Item 5.02 Departure of Directors or Principal Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Principal Officers.
On February 19, 2008, Victor J. Toy was elected by the Boards of Directors of Rainier Pacific Financial Group, Inc. (the "Company") and its wholly-owned subsidiary Rainier Pacific Savings Bank ("Bank") to serve on their respective Boards of Directors. Mr. Toy will fill the vacancy created by the death of Director Alan M. Somers and will stand for election at the upcoming Annual Meeting of Shareholders. Mr. Toy is Senior Vice President and Corporate Secretary of the Company and Senior Vice President of the Bank. He joined the Bank's predecessor in 1991 and has 25 years of financial services experience. Because Mr. Toy is a member of the management of the Company, it is not anticipated that he will serve on any committees of the Board of Directors.
There are no family relationships between Mr. Toy and any director or other executive officer of the Company or the Bank and he was not appointed as a director pursuant to any arrangement or understanding with any person. Mr. Toy has not engaged in any transaction with the Company or the Bank that would be reportable as a related party transaction under the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission.
