On January 31, 2007, the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of Old Line Bancshares, Inc.

Based on this review, effective January 31, 2007, the Board of Directors determined that the Registrant will not pay a cash bonus to any executive officer and granted incentive stock options at fair market value to Mr. Cornelsen, Mr. Burnett and Ms. Rush as follows:

James W. Cornelsen | 18,200 | $ | 7.75 | |||||||
Joseph Burnett | 9,800 | $ | 7.75 | |||||||
Christine Rush | 9,300 | $ | 7.75 |
One-third of the option grant vested on January 31, 2008, one-third of the option grant will vest on January 31, 2009 and one-third of the option grant will vest on January 31, 2010. The options were evidenced by Stock Option Agreements in the form filed as Exhibit 10.2 to the Form 8-K filed with the SEC on January 5, 2005.
