THE OFFERING

 

Securities Offered

 

New Georgetown is offering participants of the SBERA 401(k) Plan as adopted by Georgetown Savings Bank (the “Plan”) the opportunity to purchase common stock of New Georgetown through the purchase of stock units. The stock units represent indirect ownership of New Georgetown’s common stock. At the stock offering purchase price of $10.00 per share, the Plan may acquire up to 261,632 shares of New Georgetown common stock (including shares in the existing Employer Stock Fund exchanged pursuant to the exchange ratio) in the stock offering, based on the fair market value of the Plan’s assets as of February 29, 2012.

 

Only employees of Georgetown Savings Bank may become participants in the Plan and only participants may purchase stock units through the Plan. Your investment in stock units in connection with the stock offering is subject to the purchase priorities listed below.

 

Information with regard to the Plan is contained in this prospectus supplement and information with regard to the financial condition, results of operations and business of New Georgetown is contained in the accompanying prospectus. The address of the principal executive office of New Georgetown and Georgetown Savings Bank is 2 East Main Street, Georgetown, Massachusetts 01833.

 

All questions about this prospectus supplement should be addressed to Joseph W. Kennedy, Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, Georgetown Savings Bank, 2 East Main Street, Georgetown, Massachusetts 01833; telephone number (978) 352-8600, ext. 1203; or e-mail at joe.kennedy@georgetownsb.com.

 

Questions about the stock offering, the prospectus, or obtaining a stock order form to purchase stock in the offering outside the Plan may be directed to the Stock Information Center at (877 ) 860-2086.

 

 

 

New Georgetown Stock Fund

 

In connection with the stock offering, you may elect to transfer all or part of your account balances in the Plan (other than directly from the current employer stock fund) to the New Georgetown Stock Fund, to be used to purchase stock units representing an ownership interest in the common stock of New Georgetown issued in the stock offering. The New Georgetown Stock Fund is a new fund in the Plan established to hold shares of common stock of New Georgetown. It is different from the existing Employer Stock Fund, which presently holds shares of Georgetown Bancorp, Inc. (“Georgetown-Federal”), the federal

 



 

 

 

mid-tier holding company of Georgetown Savings Bank that will be eliminated in the conversion of Georgetown Bancorp, MHC into New Georgetown, the newly formed corporation that will serve as the stock holding company of Georgetown Savings Bank. For purposes of this prospectus supplement, we will refer to the existing Employer Stock Fund as the Georgetown-Federal Stock Fund, to more clearly distinguish it from the New Georgetown Stock Fund that is being established in connection with the stock offering of New Georgetown. At the close of the conversion and offering, shares of Georgetown-Federal held in the Georgetown-Federal Stock Fund will be exchanged for shares of New Georgetown pursuant to the exchange ratio (discussed in greater detail in the accompanying prospectus) and the Georgetown-Federal Stock Fund will be merged into and become part of the New Georgetown Stock Fund. (Once this is completed, we will again refer to the fund as the “Employer Stock Fund.”)

 

 

 

 

 

 

Purchase Priorities

 

All Plan participants are eligible to transfer funds to the New Georgetown Stock Fund pursuant to the offering. However, such directions are subject to the purchase priorities in the Plan of Conversion and Reorganization of Georgetown Bancorp, MHC, which provides for a subscription offering and a community offering. In the offering, the purchase priorities are as follows and apply in case more shares are ordered than are available for sale (an “oversubscription”):

 

Subscription Offering:

 

(1)  Depositors of Georgetown Savings Bank with $50 or more on deposit at the close of business on September 30, 2010, get first priority.

 

(2)  Georgetown Savings Bank’s tax-qualified plans, including the employee stock ownership plan and the 401(k) plan, get second priority to purchase in the aggregate up to 10% of the common stock sold in the stock offering.

 

(3)  Depositors of Georgetown Savings Bank with $50 or more on deposit at the close of business on March 31, 2012, get third priority.

 

(4)  Depositors of Georgetown Savings Bank at the close of business on April 30, 2012, get fourth priority.

 

2



 

 

 

Community Offering:

 

(5)  Natural persons residing in the Massachusetts counties of Suffolk, Middlesex and Essex and the New Hampshire county of Rockingham get fifth priority.

 

(6)  Public shareholders of Georgetown-Federal as of April 30, 2012 get sixth priority.

 

If you fall into subscription offering categories (1), (3) or (4), you have subscription rights to purchase stock units representing an ownership interest in shares of New Georgetown common stock in the subscription offering and you may use funds in the Plan to pay for the stock units. You may also be able to purchase stock units representing an ownership interest in shares of New Georgetown common stock in the subscription offering even though you are ineligible to purchase through subscription offering categories (1), (3) or (4) through subscription offering category (2), reserved for our tax-qualified employee plans. If your stock order cannot be filled through subscription offering category (2), your order will be treated as a Community Offering order.

 

 

 

Purchases in the Offering and Oversubscriptions

 

The trustee of the Plan will purchase common stock of New Georgetown common stock in the stock offering in accordance with your directions. Once you make your election, the amount that you elect to transfer from your existing investment options for the purchase of stock units in connection with the stock offering will be sold from your existing investment options and proceeds transferred to the New Georgetown Stock Fund (which will be an interest bearing account during the offering period) and held by the fund pending the formal completion of the stock offering several weeks later. After the end of the stock offering period, we will determine whether all or any portion of your order will be filled (if the offering is oversubscribed you may not receive any or all of your order, depending on your purchase priority, as described above). The amount that can be used toward your order will be applied to the purchase of common stock of New Georgetown. Following the completion of the offering, the purchased common stock will be transferred to the New Georgetown Stock Fund and will be denominated in stock units in the New Georgetown Stock Fund.

 

In the event the offering is oversubscribed, i.e., there are more orders for common stock of New Georgetown than shares available for sale in the offering, and the trustee is unable to use the full amount allocated by you to purchase ownership interests in common stock of New Georgetown sold in the offering, the amount that cannot be invested in common stock of New Georgetown, and any interest earned on such amount, will be

 

3



 

 

 

reinvested in the existing funds of the Plan, in accordance with your then existing investment election (in proportion to your investment direction for future contributions). The prospectus describes the allocation procedures in the event of an oversubscription. If you choose not to direct the investment of your account balances towards the purchase of any stock units in connection with the offering, your account balances will remain in the investment funds of the Plan as previously directed by you.

 

 

 

Composition of and Purpose of Stock Units

 

The New Georgetown Stock Fund will invest in the common stock of New Georgetown. In addition, the New Georgetown Stock Fund will maintain a cash component for liquidity purposes. Liquidity is required in order to facilitate daily transactions such as investment transfers or distributions from the New Georgetown Stock Fund. For purchases in the offering, there will be no cash component. A stock unit will be valued at $10.00. After the offering, stock units will consist of a percentage interest in both the common stock of New Georgetown and cash held in the New Georgetown Stock Fund. Unit values (similar to the stock’s share price) and the number of units (similar to number of shares) are used to communicate the dollar value of a participant’s account. Following the stock offering, each day the stock unit value of the New Georgetown Stock Fund will be determined by dividing the total market value of the fund at the end of the day by the total number of units held in the fund by all participants as of the previous day’s end. The change in stock unit value reflects the day’s change in stock price, any cash dividends accrued and the interest earned on the cash component of the fund, less any investment management fees. The market value and stock unit holdings of your account in the New Georgetown Stock Fund is reported to you on your quarterly statements.

 

 

 

Value of Plan Assets

 

As of December 31, 2011, the market value of the assets of the Plan (except for assets held by the Georgetown-Federal Stock Fund) was approximately $2,345,209, all of which is eligible to purchase or acquire common stock of New Georgetown in the offering. The Plan administrator informed each participant of the value of his or her account balance under the Plan as of December 31, 2011.

 

 

 

Election to Purchase Stock Units in the Stock Offering

 

In connection with the stock offering, the Plan will permit you to direct the trustee to transfer all or part of the funds which represent your current beneficial interest in the assets of the Plan (other than amounts invested in the Georgetown-Federal Stock Fund) to the New Georgetown Stock Fund. You may not transfer amounts that you have invested in the Georgetown-Federal Stock Fund into the New Georgetown Stock Fund. This exchange will take place automatically. The shares of common

stock of Georgetown-Federal currently held by the Plan will be exchanged for New Georgetown common stock pursuant to the exchange ratio. The trustee of the Plan will subscribe for New Georgetown common stock offered for sale in connection with the stock offering, in accordance with each participant’s direction.

 

In order to purchase stock units through the Plan, you must purchase at least 25 shares in the offering through the Plan at the $10.00 purchase price (e.g., a $250 initial investment). The prospectus also describes maximum purchase limits for investors in the stock offering.

The Plan Administrator is Thomas Forese, Jr., President of SBERA.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PLAN

 

Introduction

 

Georgetown Savings Bank originally adopted the SBERA 401(k) Plan (the “Plan”) effective as of April 1, 1995, and subsequently amended and restated it, effective January 1, 2002, and November 29, 2010 (as amended and restated, the “Plan”).  The Plan is a tax-qualified plan with a cash or deferred compensation feature established in accordance with the

 

7



 

requirements under Section 401(a) and Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”).

 

Georgetown Savings Bank intends that the Plan, in operation, will comply with the requirements under Section 401(a) and Section 401(k) of the Code.  Georgetown Savings Bank will adopt any amendments to the Plan that may be necessary to ensure the continuing qualified status of the Plan under the Code and applicable Treasury Regulations.

 

Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (“ERISA”).  The Plan is an “individual account plan” other than a “money purchase pension plan” within the meaning of ERISA.  As such, the Plan is subject to all of the provisions of Title I (Protection of Employee Benefit Rights) and Title II (Amendments to the Code Relating to Retirement Plans) of ERISA, except to the funding requirements contained in Part 3 of Title I of ERISA which by their terms do not apply to an individual account plan (other than a money purchase plan).  The Plan is not subject to Title IV (Plan Termination Insurance) of ERISA.  The funding requirements contained in Title IV of ERISA are not applicable to participants or beneficiaries under the Plan.

 

Reference to Full Text of Plan. The following portions of this prospectus supplement summarize certain provisions of the Plan. They are not complete and are qualified in their entirety by the full text of the Plan.  Copies of the Plan are available to all employees by filing a request with the Plan administrator c/o Georgetown Savings Bank, Attn: Joseph W. Kennedy, Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, 2 East Main Street, Georgetown, Massachusetts 01833; telephone number: (978) 356-8600, ext. 1203, email at: joe.kennedy@georgetownsb.com. You are urged to read carefully the full text of the Plan.

 

Eligibility and Participation

 

Employees who are at least 21 years old are eligible to enter the Plan on the first day of the month coinciding with or next following date on which the employee attains age 21 for purposes of making salary deferrals to the Plan (as described in more detail below).  Employees who are at least 21 years old and have one year of service with Georgetown Savings Bank are eligible to receive employer contributions (as described in more detail below) as of the first day of the month coinciding with or next following the date on which the employee meets the age and year of service requirements (a year of service includes the performance of at least 1,000 hours of service).  Leased employees are not eligible to participate in the Plan.  The Plan year is January 1 to December 31 (the “Plan Year”).

 

As of December 31, 2011, there were approximately 61 employees, former employees and beneficiaries participating in the Plan.

 

Contributions Under the Plan

 

Salary Deferrals.  You are permitted to defer on a pre-tax basis up to 75% of your compensation (expressed in terms of whole percentages), subject to certain restrictions imposed by the Code, and to have that amount contributed to the Plan on your behalf.  For purposes of the Plan, “compensation” means your compensation subject to income tax withholding at the source, as reported on your Form W-2, with all pre-tax contributions added.  In 2012, the annual compensation of each participant taken into account under the Plan is limited to $250,000.  (Limits established by the Internal Revenue Service are subject to

 

8



 

increase pursuant to an annual cost-of-living adjustment, as permitted by the Code).  You may elect to modify the amount contributed to the Plan by filing a new elective deferral agreement with the Plan administrator at the beginning of the next payroll period.

 

Guaranteed Non-Elective Contribution.  Georgetown Savings Bank will make a non-elective contribution equal to 3% (not less than 3%) of the compensation of each eligible employee.

 

Employer Matching Contributions. Georgetown Savings Bank will make matching contributions to the Plan in an amount equal to 50% of the participant’s elective deferrals up to a maximum of 6% of compensation.  Matching contributions will be based on a bi-weekly computation period.  Matching contributions will not be made on deferrals withdrawn prior to the end of the matching computation period.

 

Rollover Contributions.  You are permitted to make rollover contributions to the Plan.

 

Limitations on Contributions

 

Limitations on Employee Salary Deferrals. For the Plan Year beginning January 1, 2012, the amount of your before-tax contributions may not exceed $17,000 per calendar year.  Salary deferrals in excess of this limit are known as excess deferrals.  If you defer amounts in excess of this limitation, your gross income for federal income tax purposes will include the excess in the year of the deferral.  In addition, unless the excess deferral is distributed before April 15 of the following year, it will be taxed again in the year distributed.  Income on the excess deferral distributed by April 15 of the immediately succeeding year will be treated, for federal income tax purposes, as earned and received by you in the tax year in which the contribution is made.

 

Catch-up Contributions. If you have made the maximum amount of regular before-tax contributions allowed by the Plan or other legal limits and you have attained at least age 50 (or will reach age 50 prior to the end of the Plan Year), you are also eligible to make an additional catch-up contribution.  You may authorize your employer to withhold a specified dollar amount of your compensation for this purpose.  For 2012, the maximum catch-up contribution is $5,500.

 

Benefits Under the Plan

 

Vesting.  At all times, you have a fully vested, non-forfeitable interest in the salary deferrals you have made, the qualified matching contributions and qualified non-elective contributions and their investment earnings.

 

Withdrawals and Distributions from the Plan

 

Applicable federal law requires the Plan to impose substantial restrictions on the right of a Plan participant to withdraw amounts held for his or her benefit under the Plan prior to the participant’s termination of employment with the employer.

 

Withdrawals upon Termination.  You may request a distribution from your account following your termination of employment.  Following your termination, you may elect to leave your account balance in the Plan and defer commencement of receipt of your vested balance until no later than April 1 of the calendar year following the calendar year in which you attain age 70½.

 

9



 

Withdrawal upon Disability.  If you are disabled in accordance with the definition of disability under the Plan, you will be entitled to the same withdrawal rights as if you had terminated employment.

 

Withdrawal upon Death.  If you die while you are a participant in the Plan, the value of your entire account will be payable to your beneficiary in accordance with the Plan.

 

In-Service Distribution.  In-service withdrawals of employee pre-tax elective deferrals, employer matching contributions, and qualified non-elective contributions are permitted in the event of financial hardship or your attainment of age 59 ½.  Rollover contributions are available for in-service withdrawals without any restrictions.

 

Loans.  The employer may, in its discretion, make loans available to Plan participants.

 

Form of Distribution.  You will have the right to elect to be paid your benefit under the Plan in either a lump sum or various forms of installments offered under the Plan.

The following is a description of each of the Plan’s investment funds:

 

Money Market Account.   This account seeks the maximum current income that is consistent with preservation of capital and liquidity.  The account intends to maintain a consistent net cash value of $1.00 per share.  The objective of the account is to consistently outperform the Lipper Average Money Market Fund Index.  All Money Market Account assets are invested in short-term securities issued by the U.S. Government and agencies of the U.S. Government, with maturities of six months or less. Interest is calculated at the end of the month.  Interest on withdrawals is calculated to the date of withdrawal.  This account offers the lowest risk of all the SBERA investment options.

 

Equity Account.  This account seeks long-term growth of capital and income by investing in common stock of domestic and foreign companies.  The account is managed by nine investment advisors, each with a different investment mandate.  The Equity Account offers the

 

11



 

risk and return characteristics of domestic and international equities and predominately active portfolio management.

 

Bond Account.  This account seeks to keep pace with U.S. Investment grade bond market returns.  The fund will be invested in U.S. Government securities and agencies, mortgage pass-through securities, high quality corporate securities, debt and money market instruments.  A prudent amount may be invested in below investment grade corporate bonds, foreign debt instruments and long-dated maturities.

 

Index 500 Account.  This account attempts to provide investment results that parallel the performance of the Standard & Poor’s (“S&P”) 500 Composite Stock Price Index.  Given the objective, the account is expected to provide investors with long-term growth of capital and income.  The Index 500 Account is designed for investors who want a low-cost method of consistently parallelin g the return of the S&P 500 Index.  The account provides investors with broad diversification and significantly less specific risk than a more concentrated portfolio.

 

Large Cap Growth Account.  This account uses a highly disciplined, mathematical investment strategy designed to seek long-term returns in excess of the target benchmark, while reducing the risk of significant underperformance.  The Large Cap Growth Account uses the S&P BARRA Growth Index as a benchmark.

 

Small Cap Growth Account.  This account is grounded in the philosophy that superior investment returns are generated over the long term by investing in under-followed companies experiencing a dramatic acceleration in earnings and revenue growth.  Dedicated to its investment style, the small cap growth’s objective is to create a portfolio of aggressive small cap growth companies that can generate superior risk-adjusted rates of return over a full market cycle.

 

International Equity Account.  This account seeks to provide long-term capital appreciation by investing in foreign equity securities.  The fund invests in securities of foreign corporations that are traded on foreign exchanges or over-the-counter.  The fund’s basic approach to portfolio management is one of individual equity selection that seeks to identify undervalued stocks.  The fund does not initially make industry or county allocations.  As a result, country exposure may be concentrated at times, although prudent portfolio diversification practices are followed, designed to ensure that no sector becomes unduly overweighted.

 

Large Cap Value Account.  This account’s investment philosophy combines detailed fundamental research, bottom-up stock selection and portfolio construction, and disciplined management of portfolio volatility to achieve strong risk-adjusted returns over full market cycles.  The account normally invests 90 to 100% of assets in highly liquid equity securities and up to 10% of assets in cash and cash equivalents.  The account will normally hold between 40 and 45 securities and offers risk and return characteristics of domestic equities and active portfolio management.

 

Small Cap Value Account.  This account utilizes a highly disciplined, bottom-up value approach to investing.  The process is intended to generate excess returns primarily through stock selection focusing on securities with attractive valuations within the Russell 2000 sectors that exhibit earnings growth.  The strategy’s goal is to outperform the Russell 2000 Value Index over a full market cycle.  This account’s investment process and valuation discipline is designed to be conservative and less volatile than the market.

 

12



 

LifePath Accounts.  SBERA offers a series of LifePath accounts that are intended for participants who would rather leave their 401(k) account asset allocation decisions to a professional investment manager.  Each fund utilizes a predetermined mix of specific asset classes with frequent re-balancing back to the fund’s target allocation.  The LifePath series includes five separate funds:

 

LifePath Retirement Account

LifePath 2020 Account

LifePath 2030 Account

LifePath 2040 Account

LifePath 2050 Account

 

The LifePath accounts are named for the approximate year in which the participants investing in the account are likely to begin withdrawing their money, i.e., the LifePath Retirement Account is designed for retirees already withdrawing their money, the LifePath 2050 Account is designed for participants planning to begin withdrawals around 2050.  Each account has different asset allocations resulting from the different estimated investment horizons for each account.  Each account is broadly diversified and monitored daily to ensure that each portfolio at all times will have the characteristics and asset allocation determined by the LifePath model.  The portfolios are typically re-balanced 15 to 25 times a year. The typical re-balance is 2% of total assets, with an annual turnover of approximately 40% to 45%.  The risk and return characteristics of each account also depend on the expected investment horizon of the participants invested in each account.  For instance, the LifePath Retirement Account, designed for individuals with a short investment horizon (participants already withdrawing their money) has the lowest risk factor and lowest expected return of the LifePath series.  Conversely, the LifePath 2050 Account had the longest investment horizon resulting in the highest risk factor (invested primarily in equities) and the highest expected return of the LifePath series.  As the investment horizon approaches for each LifePath Account, the asset allocation for such account is re-balanced to lower investment risk, with a corresponding reduction in expected return.

 

All Asset Account.  The objective of this fund is to produce returns which are 5% above the Consumer Price Index. The strategy is designed as a “fund of funds” that allocates its assets among a group of PIMCO mutual funds. The account rebalances among the PIMCO funds as real return values shift in the market.

 

SBERA Account.  This account is designed to provide results that essentially parallel the performance of the SBERA Defined Benefit Plan asset allocation. The account is expected to provide investors with long-term growth of capital and income, offering more diversification and less risk than a more concentrated portfolio.

 

Georgetown-Federal Stock Fund (Current Employer Stock Fund).  The Georgetown-Federal Stock Fund consists primarily of common stock of Georgetown-Federal, a federally chartered majority-owned subsidiary of Georgetown Bancorp, MHC, a mutual holding company.  Investments in the Georgetown-Federal Stock Fund involves special risks common to investments in the shares of common stock of Georgetown-Federal.  Following the offering, Georgetown-Federal will cease to exist, but will be succeeded by a new Maryland corporation, New Georgetown, which will be 100% owned by its public shareholders.  Shares of Georgetown-Federal which were held in the Georgetown-Federal Stock Fund prior to the conversion and offering will be converted into new shares of common stock of New Georgetown, in accordance with the exchange ratio.  As soon as practicable after the closing of

 

13



 

the stock offering, the Georgetown-Federal Stock Fund will be merged into the New Georgetown Stock Fund.

 

New Georgetown Stock Fund (New Employer Stock Fund).  In connection with the stock offering, you may, in the manner described earlier, direct the trustee to invest all or a portion of your Plan account in the New Georgetown Stock Fund, which consists primarily of common stock of New Georgetown.  Subsequent to the stock offering, you may elect to invest all or a portion of your contributions in the New Georgetown Stock Fund; you may also elect to transfer into the New Georgetown Stock Fund all or a portion of your accounts currently invested in other funds under the Plan.  After the offering, the trustee will, to the extent practicable, use all amounts held by it in the New Georgetown Stock Fund to purchase shares of common stock of New Georgetown, taking into consideration cash amounts needed to maintain liquidity in the account.  It is expected that all purchases will be made at prevailing market prices, which may be more or less than $10.00 per share.  Performance of the New Georgetown Stock Fund depends on a number of factors, including the financial condition and profitability of New Georgetown and Georgetown Savings Bank and the market conditions for shares of New Georgetown common stock generally.  Investments in the New Georgetown Stock Fund involves special risks common to investments in the shares of common stock of New Georgetown.

 

For a discussion of material risks you should consider, see the “Risk Factors” section of the accompanying prospectus and the section of the prospectus supplement called “Notice of Your Rights Concerning Employer Securities” (see below).

 

An investment in any of the investment options listed above is not a deposit of a bank and is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency.  As with any mutual fund or stock investment, there is always a risk that you may lose money on your investment in any of the investment options listed above.

 

Administration of the Plan

 

The Trustee and Custodian.  The trustee of the Plan is the Savings Bank Employee Retirement Association (“SBERA”).  SBERA serves as trustee for all the investments funds under the Plan, including during the offering period for New Georgetown common stock.  Following the offering period, SBERA will also serve as the trustee of the New Georgetown Stock Fund.

 

Plan AdministratorPursuant to the terms of the Plan, the Plan is administered by the Plan administrator, SBERA. The address of the Plan Administrator is 4A Gill Street, Woburn, Massachusetts 01801-1721, telephone number (781) 938-6559.  The Plan Administrator is responsible for the administration of the Plan, interpretation of the provisions of the Plan, prescribing procedures for filing applications for benefits, preparation and distribution of information explaining the Plan, maintenance of Plan records, books of account and all other data necessary for the proper administration of the Plan, preparation and filing of all returns and reports relating to the Plan which are required to be filed with the U.S. Department of Labor and the Internal Revenue Service, and for all disclosures required to be made to participants, beneficiaries and others under Sections 104 and 105 of ERISA.

 

Reports to Plan Participants.  The Plan administrator will furnish you a statement at least quarterly showing the balance in your account as of the end of that period, the amount of

 

14



 

contributions allocated to your account for that period, and any adjustments to your account to reflect earnings or losses (if any).

 

Amendment and Termination

 

It is the intention of Georgetown Savings Bank to continue the Plan indefinitely.  Nevertheless, Georgetown Savings Bank may terminate the Plan at any time.  If the Plan is terminated in whole or in part, then regardless of other provisions in the Plan, you will have a fully vested interest in your accounts.  Georgetown Savings Bank reserves the right to make any amendment or amendments to the Plan which do not cause any part of the trust to be used for, or diverted to, any purpose other than the exclusive benefit of participants or their beneficiaries; provided, however, that Georgetown Savings Bank may make any amendment it determines necessary or desirable, with or without retroactive effect, to comply with ERISA.

 

Merger, Consolidation or Transfer

 

In the event of the merger or consolidation of the Plan with another plan, or the transfer of the trust assets to another plan, the Plan requires that you would receive a benefit immediately after the merger, consolidation or transfer which is equal to or greater than the benefit you would have been entitled to receive immediately before the merger, consolidation or transfer.

 

Federal Income Tax Consequences

 

The following is a brief summary of the material federal income tax aspects of the Plan. You should not rely on this summary as a complete or definitive description of the material federal income tax consequences relating to the Plan.  Statutory provisions change, as do their interpretations, and their application may vary in individual circumstances.  Finally, the consequences under applicable state and local income tax laws may not be the same as under the federal income tax laws.  Please consult your tax advisor with respect to any distribution from the Plan and transactions involving the Plan.

 

As a “tax-qualified retirement plan,” the Code affords the Plan special tax treatment, including:

 

(1)                              the sponsoring employer is allowed an immediate tax deduction for the amount contributed to the Plan each year;

 

(2)                              participants pay no current income tax on amounts contributed by the employer on their behalf; and

 

(3)                              earnings of the Plan are tax-deferred, thereby permitting the tax-free accumulation of income and gains on investments.

 

Georgetown Savings Bank will administer the Plan to comply with the requirements of the Code as of the applicable effective date of any change in the law.

 

Lump-Sum Distribution. A distribution from the Plan to a participant or the beneficiary of a participant will qualify as a lump-sum distribution if it is made within one taxable year, on account of the participant’s death, disability or severance from employment, or after the participant attains age 59 ½, and consists of the balance credited to the participant under the Plan and all other profit sharing plans, if any, maintained by Georgetown Savings Bank.  The portion

 

15



 

of any lump-sum distribution required to be included in your taxable income for federal income tax purposes consists of the entire amount of the lump-sum distribution, less the amount of after-tax contributions, if any, you have made to this Plan and any other profit sharing plans maintained by Georgetown Savings Bank, which is included in the distribution.

 

New Georgetown Common Stock Included in Lump-Sum Distribution. If a lump-sum distribution includes New Georgetown common stock, the distribution generally will be taxed in the manner described above, except that the total taxable amount may be reduced by the amount of any net unrealized appreciation with respect to New Georgetown common stock; that is, the excess of the value of New Georgetown common stock at the time of the distribution over its cost or other basis of the securities to the trust.  The tax basis of New Georgetown common stock, for purposes of computing gain or loss on its subsequent sale, equals the value of New Georgetown common stock at the time of distribution, less the amount of net unrealized appreciation.  Any gain on a subsequent sale or other taxable disposition of New Georgetown common stock, to the extent of the amount of net unrealized appreciation at the time of distribution, will constitute long-term capital gain, regardless of the holding period of New Georgetown common stock.  Any gain on a subsequent sale or other taxable disposition of New Georgetown common stock, in excess of the amount of net unrealized appreciation at the time of distribution, will be considered long-term capital gain.  The recipient of a distribution may elect to include the amount of any net unrealized appreciation in the total taxable amount of the distribution, to the extent allowed by regulations to be issued by the Internal Revenue Service.

 

Distributions: Rollovers and Direct Transfers to Another Qualified Plan or to an Individual Retirement Account. You may roll over virtually all distributions from the Plan to another qualified plan or to an individual retirement account (“IRA”) in accordance with the terms of the other plan or account.

 

Notice of Your Rights Concerning Employer Securities.

 

Federal law provides specific rights concerning investments in employer securities.  Because you may in the future have investments in the New Georgetown Stock Fund under the Plan, you should take the time to read the following information carefully.

 

Your Rights Concerning Employer Securities. The Plan must allow you to elect to move any portion of your account that is invested in the Georgetown-Federal Stock Fund and New Georgetown Stock Fund from that investment into other investment alternatives under the Plan.  You may contact the Plan administrator shown above for specific information regarding this right, including how to make this election.  In deciding whether to exercise this right, you will want to give careful consideration to the information below that describes the importance of diversification.  All of the investment options under the Plan are available to you if you decide to diversify out of either the Georgetown-Federal Stock Fund or the New Georgetown Stock Fund.

 

The Importance of Diversifying Your Retirement Savings.  To help achieve long-term retirement security, you should give careful consideration to the benefits of a well-balanced and diversified investment portfolio.  Spreading your assets among different types of investments can help you achieve a favorable rate of return, while minimizing your overall risk of losing money.  This is because market or other economic conditions that cause one category of assets, or one particular security, to perform very well often cause another asset category, or another particular security, to perform poorly.  If you invest more than 20% of your retirement savings in any one

 

16



 

company or industry, your savings may not be properly diversified.  Although diversification is not a guarantee against loss, it is an effective strategy to help you manage investment risk.

 

In deciding how to invest your retirement savings, you should take into account all of your assets, including any retirement savings outside of the Plan.  No single approach is right for everyone because, among other factors, individuals have different financial goals, different time horizons for meeting their goals, and different tolerance for risk.  Therefore, you should carefully consider the rights described here and how these rights affect the amount of money that you invest in employer common stock through the Plan.

 

It is also important to periodically review your investment portfolio, your investment objectives, and the investment options under the Plan to help ensure that your retirement savings will meet your retirement goals.

 

Additional Employee Retirement Income Security Act (“ERISA”) Considerations

 

As noted above, the Plan is subject to certain provisions of ERISA, including special provisions relating to control over the Plan’s assets by participants and beneficiaries.  The Plan’s feature that allows you to direct the investment of your account balances is intended to satisfy the requirements of Section 404(c) of ERISA relating to control over plan assets by a participant or beneficiary.  The effect of this is two-fold.  First, you will not be deemed a “fiduciary” because of your exercise of investment discretion.  Second, no person who otherwise is a fiduciary, such as the Plan administrator, or the Plan’s trustee is liable under the fiduciary responsibility provision of ERISA for any loss which results from your exercise of control over the assets in your Plan account.

 

Because you will be entitled to invest all or a portion of your account balance in the Plan (other than amounts invested in the Georgetown-Federal Stock Fund) in New Georgetown common stock, the regulations under Section 404(c) of the ERISA require that the Plan establish procedures that ensure the confidentiality of your decision to purchase, hold, or sell employer securities, except to the extent that disclosure of such information is necessary to comply with federal or state laws not preempted by ERISA.  These regulations also require that your exercise of voting and similar rights with respect to the common stock be conducted in a way that ensures the confidentiality of your exercise of these rights.

 

Securities and Exchange Commission Reporting and Short-Swing Profit Liability

 

Section 16 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 imposes reporting and liability requirements on officers, directors, and persons beneficially owning more than 10% of public companies such as New Georgetown.   Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 requires the filing of reports of beneficial ownership.  Within 10 days of becoming an officer, director or person beneficially owning more than 10% of the shares of New Georgetown, a Form 3 reporting initial beneficial ownership must be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.  Changes in beneficial ownership, such as purchases, sales and gifts generally must be reported periodically, either on a Form 4 within two business days after the change occurs, or annually on a Form 5 within 45 days after the close of New Georgetown’s fiscal year.  Discretionary transactions in and beneficial ownership of the common stock through the New Georgetown Stock Fund of the Plan by officers, directors and persons beneficially owning more than 10% of the common stock of New Georgetown generally must be reported to the Securities and Exchange Commission by such individuals.

 

17



 

In addition to the reporting requirements described above, Section 16(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 provides for the recovery by New Georgetown of profits realized by an officer, director or any person beneficially owning more than 10% of New Georgetown’s common stock resulting from non-exempt purchases and sales of New Georgetown common stock within any six-month period.

 

The Securities and Exchange Commission has adopted rules that provide exemptions from the profit recovery provisions of Section 16(b) for all transactions in employer securities within an employee benefit plan, provided certain requirements are met.  These requirements generally involve restrictions upon the timing of elections to acquire or dispose of employer securities for the accounts of Section 16(b) persons.

