ABNJ announced a sale to Investors Bancorp, Inc. for $140 million, 70% in stock and 30% in cash. The price for each ABNJ share was $12.50 based upon ISBC closing price on December 16, 2008. The transaction closed on June 1, 2009.
On July 27, 2007, the Seidman Entities filed a Schedule 13D disclosing a plan to maximize shareholder value of MASSBANK Corp. ("MASB"). On December 20, 2007, Mr. Seidman notified MASB that he was nominating three (3) directors to run against the candidates to be proposed by MASB at the next annual meeting to be held in April 2008. On March 11, 2008 MASB announced a sale to Eastern Bank Corporation for $40 per share in cash. The transaction closed on September 2, 2008.
8
Exhibit A
On November 6, 2007, the Seidman Entities filed a Schedule 13D disclosing a plan to maximize shareholder value of Southern Connecticut Bancorp, Inc. ("SSE"). Mr. Seidman had several meetings with SSE’s senior management and several directors to discuss ways to maximize shareholder value, including a sale of the Company. On February 23, 2010 Naugatuck Valley Savings and Loan (“NVSL”) agreed to purchase SSE. NVSL agreed to pay the SSE shareholders $7.25 for each SSE share in stock or cash so long as 50% of the SSE shares are exchanged for cash. In addition, NVSL’s mutual ho lding company parent, simultaneously adopted a Plan of Conversion and Reorganization to convert to a stock holding company by selling to the public its approximate 60% ownership interest in NVSL (second step conversion.) Subsequent to the merger announcement, the Seidman entities sold all of their SSE shares owned at a loss of approximately $1.00 per share. On November 12, 2010, NVSL and SSE terminated their merger agreement.
Seidman became a director of Stonegate Bank ("SGBK") at the request of SGBK's senior management and with the approval of SGBK's Board of Directors. The Seidman entities owned approximately 7.36% of SGBK's 7,713,916 outstanding shares as of September 30, 2010.
On March 12, 2009, the Seidman Entities filed a Schedule 13D disclosing a plan to maximize shareholder value of Beverly National Corporation ("BNV").

On June 17, 2009 BNV announced a sale to Danvers Bancorp Inc. (DNBK). The transaction closed on November 2, 2009. Pursuant to the terms of the merger agreement, 1.66 shares of DNBK stock were exchanged for each common share of BNV.

The value of consideration received was approximately $13.75
On May 11, 2010, the Seidman Entities filed a Schedule 13D disclosing a plan to maximize shareholder value of TF Financial Corporation ("THRD").

On May 26, 2010, the Seidman Entities filed a Schedule 13D disclosing a plan to maximize shareholder value of OBA Financial Services, Inc. ("OBAF"). Mr. Seidman had several phone calls with the President of OBAF and OBAF's counsel to discuss a performance standard and clawback provisions for any incentive compensation plans that OBAF may consider. Discussions are ongoing with respect to this matter.
On December 22, 2010, the Seidman Entities filed a Schedule 13D disclosing a plan to maximize shareholder value of Colonial Financial Services, Inc. ("COBK"). Mr. Seidman has spoken with the President of the COBK and has requested a meeting with the entire Board or a committee of the Board to discuss share repurchases after the one year regulatory prohibition ends and COBK's philosophy on dividends.
The source of the above ratios is SNL Financial LC. SNL Financial is a nationally recognized company which collects, organizes, and distributes financial data for financial companies. The Committee has used SNL Financial instead of the ratios provided by individual financial institutions, or its own calculations, because of SNL Financial’s standardized methodology for calculating the ratios in contrast to various methods to calculate the ratios used by different individuals and i nstitutions. The Committee has not independently verified the accuracy of the SNL Financial ratios.
There is no guarantee or representation made by Mr. Seidman or the Committee that the Company can be sold for a premium equal to or greater than the premium paid for the commercial banks and thrifts mentioned in this proxy statement. Furthermore, there can be no assurance that the Company could obtain a similar sales price to any of the above companies in the event the Company pursued a sale. There is also no assurance that the Committee Nominee’s election to the Board will, on its own, enhance shareholder value. However, it will send an appropriate message to the Company's management and present Board that the Shareholders desire representation on the Board by significant Shareholders.

