On November 30, 2011, the Board of Directors (“Board”) of CMS Bancorp, Inc. (the “Company”) approved and adopted a stock purchase policy to further the Board’s goals of showing the Board’s support for the Company and to enhance the liquidity of the Company’s stock. Under the new policy, it is contemplated that each director would commit to invest at least 50% of the annual compensation received for his or her Board service, including for Board and committee meetings as well as retainer fees, in Company stock. While a director’s participation is strongly encouraged, it is not mandatory; however, non-participation will be taken into consideration when the director is re-evaluated at the time of his or her next nomination for re-election. The new policy will become effective on January 1, 2012.
