Thomas F. Prisby, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of CFS Bancorp, Inc. (the “Company”), first mailed a letter, in the form below, to certain shareholders of the Company on April 15, 2010.

[CFS Bancorp, Inc. letterhead omitted]

April 15, 2010

[Name]
[Street Address]
[City, State, Zip Code]

Dear [Shareholder Name]:

I hope this letter finds you well.

We understand that all of the mailings that you’ve been inundated with may be annoying, however, the integrity, quality, and accuracy of information is critical in the contested directorship election that CFS Bancorp is facing today.

The upcoming annual meeting of CFS is extremely important to our Board of Directors, and to me personally. I’m asking for your support and your vote for both myself and Frank Lester, on the Blue Proxy. Since only one proxy can be counted, one color (BLUE) should be voted, the other color (white) can be discarded.

You only need to vote one time, but if you happen to send in more than one card, the last “dated proxy” of either color is the one that will be counted. If you need voting assistance you may call 888-742-1305 to talk to a live person.

You are most welcome to attend the meeting on April 27th. As always, feel free to call me at (219) 836-2960 or send an email to tfprisby@citz.com if you have comments, questions, or concerns.

Time is of the essence, so please vote today. Again, thank you for your continued support.

Best regards,

/s/ Thomas F. Prisby
Thomas F. Prisby
