INFORMATION ABOUT VOTING

Who Can Vote at the Meeting

You are entitled to vote your shares of BCSB Bancorp common stock that you owned as of December 16, 2011. As of the close of business on December 16, 2011, a total of 3,188,665 shares of BCSB Bancorp common stock were outstanding.

The Company’s Articles of Incorporation provide that record holders of the Company’s common stock who beneficially own, either directly or indirectly, in excess of 10% of the Company’s outstanding shares are not entitled to any vote with respect to the shares held in excess of the 10% limit. With respect to shares held by a broker, bank or nominee, the Company generally will look beyond the holder of the shares to the person or entity for whom the shares are held when applying the voting limitation. However, where the ultimate owner of the shares has granted voting authority to the broker, bank or nominee that holds the shares, the Company will apply the 10% voting limitation to the broker, bank or nominee.

Ownership of Shares; Attending the Meeting

You may own shares of BCSB Bancorp in one or more of the following ways:

• Directly in your name as the shareholder of record;

• Indirectly through a broker, bank or other holder of record in “street name;” or

• Indirectly in the Baltimore County Savings Bank Employee Stock Ownership Plan (the “ESOP”); or

• Indirectly in the Baltimore County Savings Bank Employee Savings Plan (the “401(k) Plan”).

If your shares are registered directly in your name, you are the holder of record of these shares and we are sending these proxy materials directly to you. As the holder of record, you have the right to give your proxy directly to us or to vote in person at the meeting.

If you hold your shares in street name, your broker, bank or other holder of record is sending these proxy materials to you. As the beneficial owner, you have the right to direct your broker, bank or other holder of record how to vote by filling out a voting instruction card that accompanies your proxy materials. Your broker, bank or other holder of record may allow you to provide voting instructions by telephone or by the Internet. Please see the instruction card provided by your broker, bank or other holder of record that accompanies this proxy statement. If you hold your shares in street name, you will need proof of ownership to be admitted to the annual meeting. A recent brokerage statement or letter from a bank or broker are examples of proof of ownership. If you want to vote your shares of BCSB Bancorp common stock held in street name in person at the meeting, you must obtain a written proxy in your name from the broker, bank or other holder of record of your shares.

If you are a participant in the ESOP or the 401(k) Plan, see“Participants in Baltimore County Savings Bank’s ESOP and 401(k) Plan” below for information on how to vote your shares.

Quorum and Vote Required

Quorum. We will have a quorum and will be able to conduct the business of the annual meeting if the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of common stock entitled to vote are present at the meeting, either in person or by proxy.

Votes Required for Proposals. At this year’s annual meeting, shareholders will elect three directors to serve for a term of three years and one director to serve for a term of two years. In voting on the election of directors, you may vote in favor of the nominees, withhold votes as to all nominees, or withhold votes as to specific nominees. There is no cumulative voting for the election of directors. Directors must be elected by a plurality of the votes cast at the annual meeting. This means that the nominees receiving the greatest number of votes will be elected.

In voting on the ratification of the appointment of Stegman & Company as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm, you may vote in favor of the proposal, vote against the proposal or abstain from voting. To ratify the selection of Stegman & Company as our independent registered public accounting firm for fiscal 2012, the affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast at the annual meeting is required.

In voting on the non-binding resolution to approve the compensation of the named executive officers, you may vote in favor of the proposal, vote against the proposal or abstain from voting. To approve the non-binding resolution, the affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast at the annual meeting is required.

How We Count Votes. If you return valid proxy instructions or attend the meeting in person, we will count your shares for purposes of determining whether there is a quorum, even if you abstain from voting. Broker non-votes, if any, also will be counted for purposes of determining the existence of a quorum.

2

In the election of directors, votes that are withheld will have no effect on the outcome of the election. In counting votes on the proposal to ratify the selection of the independent registered public accountants and the non-binding resolution to approve the compensation of the named executive officers abstentions, broker non-votes will not be counted as votes cast and will have no effect on the outcome of the voting on the proposals.

Voting by Proxy

The Board of Directors of BCSB Bancorp is sending you this proxy statement for the purpose of requesting that you allow your shares of BCSB Bancorp common stock to be represented at the annual meeting by the persons named in the enclosed proxy card. All shares of BCSB Bancorp common stock represented at the annual meeting by properly executed and dated proxy cards will be voted according to the instructions indicated on the proxy card. If you sign, date and return a proxy card without giving voting instructions, your shares will be voted as recommended by the Company’s Board of Directors.