 

Except for distributions of common stock due to death, disability, retirement, termination of employment or under a qualified domestic relations order, persons affected by Section 16(b) are required to hold shares of common stock distributed from the Plan for six months following such distribution and are prohibited from directing additional purchases of units within the New Georgetown Stock Fund for six months after receiving such a distribution.

 

Financial Information Regarding Plan Assets

 

Financial information representing the net assets available for Plan benefits and the change in net assets available for Plan benefits at December 31, 2011, is available upon written request to the Plan administrator at the address shown above.

PROSPECTUS

 

GEORGETOWN BANCORP, INC.

(Proposed Holding Company for Georgetown Savings Bank)

Up to 1,150,000 Shares of Common Stock

(Subject to Increase to up to 1,322,500 Shares)

 

Georgetown Bancorp, Inc., a newly formed Maryland corporation, is offering up to 1,150,000 shares of common stock for sale at $10.00 per share on a best efforts basis in connection with the conversion of Georgetown Bancorp, MHC from the mutual holding company to the stock holding company form of organization. The shares we are offering represent the ownership interest in Georgetown Bancorp, Inc., a federal corporation, currently owned by Georgetown Bancorp, MHC.  In this prospectus, we will refer to Georgetown Bancorp, Inc., the Maryland corporation, as “New Georgetown,” and we will refer to Georgetown Bancorp, Inc., the federal corporation, as “Georgetown-Federal.”  Georgetown-Federal’s common stock is currently quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board under the trading symbol “GTWN.”  We expect the shares of New Georgetown common stock to be traded on the Nasdaq Capital Market.  For a period of 20 trading days after the completion of the conversion and offering, the shares of New Georgetown common stock will trade under the symbol “GTWND.” Thereafter, the trading symbol will revert to “GTWN.”

 

The shares of common stock are first being offered in a subscription offering to eligible current and former depositors of Georgetown Savings Bank and tax-qualified employee benefit plans of Georgetown Savings Bank, as described in this prospectus.   Shares not purchased in the subscription offering may be offered for sale to the general public in a community offering, with a preference given to residents of the communities served by Georgetown Savings Bank and to shareholders of Georgetown-Federal.  We also may offer for sale shares of common stock not purchased in the subscription or community offerings in a syndicated community offering through a syndicate of selected dealers.

 

We may sell up to 1,322,500 shares of common stock because of demand for the shares of common stock or changes in market conditions, without resoliciting subscribers.  We must sell a minimum of 850,000 shares in the offering in order to complete the offering and the conversion.

 

In addition to the shares we are selling in the offering, shares of common stock of Georgetown-Federal held by public shareholders will be exchanged for shares of common stock of New Georgetown based on an exchange ratio that will result in the public shareholders owning approximately the same percentage of New Georgetown common stock as they owned in Georgetown-Federal immediately prior to the completion of the conversion.  We will issue up to 879,522 shares of common stock in the exchange, which may be increased to up to 1,011,450 shares if we sell 1,322,500 shares of common stock in the offering.

 

The minimum order is 25 shares.  The offering is expected to expire at 12:00 noon, Eastern Time, on June 19, 2012.  We may extend this expiration date without notice to you until August 3, 2012.  Once submitted, orders are irrevocable unless the offering is terminated or is extended, with approval of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, beyond August 3, 2012, or the number of shares of common stock to be sold is increased to more than 1,322,500 shares or decreased to less than 850,000 shares.  If the offering is extended past August 3, 2012, all subscribers will be notified and given an opportunity to confirm, change or cancel their orders.  If you do not respond to this notice, we will promptly return your funds with interest at 0.05% per annum or cancel your deposit account withdrawal authorization.  If the number of shares to be sold is increased to more than 1,322,500 shares or decreased to less than 850,000 shares, all funds delivered for the purchase of shares of common stock will be returned promptly with interest.  Funds received in the subscription and the community offerings will be held in a segregated account at Georgetown Savings Bank and will earn interest at 0.05% per annum until completion or termination of the offering.

 

Keefe, Bruyette & Woods, Inc. will assist us in selling our shares of common stock on a best efforts basis in the offering. Keefe, Bruyette & Woods, Inc. is not required to purchase any shares of common stock that are being offered for sale.

(1) The amounts shown assume that 75% of the shares are sold in the subscription and community offerings and the remaining 25% are sold in a syndicated community offering.  The amounts shown include fees and selling commissions payable by us: (i) to Keefe, Bruyette & Woods, Inc. in connection with the subscription and community offerings equal to 1.0% of the aggregate amount of common stock sold in the subscription and community offerings (net of insider purchases and shares purchased by our employee stock ownership plan); (ii) fees and selling commissions payable by us to Keefe, Bruyette & Woods, Inc. and any other brokers participating in the syndicated community offering equal to 6.0% of the aggregate amount of common stock sold in the syndicated community offering; and (iii) other fees and expenses of the offering payable to Keefe, Bruyette & Woods, Inc. of $115,000.  See “The Conversion and Offering—Plan of Distribution; Selling Agent Compensation” for information regarding compensation to be received by Keefe, Bruyette & Woods, Inc. and the other broker-dealers that may participate in the syndicated community offering and “Pro Forma Data” for the assumptions regarding the number of shares that may be sold in the subscription and community offerings and the syndicated community offering used to determine the estimated offering expenses.  If all shares of common stock were sold in the syndicated community offering, excluding shares purchased by the

 



 

employee stock ownership plan and shares purchased by insiders of Georgetown Bancorp, Inc., for which no selling agent commissions would be paid, the maximum selling agent commissions would be approximately $451,200, $534,000, $616,800 and $712,100 at the minimum, midpoint, maximum, and adjusted maximum levels of the offering, respectively.

SUMMARY

 

The following summary explains the significant aspects of the conversion, the offering and the exchange of existing shares of Georgetown-Federal common stock for shares of New Georgetown common stock.  It may not contain all of the information that is important to you. For additional information before making an investment decision, you should read this entire document carefully, including the consolidated financial statements and the notes to the consolidated financial statements, and the section entitled “Risk Factors.”

 

The Companies

 

New Georgetown

 

The shares being offered will be issued by New Georgetown, a newly formed Maryland corporation.  Upon completion of the conversion, New Georgetown will become the successor corporation to Georgetown-Federal and the parent holding company for Georgetown Savings Bank, and will be subject to comprehensive regulation and examination by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System.  New Georgetown’s executive offices are located at 2 East Main Street, Georgetown, Massachusetts 01833, and its telephone number at this address is (978) 352-8600.

 

Georgetown Savings Bank

 

Georgetown Savings Bank is a federally chartered savings bank that was originally founded in 1868.  In 2005, in connection with its mutual holding company reorganization, Georgetown Savings Bank converted from a Massachusetts-chartered savings bank to a federally chartered savings bank.  Georgetown Savings Bank conducts business from its home office located in Georgetown, Massachusetts and its two branch offices, located in North Andover and Rowley, Massachusetts.

 

Our principal business consists of attracting deposits from businesses and the general public primarily in Essex County, Massachusetts, and investing those deposits, together with borrowings and funds generated from operations, in one- to four- and multi-family residential mortgage loans, commercial business and real estate loans, construction loans, home equity loans and lines of credit and consumer loans, as well as investing in investment securities.  Our commercial loan portfolio, including commercial construction loans, has grown significantly since 2006, and represented 50.8% of our loan portfolio at December 31, 2011.  We primarily originate loans in eastern Massachusetts (which includes the Boston metropolitan area) and southern New Hampshire.  Georgetown Savings Bank is subject to comprehensive regulation and examination by the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency.

 

Georgetown Savings Bank’s website address is www.georgetownsb.com.  Information on this website is not and should not be considered a part of this prospectus.

 

Georgetown-Federal and Georgetown Bancorp, MHC

 

Georgetown-Federal is a federally chartered corporation that currently is the parent holding company of Georgetown Savings Bank.  At December 31, 2011, Georgetown-Federal had consolidated assets of $199.4 million, deposits of $151.1 million and shareholders’ equity of $20.3 million.  At December 31, 2011, Georgetown-Federal had 2,680,455 shares of common stock outstanding, of which 1,152,968 shares, or 43.0%, were owned by the public and will be exchanged for shares of common stock of New Georgetown as part of the conversion.  The remaining 1,527,487 shares of common stock of Georgetown-Federal are held by Georgetown Bancorp, MHC, a federally chartered mutual holding company whose sole business activity is the ownership of the majority of the shares of Georgetown-Federal common stock.  The shares of common stock being offered by New Georgetown represent Georgetown Bancorp, MHC’s 57.0% ownership interest in Georgetown-Federal.  Upon completion of the conversion and offering, Georgetown Bancorp, MHC’s shares will be cancelled and Georgetown Bancorp, MHC and Georgetown-Federal will no longer exist.

Our Organizational Structure

 

Georgetown Savings Bank reorganized in the two-tiered mutual holding company structure in 2005, and concurrently Georgetown-Federal sold a 45.0% minority interest in its shares of common stock to the public and issued a 55.0% majority interest in its shares of common stock to Georgetown Bancorp, MHC.

 

The following diagram shows our current organizational structure, reflecting ownership percentages as of December 31, 2011:

 

 

Pursuant to the terms of Georgetown Bancorp, MHC’s plan of conversion and reorganization, Georgetown Bancorp, MHC is now undergoing a “second-step” conversion by which it is converting from the partially public mutual holding company corporate structure to the fully public stock holding company corporate structure.  As part of the conversion, we are offering for sale the majority ownership interest in Georgetown-Federal that is currently held by Georgetown Bancorp, MHC.  Upon completion of the conversion and offering, Georgetown Bancorp, MHC and Georgetown-Federal will cease to exist, and we will complete the transition of our organization from being partially owned by public shareholders to being fully owned by public shareholders.  Upon completion of the conversion, public shareholders of Georgetown-Federal will receive shares of common stock of New Georgetown in exchange for their shares of Georgetown-Federal.

After the conversion and offering are completed, we will be organized as a fully public holding company, as follows:

 

 

 

Business Strategy

 

Highlights of our business strategies are:

 

·                                          Continuing to emphasize the origination of commercial loans.  In recent years, we have diversified our lending activities by increasing our origination of commercial and multi-family real estate loans, residential (one- to four-family) investment property loans and commercial business loans.  Our commercial loan portfolio, including commercial construction loans, has grown significantly since 2006, to $82.6 million, or 50.8% of our total loan portfolio as of December 31, 2011 compared to $24.0 million, or 18.5% of our loan portfolio at June 30, 2006.

 

·                                          Continuing to emphasize core deposit growth to reduce our funding costs.  Our balance of demand deposit accounts, NOW accounts, savings accounts and money market deposits, which we consider core deposits, has increased to 69.9% of total deposits at December 31, 2011 from 58.0% of deposits at June 30, 2006.  This, along with a significantly lower interest rate environment, has helped to lower the weighted average cost of our deposits to 0.78% for the year ended December 31, 2011 from 2.53% for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2006.

 

·                                          Maintaining high asset quality through conservative underwriting and aggressive monitoring of our assets.  We have emphasized maintaining strong asset quality by following conservative underwriting criteria, and primarily originating loans secured by real estate, and when appropriate, guaranteed by state or government programs like the U.S. Small Business Administration.  At December 31, 2011 and 2010, our ratio of non-performing assets to total assets was 1.59% and 0.15%, respectively.  This compares with the ratios of 3.59% and 3.71%, respectively, as of the same dates (or the latest date for which information was available as of March 2, 2012) for all Nasdaq-listed banks and thrifts and 1.51% and 1.48%, respectively as of the same dates (or the latest date for which information was available as of March 2, 2012) for all Nasdaq-listed banks and thrifts located in Massachusetts.

 

3



 

·                                          Expanding our secondary mortgage marketing capabilities.  Recently, we have developed a mortgage banking operation, as we sold $19.4 million of residential loans in the secondary market during the year ended December 31, 2011, generating $403,000 in net gain on sale income.  We expect to have a greater emphasis in this activity in the future as, among other things, we intend to expand our residential mortgage origination staff.

 

·                                          Remaining a community bank.  We have been, and continue to be, committed to meeting the financial needs of the communities in which we operate, and we are dedicated to providing exceptional personal service to our customers.  We emphasize personalized banking, competitive pricing strategies and the advantage of local decision-making in our banking business.  In addition, our senior management has an average experience of 27 years in the banking industry and has extensive knowledge of our local markets.

 

See “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Business Strategy” for a more complete discussion of our business strategy.

 

Reasons for the Conversion and Offering

 

Our primary reasons for converting to the fully public stock form of ownership and undertaking the stock offering are to:

 

·                                          increase our capital to support continued growth and future business activities;

 

·                                          transition us from the mutual holding company structure to a more familiar and flexible organizational structure;

 

·                                          improve the trading liquidity of our shares of common stock; and

 

·                                          eliminate the uncertainties associated with the mutual holding company structure resulting from the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and the sunset of the Office of Thrift Supervision.

 

See “The Conversion and Offering” for a more complete discussion of our reasons for conducting the conversion and offering.

 

Terms of the Offering

 

We are offering between 850,000 and 1,150,000 shares of common stock to eligible current and former depositors of Georgetown Savings Bank and to Georgetown Savings Bank’s tax-qualified employee benefit plans in a subscription offering.  To the extent shares remain available, we may offer shares for sale in a community offering, with preference given to residents of the Massachusetts counties of Suffolk, Middlesex and Essex and the New Hampshire county of Rockingham, and then to Georgetown-Federal’s public shareholders.  We may also offer for sale shares of common stock not purchased in the subscription offering or the community offering in a syndicated community offering.  The number of shares of common stock to be sold may be increased to up to 1,322,500 shares as a result of demand for the shares of common stock in the offering or changes in market conditions.  Unless the number of shares of common stock to be offered is increased to more than 1,322,500 shares or decreased to fewer than 850,000 shares, or the offering is extended beyond August 3, 2012, subscribers will not have the opportunity to change or cancel their stock orders once submitted.  If the offering is extended past August 3, 2012, all subscribers will be notified and given an opportunity to confirm, change or cancel their orders.  If you do not respond to this notice, we will promptly return your funds with interest at 0.05% per annum or cancel your deposit account withdrawal authorization.  If the number of shares to be sold is increased to more than 1,322,500 shares or decreased to less than 850,000 shares, all subscribers’ stock orders will be canceled, their withdrawal authorizations will be canceled and funds delivered for the purchase of shares of common stock in the subscription and community

 

4



 

offerings will be returned promptly with interest at 0.05% per annum.  We will give these subscribers an opportunity to place new orders for a period of time.

 

The purchase price of each share of common stock to be offered for sale in the offering is $10.00.  All investors will pay the same purchase price per share.  Investors will not be charged a commission to purchase shares of common stock in the offering.  Keefe, Bruyette & Woods, Inc., our marketing agent in the offering, will use its best efforts to assist us in selling shares of our common stock but is not obligated to purchase any shares of common stock in the offering.

 

How We Determined the Offering Range, the Exchange Ratio and the $10.00 Per Share Stock Price

 

The amount of common stock we are offering for sale and the exchange ratio for the exchange of shares of New Georgetown for shares of Georgetown-Federal are based on an independent appraisal of the estimated market value of New Georgetown, assuming the conversion, exchange and offering are completed.  RP Financial, LC., our independent appraiser, has estimated that, as of February 24, 2012, this market value was $17.6 million.  Based on federal regulations, this market value forms the midpoint of a valuation range with a minimum of $15.0 million and a maximum of $20.3 million.  Based on this valuation and the valuation range, the ownership interest of Georgetown Bancorp, MHC in Georgetown-Federal and the $10.00 per share price, the number of shares of common stock being offered for sale by New Georgetown will range from 850,000 shares to 1,150,000 shares.  The purchase price of $10.00 per share was determined by us, taking into account, among other factors, the market price of our common stock prior to adoption of the plan of conversion and reorganization, the requirement under federal regulations that the common stock be offered in a manner that will achieve the widest distribution of the common stock, and desired liquidity in the common stock after the offering.  The exchange ratio will range from 0.55647 shares at the minimum of the offering range to 0.75287 shares at the maximum of the offering range, and will preserve the existing percentage ownership of public shareholders of Georgetown-Federal (excluding any new shares purchased by them in the stock offering and their receipt of cash in lieu of fractional exchange shares).  If demand for shares or market conditions warrant, the appraisal can be increased by 15%, which would result in an appraised value of $23.3 million, an offering of 1,322,500 shares of common stock, and an exchange ratio of 0.86580 shares.

 

The appraisal is based in part on Georgetown-Federal’s financial condition and results of operations, the pro forma effect of the additional capital raised by the sale of shares of common stock in the offering, and an analysis of a peer group of ten publicly traded savings and loan holding companies that RP Financial, LC. considers comparable to Georgetown-Federal.  The appraisal peer group consists of the following companies.  Except where indicated, asset size is as of December 31, 2011.

The independent appraisal does not indicate trading market value.  Do not assume or expect that our valuation as indicated in the appraisal means that after the conversion and offering the shares of our common stock will trade at or above the $10.00 per share purchase price.  Furthermore, the pricing ratios presented in the appraisal were utilized by RP Financial, LC. to estimate our pro forma appraised value for regulatory purposes and not to compare the relative value of shares of our common stock with the value of the capital stock of the peer group.  The value of the capital stock of a particular company may be affected by a number of factors such as financial performance, asset size and market location.

Stock price performance is affected by many factors, including, but not limited to:  general market and economic conditions; the interest rate environment; the amount of proceeds a company raises in its offering; and

 

6



 

numerous company-specific factors, including the experience and ability of management, historical and anticipated operating results, the nature and quality of the company’s assets, and the company’s market area.  None of the companies listed in the table above are exactly similar to New Georgetown, the pricing ratios for their stock offerings may have been different from the pricing ratios for New Georgetown shares of common stock and the market conditions in which these offerings were completed may have been different from current market conditions.  Furthermore, this table presents only short-term performance with respect to companies that recently completed their second-step conversions and may not be indicative of the longer-term stock price performance of these companies.  The performance of these stocks may not be indicative of how our stock will perform.

 

Our stock price may trade below $10.00 per share, as the stock prices of certain second-step conversions have decreased below the initial offering price.  Before you make an investment decision, we urge you to carefully read this prospectus, including, but not limited to, the section entitled “Risk Factors” beginning on page 16.

 

The Exchange of Existing Shares of Georgetown-Federal Common Stock

 

If you are a shareholder of Georgetown-Federal, your shares as of the completion date of the conversion will be cancelled and exchanged for shares of common stock of New Georgetown.  The number of shares of common stock you receive will be based on the exchange ratio, which will depend upon our final appraised value.  The following table shows how the exchange ratio will adjust, based on the valuation of New Georgetown and the number of shares of common stock issued in the offering, with share ownership percentages as of February 29, 2012.  The table also shows the number of shares of New Georgetown common stock a hypothetical owner of Georgetown-Federal common stock would receive in exchange for 100 shares of Georgetown-Federal common stock owned at the completion of the conversion, depending on the number of shares of common stock issued in the offering.

Outstanding options to purchase shares of Georgetown-Federal common stock will convert into and become options to purchase shares of New Georgetown common stock based upon the exchange ratio. The aggregate exercise price, duration and vesting schedule of these options will not be affected by the conversion.  At December 31, 2011, there were 41,498 outstanding options to purchase shares of Georgetown-Federal common stock, 4,946 of which have vested.  Such outstanding options will be converted into options to purchase 23,092

shares of common stock at the minimum of the offering range and 35,929 shares of common stock at the adjusted maximum of the offering range.

 

How We Intend to Use the Proceeds From the Offering

 

We intend to invest at least 50% of the net proceeds from the stock offering in Georgetown Savings Bank.  We also intend to loan funds to our employee stock ownership plan to fund its purchase of shares of common stock in the stock offering and retain the remainder of the net proceeds from the offering.  Assuming we sell 1,000,000 shares of common stock in the stock offering, and we have net proceeds of $8.9 million, we intend to invest $4.5 million in Georgetown Savings Bank, loan $800,000 to our employee stock ownership plan to fund its purchase of shares of common stock and retain the remaining $3.6 million of the net proceeds.

 

We may use the funds we retain to pay cash dividends, to repurchase shares of common stock, for investments and for other general corporate purposes.  Georgetown Savings Bank may use the proceeds it receives from us to support increased lending (with a primary emphasis on commercial and multi-family real estate lending, one- to four-family investment property lending and commercial business lending, to expand its retail banking franchise and to support other products and services.

 

Please see the section of this prospectus entitled “How We Intend to Use the Proceeds from the Offering” for more information on the proposed use of the proceeds from the offering.

 

Persons Who May Order Shares of Common Stock in the Offering

 

We are offering the shares of common stock in a subscription offering in the following descending order of priority:

 

(i)

First, to depositors with accounts at Georgetown Savings Bank with aggregate balances of at least $50 at the close of business on September 30, 2010.

 

 

(ii)

Second, to our tax-qualified employee benefit plans (specifically Georgetown Savings Bank’s employee stock ownership plan and 401(k) plan), which will receive, without payment therefor, nontransferable subscription rights to purchase in the aggregate up to 10% of the shares of common stock sold in the offering. We expect our employee stock ownership plan to purchase 8% of the shares of common stock sold in the offering.

 

 

(iii)

Third, to depositors with accounts at Georgetown Savings Bank with aggregate balances of at least $50 at the close of business on March 31, 2012 who are not eligible in category 1, above.

 

 

(iv)

Fourth, to depositors of Georgetown Savings Bank at the close of business on April 30, 2012 who are not eligible in categories 1 or 3, above.

 

Shares of common stock not purchased in the subscription offering may be offered for sale in a community offering, with a preference given first to natural persons (including trusts of natural persons) residing in the Massachusetts counties of Suffolk, Middlesex and Essex and the New Hampshire county of Rockingham, and then to Georgetown-Federal’s public shareholders as of April 30, 2012.  The community offering may begin concurrently with, during or after the subscription offering.  We also may offer for sale shares of common stock not purchased in the subscription offering or the community offering through a syndicated community offering, which will be managed by Keefe, Bruyette & Woods, Inc.  We have the right to accept or reject, in our sole discretion, orders received in the community offering or syndicated community offering.  Any determination to accept or reject stock orders in the community offering and the syndicated community offering will be based on the facts and circumstances available to management at the time of the determination.

 

If we receive orders for more shares than we are offering, we may not be able to fully or partially fill your order.  Shares will be allocated first to categories in the subscription offering.  A detailed description of the

subscription offering, the community offering and the syndicated community offering, as well as a discussion regarding allocation procedures, can be found in the section of this prospectus entitled “The Conversion and Offering.”

 

Limits on How Much Common Stock You May Purchase

 

The minimum number of shares of common stock that may be purchased is 25.

 

Generally, no individual may purchase more than 40,000 shares ($400,000) of common stock.  If any of the following persons purchase shares of common stock, their purchases, in all categories of the offering combined, when combined with your purchases, also cannot exceed 40,000 shares ($400,000) of common stock:

 

·

 

your spouse or relatives of you or your spouse living in your house;

 

 

 

·

 

most companies, trusts or other entities in which you are a trustee, have a substantial beneficial interest or hold a senior position; or

 

 

 

·

 

other persons who may be your associates or persons acting in concert with you.

 

Unless we determine otherwise, persons having the same address and persons exercising subscription rights through qualifying deposit accounts registered to the same address will be subject to the overall purchase limitation of 40,000 shares ($400,000).

 

In addition to the above purchase limitations, there is an ownership limitation for shareholders of Georgetown-Federal other than our employee stock ownership plan.  Shares of common stock that you purchase in the offering, individually and together with persons described above, plus any shares you and they receive in exchange for shares of Georgetown-Federal common stock, may not exceed 5% of the total shares of common stock to be issued and outstanding after the completion of the conversion.  However, if, based on your current ownership level, you will own more than 5% of the total shares of common stock to be issued and outstanding after the completion of the conversion, you will not need to divest any of your shares.

 

Subject to Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System approval, we may increase or decrease the purchase and ownership limitations at any time.  See the detailed description of the purchase limitations in the section of this prospectus headed “The Conversion and Offering—Additional Limitations on Common Stock Purchases.”

 

How You May Purchase Shares of Common Stock in the Subscription Offering and the Community Offering

 

In the subscription offering and community offering, you may pay for your shares only by:

 

(i)

 

personal check, bank check or money order made payable directly to Georgetown Bancorp, Inc.; or

 

 

 

(ii)

 

authorizing us to withdraw available funds from the types of Georgetown Savings Bank deposit accounts designated on the stock order form.

 

Georgetown Savings Bank is not permitted to lend funds to anyone for the purpose of purchasing shares of common stock in the offering.  Additionally, you may not use a Georgetown Savings Bank line of credit check or any type of third party check to pay for shares of common stock.  Please do not submit cash or wire transfers.  You may not designate withdrawal from Georgetown Savings Bank accounts with check-writing privileges; instead, please submit a check.  If you request that we directly withdraw the funds, we reserve the right to interpret that as your authorization to treat those funds as if we had received a check for the designated amount, and we will immediately withdraw the amount from your checking account.  You may not authorize direct withdrawal from a

Georgetown Savings Bank retirement account.  See “—Using Retirement Account Funds to Purchase Shares of Common Stock.”

 

You may subscribe for shares of common stock in the offering by delivering a signed and completed original stock order form, together with full payment payable to Georgetown Bancorp, Inc. or authorization to withdraw funds from one or more of your Georgetown Savings Bank deposit accounts, provided that the stock order form is received before 12:00 noon, Eastern Time, on June 19, 2012.  You may submit your order form and payment by mail using the return envelope provided, by bringing your stock order form to our Stock Information Center or to any of our branch offices, or by overnight delivery to the indicated address on the order form.  Due to recent reductions in U.S. Postal Service 1st Class Mail delivery standards, we encourage subscribers to consider in-person or overnight delivery to enhance the likelihood that your order is received before the deadline.

 

Please see “The Conversion and Offering—Procedure for Purchasing Shares—Payment for Shares” for a complete description of how to purchase shares in the stock offering.

 

Using Retirement Account Funds to Purchase Shares of Common Stock

 

You may be able to subscribe for shares of common stock using funds in your individual retirement account, or IRA.  If you wish to use some or all of the funds in your IRA or other retirement account held at Georgetown Savings Bank, the applicable funds must be transferred to a self-directed account maintained by an independent custodian or trustee, such as a brokerage firm, before you place your stock order. If you do not have such an account, you will need to establish one. An annual administrative fee may be payable to the independent custodian or trustee. Because individual circumstances differ and the processing of retirement account orders takes additional time, we recommend that you contact our Stock Information Center promptly, preferably at least two weeks before the June 19, 2012 offering deadline, for assistance with purchases using your IRA or other retirement account held at Georgetown Savings Bank or elsewhere.  Whether you may use such funds for the purchase of shares in the stock offering may depend on timing constraints and, possibly, limitations imposed by the institution where the funds are held.

 

See “The Conversion and Offering—Procedure for Purchasing Shares—Payment for Shares” and “—Using Retirement Account Funds” for a complete description of how to use IRA funds to purchase shares in the stock offering.

 

Purchases by Executive Officers and Directors

 

We expect our directors and executive officers, together with their associates, to subscribe for 29,950 shares of common stock in the offering, representing 3.5% of shares to be sold at the minimum of the offering range.  The purchase price paid by them will be the same $10.00 per share price paid by all other persons who purchase shares of common stock in the offering.  Following the conversion, our directors and executive officers, together with their associates, are expected to beneficially own 145,739 shares of common stock (including exercisable options), or 9.7% of our total outstanding shares of common stock at the minimum of the offering range.  Their ownership will include shares they will receive in exchange for their shares of Georgetown-Federal.

 

Any purchases made by our directors or executive officers, or their associates, for the explicit purpose of meeting the minimum number of shares of common stock required to be sold in order to complete the offering shall be made for investment purposes only and not with a view toward redistribution.

 

See “Subscriptions by Directors and Executive Officers” for more information on the proposed purchases of shares of common stock by our directors and executive officers.

 

Deadline for Orders of Shares of Common Stock in the Subscription and Community Offerings

 

The deadline for purchasing shares of common stock in the subscription and community offerings is 12:00 noon, Eastern Time, on June 19, 2012, unless we extend this deadline.  If you wish to purchase shares of common

 

10



 

stock, a properly completed and signed original stock order form, together with full payment, must be received (not postmarked) by this time.

 

Although we will make reasonable attempts to provide this prospectus and offering materials to holders of subscription rights, the subscription offering and all subscription rights will expire at 12:00 noon, Eastern Time, on June 19, 2012, whether or not we have been able to locate each person entitled to subscription rights.

 

See “The Conversion and Offering—Procedure for Purchasing Shares—Expiration Date” for a complete description of the deadline for purchasing shares in the stock offering.

 

Our Dividend Policy

 

Our Board of Directors intends to declare a cash dividend on our shares of common stock after the first full fiscal quarter following the completion of the stock offering.  However, no decision has been made with respect to the amount of dividends to be paid.  In addition, no assurances can be given that any dividends will be paid or that, if paid, will not be eliminated or reduced in the future.  The payment and amount of any dividend payments will depend upon a number of factors.  For further information, see “Our Dividend Policy.”

 

Our Market Area

 

We conduct our operations from our main office in Georgetown, Massachusetts and two full-service branches, all of which are located in Essex County, Massachusetts.   We primarily serve communities located in Essex County, Massachusetts for deposit products and the eastern Massachusetts and southern New Hampshire regions for lending products, and we also serve customers in the Boston metropolitan area.

 

For more information, see “Business of Georgetown-Federal and Georgetown Savings Bank—Market Area.”

 

Delivery of Stock Certificates in the Subscription and Community Offerings

 

Certificates representing shares of common stock sold in the subscription offering and community offering will be mailed to the certificate registration address noted by purchasers on the stock order form.  It is possible that until certificates for the common stock are delivered to purchasers, purchasers might not be able to sell the shares of common stock that they ordered, even though the common stock will have begun trading.  Your ability to sell the shares of common stock before receiving your stock certificate will depend on arrangements you may make with a brokerage firm.  If you are currently a shareholder of Georgetown-Federal, see “The Conversion and Offering—Share Exchange Ratio for Shareholders of Georgetown-Federal.”

 

Conditions to Completion of the Conversion

 

We cannot complete the conversion and offering unless:

 

·

 

The plan of conversion and reorganization is approved by at least a majority of votes eligible to be cast by depositors of Georgetown Savings Bank as of April 30, 2012;

 

 

 

·

 

The plan of conversion and reorganization is approved by votes representing at least two-thirds of the outstanding shares of common stock of Georgetown-Federal as of April 30, 2012, including shares held by Georgetown Bancorp, MHC;

 

 

 

·

 

The plan of conversion and reorganization is approved by votes representing at least a majority of the outstanding shares of common stock of Georgetown-Federal as of April 30, 2012, excluding those shares held by Georgetown Bancorp, MHC;

 

11



 

·

 

The plan of conversion and reorganization is approved by at least a majority of the votes cast by corporators of Georgetown Bancorp, MHC;

 

 

 

·

 

We sell at least the minimum number of shares of common stock offered; and

 

 

 

·

 

We receive the final approval of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System to complete the conversion and offering.

 

Georgetown Bancorp, MHC intends to vote its shares in favor of the plan of conversion and reorganization.  At April 30, 2012, Georgetown Bancorp, MHC owned 56.7% of the outstanding shares of common stock of Georgetown-Federal.  The directors and executive officers of Georgetown-Federal and their affiliates owned 196,628 shares of Georgetown-Federal (excluding exercisable options), or 7.2% of the outstanding shares of common stock and 16.8% of the outstanding shares of common stock excluding shares owned by Georgetown Bancorp, MHC. They intend to vote those shares in favor of the plan of conversion and reorganization.

 

Steps We May Take if We Do Not Receive Orders for the Minimum Number of Shares

 

If we do not receive orders for at least 850,000 shares of common stock, we may take several steps in order to issue the minimum number of shares of common stock in the offering range.  Specifically, we may:

 

(i)

increase the purchase and ownership limitations; and/or

 

 

(ii)

seek regulatory approval to extend the offering beyond August 3, 2012; and/or

 

 

(iii)

increase the number of shares purchased by the employee stock ownership plan.

