Written notice of the place, date, and time of all meetings of the stockholders shall be given, not less than ten (10) nor more than sixty (60) days before the date on which the meeting is to be held, to each stockholder entitled to vote at such meeting, except as otherwise provided herein or required by law (meaning, here and hereinafter, as required from time to time by the Delaware General Corporation Law or the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation of the Corporation).

When a meeting is adjourned to another place, date or time, written notice need not be given of the adjourned meeting if the place, date and time thereof are announced at the meeting at which the adjournment is taken; provided, however, that if the date of any adjourned meeting is more than thirty (30) days after the date for which the meeting was originally noticed, or if a new record date is fixed for the adjourned meeting, written notice of the place, date, and time of the adjourned meeting shall be given in conformity herewith. At any adjourned meeting, any business may be transacted which might have been transacted at the original meeting.

Section 4.Quorum.

At any meeting of the stockholders, the holders of a majority of all of the shares of the stock entitled to vote at the meeting, present in person or by proxy (after giving effect to the provisions of Article FOURTH of the Corporation’s Amended and Restated Certificate of

Incorporation), shall constitute a quorum for all purposes, unless or except to the extent that the presence of a larger number may be required by law. Where a separate vote by a class or classes is required, a majority of the shares of such class or classes present in person or represented by proxy (after giving effect to the provisions of Article FOURTH of the Corporation’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation) shall constitute a quorum entitled to take action with respect to that vote on that matter.

If a quorum shall fail to attend any meeting, the chairman of the meeting or the holders of a majority of the shares of stock entitled to vote who are present, in person or by proxy, may adjourn the meeting to another place, date or time.

If a notice of any adjourned special meeting of stockholders is sent to all stockholders entitled to vote thereat, stating that it will be held with those present in person or by proxy constituting a quorum, then except as otherwise required by law, those present in person or by proxy at such adjourned meeting shall constitute a quorum, and all matters shall be determined by a majority of the votes cast at such meeting.

For business to be properly brought before an annual meeting by a stockholder, the business must relate to a proper subject matter for stockholder action and the stockholder must have given timely notice thereof in writing to the Secretary of the Corporation. To be timely, a stockholder’s notice must be delivered or mailed to and received at the principal executive offices of the Corporation not less than ninety (90) days prior to the date of the annual meeting; provided, however, that in the event that less than one hundred (100) days’ notice or prior public disclosure of the date of the meeting is given or made to stockholders, notice by the stockholder to be timely must be received not later than the close of business on the 10th day following the day on which such notice of the date of the annual meeting was mailed or such public disclosure was made.

Such nominations, other than those made by or at the direction of the Board of Directors, shall be made by timely notice in writing to the Secretary of the Corporation. To be timely, a stockholder’s notice shall be delivered or mailed to and received at the principal executive offices of the Corporation not less than ninety (90) days prior to the date of the meeting; provided, however, that in the event that less than one hundred (100) days’ notice or prior disclosure of the date of the meeting is given or made to stockholders, notice by the stockholder to be timely must be so received not later than the close of business on the 10th day following the day on which such notice of the date of the meeting was mailed or such public disclosure was made.

At the request of the Board of Directors, any person nominated by the Board of Directors for election as a Director shall furnish to the Secretary of the Corporation that information required to be set forth in a stockholders notice of nomination which pertains to the nominee. No person shall be eligible for election as a Director of the Corporation unless nominated in accordance with the provisions of this Section 6(c).

For Immediate Release

HAMPDEN BANCORP, INC. REPORTS YEAR END RESULTS, ANNOUNCES DATE OF ANNUAL MEETING OF SHAREHOLDERS, DECLARES CASH DIVIDEND AND ELECTS RICHARD SUSKI TO BOARD OF DIRECTORS

SPRINGFIELD, Mass. July 31, 2007. Hampden Bancorp, Inc. (the “Company”) (NASDAQ - HBNK), which is the holding company for Hampden Bank (the “Bank”), announced the results of operations for the three and twelve months ended June 30, 2007.

