Item 4.
Purpose of Transaction
 
This is the PL Capital Group’s eighth amendment to its initial Schedule 13D filing.  The PL Capital Group acquired shares of Common Stock because it believes that the Common Stock is undervalued.
 
The PL Capital Group nominated Mr. Palmer as a nominee for election as a director at the Company’s 2010 Annual Shareholder Meeting, and Mr. Palmer was elected by the shareholders at the 2010 Annual Shareholder Meeting to serve a three-year term as a director.  For copies of the PL Capital Group’s correspondence with the Company related to the proxy contest, the shareholder derivative demand and certain other corporate governance items see Exhibit 2, Exhibit 3, Exhibit 4, Exhibit 5, Exhibit 6, Exhibit 7, Exhibit 8, Exhibit 9, Exhibit 10, Exhibit 11, Exhibit 12, Exhibit 13, Exhibit 14, Exhibit 15 and Exhibit 16 attached hereto.
 
In connection with this proxy contest, the PL Capital Group requested reimbursement from the Company for its out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with its efforts to nominate and elect Mr. Palmer to the Company’s Board of Directors.  After discussions between the PL Capital Group and the Company, the parties entered into a Standstill Agreement dated November 18, 2010 (the “Agreement”), pursuant to which the Company will reimburse the PL Capital Group for its out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with the proxy contest in an amount equal to $150,000 and cause Mr. Palmer to be reelected to the Board of Directors of Citizens Financial Bank during the term of the Agreement.

 
 

 

CUSIP No. 12525D102
Page 21 of 28 Pages

In turn, during the term of the Agreement, the PL Capital Group has agreed, among other things, to vote its shares of Common Stock in favor of the directors nominated by the Company’s Board of Directors, and not to take certain actions related to control of the Company.  A copy of the Agreement is attached as Exhibit 17 hereto.
 
Members of the PL Capital Group may make further purchases of shares of Common Stock.  Members of the PL Capital Group may dispose of any or all the shares of Common Stock held by them, subject to the terms and conditions of the Agreement.
 
To the extent the actions described herein may be deemed to constitute a “control purpose” with respect to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the regulations thereunder, the PL Capital Group has such a purpose.  Except as noted in this Schedule 13D, no member of the PL Capital Group has any plans or proposals, which relate to, or would result in, any of the matters referred to in paragraphs (b) through (j), inclusive of Item (4) of Schedule 13D.  Such individuals may, at any time and from time to time, review or reconsider their positions and formulate plans or proposals with respect thereto.
 
Item 5.
Interest in Securities of the Company
 
The percentages used in this amended Schedule 13D are calculated based upon 10,851,724 outstanding shares of Common Stock.  This is the number of shares of Common Stock that the Company reported as outstanding as of October 27, 2010 in its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, which was filed on October 28, 2010.  The PL Capital Group’s transactions in the Common Stock within the past 60 days of the date of this filing are as follows:

(d)           that on any other proposal not involving the election of directors of the Company submitted to shareholders for a vote at any special or annual meeting of shareholders during the Standstill Period (defined below), to vote all the PL Capital Shares it beneficially owns in accordance with the recommendation of the Company’s Board of Directors and to not oppose such proposals publicly or privately.
 
Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the foregoing limitations shall not be deemed to limit actions that may be taken by Mr. Palmer in the good faith discharge of his fiduciary duties as a member of the Company’s Board or the Bank’s Board of Directors.
 