The Board of Directors recommends a vote:

• “FOR” each of the nominees for director;

• “FOR” the ratification of the appointment of Stegman & Company as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2012; and

• “FOR” the approval of the compensation of the named executive officers,

This includes a motion to adjourn or postpone the annual meeting in order to solicit additional proxies.

To revoke your proxy you must either advise the Corporate Secretary of the Company in writing before your common stock has been voted at the annual meeting, deliver a later-dated proxy, or attend the meeting and vote your shares in person.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE

Director Independence

The Company’s Board of Directors consists of nine members, all of whom are independent under the current listing requirements of the Nasdaq Stock Market, except for Joseph J. Bouffard, who is not independent because he serves as the President and Chief Executive Officer of BCSB Bancorp and Baltimore County Savings Bank. In concluding that Director Michael J. Klein is an independent director, the Board considered the fact that Mr. Klein is a member holding a 20% ownership interest in Colgate Investments, LLC, a limited liability company that owns real property that Baltimore County Savings Bank leases for a branch office site. Baltimore County Savings Bank paid $74,000 in rent to Colgate Investments, LLC during the year ended September 30, 2011. The remaining 80% of Colgate Investments, LLC is owned by Mr. Klein’s immediate family members. In determining the independence of its directors, the Board considered transactions, relationships and arrangements between BCSB Bancorp, Baltimore County Savings Bank and their directors that were not required to be disclosed in this proxy statement under the heading“Other Information Relating to Directors and Executive Officers—Transactions with Related Persons,” including loans made by the Bank to its executive officers and directors.

Board Leadership Structure and Board’s Role in Risk Oversight

The Board of Directors has determined that the separation of the offices of Chairman of the Board and President and Chief Executive Officer enhances Board independence and oversight. Moreover, the separation of the Chairman of the Board and President and Chief Executive Officer allows the President and Chief Executive Officer to better focus on his growing responsibilities of running the Company, enhancing shareholder value and expanding and strengthening the Company’s franchise while allowing the Chairman of the Board to lead the Board in its fundamental role of providing advice to and independent oversight of management. Consistent with this determination, Henry V. Kahl serves as Chairman of the Board of Directors. Mr. Kahl is independent under the listing requirements of The NASDAQ Stock Market.

Risk is inherent with every business, and how well a business manages risk can ultimately determine its success. The Company faces a number of risks, including credit risk, interest rate risk, liquidity risk, operational risk, strategic risk and reputation risk. Management is responsible for the day-to-day management of risks the Company faces, while the Board, as a whole and through its committees, has responsibility for the oversight of risk management. In its risk oversight role, the Board of Directors has the responsibility to satisfy itself that the risk management processes designed and implemented by management are adequate and functioning as designed. To do this, the Chairman of the Board meets regularly with management to discuss strategy and the risks facing the Company. Senior management attends the Board meetings and is available to address any questions or concerns raised by the Board on risk management and any other matters. The Chairman of the Board and independent members of the Board work together to provide strong, independent oversight of the Company’s management and affairs through its standing committees and, when necessary, special meetings of independent directors.

Committees of the Board of Directors

The following table identifies our standing committees and their members as of September 30, 2011. All members of each committee are independent in accordance with the listing standards of the Nasdaq Stock Market. Each of the committees acts under a written charter adopted by the Board of Directors. The charters of all three committees are available in the “About BCSB - Stockholder Relations” section of our website (www.baltcosavings.com).

(1) Director Kahl serves as an ex officio member of each committee.

Audit Committee.The Board of Directors has a separately designated Audit Committee established in accordance with Section 3(a)(58)(A) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). The Audit Committee examines and approves the audit report prepared by our independent registered public accounting firm, reviews and recommends the independent registered public accounting firm to be engaged and reviews accounting, auditing, internal control structure and financial reporting matters. The Board of Directors has determined that two members of the Audit Committee, William J. Kappauf, Jr. and Richard J. Lashley, qualify as an “audit committee financial expert” as defined in Section 401(h) of Regulation S-K promulgated by the Securities Exchange Commission. Directors Kappauf and Lashley are “independent,” as such term is defined in Item 7(d)(3)(iv)(A) of Schedule 14A under the Exchange Act.

Compensation Committee.The Compensation Committee approves the compensation objectives for the Company and the Bank and establishes the compensation for the President and Chief Executive Officer and other executives, including base salary, annual incentive, long-term incentives, benefits and other perquisites. In addition to reviewing competitive market values, the Compensation Committee also examines the total compensation mix, pay-for-performance relationship, and how all elements, in the aggregate, comprise the executives’ total compensation package. The Compensation Committee reports its evaluations and findings to the full Board of Directors and all compensation decisions are ratified by the full Board of Directors. The Company’s Chief Executive Officer makes recommendations regarding the compensation of the executive officers of the Company and the Bank but does not participate in deliberations regarding his own compensation. For the year ended September 30, 2011, the Compensation Committee retained McLagan Partners, an Aon Hewitt company, to assist it in evaluating its existing practices, strategies and levels for director and officer compensation and to recommend enhancements in such areas. The Compensation Committee has also utilized a survey prepared by a trade group to evaluate compensation practices in the past.