Net income increased by $680,000, to $658,000 for the three month period ended June 30, 2007 from a net loss of $22,000 for the three month period ended June 30, 2006. This increase was mainly due to an increase in net interest income for the three months ended June 30, 2007 of $732,000, or 28.0%, to $3.4 million over the same period in 2006.

As a result of the planned contribution Hampden Bancorp, Inc. made to the Hampden Bank Charitable Foundation of $3.8 million, net income decreased by $2.5 million from $1.0 million for the year ended June 30, 2006, to a net loss of $1.5 million for the year ended June 30, 2007. Income from operations, excluding the charitable foundation contribution, increased by 47.5% for the year ended June 30, 2007 compared to the year ended June 30, 2006. Income from operations, excluding the charitable foundation contribution, was $1.5 million for the year ended June 30, 2007, which was an increase of $484,000 compared to $1.0 million for the year ended June 30, 2006. The impact on net income, including a tax benefit of $827,000, of the charitable foundation contribution was a decrease of $3.0 million. An offset to the charitable foundation contribution was an increase in net interest income for the year ended June 30, 2007 of $1.0 million, or 9.1%, to $11.9 million over the same period in 2006.

The Company’s total assets increased by $55.1 million, or 11.8%, from $468.8 million at June 30, 2006 to $523.9 million at June 30, 2007, primarily attributable to the receipt of the net proceeds in the stock offering. Securities available for sale increased by $38.4 million, or 34.7%, to $149.1 million at June 30, 2007. Net loans, excluding loans held for sale, increased by $10.5 million, or 3.3%, to $328.4 million at June 30, 2007. There was also an increase in cash and cash equivalents of $5.7 million, or 38.1%, to $20.5 million at June 30, 2007.

Deposits increased $4.6 million, or 1.4%, to $327.3 million at June 30, 2007 from $322.7 million at June 30, 2006. Core deposits increased by $14.8 million, or 11.3%, to $145.6 million at June 30, 2007. A partial offset to this increase was a decrease in certificates of deposit of $10.2 million, or (5.3%), to $181.7 million for the year ended June 30, 2007. Approximately $14.9 million of deposits were withdrawn from deposit accounts by shareholders in order to purchase shares in the stock offering.

Short-term borrowings, including repurchase agreements, decreased $16.3 million, or (53.9%), to $13.9 million at June 30, 2007 from $30.2 million at June 30, 2006. Long-term borrowings decreased $5.5 million, or (6.8%), to $75.3 million at June 30, 2007 from $80.8 million at June 30, 2006.

Total capital increased by $70.7 million, to $102.0 million at June 30, 2007, compared to $31.3 million at June 30, 2006, which is due to the completion of the stock offering. Our ratio of capital to total assets increased to 19.5% as of June 30, 2007, from 6.7% as of June 30, 2006, which is due to the increase in capital attributable to the stock proceeds.

According to Thomas R. Burton, President and CEO, “Fiscal ‘07 has been a remarkable year for Hampden Bank and Hampden Bancorp as we completed the conversion from a mutual to stockholder owned organization and continued to grow the bank at an aggressive pace while improving financial performance. The flat yield curve, with its pressure on interest margins, continues to present considerable challenges to us and the industry as a whole.”

Burton also announced that Richard Suski, CPA, has joined the Board of Directors. Mr. Suski, of Glastonbury, Connecticut, was Audit Partner-in-Charge of Financial Institutions of the Hartford office of KPMG LLP. In addition, after leaving KPMG LLP he served on the boards of First Federal Savings-East Hartford and the Savings Bank of Manchester. To allow for the election of Mr. Suski, the Company’s Board of Directors has adopted a resolution to increase the authorized number of directors from 13 to 14.

The Company announced that its 2007 annual meeting of shareholders will be held on Thursday, November 1, 2007 at 10:00 a.m. (Eastern Time) at the Sheraton Springfield Monarch Place Hotel, One Monarch Place, Springfield, MA. The record date for shareholders entitled to vote at the meeting will be September 17, 2007.

The Company also announced today that the Board of Directors of the Company declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.03 per common share, payable on August 28, 2007, to stockholders of record at the close of business on August 13, 2007.