During the last ten (10) years: (i) none of the Committee members has been convicted in a criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations or similar misdemeanors); (ii) none of the Committee members, has been a party to a civil proceeding of a judicial or administrative body of competent jurisdiction and as a result of such proceeding was or is subject to a judgment, decree, or final order enjoining future violations of, or prohibiting activities subject to, federal or state securities laws, or finding any violation with respect to such laws; (iii) the Committee members, other than SIPII, LSBK, Broad Park, CBPS, 2514 MSF, Kursky and Pollack, were parties to a civil proceeding which ultimately mandated activities that were subject to federal securities laws. Specifically, a civil a ction was filed by IBSF, during a proxy contest with certain members of the Committee, in the U.S. District Court. This litigation named the members of the Committee, as Defendants; except, SIPII, LSBK, Broad Park, CBPS, 2514 MSF,
10
Exhibit A
Kursky and Pollack. The claim was made that three members on the Committee did not make all of the disclosures required by the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. The District Court entered a Judgment dismissing the claims made by IBSF. The Third Circuit Court of Appeals reversed in part, and remanded the matter, determining that two (2) additional disclosures should have been made. Pending the remand, an Amended Schedule 13D was filed making additional disclosures with regard to Seidcal Associates and Kevin Moore concerning the background, biographical and employment information on Brant Cali of Seidcal and Kevin Moore of Federal Holdings, LLC. Thereafter, in April, 1998, the District Court entered a Judgment Afte r Remand which directed the inclusion of these disclosures in the Schedule 13D.
None of the Committee members is, or was within the past year, a party to any contract, arrangements or understandings with any person with respect to any securities of the registrant, including, but not limited to joint ventures, loan or option arrangements, puts or calls, guarantees against loss or guarantees of profit, division of losses or profits, or the giving or withholding of proxies. In addition none of the Committee members or any associates of the Committee members has or within the past year has had any arrangement or understanding with any person (a) with respect to any future employment by the Company or its affiliates; or (b) with respect to any future transactions to which the Company or any of i ts affiliates will or may be a party.
Mr. Seidman is the manager of SAL, and is the President of the Corporate General Partner of SIP and SIPII and the investment manager for LSBK, Broad Park, CBPS and 2514 MSF; and, in that capacity, Mr. Seidman has the authority to cause those entities to acquire, hold, trade, and vote these securities. SAL, SIP, SIPII, LSBK, Broad Park and 2514 MSF were all created to acquire, hold, and sell publicly-traded securities. None of these entities was formed to solely acquire, hold, and sell the Company's securities. Each of these entities owns securities issued by one or more companies other than the Company. The members and limited partners in SAL, SIP, SIPII, LSBK, Broad Park, CBPS and 2514 MSF are all passive investors, who do not - and cannot - directly, or indirectly, participate in the management of these entities, including without limitation proxy contests. S eidman's total compensation is dependent upon the profitability of the operations of these entities, but no provision is made to compensate Seidman solely based upon the profits resulting from transactions from the Company's securities. In SAL, SIP, SIP II, LSBK, Broad Park, CBPS and 2514 MSF, Seidman receives an annual fee, which is payable quarterly, based upon a valuation of the assets, and he receives a percentage of the profits.
On November 8, 1995, the acting Director of the Office of Thrift Supervision ("OTS") issued a Cease and Desist Order against Seidman ("C&D"), after finding that Seidman recklessly engaged in unsafe and unsound practices in the business of an insured institution. The C&D actions complained of were Seidman's allegedly obstructing an OTS investigation. The C&D ordered him to cease and desist from (i) any attempts to hinder the OTS in the discharge of its regulatory responsibilities, including the conduct of any OTS examination or investigation; and (ii) any attempts to induce any person to withhold material information from the OTS related to the performance of its regulatory responsibilities. The Order also provides that for a period of no less than three (3) years if Seidman b ecomes an institution-affiliated party of any insured depository institution subject to the jurisdiction of the OTS, to the extent that his responsibilities include the preparation or review of any reports, documents, or other information that would be submitted or reviewed by the OTS in the discharge of its regulatory functions, all such reports, documents, and other information shall, prior to submission to, or review by the OTS, be independently reviewed by the Board of Directors or a duly appointed committee of the Board to ensure that all material information and facts have been fully and adequately disclosed. In addition, a civil money penalty in the amount of $20,812 was assessed.
The voting power over the Company's securities is not subject to any contingencies beyond standard provisions for entities of this nature (i.e., limited partnerships and limited liability companies) which govern the replacement of a manager or a general partner. Specifically, the shares held by each of the named entities are voted in the manner that Seidman elects, in his non-reviewable discretion.
Additional information concerning the Committee is set forth in Appendices A and B hereto. Each of the individuals listed on Appendix A attached hereto is a citizen of the United States.
SOLICITATION; EXPENSES
Proxies may be solicited by the Committee by mail, advertisement, telephone, facsimile, telegraph, and personal solicitation. Phone calls will be made to individual Shareholders by all the individual Committee members, and employees of D. F. King & Co.
11
Exhibit A
Certain of Seidman’s employees will perform secretarial work in connection with the solicitation of proxies, for which no additional compensation will be paid. Banks, brokerage houses, and other custodians, nominees and fiduciaries will be requested to forward the Committee’s solicitation material to their customers for whom they hold shares and the Committee will reimburse them for their reasonable out-of-pocket expenses. The Committee has retained D. F. King & Co. to assist in the solicitation of proxies and for related services. The Committee will pay D. F. King & Co. a fee of up to $25,000 and has agreed to reimburse it for its reasonable out-of-pocket expenses. In addition, the Committee has also agreed to indemnify D. F. King & Co. against certain liabilities and expenses, including liabilities and expenses under the federal securities laws. The Securities and Exchange Commission deems such an indemnification to be against public policy. Approximately twenty-five (25) persons will be used by D. F. King & Co. in its solicitation efforts.
The entire expense of preparing, assembling, printing, and mailing this Proxy Statement and related materials and the cost of soliciting proxies will be borne by SAL, SIP, SIPII, LSBK, Broad Park, CBPS and 2514 MSF. (The Committee does not intend to solicit proxies via the Internet.)
Although no precise estimate can be made at the present time, the Committee currently estimates that the total expenditures relating to the Proxy Solicitation incurred by the Committee will be approximately $50,000, of which $0 has been incurred to date. The Committee intends to seek reimbursement from the Company for those expenses incurred by the Committee, if the Committee's Nominees are elected, but does not intend to submit the question of such reimbursement to a vote of the Shareholders.
For the proxy solicited hereby to be voted, the enclosed WHITE proxy card must be signed, dated, and returned to the Committee, c/o D. F. King & Co. Inc., in the enclosed envelope in time to be voted at the Annual Meeting. If you wish to vote for the Committee Nominees, you must submit the enclosed WHITE proxy card and must NOT submit the Company's proxy card. If you have already returned the Company's proxy card, you have the right to revoke it as to all matters covered thereby and may do so by subsequently signing, dating, and mailing the enclosed WHITE proxy card. ONLY YOUR LATEST DATED PROXY WILL COUNT AT THE ANNUAL MEETING. Execution of a WHITE proxy card will not affect your right to attend the Annual Meeting and to vote in person. Any proxy may be revoked as to all matters cov ered thereby at any time prior to the time a vote is taken by (i) filing with the Secretary of the Company a later dated written revocation; (ii) submitting a duly executed proxy bearing a later date to the Committee; or (iii) attending and voting at the Annual Meeting in person. Attendance at the Annual Meeting will not in and of itself constitute a revocation.
Shares of Common Stock represented by a valid, unrevoked WHITE proxy card will be voted as specified. You may vote for the Committee's Nominees or withhold authority to vote for the Committee's Nominees by marking the proper box on the WHITE proxy card. Shares represented by a WHITE proxy card where no specification has been made will be voted for the Committee's Nominees.
Except as set forth in this Proxy Statement, the Committee is not aware of any other matter to be considered at the Annual Meeting. The persons named as proxies on the enclosed WHITE proxy card will, however, have discretionary voting authority as such proxies regarding any other business that may properly come before the Annual Meeting.
If your shares are held in the name of a brokerage firm, bank, or nominee, only they can vote such shares and only upon receipt of your specific instructions. Accordingly, please return the proxy in the envelope provided to you or contact the person responsible for your account and instruct that person to execute on your behalf the WHITE proxy card.
Only holders of record of Common Stock on the Annual Meeting Record Date will be entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting. If you are a Shareholder of record on the Annual Meeting Record Date, you will retain the voting rights in connection with the Annual Meeting even if you sell such shares after the Annual Meeting Record Date. Accordingly, it is important that you vote the shares of Common Stock held by you on the Annual Meeting Record Date, or grant a proxy to vote such shares on the WHITE proxy card, even if you sell such shares after such date.
The Committee believes that it is in your best interest to elect the Committee's Nominees as Directors at the Annual Meeting. THE COMMITTEE STRONGLY RECOMMENDS A VOTE FOR THE COMMITTEE NOMINEES.