Nominating Committee.Our Nominating Committee nominates directors to be voted on at the annual meeting and recommends nominees to fill any vacancies on the Board of Directors. The members of the Nominating Committee are “independent directors” as defined in NASDAQ Stock Market listing standards.

Nominating Committee Procedures

Minimum Qualifications.The Nominating Committee has adopted a set of criteria that it considers when it selects individuals to be nominated for election to the Board of Directors. A candidate must meet any qualification requirements set forth in any Board or committee governing documents.

The Nominating Committee seeks to create a Board that is strong in its collective knowledge and has a diversity of skills and experience with respect to accounting and finance, management and leadership, vision and strategy, business operations, business judgment, industry knowledge and corporate governance. Accordingly, the Nominating Committee will consider the following criteria in selecting nominees: personal and professional integrity; knowledge of the banking business and involvement in the community; business and civic affairs; whether a nominee would provide for adequate representation of the Bank’s market area; independence; and any other factors the Nominating Committee deems relevant, including age, diversity, size of the Board of Directors and regulatory disclosure obligations.

In addition, prior to nominating an existing director for re-election to the Board of Directors, the Nominating Committee will consider and review an existing director’s Board and committee attendance and performance; length of Board service; experience, skills and contributions that the existing director brings to the Board; and independence.

Director Nomination Process.The process that the Nominating Committee follows when it identifies and evaluates individuals to be nominated for election to the Board of Directors is as follows:

Identification.For purposes of identifying nominees for the Board of Directors, the Nominating Committee relies on personal contacts of the committee members and other members of the Board of Directors, as well as their knowledge of members of the communities served by the Bank. The Nominating Committee has not previously used an independent search firm to identify nominees.

Evaluation.In evaluating potential nominees, the Nominating Committee determines whether the candidate is eligible and qualified for service on the Board of Directors by evaluating the candidate under the selection criteria set forth above. In addition, the Nominating Committee will conduct a check of the individual’s background and interview the candidate.

Consideration of Recommendations by Stockholders.It is the policy of the Nominating Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company to consider director candidates recommended by shareholders who appear to be qualified to serve on the Company’s Board of Directors. The Nominating Committee may choose not to consider an unsolicited recommendation if no vacancy exists on the Board of Directors and the Nominating Committee does not perceive a need to increase the size of the Board of Directors. In order to avoid the unnecessary use of the Nominating Committee’s resources, the Nominating Committee will consider only those director candidates recommended in accordance with the procedures set forth below.

Procedures to be Followed by Shareholders.To submit a recommendation of a director candidate to the Nominating Committee, a shareholder should submit the following information in writing, addressed to the Chairman of the Nominating Committee, care of the Corporate Secretary, at the main office of the Company:

1. The name of the person recommended as a director candidate;

6

2. All information relating to such person that is required to be disclosed in solicitations of proxies for election of directors pursuant to Regulation 14A under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended;

3. The written consent of the person being recommended as a director candidate to being named in the proxy statement as a nominee and to serving as a director if elected;

4. As to the shareholder making the recommendation, the name and address, as they appear on the Company’s books, of such shareholder; provided, however, that if the shareholder is not a registered holder of the Company’s common stock, the shareholder should submit his or her name and address along with a current written statement from the record holder of the shares that reflects ownership of the Company’s common stock; and

5. A statement disclosing whether such shareholder is acting with or on behalf of any other person and, if applicable, the identity of such person.

In order for a director candidate to be considered for nomination at the Company’s annual meeting of shareholders, the recommendation must be received by the Nominating Committee at least 120 calendar days prior to the date the Company’s proxy statement was released to shareholders in connection with the previous year’s annual meeting, advanced by one year.

Board and Committee Meetings

The Company and Baltimore County Savings Bank conduct business through meetings and activities of their Boards of Directors and their committees. During the fiscal year ended September 30, 2011, the Board of Directors of the Company held 12 regular meetings and one special meeting. No director attended fewer than 75% of the total meetings, during the period in which he served, of the Boards of Directors and Committees on which he served.