 

If we extend the offering beyond August 3, 2012, all subscribers will be notified and given an opportunity to confirm, change or cancel their orders.  If you do not respond to this notice, we will promptly return your funds with interest at 0.05% per annum or cancel your deposit account withdrawal authorization.  If one or more purchase limitations are increased, subscribers in the subscription offering who ordered the maximum amount and who indicated a desire to be resolicited on the stock order form will be and, in our sole discretion, some other large purchasers may be, given the opportunity to increase their subscriptions up to the then-applicable limit.

 

Possible Change in the Offering Range

 

RP Financial, LC. will update its appraisal before we complete the offering.  If, as a result of demand for the shares or changes in market conditions, RP Financial, LC. determines that our pro forma market value has increased, we may sell up to 1,322,500 shares in the offering without further notice to you.  If our pro forma market value at that time is either below $15.0 million or above $23.3 million, then, after consulting with the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, we may:

 

·

 

terminate the stock offering and promptly return all funds (with interest paid on funds received in the subscription and community offerings);

 

 

 

·

 

set a new offering range; or

 

 

 

·

 

take such other actions as may be permitted by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System and the Securities and Exchange Commission.

 

If we set a new offering range, we will promptly return funds, with interest at 0.05% per annum for funds received for purchases in the subscription and community offerings, and cancel authorizations to withdraw funds from deposit accounts for the purchase of shares of common stock.  We will contact subscribers, allowing them to place a new stock order for a period of time.

 

12



 

Possible Termination of the Offering

 

We may terminate the offering at any time prior to the special meeting of depositors of Georgetown Bancorp, MHC that is being called to vote on the conversion, and at any time after depositor approval with the concurrence of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System.  If we terminate the offering, we will promptly return funds, with interest at 0.05% per annum, and we will cancel deposit account withdrawal authorizations.

 

Benefits to Management and Potential Dilution to Shareholders Resulting from the Conversion

 

We expect our employee stock ownership plan, which is a tax-qualified retirement plan for the benefit of all of our employees, to purchase up to 8% of the shares of common stock we sell in the offering.

 

Federal regulations permit us to implement one or more new stock-based benefit plans no earlier than six months after completion of the conversion.  Our current intention is to implement one or more new stock-based incentive plans, but we have not determined whether we will adopt the plans within 12 months following the completion of the conversion or more than 12 months following the completion of the conversion.  Shareholder approval of these plans will be required.  If we implement stock-based benefit plans within 12 months following the completion of the conversion, the stock-based benefit plans would reserve a number of shares (i) up to 4% of the shares of common stock sold in the offering (reduced by amounts purchased in the stock offering by our 401(k) plan using its purchase priority in the subscription offering) for awards of restricted stock to key employees and directors, at no cost to the recipients, and (ii) up to 10% of the shares of common stock sold in the offering for issuance pursuant to the exercise of stock options by key employees and directors.  The total number of shares available under the stock-based benefit plans is subject to adjustment as may be required by Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System regulations or policy to reflect shares of common stock or stock options previously granted by Georgetown-Federal or Georgetown Savings Bank.  For stock-based benefit plans adopted within 12 months following the completion of the conversion, current Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System policy would require that the total number of shares of restricted stock and the total number of shares available for the exercise of stock options not exceed 4% and 10%, respectively, of our total outstanding shares following the conversion.  If the stock-based benefit plan is adopted more than 12 months after the completion of the conversion, it would not be subject to the percentage limitations set forth above.  We have not yet determined the number of shares that would be reserved for issuance under these plans.  For a description of our current stock-based benefit plan, see “Management—Outstanding Equity Awards at Year End.”

 

The following table summarizes the number of shares of common stock and the aggregate dollar value of grants that are available under one or more stock-based benefit plans if such plans reserve a number of shares of common stock equal to not more than 4% and 10% of the shares sold in the stock offering for restricted stock awards and stock options, respectively.  The table shows the dilution to shareholders if all such shares are issued from authorized but unissued shares, instead of shares purchased in the open market.  A portion of the stock grants shown in the table below may be made to non-management employees or consultants. The table also sets forth the number of shares of common stock to be acquired by the employee stock ownership plan for allocation to all qualifying employees.

The actual value of restricted stock awards will be determined based on their fair value as of the date grants are made. For purposes of this table, fair value for stock awards is assumed to be the same as the offering price of $10.00 per share. The fair value of stock options has been estimated at $3.16 per option using the Black-Scholes option pricing model, adjusted for the exchange ratio, with the following assumptions: a grant-date share price and option exercise price of $10.00; an expected option life of 10 years; a dividend yield of 0%; a risk-free rate of return of 1.89%; and a volatility rate of 19.34%. The actual value of option grants will be determined by the grant-date fair value of the options, which will depend on a number of factors, including the valuation assumptions used in the option pricing model ultimately adopted.

(2)

No dilution is reflected for the employee stock ownership plan because such shares are assumed to be purchased in the stock offering.

 

We may fund our stock-based benefit plans through open market purchases, as opposed to new issuances of stock; however, if any options previously granted under our existing 2009 Equity Incentive Plan are exercised during the first year following completion of the offering, they will be funded with newly issued shares as Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System regulations do not permit us to repurchase our shares during the first year following the completion of the offering except to fund the grants of restricted stock under our stock-based benefit plan or under extraordinary circumstances.  We expect that the exercise of outstanding options and cancellation of treasury shares in the conversion will not constitute an extraordinary circumstance for purposes of this test.

 

The following table presents information as of February 29, 2012 regarding our employee stock ownership plan, our 2009 Equity Incentive Plan and our proposed stock-based benefit plan.  The table below assumes that 2,029,522 shares are outstanding after the offering, which includes the sale of 1,150,000 shares in the offering at the maximum of the offering range and the issuance of shares in exchange for shares of Georgetown-Federal using an exchange ratio of 0.75287.  It also assumes that the value of the stock is $10.00 per share, and that the fair value of stock options is $3.16 per option, using the assumptions set forth in the footnote to the table, above.

(2)          As of February 29, 2012, 53,742 of these shares, or 71,384 shares prior to adjustment for the exchange, have been allocated.

(3)          The 2009 Equity Incentive Plan allows for the award of a total of 188,217 shares of stock, or 250,000 shares prior to adjustment, through a combination of stock options and shares of restricted stock.  For purposes of this table, it is assumed that, under the 2009 Equity Incentive Plan, up to 60,230 shares (80,000 prior to adjustment) may be awarded as shares of restricted stock and up to 127,987 shares (170,000 prior to adjustment) may be awarded through the exercise of stock options.

(4)          As of February 29, 2012, 31,883 of these shares, or 42,348 shares prior to adjustment for the exchange, have been awarded, and 11,710 of these shares, or 15,554 shares prior to adjustment for the exchange, have vested.

(5)          The value of restricted stock awards is determined based on their fair value as of the date grants are made.  For purposes of this table, the fair value of awards under the new stock-based benefit plan is assumed to be the same as the offering price of $10.00 per share.

(6)          In the event a stock-based incentive plan is implemented within 12 months of the completion of the conversion, the number of new shares of restricted stock and shares reserved for stock options would have to be reduced such that the aggregate amount of stock awards and shares reserved for stock options would be 4% or less and 10% or less, respectively, of our outstanding shares, unless we obtain a waiver from the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System.  We have not determined whether we will implement a new stock-based incentive plan earlier than 12 months after completion of the conversion or more than 12 months after the completion of the conversion.

(7)          As of February 29, 2012, options to purchase 44,413 of these shares, or 58,992 shares prior to adjustment for the exchange, have been awarded, and options to purchase 11,070 of these shares, or 14,704 shares prior to adjustment for the exchange, have vested.

 

Market for Common Stock

 

Publicly held shares of Georgetown-Federal’s common stock are quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board under the symbol “GTWN.”  Upon completion of the conversion, the shares of common stock of New Georgetown will replace the existing shares.  We expect the shares of New Georgetown common stock to be traded on the Nasdaq Capital Market.  For a period of 20 trading days after the completion of the conversion and offering, the shares of New Georgetown common stock will trade under the symbol “GTWND.” Thereafter, the trading symbol will revert to “GTWN.”  In order to list our stock on the Nasdaq Capital Market, we are required to have at least three broker-dealers who will make a market in our common stock, and we believe we will be able to comply with this requirement.  Keefe, Bruyette & Woods, Inc. has advised us that it intends to make a market in our common stock following the offering, but it is under no obligation to do so.

Federal regulations prohibit you from transferring your subscription rights.  If you order shares of common stock in the subscription offering, you will be required to state that you are purchasing the common stock for yourself and that you have no agreement or understanding to sell or transfer your subscription rights.  We intend to take legal action against anyone who we believe has sold or transferred his or her subscription rights.  In addition, we intend to advise the appropriate federal agencies of any person who we believe has sold or transferred his or her subscription rights.  We will not accept your order if we have reason to believe that you have sold or transferred your subscription rights.  On the order form, you may not add the names of others for joint stock registration who do not have subscription rights or who qualify only in a lower subscription offering priority than you do.  You may add only those who were eligible to purchase shares of common stock in the subscription offering at your date of eligibility.  In addition, the stock order form requires that you list all qualifying deposit accounts, giving all names on each account and the account number at the applicable eligibility date.  Failure to provide this information, or providing incomplete or incorrect information, may result in a loss of part or all of your share allocation if there is an oversubscription.

 

Tax Consequences

 

Georgetown Bancorp, MHC, Georgetown-Federal, Georgetown Savings Bank and New Georgetown have received an opinion of counsel, Luse Gorman Pomerenk & Schick, P.C., regarding the material federal income tax consequences of the conversion, and have received an opinion of Shatswell, MacLeod & Company, P.C. regarding the material Massachusetts state tax consequences of the conversion.  As a general matter, the conversion will not be a taxable transaction for purposes of federal or state income taxes to Georgetown Bancorp, MHC, Georgetown-Federal (except for cash paid for fractional shares), Georgetown Savings Bank, New Georgetown, persons eligible to subscribe in the subscription offering, or existing shareholders of Georgetown-Federal.  The federal tax opinion also indicates that it is more likely than not that the fair market value of the subscription rights to purchase shares of common stock in the offering is zero.  Existing shareholders of Georgetown-Federal who receive cash in lieu of

RISK FACTORS

 

You should consider carefully the following risk factors in evaluating an investment in the shares of common stock.

 

Risks Related to Our Business

 

Historically low interest rates may adversely affect our net interest income and profitability.

 

In recent years it has been the policy of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System to maintain interest rates at historically low levels through its targeted federal funds rate and the purchase of mortgage-backed securities.  As a result, interest rates on the loans we have originated and the yields on securities we have purchased have been at historically low levels.  As a general matter, our interest-bearing liabilities reprice or mature more quickly than our interest-earning assets, which has resulted in increases in net interest income in the short term.  However, our ability to reduce our interest expense is limited at these interest rate levels while the average yield on our interest-earning assets may continue to decrease.  The Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System has indicated its intention to maintain low interest rates in the near future.  Accordingly, our net interest income (the difference between interest income earned on assets and interest expense paid on liabilities) may decrease, which may have an adverse affect on our profitability.  For information with respect to changes in interest rates, see “—Changes in interest rates could adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition.”

 

Our emphasis on commercial lending may expose us to increased lending risks, which could hurt our profits.

 

We originate commercial business loans, commercial real estate loans and residential investment property loans generally within our primary lending market area.  These loans, which totaled $59.4 million, or 36.5% of our loan portfolio at December 31, 2011, generally have a higher risk of loss compared to our one- to four-family residential real estate loans.  Commercial business loans and commercial real estate loans may expose us to greater credit risk than our loans secured by residential real estate because the collateral securing these loans may not be sold as easily as residential real estate.  In addition, commercial business loans and commercial real estate loans may also involve relatively large loan balances to individual borrowers or groups of borrowers.  These loans also have greater credit risk than residential real estate loans for the following reasons:

 

·

 

commercial business loans - repayment is generally dependent upon the successful operation of the borrower’s business.

 

 

 

·

 

commercial real estate loans - repayment is dependent on income being generated in amounts sufficient to cover operating expenses and debt service.

 

 

 

·

 

residential investment property loans (one- to four-family and multi-family) – repayment is dependent on income being generated in amounts sufficient to cover property maintenance and debt service.

 

16



 

In addition, if loans that are collateralized by real estate become troubled and the value of the real estate has been significantly impaired, then we may not be able to recover the full contractual amount of principal and interest that we anticipated at the time we originated the loan, which could cause us to increase our provision for loan losses and adversely affect our operating results and financial condition.  Also, the collateral underlying commercial business loans may fluctuate in value.  Some of our commercial business loans are collateralized by equipment, inventory, accounts receivable or other business assets, and the liquidation of collateral in the event of default is often an insufficient source of repayment because accounts receivable may be uncollectible and inventories may be obsolete or of limited use.

 

Our construction lending may expose us to increased lending risks, which could hurt our profits.

 

At December 31, 2011, we had $23.2 million of construction loans, representing 14.3% of our total loan portfolio at that date.  These loans generally have a higher risk of loss compared to our one- to four-family residential real estate loans.  Construction lending involves additional risks because of the inherent difficulty in estimating a property’s value both before and at completion of the project.  Construction costs may exceed original estimates as a result of increased materials, labor or other costs.  In addition, because of current uncertainties in the residential and commercial real estate markets, property values have become more difficult to determine than they have been historically.  Repayment of construction loans often depends on the ability of the borrower to sell or lease the property.  These loans also require ongoing monitoring.

 

Our level of non-performing loans increased to $3.1 million, or 1.92% of total loans at December 31, 2011 from $253,000, or 0.14% of total loans at December 31, 2010, primarily due to three construction loans with aggregate principal balances of $2.4 million and three residential mortgage loans with aggregate principal balances of $696,000 categorized as non-performing at December 31, 2011.  Such continued increases could result in charge-offs or provisions for loan losses that are higher than our historical levels.  See “—If our allowance for loan losses is not sufficient to cover actual loan losses, our earnings could decrease.”

 

A significant portion of our loan portfolio consists of recently originated loans.

 

Our commercial loan portfolio (including commercial and multi-family real estate loans, residential investment property loans, and business loans and construction loans) has grown to $82.6 million at December 31, 2011 from $24.0 million at June 30, 2006.  It is difficult to predict how these recently originated loans will perform.  As a result, these loans may have delinquency or charge-off levels above our historical experience, which could adversely affect our future performance.

 

Our business may be adversely affected by continued weak conditions in the financial markets and economic conditions generally and locally.

 

Recent economic conditions have resulted in continued uncertainty in the financial markets and continued expectations of weak general economic conditions.  The resulting economic pressure on consumers and businesses has adversely affected our business, financial condition and results of operations.  The credit quality of loan and investment securities portfolios has deteriorated at many financial institutions and the values of real estate collateral securing many commercial loans and home mortgages have declined and may continue to decline.  Financial companies’ stock prices have been negatively affected, as has the ability of banks and bank holding companies to raise capital or borrow in the debt markets.  A continuation or worsening of these conditions could result in reduced loan demand and further increases in loan delinquencies, loan losses, loan loss provisions, costs associated with monitoring delinquent loans and disposing of foreclosed property, and otherwise negatively affect our operations, financial condition and earnings.  Further, a decline in the stock market in general, or for stocks of financial institutions and their holding companies, could affect our stock performance.

 

Our local economy may affect our future growth possibilities and operations in our primary market area.  Our future growth opportunities depend on the growth and stability of our regional economy and our ability to expand the market area we serve.  In addition, nearly all of our loans are to customers in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, and particularly Essex County.  A continued downturn in our local economy may limit funds

 

17



 

available for deposit and may negatively affect our borrowers’ ability to repay their loans on a timely basis, both of which could have an impact on our profitability.  Also, a decline in real estate valuations in this market would lower the value of the collateral securing our loans.

 

Income from secondary mortgage market operations is volatile, and we may incur losses or charges with respect to our secondary mortgage market operations which would negatively affect our earnings.

 

We generally sell in the secondary market the longer term fixed-rate residential mortgage loans that we originate, earning non-interest income in the form of gains on sale. When interest rates rise, the demand for mortgage loans tends to fall and may reduce the number of loans available for sale. In addition to interest rate levels, weak or deteriorating economic conditions also tend to reduce loan demand. Although we sell loans in the secondary market without recourse, we are required to give customary representations and warranties to the buyers. If we breach those representations and warranties, the buyers can require us to repurchase the loans and we may incur a loss on the repurchase. Because we generally retain the servicing rights on the loans we sell in the secondary market, we are required to record a mortgage servicing right asset, which we test quarterly for impairment. The value of mortgage servicing rights tends to increase with rising interest rates and to decrease with falling interest rates. If we are required to take an impairment charge on our mortgage servicing rights, that would adversely affect our earnings.

 

If our allowance for loan losses is not sufficient to cover actual loan losses, our earnings could decrease.

 

If our allowance for loan losses is not sufficient to cover actual loan losses, our earnings could decrease. Our loan customers may not repay their loans according to their terms and the collateral securing the payment of these loans may be insufficient to pay any remaining loan balance. We therefore may experience significant loan losses, which could have a material adverse effect on our operating results.  At December 31, 2011, our allowance for loan losses totaled $1.8 million, or 1.12% of total loans and 58.22% of non-performing loans at that date.

 

Material additions to our allowance for loan losses also would materially decrease our net income, and the charge-off of loans may cause us to increase the allowance. We make various assumptions and judgments about the collectibility of our loan portfolio, including the creditworthiness of our borrowers and the value of the real estate and other assets serving as collateral for the repayment of many of our loans. We rely on our experience and our evaluation of economic conditions, among other factors, in determining the amount of the allowance for loan losses. If our assumptions prove to be incorrect, our allowance for loan losses may not be sufficient to cover losses inherent in our loan portfolio, which would require additions to our allowance.

 

The Standard & Poor’s downgrade in the U.S. Government’s sovereign credit rating, and in the credit ratings of instruments issued, insured or guaranteed by certain related institutions, agencies and instrumentalities, could result in risks to us and general economic conditions that we are not able to predict.

 

On August 5, 2011, Standard & Poor’s downgraded the United States’ long-term debt rating from its AAA rating to AA+.   On August 8, 2011, Standard & Poor’s downgraded the credit ratings of certain long-term debt instruments issued by Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac and other U.S. government agencies linked to long-term U.S. debt.  Instruments of this nature are key assets on the balance sheets of financial institutions, including Georgetown Savings Bank.  These downgrades could adversely affect the market value of such instruments, and could adversely affect our ability to obtain funding that is collateralized by such instruments, as well as the pricing of that funding when it is available.  We cannot predict if, when or how these changes to the credit ratings will affect economic conditions.  However, these ratings downgrades could result in a significant adverse impact on us, and could exacerbate other risks to which we are subject, including those described in this prospectus.

 

Changes in interest rates could adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition.

 

Our profitability depends substantially on our net interest income, which is the difference between the interest income earned on our interest-earning assets and the interest expense paid on our interest-bearing liabilities. Increases in interest rates may decrease loan demand (which would also decrease our ability to generate non-interest

 

18



 

income through the sale of loans into the secondary market and related fees for continuing to service those sold loans) and make it more difficult for borrowers to repay adjustable-rate loans. In addition, as market interest rates rise, we will have competitive pressures to increase the rates we pay on deposits.  Because interest rates we pay on our deposits would be expected to increase more quickly than the increase in the yields we earn on our interest-earning assets, our net interest income would be adversely affected.

 

We also are subject to reinvestment risk associated with changes in interest rates. Changes in interest rates may affect the average life of loans and mortgage-related securities. Decreases in interest rates can result in increased prepayments of loans and mortgage-related securities, as borrowers refinance to reduce borrowing costs. Under these circumstances, we are subject to reinvestment risk to the extent that we are unable to reinvest the cash received from such prepayments at rates that are comparable to the interest rates on existing loans and securities.

 

We operate in a highly regulated environment, and changes in laws and regulations to which we are subject may adversely affect our results of operations.

 

Georgetown Savings Bank is subject to extensive regulation, supervision and examination by the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, as its chartering authority, and by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation as the insurer of its deposits up to certain limits. In addition, the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System will regulate and oversee Georgetown Bancorp, Inc. We also belong to the Federal Home Loan Bank System and, as a member of such system, we are subject to certain limited regulations promulgated by the Federal Home Loan Bank of Boston.  This regulation and supervision limits the activities in which we may engage and is intended primarily to protect our depositors and borrowers and, in the case of Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation regulation, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation’s insurance fund.  Regulatory authorities have extensive discretion in the exercise of their supervisory and enforcement powers. They may, among other things, impose restrictions on the operation of a banking institution, the classification of assets by an institution and an institution’s allowance for loan losses.  Regulatory and law enforcement authorities also have wide discretion and extensive enforcement powers under various consumer protection and civil rights laws, including the Truth-in-Lending Act, the Equal Credit Opportunity Act, the Fair Housing Act, and the Real Estate Settlement Procedures Act.  Any change in the laws or regulations applicable to us, or in banking regulators’ supervisory policies or examination procedures, whether by the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, other state or federal regulators, or the U.S. Congress could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

 

Government responses to economic conditions may adversely affect our operations, financial condition and earnings.

 

The Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (the “Dodd-Frank Act”) has changed the bank regulatory framework.  For example, it has created an independent Consumer Financial Protection Bureau that has assumed the consumer protection responsibilities of the various federal banking agencies, established more stringent capital standards for banks and bank holding companies and given the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System exclusive authority to regulate savings and loan holding companies.  The legislation has also resulted in new regulations affecting the lending, funding, trading and investment activities of banks and bank holding companies.   The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau has broad rule-making authority for a wide range of consumer protection laws that apply to all banks and savings institutions such as Georgetown Savings Bank, including the authority to prohibit “unfair, deceptive or abusive” acts and practices.  Banks and savings institutions with $10.0 billion or less in assets will continue to be examined by their applicable bank regulators.  The new legislation also weakens the federal preemption available for national banks and federal savings associations, and gives state attorneys general the ability to enforce applicable federal consumer protection laws.  The Dodd-Frank Act also requires the federal banking agencies to promulgate rules requiring mortgage lenders to retain a portion of the credit risk related to sold loans.  We expect that such rules would make it more difficult for us to sell loans into the secondary market.  Bank regulatory agencies also have been responding aggressively to concerns and adverse trends identified in examinations.  Ongoing uncertainty and adverse developments in the financial services industry and in the domestic and international credit markets, and the effect of new legislation and regulatory actions in response to these conditions, may adversely affect our operations by restricting our business activities, including our

 

19



 

ability to originate or sell loans, modify loan terms, or foreclose on property securing loans.  These measures are likely to increase our costs of doing business and increase our costs related to regulatory compliance, and may have a significant adverse effect on our lending activities, financial performance and operating flexibility.  In addition, these risks could affect the performance and value of our loan and investment securities portfolios, which also would negatively affect our financial performance.

 

Furthermore, the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, in an attempt to help the overall economy, has, among other things, kept interest rates low through its targeted federal funds rate and the purchase of mortgage-backed securities.  If the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System increases the federal funds rate, market interest rates would likely rise, which may negatively affect the housing markets and the U.S. economic recovery.  In addition, deflationary pressures, while possibly lowering our operating costs, could have a significant negative effect on our borrowers, especially our business borrowers, and the values of underlying collateral securing loans, which could negatively affect our financial performance.

 

Strong competition within our market area may limit our growth and profitability.

 

Competition in the banking and financial services industry within our market area is intense.  In our market area we compete with commercial banks, savings institutions, mortgage brokerage firms, credit unions, finance companies, mutual funds, insurance companies, and brokerage and investment banking firms operating locally and elsewhere.  Many of these competitors have substantially greater resources and lending limits than we have and offer certain services that we do not or cannot provide.  Our profitability depends upon our continued ability to successfully compete in our market area.  The greater resources and broader range of deposit and loan products offered by our competition may limit our ability to increase our interest-earning assets and profitability.  We expect competition to remain intense in the future as a result of legislative, regulatory and technological changes and the continuing trend of consolidation in the financial services industry. Technological advances, for example, have lowered barriers to entry, allowed banks to expand their geographic reach by providing services over the Internet and made it possible for non-depository institutions to offer products and services that traditionally have been provided by banks. Competition for deposits and the origination of loans could limit our ability to successfully implement our business plan, and could adversely affect our results of operations in the future.

 

If our investment in the Federal Home Loan Bank of Boston is classified as other-than-temporarily impaired, our earnings and/or shareholders’ equity could decrease and our liquidity position could be negatively impacted.

 

We own common stock of the Federal Home Loan Bank of Boston. We are required to hold this stock in order to qualify for membership in the Federal Home Loan Bank System and to be eligible to borrow funds under the Federal Home Loan Bank of Boston’s advance program. The aggregate cost of our Federal Home Loan Bank of Boston common stock as of December 31, 2011 was $3.1 million based on its par value. There is no market for our Federal Home Loan Bank of Boston common stock.

 

Published reports indicate that several banks in the Federal Home Loan Bank System may be subject to asset quality and other risks that could adversely affect their regulatory capital levels. In an extreme situation, it is possible that the capital of the Federal Home Loan Bank of Boston could be substantially diminished or reduced to zero. Consequently, we believe that there may be a risk that our investment in Federal Home Loan Bank of Boston common stock could be deemed other-than-temporarily impaired at some time in the future and if this occurs, it would cause our earnings and shareholders’ equity to decrease by the after-tax amount of the impairment charge.  Furthermore, a reduction in the Federal Home Loan Bank of Boston’s capital would have a significant adverse impact on our liquidity as we have relied on borrowings from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Boston to fund a portion of our operations and as a source of liquidity.

 

We rely on our management team for the successful implementation of our business strategy.

 

We depend on our executive officers and key personnel to continue the implementation of our long-term business strategy. We believe that our continued growth and future success will depend in large part upon the skills

 

20



 

of our management team. The competition for qualified personnel in the financial services industry is intense, and the loss of our key personnel or an inability to continue to attract, retain and motivate key personnel could adversely affect our business. We cannot assure you that we will be able to retain our existing key personnel or attract additional qualified personnel. Although we have employment agreements with our President and Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, the loss of the services of one or more of our executive officers and key personnel could impair our ability to continue to develop our business strategy.

 

Risks associated with system failures, interruptions, or breaches of security could negatively affect our earnings.

 

Information technology systems are critical to our business. We use various technology systems to manage our customer relationships, general ledger, securities, deposits, and loans. We have established policies and procedures to prevent or limit the impact of system failures, interruptions, and security breaches, but such events may still occur and may not be adequately addressed if they do occur. In addition any compromise of our systems could deter customers from using our products and services. Although we rely on security systems to provide security and authentication necessary to effect the secure transmission of data, these precautions may not protect our systems from compromises or breaches of security.

 

In addition, we outsource a majority of our data processing to certain third-party providers. If these third-party providers encounter difficulties, or if we have difficulty communicating with them, our ability to adequately process and account for transactions could be affected, and our business operations could be adversely affected. Threats to information security also exist in the processing of customer information through various other vendors and their personnel.

 

The occurrence of any system failures, interruption, or breach of security could damage our reputation and result in a loss of customers and business thereby subjecting us to additional regulatory scrutiny.  It could also expose us to litigation and possible financial liability. Any of these events could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.

 

Risks Related to the Offering

 

The future price of the shares of common stock may be less than the $10.00 purchase price per share in the offering.

 

If you purchase shares of common stock in the offering, you may not be able to sell them later at or above the $10.00 purchase price in the offering.  In several cases, shares of common stock issued by newly converted savings institutions or mutual holding companies have traded below the initial offering price.  The aggregate purchase price of the shares of common stock sold in the offering will be based on an independent appraisal. The independent appraisal is not intended, and should not be construed, as a recommendation of any kind as to the advisability of purchasing shares of common stock. The independent appraisal is based on certain estimates, assumptions and projections, all of which are subject to change from time to time.  After the shares begin trading, the trading price of our common stock will be determined by the marketplace, and may be influenced by many factors, including prevailing interest rates, the overall performance of the economy, investor perceptions of New Georgetown, market volatility and the outlook for the financial services industry in general.  Price fluctuations may be unrelated to the operating performance of particular companies.

 

Our failure to effectively deploy the net proceeds may have an adverse effect on our financial performance and the value of our common stock.

 

We intend to invest between $3.7 million and $5.2 million of the net proceeds of the offering (or $6.1 million at the adjusted maximum of the offering range) in Georgetown Savings Bank.  We may use the remaining net proceeds to invest in short-term investments, repurchase shares of common stock, pay dividends or for other general corporate purposes.  We also expect to use a portion of the net proceeds we retain to fund a loan for the purchase of shares of common stock in the offering by the employee stock ownership plan.  Georgetown Savings

 

21



 

Bank may use the net proceeds it receives to fund new loans, expand its retail banking franchise by acquiring new branches or by acquiring other financial institutions or other financial services companies, or for other general corporate purposes.  However, with the exception of the loan to the employee stock ownership plan, we have not allocated specific amounts of the net proceeds for any of these purposes, and we will have significant flexibility in determining the amount of the net proceeds we apply to different uses and the timing of such applications. Also, certain of these uses, such as opening new branches or acquiring other financial institutions, may require the approval of the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency and/or the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System.  We have not established a timetable for reinvesting the net proceeds, and we cannot predict how long it will take to reinvest the net proceeds.

 

Our return on equity is expected to be low following the stock offering.  This could negatively affect the trading price of our shares of common stock.

 

Net income divided by average equity, known as “return on equity,” is a ratio many investors use to compare the performance of a financial institution to its peers.  Following the stock offering, we expect our consolidated equity to be between $26.8 million at the minimum of the offering range and $30.9 million at the adjusted maximum of the offering range.  Based upon our net income for the year ended December 31, 2011, and these pro forma equity levels, our return on equity would be 3.8% and 3.3% at the minimum and adjusted maximum of the offering range, respectively.  We expect our return on equity to remain low until we are able to leverage the additional capital we receive from the stock offering.  Although we will be able to increase net interest income using proceeds of the stock offering, our return on equity will be negatively affected by added expenses associated with our employee stock ownership plan and the stock-based benefit plan we intend to adopt.  Until we can increase our net interest income and non-interest income and leverage the capital raised in the stock offering, we expect our return on equity to remain low, which may reduce the market price of our shares of common stock.

 

Our stock-based benefit plans would increase our expenses and reduce our income.

 

We intend to adopt one or more new stock-based benefit plans after the conversion, subject to shareholder approval, which would increase our annual compensation and benefit expenses related to the stock options and shares granted to participants under our stock-based benefit plan.  The actual amount of these new stock-related compensation and benefit expenses will depend on the number of options and stock awards actually granted under the plan, the fair market value of our stock or options on the date of grant, the vesting period and other factors which we cannot predict at this time.  In the event we adopt the plan within 12 months following the conversion, under current Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System policy the total shares of common stock reserved for issuance pursuant to awards of restricted stock and grants of options under our existing and proposed stock-based benefit plans would be limited to 4% and 10%, respectively, of the total shares of our common stock outstanding.  If we award restricted shares of common stock or grant options in excess of these amounts under stock-based benefit plans adopted more than 12 months after the completion of the conversion, the stock-based benefit plans would not be subject to such restrictions and our costs could increase further.

 

In addition, we will recognize expense for our employee stock ownership plan when shares are committed to be released to participants’ accounts, and we will recognize expense for restricted stock awards and stock options over the vesting period of awards made to recipients.  We estimate the expense in the first year following the offering for shares purchased by our employee stock ownership plan in the offering to be approximately $71,000 ($42,000 after tax) at the adjusted maximum of the offering range as set forth in the pro forma financial information under “Pro Forma Data,” assuming the $10.00 per share purchase price as fair market value. Actual expenses, however, may be higher or lower, depending on the price of our common stock.  For further discussion of our proposed stock-based plans, see “Management—Benefits to be Considered Following Completion of the Conversion.”

 

22



 

The implementation of stock-based benefit plans may dilute your ownership interest.  Historically, shareholders have approved these stock-based benefit plans.

 

We intend to adopt one or more new stock-based benefit plans following the stock offering. These plans may be funded either through open market purchases or from the issuance of authorized but unissued shares of common stock.  Our ability to repurchase shares of common stock to fund these plans will be subject to many factors, including, but not limited to, applicable regulatory restrictions on stock repurchases, the availability of stock in the market, the trading price of the stock, our capital levels, alternative uses for our capital and our financial performance.  While our intention is to fund the new stock-based benefit plan through open market purchases, shareholders would experience a 7.35% reduction in ownership interest at the adjusted maximum of the offering range in the event newly issued shares of our common stock are used to fund stock options and shares of restricted common stock in an amount equal to up to 10% and 4%, respectively, of the shares sold in the offering.  In the event we adopt the plan more than 12 months following the conversion, the plan would not be subject to these limitations.