Re: Abington Bancorp, Inc. (“ABBC”)
Dear Mr. Wilkinson:
I am responding to your letter dated January 10, 2011. After reviewing your letter, and checking ABBC’s bylaws, you are correct that the nominations Seidman and Associates, LLC (“SAL”) made for ABBC’s 2011 Annual Meeting of Shareholders were not timely. Therefore, SAL will not be running candidates for the 2011 Annual Meeting of Shareholders.
By separate letter dated January 13, 2011, to Mr. Frank Kovalcheck, SAL is re-filing the nominating material for the ABBC 2012 Annual Meeting of Shareholders.
Furthermore, SAL disagrees that the nomination material failed to provide the information required by Section 3.12(b) of ABBC’s bylaws.
Very truly yours,

The Committee is soliciting your proxy in support of the election of Manuel Kursky ("Kursky") and Dennis Pollack ("Pollack") (the "Committee Nominees") to the Company's Board of Directors.
The Committee consists of the Committee Nominees, Seidman and Associates, LLC ("SAL"), a New Jersey Limited Liability Company; Seidman Investment Partnership, LP ("SIP"), a New Jersey Limited Partnership; Seidman Investment Partnership II, LP ("SIP II"), a New Jersey Limited Partnership; LSBK06-08, LLC ("LSBK"), a New Jersey Limited Liability Company; Broad Park Investors, LLC (“Broad Park”), a New Jersey Limited Liability Company; CBPS, LLC ("CBPS"), a New York Limited Liability Company; and 2514 Multi-Strategy Fund, LP ("2514 MSF"), a Delaware Limited Partnership; Kursky, Pollack, Lawrence Seidman ("Seidman") and certain Seidman discretionary clients ("Seidman Clients"). This Proxy Statement and WHITE proxy card are being first mailed or furnished to Shareholders on or about 160;April , 2012.
The Committee's goal is to preserve shareholder value and it is the opinion of the Committee that one of the best ways to accomplish this goal is through the representation of significant shareholders on the Board of Directors. Through representation on the Board of Directors, the Committee's Nominees will attempt to persuade the Board of Directors to: (i) accelerate the repurchase of stock pursuant to the Company’s present authorized share repurchase program; and (ii) retain an investment banker to determine the value of the Company in a sale versus remaining independent.
Remember, your last dated proxy is the only one that counts, so return the WHITE card even if you delivered a prior proxy. We urge you not to return any proxy card sent to you by the Company.
Your vote is important, no matter how many or how few shares you hold. If your shares are held in the name of a brokerage firm, bank, or nominee, only they can vote your shares, and only upon receipt of your specific instructions. Accordingly, please return the WHITE proxy card in the envelope provided by your Bank or Broker or contact the person responsible for your account and give instructions for such shares to be voted for the Committee Nominees. Every Shareholder should be aware that if his shares are held through a bank, brokerage

Exhibit C
firm, or other nominee, they will not be able to change their vote at the Annual Meeting, unless they obtain a legal proxy from the bank, brokerage firm, or other nominee. Since this is a contested election for directors, there should not be any broker non-votes. Broker non-votes occur when a bank or brokerage firm holding shares on behalf of a shareholder does not receive voting instructions from the shareholder by a specified date before the Annual Meeting and the bank or brokerage firm is not permitted to vote those undirected shares on specified matters under applicable stock exchange rules. Thus, if you do not give your broker specific instructions, your shares may not be voted on those matters and will not be counted in determining the number of shares necessary for approval.
If your shares are registered in more than one name, the WHITE proxy card should be signed by all such persons to ensure that all shares are voted for the Committee's Nominees.
Holders of record of shares of Common Stock on the Annual Meeting Record Date are urged to submit a proxy, even if such shares have been sold after that date. The number of shares of Common Stock outstanding as of the Annual Meeting Record Date is disclosed in the Company's proxy statement. Each share of Common Stock is entitled to one vote at the Annual Meeting.

Exhibit C
THE COMMITTEE'S GOAL:
OUR GOAL IS TO MAXIMIZE THE VALUE
OF THE COMPANY'S STOCK FOR ALL
SHAREHOLDERS
The Committee believes its fellow Shareholders have the same goal: to maximize the value of the Company's stock they purchased. The Committee believes that the Company should immediately retain an investment banker to analyze the Company's value in a sale versus remaining independent to assist the Company's Board in reaching an informed decision on how to maximize shareholder value. An investment banking firm would be able to provide the Board with invaluable statistical and market data that the Company could not obtain on its own. This information should assist the Board in making an informed financial decision. In addition, the investment banker would also be asked to evaluate whether the Company can make in-market acquisitions that are accretive (acquisitions that will add to the earnings per share of the Company within one year) and hopefully suggest ways to improve the Company’s profitability.
The only way the Committee can be assured that its proposals receive appropriate consideration is through Board representation. The Committee has urged management to pursue acquisition/merger discussions with potentially interested banks so the Company could properly compare the economic benefits of an acquisition of other financial institutions to a sale of the Company.
No guarantee, or assurance, can be given that the Committee's proposals would result in a maximization of shareholder value. It is simply, and solely, the Committee's opinion that these proposals are likely to produce positive results for all Shareholders.
THE COMPANY'S CONVERSION
FROM A MUTUAL TO PUBLIC COMPANY
The Company converted from a mutual to a mutual holding company in December, 2004. In June, 2007 the Company converted from a mutual holding company to a 100% public company. When the Company converted to a 100% public company, the Company issued 13,965,000 new shares at $10.00 per share and issued 10,495,446 shares of its stock in exchange for the previous outstanding shares. Each share of the former mid-tier company's common stock was converted into exactly 1.6 shares of the new company stock. As of March 31, 2007, the Company's total stockholder equity was approximately $116 million. The Company raised approximately $135 million in new stockholder equity from the second step conversion. As of September 30, 2010 the Company's stockholder equity was $213 million.
THE COMPANY'S SHARE
REPURCHASE PROGRAM
The following chart shows the Company's share repurchase activity since completing its second step conversion to a 100% public company. It is clear that in 2010 the Company reduced the amount of shares it repurchased. The Committee Nominees would strongly urge the Company to accelerate the Company's share repurchaser program.