Code of Ethics and Business Conduct

The Company has adopted a Code of Ethics and Business Conduct that is designed to ensure that the Company’s directors, executive officers and employees meet high standards of ethical conduct. The Code of Ethics and Business Conduct requires that the Company’s directors, executive officers and employees avoid conflicts of interest, comply with all laws and other legal requirements, conduct business in an honest and ethical manner and otherwise act with integrity and in the Company’s best interest. Under the terms of the Code of Ethics and Business Conduct, directors, executive officers and employees are required to report any conduct that they believe in good faith to be an actual or apparent violation of the Code of Ethics and Business Conduct.

As a mechanism to encourage compliance with the Code of Ethics and Business Conduct, the Company has established procedures to receive, retain and treat complaints received regarding accounting, internal accounting controls or auditing matters. These procedures ensure that individuals may submit concerns regarding questionable accounting or auditing matters in a confidential and anonymous manner. The Code of Ethics and Business Conduct also prohibits the Company from retaliating against any director, executive officer or employee who reports actual or apparent violations of the Code of Ethics and Business Conduct.

AUDIT RELATED MATTERS

Report of the Audit Committee

The Company’s management is responsible for the Company’s internal controls and financial reporting process. The Company’s independent registered public accounting firm (the “independent accountants”) are responsible for performing an independent audit of the Company’s consolidated financial statements and issuing an opinion on the conformity of those financial statements with generally accepted accounting principles. The Audit Committee oversees the Company’s internal controls and financial reporting process on behalf of the Board of Directors.

In this context, the Audit Committee has met and held discussions with management, the internal auditors and the independent accountants. Management represented to the Audit Committee that the Company’s consolidated financial statements were prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and the Audit Committee has reviewed and discussed the consolidated financial statements with management and the independent accountants. The Audit Committee discussed with the independent accountants matters required to be discussed by Statement on Auditing Standards No. 114, as amended (AICPA, Professional Standards, Vol. 1 AV Section 380), as adopted by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board in Rule 3200T, including the quality, not just the acceptability, of the accounting principles, the reasonableness of significant judgments, and the clarity of the disclosures in the financial statements.

In addition, the Audit Committee has received the written disclosures and the letter from the independent registered public accounting firm required by the Independence Standards Board Standard No. 1 (Independence Discussions with Audit Committees), as adopted by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board in Rule 3600T, and has discussed with the independent accountants the independent registered public accounting firm’s independence from the Company and its management. In concluding that the independent registered public accounting firm is independent, the Audit Committee considered, among other factors, whether the non-audit services provided by the independent registered public accounting firm were compatible with its independence.

The Audit Committee discussed with the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm the overall scope and plans for their audit. The Audit Committee meets with the independent registered public registered public accounting firm, with and without management and the internal accountants present, to discuss the results of their examination, their evaluation of the Company’s internal controls, and the overall quality of the Company’s financial reporting.

In performing all of these functions, the Audit Committee acts only in an oversight capacity. In its oversight role, the Audit Committee relies on the work and assurances of the Company’s management, which has the primary responsibility for financial statements and reports, and of the independent accountants who, in their report, express an opinion on the conformity of the Company’s financial statements to generally accepted accounting principles. The Audit Committee’s oversight does not provide it with an independent basis to determine that management has maintained appropriate accounting and financial reporting principles or policies, or appropriate internal controls and procedures designed to assure compliance with accounting standards and applicable laws and regulations. Furthermore, the Audit Committee’s considerations and discussions with management and the independent accountants do not assure that the Company’s financial statements are presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, that the audit of the Company’s consolidated financial statements has been carried out in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) or that the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm is in fact “independent.”

8

In reliance on the reviews and discussions referred to above, the Audit Committee recommended to the Board of Directors, and the Board has approved, that the audited consolidated financial statements be included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2011 for filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The Audit Committee has approved, subject to shareholder ratification, the selection of the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm.

Policy on Audit Committee Pre-Approval of Audit and Permissible Non-Audit Services of Independent Registered Public Accountants.The Audit Committee is responsible for appointing and reviewing the work of the independent registered public accounting firm and setting the independent registered public accounting firm’s compensation. In accordance with its charter, the Audit Committee approves, in advance, all audit and permissible non-audit services to be performed by the independent registered public accounting firm. This approval process ensures that the independent registered public accounting firm does not provide any non-audit services to the Company that are prohibited by law or regulation.

If the ratification of the appointment of the independent registered public accounting firm is not approved by a majority of the votes cast by shareholders at the annual meeting, the Audit Committee will consider other independent registered public accounting firms.

The Board of Directors recommends a vote “FOR” the ratification of the appointment of Stegman & Company as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm.