 

Although the implementation of the stock-based benefit plan will be subject to shareholder approval, historically, the overwhelming majority of stock-based benefit plans adopted by savings institutions and their holding companies following mutual-to-stock conversions have been approved by shareholders.

 

We have not determined when we will adopt one or more new stock-based benefit plans.  Stock-based benefit plans adopted more than 12 months following the completion of the conversion may exceed regulatory restrictions on the size of stock-based benefit plans adopted within 12 months, which would further increase our costs.

 

If we adopt stock-based benefit plans more than 12 months following the completion of the conversion, then grants of shares of common stock or stock options under our existing and proposed stock-based benefit plans may exceed 4% and 10%, respectively, of our total outstanding shares.  Stock-based benefit plans that provide for awards in excess of these amounts would increase our costs beyond the amounts estimated in “Pro Forma Data.”  Stock-based benefit plans that provide for awards in excess of these amounts could also result in dilution to shareholders in excess of that described in “—The implementation of stock-based benefit plans may dilute your ownership interest.  Historically, shareholders have approved these stock-based benefit plans.”  Although the implementation of stock-based benefit plans would be subject to shareholder approval, the determination as to the timing of the implementation of such plans will be at the discretion of our board of directors.

 

Various factors may make takeover attempts more difficult to achieve.

 

Our board of directors has no current intention to sell control of New Georgetown. Provisions of our articles of incorporation and bylaws, federal regulations, Georgetown Savings Bank’s federal stock charter, Maryland law, shares of restricted stock and stock options that we have granted or may grant to employees and directors, stock ownership by our management and directors and employment agreements that we have entered into with our executive officers, and various other factors may make it more difficult for companies or persons to acquire control of New Georgetown without the consent of our board of directors.  You may want a takeover attempt to succeed because, for example, a potential acquiror could offer a premium over the then prevailing price of our common stock.  For additional information, see “Restrictions on Acquisition of New Georgetown,” “Management—Employment Agreements” and “—Benefits to be Considered Following Completion of the Conversion.”

 

An active trading market for our common stock may not develop.

 

Georgetown-Federal’s common stock is currently quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board.  Upon completion of the conversion, the common stock of New Georgetown will replace the existing shares, and we expect the common stock will be traded on the Nasdaq Capital Market.  An active public trading market for New Georgetown’s common stock may not develop or be sustained after this stock offering.  If an active trading market for our common stock does not develop, you may not be able to sell all of your shares of common stock on short notice, and the sale of a large number of shares at one time could depress the market price.

The distribution of subscription rights could have adverse income tax consequences.

 

If the subscription rights granted to certain depositors of Georgetown Savings Bank are deemed to have an ascertainable value, receipt of such rights may be taxable in an amount equal to such value.  Whether subscription rights are considered to have ascertainable value is an inherently factual determination.  We have received an opinion of counsel, Luse Gorman Pomerenk & Schick, P.C., that it is more likely than not that such rights have no value; however, such opinion is not binding on the Internal Revenue Service.

Comparison of Financial Condition at March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011

 

Total assets increased $6.4 million, or 3.2%, to $205.8 million at March 31, 2012 from $199.4 million at December 31, 2011.  The increase resulted from increases in cash and cash equivalents and securities, partially offset by a decrease in loans.

 

Cash and cash equivalents increased $8.0 million, or 42.2%, to $27.1 million at March 31, 2012 from $19.1 million at December 31, 2011.  The increase in cash and cash equivalents resulted primarily from loan repayments and prepayments during the three months ended March 31, 2012, as well as an increase in deposits, and, specifically, increases in NOW accounts and money market deposit accounts.

 

Our total securities portfolio increased $3.6 million, or 56.1%, to $10.1 million at March 31, 2012 from $6.5 million at December 31, 2011.  We used excess cash for securities purchases during the quarter ended March 31, 2012.

 

Loans (excluding loans held for sale) decreased $5.3 million, or 3.3%, to $157.5 million at March 31, 2012 from $162.8 million at December 31, 2011, due primarily to decreases in construction and commercial loans.  Total commercial loans decreased $2.1 million, or 3.5%, to $57.3 million at March 31, 2012 from $59.4 million at December 31, 2011.  Although we continue to emphasize the origination of commercial loans, despite the current competitive market, we have determined to maintain our historical underwriting standards instead of relaxing these standards and we have not reduced interest rates on loans we originate below levels at which we could operate profitably.  Construction loans decreased $3.1 million, or 13.5%, to $20.1 million at March 31, 2012 from $23.2 million at December 31, 2011, as residential housing units continued to be sold.  The significant majority of our construction loans remains collateralized by residential real estate (96.9% at March 31, 2012 and 97.3% at December 31, 2011).

 

28



 

Deposits increased $4.1 million, or 2.7%, to $155.2 million at March 31, 2012 from $151.1 million at December 31, 2011.  Our continued focus on generating lower-cost “core” deposits (which we define as non-certificate of deposit accounts) resulted in such core deposits increasing $4.2 million, or 4.0%, to $109.8 million at March 31, 2012 from $105.6 million at December 31, 2011, with such deposits representing 70.8% of our deposit portfolio at March 31, 2012 and 69.9% of our deposit portfolio at December 31, 2011.

 

Total borrowings were $25.5 million at March 31, 2012 and $25.7 million at December 31, 2011.

 

Stockholders’ equity increased $174,000 to $20.5 million at March 31, 2012 from $20.3 million at December 31, 2011.  The increase resulted primarily from net income of $153,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2012.

 

Comparison of Operating Results for the Three Months Ended March 31, 2012 and 2011

 

General. Net income decreased $179,000, or 53.9%, to $153,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2012 from $332,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2011.  The decrease was due primarily to a decrease in net interest income, which was partially offset by an increase in non-interest income.

 

Interest and Dividend Income. Interest and dividend income decreased $476,000, or 17.0%, to $2.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2012 from $2.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2011.  We experienced decreases in interest and dividend income from both loans and securities.  Interest income on loans decreased $447,000, or 16.6%, to $2.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2012 from $2.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2011, due to a $22.5 million, or 12.3%, decrease in the average balance of loans as well as a 28 basis point decrease in yield to 5.62% for the three months ended March 31, 2012 from 5.90% for the three months ended March 31, 2011.   We experienced decreases in loans through 2011 which, as noted above, continued through the quarter ended March 31, 2012, and the new loans we have been originating have been at lower interest rates due to continued low market interest rates.

 

Interest and dividend income on investment securities decreased $36,000, or 36.4%, to $63,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2012 from $99,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2011, due to decreases in both the yields earned on investment securities as well as the average balance of investment securities.  As noted above, we have begun to increase our securities portfolio, which we allowed to decrease during the past several quarters, as maturities were used to fund loan demand.

 

Interest Expense. Interest expense decreased $168,000, or 25.1%, to $502,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2012 from $670,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2011.  We experienced decreases in interest expense on both deposits and borrowings (primarily long-term Federal Home Loan Bank advances).  Interest expense on deposits decreased $134,000, or 32.1%, to $283,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2012 from $417,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2011, due to a decrease in rates we paid on interest-bearing deposits.  The average rate we paid on interest-bearing deposits decreased to 0.83% for the three months ended March 31, 2012 compared to 1.24% for the three months ended March 31, 2011.  We have been able to increase our lower cost “core” deposits, as described above, while also reducing rates in the current low interest rate environment.

 

Interest expense on Federal Home Loan Bank advances decreased $34,000, or 13.5%, to $218,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2012 from $252,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2011.  The decrease was due to a decrease in the average balance, which decreased $9.2 million, or 26.8%, to $25.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2012 from $34.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2011.  We have been able to reduce our reliance on borrowings, as we have had excess cash to fund our operations.

 

Net Interest Income. Net interest income decreased $308,000, or 14.5%, to $1.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2012 compared to $2.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2011.  Our net interest margin decreased 55 basis points, to 3.79% for the three months ended March 31, 2012 compared to 4.34% for the three months ended March 31, 2011, as the yield we earned on interest-earning assets decreased 86 basis points to 4.84% for the three months ended March 31, 2012 compared to 5.70% for the three months ended March 31, 2011, while the rate we paid on interest-bearing liabilities decreased 34 basis points to 1.24% for the three

months ended March 31, 2012 compared to 1.58% for the three months ended March 31, 2011.  Our net interest margin may continue to compress in the future due to current competitive pricing in our market area.

 

Provision for Loan Losses. We establish provisions for loan losses, which are charged to operations, at a level necessary to absorb known and inherent losses that are both probable and reasonably estimable at the date of the financial statements.  In evaluating the level of the allowance for loan losses quarterly, management analyzes several qualitative loan portfolio risk factors including but not limited to, charge-off history over a relevant period, changes in management or underwriting policies, current economic conditions, delinquency statistics, geographic and industry concentrations, the adequacy of the underlying collateral, the financial strength of the borrower and results of internal and external loan reviews.  This evaluation is inherently subjective, as it requires estimates that are susceptible to significant revision as more information becomes available.  After an evaluation of these factors, we recorded a $64,000 provision for loan losses for each of the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011.  The provisions recorded resulted in an allowance for loan losses of $1.7 million, or 1.08% of total loans and 83.65% of non-performing loans at March 31, 2012 compared to an allowance for loan losses of $1.8 million, or 1.12% of total loans and 58.22% of non-performing loans at December 31, 2011, and an allowance for loan losses of $1.7 million, or 0.94% of total loans and 231.98% of non-performing loans at March 31, 2011.  We experienced $192,000 of charge-offs during the quarter ended March 31, 2012.  In addition, non-performing loans decreased to $2.0 million at March 31, 2012 from $3.1 million at December 31, 2011.

 

Historically, our loan portfolio has primarily consisted of one- to four-family residential mortgage loans. The composition of our loan portfolio has gradually changed in recent years to include more multi-family, commercial real estate, investment property and commercial business loans.  In addition, we intend to emphasize increased originations of these loans.  Management’s evaluation of the allowance for loan losses, the composition of the loan portfolio and increased risk associated with multi-family, commercial real estate and commercial business loans (because they present larger non-homogeneous credits and because they may be more sensitive to changes in economic conditions) may result in continued larger additions to the allowance for loan losses in future periods.

 

To the best of our knowledge, we have recorded all losses that are both probable and reasonable to estimate at March 31, 2012, December 31, 2011 and March 31, 2011.  However, future changes in the factors described above, including, but not limited to, actual loss experience with respect to our loan portfolio, could result in material increases in our provisions for loan losses.  In addition, the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, as an integral part of its examination process, will periodically review our allowance for loan losses.  Such agency may require us to recognize adjustments to the allowance, based on its judgments about information available to it at the time of its examination.

Non-interest income increased $57,000, or 25.2%, to $283,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2012 from $226,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2011.  Mortgage banking income increased $58,000, or 86.6%, to $125,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2012 from $67,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2011.  We sold $8.4 million of loans during the three months ended March 31, 2012 compared to $2.7 million of such sales for the three months ended March 31, 2011.

 

Non-interest Expense. Non-interest expense increased $46,000, or 2.6%, totaling $1.8 million for each of the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011.  There were no material changes in any categories of non-interest expense between the periods.

 

Income Tax Expense. Income tax expense was $80,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2012 compared to $198,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2011, reflecting a decrease in pre-tax income.  The effective income tax rate was 34.3% for the three months ended March 31, 2012 compared to 37.4% for the three months ended March 31, 2011. The decrease in the effective rate for the three months ended March 31, 2012, compared to the effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2011 was primarily due to income from bank-owned life insurance, which is non-taxable income, being a larger percentage of total income during the quarter ended March 31, 2012.

HOW WE INTEND TO USE THE PROCEEDS FROM THE OFFERING

 

Although we cannot determine what the actual net proceeds from the sale of the shares of common stock in the offering will be until the offering is completed, we anticipate that the net proceeds will be between $7.5 million and $10.4 million, or $12.1 million if the offering range is increased by 15%.

 

We intend to distribute the net proceeds as follows:

(1)          As adjusted to give effect to an increase in the number of shares, which could occur due to a 15% increase in the offering range to reflect demand for the shares or changes in market conditions following the commencement of the offering.

(2)          In the event the stock-based benefit plan providing for stock awards and stock options is approved by shareholders, and assuming shares are purchased for the stock awards at $10.00 per share, an additional $340,000, $400,000, $460,000 and $529,000 respectively, at the minimum, midpoint, maximum and adjusted maximum of the offering range, of net proceeds will be used by New Georgetown.  In this case, the net proceeds retained by New Georgetown would be $2.7 million, $3.3 million, $3.8 million and $4.5 million, respectively, at the minimum, midpoint, maximum and adjusted maximum of the offering range.

 

Payments for shares of common stock made through withdrawals from existing deposit accounts will not result in the receipt of new funds for investment but will result in a reduction of Georgetown Savings Bank’s deposits.  The net proceeds may vary because total expenses relating to the offering may be more or less than our estimates.  For example, our expenses would increase if a syndicated community offering were used to sell more shares of common stock not purchased in the subscription and community offerings than we currently estimate.

 

New Georgetown may use the proceeds it retains from the offering:

 

·                                          to pay cash dividends to shareholders;

 

·                                          to invest in securities;

 

·                                          to repurchase shares of our common stock; and

 

·                                          for other general corporate purposes.

 

Initially, a substantial portion of the net proceeds retained by New Georgetown will be invested in short-term investments, investment-grade debt obligations and mortgage-backed securities.

 

See “Our Dividend Policy” for a discussion of our expected dividend policy following the completion of the conversion.  Under current Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System regulations, we may not

 

32



 

repurchase shares of our common stock during the first year following the completion of the conversion, except when extraordinary circumstances exist and with prior regulatory approval, or except to fund management recognition plans (which would require notification to the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System) or tax qualified employee stock benefit plans.  In addition, New Georgetown will be subject to notice provisions for stock repurchases of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System.  See “Supervision and Regulation—Holding Company Regulation.”

 

Georgetown Savings Bank may use the net proceeds it receives from the offering:

 

·                                          to fund new loans, with a primary emphasis on commercial and multi-family real estate lending, one- to four-family investment property lending and commercial business lending;

 

·                                          to enhance existing products and services, to support the development of new products and services and to support technological growth;

 

·                                          to invest in mortgage-backed securities and collateralized mortgage obligations, and debt securities issued by the U.S. Government, U.S. Government agencies, U.S. Government sponsored enterprises or municipalities;

 

·                                          to expand its retail banking franchise by establishing or acquiring new branches or other offices as opportunities arise, although we do not currently have any understandings or agreements to establish any new branch or other offices; and

 

·                                          for other general corporate purposes.

 

Initially, a substantial portion of the net proceeds received by Georgetown Savings Bank will be invested in short-term investments, investment-grade debt obligations and mortgage-backed securities.  We have not determined specific amounts of the net proceeds that would be used for the purposes described above.  The use of the proceeds outlined above may change based on many factors, including, but not limited to, changes in interest rates, equity markets, laws and regulations affecting the financial services industry, our relative position in the financial services industry, the attractiveness of potential acquisitions to expand our operations, overall market conditions and the ability to receive any required regulatory approvals.

 

OUR DIVIDEND POLICY

 

Our Board of Directors intends to declare a cash dividend on our shares of common stock after the first full fiscal quarter following the completion of the stock offering.  However, no decision has been made with respect to the amount of dividends to be paid.  In determining whether to pay a cash dividend and the amount of such cash dividend, the Board of Directors is expected to take into account a number of factors, including capital requirements, our consolidated financial condition and results of operations, tax considerations, statutory and regulatory limitations and general economic conditions.  No assurances can be given that any dividends will be paid or that, if paid, will not be reduced or eliminated in the future.  Special cash dividends, stock dividends or returns of capital, to the extent permitted by Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System or Office of the Comptroller of the Currency policy and regulations, may be paid in addition to, or in lieu of, regular cash dividends.

 

After the completion of the conversion, Georgetown Savings Bank will not be permitted to pay dividends on its capital stock to New Georgetown, its sole shareholder, if Georgetown Savings Bank’s shareholder’s equity would be reduced below the amount of the liquidation account established in connection with the conversion.  Georgetown Savings Bank will be required to file a notice with the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System and the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency prior to making a capital distribution.  In addition, any payment of dividends by Georgetown Savings Bank to us that would be deemed to be drawn out of Georgetown Savings Bank’s bad debt reserves, if any, would require a payment of taxes at the then-current tax rate by Georgetown Savings Bank on the amount of earnings deemed to be removed from the reserves for such distribution.

 

33



 

Georgetown Savings Bank does not intend to make any distribution to us that would create such a federal tax liability.  See “The Conversion and Offering—Liquidation Rights.” For further information concerning additional federal law and regulations regarding the ability of Georgetown Savings Bank to make capital distributions, including the payment of dividends to Georgetown-Federal, see “Taxation—Federal Taxation” and “Supervision and Regulation—Federal Banking Regulation.”

 

New Georgetown will not be permitted to pay dividends on its common stock if its shareholders’ equity would be reduced below the amount of the liquidation account established by New Georgetown in connection with the conversion.  In addition, the source of dividends will depend on the net proceeds retained by New Georgetown and earnings thereon, and dividends from Georgetown Savings Bank.  In addition, New Georgetown will be subject to state law limitations and federal banking regulatory policy on the payment of dividends. Maryland law generally limits dividends to our capital surplus or, if there is no capital surplus, our net profits for the fiscal year in which the dividend is declared and/or the preceding fiscal year.  For further information, see “Supervision and Regulation—Holding Company Regulation.”

 

We will file a consolidated federal tax return with Georgetown Savings Bank.  Accordingly, it is anticipated that any cash distributions made by us to our shareholders would be treated as cash dividends and not as a non-taxable return of capital for federal tax purposes.  Additionally, pursuant to Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System regulations, during the three-year period following the conversion, we will not take any action to declare an extraordinary dividend to shareholders that would be treated by recipients as a tax-free return of capital for federal income tax purposes.

 

MARKET FOR THE COMMON STOCK

 

Georgetown-Federal’s publicly held shares of common stock are currently quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board under the symbol “GTWN.”  Upon completion of the conversion, the shares of common stock of New Georgetown will replace the existing shares.  We expect the shares of New Georgetown common stock to be traded on the Nasdaq Capital Market.  We have determined to list the shares of New Georgetown common stock for trading on the Nasdaq Capital Market as we believe this will enhance our ability to complete the stock offering and provide market stability for our shares following the completion of the stock offering, as many institutional investors are not permitted to purchase shares of stock of entities whose shares are traded on the OTC Bulletin Board.

 

For a period of 20 trading days after the completion of the conversion and offering, the shares of New Georgetown common stock will trade under the symbol “GTWND.” Thereafter, the trading symbol will revert to “GTWN.”  In order to list our stock on the Nasdaq Capital Market, we are required to have at least three broker-dealers who will make a market in our common stock, and we believe we will be able to comply with this requirement.  Keefe, Bruyette & Woods, Inc. has advised us that it intends to make a market in our common stock following the offering, but it is under no obligation to do so.

 

The development of a public market having the desirable characteristics of depth, liquidity and orderliness depends on the existence of willing buyers and sellers, the presence of which is not within our control or that of any market maker.  The number of active buyers and sellers of our common stock at any particular time may be limited, which may have an adverse effect on the price at which our common stock can be sold.  There can be no assurance that persons purchasing the common stock will be able to sell their shares at or above the $10.00 price per share in the offering.  Purchasers of our common stock should have a long-term investment intent and should recognize that there may be a limited trading market in our common stock.

 

The following table sets forth the high and low trading prices for shares of Georgetown-Federal common stock for the periods indicated, and the dividends declared during those periods.  As of the close of business on April 30, 2012, there were approximately 300 shareholders of record.

See “Beneficial Ownership of Common Stock.”

Pro forma capital levels assume that the employee stock ownership plan purchases 8% of the shares of common stock sold in the stock offering with funds we lend.

Georgetown-Federal currently has 1,000,000 authorized shares of preferred stock, par value $0.10 per share, and 10,000,000 authorized shares of common stock, par value $0.10 per share. On a pro forma basis, common stock and additional paid-in capital have been revised to reflect the number of shares of New Georgetown common stock to be outstanding.

(4)

No effect has been given to the issuance of additional shares of New Georgetown common stock pursuant to the exercise of options under one or more stock-based benefit plans. If the plans are implemented within the first year after the closing of the offering, an amount up to 10% of the shares of New Georgetown common stock sold in the offering will be reserved for issuance upon the exercise of options under the plans, subject to adjustment as may be required by federal regulations or policy to reflect stock options previously granted by Georgetown-Federal or Georgetown Savings Bank so that the total shares available for issuance upon the exercise of stock options does not exceed 10% of New Georgetown’s outstanding shares immediately after the conversion and offering. No effect has been given to the exercise of options currently outstanding. See “Management.”

(5)

The retained earnings of Georgetown Savings Bank will be substantially restricted after the conversion. See “The Conversion and Offering—Liquidation Rights” and “Supervision and Regulation.”

Assumes that 8% of the shares sold in the offering will be acquired by the employee stock ownership plan financed by a loan from New Georgetown. The loan will be repaid principally from Georgetown Savings Bank’s contributions to the employee stock ownership plan. Since New Georgetown will finance the employee stock ownership plan debt, this debt will be eliminated through consolidation and no liability will be reflected on New Georgetown’s consolidated financial statements. Accordingly, the amount of shares of common stock acquired by the employee stock ownership plan is shown in this table as a reduction of total shareholders’ equity.

(7)

Assumes a number of shares of common stock equal to 4% of the shares of common stock to be sold in the offering will be purchased for grant by one or more stock-based benefit plans. If the stock-based benefit plans are adopted within 12 months following the conversion, the amount reserved for restricted stock awards would be subject to adjustment as may be required by federal regulations or policy to reflect restricted stock previously granted by Georgetown-Federal so that the total shares reserved for restricted stock awards does not exceed 4% of New Georgetown’s outstanding shares immediately after the conversion and offering. The funds to be used by the plan to purchase the shares will be provided by New Georgetown. The dollar amount of common stock to be purchased is based on the $10.00 per share subscription price in the offering and represents unearned compensation. This amount does not reflect possible increases or decreases in the value of common stock relative to the subscription price in the offering. As New Georgetown accrues compensation expense to reflect the vesting of shares pursuant to the plan, the credit to capital will be offset by a charge to operations.

PRO FORMA DATA

 

The following table summarizes historical data of Georgetown-Federal and pro forma data at and for the year ended December 31, 2011.  This information is based on assumptions set forth below and in the table, and should not be used as a basis for projections of market value of the shares of common stock following the conversion and offering.

 

The net proceeds are based upon the following assumptions:

 

(i)                                   75% of all shares of common stock will be sold in the subscription and community offerings and 25% of all shares of common stock will be sold in the syndicated and community offering;

 

(ii)                               our executive officers, directors and employees, and their associates, will purchase 29,950 shares of common stock;

 

(iii)                            our employee stock ownership plan will purchase 8% of the shares of common stock sold in the offering, with a loan from New Georgetown.  The loan will be repaid in substantially equal payments of principal and interest (at the prime rate of interest, calculated as of the date of the origination of the loan) over a period of 15 years.  Interest income that we earn on the loan will offset the interest paid by Georgetown Savings Bank;

 

(iv)                             Keefe, Bruyette & Woods, Inc. will receive a fee equal to 1.0% of the dollar amount of shares of common stock sold in the subscription offering and community offering and 6.0% of the dollar amount of shares sold in the syndicated community offering, as well as other fees and expenses payable to Keefe, Bruyette & Woods, Inc. of $115,000.  No fee will be paid with respect to shares of common stock purchased by our qualified and non-qualified employee stock benefit plans, or stock purchased by our officers, directors and employees, and their immediate families, and no fee will be paid with respect to exchange shares; and

 

(v)                                 total expenses of the offering, other than the fees to be paid to Keefe, Bruyette & Woods, Inc., and other broker-dealers in the syndicated community offering, will be $853,300.

 

We calculated pro forma consolidated net income for the year ended December 31, 2011 as if the estimated net proceeds we received had been invested at the beginning of the period at an assumed interest rate of 0.83% (0.50% on an after-tax basis).  This represents the yield on the five-year U.S. Treasury Note as of December 31, 2011, which, in light of current market interest rates, we consider to more accurately reflect the pro forma reinvestment rate than the arithmetic average of the weighted average yield earned on our interest earning assets and the weighted average rate paid on our deposits, which is the reinvestment rate generally required by federal regulations.

 

We further believe that the reinvestment rate is factually supportable because:

 

·                                         the yield on the U.S Treasury Note can be determined and/or estimated from third-party sources; and

 

·                                         we believe that U.S. Treasury securities are not subject to credit losses due to a U.S. Government guarantee of payment of principal and interest.

 

We calculated historical and pro forma per share amounts by dividing historical and pro forma amounts of consolidated net income and shareholders’ equity by the indicated number of shares of common stock.  We adjusted these figures to give effect to the shares of common stock purchased by the employee stock ownership plan.  We computed per share amounts for the year as if the shares of common stock were outstanding at the beginning of the year, but we did not adjust per share historical or pro forma shareholders’ equity to reflect the earnings on the estimated net proceeds.

 

39



 

The pro forma table gives effect to the implementation of one or more stock-based benefit plans.  Subject to the receipt of shareholder approval, we have assumed that the stock-based benefit plans will acquire  a number of shares of common stock equal to 4% of the shares sold in the stock offering, at the same $10.00 price for which they were sold in the stock offering, and that such shares have been awarded to participants.  We have assumed that awards of common stock granted under the plans vest over a five-year period.

 

We also have assumed that the stock-based benefit plans will grant options to acquire shares of common stock equal to 10% of the shares of common stock sold in the stock offering.  In preparing the table below, we assumed that shareholder approval was obtained, that the exercise price of the stock options and the market price of the stock at the date of grant were $10.00 per share, and that the stock options had a term of ten years and vested over five years.  We applied the Black-Scholes option pricing model to estimate a grant-date fair value of $3.16 for each option.  In addition to the terms of the options described above, the Black-Scholes option pricing model assumed an estimated volatility rate of 19.34% for the shares of common stock, a dividend yield of 0%, an expected option life of 10 years and a risk-free rate of return of 1.89%.

 

We may grant options and award shares of common stock under one or more stock-based benefit plans in excess of 10% and 4%, respectively, of the shares of common stock sold in the stock offering and that vest sooner than over a five-year period if the stock-based benefit plans are adopted more than one year following the stock offering.

 

As discussed under “How We Intend to Use the Proceeds from the Offering,” we intend to contribute 50% of the net proceeds from the stock offering to Georgetown Savings Bank, and we will retain the remainder of the net proceeds from the stock offering.  We will use a portion of the proceeds we retain to make a loan to the employee stock ownership plan and retain the rest of the proceeds for future use.

 

The pro forma table does not give effect to:

 

·                                          withdrawals from deposit accounts to purchase shares of common stock in the stock offering;

 

·                                          our results of operations after the stock offering; or

 

·                                          changes in the market price of the shares of common stock after the stock offering.

 

The following pro forma information may not be representative of the financial effects of the offering at the dates on which the offering actually occurs, and should not be taken as indicative of future results of operations. Pro forma consolidated shareholders’ equity represents the difference between the stated amounts of our assets and liabilities.  The pro forma shareholders’ equity is not intended to represent the fair market value of the shares of common stock and may be different than the amounts that would be available for distribution to shareholders if we liquidated.  Moreover, pro forma shareholders’ equity per share does not give effect to the liquidation accounts to be established in the conversion or, in the unlikely event of a liquidation of Georgetown Savings Bank, to the tax effect of the recapture of the bad debt reserve.  See “The Conversion and Offering—Liquidation Rights.”

(1)

As adjusted to give effect to an increase in the number of shares that could occur due to a 15% increase in the offering range to reflect demand for the shares or changes in market conditions following the commencement of the stock offering.

(2)

Assumes that 8% of the shares of common stock sold in the offering (68,000, 80,000, 92,000 and 105,800 at the minimum, midpoint, maximum and adjusted maximum of the offering range, respectively) will be purchased by the employee stock ownership plan. For purposes of this table, the funds used to acquire these shares are assumed to have been borrowed by the employee stock ownership plan from New Georgetown. Georgetown Savings Bank intends to make annual contributions to the employee stock ownership plan in an amount at least equal to the required principal and interest payments on the debt. Georgetown Savings Bank’s total annual payments on the employee stock ownership plan debt are based upon 15 equal annual installments of principal and interest. Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification 718-40, “Employers’ Accounting for Employee Stock Ownership Plans” (“ASC 718-40”) requires that an employer record compensation expense in an amount equal to the fair value of the shares committed to be released to employees. The pro forma adjustments assume that the employee stock ownership plan shares are allocated in equal annual installments based on the number of loan repayment installments assumed to be paid by Georgetown Savings Bank, the fair value of the common stock remains equal to the subscription price and the employee stock ownership plan expense reflects an effective combined federal and state tax rate of 40.0%. The unallocated employee stock ownership plan shares are reflected as a reduction of shareholders’ equity. No reinvestment is assumed on proceeds contributed to fund the employee stock ownership plan. The pro forma net income further assumes that 4,533, 5,333, 6,133 and 7,053 shares were committed to be released during the period at the minimum, midpoint, maximum, and adjusted maximum of the offering range, respectively, and in accordance with ASC 718-40, only the employee stock ownership plan shares committed to be released during the period were considered outstanding for purposes of net income per share calculations.

(3)

Assumes that, if approved by New Georgetown’s shareholders, one or more stock-based benefit plans purchase an aggregate number of shares of common stock equal to 4% of the shares to be sold in the offering (34,000, 40,000, 46,000 and 52,900 at the minimum, midpoint, maximum and adjusted maximum of the offering range, respectively). Such amount is subject to adjustment as may be required by federal regulations or policy to reflect restricted stock previously granted by Georgetown-Federal or Georgetown Savings Bank (or may be a greater number of shares if the plan is implemented more than one year after completion of the conversion). Shareholder approval of the plans and purchases by the plans may not occur earlier than six months after the completion of the conversion. The shares may be acquired directly from New Georgetown or through open market purchases. Shares in the stock-based benefit plan are assumed to vest over a period of five years. The funds to be used to purchase the shares will be provided by New Georgetown. The table assumes that (i) the stock-based benefit plan acquires the shares through open market purchases at $10.00 per share, (ii) 20% of the amount contributed to the plan is amortized as an expense during the year ended December 31, 2011, and (iii) the plan expense reflects an effective combined federal and state tax rate of 40.0%. Assuming shareholder approval of the stock-based benefit plans and that shares of common stock (equal to 4% of the shares sold in the offering) are awarded through the use of authorized but unissued shares of common stock, shareholders would have their ownership and voting interests diluted by approximately 2.22% at the adjusted maximum of the offering range.

(4)

Assumes that, if approved by New Georgetown’s shareholders, one or more stock-based benefit plans grant options to acquire an aggregate number of shares of common stock equal to 10% of the shares to be sold in the offering (85,000, 100,000, 115,000 and 132,250 at the minimum, midpoint, maximum and adjusted maximum of the offering range, respectively). Such amount is subject to adjustment as may be required by federal regulations or policy to reflect stock options previously granted by Georgetown-Federal or Georgetown Savings Bank (or may be a greater number of shares if the plan is implemented more than one year after completion of the conversion). Shareholder approval of the plans may not occur earlier than six months after the completion of the conversion. In calculating the pro forma effect of the stock-based benefit plans, it is assumed that the exercise price of the stock options and the trading price of the common stock at the date of grant were $10.00 per share, the estimated grant-date fair value determined using the Black-Scholes option pricing model was $3.16 for each option, the aggregate grant-date fair value of the stock options was amortized to expense on a straight-line basis over a five-year vesting period of the options, and that 25% of the amortization expense (or the assumed portion relating to options granted to directors) resulted in a tax benefit using an assumed tax rate of 40.0%. The actual expense will be determined by the grant-date fair value of the options, which will depend on a number of factors, including the valuation assumptions used in the option pricing model ultimately adopted. Under the above assumptions, the adoption of the stock-based benefit plans will result in no additional shares under the treasury stock method for purposes of calculating earnings per share. There can be no assurance that the actual exercise price of the stock options will be equal to the $10.00 price per share. If a portion of the shares used to satisfy the exercise of options comes from authorized but unissued shares, our net income per share and shareholders’ equity per share would decrease. The issuance of authorized but unissued shares of common stock pursuant to the exercise of options under such plan would dilute shareholders’ ownership and voting interests by approximately 5.36% at the adjusted maximum of the offering range.

