Mewhinney, the principal of Clover (collectively, the “MHC Mutual Conversion Fund Group”), relating to common stock ($0.01 par value) (the “Common Stock”) of Hampden Bancorp, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Issuer”).

Consistent with its investment purpose, the MHC Mutual Conversion Fund Group has engaged and will continue to engage in communications with one or more officers of the Issuer and/or one or more members of the board of directors of the Issuer (the “Board”), and/or one or more representatives of the Issuer regarding the Issuer, including, but not limited to its business, management, operations, assets, capitalization, financial condition, governance, strategy and future plans.  The MHC Mutual Conversion Fund Group has discussed and will continue to discuss ideas that, if effectuated, may result in any of the following: a sale or transfer of a material amount of assets of the Issuer and/or changes in the Board or management of the Issuer.
 
The Reporting Persons may purchase, sell or transfer Common Stock beneficially owned by them from time to time in public transactions depending on economic considerations and, subject to the below, the results of such communications.  Any such transactions may be effected at any time or from time to time subject to any applicable limitations imposed on the sale of the Common Stock by applicable law.

Item 5.
Interest in Securities of the Issuer

(a) - (b) The MHC Mutual Conversion Fund Group beneficially owns 513,183 shares of Common Stock, which represents 9.1% of the Issuer’s outstanding shares of Common Stock.  The percentage of beneficial ownership of the Reporting Persons, as reported in this Schedule 13D/A, was calculated by dividing (i) the total number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the MHC Mutual Conversion Fund Group as of August 1, 2014, as set forth in this Schedule 13D/A, by (ii) the 5,654,136, shares of Common Stock outstanding as of May 6, 2014, according to the Issuer’s Form 10-Q filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on May 14, 2014.

Mr. Base beneficially owns 2,652 shares of the Common Stock, less than 1% of the Issuer’s outstanding shares of Common Stock.
 
(c)           None of the Reporting Persons has effected any transactions in the Common Stock within the past sixty days.  
 
The filing of this Schedule 13D/A shall not be construed as admission that the GP, Clover, or Mr. Mewhinney is for the purposes of Section 13(d) or 13(g) of the Exchange Act the beneficial owner of any of the 513,183 shares of Common Stock owned by the Fund.  Pursuant to Rule 13d-4, the GP, Clover, and Mr. Mewhinney disclaim all such beneficial ownership.