Item 3 – Advisory Vote on Executive Compensation

The Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010 (“Dodd-Frank”) requires, beginning in 2013, that we provide our shareholders with the opportunity to express their views, on a non-binding, advisory basis, on the compensation of our named executive officers as disclosed in this proxy statement. Although not currently required, the Company will follow the non-binding resolution approved at the Company’s 2011 Annual Meeting recommending that executive compensation be voted on by shareholders every year. This vote, which is often referred to as the “say-on-pay” vote, provides shareholders with the opportunity to endorse or not endorse the following resolution:

“Resolved, that the shareholders approve the compensation of the named executive officers, as described in the tabular disclosure regarding named executive officer compensation and the accompanying narrative disclosure in this proxy statement.”

Because your vote is advisory, it will not be binding upon the Board of Directors. However, the Compensation Committee will take into account the outcome of the vote when considering future executive compensation arrangements.

The Board of Directors unanimously recommends a vote “FOR” approval of the compensation of the named executive officers.

Employment Agreements

Employment Agreement.On November 27, 2006, Baltimore County Savings Bank executed an employment agreement with Joseph J. Bouffard under which he serves as President and Chief Executive Officer of Baltimore County Savings Bank. The employment agreement provided for a three-year term and is subject to annual renewal by the Board of Directors and may be extended for an additional year so that the remaining term of the Agreement again becomes 36 months. The material terms of the employment agreement includes base salary, bonus or other incentive compensation and restricted stock awards and stock options at the discretion of the Board of Directors. The current salary and incentive compensation under Mr. Bouffard’s agreement is included in the Executive Compensation table and Outstanding Equity Awards table contained in this proxy statement. Also included in the Agreement:

• Mr. Bouffard participates in any life insurance, medical insurance, dental insurance, pension, profit sharing, retirement and other benefit programs and arrangements that Baltimore County Savings Bank may sponsor or maintain for the benefit of senior management employees and its employees generally;

• Mr. Bouffard will be eligible for certain other fringe benefits described in the employment agreement; and

• Baltimore County Savings Bank may terminate Mr. Bouffard’s employment for cause, in which case Mr. Bouffard would have no right to receive compensation or other benefits for any period after termination, except for already vested benefits.

Under the terms of our employment agreement with Mr. Bouffard, upon involuntary termination of employment or voluntary termination under circumstances that constitute constructive termination, Mr. Bouffard will receive a lump sum salary continuation benefit equal 36 months’ base salary.

Our employment agreement with Mr. Bouffard further provides that in the event of termination due to disability, Mr. Bouffard will be entitled to the compensation and benefits provided for under the agreement for (i) any period during the term of the agreement and prior to the establishment of Mr. Bouffard’s disability during which he is unable to work due to such disability, or (ii) any period of disability prior to Mr. Bouffard’s termination of employment due to disability; provided, however, that any benefits paid pursuant to our long-term disability plan will continue as provided in such plan.

Bank. The agreements have terms ending on the earlier of (a) January 1, 2013, or (b) the date on which the employee terminates employment with Baltimore County Savings Bank. The term of the severance agreements may be extended for additional one-year periods beyond the then effective expiration date upon a determination by the Board of Directors that the performance of these individuals has met the required performance standards and that such severance agreements should be extended. The employee becomes entitled to collect severance benefits under the severance agreement in the event within the period beginning 12 months before a change of control and ending 18 months after a change of control the employee (i) experiences a “change in duties,” as explained below, (ii) is involuntarily terminated for reasons other than “cause,” as defined in the agreement, death or disability, or resigns following a change in duties, or (iii) voluntarily terminates employment for any reason within the 30-day period beginning on the date of a change of control. Under the agreement, a change in duties is defined to include a significant adverse change in the status, title, position, responsibilities, or scope of the employee’s authority or duties, assignment to the employee of any duties or responsibilities which are inconsistent with his or her status, title, or position, a material reduction in the employee’s total compensation, a diminution in the employee’s eligibility to participate in compensation plans, a relocation of the employee’s principal place of employment by more than 30 miles, or a reasonable determination by the board of directors that, as a result of a change of control and change in circumstances thereafter, the employee is unable to exercise the authorities, powers, functions or duties attached to his or her position.

In the event an employee becomes entitled to receive severance benefits, the employee (i) will be paid an amount equal to 2.99 times the annualized cash compensation paid to the employee in the immediately preceding 12-month period (excluding board fees and bonuses), and (ii) will receive either cash in an amount equal to the cost to the employee of obtaining all health, life, disability and other benefits which the employee would have been eligible to participate in through the second annual anniversary date of his termination of employment or continued participation in such benefit plans through the second annual anniversary date of his termination of employment, to the extent the employee would continue to qualify for participation therein. Under the terms of the agreements, the employees will receive severance in a lump sum cash payment within 10 business days of their termination of employment following a change of control.

