FOX CHASE BANCORP, INC. TO COMPLETE BALANCE SHEET RESTRUCTURING

HATBORO, PA, June 6, 2012 — Fox Chase Bancorp, Inc. (the “Company”) (NASDAQ GM: FXCB), the holding company for Fox Chase Bank (the “Bank”), today announced its intention to complete a balance sheet restructuring during the second quarter of 2012, which is expected to  result in a pre-tax cost of approximately $1.2 million.

To better position its balance sheet for potential changes in interest rates and improve net interest income and margin going forward, the Company anticipates it will terminate approximately $55 million in long-term borrowings, with an effective rate of 3.50%, at a pre-tax cost estimated at $3.1 million.  The Company plans to fund the pre-payments with shorter-term funding sources. Offsetting this cost would be an approximate pre-tax gain of $1.9 million associated with the sale of approximately $75 million in investment securities with a book yield of 2.15%.

The Company anticipates that the transactions will improve annual net interest income by approximately $1.2 million. Since these transactions have not been completed, the impact on net interest income and earnings for the second quarter of 2012 and future periods cannot yet be determined and will depend on market conditions in effect at the time the transactions are consummated. The Bank will remain well-capitalized after these transactions are completed.