5.2           Standstill.  From the date of this Agreement and continuing through the Termination Date (the “Standstill Period”), except pursuant to a transaction approved by the Board, the PL Capital Parties and their respective Affiliates will not, in any manner, directly or indirectly:
 
(a)           make, effect, initiate, cause or participate in (i) any acquisition of any assets of the Company or its subsidiaries, (ii) any tender offer, exchange offer, merger, business combination, recapitalization, restructuring, liquidation, dissolution or extraordinary transaction involving the Company or its subsidiaries or (iii) any “solicitation” of “proxies” (as those terms are used in the proxy rules of the SEC promulgated pursuant to Section 14 of the Exchange Act) or consents with respect to any securities of the Company;
 
(b)           form, join or participate in a “group” (as defined in Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act, and the rules promulgated thereunder) other than a group involving the PL Capital Parties, pooling agreement, syndicate or voting trust with respect to the beneficial ownership of any securities of the Company, or otherwise act in concert with another shareholder of the Company for the purpose of acquiring, holding, voting or disposing of the Company’s securities (for the benefit of clarification and the avoidance of doubt, this provision shall not prohibit changes in the membership of the group involving the PL Capital Parties as long as any additional member(s) acknowledges and agrees to be bound by the terms of this Agreement);

 
4

 

(c)           act, alone or in concert with others, to seek to control the management, Board or policies of the Company or seek to offer to the Company or any of its shareholders any business combination resulting in control or a change in management of the Company;
 
(d)           seek to call, or to request the call of, or call a special meeting of the shareholders of the Company;
 
(e)           agree or offer to take, or encourage or propose (publicly or otherwise) the taking of, assist, induce or encourage any other Person to take, or enter into discussions with any third party with respect to the taking of, any action referred to in clauses “(a)”, “(b)”, “(c)” or “(d)” of this Section 5.2;
 
(f)           initiate or propose any shareholder proposal or induce or attempt to induce any other individual, firm, corporation, partnership, or other entity to initiate any shareholder proposal; and
 
(g)           other than in connection with enforcement of the PL Capital Parties’ rights under this Agreement, otherwise act, alone or in concert with others, to encourage, facilitate, incite, or seek to cause others to instigate legal proceedings against the Company, or any of its subsidiaries or their respective officers, directors, or employees.
 
Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the foregoing limitations shall not be deemed to limit actions that may be taken by Mr. Palmer in the good faith discharge of his fiduciary duties as a member of the Company’s Board or the Bank’s Board of Directors.
 
5.3           Transferees to be Bound.  Any transferee of any of the PL Capital Shares beneficially owned by any of the PL Capital Parties that is an affiliate of the PL Capital Parties shall acknowledge and agree to be bound by the terms of this Agreement.

5.5           Right of First Refusal.  The PL Capital Parties, and each of them, hereby grant an irrevocable Right of First Refusal to the Company to purchase the PL Capital Shares beneficially owned by any of the PL Capital Parties, that the PL Capital Parties intend to sell.  A “sale” shall not include any transfer from the PL Capital Parties to an Affiliate, and any such transfer shall not be subject to this Section 5.5; provided, however, such Affiliate shall be subject to the provisions of Section 5.3. Such Right of First Refusal shall be exercised in the following manner:  the PL Capital Party intending to sell any such shares shall provide notice to the Company of intent to sell together with the quantity of shares to be sold.  The Company shall have three (3) business days to give Notice (as defined herein) to such PL Capital Party of its intent to exercise its Right of First Refusal to acquire such shares.  If the Company gives timely Notice of its intent to exercise such Right of First Refusal with respect to such shares, then it shall have five (5) business days to tender the Exercise Price (as defined herein) for such shares to the selling PL Capital Party, and that PL Capital Party shall then convey title to such shares to the Company or its designee.  The Exercise Price shall be the higher of (i) the offer price provided in writing in a bona fide offer; or (ii) the volume-weighted average price as derived from Bloomberg for the five (5) trading days prior to the date such PL Capital Party gave notice of its intent to sell.  Failure of the Company to give timely Notice to such selling PL Capital Party will excuse the PL Capital Parties from any obligation with respect to those shares, but will not affect the Company’s Right of First Refusal with respect to any other shares beneficially owned by that or any other PL Capital Party, which were not the subject of the PL Capital Party's notice of its intent to sell shares.  If the Company decides to exercise its Right of First Refusal, it must buy 100% of the shares offered for sale by the PL Capital Party.