In the event that one of these employees prevails over Baltimore County Savings Bank in a legal dispute as to the severance agreement, he or she will be reimbursed for legal and other expenses. In connection with the conversion, the severance agreements have been amended and restated to make BCSB Bancorp a guarantor of Baltimore County Savings Bank’s obligations under the severance agreements and to limit the payments to the employees in the event payments under the severance agreements together with other change in control benefits may result in a “parachute payment” under 280G of the Code. See“—Employment Agreement” above for definition of parachute payment.

Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan.Baltimore County Savings Bank has entered into agreements with Mr. Meadows and other senior executive officers to provide supplemental retirement benefits. Mr. Meadows is entitled to his supplemental retirement benefit upon termination of employment (other than for cause) at or upon attaining age 65. If he terminates employment after attaining age 65, Baltimore County Savings Bank will pay Mr. Meadows an annual retirement benefit equal to 11.8% of his final compensation. For purposes of the agreement, final compensation equals Mr. Meadows highest three calendar year’s average cash compensation. The Bank will pay the annual retirement benefit monthly over a period of 180 months. If Mr. Meadows terminates employment before reaching 65 years of age, or is terminated by Baltimore County Savings Bank for any reason other than for cause, Baltimore County Savings Bank will pay Mr. Meadows a reduced annual benefit, based on amounts accrued for him prior to termination, commencing at age 65, over a 180-month period. Should Mr. Meadows die while employed by Baltimore County Savings Bank or after payments have begun, a designated beneficiary will receive the balance owed to him on the date of death in the same method and manner as if he were still alive.

19

In 2010, we adopted a supplemental executive retirement plan for the benefit of Messrs. Bouffard and Cole and certain other senior management of the Bank. Upon separation of service after reaching age 65, the plan provides participants with an annual defined benefit (payable in monthly installments for a period of 15 years) equal to 50% of the participant’s Final Pay. Final Pay is defined as a participant’s average rate of annual base salary for the three (3) calendar years ending prior to the effective date of the participant’s termination of employment that results in the highest average rate of annual base salary. If a participant terminates prior to age 65, the participant will receive the Accrual Balance, which is the amount accrued by the Bank with respect to the Bank’s obligation to the participant under the plan. In the event a change in control, participants who have not attained age 65 and have not terminated service with the Bank will receive a lump sum plan benefit that is the actuarially equivalent of the benefit the participant would have received if he or she terminated service with the Bank after reaching age 65. In the event a participant is terminated for cause, the participant will forfeit all benefits accrued under the plan.

Plan participants who terminate service with the Bank due to a disability prior to attaining age 65 will receive a plan benefit equal to the liability that should be accrued by the Bank to reflect the Bank’s obligations to the participants, without regard to whether such amount is actually accrued as of a participant’s separation of service, less any amount covered by a separate disability insurance policy (excluding any short-term or long-term disability program sponsored by the Bank) not to exceed an amount equal to the actuarial equivalent lump sum of the product of the participant’s benefit percentage multiplied by his/her Final Pay paid for fifteen (15) years. The disability benefit under the Plan is payable in a single lump sum payment on the first business day of the first calendar quarter beginning after the later of the date the benefit from the disability policy is received or the date of disability if not insured. If a participant dies before a separation from service, at the participant’s death the participant’s beneficiary shall be entitled to the participant’s accrual balance in the Plan, less the benefit described in an endorsement split dollar agreement entered into with the participant. If a participant is not a party to an endorsement split dollar agreement at the time of his/her death, the Bank shall, as soon as practicable following his/her death, pay the participant’s beneficiary a lump sum amount equal to the participant’s accrual balance. If a participant dies after a separation from service but prior to the time all payments have been made under the plan, the remaining payments shall be made in an actuarial equivalent lump sum payment.

Survivor Income Plan.Baltimore County Savings Bank maintains a survivor income plan for the benefit of certain officers. Named executive officer Meadows and other senior executive officers of the Bank participate in the survivor income plan. The survivor income plan provides a benefit to survivors upon the death of the participant provided the participant is employed by Baltimore County Savings Bank and has been employed by Baltimore County Savings Bank for ten years at the time of death or terminates employment for any reason other than cause after attaining age 55 with ten years of service. Under this plan, upon his death, the beneficiaries of Mr. Meadows would receive a death benefit of $250,000, payable in a lump sum within 90 days following death.