Exhibit C
THE COMPANY'S EARNINGS FROM
CALENDAR YEAR 2004 TO 2011
The following chart shows the calendar year earnings for the Company from 2004 to 2011:
20041 | 20052 | 20062 | 2007 | 2008 | 2009 | 2010 | 2011 | |
4,555 | 6,302 | 6,802 | 7,067 | 2,120 | (7,193) | |||
Diluted Earnings Per Share | N/A | $0.26 | $0.28 | $0.30 | $0.09 | ($0.36) |
It is clear that the Company's earnings since its second step conversion have been disappointing.
1 Due to the timing of the Company’s reorganization into a mutual holding company form and the completion of the Company’s initial public offering on December 16, 2004, earnings per share for the period from December 16, 2004 to December 31, 2004 are not considered meaningful and were not shown (Form 10-K for period ending December 31, 2005, page 64).
2 Earnings per share for these periods have been adjusted to reflect the impact of the second-step conversion and the reorganization of the Company which occurred on June 27, 2007. (Form 10-K for the period ending December 31, 2007.)
LACK OF RETURN ON $135 MILLION
SECOND STEP CONVERSION CAPITAL
Since the Shareholders gave the Company approximately $135 million in June, 2007, the Shareholders, as shown above, have received virtually no return on this additional capital. In calendar years 2008 and 2009, the Company earned less money than before this additional capital was raised and in 2010, the earnings were negligible in comparison to 2007. The primary cause of the Company's poor earnings was the significant losses it incurred from the Company's rush into risky construction lending (as shown below) after it completed its second step conversion.
THE COMPANY'S 2005
BENEFIT PLAN
At the Company's June 23, 2005 Annual Meeting, the Company approved its 2005 Stock Option Plan ("Stock Option") and 2005 Recognition and Retention Plan and Trust Agreement ("Restricted Stock"); authorizing the issuance of 714,150 Stock Options and 285,660 shares of Restricted Stock. In the Proxy Statement for the June 2005 Annual Meeting, the Company stated that one of the purposes of the Stock Option and Restricted Stock plans was to provide an incentive to the Company's management and Board to contribute to the success of the Company. (June 23, 2005 Proxy Statement pages 14-20.)
Shortly after the June 23, 2005 approval of the incentive stock plans, the Company rushed and purchased (in the open market) the 285,660 shares, for approximately $3.7 million, an average price of $12.95 per share. Then on July 5, 2005, the Company granted all the 285,660 shares to certain officers, employees and directors of the Company. In addition, of the 714,150 Stock Options, 643,250 were also issued on July 5, 2005. Only 70,900 shares were reserved for future issuance (Form 10-Q for the period ending September 30, 2005, pages 19-20.)
What was the Company's success that justified the issuance of approximately 90% of the Stock Options and all the Restricted Stock between June 23, 2005 and July 5, 2005? ABSOLUTELY NOTHING!
Unfortunately, the Stock Option and Restricted Stock plans do not provide for a clawback provision to allow the Company to recapture any of the Stock Options and Restricted Stock that were so hastily granted if the recipients did not contribute to the Company's success. As the Company's earnings clearly demonstrate, the Company's management has not been successful, but the recipients of the Stock Options and Restricted Stock plans still benefitted. The Shareholders surely did not receive the benefit of their bargain.
In the Committee's opinion, the Company's granting of 90% of the Stock Options and all the Restricted Stock was unwarranted in such a short time period.

Exhibit C
SIGNIFICANT INCREASE IN CONSTRUCTION
LENDING PRINCIPALLY SINCE
THE SECOND STEP CONVERSION
The following chart shows the significant increase in the Company's construction loans from December 31, 2004 to December 31, 2010. After raising the approximate $135 million in the second step conversion, the Company began to increase its construction lending. As is well known, construction lending has greater risk than most other types of lending conductd by community banks. Notwithstanding this higher risk, the Company, without proper underwriting and expertise, dove head first into this high risk lending category. In the Committee's opinion, the Company chose high yield construction lending over prudent slow asset growth.
The losses in the construction loan portfolio were the primary reason for the Company's poor earnings in calendar years 2008 and 2009.
2004 | 2005 | 2006 | 2007 | 2008 | 2009 | 2010 | 2011 | |
Construction loans | 83,253 | 75,099 | 89,638 | 112,912 | 164,745 | 149,443 |
This significant increase in construction lending, especially after the second step conversion, is what led to the significant increase in the Company's non-performing assets.
INCREASED NON-PERFORMING ASSETS
SINCE THE SECOND STEP CONVERSION
The following chart shows the significant increase in the non-performing assets, construction loans and loan loss provision since the Company's 2007 second step conversion. The increase in non-performing construction loans is what caused the significant increase in the Company's non-performing assets.

THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS
SHOULD BE DE-CLASSIFIED
If the Committee Nominees are elected they will propose an amendment to the Company’s By-Laws to de-classify the Board so that all the directors will stand for election each year. Presently the Board is split into three classes with approximately one-third (1/3) of the Board standing for election each year. The Committee Nominees will need the support of two additional Board members to gain Board approval for its amendment to de-classify the Board.
THEREFORE A VOTE FOR THE COMMITTEE NOMINEES IS A VOTE TO
START THE PROCESS TO ACCELERATE THE SHARE REPURCHASE PROGRAM,
ATTEMPT TO DO AN ACCRETIVE ACQUISITION, AND IF NOT POSSIBLE,
SELL THE COMPANY FOR A PREMIUM PRICE, WHICH IS OPPOSED BY
THE PRESENT BOARD AND MANAGEMENT
Each Shareholder should be aware that the present election is only to elect three Directors to the Board of Directors of the Company (the Committee is running two nominees) and has nothing to do with the election of Directors for the Bank, the
5
Exhibit C
principal operating subsidiary of the Company. The present Directors of the Company, even if the Committee Nominees win this election, will still be able to appoint the Board of Directors of the Bank, including the Company Nominees, even if they lose the election.
The Committee Nominees, if elected, will (i) review in detail the Company’s business plan, (ii) discuss the Company’s business plan with the Company’s management, advisors, and the other directors and (iii) based upon their past business experience, make recommendations they believe will have the effect of increasing the Company’s net income, earnings per share, earning assets and deposits. There is no assurance that the Committee Nominees would have any suggestions that the Company had not already considered. Furthermore, there is no assurance that any suggestions made by the Committee Nominees would be approved by a majority of the Company’s Board. The Committee Nominees wou ld however, request that the Company implement an aggressive stock repurchase program. In addition, the Committee Nominees would attempt to persuade the Company to pursue an accretive acquisition. The Board of Directors of the Company would have to determine a satisfactory price, which could be either all cash or stock or a combination of cash and stock. (The Board would have to make the same determination with respect to the consideration to be received in connection with a sale of the Company.) To accomplish the Committee's goal, the Committee Nominees, if elected, will need the cooperation of two of the other Directors. Furthermore, the Committee Nominees' plans could change, subject to the fiduciary duty they will owe to all Shareholders, if elected.
Shareholders will not be afforded a separate opportunity to vote on the implementation of a stock repurchase program. Shareholders will be required to vote on certain sales or mergers involving stock, but a cash acquisition may not require Shareholder approval.
MR. SEIDMAN'S PAST HISTORY WITH
CERTAIN FINANCIAL INSTITUTIONS
The following is Mr. Seidman’s history with respect to certain financial institutions. Shareholders should not imply a correlation between Mr. Seidman’s actions and the actions taken by the following financial institutions. It must be remembered, that with respect to the companies where Mr. Seidman, or his nominees, were on the board, they were a minority on the board. Where a company was sold after Mr. Seidman filed a Schedule 13D, and Mr. Seidman had no nominees on the Board, Mr. Seidman could not exert any influence on the board with respect to any decisions.
Seidman has been involved in proxy contests in connection with the following eleven separate companies since 1995, IBS Financial Corp. (“IBSF”), Wayne Bancorp, Inc. (“WYNE”), South Jersey Financial Corp., Inc. (“SJFC”), Citizens First Financial Corp. (“CFSB”), Yonkers Financial Corp. (“YFCB”), First Federal Savings and Loan Association of East Hartford (“FFES”), Vista Bancorp, Inc. (“Vista”), United National Bancorp (“UNBJ”), GA Financial, Inc. (“GAF”), Kankakee Bancorp, Inc. (“KNK”), and Yardville National Bancorp (“YANB”), seeking to maximize shareholder value by either an accretive acquisition or sale of the respective companies. IBSF, WYNE, SJFC, YFCB, FFES, VBNJ, UNBJ , GAF and YANB were sold at significant premiums to their book value and earnings, as shown by the following chart:
Seller | Buyer | Multiples [X] Book Value % | LTM EPS [X] | Director Nominees |
IBSF | Hudson United Bancorp | 1.87 | 38.4 | No Seidman director on Board |
WYNE | Valley National Bancorp | 2.00 | 35.1 | Seidman Nominee on Board |
SJFC | Richmond Cty. Fin. Corp. | 1.16 | 24.7 | Seidman and Seidman nominee on Board |
YFCB | Atlantic Bank of New York | 1.52 | 16.2 | No Seidman director on Board |
FFES | Connecticut Bancshares, Inc. | 1.37 | 13.5 | Seidman on Board by consent |
VBNJ | United National Bancorp | 2.52 | 19.6 | No Seidman director on Board |
UNBJ | PNC Fin. Svcs. Group, Inc. | 2.37 | 21.9 | No Seidman director on Board |
GAF | First Commonwealth Financial | 1.84 | 24.3 | No Seidman director on Board |
YANB | PNC Fin. Svcs. Group, Inc. | 2.00 | 20.3 | No Seidman director on Board |

Exhibit C
Seidman was not successful in his proxy contest with IBSF, CFSB, VBNJ, UNBJ, YFCB, KNK or YANB. However, Seidman was successful in having CFSB conduct a Dutch Auction for 15% of its outstanding shares. Seidman had proposed this Dutch Auction and, in an agreement with CFSB, agreed to tender the shares he controlled into the auction and to execute a standstill agreement. CFSB’s counsel told Mr. Seidman that unless he was willing to tender his shares and enter into the Standstill Agreement, CFSB would not conduct the Dutch Auction. Thus, the Dutch Auction resulted in large measure from proposals made by, and actions undertaken, by Seidman. With respect to YFCB, Seidman continually pushed YFCB to sell. On November 14, 2001, YFCB announced a sale to Atlantic Bank of New York at $29.00 cash per share, ba sed upon the above ratios. The Board of Directors of FFES, CNY Financial Corp. (“CNYF”) and Ambanc Holding Co, Inc. (“AHCI”), each agreed voluntarily to increase by one (1) the size of the Board and Seidman was added to each respective Board. With respect to FFES, Seidman conducted a proxy contest to have the FFES Shareholders vote to rescind certain By-laws amendments. This proxy contest was successful. Thereafter, Seidman was added to the Board. CNYF was sold to Niagara Bancorp, Inc. at a premium price of 1.30 times book and 27.57 times its last twelve (12) month earnings. AHCI was sold to Hudson River Bancorp, Inc. at a premium price of 1.25 times book and 25.60 times its last twelve (12) months earnings.
Seidman filed a Schedule 13D disclosing a plan to maximize shareholder value of 1st Bergen Bancorp, Inc. ("FBER"), Eagle BancGroup, Inc. ("EGLB"), Jade Financial Corp. ("IGAF") and Alliance Bancorp of New England, Inc. ("ANE"). All four institutions were sold after the respective announcements. FBER was sold to Kearney Savings Bank for 1.78 times book value and 28.57 times earnings. EGLB was sold to First Busey Corporation ("FBC") for 1.41 times book value and 30.28 times earnings. IGAF was sold to PSB Bancorp, Inc. for 92% of book value and 26.06 times earnings. ANE was sold to New Alliance Bancshares, Inc. for 2.46 times book value and 19.39 times earnings. Except for IGAF, these companies were sold at a significant premium to book value and earnings and its prevailing stock price.
Mr. Seidman filed a Schedule 13D disclosing a plan to maximize shareholder value of First Federal Bancshares, Inc. (“FFBI”) and Central Bancorp, Inc. (“CEBK”). FFBI conducted a Dutch Auction for approximately 30% of its outstanding shares at $33.50. Mr. Seidman tendered his shares into the Dutch Auction, selling a significant percentage of his position at a significant profit and therefore was no longer required to file a Schedule 13D. Mr. Seidman, after significant litigation with CEBK, sold his entire position through public market sales at an approximate break-even price. CEBK is still publicly traded today.
On December 6, 2002, Michael A. Griffith was appointed to the KNK Board of Directors. Mr. Griffith is not affiliated with Mr. Seidman and Mr. Seidman did not recommend him to the Board of Directors. Mr. Griffith's appointment was part of an agreement with an investor group led by Jeffrey L. Gendell, which owned approximately 9.8% of KNK's outstanding shares. On January 17, 2003, KNK announced, among other things, the resignation of Larry Huffman, the President and Chief Executive Officer, and the election of Mr. Griffith as the new KNK Chairman.
On July 28, 2004 the Seidman Entities filed a Schedule 13D disclosing a plan to maximize shareholder value of Yardville National Bancorp ("YANB"). Mr. Seidman has had meetings with several Board members and senior management of YANB and in February, 2005, YANB retained Mr. Seidman as an independent consultant to help the company explore planning acquisition and growth opportunities. In November 2005, Mr. Seidman notified YANB, that in his opinion, YANB had breached the consulting agreement and that the consulting agreement was no longer valid. Mr. Seidman nominated three (3) directors to run against the YANB candidates at the 2006 annual meeting. The candidates nominated by Mr. Seidman were not succe ssful. In addition, the Seidman Entities prosecuted claims against YANB in the Superior Court of New Jersey, including the application to void the results of the Annual Meeting and hold a new election. On June 6, 2007, PNC Financial Services Group Inc. (PNC) agreed to purchase YANB for $35.00 a share, based upon an exchange rate of .2923 shares of PNC common stock, and $14 in cash, for each YANB share. All litigation between YANB and Mr. Seidman was settled. The transaction closed on October 29, 2007.
On November 16, 2004 Mr. Seidman filed a Schedule 13D disclosing a plan to maximize shareholder value of Bridge Street Financial, Inc. (OCNB). Mr. Seidman requested representation on the board at OCNB’s September 21, 2005 Annual Meeting. Mr. Seidman’s representative was added to the Board. On April 24, 2006, Alliance Financial Corporation (ALNC) acquired OCNB for approximately $23.02 or 1.98 times book value and 44.28 times earnings.