(5)

The number of shares used to calculate pro forma net income per share is equal to the total number of shares to be outstanding upon completion of the conversion, less the number of shares purchased by the employee stock ownership plan not committed to be released within one year following the conversion. The number of shares used to calculate pro forma shareholders’ equity per share is equal to the total number of shares to be outstanding upon completion of the offering.

(6)

The retained earnings of Georgetown Savings Bank will be restricted after the conversion. See “Our Dividend Policy,” “The Conversion and Offering—Liquidation Rights” and “Supervision and Regulation—Capital Distributions.”

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION

AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

 

This discussion and analysis reflects our consolidated financial statements and other relevant statistical data, and is intended to enhance your understanding of our financial condition and results of operations.  The information in this section has been derived from the audited and unaudited consolidated financial statements, which appear beginning on page F-1 of this prospectus.  You should read the information in this section in conjunction with the business and financial information regarding Georgetown-Federal provided in this prospectus.

 

Overview

 

Our results of operations depend primarily on our net interest income.  Net interest income is the difference between the interest income we earn on our interest-earning assets, consisting primarily of loans, investment securities and other interest-earning assets (primarily cash equivalents), and the interest we pay on our interest-bearing liabilities, consisting primarily of savings accounts, NOW accounts, money market accounts, certificates of deposit and borrowings.  Our results of operations also are affected by our provisions for loan losses, non-interest income and non-interest expense.  Non-interest income consists of fees and service charges, mortgage banking income, income from bank-owned life insurance and miscellaneous other income.  Non-interest expense consists primarily of salaries and employee benefits, occupancy and equipment, data processing, professional fees, advertising and other administrative expenses.

 

Our results of operations also may be affected significantly by general and local economic and competitive conditions, changes in market interest rates, governmental policies and actions of regulatory authorities.  Additionally, because our lending activity is concentrated in loans secured by residential and commercial real estate located in the Essex and Suffolk counties, Massachusetts region and southern New Hampshire, downturns in this regional economy could have a negative impact on our earnings.

 

We have continued our trend of net income, reporting earnings of $1.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2011 and $1.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2010.  Earnings were positively affected by an increase in our net interest income, which totaled $8.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2011 compared to $7.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2010.  However, the decrease in net income was due primarily to a $949,000 provision for loan losses for the year ended December 31, 2011 compared to a $188,000 provision for loan losses for the year ended December 31, 2010, reflecting a $698,000 charge-off relating to one large, out-of-market home equity loan.  In addition, despite an increase in non-performing loans to $3.1 million, or 1.92% of total loans at December 31, 2011, compared to $253,000, or 0.14% of total loans at December 31, 2010, our allowance for loan losses increased to $1.8 million at December 31, 2011 compared to $1.7 million at December 31, 2010, as described in “Comparison of Operating Results for the Years Ended December 31, 2011 and 2010—Provision for Loan Losses.”

 

Total assets decreased $5.6 million, or 2.8%, to $199.4 million at December 31, 2011 from $205.0 million at December 31, 2010.  The decrease resulted from decreases in loans and securities, partially offset by an increase in cash and cash equivalents.  Loan originations during 2011 were negatively affected by a change in lending staff in 2011.   However, we now have a fully staffed loan department, including a fully staffed commercial loan department, as discussed in “—Business Strategy.”

 

We do not originate subprime, Alt-A or option ARM residential mortgage loans.  All of our mortgage-backed securities have been issued by Freddie Mac, Fannie Mae or Ginnie Mae, which are U.S. Government agencies or Government-sponsored enterprises.  These entities guarantee the payment of principal and interest on our mortgage-backed securities.  We do not own any common or preferred stock issued by Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac.

 

As of December 31, 2011, our available credit lines and other sources of liquidity had not been reduced compared to levels from December 31, 2010.

Following the completion of the conversion, our non-interest expense is expected to increase because of the increased compensation expenses associated with the purchase of shares of common stock by our employee stock ownership plan and the possible implementation of one or more stock-based benefit plans, if approved by our shareholders no earlier than six months after the completion of the conversion.  For further information, see “Summary—Benefits to Management and Potential Dilution to Shareholders Resulting from the Conversion;” “Risk Factors—Our stock-based benefit plans would increase our expenses and reduce our income;” and “Management—Benefits to be Considered Following Completion of the Conversion.”

 

Business Strategy

 

Our principal objective is to build long-term value for our shareholders by operating a profitable community bank dedicated to meeting the banking needs of our customers.  Our board of directors has sought to accomplish this objective with a strategy designed to increase profitability, while maintaining a strong capital position and high asset quality.  We cannot assure you that we will successfully implement our business strategy.

 

Highlights of our business strategy are as follows:

 

·                                          Continuing to emphasize the origination of commercial loans.  In recent years, we have diversified our lending activities by increasing our origination of commercial and multi-family real estate loans, residential (one- to four-family) investment property loans and commercial business loans.  We have established a fully staffed commercial loan department that includes two commercial loan officers, a credit manager and analyst, a commercial loan assistant, and a commercial loan servicing representative. Our commercial loan portfolio, including commercial construction loans, has grown significantly since 2006, to $82.6 million, or 50.8% of our total loan portfolio as of December 31, 2011 compared to $24.0 million, or 18.5% of our loan portfolio at June 30, 2006.  While commercial construction loans increased to $23.2 million or 14.3% of our loan portfolio at December 31, 2011 from $10.6 million or 8.2% of our loan portfolio at June 30, 2006, we intend to focus on the origination of more permanent, longer term loans that will help us establish more profitable relationships with our borrowers and grow our core deposit base. The additional capital raised in the offering will further increase our ability to originate commercial loans.  However, originating more one- to four-family investment property, multi-family, commercial real estate and commercial business loans exposes us to increased risks, as discussed in the “Risk Factors” section of this prospectus.

 

·                                          Continuing to emphasize core deposit growth to reduce our funding costs.  Our balance of demand deposit accounts, NOW accounts, savings accounts and money market deposits, which we consider core deposits, has increased to 69.9% of total deposits at December 31, 2011 from 58.0% of deposits at June 30, 2006.  This, along with a significantly lower interest rate environment, has helped to lower the weighted average cost of our total deposits to 0.78% at December 31, 2011 from 2.53% at June 30, 2006. We intend to continue to increase core deposits by cross-selling existing customers and establishing new relationships. With our continued focus on building commercial loan and deposit service relationships, we will continue to seek lower cost core deposits, primarily in the form of our commercial demand deposit and money market accounts. Additionally, we will continue to promote the growth of retail core deposits through the continued marketing of our retail checking accounts. Finally, our overall deposit growth has enabled us to reduce our need for borrowings, which generally have a higher cost than core deposits. Total Federal Home Loan Bank borrowings decreased to $25.1 million at December 31, 2011 from $51.2 million at June 30, 2006.

 

·                                          Maintaining high asset quality through conservative underwriting and aggressive monitoring of our assets.  We have emphasized maintaining strong asset quality by following conservative underwriting criteria, and primarily originating loans secured by real estate, and when appropriate, guaranteed by state or government programs like the U.S. Small Business Administration.  In the current economic environment, we intend to continue to aggressively monitor our loan portfolio.

We use an outside loan review firm to review a majority of our commercial loan portfolio on an annual basis. This review provides management with an objective third-party analysis of the quality of our commercial loan portfolio. In addition, we conduct periodic reviews of individual commercial credits and meet periodically, in person and at their place of business, with our commercial customers in order to stay abreast of any and all issues that may affect the quality of the credit relationship. In light of the poor residential real estate market since 2008, we have also conducted multiple reviews of our home equity line of credit portfolio to determine the effect of the housing market on the quality of this portion of our loan portfolio. We plan to continue this practice annually.  The most recent review, conducted in May 2011, indicated that 94% of our home equity lines of credit had combined loan-to-value ratios of 85% or less. We will continue to emphasize strong asset quality as we further diversify our loan portfolio.  At December 31, 2011 and 2010, our ratio of non-performing assets to total assets was 1.59% and 0.15%, respectively.  This compares with the ratios of 3.59% and 3.71%, respectively, as of the same dates (or the latest date for which information was available as of March 2, 2012) for all Nasdaq-listed banks and thrifts and 1.51% and 1.48%, respectively as of the same dates (or the latest date for which information was available as of March 2, 2012) for all Nasdaq-listed banks and thrifts located in Massachusetts.

 

·                                          Expanding our secondary mortgage marketing capabilities.  Historically, we emphasized the origination of one- to four-family residential lending within our market area and we retained in our portfolio substantially all loans that we originated.  Recently, we have developed a mortgage banking operation, as we sold $19.4 million of residential loans in the secondary market during the year ended December 31, 2011, generating $403,000 in net gain on sale income.  The loans we sold consisted primarily of one- to four-family residential real estate loans with terms of 15 years or more and were primarily sold on a servicing-retained basis, which has allowed us to maintain customer relationships for future cross-selling opportunities.  Selling these longer-term loans also assists us in managing interest rate risk and provides us with added liquidity to fund our commercial lending activity.  We expect to have a greater emphasis in this activity in the future as, among other things, we intend to expand our residential mortgage origination staff and possibly expand our geographic locations.

 

·                                          Remaining a community bank.  We were established in Georgetown, Massachusetts in 1868 and we have been operating continuously since that time.  We have been, and continue to be, committed to meeting the financial needs of the communities in which we operate, and we are dedicated to providing exceptional personal service to our customers.  We emphasize personalized banking, competitive pricing strategies and the advantage of local decision-making in our banking business.  In addition, our senior management has an average experience of 27 years in the banking industry and has extensive knowledge of our local markets.

 

Critical Accounting Policies

 

Critical accounting policies are those that involve significant judgments and assumptions made by management and that have, or could have, a material impact on our income or the carrying value of our assets.  Our critical accounting policies are those related to our allowance for loan losses and deferred income taxes.

 

Allowance for Loan Losses. The allowance for loan losses is established as losses are estimated to have occurred through a provision for loan losses charged to earnings.  Loan losses are charged against the allowance when management believes the uncollectibility of a loan balance is confirmed.  Subsequent recoveries, if any, are credited to the allowance.

 

The allowance for loan losses is evaluated on a monthly basis by management and is based upon management’s monthly review of the collectibility of the loans in light of known and inherent risks in the nature and volume of the loan portfolio, adverse situations that may affect the borrower’s ability to repay, estimated value of any underlying collateral and prevailing economic conditions.  Additionally, as part of the evaluation of the level of

 

45



 

the allowance for loan losses, on a quarterly basis management analyzes several qualitative loan portfolio risk factors including, but not limited to, charge-off history, changes in management or underwriting policies, current economic conditions, delinquency statistics, geographic and industry concentrations, the adequacy of the underlying collateral, the financial strength of the borrower and results of internal and external loan reviews. This evaluation is inherently subjective as it requires estimates that are susceptible to significant revision as more information becomes available.

 

The allowance for loan losses consists of specific, general and unallocated components.  The specific component relates to loans that are classified as impaired.  For such loans that are classified as impaired, an allowance for loan losses is established when the discounted cash flows or the fair value of the existing collateral (less cost to sell) of the impaired loan is lower than the carrying value of that loan.  The general component covers non-impaired loans and is based on historical loss experience adjusted for qualitative factors.  An unallocated component may be maintained to cover uncertainties that could affect management’s estimate of probable losses.

 

A loan is considered impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that Georgetown Savings Bank will be unable to collect the scheduled payments of principal or interest when due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement.  Factors considered by management in determining impairment include payment status, collateral value, and the probability of collecting scheduled principal and interest payments when due.  Loans that experience insignificant payment delays and payment shortfalls generally are not classified as impaired.

 

We periodically may agree to modify the contractual terms of loans. When a loan is modified and a concession is made to a borrower experiencing financial difficulty, the modification is considered a troubled debt restructuring.  All troubled debt restructurings are initially classified as impaired.

 

Adjustable-rate mortgage loans decrease the risk associated with changes in market interest rates by periodically repricing, but involve other risks because, as interest rates increase, the underlying payments by the borrower increase, thus increasing the potential for default by the borrower. At the same time, the marketability of the underlying collateral may be adversely affected by higher interest rates. Upward adjustment of the contractual interest rate is also limited by the maximum periodic and lifetime interest rate adjustments permitted by our loan documents and, therefore, the effectiveness of adjustable-rate mortgage loans may be limited during periods of rapidly rising interest rates.

 

Loans secured by commercial real estate, multi-family and one- to four-family investment properties, generally involve larger principal amounts and a greater degree of risk than one- to four-family residential mortgage loans. Because payments on loans secured by commercial real estate, including multi-family and one- to four-family investment properties, are often dependent on the successful operation or management of the properties, repayment of such loans may be affected by adverse conditions in the real estate market or the economy.

 

Unlike residential mortgage loans, which generally are made on the basis of the borrower’s ability to make repayment from his or her employment or other income, and which are secured by real property whose value tends to be more easily ascertainable, commercial business loans generally are made on the basis of the borrower’s ability to repay the loan from the cash flow of the borrower’s business. As a result, the availability of funds for the repayment of commercial business loans may depend substantially on the success of the business itself. Further, any collateral securing the loans may depreciate over time, may be difficult to appraise and may fluctuate in value.

 

Construction and development financing is generally considered to involve a higher degree of credit risk than long-term financing on improved, owner-occupied real estate. Risk of loss on a construction loan depends largely upon the accuracy of the initial estimate of the value of the property at completion of construction compared to the estimated cost (including interest) of construction and other assumptions. If the estimate of construction cost proves to be inaccurate, we may be required to advance funds beyond the amount originally committed in order to protect the value of the property. Additionally, if the estimate of value proves to be inaccurate, we may be confronted with a project, when completed, having a value that is insufficient to assure full repayment.

Income Taxes. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are determined using the liability (or balance sheet) method.  Under this method, the net deferred tax asset or liability is determined based on the tax effects of the temporary differences between the book and tax bases of the various balance sheet assets and liabilities and gives current recognition to changes in tax rates and laws.  A valuation allowance is established against deferred tax assets when, based upon the available evidence including historical and projected taxable income, it is more likely than not that some or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.

 

Comparison of Financial Condition at December 31, 2011 and 2010

 

Total assets decreased $5.6 million, or 2.8%, to $199.4 million at December 31, 2011 from $205.0 million at December 31, 2010.  The decrease resulted from decreases in loans and securities, partially offset by an increase in cash and cash equivalents.  Loan originations during 2011 were negatively affected by a change in lending staff in 2011.   However, we now have a fully staffed loan department, including a fully staffed commercial loan department, as discussed above in “—Business Strategy.”

 

Cash and cash equivalents increased $15.8 million to $19.1 million at December 31, 2011 from $3.3 million at December 31, 2010.  The increase in cash and cash equivalents resulted primarily from loan repayments and prepayments and securities maturities during the year ended December 31, 2011, as well as our origination and sale of $19.4 million of loans during the year ended December 31, 2011 (comprised primarily of 30-year, fixed-rate conforming residential mortgage loans sold on a servicing-retained basis), as described below.

 

Our total securities portfolio decreased $3.9 million, or 37.7%, to $6.5 million at December 31, 2011 from $10.4 million at December 31, 2010.  At this time, we have not replaced maturing securities in the current low-yield environment.  However, we anticipate that we will use excess cash for future securities purchases.

 

Loans (excluding loans held for sale) decreased $17.3 million, or 9.6%, to $162.8 million at December 31, 2011 from $180.1 million at December 31, 2010.  We experienced decreases in all categories of our loan portfolio except for multi-family construction loans.  One- to four-family residential real estate loans decreased $8.1 million, or 11.4%, to $62.6 million at December 31, 2011 from $70.7 million at December 31, 2010, as we continue to sell newly-originated residential real estate loans, with such sales totaling $19.4 million during the year ended December 31, 2011.  Total commercial loans decreased $6.8 million, or 10.3%, to $59.4 million at December 31, 2011 from $66.2 million at December 31, 2010.  Although we continue to emphasize the origination of commercial loans, despite the current competitive market, we have determined to maintain our historical underwriting standards instead of relaxing these standards and we have not reduced loan rates below levels at which we could not operate profitably.  One- to four-family construction loans decreased $4.8 million, or 28.6%, partially offset by an increase of $2.9 million, or 37.9%, in multi-family construction loans.  The significant majority of our construction loans remain collateralized by residential real estate (97.3% at December 31, 2011 and 97.1% at December 31, 2010).  Loan originations during 2011 were negatively affected by a change in lending staff in 2011.   However, we now have a fully staffed loan department, including a fully staffed commercial loan department, as discussed above.

 

Deposits remained relatively unchanged, totaling $151.1 million at December 31, 2011 and $151.5 million at December 31, 2010.  However, our focus on generating lower-cost “core” deposits (which we define as non-certificate of deposit accounts) resulted in such core deposits increasing $4.2 million, or 4.1%, to $105.6 million at December 31, 2011 from $101.4 million at December 31, 2010, and such deposits representing 69.9% of our deposit portfolio at December 31, 2011 compared to 67.0% of our deposit portfolio at December 31, 2010.

 

Total borrowings decreased $6.5 million, or 20.1%, to $25.7 million at December 31, 2011 from $32.2 million at December 31, 2010, as we used excess cash to pay off maturing Federal Home Loan Bank advances.

 

Stockholders’ equity increased $1.2 million, or 6.1%, to $20.3 million at December 31, 2011 from $19.2 million at December 31, 2010.  The increase resulted primarily from net income of $1.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2011.

Comparison of Operating Results for the Years Ended December 31, 2011 and 2010

 

General. Net income decreased $442,000, or 30.4%, to $1.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2011 from $1.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2010.  The decrease was due primarily to an increase in the provision for loan losses as well as an increase in net interest income, which were partially offset by a decrease in non-interest income and an increase in non-interest expense.

 

Interest and Dividend Income. Interest and dividend income decreased $474,000, or 4.2%, to $10.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2011 from $11.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2010.  We experienced decreases in interest and dividend income from both loans and securities.  Interest income on loans decreased $282,000, or 2.7%, to $10.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2011 from $10.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2010, due to a nine basis point decrease in yield to 5.91% for the year ended December 31, 2011 from 6.00% for the year ended December 31, 2010 as well as a $1.9 million, or 1.1%, decrease in the average balance of loans.  As noted above, we experienced decreases in almost all categories of loans, and the new loans we have been originating have been at lower interest rates due to continued low market interest rates.

 

Interest and dividend income on investment securities decreased $191,000, or 35.4%, to $349,000 for the year ended December 31, 2011 from $540,000 for the year ended December 31, 2010, due to decreases in both the yields earned on investment securities as well as the average balance of investment securities.  At this time, we have not replaced maturing securities in the current low-yield environment.

 

Interest Expense. Interest expense decreased $914,000, or 27.4%, to $2.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2011 from $3.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2010.  We experienced decreases in interest expense on both deposits and borrowings (primarily long-term Federal Home Loan Bank advances).  Interest expense on deposits decreased $562,000, or 27.4%, to $1.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2011 from $2.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2010, due primarily to a decrease in rates we paid on interest-bearing deposits.  The average rate we paid on interest-bearing deposits decreased to 1.12% for the year ended December 31, 2011 compared to 1.56% for the year ended December 31, 2010.  We have been able to increase our lower cost “core” deposits, as described above, while also reducing rates in the current low interest rate environment.

 

Interest expense on Federal Home Loan Bank advances decreased $352,000, or 27.5%, to $928,000 for the year ended December 31, 2011 from $1.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2010.  The decrease was due primarily to a decrease in the average balance, which decreased $10.1 million, or 25.9%, to $28.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2011 from $39.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2010.  We have been able to reduce our reliance on borrowings, as we have had excess cash to fund our operations.

 

Net Interest Income. Net interest income increased $440,000, or 5.6%, to $8.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2011 compared to $7.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2010.  Our net interest margin increased 40 basis points to 4.39% for the year ended December 31, 2011 compared to 3.99% for the year ended December 31, 2010, as the rates we paid on interest-bearing liabilities decreased 46 basis points to 1.49% for the year ended December 31, 2011 compared to 1.95% for the year ended December 31, 2010, while the yield we earned on interest-earning assets remained almost flat (5.67% for the year ended December 31, 2011 compared to 5.68% for the year ended December 31, 2010).  In addition, our net interest-earning assets increased $1.1 million, or 4.3%, to $27.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2011 compared to $26.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2010.  We expect that our net interest margin will compress in the future due to current competitive pricing in our market area.

 

Provision for Loan Losses. We establish provisions for loan losses, which are charged to operations, at a level necessary to absorb known and inherent losses that are both probable and reasonably estimable at the date of the financial statements.  In evaluating the level of the allowance for loan losses quarterly, management analyzes several qualitative loan portfolio risk factors including but not limited to, charge-off history over a relevant period, changes in management or underwriting policies, current economic conditions, delinquency statistics, geographic and industry concentrations, the adequacy of the underlying collateral, the financial strength of the borrower and results of internal and external loan reviews.  During the year ended December 31, 2010, we revised our

 

48



 

methodology to identify more categories that have increased risk based on their specific loan type or adverse ratings.  This evaluation is inherently subjective, as it requires estimates that are susceptible to significant revision as more information becomes available.  After an evaluation of these factors, we recorded a $949,000 provision for loan losses for the year ended December 31, 2011, as compared to a $188,000 provision for loan losses for the year ended December 31, 2010.  The provisions recorded resulted in an allowance for loan losses of $1.8 million, or 1.12% of total loans and 58.22% of non-performing loans at December 31, 2011, compared to an allowance for loan losses of $1.7 million, or 0.92% of total loans and 652.57% of non-performing loans at December 31, 2010.  The increase in the allowance for loan losses was primarily due to an increase in the valuation allowance for impaired loans.  The increase in the provision was primarily due to a $645,000 increase in loan charge-offs during 2011 compared to 2010.  The increase in loan charge-offs was primarily due to the  charge-off of  one large, out-of-market home equity loan.  The provision replenished the general valuation allowance applicable to home equity loans and lines of credit.

 

Historically, our loan portfolio has primarily consisted of one- to four-family residential mortgage loans. The composition of our loan portfolio has gradually changed in recent years to include more multi-family, commercial real estate, investment property and commercial business loans.  In addition, we intend to increase originations of these loans.  Management’s evaluation of the allowance for loan losses, the composition of the loan portfolio and increased risk associated with multi-family, commercial real estate and commercial business loans (because they present larger non-homogeneous credits and because they may be more sensitive to changes in economic conditions) may result in continued larger additions to the allowance for loan losses in future periods.

 

To the best of our knowledge, we have recorded all losses that are both probable and reasonable to estimate at December 31, 2011 and 2010.  However, future changes in the factors described above, including, but not limited to, actual loss experience with respect to our loan portfolio, could result in material increases in our provisions for loan losses.  In addition, the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, as an integral part of its examination process, will periodically review our allowance for loan losses.  Such agency may require us to recognize adjustments to the allowance, based on its judgments about information available to it at the time of its examination.

 

Non-interest Income. Non-interest income decreased $349,000, or 26.1%, to $990,000 for the year ended December 31, 2011 from $1.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2010.  Mortgage banking income decreased $254,000, or 41.4%, to $359,000 for the year ended December 31, 2011 from $613,000 for the year ended December 31, 2010.  We sold $19.4 million of loans during the year ended December 31, 2011 compared to $40.6 million of such sales for the year ended December 31, 2010, primarily due to a higher level of refinancing activity in 2010.  In addition, customer service fees decreased $94,000, or 15.1%, to $527,000 for the year ended December 31, 2011 from $621,000 for the year ended December 31, 2010, primarily due to a decline in checking account overdraft fees of $116,000, or 35.4%, partially offset by an increase in ATM service charges of $22,000, or 12.3%.

 

Non-interest Expense. Non-interest expense increased $44,000, or 0.7%, totaling $6.7 million for each of the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010.  Salaries and employee benefits expense increased $91,000, or 2.4%, to $3.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2011 from $3.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2010.  This increase was lower than our historical increases as we had several positions that remained unfilled during 2011.  In addition, advertising expense decreased $50,000, or 18.2%, reflecting reduced business development staff.  We expect non-interest expense to increase in future periods, reflecting normalized staffing.

 

Income Tax Expense. Income tax expense was $583,000 for the year ended December 31, 2011 compared to $855,000 for the year ended December 31, 2010, reflecting a decrease in pre-tax income.  The effective income tax rate was 36.5% for the year ended December 31, 2011 compared to 37.1% for the year ended December 31, 2010.

Average Balance Sheet

 

The following tables set forth average balance sheets, average yields and costs, and certain other information for the periods indicated.  There were no tax-equivalent yield adjustments made.  All average balances are daily average balances.  Non-accrual loans were included in the computation of average balances, but have been reflected in the table as loans carrying a zero yield.  The yields set forth below include the effect of deferred fees and costs, discounts and premiums that are amortized or accreted to interest income or expense.

Rate/Volume Analysis

 

The following table presents the effects of changing rates and volumes on our net interest income for the periods indicated.  The rate column shows the effects attributable to changes in rate (changes in rate multiplied by prior volume).  The volume column shows the effects attributable to changes in volume (changes in volume multiplied by prior rate).  The net column represents the sum of the prior columns.  For purposes of this table, changes attributable to both rate and volume, which cannot be segregated, have been allocated proportionately, based on the changes due to rate and the changes due to volume.

Management of Market Risk

 

General. The majority of our assets and liabilities are monetary in nature. Consequently, our most significant form of market risk is interest rate risk.  Our assets, consisting primarily of mortgage loans, have longer maturities than our liabilities, consisting primarily of deposits.  As a result, a principal part of our business strategy is to manage interest rate risk and reduce the exposure of our net interest income to changes in market interest rates.  Accordingly, our Board of Directors has established an Asset/Liability Committee, which is responsible for evaluating the interest rate risk inherent in our assets and liabilities, for determining the level of risk that is appropriate, given our business strategy, operating environment, capital, liquidity and performance objectives, and for managing this risk consistent with the guidelines approved by the Board of Directors.  Senior management monitors the level of interest rate risk on a regular basis and the Asset/Liability Committee meets on a monthly basis to review our asset/liability policies and position, interest rate risk position and to discuss and implement interest rate risk strategies.

 

We have sought to manage our interest rate risk in order to minimize the exposure of our earnings and capital to changes in interest rates.  We have implemented the following strategies to manage our interest rate risk: (1) offering a variety of adjustable rate loan products, including adjustable rate one- to four-family, multi-family and non-residential mortgage loans, and short-term consumer loans; (2) offering shorter-term fixed-rate mortgage loans; (3) using alternative funding sources, such as advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Boston; and (4) deposit pricing strategies and short duration investments.  By following these strategies, we believe that we are better positioned to react to changes in market interest rates.

Net Interest Income Simulation. Interest rate risk can result from timing differences in the maturity/repricing of an institution’s assets, liabilities and off-balance sheet contracts; the effect of embedded options, such as call or convertible options, loan prepayments, interest rate caps, and deposit withdrawals; unexpected shifts of the yield curve that affect both the slope and shape of the yield curve and differences in the behavior of lending and funding rates, sometimes referred to as basis risk.  Given the potential types and differing related characteristics of interest rate risk, it is important that we maintain an appropriate process and measurement tools to enable us to identify and quantify our sources of interest rate risk.  Our primary tool for measuring interest rate risk in this manner is an income simulation model.  This model measures the net interest income at risk primarily under three different interest rate scenarios.  Specifically, net interest income is measured assuming market interest rates remain unchanged, where rates increase 200 basis points and where rates decrease 100 basis points from current market rates over a one-year time horizon.  The changes in net interest income due to changes in market interest rates reflect the rate sensitivity of our interest-bearing assets and liabilities.

 

The following table presents the estimated changes in net interest income of Georgetown Savings Bank, calculated on a bank-only basis, that would result from changes in market interest rates over twelve-month periods beginning December 31, 2011 and 2010.

Certain shortcomings are inherent in the methodology used in the above interest rate risk measurement.  Modeling changes in net interest income simulation requires making certain assumptions that may or may not reflect the manner in which actual yields and costs respond to changes in market interest rates.  In this regard, the net interest income simulation table presented assumes that the composition of our interest-sensitive assets and liabilities existing at the beginning of a period remains constant over the period being measured and assumes that a particular change in interest rates is reflected uniformly across the yield curve regardless of the duration or repricing of specific assets and liabilities.  Accordingly, although the net interest income simulation table provides an indication of our interest rate risk exposure at a particular point in time, such measurements are not intended to and do not provide a precise forecast of the effect of changes in market interest rates on our net interest income and will differ from actual results.

 

Liquidity and Resources

 

Liquidity is the ability to meet current and future financial obligations of a short-term nature.  Our primary sources of funds consist of deposit inflows, loan repayments and maturities and sales of securities. While maturities and scheduled amortization of loans and securities are predictable sources of funds, deposit flows and mortgage prepayments are greatly influenced by general interest rates, economic conditions and competition.

 

We regularly review the need to adjust our investments in liquid assets based upon our assessment of: (1) expected loan demand, (2) expected deposit flows, (3) yields available on interest-earning deposits and securities, and (4) the objectives of our asset/liability management program.  Excess liquid assets are invested generally in interest-earning deposits and short- and intermediate-term securities.

 

Our most liquid assets are cash and cash equivalents.  The levels of these assets are dependent on our operating, financing, lending and investing activities during any given period.  At December 31, 2011, cash and cash equivalents totaled $19.1 million.  This amount is higher than historical amounts due to significant loan repayments and prepayments during 2011.  We expect to reduce our level of cash and cash equivalents in the future as we use excess cash to fund loan originations, securities purchases and the payoff of Federal Home Loan Bank borrowings.  Securities classified as available-for-sale, which provide additional sources of liquidity, totaled $4.2 million at

 

52



 

December 31, 2011.  In addition, at December 31, 2011, we had the ability to borrow a total of approximately $37.3 million from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Boston.  On that date, we had $25.1 million in advances outstanding.

 

During 2011, we continued our mortgage banking activities by selling residential loans in the secondary market, primarily on a servicing-retained basis.  These activities have a positive effect on liquidity by providing us with an additional source of funds.  During the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, we sold $19.4 million and $40.6 million of residential loans, respectively.

 

We have no material commitments or demands that are likely to affect our liquidity other than set forth below.  In the event loan demand were to increase faster than expected, or any unforeseen demand or commitment were to occur, we would access our borrowing capacity with the Federal Home Loan Bank of Boston.

 

At December 31, 2011 and 2010, we had $6.1 million and $9.1 million in loan commitments outstanding, respectively.  In addition to commitments to originate loans, at December 31, 2011 and 2010, we had $18.5 million and $22.4 million in unadvanced funds to borrowers, respectively.  We also had $125,000 in outstanding letters of credit at December 31, 2011 and 2010.  We also had $3.6 million and $1.8 million of forward loan sale commitments at December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively. These forward loan sale commitments were used to offset the interest rate risk associated with fixed-rate mortgage loans.  We also had $769,000 and $685,000 of loans held for sale at December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively.  Certificates of deposit due within one year of December 31, 2011 totaled $27.6 million, or 18.2% of total deposits.  If these deposits do not remain with us, we will be required to seek other sources of funds, including other certificates of deposit and Federal Home Loan Bank of Boston advances.  Depending on market conditions, we may be required to pay higher rates on such deposits or other borrowings than we currently pay on the certificates of deposit at December 31, 2011.  We believe, however, based on past experience that a significant portion of our certificates of deposit will remain with us.  We have the ability to attract and retain deposits by adjusting the interest rates offered.

 

Our primary investing activities are the origination of loans and the purchase of securities.  During the year ended December 31, 2011, we originated $75.8 million of loans, including $56.3 million of loans to be held in our portfolio, and we purchased $983,000 of securities.  During the year ended December 31, 2010, we originated $116.1 million of loans, including $75.5 million of loans to be held in our portfolio, and we purchased $5.0 million of securities.