The dollar amount reflects the aggregate date fair value for option awards granted during the year, computed in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 718. The aggregate grant date fair value for stock option awards was calculated based on the stock price as of the date of grant, which was $10.29, using the Black-Scholes option pricing model and a dividend yield of 0%, expected volatility of 32.23%, risk-free interest rate of 1.17% and expected lives of seven years.

(3) Mr. Lashley was appointed to the Board on July 29, 2011.

Cash Retainers and Meeting Fees. The following table sets forth the applicable retainers and fees that were paid to our directors for their service on our Board of Directors during fiscal 2011.

Deferred Compensation Plan.Baltimore County Savings Bank maintains a deferred compensation plan. The Deferred Compensation Plan provides members of the Board of Directors and selected executives with the ability to defer a portion of their compensation. The plan preserves a stock component of the prior plan. Prior to each plan year, each non-employee director may elect to defer receipt of all or part of his future fees (including retainers). On each September 30th, each director participant who has between three and 12 years of service as a director will have his account credited with $6,222. No director may receive credit for more than 12 years of service. A director participant who,

21

after July 1, 1995, completes three years of service as a director, will have his account credited with $24,000 on the September 30th following his completion of three years of service. At the election of the participant, distributions may be made in a lump sum or installments.

Baltimore County Savings Bank has established a grantor trust and may, at any time or from time to time, make additional contributions to the trust. In the event of a change in control, Baltimore County Savings Bank will contribute to the trust an amount sufficient to provide the trust with assets having an overall value equal to the aggregate account balances under the Plan. The trust’s assets are subject to the claims of Baltimore County Savings Bank’s general creditors and are available for eventual payments to participants.

Director Retirement Benefits.Baltimore County Savings Bank has entered in agreements with its non-employee directors, except Mr. Moretti, Mr. Loughran and Mr. Lashley, to provide them with supplemental retirement benefits. Under the agreements, each director becomes entitled to an annual retirement benefit equal to $9,000, payable monthly for 15 years, if he terminates service after attaining age 70. If the director terminates service prior to age 70 (including by reason of death), Baltimore County Savings Bank will pay him, or his beneficiaries in the case of death, a reduced annual benefit over 15 years, commencing at age 70.

Stock Benefit Plans.Directors are also eligible to receive equity-based awards under the Company’s stock option plan, management recognition plan and 2009 Equity Incentive Plan. During the year ended September 30, 2011, each non-employee director, except for Director Lashley who was not a member of the Board at the time of the award, received $31,569 in restricted stock awards, or 3,068 shares of restricted stock, and $78,914 in stock options, or 7,669 options.

Reimbursement for Tax Advice.Baltimore County Savings Bank’s Board of Directors has also adopted a policy to reimburse designated directors and officers for expenses they incur in connection with professional tax, estate planning or financial advice they obtain related to the benefits they receive under the stock and non-stock related benefit plans of Baltimore County Savings Bank and BCSB Bancorp. Reimbursements are limited to $1,000 for each eligible individual during any fiscal year, with a one-time allowance not to exceed $5,000 for estate planning expenses. The level of annual reimbursements may be increased to $2,000 on a one-time basis in the event of a change in control of BCSB Bancorp. Director Kappauf received a reimbursement of $725 for estate planning during the year ended September 30, 2011.

OTHER INFORMATION RELATING TO

DIRECTORS AND EXECUTIVE OFFICERS

Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance

Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 requires the Company’s executive officers and directors, and persons who own more than 10% of any registered class of the Company’s equity securities, to file reports of ownership and changes in ownership with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Executive officers, directors and greater than 10% shareholders are required by regulation to furnish the Company with copies of all Section 16(a) reports they file. Based solely on the Company’s review of copies of the reports it has received and written representations provided to it from the individuals required to file the reports, the Company believes that each of its executive officers and directors has complied with applicable reporting requirements for transactions in BCSB Bancorp common stock during the year ended September 30, 2011, except that Daniel R. Wernecke filed one late Form 4 with respect to two transactions.

Transactions with Related Persons

Loans and Extensions of Credit.The Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 generally prohibits loans by Baltimore County Savings Bank to its executive officers and directors. However, the Sarbanes-Oxley Act contains a specific exemption from such prohibition for loans by a depository institution to its executive officers and directors in compliance with federal banking regulations. Federal regulations require that all loans or extensions of credit to executive officers and directors of insured institutions must be made on substantially the same terms, including interest rates and collateral, as those prevailing at the time for comparable transactions with other persons and must not involve more than the normal risk of repayment or present other unfavorable features. Baltimore County Savings Bank offers loans to its directors and officers. These loans currently are made in the ordinary course of business with the same collateral, interest rates and underwriting criteria as those of comparable transactions prevailing at the time and do not involve more than the normal risk of collectibility or present other unfavorable features. All loans to such persons must be approved in advance by a disinterested majority of the Board of Directors.