Exhibit C
Clifton Savings Bancorp, Inc. ("CSBK") is a Federal corporation, organized as a mutual holding company. The Seidman Entities purchased an insignificant amount of CSBK shares and sold all but 1,000 shares. At the 2004 CSBK Annual Meeting, held on September 7, 2004, CSBK sought shareholder approval for (i) the election of two (2) directors and (ii) the Clifton Savings Bancorp, Inc. 2004 Stock-Based Incentive Plan (“Incentive Plan”). The Seidman Entities conducted a proxy contest to defeat the approval of the Incentive Plan because of t he excessive nature of its provisions. On September 1, 2004 CSBK withdrew the Incentive Plan from shareholder consideration at its Annual Meeting because of a letter it received from the Office of Thrift Supervision (OTS) requesting such action. At the 2005 CSBK Annual Meeting, held on July 14, 2005, CSBK sought approval for (i) the election of two (2) directors and (ii) the Clifton Savings Bancorp, Inc. 2005 Equity Incentive Plan (the 2005 Plan.) This 2005 Plan provided for approximately half the number of restricted stock and options quarterly. Mr. Seidman did not contest the shareholder approval of the 2005 Plan. The 2005 Plan was approved by the CSBK shareholders. Mr. Seidman filed a lawsuit challenging the allocation of the restricted stock and options to the Board and Mr. Celentano, CSBK’s Chief Executive Officer. This matter is presently before the New Jersey Supreme Court.
The Seidman Entities started acquiring Advance Financial Bancorp ("AFBC") stock on November 29, 2001. From November 29, 2001 to June 6, 2002, the Seidman Entities acquired shares of AFBC stock at an average price of $10.74. The Seidman Entities were not required to file a Schedule 13D with respect to AFBC. From the latter part of 2002 to the summer of 2004, Mr. Seidman had numerous conversations with the President and Chief Executive Officer of AFBC, urging him to maximize shareholder value through a sale of AFBC. In early 2004, Mr. Seidman requested representation on the AFBC Board of Directors. On September 1, 2004 AFBC announced a sale to Parkvale Financial Corporation for $26.00 per share in cash. The purchase was completed on December 31, 2004.
On April 13, 2005, Mr. Seidman filed a Schedule 13D disclosing a plan to maximize shareholder value of Interchange Financial Services Corporation (IFCJ). On December 9, 2005, Mr. Seidman notified IFCJ that he was nominating two directors to run against the candidates to be proposed by IFCJ at the next annual meeting. On April 13, 2006, IFCJ agreed to be purchased by T.D. Banknorth, Inc. for $23.00 a share in cash; 2.59 times book value and 23.23 times earnings.
Mr. Seidman conducted a vote “No” campaign against SE Financial Corp. (“SEFL”). SEFL was seeking approval of the SE Financial Corp. 2005 Stock Option Plan and SE Financial Corp. 2005 Restricted Stock Plan. SEFL withdrew those matters from consideration the morning of the annual Shareholders meeting at which these matters were to be voted upon. SEFL is still a public company.
On June 29, 2006, Mr. Seidman filed a Schedule 13D disclosing a plan to maximize shareholder of Center Bancorp, Inc. ("CNBC"). Mr. Seidman conducted and won a proxy contest against CNBC in 2006. Three directors, including himself, were placed on CNBC's Board of Directors. In addition, on July 14, 2008 the Federal Reserve Board approved Seidman’s application for the Seidman Entities to purchase up to 24.83% of CNBC. The Seidman Entities owned approximately 21.69% of CNBC as of September 30, 2010.
On July 27, 2007, the Seidman Entities filed a Schedule 13D disclosing a plan to maximize shareholder value of American Bancorp of New Jersey, Inc. ("ABNJ"). Mr. Seidman had several conversations with the President and Chief Executive Officer of ABNJ and ABNJ’s Vice Chairman discussing ways to maximize shareholder value. On December 17, 2008 ABNJ announced a sale to Investors Bancorp, Inc. for $140 million, 70% in stock and 30% in cash. The price for each ABNJ share was $12.50 based upon ISBC closing price on December 16, 2008. The transaction closed on June 1, 2009.
On July 27, 2007, the Seidman Entities filed a Schedule 13D disclosing a plan to maximize shareholder value of MASSBANK Corp. ("MASB"). On December 20, 2007, Mr. Seidman notified MASB that he was nominating three (3) directors to run against the candidates to be proposed by MASB at the next annual meeting to be held in April 2008. On March 11, 2008 MASB announced a sale to Eastern Bank Corporation for $40 per share in cash. The transaction closed on September 2, 2008.
8
Exhibit C
On November 6, 2007, the Seidman Entities filed a Schedule 13D disclosing a plan to maximize shareholder value of Southern Connecticut Bancorp, Inc. ("SSE"). Mr. Seidman had several meetings with SSE’s senior management and several directors to discuss ways to maximize shareholder value, including a sale of the Company. On February 23, 2010 Naugatuck Valley Savings and Loan (“NVSL”) agreed to purchase SSE. NVSL agreed to pay the SSE shareholders $7.25 for each SSE share in stock or cash so long as 50% of the SSE shares are exchanged for cash. In addition, NVSL’s mutual holding company p arent, simultaneously adopted a Plan of Conversion and Reorganization to convert to a stock holding company by selling to the public its approximate 60% ownership interest in NVSL (second step conversion.) Subsequent to the merger announcement, the Seidman entities sold all of their SSE shares owned at a loss of approximately $1.00 per share. On November 12, 2010, NVSL and SSE terminated their merger agreement.