 

Financing activities consist primarily of activity in deposit accounts and Federal Home Loan Bank advances.  We experienced a net decrease in total deposits of $378,000 and a net increase in total deposits of $14.8 million for the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively.  Deposit flows are affected by the overall level of interest rates, the interest rates and products offered by us and our local competitors and other factors. We generally manage the pricing of our deposits to be competitive.  Federal Home Loan Bank advances reflected net decreases of $6.6 million and $11.1 million during the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively.  Federal Home Loan Bank advances have primarily been used to fund loan demand and purchase securities during periods of lower liquidity.

 

The net proceeds from the stock offering will significantly increase our liquidity and capital resources.  Over time, the initial level of liquidity will be reduced as net proceeds from the stock offering are used for general corporate purposes, including the funding of loans.  Our financial condition and results of operations will be enhanced by the net proceeds from the stock offering, resulting in increased net interest-earning assets and net interest income.  However, due to the increase in equity resulting from the net proceeds raised in the stock offering, our return on equity will be adversely affected following the stock offering.

 

Capital

 

Georgetown Savings Bank is subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, including a risk-based capital measure.  The risk-based capital guidelines include both a definition of capital and a framework for calculating risk-weighted assets by assigning balance sheet

 

53



 

assets and off-balance sheet items to broad risk categories.  At December 31, 2011, Georgetown Savings Bank exceeded all applicable regulatory capital requirements, and was considered “well capitalized” under regulatory guidelines.  See “Historical and Pro Forma Regulatory Capital Compliance” and Note 12 of the Notes to the consolidated financial statements for additional information.

 

Periodically, the Office of the Thrift Supervision, as the former primary federal regulator of federal savings banks, recommended certain of those institutions take voluntary steps to reduce risk to the institutions and the federal deposit insurance fund.  In light of the then-existing economic environment and our then-anticipated loan growth, the Office of the Thrift Supervision requested, and Georgetown Savings Bank’s Board of Directors agreed, in October 2008, to certain voluntary constraints on Georgetown Savings Bank’s leveraged growth strategy, which constraints have been modified over time.  The voluntary constraints were as follows: (i) Georgetown Savings Bank would maintain a Tier 1 (core) capital ratio of at least 7.1%; and (ii) in the event the Tier 1 (core) capital ratio decreases below 7.5%, the ratio of “high-risk” loans, as defined, to Tier 1 (core) capital would not exceed 450%; the ratio of classified assets to Tier 1 (core) capital (plus the allowance for loan losses) would not exceed 15%; and the ratio of nonperforming assets to total assets would not exceed 1.5%.  As of December 31, 2011, Georgetown Savings Bank was in compliance with the requested targets.  As of December 31, 2011, Georgetown Bancorp, Inc. also had approximately $700,000 of cash available to downstream to Georgetown Savings Bank to support its future capital needs, if necessary.  In April 2012, the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency advised Georgetown Savings Bank that it was no longer subject to the voluntary restraints.

 

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements and Contractual Obligations

 

Georgetown Savings Bank is a party to financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk in the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of its customers. These financial instruments include commitments to extend credit, which involve elements of credit and interest rate risk in excess of the amount recognized in the consolidated balance sheets. Our exposure to credit loss is represented by the contractual amount of the instruments. We use the same credit policies in making commitments as we do for on-balance sheet instruments.

 

Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to a customer as long as there is no violation of any condition established in the contract. Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses and may require payment of a fee. The commitments for all lines of credit may expire without being drawn upon, therefore, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements. We evaluate each customer’s credit worthiness on a case-by-case basis. Substantially all of these financial instruments, except for unadvanced lines of credit on unsecured personal loans and commercial lines of credit, are secured by real estate.

 

Standby letters of credit are conditional commitments we issue to guarantee the performance by a customer to a third party. The credit risk involved in issuing letters of credit is essentially the same as that involved in extending loan facilities to customers. Our outstanding letters of credit generally have a term of less than one year.  If a letter of credit is drawn upon, we may seek recourse through the customer’s underlying line of credit. If the customer’s line of credit is also in default, we may take possession of the collateral, if any, securing the line of credit.

 

In the ordinary course of our operations, we enter into certain contractual obligations.  Such obligations include operating leases for premises and equipment, agreements with respect to borrowed funds and deposit liabilities, agreements with respect to investments and employment agreements with certain of our executive officers.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

For information with respect to recent accounting pronouncements that are applicable to Georgetown-Federal, please see note 2 of the notes to Georgetown-Federal’s consolidated financial statements beginning on page F-1.

 

Effect of Inflation and Changing Prices

 

The consolidated financial statements and related consolidated financial data presented herein regarding Georgetown-Federal have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which generally require the measurement of financial position and operating results in terms of historical dollars, without considering changes in relative purchasing power over time due to inflation.  Unlike most industrial companies, virtually all of Georgetown-Federal’s assets and liabilities are monetary in nature.  As a result, interest rates generally have a more significant impact on Georgetown-Federal’s performance than does the effect of inflation.  Interest rates do not necessarily move in the same direction or in the same magnitude as the prices of goods and services, because such prices are affected by inflation to a larger extent than interest rates.

 

BUSINESS OF NEW GEORGETOWN

 

New Georgetown is a Maryland corporation, organized in March 2012.  Upon completion of the conversion, New Georgetown will become the holding company of Georgetown Savings Bank and will succeed to all of the business and operations of Georgetown-Federal and each of Georgetown-Federal and Georgetown Bancorp, MHC will cease to exist.

 

Initially following the completion of the conversion, New Georgetown’s assets will be the stock of Georgetown Savings Bank as well as the net proceeds it retains from the offering, part of which will be used to make a loan to the Georgetown Savings Bank Employee Stock Ownership Plan, and will have no significant liabilities.  See “How We Intend to Use the Proceeds From the Offering.”  New Georgetown intends to use the support staff and offices of Georgetown Savings Bank and will pay Georgetown Savings Bank for these services.  If New Georgetown expands or changes its business in the future, it may hire its own employees.

 

New Georgetown intends to invest the net proceeds of the offering as discussed under “How We Intend to Use the Proceeds From the Offering.”  In the future, we may pursue other business activities, including mergers and acquisitions, investment alternatives and diversification of operations.  There are, however, no current understandings or agreements for these activities.

 

BUSINESS OF GEORGETOWN-FEDERAL

AND GEORGETOWN SAVINGS BANK

 

Georgetown-Federal

 

Georgetown-Federal is a federally chartered corporation that owns all of the outstanding shares of common stock of Georgetown Savings Bank.  At December 31, 2011, Georgetown-Federal had consolidated assets of $199.4 million, deposits of $151.1 million and shareholders’ equity of $20.3 million.

 

Georgetown-Federal became the holding company for Georgetown Savings Bank when Georgetown Savings Bank reorganized in the two-tiered mutual holding company structure in 2005.  Concurrently, Georgetown-Federal sold a 45.0% minority interest in its shares of common stock to the public and issued a 55.0% majority interest in its shares of common stock to Georgetown Bancorp, MHC.

 

Georgetown-Federal’s home office is located at 2 East Main Street, Georgetown, Massachusetts 01833 and the telephone number is (978) 352-8600.

Georgetown Savings Bank

 

Georgetown Savings Bank is a federally chartered savings bank that was originally founded in 1868.  In 2005, in connection with its mutual holding company reorganization, Georgetown Savings Bank converted from a Massachusetts-chartered savings bank to a federally chartered savings bank.  Georgetown Savings Bank conducts business from its home office located in Georgetown, Massachusetts and its two branch offices, located in North Andover and Rowley, Massachusetts.  Georgetown Savings Bank is subject to comprehensive regulation and examination by the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency.

 

Our principal business consists of attracting deposits from businesses and the general public primarily in Essex County, Massachusetts, and investing those deposits, together with borrowings and funds generated from operations, in commercial and multi-family real estate loans, one- to four-family investment property loans and commercial business loans, one- to four-family residential real estate loans, home equity loans and lines of credit and consumer loans, as well as investing in investment securities.  We primarily originate loans in eastern Massachusetts (which includes the Boston metropolitan area) and southern New Hampshire.   For a description of our business strategy, see “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Business Strategy.”

 

Our revenues are derived principally from interest on loans and securities, customer service fees and our mortgage banking operation. Our primary sources of funds are deposits, borrowings and principal and interest payments on loans and securities, as well as the sale of residential loans in the secondary market.

 

In March 2011, Georgetown Bancorp, MHC, Georgetown Bancorp, Inc., Georgetown Savings Bank and its subsidiary changed their fiscal year end from June 30 to December 31.

 

Market Area

 

We primarily serve communities located in Essex County, Massachusetts for deposit products and eastern Massachusetts (which includes the Boston metropolitan area) and southern New Hampshire for lending products.

 

Essex County is located in the northeastern portion of Massachusetts, a largely suburban area adjacent to the city of Boston. Georgetown is located 30 miles north of Boston near Interstate 95, the major north-south highway along the East Coast of the United States. Consistent with suburban areas located near large metropolitan areas, the economy of our primary deposit market area is a mixture of service, manufacturing, wholesale/retail trade, and state and local government. The primary deposit market area is also a bedroom community for individuals employed in nearby Boston. Maintaining operations near a large metropolitan area benefits us in periods of economic growth, while at the same time fosters significant competition for financial services. Our future growth opportunities depend in part on national economic growth, the future economic growth in our primary deposit market area and the intensity of competition for financial services.  Rockingham County, New Hampshire, where the majority of our business in southern New Hampshire is located, has market characteristics similar to Essex County.

 

The greater Boston metropolitan area is the 10th largest metropolitan area in the United States.  Located adjacent to major transportation corridors, the Boston metropolitan area provides a highly diversified economic base, with major employment sectors ranging from services, manufacturing and wholesale/retail trade, to finance, technology and medical care.

Competition

 

We face intense competition within our primary market area both in making loans and attracting deposits. Our primary market area has a high concentration of financial institutions including large money center and regional banks, community banks and credit unions. Some of our competitors offer products and services that we currently do not offer, such as trust services and private banking.

 

Our competition for loans and deposits comes principally from commercial banks, savings and cooperative institutions, mortgage banking firms and credit unions. We face additional competition for deposits from short-term money market funds, brokerage firms, mutual funds and insurance companies. Our primary focus is to build and develop profitable customer relationships across all lines of business, while maintaining our role as a community bank.

 

As of June 30, 2011 (the latest date for which information is available), our market share was 0.89% of total deposits in Essex County, Massachusetts, making us the 23rd largest out of 41 financial institutions in Essex County based upon deposit share as of that date.

 

Lending Activities

 

In recent years, we have diversified our lending activities by increasing our origination of commercial and multi-family real estate loans, one- to four-family investment property loans and commercial business loans.  Our commercial loan portfolio, including construction loans, has grown significantly since 2006, to $82.6 million, or 50.8% of our total loan portfolio as of December 31, 2011 compared to $24.0 million, or 18.5% of our loan portfolio at June 30, 2006.  One- to four-family investment property, commercial and multi-family real estate loans totaled $49.3 million, or 30.2% of our loan portfolio at December 31, 2011.  Commercial business loans totaled $10.1 million, or 6.2% of our loan portfolio at December 31, 2011, and construction loans totaled $23.2 million, or 14.3% of our loan portfolio at December 31, 2011.  One- to four-family residential real estate mortgage loans represented $62.6 million, or 38.5% of our total loan portfolio at December 31, 2011, compared to 39.3% as of December 31, 2010.  We also originate consumer loans that are not secured by real estate, including automobile loans, deposit account loans and unsecured personal loans. At December 31, 2011, such loans totaled $451,000, or 0.3% of our loan portfolio.

 

In accordance with our strategy of developing a mortgage banking operation, we sold $19.4 million of residential loans in the secondary market during the year ended December 31, 2011, generating $403,000 in non-interest income. We expect to have a greater emphasis in this activity in the future.

One- to Four-Family Residential Loans. At December 31, 2011, $62.6 million, or 38.5% of our loan portfolio consisted of one- to four-family residential mortgage loans. Our business strategy includes expanding our mortgage banking operation, whereby the majority of fixed-rate, residential loan originations are sold, primarily consisting of loans with 30-year terms, which we generally sell on a servicing-retained basis. We sold $19.4 million of residential mortgage loans during the year ended December 31, 2011, representing 57.9% of one- to four-family residential real estate loans originated during the year, as we continued developing our mortgage banking operations. One- to four-family mortgage loan originations are generally obtained from our outside and in-house loan representatives, from existing or past customers, through advertising, and through referrals from local real estate brokers and attorneys.  These loans are underwritten pursuant to our policies and standards. Generally, one- to four-family residential mortgage loans are originated in amounts up to 80% of the lesser of the appraised value or purchase price of the property, with private mortgage insurance required on loans with a loan-to-value ratio in excess of 80%. Fixed-rate mortgage loans generally are originated for terms of 10 to 40 years. Generally, all fixed-rate residential mortgage loans are underwritten according to secondary market policies and procedures, which allows us to sell the loans in the secondary market, consistent with our asset-liability management and portfolio needs.

 

We also offer adjustable-rate mortgage loans for one- to four-family properties, primarily with an interest rate based on the one-year LIBOR Index, which adjusts annually from the outset of the loan or which adjusts annually after a three-or five-year initial fixed-rate period. We originated $5.0 million of adjustable-rate, one- to four-family residential loans during the year ended December 31, 2011, and $28.5 million of fixed-rate one- to four-family residential loans during the same period. Of these fixed-rate loan originations, $19.5 million, or 68.4%, were originated for sale in the secondary mortgage market. Our adjustable-rate mortgage loans generally provide for maximum rate adjustments of 2% per adjustment, with a lifetime maximum adjustment up to 5%, regardless of the initial rate. Our adjustable-rate mortgage loans amortize over terms of up to 30 years. Generally, all adjustable-rate residential mortgage loans are underwritten according to secondary market policies and procedures.

 

Adjustable-rate mortgage loans decrease the risk associated with changes in market interest rates by periodically repricing, but involve other risks because, as interest rates increase, the underlying payments by the borrower increase, thus increasing the potential for default by the borrower. At the same time, the marketability of the underlying collateral may be adversely affected by higher interest rates. Upward adjustment of the contractual

 

60



 

interest rate is also limited by the maximum periodic and lifetime interest rate adjustments permitted by our loan documents and, therefore, the effectiveness of adjustable-rate mortgage loans may be limited during periods of rapidly rising interest rates. At December 31, 2011, $20.5 million, or 32.8% of our one- to four-family residential loans, had adjustable-rates of interest.

 

In an effort to provide financing for first-time homebuyers, we offer the first-time homebuyer loan programs from Massachusetts Housing Finance Agency (“Mass Housing”). This program offers one- to four-family residential mortgage loans to qualified individuals. These loans are offered with terms and fixed-rates of interest similar to our other one- to four-family mortgage loan products.  Such loans must be secured by an owner-occupied residence. These loans are originated using Mass Housing “expanded” underwriting guidelines.  Such loans are originated in amounts of up to 95% of the lower of the property’s appraised value or the sale price. Private mortgage insurance is required for loans with loan-to-value ratios of over 80%.

 

All residential mortgage loans that we originate include “due-on-sale” clauses, which give us the right to declare a loan immediately due and payable in the event that, among other things, the borrower sells or otherwise disposes of the real property subject to the mortgage and the loan is not repaid. Regulations limit the amount that a savings bank may lend relative to the appraised value of the real estate securing the loan, as determined by an appraisal of the property at the time the loan is originated. All borrowers are required to obtain title insurance for the benefit of Georgetown Savings Bank. We also require homeowner’s insurance and fire and casualty insurance and, where circumstances warrant, flood insurance on properties securing real estate loans. Our loan policy provides that we will not originate loans secured by real estate that contains underground fuel storage tanks. At December 31, 2011, our largest residential mortgage loan had a principal balance of $1.5 million and was secured by a residence located in Wellesley, Massachusetts. This loan was performing in accordance with its repayment terms.

 

Home Equity Loans and Home Equity Lines of Credit. We also offer home equity loans and home equity lines of credit, both of which are secured by one- to four-family residences. At December 31, 2011, home equity loans and equity lines of credit totaled $17.1 million, or 10.5% of total loans, consisting of $14.5 million of home equity lines of credit and $2.6 million of home equity loans. Additionally, at December 31, 2011, the unadvanced amounts of home equity lines of credit totaled $9.0 million. The underwriting standards utilized for home equity loans and equity lines of credit include a determination of the applicant’s credit history, an assessment of the applicant’s ability to meet existing obligations and payments on the proposed loan and the value of the collateral securing the loan. The combined loan-to-value ratio for home equity loans and equity lines of credit is generally limited to 85%. Home equity loans are offered with fixed-rates of interest and with terms of up to 20 years.  All of our home equity lines of credit have a 20-year term with an initial 10-year draw period and a 10-year repayment period.  Our home equity lines of credit have adjustable-rates of interest that are generally equal to the prime rate, as reported in The Wall Street Journal, plus 0.50% with a floor rate of 4.00%.

 

As of December 31, 2011, based upon principal balance, 2.3% of our home equity line of credit portfolio was in the repayment period and the other 97.3% was in the draw period.  As of that date, based upon principal balance, we held the first lien on $5.6 million of our home equity lines of credit, or 38.8% of our home equity line of credit portfolio (48.4% based upon number of loans).  In addition, as of that date, based upon principal balance, we held the first lien on $713,000 of our home equity loans, or 27.5% of our home equity loan portfolio (35.3% based upon number of loans).

 

For our previous review of our home equity line of credit portfolio, conducted in May 2011, we initially prepared a list of all such credits with either (i) a credit score of under 700 or (ii) a combined loan-to-value ratio of 70% or more.  This list was further refined to include only (a) all accounts with credit scores that decreased since the prior review or (b) have a credit score of under 700 and have a combined loan-to-value ratio of 70% or more.

 

For all loans on this final list, we reviewed credit reports and estimated the current value of the property as well as the percentage change in value since the prior review, using the valuation search engines Zillow.com, Homes.com and Data.visionappraisals.com.  Following this review, we determined whether any of the reviewed home equity lines of credit needed to be placed on the watch list or whether the lines should be decreased or frozen.

 

61



 

Going forward, we intend to conduct a regular, detailed review of credit reports for the entire home equity line of credit portfolio, and not just that portion of the portfolio that we reviewed under our prior review criteria.

 

Commercial Real Estate Loans. We originate commercial real estate loans, including commercial lines of credit, generally in our primary lending market area, that are secured by properties used for business purposes such as small office buildings or retail facilities. At December 31, 2011, commercial real estate loans totaled $25.4 million, which amounted to 15.6% of total loans. Our real estate underwriting policies provide that such loans may be made in amounts of up to 80% of the appraised value of the property, provided such loan complies with our loans-to-one borrower limit for these types of loans. Our loans-to-one borrower limit is 15% of Georgetown Savings Bank’s unimpaired capital, which limit was $3.1 million at December 31, 2011, but we generally target commercial real estate loans with balances of up to $2.5 million. At December 31, 2011, our average commercial real estate loan had a balance of $498,000.  Our commercial real estate loans may be made with terms of up to 10 years with an amortization of 25 years and are offered with interest rates that are fixed or adjust periodically and are generally indexed to Federal Home Loan Bank of Boston advance rates. When possible these loans provide for a pre-payment penalty.

 

In reaching a decision on whether to make a commercial real estate loan, we consider the net operating income of the property, the borrower’s expertise and credit history, and the profitability of the underlying business and the value of the underlying property. In addition, with respect to real estate rental properties, we will also consider the term of the lease and the quality of the tenants. We generally require that the properties securing these real estate loans have debt service coverage ratios (the ratio of earnings before debt service to debt service) of at least 1.20 times. Environmental surveys are generally required for commercial real estate loans. Generally, commercial real estate loans made to corporations, partnerships and other business entities require the principals to execute the loan agreements in their individual capacity, as well as signing on behalf of such business entity.

 

A commercial borrower’s financial information is monitored on an ongoing basis by requiring periodic financial statement updates, payment history reviews and periodic face-to-face meetings with the borrower. We require commercial borrowers to provide annually updated financial statements and federal tax returns. These requirements also apply to the individual principals of our commercial borrowers. We also require borrowers with rental investment property to provide an annual report of income and expenses for the property, including a tenant list and copies of leases, as applicable. The largest commercial real estate loan in our portfolio at December 31, 2011 was a $2.2 million loan collateralized by two commercial properties located in Boston, Massachusetts. This loan was performing according to its terms at December 31, 2011.

 

Loans secured by commercial real estate properties generally involve larger principal amounts and a greater degree of risk than one- to four-family residential mortgage loans. Because payments on loans secured by one- to four-family investment properties are often dependent on successful operation or management of the properties, repayment of such loans may be affected by adverse conditions in the real estate market or the economy.

 

One- to Four-Family Investment Property Loans. We originate commercial real estate loans on one- to four-family investment properties. The subject properties are non-owner occupied and generally under a business name or in individual’s name in instances where an individual owns more investment property than what is allowed under Fannie Mae guidelines. At December 31, 2011, one- to four-family investment property loans totaled $10.8 million, which amounted to 6.6% of total loans. Our real estate underwriting policies provide that such loans may be made in amounts of up to 80% of the appraised value of the property, provided such loan complies with our loans-to-one borrower limit for these types of loans. We generally target one- to four-family investment property loans with balances up to $750,000. At December 31, 2011, our average one- to four-family investment property had a balance of $230,000. Our loans for one- to four-family investment properties may be made with terms of up to 10 years with an amortization of up to 25 years and are offered with interest rates that are fixed or adjust periodically and are generally indexed to Federal Home Loan Bank of Boston advance rates. When possible these loans provide for a pre-payment penalty.

 

In reaching a decision on whether to make one- to four-family investment loans, we consider the net operating income of the property, the borrower’s expertise and credit history, the global cash flow of the borrowers

and the value of the underlying property. We generally require that the properties securing these real estate loans have debt service coverage ratios (the ratio of earnings before debt service to debt service) of at least 1.20 times. Generally, one- to four-family real estate loans made to business entities require the principals to execute the loan agreements in their individual capacity, as well as signing on behalf of such business entity.

 

A commercial borrower’s financial information is monitored on an ongoing basis by requiring periodic financial statement updates, payment history reviews and periodic face-to-face meetings with the borrower. We require commercial borrowers to provide annually updated financial statements and federal tax returns. These requirements also apply to the individual principals of our commercial borrowers. We also require borrowers with rental investment property to provide an annual report of income and expenses for the property, including a rent roll and copies of leases, as applicable. The largest one- to four-family investment property loan in our portfolio at December 31, 2011 was an $854,000 loan collateralized by a four-unit residential property located in South Boston, Massachusetts. This loan was performing according to its terms at December 31, 2011.

 

Loans secured by one- to four-family investment properties generally involve larger principal amounts and a greater degree of risk than one- to four-family residential mortgage loans. Because payments on loans secured by one- to four-family investment properties are often dependent on successful operation or management of the properties, repayment of such loans may be affected by adverse conditions in the real estate market or the economy.

 

Multi-Family Real Estate Loans. We originate commercial real estate loans on multi-family properties.  The subject properties are non-owner occupied rental properties greater than four units and generally under a business name or in individual’s name. At December 31, 2011, multi-family real estate loans totaled $13.0 million, which amounted to 8.0% of total loans. Our real estate underwriting policies provide that such loans may be made in amounts of up to 80% of the appraised value of the property, provided such loan complies with our loans-to-one borrower limit for these types of loans. We generally target multi-family loans with balances up to $2.5 million.  At December 31, 2011, our average multi-family real estate loan had a balance of $767,000. Our loans for multi-family real estate properties may be made with terms of up to 10 years with an amortization of up to 25 years and are offered with interest rates that are fixed or adjust periodically and are generally indexed to Federal Home Loan Bank of Boston advance rates. When possible these loans provide for a pre-payment penalty.

 

In reaching a decision on whether to make multi-family real estate loans, we consider the net operating income of the property, the borrower’s expertise and credit history, the global cash flow of the borrowers and the value of the underlying property. We generally require that the properties securing these real estate loans have debt service coverage ratios (the ratio of earnings before debt service to debt service) of at least 1.20 times. Environmental surveys may be required for multi-family real estate loans. Generally, multi-family real estate loans made to business entities require the principals to execute the loan agreements in their individual capacity, as well as signing on behalf of such business entity.

 

A commercial borrower’s financial information is monitored on an ongoing basis by requiring periodic financial statement updates, payment history reviews and periodic face-to-face meetings with the borrower. We require commercial borrowers to provide annually updated financial statements and federal tax returns. These requirements also apply to the individual principals of our commercial borrowers. We also require borrowers with rental investment property to provide an annual report of income and expenses for the property, including a rent roll and copies of leases, as applicable. The largest multi-family real estate loan in our portfolio at December 31, 2011 was a $2.0 million loan collateralized by an eight unit multi-family property located in Concord, Massachusetts. This loan was performing according to its terms at December 31, 2011.

 

Loans secured by multi-family real investment loans generally involve larger principal amounts and a greater degree of risk than one- to four-family residential mortgage loans. Because payments on loans secured by multi-family real investment properties are often dependent on successful operation or management of the properties, repayment of such loans may be affected by adverse conditions in the real estate market or the economy.

 

Commercial Business Loans.  At December 31, 2011, we had $10.1 million in commercial business loans, which amounted to 6.2% of total loans. We make commercial business loans in our primary lending market area to a

 

63



 

variety of professionals, sole proprietorships and small businesses. Commercial lending products include term loans and revolving lines of credit. The maximum amount of a commercial business loan is limited by our loans-to-one-borrower limit, which was $3.1 million at December 31, 2011. Such loans are generally used for short and long-term working capital purposes such as purchasing inventory, equipment or furniture. Commercial business loans are made with either adjustable or fixed-rates of interest and fixed maturity or lines of credit. Variable rates are generally based on the prime rate, as published in The Wall Street Journal, plus a margin. Fixed-rate commercial business loans are set either at a margin above the Federal Home Loan Bank of Boston comparable advance rate or the prime rate swap curve. When making commercial business loans, we consider the financial statements of the borrower, our lending history with the borrower, the debt service capabilities of the borrower, the projected cash flows of the business and the value of the collateral, if applicable. Commercial business loans are generally secured by a variety of collateral, primarily accounts receivable, inventory and equipment, and we also require the business principals to execute such loans in their individual capacities. Depending on the amount of the loan and the collateral used to secure the loan, commercial business loans are made in amounts of up to 80% of the value of the collateral securing the loan. Commercial business loans generally have greater credit risk than residential mortgage loans. Unlike residential mortgage loans, which generally are made on the basis of the borrower’s ability to make repayment from his or her employment or other income, and which are secured by real property whose value tends to be more easily ascertainable, commercial business loans generally are made on the basis of the borrower’s ability to repay the loan from the cash flow of the borrower’s business. As a result, the availability of funds for the repayment of commercial business loans may depend substantially on the success of the business itself. Further, any collateral securing the loans may depreciate over time, may be difficult to appraise and may fluctuate in value. We seek to minimize these risks through our underwriting standards. At December 31, 2011, our largest outstanding commercial business loan and line of credit was a $1.0 million line of credit with an outstanding balance of $999,000, which was secured by commercial real estate and business assets located in Rowley, Massachusetts. This loan was performing according to its terms at December 31, 2011.

 

Construction Loans. We originate construction loans for the development of one- to four and multi-family residential properties and non-residential properties located in our primary lending market area to experienced local developers and to individuals for the construction of their personal residences. At December 31, 2011, one- to four-family residential construction loans amounted to $11.9 million, or 7.3% of total loans. At December 31, 2011, the unadvanced portion of these residential construction loans totaled $2.7 million. At December 31, 2011, construction loans collateralized by multi-family properties totaled $10.7 million, or 6.6% of total loans. The unadvanced portion of these construction loans totaled $3.8 million at December 31, 2011. Construction loans collateralized by non-residential properties totaled $629,000, or 0.4% of total loans. There was no unadvanced portion of these construction loans at December 31, 2011.

 

Our one- to four and multi-family residential construction loans generally provide for the payment of interest only during the construction phase, which is usually 12 months. We originate one- to four and multi-family residential construction loans with a maximum loan-to-value ratio of 90% for single unit owner occupied construction projects, provided that the borrower obtains private mortgage insurance on the loan if the loan balance exceeds 80% of the appraised value or sales price, whichever is less, of the secured property. The maximum loan-to-value on two- to four and multi-family residential properties is 80% of the appraised value or sales price, whichever is less, of the secured property.  Before making a commitment to fund a one- to four or multi-family residential construction loans, we require an appraisal on the property by an independent licensed appraiser. We also review and inspect each property before disbursement of funds during the term of the construction loan. Loan proceeds are disbursed after inspection based on the percentage of completion method. At December 31, 2011, the largest outstanding one- to four-family residential construction loan commitment was for $1.3 million for the construction of four residential condominium units located in Cambridge, Massachusetts, $436,000 of which was outstanding. This loan was not performing according to its terms at December 31, 2011. At December 31, 2011, the largest multi-family construction loan commitment was for a $3.0 million property, located in South Boston, Massachusetts, $1.5 million of which was outstanding. This loan was performing according to its terms at December 31, 2011.

 

To a lesser extent, our construction loan projects include apartment, retail and office buildings, and strip malls. These loans generally have an interest-only phase during construction and are generally set at a fixed-rate. Disbursement of funds is at our sole discretion and is based on independent third-party inspections of the progress of

 

64



 

construction. The maximum loan-to-value ratio limit applicable to these loans is generally 80%. At December 31, 2011, the largest non-residential construction loan commitment was for $490,000 collateralized by land, located in Newburyport, Massachusetts, all of which was outstanding. This loan was performing according to its terms at December 31, 2011.

 

Construction and development financing is generally considered to involve a higher degree of credit risk than long-term financing on improved, owner-occupied real estate. Risk of loss on a construction loan depends largely upon the accuracy of the initial estimate of the value of the property at completion of construction compared to the estimated cost (including interest) of construction and other assumptions. If the estimate of construction cost proves to be inaccurate, we may be required to advance funds beyond the amount originally committed in order to protect the value of the property. Additionally, if the estimate of value proves to be inaccurate, we may be confronted with a project, when completed, having a value that is insufficient to assure full repayment.

 

The maximum amount of a construction loan is limited by our loans-to-one-borrower limit, which was $3.1 million at December 31, 2011.

 

Consumer Loans.  We offer consumer loans to customers residing in our primary lending market area with acceptable credit ratings. Our consumer loans generally consist of loans on new and used automobiles, loans secured by deposit accounts and unsecured personal loans. Consumer loans totaled $451,000 or 0.3% of our total loan portfolio at December 31, 2011.

 

Largest Lending Relationship.  At December 31, 2011, our largest lending relationship was a $3.0 million, consisting of a multi-family construction loan commitment, of which $1.5 million was outstanding at December 31, 2011.  At December 31, 2011, this loan was performing in accordance with its terms.

 

Origination, Participation and Servicing of Loans.  Lending activities are conducted primarily by our loan personnel operating at our main and branch office locations. All loans we originate are underwritten pursuant to our policies and procedures. We originate both adjustable-rate and fixed-rate loans. Our ability to originate fixed or adjustable-rate loans depends upon the relative customer demand for such loans, which is affected by the current and expected future levels of market interest rates. From time to time, we will participate in loans, sometimes as the “lead lender”. Whether we are the lead lender or not, we underwrite our participation portion of the loan according to our own underwriting criteria and procedures. At December 31, 2011, we had $5.3 million in loan participation interests in which we were the lead bank and $2.2 million in loan participation interests in which we were the participating bank.

 

Historically, we have generally retained in our portfolio and serviced all loans that we originated. However, in accordance with our strategic plan, we began selling primarily longer-term, fixed rate residential mortgage loans in the secondary market in January 2009. It is expected that a majority of future residential loan originations will be sold on a servicing-retained basis. Loan servicing includes collecting and remitting loan payments, accounting for principal and interest, contacting delinquent mortgagors, supervising foreclosures and property dispositions in the event of unremedied defaults, making certain insurance and tax payments on behalf of the borrowers and generally administering the loans. During the year ended December 31, 2011, we originated $33.5 million of fixed-rate and adjustable-rate one- to four-family loans, $14.0 million of which were placed in our portfolio.