In addition, loans made to a director or executive officer in an amount that, when aggregated with the amount of all other loans to the person and his or her related interests, are in excess of the greater of $25,000 or 5% of Baltimore County Savings Bank’s capital and surplus, up to a maximum of $500,000, must be approved in advance by a majority of the disinterested members of the Board of Directors.

The aggregate amount of loans by us to executive officers and directors was $250,000 at September 30, 2011, or approximately .48% of stockholders’ equity. These loans were performing according to their original terms at September 30, 2011. All loans made by Baltimore County Savings Bank to its directors and executive officers and members of their immediate families were made in the ordinary course of business, were made on substantially the same terms, including interest rates and collateral, as those prevailing at the time for comparable transactions with other persons not related to Baltimore County Savings Bank, and did not involve more than the normal risk of collectibility or present other unfavorable features.

Approval of Related-Party Transactions.Under the Audit Committee Charter, it is the responsibility of the Audit Committee to review all related party transactions,i.e., transactions required to be disclosed under Securities and Exchange Commission Regulation S-K, Item 404, for potential conflict of interest situations on an ongoing basis and to determine whether to approve such transactions. Our Code of Ethics and Business Conduct also provides that all executive officers and directors must disclose any private interest that presents the possibility of conflicts of interest with BCSB Bancorp or Baltimore County Savings Bank.

SUBMISSION OF BUSINESS PROPOSALS AND SHAREHOLDER NOMINATIONS

The Company must receive proposals that shareholders seek to include in the proxy statement for the Company’s next annual meeting no later than September 8, 2012. If next year’s annual meeting is held on a date more than 30 calendar days from February 8, 2013, a shareholder proposal must be received by a reasonable time before the Company begins to print and mail its proxy solicitation for such annual meeting. Any shareholder proposals will be subject to the requirements of the proxy rules adopted by the Securities and Exchange Commission.

The Company’s Bylaws provide that, in order for a shareholder to make nominations for the election of directors or proposals for business to be brought before the annual meeting, a shareholder must deliver notice of such nominations and/or proposals to the Corporate Secretary not less than 90 days prior to the date of the annual meeting; however, if less than 100 days’ notice of the annual meeting is given to shareholders, such notice must be delivered not later than the close of the tenth day following the day on which notice of the annual meeting was mailed to shareholders or public disclosure of the meeting date. A copy of the Bylaws may be obtained from the Company.

SHAREHOLDER COMMUNICATIONS AND ANNUAL MEETING ATTENDANCE

The Company encourages shareholder communications to the Board of Directors and/or individual directors. Shareholders who wish to communicate with the Board of Directors or an individual director should send their communications to the care of David M. Meadows, Corporate Secretary, BCSB Bancorp, Inc., 4111 E. Joppa Road, Baltimore, Maryland 21236. All communications that relate to matters that are within the scope of the responsibilities of the Board and its committees are to be presented to the Board no later than its next regularly scheduled meeting. Communications that relate to matters that are within the responsibility of one of the Board committees are also to be forwarded to the Chair of the appropriate Board committee. Communications that relate to ordinary business matters that are not within the scope of the Board’s responsibilities, such as customer complaints, are to be sent to the appropriate officer. Solicitations, junk mail and obviously frivolous or inappropriate communications are not to be forwarded, but will be made available to any director who wishes to review them.

Directors are expected to prepare themselves for and to attend all Board meetings, the annual meeting of shareholders and the meetings of the Committees on which they serve, with the understanding that on occasion a director may be unable to attend a meeting. All of the Company’s then serving directors attended the Company’s 2011 Annual Meeting of Shareholders.

MISCELLANEOUS

The Company will pay the cost of this proxy solicitation. The Company will reimburse brokerage firms and other custodians, nominees and fiduciaries for reasonable expenses incurred by them in sending proxy materials to the beneficial owners of BCSB Bancorp common stock. In addition to soliciting proxies by mail, directors, officers and regular employees of the Company may solicit proxies personally or by telephone without receiving additional compensation.

The Company’s annual report to shareholders has been mailed to persons who were shareholders as of the close of business on December 16, 2011. Any shareholder who has not received a copy of the annual report may obtain a copy by writing to the Secretary of the Company. The annual report is not to be treated as part of the proxy solicitation material or as having been incorporated in this proxy statement by reference.

24

A copy of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K, without exhibits, for the year ended September 30, 2011, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, will be furnished without charge to persons who were shareholders as of the close of business on December 16, 2011 upon written request to David M.