Pursuant to the terms of the merger agreement, 1.66 shares of DNBK stock were exchanged for each common share of BNV. Based on the closing price of DNBK on June 16, 2009, the stock transaction was valued at approximately $23.04 for each BNV share.
On May 18, 2009, the Seidman Entities filed a Schedule 13D disclosing a plan to maximize shareholder value of First Keystone Financial, Inc. ("FKFS"). Subsequent to filing a Schedule 13D, Mr. Seidman had a meeting with the Chairman and President, at which time Mr. Seidman discussed strategic alternatives that he thought were available to the Company, including a sale of the Company.

On December 22, 2010, the Seidman Entities filed a Schedule 13D disclosing a plan to maximize shareholder value of Colonial Financial Services, Inc. ("COBK"). Mr. Seidman has spoken with the President of the COBK and has requested a meeting with the entire Board or a committee of the Board to discuss share repurchases after the one year regulatory prohibition ends and COBK's philosophy on dividends.
The source of the above ratios is SNL Financial LC. SNL Financial is a nationally recognized company which collects, organizes, and distributes financial data for financial companies. The Committee has used SNL Financial instead of the ratios provided by individual financial institutions, or its own calculations, because of SNL Financial’s standardized methodology for calculating the ratios in contrast to various methods to calculate the ratios used by different individuals and institutions. The Committee has not independently verified the accuracy of the SNL Financial ratios.
There is no guarantee or representation made by Mr. Seidman or the Committee that the Company can be sold for a premium equal to or greater than the premium paid for the commercial banks and thrifts mentioned in this proxy statement. Furthermore, there can be no assurance that the Company could obtain a similar sales price to any of the above companies in the event the Company pursued a sale. There is also no assurance that the Committee Nominee’s election to the Board will, on its own, enhance shareholder value. However, it will send an appropriate message to the Company's management and present Board that the Shareholders desire representation on the Board by significant Shareholders.

Mr. Pollack received a Bachelor of Arts degree in economics from Seton Hall University and earned a Master of Business Administration in money and financial markets from Columbia University.