Loan Approval Procedures and Authority.  Our lending activities follow written, non-discriminatory underwriting standards and loan origination procedures established by Georgetown Savings Bank’s Board of Directors. The loan approval process is intended to assess the borrower’s ability to repay the loan, the viability of the loan, and the adequacy of the value of the collateral that will secure the loan. To assess the borrower’s ability to repay, we review the employment and credit history and information on the historical and projected income and expenses of borrowers.

 

Our policies and loan approval limits are established by the Board of Directors. The Board of Directors has designated certain individuals of Georgetown Savings Bank (ranging from senior management to senior loan underwriter) (the “Designated Individuals”) to consider and approve loans within their designated authority. Loans in amounts above the authorized limits of the Designated Individuals and loans outside of the designated authority of the Designated Individuals require the approval of our Loan Committee. The Loan Committee consists of three non-employee directors and four employees of Georgetown Savings Bank. All loans that are approved by the Designated Individuals are reviewed and ratified by the Loan Committee and the full Board of Directors.

 

With regard to the lending authority of the Designated Individuals, our President and Chief Executive Officer, Senior Vice President and Chief Lending  Officer, and our Vice President/Senior Commercial Lender each possess individual authority to approve all residential types of credit in amounts up to $750,000. Our President and Chief Executive Officer and our Senior Vice President/Chief Lending Officer may approve all residential types of credits in amounts up to $1.0 million on a combined basis. Our President and Chief Executive Officer and Senior Vice President and Chief Lending Officer and Vice President Senior Commercial Lending Officer each possess individual authority to approve all commercial types of credit in amounts up to $750,000.  The Vice President and Commercial Loan Officer possesses individual authority to approve all commercial types of credit in amounts up to $250,000.  Our President and Chief Executive Officer and Senior Vice President and Chief Lending Officer may also approve all commercial types of credits in amounts up to $1.0 million on a combined basis. Our Assistant Vice President and Retail Lending Manager possesses individual authority to approve one- to four-family mortgage loans that meet the eligibility requirements for sale to Fannie Mae on the secondary mortgage market.

 

We typically require appraisals of all real property securing loans. Appraisals are performed by independent licensed appraisers. All appraisers are approved by the Board of Directors annually. We require fire and extended coverage insurance in amounts at least equal to the principal amount of the loan.

 

66



 

Non-performing and Problem Assets

 

We commence collection efforts when a loan becomes ten days past due with system generated reminder notices. Subsequent late charge and delinquent notices are issued and the account is monitored on a regular basis thereafter. Personal, direct contact with the borrower is attempted early in the collection process as a courtesy reminder and later to determine the reason for the delinquency and to safeguard the collateral. When a loan is more than 60 days past due, the credit file is reviewed and, if deemed necessary, information is updated or confirmed and collateral re-evaluated. We make every effort to contact the borrower and develop a plan of repayment to cure the delinquency. All loans 30 days past due are reported to the Loan Committee and the Board of Directors. Upon direction of the Loan Committee, if no repayment plan is in process, the file is referred to counsel for the commencement of foreclosure or other collection efforts.

 

Loans are generally placed on non-accrual status when they are 90 days or more delinquent, unless the credit is well secured and in process of collection. When loans are placed on a non-accrual status, unpaid accrued interest is fully reserved, and further income is recognized only to the extent cash payments are received.

 

Non-Performing Loans and Non-Performing Assets. At December 31, 2011, $3.1 million, or 1.92%, of our total loans were non-performing loans. These loans consisted of six loans to five individual borrowers. All of these loans are secured by real estate.

 

The table below sets forth the amounts and categories of our non-performing assets at the dates indicated. Delinquent loans that are 90 days or more past due are generally considered non-performing assets.  Not included in the table below is one loan that has been modified and classified as a troubled debt restructuring as of December 31, 2011.  The pre-modification outstanding recorded investment of this loan was $312,000 and the post-modification outstanding recorded investment was $315,000. At December 31, 2011 this loan has a recorded investment of $313,000 and was in default of its modified terms. This modification did not result in a material impact to the allowance for loan losses.  For the year ended December 31, 2011, gross interest income that would have been recorded had the troubled debt restructuring been current in accordance with their original terms amounted to $21,000. Interest income recognized on this loan for the year ended December 31, 2011 was $17,000.

At December 31, 2011, the non-accrual residential mortgage loans consisted of two one- to four-family residential real estate loans with aggregate principal balances of $682,000 and one home equity loan with a principal balance of $13,000.  The non-accrual construction loans consisted of two one- to four-family construction loans with

aggregate principal balances of $1.2 million and one multi-family construction loan with a principal balance of $1.3 million.  At December 31, 2011, the multi-family construction loan was current as to loan payments, but continued to be classified as non-performing based on past history.  Subsequent to December 31, 2011, payment was received on the multi-family construction loan, reducing its principal balance by $326,000.

 

At December 31, 2011, non-accrual loans totaled $3.1 million (six loans). For the year ended December 31, 2011, gross interest income that would have been recorded had the non-accruing loans been current in accordance with their original terms amounted to $250,000. Interest income recognized on all non-performing loans for the year ended December 31, 2011 was $184,000.

At December 31, 2011, the construction loans that were 90 days or more delinquent consisted of two one- to four-family construction loans.

 

Potential problem loans are loans that are currently performing and are not included in non-accrual loans above, but may be delinquent. These loans require an increased level of management attention, because we have serious doubts as to the ability of the borrower to comply with the present loan repayment terms and as a result such loans may be included at a later date in non-accrual loans. At December 31, 2011, $5.4 million, or 3.31% of total loans, had been identified as potential problem loans, of which one totaling $313,000 was delinquent.

 

Classified Assets.  Federal regulations provide that loans and other assets of lesser quality should be classified as “substandard”, “doubtful” or “loss” assets. An asset is considered “substandard” if it is inadequately protected by the current net worth and paying capacity of the obligor or of the collateral pledged, if any. “Substandard” assets include those characterized by the “distinct possibility” that we will sustain “some loss” if the deficiencies are not corrected. Assets classified as “doubtful” have all of the weaknesses inherent in those classified “substandard,” with the added characteristic that the weaknesses present make “collection or liquidation in full,” on the basis of currently existing facts, conditions, and values, “highly questionable and improbable.” Assets classified as “loss” are those considered “uncollectible” and of such little value that their continuance as assets without the establishment of a specific loss reserve is not warranted. We designate an asset as “special mention” if the asset has a potential weakness that warrants management’s close attention.

 

On the basis of management’s review of our assets, at December 31, 2011, we had designated $747,000 of our assets as special mention, which consisted of three loans to two separate borrowers. At December 31, 2011, we had classified $7.8 million of our assets as substandard, which consisted of 14 loans, one of which has been restructured.  These loans consisted of three one- to four-family residential real estate loans with total principal

balances of $898,000, one home equity loan with a principal balance of $13,000, three commercial real estate loans with total principal balances of $3.3 million, three commercial business loans with total principal balances of $640,000, two one- to four-family construction loans with total principal balances of $1.2 million, one multi-family construction loan with a principal balance of $1.2 million and one non-residential construction loan with a principal balance of $490,000.  At December 31, 2011, we had valuation allowances of $429,000 related to the loans classified as substandard.  At December 31, 2010, we had designated $4.0 million of our assets as special mention, which consisted of a one- to four-family investment property loan with a principal balance of $397,000 and three commercial real estate loans with total principal balances of $3.6 million.  At December 31, 2010, we had classified $253,000 of our assets as substandard.  At December 31, 2011 and 2010, we had no loans classified as doubtful or loss. The loan portfolio is reviewed on a regular basis to determine whether any loans require classification in accordance with applicable regulations.  Not all classified assets constitute non-performing assets.

 

Allowance for Loan Losses. The allowance for loan losses is established as losses are estimated to have occurred through a provision for loan losses charged to earnings.  Loan losses are charged against the allowance when management believes the uncollectibility of a loan balance is confirmed.  Subsequent recoveries, if any, are credited to the allowance.

 

The allowance for loan losses is evaluated on a monthly basis by management and is based upon management’s monthly review of the collectibility of the loans in light of known and inherent risks in the nature and volume of the loan portfolio, adverse situations that may affect the borrower’s ability to repay, estimated value of any underlying collateral and prevailing economic conditions.  Additionally, as part of the evaluation of the level of the allowance for loan losses, on a quarterly basis management analyzes several qualitative loan portfolio risk factors including, but not limited to, charge-off history, changes in management or underwriting policies, current economic conditions, delinquency statistics, geographic and industry concentrations, the adequacy of the underlying collateral, the financial strength of the borrower and results of internal and external loan reviews. This evaluation is inherently subjective as it requires estimates that are susceptible to significant revision as more information becomes available.

 

The allowance for loan losses consists of specific, general and unallocated components.  The specific component relates to loans that are classified as impaired.  For such loans that are classified as impaired, an allowance for loan losses is established when the discounted cash flows or the fair value of the existing collateral (less cost to sell) of the impaired loan is lower than the carrying value of that loan.  The general component covers non-impaired loans and is based on historical loss experience adjusted for qualitative factors.  An unallocated component may be maintained to cover uncertainties that could affect management’s estimate of probable losses.

 

A loan is considered impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that Georgetown Savings Bank will be unable to collect the scheduled payments of principal or interest when due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement.  Factors considered by management in determining impairment include payment status, collateral value, and the probability of collecting scheduled principal and interest payments when due.  Loans that experience insignificant payment delays and payment shortfalls generally are not classified as impaired.

 

As described above, we periodically may agree to modify the contractual terms of loans. When a loan is modified and a concession is made to a borrower experiencing financial difficulty, the modification is considered a troubled debt restructuring.  All troubled debt restructurings are initially classified as impaired.

 

Adjustable-rate mortgage loans decrease the risk associated with changes in market interest rates by periodically repricing, but involve other risks because, as interest rates increase, the underlying payments by the borrower increase, thus increasing the potential for default by the borrower. At the same time, the marketability of the underlying collateral may be adversely affected by higher interest rates. Upward adjustment of the contractual interest rate is also limited by the maximum periodic and lifetime interest rate adjustments permitted by our loan documents and, therefore, the effectiveness of adjustable-rate mortgage loans may be limited during periods of rapidly rising interest rates.

Loans secured by commercial real estate, multi-family and one- to four-family investment properties generally involve larger principal amounts and a greater degree of risk than one- to four-family residential mortgage loans. Because payments on loans secured by commercial real estate, including multi-family and one- to four-family investment properties, are often dependent on successful operation or management of the properties, repayment of such loans may be affected by adverse conditions in the real estate market or the economy.

 

Unlike residential mortgage loans, which generally are made on the basis of the borrower’s ability to make repayment from his or her employment or other income, and which are secured by real property whose value tends to be more easily ascertainable, commercial business loans generally are made on the basis of the borrower’s ability to repay the loan from the cash flow of the borrower’s business. As a result, the availability of funds for the repayment of commercial business loans may depend substantially on the success of the business itself. Further, any collateral securing the loans may depreciate over time, may be difficult to appraise and may fluctuate in value.

 

Construction and development financing is generally considered to involve a higher degree of credit risk than long-term financing on improved, owner-occupied real estate. Risk of loss on a construction loan depends largely upon the accuracy of the initial estimate of the value of the property at completion of construction compared to the estimated cost (including interest) of construction and other assumptions. If the estimate of construction cost proves to be inaccurate, we may be required to advance funds beyond the amount originally committed in order to protect the value of the property. Additionally, if the estimate of value proves to be inaccurate, we may be confronted with a project, when completed, having a value that is insufficient to assure full repayment.

Management establishes provisions for loan losses, which are charged to operations, at a level necessary to absorb known and inherent losses that are both probable and reasonably estimable at the date of the financial statements. In evaluating the level of the allowance for loan losses quarterly, management analyzes several qualitative loan portfolio risk factors including, but not limited to, charge-off history, changes in management or underwriting policies, current economic conditions, delinquency statistics, geographic and industry concentrations, the adequacy of the underlying collateral, the financial strength of the borrower and results of internal and external loan reviews. During the year ended December 31, 2010, we revised our methodology to identify more categories that have increased risk based on their specific loan type or adverse ratings.  This evaluation is inherently subjective, as it requires estimates that are susceptible to significant revision as more information becomes available.

 

Historically, our loan portfolio has primarily consisted of one- to four-family residential mortgage loans. The composition of our loan portfolio has gradually changed in recent years to include more one- to four-family residential investment properties, multi-family, commercial real estate and commercial business loans. In addition, our current strategic plan calls for increases in these loans. Management’s evaluation of the allowance for loan losses, the composition of the loan portfolio and increased risk associated with multi-family, commercial real estate and commercial business loans (because they present larger non-homogeneous credits and because they may be more sensitive to changes in economic conditions) may result in larger additions to the allowance for loan losses in future periods.

 

Although we believe that we use the best information available to establish the allowance for loan losses, future additions to the allowance may be necessary, based on estimates that are susceptible to change as a result of changes in economic conditions and other factors. In addition, the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, as an

integral part of its examination process, will periodically review our allowance for loan losses. Such agency may require us to recognize adjustments to the allowance, based on its judgments about information available to it at the time of its examination.

 

Investments

 

The Investment Policy is reviewed annually by management and any changes to the policy are recommended to and are subject to the approval of our Board of Directors. Authority to make investments under the approved Investment Policy guidelines is delegated to appropriate officers. While general investment strategies are developed by the Asset/Liability Committee and authorized by the Board of Directors, the execution of specific actions rests with our President and Chief Executive Officer or our Chief Financial Officer, who may act individually or jointly. Our President and Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer are both responsible for ensuring that the guidelines and requirements included in the Investment Policy are followed and that all securities are considered prudent for investment. Each of these individuals is authorized to execute investment transactions (purchases and sales) up to $2.0 million per transaction without the prior approval of the Executive Committee and within the scope of the established Investment Policy. Each transaction in excess of $2.0 million must receive prior approval of the Executive Committee. All investment transactions are reviewed at regularly scheduled meetings of the Board of Directors. The Executive Committee is comprised of our Chairman, Vice Chairman and five other non-employee directors.

 

Federally chartered savings institutions have authority to invest in various types of assets, including government-sponsored enterprise obligations, securities of various federal agencies, residential mortgage-backed securities, certain certificates of deposit of insured financial institutions, overnight and short-term loans to other banks, corporate debt instruments, debt instruments of municipalities and Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac equity securities.

 

Our investment portfolio at December 31, 2011, at amortized cost, included $502,000 in government-sponsored enterprise obligations. We also invest in residential mortgage-backed securities, all of which are guaranteed by United States Government agencies and government-sponsored enterprise obligations. At December 31, 2011, the amortized cost of our residential mortgage-backed securities portfolio totaled $5.8 million, or 2.9% of total assets, and included $4.8 million in fixed-rate and $1.0 million in adjustable-rate securities guaranteed by Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac or Ginnie Mae. Securities are classified as held-to-maturity or available-for-sale at the date of purchase. At December 31, 2011, we owned $3.1 million in Federal Home Loan Bank of Boston stock. As a member of Federal Home Loan Bank of Boston, we are required to purchase stock in the Federal Home Loan Bank of Boston, an amount of which is based on our level of outstanding advances.

Sources of Funds

 

General.  Deposits have traditionally been our primary source of funds for use in lending and investment activities. We also use borrowings, primarily Federal Home Loan Bank of Boston advances and to a lesser extent brokered deposits, to supplement cash flow needs, lengthen the maturities of liabilities for interest rate risk purposes and to manage the cost of funds. In addition, funds are derived from scheduled loan payments, investment maturities, loan prepayments, loan sales, retained earnings and income on earning assets. While scheduled loan payments and income on earning assets are relatively stable sources of funds, deposit inflows and outflows can vary widely and are influenced by prevailing interest rates, market conditions and levels of competition.

 

Deposits.  Our deposits are generated primarily from residents within our primary deposit market area, as 86.9% of total deposits at December 31, 2011, were from the Essex County market. Our strategic plan includes a greater emphasis on developing commercial business activities, both deposit and lending customer relationships. We offer a selection of deposit accounts, including demand accounts, NOW accounts, money market accounts, savings accounts and certificates of deposit. Deposit account terms vary, with the principal differences being the minimum balance required, the amount of time the funds must remain on deposit and the interest rate. We have used brokered deposits in the past and it is anticipated that their future use could increase. As of December 31, 2011, brokered deposits totaled $996,000.

 

Interest rates paid, maturity terms, service fees and withdrawal penalties are established on a periodic basis. Deposit rates and terms are based primarily on current operating strategies and market rates, liquidity requirements, rates paid by competitors and growth goals. Personalized customer service and long-standing relationships with customers are relied upon to attract and retain deposits.

 

The flow of deposits is influenced significantly by general economic conditions, changes in money market and other prevailing interest rates and competition. The variety of deposit accounts offered allows us to be competitive in obtaining funds and responding to changes in consumer demand. Based on experience, we believe that our deposits are relatively stable. However, the ability to attract and maintain deposits and the rates paid on these deposits, has been and will continue to be significantly affected by market conditions. At December 31, 2011, $45.4 million, or 30.1% of our deposit accounts were certificates of deposit, of which $27.6 million had maturities of one year or less.

The amount of securities collateralizing the agreements to repurchase is reflected in securities and the obligation to repurchase securities sold is reflected as a liability on our consolidated balance sheets.

 

Subsidiary Activities

 

Georgetown Securities Corporation is a wholly owned subsidiary of Georgetown Savings Bank established in 1995 as a Massachusetts securities corporation for the purpose of buying, selling and holding securities on its own behalf. The income earned on Georgetown Securities Corporation’s securities is subject to a significantly lower rate of state tax than that assessed on income earned on securities maintained at Georgetown Savings Bank. At December 31, 2011, Georgetown Securities Corporation had total assets of $8.4 million, all of which were in securities and cash to be invested.

 

Expense and Tax Allocation

 

Georgetown Savings Bank has entered into an agreement with Georgetown-Federal and Georgetown Bancorp, MHC to provide them with certain administrative support services for compensation not less than the fair market value of the services provided. In addition, Georgetown Savings Bank and Georgetown-Federal have entered into an agreement to establish a method for allocating and for reimbursing the payment of their consolidated tax liability.

 

Personnel

 

As of December 31, 2011, we had 42 full-time employees and six part-time employees. Our employees are not represented by any collective bargaining group. Management believes that we have good working relations with our employees.

SUPERVISION AND REGULATION

 

General

 

Georgetown Savings Bank is a federally chartered savings bank that is regulated, examined and supervised by the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation.  This regulation and supervision establishes a comprehensive framework of activities in which an institution may engage and is intended primarily for the protection of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation’s deposit insurance fund and depositors, and not for the protection of security holders.  Under this system of federal regulation, financial institutions are periodically examined to ensure that they satisfy applicable standards with respect to their capital adequacy, assets, management, earnings, liquidity and sensitivity to market interest rates.  Georgetown Savings Bank also is regulated to a lesser extent by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, or Federal Reserve Board, governing reserves to be maintained against deposits and other matters.  The Office of the Comptroller of the Currency examines Georgetown Savings Bank and prepares reports for the consideration of its Board of Directors on any operating deficiencies.  Georgetown Savings Bank’s relationship with its depositors and borrowers also is regulated to a great extent by federal law and, to a much lesser extent, state law, especially in matters concerning the ownership of deposit accounts and the form and content of Georgetown Savings Bank’s loan documents.  Georgetown Savings Bank is also a member of and owns stock in the Federal Home Loan Bank of Boston, which is one of the twelve regional banks in the Federal Home Loan Bank System.

 

As a savings and loan holding company following the conversion, New Georgetown will be required to comply with the rules and regulations of the Federal Reserve Board.  It will be required to file certain reports with

 

77



 

and will be subject to examination by and the enforcement authority of the Federal Reserve Board.  New Georgetown will also be subject to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission under the federal securities laws.

 

Any change in applicable laws or regulations, whether by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, the Federal Reserve Board or Congress, could have a material adverse impact on New Georgetown and Georgetown Savings Bank and their operations.

 

Set forth below is a brief description of material regulatory requirements that are or will be applicable to Georgetown Savings Bank and New Georgetown.  The description is limited to certain material aspects of the statutes and regulations addressed and is not intended to be a complete description of such statutes and regulations and their effects on Georgetown Savings Bank and New Georgetown.

 

Dodd-Frank Act

 

The Dodd-Frank Act significantly changed the bank regulatory structure and will affect the lending, investment, trading and operating activities of depository institutions and their holding companies.  The Dodd-Frank Act eliminated our primary federal regulator, the Office of Thrift Supervision, as of July 21, 2011, and required Georgetown Savings Bank to be supervised and examined by the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, the primary federal regulator for national banks.  On the same date, the Federal Reserve Board assumed regulatory jurisdiction over savings and loan holding companies, in addition to its role of supervising bank holding companies.

 

The Dodd-Frank Act also created a new Consumer Financial Protection Bureau with expansive powers to supervise and enforce consumer protection laws.  The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau has broad rule-making authority for a wide range of consumer protection laws that apply to all banks and savings institutions, including the authority to prohibit “unfair, deceptive or abusive” acts and practices.  The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau has examination and enforcement authority over all banks and savings institutions with more than $10 billion in assets.  Banks and savings institutions with $10 billion or less in assets, such as Georgetown Savings Bank, will continue to be examined by their applicable federal bank regulators.  The legislation gives state attorneys general the ability to enforce applicable federal consumer protection laws.

 

The Dodd-Frank Act also broadened the base for Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation assessments for deposit insurance, permanently increased the maximum amount of deposit insurance to $250,000 per depositor and provided non-interest bearing transaction accounts with unlimited deposit insurance through December 31, 2012.  The legislation also, among other things, requires originators of certain securitized loans to retain a portion of the credit risk, stipulates regulatory rate-setting for certain debit card interchange fees, repealed restrictions on the payment of interest on commercial demand deposits and contains a number of reforms related to mortgage originations.  The Dodd-Frank Act increased shareholder influence over boards of directors by requiring companies to give shareholders a non-binding vote on executive compensation and so-called “golden parachute” payments.  The legislation also directs the Federal Reserve Board to promulgate rules prohibiting excessive compensation paid to company executives, regardless of whether the company is publicly traded or not.

 

Many of the provisions of the Dodd-Frank Act are subject to delayed effective dates and/or require the issuance of implementing regulations.  Their impact on operations cannot yet fully be assessed.  However, there is a significant possibility that the Dodd-Frank Act will, in the long run, increase regulatory burden, compliance costs and interest expense for Georgetown Savings Bank and New Georgetown.

 

Business Activities

 

A federal savings bank derives its lending and investment powers from the Home Owners’ Loan Act, as amended, and the regulations of the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency.  Under these laws and regulations, Georgetown Savings Bank may originate mortgage loans secured by residential and commercial real estate, commercial business loans and consumer loans, and it may invest in certain types of debt securities and certain other

 

78



 

assets.  Certain types of lending, such as commercial and consumer loans, are subject to aggregate limits calculated as a specified percentage of Georgetown Savings Bank’s capital or assets.  Georgetown Savings Bank also may establish subsidiaries that may engage in a variety of activities, including some that are not otherwise permissible for Georgetown Savings Bank, including real estate investment and securities and insurance brokerage.

 

The Dodd-Frank Act removed federal statutory restrictions on the payment of interest on commercial demand deposit accounts, effective July 21, 2011.

 

Loans-to-One-Borrower

 

We generally may not make a loan or extend credit to a single or related group of borrowers in excess of 15% of our unimpaired capital and unimpaired surplus.  An additional amount may be lent, equal to 10% of unimpaired capital and unimpaired surplus, if the loan is secured by readily marketable collateral, which is defined to include certain financial instruments and bullion, but generally does not include real estate.  As of December 31, 2011, we were in compliance with our loans-to-one-borrower limitations.

 

Qualified Thrift Lender Test

 

We are required to satisfy a qualified thrift lender (“QTL”) test, under which we either must qualify as a “domestic building and loan” association as defined by the Internal Revenue Code or maintain at least 65% of our “portfolio assets” in “qualified thrift investments.”  “Qualified thrift investments” consist primarily of residential mortgages and related investments, including mortgage-backed and related securities.  “Portfolio assets” generally means total assets less specified liquid assets up to 20% of total assets, goodwill and other intangible assets and the value of property used to conduct business.  A savings institution that fails the qualified thrift lender test must operate under specified restrictions.  The Dodd-Frank Act made noncompliance with the QTL test also subject to agency enforcement action for a violation of law.  As of December 31, 2011, we maintained 82.8% of our portfolio assets in qualified thrift investments and, therefore, we met the qualified thrift lender test.

 

Standards for Safety and Soundness

 

Federal law requires each federal banking agency to prescribe for insured depository institutions under its jurisdiction standards relating to, among other things, internal controls, information systems and internal audit systems, loan documentation, credit underwriting, interest rate risk exposure, asset growth, employee compensation, and other operational and managerial standards as the agency deems appropriate.  The federal banking agencies adopted Interagency Guidelines Prescribing Standards for Safety and Soundness to implement the safety and soundness standards required under federal law.  The guidelines set forth the safety and soundness standards that the federal banking agencies use to identify and address problems at insured depository institutions before capital becomes impaired.  If the appropriate federal banking agency determines that an institution fails to meet any standard prescribed by the guidelines, the agency may require the institution to submit to the agency an acceptable plan to achieve compliance with the standard.  If an institution fails to submit or implement an acceptable plan, the appropriate federal banking agency may issue an enforceable order requiring correction of the deficiencies.

 

Capital Requirements

 

Federal regulations require savings institutions to meet three minimum capital standards: a 1.5% tangible capital ratio, a 4% leverage ratio (3% for institutions receiving the highest rating on the CAMELS rating system) and an 8% risk-based capital ratio.  In addition, the prompt corrective action standards discussed below also establish, in effect, a minimum 2% tangible capital standard, a 4% leverage ratio (3% for institutions receiving the highest rating on the CAMELS financial institution rating system) and, together with the risk-based capital standard itself, a 4% Tier 1 risk-based capital standard.  Federal regulations also require that in meeting the tangible, leverage and risk-based capital standards, institutions must generally deduct investments in and loans to subsidiaries engaged in activities as principal that are not permissible for a national bank.

 

79



 

The risk-based capital standard for savings institutions requires the maintenance of Tier 1 (core) and total capital (which is defined as core capital and supplementary capital) to risk-weighted assets of at least 4% and 8%, respectively. In determining the amount of risk-weighted assets, all assets, including certain off-balance sheet assets, are multiplied by a risk-weight factor of 0% to 100%, assigned by capital regulations based on the risks believed inherent in the type of asset. Core capital is defined as common shareholders’ equity (including retained earnings), certain noncumulative perpetual preferred stock and related surplus and minority interests in equity accounts of consolidated subsidiaries, less intangibles other than certain mortgage servicing rights and credit card relationships. The components of supplementary capital currently include cumulative preferred stock, long-term perpetual preferred stock, mandatory convertible securities, subordinated debt and intermediate preferred stock, the allowance for loan and lease losses limited to a maximum of 1.25% of risk-weighted assets, and up to 45% of unrealized gains on available-for-sale equity securities with readily determinable fair market values. Overall, the amount of supplementary capital included as part of total capital cannot exceed 100% of core capital.  Additionally, a savings institution that retains credit risk in connection with an asset sale may be required to maintain additional regulatory capital because of the recourse back to the savings bank.  In assessing an institution’s capital adequacy, the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency takes into consideration not only these numeric factors but also qualitative factors as well, and has the authority to establish higher capital requirements for individual associations where necessary.

 

At December 31, 2011, Georgetown Savings Bank met each of its capital requirements.

 

Prompt Corrective Regulatory Action

 

Under federal Prompt Corrective Action statute, the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency is required to take supervisory actions against undercapitalized savings institutions under its jurisdiction, the severity of which depends upon the institution’s level of capital.  A savings institution that has total risk-based capital of less than 8% or a leverage ratio or a Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio that generally is less than 4% is considered to be undercapitalized.  A savings institution that has total risk-based capital less than 6%, a Tier 1 core risk-based capital ratio of less than 3% or a leverage ratio that is less than 3% is considered to be “significantly undercapitalized.”  A savings institution that has a tangible capital to assets ratio equal to or less than 2% is deemed to be “critically undercapitalized.”

 

Generally, the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency is required to appoint a receiver or conservator for a savings institution that is “critically undercapitalized” within specific time frames.  The regulations also provide that a capital restoration plan must be filed with the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency within 45 days of the date a savings institution receives notice that it is “undercapitalized,” “significantly undercapitalized” or “critically undercapitalized.”  Any holding company for the savings institution required to submit a capital restoration plan must guarantee the lesser of an amount equal to 5% of the savings institution’s assets at the time it was notified or deemed to be undercapitalized by the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, or the amount necessary to restore the savings institution to adequately capitalized status.  This guarantee remains in place until the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency notifies the savings institution that it has maintained adequately capitalized status for each of four consecutive calendar quarters, and the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency has the authority to require payment and collect payment under the guarantee.  Various restrictions, such as on capital distributions and growth, also apply to “undercapitalized” institutions.  The Office of the Comptroller of the Currency may also take any one of a number of discretionary supervisory actions against undercapitalized institutions, including the issuance of a capital directive and the replacement of senior executive officers and directors.

 

80



 

Capital Distributions

 

Federal regulations restrict capital distributions by savings institutions, which include cash dividends, stock repurchases and other transactions charged to the capital account of a savings institution.  A federal savings institution must file an application with the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency for approval of the capital distribution if:

 

·                                          the total capital distributions for the applicable calendar year exceeds the sum of the institution’s net income for that year to date plus the institution’s retained net income for the preceding two years that is still available for dividend;

 

·                                          the institution would not be at least adequately capitalized following the distribution;

 

·                                          the distribution would violate any applicable statute, regulation, agreement or written regulatory condition; or

 

·                                          the institution is not eligible for expedited review of its filings (i.e., generally, institutions that do not have safety and soundness, compliance and Community Reinvestment Act ratings in the top two categories or fail a capital requirement).

 

A savings institutions that is a subsidiary of a holding company, which is the case with Georgetown Savings Bank, must file a notice with the Federal Reserve Board at least 30 days before the board of directors declares a dividend or approves a capital distribution.

 

Applications or notices may be denied if the institution will be undercapitalized after the dividend, the proposed dividend raises safety and soundness concerns or the proposed dividend would violate a law, regulation enforcement order or regulatory condition.

 

In the event that a savings institution’s capital falls below its regulatory requirements or it is notified by the regulatory agency that it is in need of more than normal supervision, its ability to make capital distributions would be restricted.  In addition, any proposed capital distribution could be prohibited if the regulatory agency determines that the distribution would constitute an unsafe or unsound practice.

 

Transactions with Related Parties

 

A savings institution’s authority to engage in transactions with related parties or “affiliates” is limited by Sections 23A and 23B of the Federal Reserve Act and its implementing regulation, Federal Reserve Board Regulation W.  The term “affiliate” generally means any company that controls or is under common control with an institution, including New Georgetown and its non-savings institution subsidiaries.  Applicable law limits the aggregate amount of “covered” transactions with any individual affiliate, including loans to the affiliate, to 10% of the capital and surplus of the savings institution.  The aggregate amount of covered transactions with all affiliates is limited to 20% of the savings institution’s capital and surplus.  Certain covered transactions with affiliates, such as loans to or guarantees issued on behalf of affiliates, are required to be secured by specified amounts of collateral.  Purchasing low quality assets from affiliates is generally prohibited.  Regulation W also provides that transactions with affiliates, including covered transactions, must be on terms and under circumstances, including credit standards, that are substantially the same or at least as favorable to the institution as those prevailing at the time for comparable transactions with non-affiliated companies.  In addition, savings institutions are prohibited by law from lending to any affiliate that is engaged in activities that are not permissible for bank holding companies and no savings institution may purchase the securities of any affiliate other than a subsidiary.

 

Our authority to extend credit to executive officers, directors and 10% or greater shareholders (“insiders”), as well as entities controlled by these persons, is governed by Sections 22(g) and 22(h) of the Federal Reserve Act and its implementing regulation, Federal Reserve Board Regulation O.  Among other things, loans to insiders must

 

81



 

be made on terms substantially the same as those offered to unaffiliated individuals and not involve more than the normal risk of repayment.  There is an exception for bank-wide lending programs that do not discriminate in favor of insiders.  Regulation O also places individual and aggregate limits on the amount of loans that may be made to insiders based, in part, on the institution’s capital position, and requires that certain prior board approval procedures be followed.  Extensions of credit to executive officers are subject to additional restrictions on the types and amounts of loans that may be made.  At December 31, 2011, we were in compliance with these regulations.