None of the Committee Nominees has ever been employed by the Company in any capacity or have they ever been a director of the Company.
The members of the Committee have agreed to act in concert; however, they have expressly reserved the right to terminate their agreement to act in concert.
During the last ten (10) years: (i) none of the Committee members has been convicted in a criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations or similar misdemeanors); (ii) none of the Committee members, has been a party to a civil proceeding of a judicial or administrative body of competent jurisdiction and as a result of such proceeding was or is subject to a judgment, decree, or final order enjoining future violations of, or prohibiting activities subject to, federal or state securities laws, or finding any violation with respect to such laws; (iii) the Committee members, other than SIPII, LSBK, Broad Park, CBPS, 2514 MSF, Kursky and Pollack, were parties to a civil proceeding which ultimately mandated activities that were subject to federal securities laws. Specifically, a civil action was filed by IBSF, during a proxy contest with certain members of the Committee, in the U.S. District Court. This litigation named the members of the Committee, as Defendants; except, SIPII, LSBK, Broad Park, CBPS, 2514 MSF,
10
Exhibit C
Kursky and Pollack. The claim was made that three members on the Committee did not make all of the disclosures required by the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. The District Court entered a Judgment dismissing the claims made by IBSF. The Third Circuit Court of Appeals reversed in part, and remanded the matter, determining that two (2) additional disclosures should have been made. Pending the remand, an Amended Schedule 13D was filed making additional disclosures with regard to Seidcal Associates and Kevin Moore concerning the background, biographical and employment information on Brant Cali of Seidcal and Kevin Moore of Federal Holdings, LLC. Thereafter, in April, 1998, the District Court entered a Judgment After Remand which directed the inclusion of these disclosures in the Schedule 13D.
None of the Committee members is, or was within the past year, a party to any contract, arrangements or understandings with any person with respect to any securities of the registrant, including, but not limited to joint ventures, loan or option arrangements, puts or calls, guarantees against loss or guarantees of profit, division of losses or profits, or the giving or withholding of proxies. In addition none of the Committee members or any associates of the Committee members has or within the past year has had any arrangement or understanding with any person (a) with respect to any future employment by the Company or its affiliates; or (b) with respect to any future transactions to which the Company or any of its affiliates w ill or may be a party.
Mr. Seidman is the manager of SAL, and is the President of the Corporate General Partner of SIP and SIPII and the investment manager for LSBK, Broad Park, CBPS and 2514 MSF; and, in that capacity, Mr. Seidman has the authority to cause those entities to acquire, hold, trade, and vote these securities. SAL, SIP, SIPII, LSBK, Broad Park and 2514 MSF were all created to acquire, hold, and sell publicly-traded securities. None of these entities was formed to solely acquire, hold, and sell the Company's securities. Each of these entities owns securities issued by one or more companies other than the Company. The members and limited partners in SAL, SIP, SIPII, LSBK, Broad Park, CBPS and 2514 MSF are all passive investors, who do not - and cannot - directly, or indirectly, participate in the management of these entities, including without limitation proxy contests. Seidman's total compensation is dependent upon the profitability of the operations of these entities, but no provision is made to compensate Seidman solely based upon the profits resulting from transactions from the Company's securities. In SAL, SIP, SIP II, LSBK, Broad Park, CBPS and 2514 MSF, Seidman receives an annual fee, which is payable quarterly, based upon a valuation of the assets, and he receives a percentage of the profits.
On November 8, 1995, the acting Director of the Office of Thrift Supervision ("OTS") issued a Cease and Desist Order against Seidman ("C&D"), after finding that Seidman recklessly engaged in unsafe and unsound practices in the business of an insured institution. The C&D actions complained of were Seidman's allegedly obstructing an OTS investigation. The C&D ordered him to cease and desist from (i) any attempts to hinder the OTS in the discharge of its regulatory responsibilities, including the conduct of any OTS examination or investigation; and (ii) any attempts to induce any person to withhold material information from the OTS related to the performance of its regulatory responsibilities. The Order also provides that for a period of no less than three (3) years if Seidman becomes an insti tution-affiliated party of any insured depository institution subject to the jurisdiction of the OTS, to the extent that his responsibilities include the preparation or review of any reports, documents, or other information that would be submitted or reviewed by the OTS in the discharge of its regulatory functions, all such reports, documents, and other information shall, prior to submission to, or review by the OTS, be independently reviewed by the Board of Directors or a duly appointed committee of the Board to ensure that all material information and facts have been fully and adequately disclosed. In addition, a civil money penalty in the amount of $20,812 was assessed.
The voting power over the Company's securities is not subject to any contingencies beyond standard provisions for entities of this nature (i.e., limited partnerships and limited liability companies) which govern the replacement of a manager or a general partner. Specifically, the shares held by each of the named entities are voted in the manner that Seidman elects, in his non-reviewable discretion.
Additional information concerning the Committee is set forth in Appendices A and B hereto. Each of the individuals listed on Appendix A attached hereto is a citizen of the United States.
SOLICITATION; EXPENSES
Proxies may be solicited by the Committee by mail, advertisement, telephone, facsimile, telegraph, and personal solicitation. Phone calls will be made to individual Shareholders by all the individual Committee members, and employees of D. F. King & Co.
11
Exhibit C
Certain of Seidman’s employees will perform secretarial work in connection with the solicitation of proxies, for which no additional compensation will be paid. Banks, brokerage houses, and other custodians, nominees and fiduciaries will be requested to forward the Committee’s solicitation material to their customers for whom they hold shares and the Committee will reimburse them for their reasonable out-of-pocket expenses. The Committee has retained D. F. King & Co. to assist in the solicitation of proxies and for related services. The Committee will pay D. F. King & Co. a fee of up to $25,000 and has agreed to reimburse it for its reasonable out-of-pocket expenses. In addition, the Committee has also agreed to indemnify D. F. King & Co. against certain liabilities and expenses, including liabilities and expenses under the federal securities laws. The Securities and Exchange Commission deems such an indemnification to be against public policy. Approximately twenty-five (25) persons will be used by D. F. King & Co. in its solicitation efforts.
The entire expense of preparing, assembling, printing, and mailing this Proxy Statement and related materials and the cost of soliciting proxies will be borne by SAL, SIP, SIPII, LSBK, Broad Park, CBPS and 2514 MSF. (The Committee does not intend to solicit proxies via the Internet.)
Although no precise estimate can be made at the present time, the Committee currently estimates that the total expenditures relating to the Proxy Solicitation incurred by the Committee will be approximately $50,000, of which $0 has been incurred to date. The Committee intends to seek reimbursement from the Company for those expenses incurred by the Committee, if the Committee's Nominees are elected, but does not intend to submit the question of such reimbursement to a vote of the Shareholders.
For the proxy solicited hereby to be voted, the enclosed WHITE proxy card must be signed, dated, and returned to the Committee, c/o D. F. King & Co. Inc., in the enclosed envelope in time to be voted at the Annual Meeting. If you wish to vote for the Committee Nominees, you must submit the enclosed WHITE proxy card and must NOT submit the Company's proxy card. If you have already returned the Company's proxy card, you have the right to revoke it as to all matters covered thereby and may do so by subsequently signing, dating, and mailing the enclosed WHITE proxy card. ONLY YOUR LATEST DATED PROXY WILL COUNT AT THE ANNUAL MEETING. Execution of a WHITE proxy card will not affect your right to attend the Annual Meeting and to vote in person. Any proxy may be revoked as to all matters covered thereby at any time prior to the time a vote is taken by (i) filing with the Secretary of the Company a later dated written revocation; (ii) submitting a duly executed proxy bearing a later date to the Committee; or (iii) attending and voting at the Annual Meeting in person. Attendance at the Annual Meeting will not in and of itself constitute a revocation.
Shares of Common Stock represented by a valid, unrevoked WHITE proxy card will be voted as specified. You may vote for the Committee's Nominees or withhold authority to vote for the Committee's Nominees by marking the proper box on the WHITE proxy card. Shares represented by a WHITE proxy card where no specification has been made will be voted for the Committee's Nominees.
Except as set forth in this Proxy Statement, the Committee is not aware of any other matter to be considered at the Annual Meeting. The persons named as proxies on the enclosed WHITE proxy card will, however, have discretionary voting authority as such proxies regarding any other business that may properly come before the Annual Meeting.
If your shares are held in the name of a brokerage firm, bank, or nominee, only they can vote such shares and only upon receipt of your specific instructions. Accordingly, please return the proxy in the envelope provided to you or contact the person responsible for your account and instruct that person to execute on your behalf the WHITE proxy card.
Only holders of record of Common Stock on the Annual Meeting Record Date will be entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting. If you are a Shareholder of record on the Annual Meeting Record Date, you will retain the voting rights in connection with the Annual Meeting even if you sell such shares after the Annual Meeting Record Date. Accordingly, it is important that you vote the shares of Common Stock held by you on the Annual Meeting Record Date, or grant a proxy to vote such shares on the WHITE proxy card, even if you sell such shares after such date.
The Committee believes that it is in your best interest to elect the Committee's Nominees as Directors at the Annual Meeting. THE COMMITTEE STRONGLY RECOMMENDS A VOTE FOR THE COMMITTEE NOMINEES.