 

Enforcement

 

The Office of the Comptroller of the Currency has primary enforcement responsibility over federal savings institutions, including the authority to bring enforcement action against “institution-related parties,” including officers, directors, certain shareholders, and attorneys, appraisers and accountants who knowingly or recklessly participate in wrongful action likely to have an adverse effect on an insured institution.  Formal enforcement action may range from the issuance of a capital directive or cease and desist order to removal of officers and/or directors of the institution, receivership, conservatorship or the termination of deposit insurance.  Civil penalties cover a wide range of violations and actions, and range up to $25,000 per day, unless a finding of reckless disregard is made, in which case penalties may be as high as $1.0 million per day.

 

Deposit Insurance

 

Georgetown Savings Bank is a member of the Deposit Insurance Fund, which is administered by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation.  Deposit accounts in Georgetown Savings Bank are insured up to a maximum of $250,000 for each separately insured depositor. In addition, certain non-interest-bearing transaction accounts are fully insured, regardless of the dollar amount, until December 31, 2012.

 

The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation imposes an assessment for deposit insurance on all depository institutions.  Under the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation’s risk-based assessment system, insured institutions are assigned to risk categories based on supervisory evaluations, regulatory capital levels and certain other factors.  An institution’s assessment rate depends upon the category to which it is assigned and certain adjustments specified by Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation regulations, with less risky institutions paying lower rates.  Assessment rates (inclusive of possible adjustments) currently range from 2 ½ to 45 basis points of each institution’s total assets less tangible capital.  The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation may increase or decrease the scale uniformly, except that no adjustment can deviate more than two basis points from the base scale without notice and comment rulemaking.  The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation’s current system represents a change, required by the Dodd-Frank Act, from its prior practice of basing the assessment on an institution’s volume of deposits.

 

In addition to the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation assessments, the Financing Corporation is authorized to impose and collect, through the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, assessments for anticipated payments, issuance costs and custodial fees on bonds issued by the Financing Corporation in the 1980s to recapitalize the former Federal Savings and Loan Insurance Corporation.  The bonds issued by the Financing Corporation are due to mature in 2017 through 2019.  For the quarter ended December 31, 2011, the annualized Financing Corporation assessment was equal to 0.68 basis points of total assets less tangible capital.

 

The Dodd-Frank Act increased the minimum target Deposit Insurance Fund ratio from 1.15% of estimated insured deposits to 1.35% of estimated insured deposits.  The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation must seek to achieve the 1.35% ratio by September 30, 2020.  Insured institutions with assets of $10 billion or more are supposed to fund the increase.  The Dodd-Frank Act eliminated the 1.5% maximum fund ratio, instead leaving it to the discretion of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation has exercised that discretion by establishing a long-term fund ratio of 2%.

 

The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation has authority to increase insurance assessments.  Any significant increases would have an adverse effect on the operating expenses and results of operations of Georgetown Savings Bank.  Management cannot predict what assessment rates will be in the future.

 

82



 

Insurance of deposits may be terminated by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation upon a finding that an institution has engaged in unsafe or unsound practices, is in an unsafe or unsound condition to continue operations or has violated any applicable law, regulation, rule, order or condition imposed by the FDIC.  Management of Georgetown Savings Bank does not know of any practice, condition or violation that may lead to termination of our deposit insurance.

 

Federal Home Loan Bank System

 

Georgetown Savings Bank is a member of the Federal Home Loan Bank System, which consists of 12 regional Federal Home Loan Banks.  The Federal Home Loan Bank System provides a central credit facility primarily for member institutions.  As a member of the Federal Home Loan Bank of Boston, we are required to acquire and hold a specified amount of shares of capital stock in Federal Home Loan Bank.

 

Community Reinvestment Act and Fair Lending Laws

 

Savings institutions have a responsibility under the Community Reinvestment Act and related regulations to help meet the credit needs of their communities, including low- and moderate-income neighborhoods.  An institution’s failure to comply with the provisions of the Community Reinvestment Act could, at a minimum, result in regulatory restrictions on certain activities such as branching and acquisitions.  Georgetown Savings Bank received a “Satisfactory” Community Reinvestment Act rating in its most recent examination.

 

Other Regulations

 

Interest and other charges collected or contracted for by Georgetown Savings Bank are subject to state usury laws and federal laws concerning interest rates.  Georgetown Savings Bank’s operations are also subject to federal laws applicable to credit transactions, such as the:

 

·                                          Truth-In-Lending Act, governing disclosures of credit terms to consumer borrowers;

 

·                                          Real Estate Settlement Procedures Act, requiring that borrowers for mortgage loans for one- to four-family residential real estate receive various disclosures, including good faith estimates of settlement costs, lender servicing and escrow account practices, and prohibiting certain practices that increase the cost of settlement services;

 

·                                          Home Mortgage Disclosure Act, requiring financial institutions to provide information to enable the public and public officials to determine whether a financial institution is fulfilling its obligation to help meet the housing needs of the community it serves;

 

·                                          Equal Credit Opportunity Act, prohibiting discrimination on the basis of race, creed or other prohibited factors in extending credit;

 

·                                          Fair Credit Reporting Act, governing the use and provision of information to credit reporting agencies;

 

·                                          Fair Debt Collection Act, governing the manner in which consumer debts may be collected by collection agencies;

 

·                                          Truth in Savings Act; and

 

·                                          Rules and regulations of the various federal agencies charged with the responsibility of implementing such federal laws.

 

83



 

The operations of Georgetown Savings Bank also are subject to the:

 

·                                          Right to Financial Privacy Act, which imposes a duty to maintain confidentiality of consumer financial records and prescribes procedures for complying with administrative subpoenas of financial records;

·                                          Check Clearing for the 21st Century Act (also known as “Check 21”), which gives “substitute checks,” such as digital check images and copies made from that image, the same legal standing as the original paper check;

 

·                                          The USA PATRIOT Act, which requires banks and savings institutions to, among other things, establish broadened anti-money laundering compliance programs and due diligence policies and controls to ensure the detection and reporting of money laundering.  Such required compliance programs are intended to supplement pre-existing compliance requirements that apply to financial institutions under the Bank Secrecy Act and the Office of Foreign Assets Control regulations; and

 

·                                          The Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act, which places limitations on the sharing of consumer financial information by financial institutions with unaffiliated third parties and requires all financial institutions offering products or services to retail customers to provide such customers with the financial institution’s privacy policy and allow such customers the opportunity to “opt out” of the sharing of certain personal financial information with unaffiliated third parties.

 

Holding Company Regulation

 

New Georgetown will be a unitary savings and loan holding company subject to regulation and supervision by the Federal Reserve Board, which replaced the Office of Thrift Supervision in that capacity due to the Dodd-Frank Act regulatory restructuring.  The Federal Reserve Board will have enforcement authority over New Georgetown and its non-savings institution subsidiaries.  Among other things, that authority permits the Federal Reserve Board to restrict or prohibit activities that are determined to be a risk to Georgetown Savings Bank.

 

As a savings and loan holding company, New Georgetown’s activities will be limited to those activities permissible by law for financial holding companies or multiple savings and loan holding companies.  A financial holding company may engage in activities that are financial in nature, incidental to financial activities or complementary to a financial activity.  Such activities include lending activities, insurance and underwriting equity securities.  The Dodd-Frank Act added that any savings and loan holding company that engages in activities permissible for a financial holding company must meet the qualitative requirements for a bank holding company to be a financial holding company and conduct the activities in accordance with the requirements that would apply to a financial holding company’s conduct of the activity.

 

Federal law prohibits a savings and loan holding company, directly or indirectly, or through one or more subsidiaries, from acquiring more than 5% of another savings institution or savings and loan holding company without prior written approval of the Federal Reserve Board and from acquiring or retaining control of any depository not insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation.   In evaluating applications by holding companies to acquire savings institutions, the Federal Reserve Board must consider such things as the financial and managerial resources and future prospects of the company and institution involved, the effect of the acquisition on the risk to the federal deposit insurance fund, the convenience and needs of the community and competitive factors.  An acquisition by a savings and loan holding company of a savings institution in another state to be held as a separate subsidiary may not be approved unless it is a supervisory acquisition under Section 13(k) of the Federal

 

84



 

Deposit Insurance Act or the law of the state in which the target is located authorizes such acquisitions by out-of-state companies.

 

Savings and loan holding companies have not historically been subjected to consolidated regulatory capital requirements.  However, the Dodd-Frank Act requires the Federal Reserve Board to set for all depository institution holding companies minimum consolidated capital levels that are as stringent as those required for the insured depository subsidiaries.  The components of Tier 1 capital would be restricted to capital instruments that are currently considered to be Tier 1 capital for insured depository institutions, which would exclude instruments such as trust preferred securities and cumulative preferred stock.  Instruments issued before May 19, 2010 are grandfathered for companies of consolidated assets of $15 billion or less.  Bank holding companies with assets of less than $500 million are exempt from the consolidated capital requirements, but it is not known at this time whether such an exemption will apply to savings and loan holding companies.  Holding companies that were not regulated by the Federal Reserve Board as of May 19, 2010 receive a five year phase-in from the July 21, 2010 date of enactment of the Dodd-Frank Act.

 

The Dodd-Frank Act extends the “source of strength” doctrine to savings and loan holding companies.  The regulatory agencies must promulgate regulations implementing the “source of strength” policy that requires holding companies act as a source of strength to their subsidiary depository institutions by providing capital, liquidity and other support in times of financial stress.

 

The Federal Reserve Board has issued a policy statement regarding the payment of dividends and the repurchase of shares of common stock by bank holding companies that it has made applicable to savings and loan holding companies as well.  In general, the policy provides that dividends should be paid only out of current earnings and only if the prospective rate of earnings retention by the holding company appears consistent with the organization’s capital needs, asset quality and overall financial condition.  Regulatory guidance provides for prior regulatory review of capital distributions in certain circumstances such as where the company’s net income for the past four quarters, net of dividends previously paid over that period, is insufficient to fully fund the dividend or the company’s overall rate of earnings retention is inconsistent with the company’s capital needs and overall financial condition.  The ability of a holding company to pay dividends may be restricted if a subsidiary bank becomes undercapitalized.  The policy statement also provides for regulatory review prior to a holding company redeeming or repurchasing regulatory capital instruments when the holding company is experiencing financial weaknesses or redeeming or repurchasing common stock or perpetual preferred stock that would result in a net reduction as of the end of a quarter in the amount of such equity instruments outstanding compared with the beginning of the quarter in which the redemption or repurchase occurred. These regulatory policies could affect the ability of New Georgetown to pay dividends, repurchase shares of common stock or otherwise engage in capital distributions.

 

Federal Securities Laws

 

New Georgetown common stock will be registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission after the conversion and stock offering.  New Georgetown will be subject to the information, proxy solicitation, insider trading restrictions and other requirements under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

 

The registration under the Securities Act of 1933 of shares of common stock issued in New Georgetown’s public offering does not cover the resale of those shares.  Shares of common stock purchased by persons who are not affiliates of New Georgetown may be resold without registration.  Shares purchased by an affiliate of New Georgetown will be subject to the resale restrictions of Rule 144 under the Securities Act of 1933.  If New Georgetown meets the current public information requirements of Rule 144 under the Securities Act of 1933, each affiliate of New Georgetown that complies with the other conditions of Rule 144, including those that require the affiliate’s sale to be aggregated with those of other persons, would be able to sell in the public market, without registration, a number of shares not to exceed, in any three-month period, the greater of 1% of the outstanding shares of New Georgetown, or the average weekly volume of trading in the shares during the preceding four calendar weeks. In the future, New Georgetown may permit affiliates to have their shares registered for sale under the Securities Act of 1933.

Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002

 

The Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 addresses, among other issues, corporate governance, auditing and accounting, executive compensation, and enhanced and timely disclosure of corporate information. As directed by the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer will be required to certify that our quarterly and annual reports do not contain any untrue statement of a material fact.  The rules adopted by the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act have several requirements, including having these officers certify that: they are responsible for establishing, maintaining and regularly evaluating the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting; they have made certain disclosures to our auditors and the audit committee of the board of directors about our internal control over financial reporting; and they have included information in our quarterly and annual reports about their evaluation and whether there have been changes in our internal control over financial reporting or in other factors that could materially affect internal control over financial reporting.  We have existing policies, procedures and systems designed to comply with these regulations, and we are further enhancing and documenting such policies, procedures and systems to ensure continued compliance with these regulations.

 

Change in Control Regulations

 

Under the Change in Bank Control Act, no person may acquire control of a savings and loan holding company such as New Georgetown unless the Federal Reserve Board has been given 60 days’ prior written notice and has not issued a notice disapproving the proposed acquisition, taking into consideration certain factors, including the financial and managerial resources of the acquirer and the competitive effects of the acquisition.

 

In addition, federal regulations provide that no company may acquire control of a savings and loan holding company without the prior approval of the Federal Reserve Board.  Any company that acquires such control becomes a “savings and loan holding company” subject to registration, examination and regulation by the Federal Reserve Board.  Control, as defined under federal law, means ownership, control of or holding irrevocable proxies representing more than 25% of any class of voting stock, control in any manner of the election of a majority of the institution’s directors, or a determination by the regulator that the acquiror has the power to direct, or directly or indirectly to exercise a controlling influence over, the management or policies of the institution.  Acquisition of more than 10% of any class of a savings and loan holding company’s voting stock constitutes a rebuttable determination of control under the regulations under certain circumstances including where, as will be the case with New Georgetown, the issuer has registered securities under Section 12 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

 

TAXATION

 

Georgetown-Federal and Georgetown Savings Bank are, and New Georgetown will be, subject to income taxation in the same general manner as other corporations, with some exceptions discussed below.  The following discussion of federal and state taxation is intended only to summarize certain pertinent income tax matters and is not a comprehensive description of the tax rules applicable to Georgetown-Federal, New Georgetown or Georgetown Savings Bank.

 

Federal Taxation

 

GeneralGeorgetown Savings Bank’s federal tax returns are not currently under audit, and have not been audited during the past five years.  In March 2011, Georgetown Bancorp, MHC, Georgetown-Federal, Georgetown Savings Bank and Georgetown Security Corporation changed their tax year from June 30 to December 31.  This change became effective with the December 31, 2010 tax returns.

 

Method of AccountingFor federal income tax purposes, Georgetown-Federal currently reports its income and expenses on the accrual method of accounting and uses a tax year ending December 31 for filing its federal and state income tax returns.

 

86



 

Bad Debt ReservesGeorgetown Savings Bank is permitted to establish a reserve for bad debts and to make annual additions to the reserve. These additions can, within specified formula limits, be deducted in arriving at our taxable income. Pursuant to the Small Business Protection Act of 1996 (the “1996 Act”), savings institutions were required to recapture any excess reserves over those established as of October 31, 1988 (base year reserve).

 

Taxable Distributions and RecapturePrior to the 1996 Act, bad debt reserves created prior to November 1, 1988 were subject to recapture into taxable income should Georgetown Savings Bank fail to meet certain thrift asset and definitional tests. Federal legislation has eliminated these thrift related recapture rules.

 

At December 31, 2011, our total federal pre-1988 base year reserve was $723,000. However, under current law, pre-1988 base year reserves remain subject to recapture should Georgetown Savings Bank make certain non-dividend distributions, repurchase any of its stock, pay dividends in excess of tax earnings and profits, or cease to maintain a bank charter.

 

Alternative Minimum TaxThe Internal Revenue Code imposes an alternative minimum tax (“AMT”) at a rate of 20% on a base of regular taxable income plus certain tax preferences (“alternative minimum taxable income” or “AMTI”). The AMT is payable to the extent such AMTI is in excess of an exemption amount and the AMT exceeds the regular income tax. Net operating losses can offset no more than 90% of AMTI. Certain payments of alternative minimum tax may be used as credits against regular tax liabilities in future years.

 

Net Operating Loss Carryovers.  A financial institution may carry back net operating losses to the preceding two taxable years and forward to the succeeding 20 taxable years. At December 31, 2011, Georgetown Savings Bank had no net operating loss carryforwards for federal income tax purposes.

 

Capital Loss Carryovers.  A financial institution may carry back capital losses to the preceding three taxable years and forward to the succeeding five taxable years. At December 31, 2011, Georgetown Savings Bank had no capital loss carryforward for federal income tax purposes.

 

Corporate Dividends-Received Deduction Georgetown-Federal may exclude from its income 100% of dividends received from Georgetown Savings Bank as a member of the same affiliated group of corporations. The corporate dividends-received deduction is 80% in the case of dividends received from corporations in which a corporate recipient owns more than 20% of the stock of a corporation distributing a dividend, and corporations which own less than 20% of the stock of a corporation distributing a dividend may deduct only 70% of dividends received or accrued on their behalf.

 

State Taxation

 

For Massachusetts income tax purposes, a consolidated tax return could not be filed for tax years beginning before January 1, 2009.  Instead, Georgetown-Federal, Georgetown Savings Bank, and Georgetown Savings Bank’s subsidiary, Georgetown Securities Corporation filed separate annual income tax returns.  For tax years beginning after December 31, 2008, Georgetown-Federal and Georgetown Savings Bank were required to file a combined return pursuant to a Massachusetts law change enacted in July 2008, unless Georgetown-Federal elects security corporation status.

 

Georgetown Savings Bank files Massachusetts Financial Institution income tax returns and was subject to an annual Massachusetts tax at a rate of 9.5% of its net income for the fiscal period ended December 31, 2011, 10.0% for the fiscal period ended December 31, 2010, and 10.5% for the fiscal periods ended June 30, 2010 and 2009. Massachusetts net income is defined as gross income from all sources without any exclusions, less the following deductions: all deductions (but not credits) which are allowable under the Internal Revenue Code except for those deductions under the Internal Revenue Code relating to (1) dividends received, (2) losses sustained in other taxable years, and (3) income or franchise taxes imposed by any state in the United States or a political subdivision.

 

87



 

Georgetown-Federal is required to file a Massachusetts income tax return and is generally subject to a state income tax rate that is the same rate as the tax rate for financial institutions in Massachusetts.  However, if Georgetown-Federal meets certain requirements, it may be eligible to be taxed as a Massachusetts securities corporation.  Bank holding companies that are so classified are subject to a state tax rate of 0.33% of their gross income.  As of December 31, 2011, Georgetown-Federal has not applied for security corporation status, as there is an immaterial amount of state taxable income.

 

Georgetown Securities Corporation is taxed as a Massachusetts securities corporation, and is subject to a state tax rate of 1.32% of its gross income.

 

On July 3, 2008, the financial institution tax rate was lowered from 10.5% to 10.0% for years beginning in 2010, 9.5% for years beginning in 2011, and 9.0% for years beginning in 2012 and thereafter. Therefore, the tax rate used to compute the deferred tax asset was reduced for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2009, which resulted in a reduction in the net deferred tax asset of $15,000.

 

As a Maryland business corporation, New Georgetown will be required to file an annual report with and pay franchise taxes to the state of Maryland.

 

The state tax returns of Georgetown Bancorp, Inc., Georgetown Savings Bank and Georgetown Securities Corporation are not currently under audit, and have not been audited during the past five years.

The Business Background of Our Directors and Executive Officers

 

The business experience for the past five years of each of our directors and executive officers is set forth below.  With respect to directors, the biographies also contain information regarding the person’s experience, qualifications, attributes or skills that caused the Nominating Committee and the board of directors to determine that the person should serve as a director.  Each director is also a director of Georgetown Savings Bank and Georgetown Bancorp, MHC.  Unless otherwise indicated, directors and executive officers have held their positions for the past five years.

 

All of our directors are residents of the communities served by Georgetown-Federal and Georgetown Savings Bank and many of such individuals have operated, or currently operate, businesses located in such communities.  As a result, each director has significant knowledge of the businesses that operate in our market area, an understanding of the general real estate market, values and trends in such communities and an understanding of the overall demographics of such communities.  Additionally, as residents of such communities, each director has direct knowledge of the trends and developments occurring in such communities.  As the proposed holding company for a community banking institution, we believe that the local knowledge and experience of our directors will assist us in assessing the credit and banking needs of our customers, developing products and services to better serve our customers and assessing the risks inherent in our lending operations, and provides us with greater business development opportunities.  As local residents, our directors are also exposed to the advertising, product offerings and community development efforts of competing institutions which, in turn, assists us in structuring our marketing efforts and community outreach programs.

Transactions With Certain Related Persons

 

All transactions between Georgetown-Federal and its executive officers, directors, holders of 10% or more of the shares of its common stock and affiliates thereof, are on terms no less favorable to Georgetown-Federal than could have been obtained by it in arm’s-length negotiations with unaffiliated persons.  Such transactions must be approved by the Audit Committee of Georgetown-Federal following a review for potential conflicts of interest.  In the ordinary course of business, Georgetown Savings Bank makes loans available to its directors, officers and employees.  These loans are made in the ordinary course of business on substantially the same terms, including interest rate and collateral, as those prevailing at the time for comparable loans with persons not related to Georgetown Savings Bank.  These loans neither involve more than the normal risk of collectibility nor present other unfavorable features.

Section 402 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 generally prohibits an issuer from: (1) extending or maintaining credit; (2) arranging for the extension of credit; or (3) renewing an extension of credit in the form of a personal loan for an officer or director.  There are several exceptions to this general prohibition, one of which is applicable to Georgetown-Federal.  Section 402 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 does not apply to loans made by a depository institution that is insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation and is subject to the insider lending restrictions of the Federal Reserve Act.  All loans to Georgetown Savings Bank’s directors and officers are made in conformity with the Federal Reserve Act and applicable regulations.

 

Executive Compensation

 

The Board of Directors’ philosophy is to align executive compensation with the interests of its stockholders and to determine appropriate compensation levels that will enable it to meet the following objectives:

 

·                                          To attract, retain and motivate an experienced, competent executive management team;

 

·                                          To reward the executive management team for the enhancement of shareholder value based on annual earnings performance and the market price of Georgetown-Federal’s stock;

 

·                                          To provide compensation rewards that are adequately balanced between short-term and long-term performance goals;

 

·                                          To encourage ownership of Georgetown-Federal’s common stock through stock-based compensation; and

 

·                                          To maintain compensation levels that are competitive with other financial institutions and particularly those in Georgetown-Federal’s peer group based on asset size and market area.

 

The Board of Directors considers a number of factors in its decisions regarding executive compensation and benefits including, but not limited to, the level of responsibility and performance of the individual executive officer, the overall performance of Georgetown-Federal, and consideration of industry, community bank peers and local market conditions. Base salary levels of Georgetown-Federal’s and Georgetown Savings Bank’s executive officers are set to reflect the duties and responsibilities inherent in the position and to reflect competitive conditions in the banking business in Georgetown-Federal’s market area. In setting base salaries, the Board of Directors also considers a number of factors relating to each executive officer, including individual performance, job responsibilities, experience level, ability and the knowledge of the position, and overall performance of Georgetown-Federal and the Georgetown Savings Bank.  These factors are considered subjectively, and where possible quantitatively, and are weighted partially by those aspects deemed more significant than others.  Such a weighting of these evaluation factors will vary from year to year in response to the strategic plan and current market conditions. The Board of Directors also considers the recommendations of the Chief Executive Officer with respect to the compensation of the other executive officers.  The Board of Directors and the Chief Executive Officer review the same information in connection with these performance evaluations and related recommendations of these executives.

 

The Board of Directors increased the base salary levels of Messrs. Balletto, Kennedy and Bryan by $5,849, $3,840 and $4,650, respectively, in the year ended December 31, 2011.

 

The compensation committee did not use a compensation consultant in determining director or executive officer compensation for the year ended December 31, 2011.

Benefit Plans

 

401(k) Plan.  Georgetown Savings Bank maintains the Savings Bank Employee Retirement Association (SBERA) 401(k) Plan, which is a qualified, tax-exempt profit sharing plan with a salary deferral feature under Section 401(k) of the Code (the “401(k) Plan”).  All employees who have attained age 21 and have completed one year of employment during which they worked at least 1,000 hours are eligible to participate.  Under the 401(k) Plan, participants are permitted to make salary reduction contributions up to the lesser of 75% of compensation or $17,000 (as indexed annually).  For these purposes, “compensation” includes wages reported on federal income tax form W-2, with all pre-tax contributions added, but does not include compensation in excess of the tax law limits. Georgetown Savings Bank will make a matching contribution, equal to 50% of the employee’s contribution.  The matching contribution will not exceed 3% of an employee’s salary.  In addition, Georgetown Savings Bank will contribute an additional amount to participant accounts equal to at least 3% of the participant’s compensation. All employee and employer contributions and earnings thereon are fully and immediately vested. A participant may withdraw salary reduction contributions in the event the participant suffers a financial hardship.  The 401(k) Plan permits loans to participants.  The 401(k) Plan permits employees to direct the investment of their own accounts into various investment options.  Participants are entitled to benefit payments upon termination of employment due to normal retirement, early retirement at or after age 59½, disability or death.  Benefits will be distributed in the form of lump sum or installment payments.  Georgetown Savings Bank has established an employer stock fund in the 401(k) Plan so that participants can acquire an interest in the common stock of Georgetown-Federal through their accounts in the 401(k) Plan.

 

Incentive Compensation Plan.  Georgetown Savings Bank maintains an incentive compensation plan to provide incentives and awards to employees in order to support Georgetown Savings Bank’s organizational objectives and financial goals. Full-time and part-time employees employed for a minimum of six continuous months during the plan year are eligible to participate in the incentive compensation plan.  Eligible participants who have been employed by Georgetown Savings Bank for less than one year may receive a prorated incentive award.  The award is calculated based on the achievement of company-wide, department and individual goals, the mix and weighting of which will vary from year to year and which are approved annually by the Board of Directors. Distribution of the incentive award is generally made within 30 days of the end of the plan year. Employees whose performance level does not meet expectations may not be eligible for an incentive payout.

 

For the year ended December 31, 2011, Mr. Balletto’s plan provided for a target bonus of $33,867, or 18% of his current salary, with the following performance categories: (i) achievement of a return-on-assets (ROA) target; and (ii) achievement of an efficiency ratio target.  For the year ended December 31, 2011, Mr. Kennedy’s plan provided for a target bonus of $14,080, or 11% of his current salary, with the following performance categories: (i) achievement of an ROA target; (ii) achievement of a net interest margin percentage; and (iii) achievement of a non-interest expense level.  For the year ended December 31, 2011, Mr. Bryan’s plan provided for a target bonus of $16,578, or 11% of his current salary, with the following performance categories: (i) achievement of an ROA target; (ii) achievement of a mortgage banking income target; and (iii) achievement of a core interest rate spread (as defined) target.

 

Employment Agreements. Georgetown Savings Bank has entered into employment agreements with Messrs. Balletto and Kennedy, which agreements were amended and restated in April 2012.  Each of these agreements has a term of 36 months.  On an annual basis, the Board of Directors of Georgetown Savings Bank will conduct a performance review of Mr. Balletto’s performance and Mr. Balletto, as President and Chief Executive Officer, will conduct a performance review of Mr. Kennedy’s performance, which shall be further reviewed by the Board of Directors.  At least six months prior to the expiration of the term of the employment agreements, the Board of Directors will review each executive’s performance for purposes of determining whether to renew the agreements for an additional term of up to three years.  The Board’s decision whether or not to renew each agreement will be provided in a written notice to the applicable executive at least 60 days prior to the expiration of the term.

 

Under the agreements, the base salaries for Messrs. Balletto and Kennedy are $194,000 and $131,840, respectively.  In addition to the base salary, each agreement provides for, among other things, participation in other benefits as provided to other full time employees of Georgetown Savings Bank.  The agreements also acknowledge

 

95



 

that the executives and Georgetown Savings Bank have entered into endorsement split dollar agreements with the executives with a pre-retirement death benefit of $2.0 million for Mr. Balletto and $1.0 million for Mr. Kennedy.  The employment agreements require Georgetown Savings Bank to make a tax-adjusted compensation payment towards the purchase of a life insurance policy to be owned by the executive with a death benefit of $1.0 million.

 

In addition, the agreements provide for reimbursement of ordinary and necessary business expenses, incurred in connection with the performance of the duties under the respective agreements and subject to the approval of the Board of Directors of Georgetown Savings Bank.

 

The agreements provide for termination by Georgetown Savings Bank for cause at any time, in which event the executive will have no right to receive compensation or other benefits for any period after termination.  In the event the executive’s employment is terminated by Georgetown Savings Bank for any reason, including a resignation for good reason (as defined in the employment agreements), but excluding termination due to retirement or disability or for cause or for termination following a change in control, the executive would be entitled to a payment equal to two times, in the case of Mr. Balletto, and one times, in the case of Mr. Kennedy,  the sum of the highest annual rate of base salary, as well as the continuation of life insurance (including coverage under the endorsement split dollar agreement), medical and dental insurance coverage for two years in the case of Mr. Balletto and one year in the case of Mr. Kennedy.  In addition, the executive would be entitled to a cash payment equal to two times, in the case of Mr. Balletto, and one times in the case of Mr. Kennedy, the tax-adjusted compensation payment towards the individually-owned life insurance policy.  The executive would also fully vest in all non-vested stock options and/or restricted stock that have been granted to him.  In the event such termination occurs following a change in control, each executive would be entitled to the payment of a cash severance payment equal to three times his highest annual rate of base salary and three times the tax-adjusted compensation payment towards individually-owned life insurance.  The executive would also fully vest in all non-vested stock options and/or restricted stock that have been granted to him.  For purposes of the executive’s ability to resign and receive a payment under the agreement, “good reason” would include the occurrence of any of the following events: (i) a failure to elect or reelect or to appoint or reappoint the executive to the executive position; (ii) a substantial adverse and material change in executive’s function, duties or responsibilities, (iii) a material reduction to base salary and benefits, from those being provided as of the effective date of the employment agreement (except for any reduction that is part of an employee-wide reduction in benefits), (iv) a relocation of executive’s principal place of employment more than 25 miles from Georgetown Savings Bank’s principal executive offices as determined at the date of the agreement, (v) a liquidation or dissolution of Georgetown Savings Bank, (vi) a material breach of the employment agreement by Georgetown Savings Bank, or (vii) the failure of the Board to renew the employment agreement or provide a similar employment agreement at the end of the current term by issuing a non-renewal notice to the executive no later than 60 days before the end of the term.  If an event constituting “good reason” occurs, the executive is required to give Georgetown Savings Bank notice within 90 days (15 days if the good reason is non-renewal of the agreement), and Georgetown Savings Bank will have 30 days to correct the good reason, however, the 30 day period may be waived by Georgetown Savings Bank.

 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, as a condition to receiving the payments set forth above, Messrs. Balletto and Kennedy shall be required to execute a release of claims against Georgetown Savings Bank, Georgetown-Federal and any affiliate.  If the payments to either executive under their respective agreements made in connection with a change in control would result in an excess parachute payment under Section 280G of the Internal Revenue Code, the benefits payable to such executive would be reduced to avoid the excess parachute payment. The reduction would be up to an amount, the value of which results in a benefit that is one dollar less than the amount that would trigger an excess parachute payment.

 

In the event that their employment was terminated for a reason entitling them to severance payments under the employment agreements, Messrs. Balletto and Kennedy would receive an aggregate cash severance payment of approximately $450,700 and $158,178, respectively, if the event of termination occurred prior to a change in control and $676,050 and $474,535, respectively, if the termination occurred following a change in control, based upon current levels of compensation, subject to reduction to avoid an excess parachute payment, if applicable. The cash severance payment will be paid within 30 days of termination.

 

96



 

Under each employment agreement, if an executive is terminated due to disability (as defined in his  employment agreement), he will be entitled to continued life insurance and non-taxable medical and dental coverage substantially comparable to the coverage maintained prior to termination due to disability (except to the extent such coverage is changed for all employees or not available on an individual basis following disability) until the earlier of:  (i) the executive’s return to full-time employment with Georgetown Savings Bank; (ii) the executive’s employment by another employer; (iii) the executive’s attainment of age 65; (iv) the executive’s death, or (v) 24 months following the executive’s termination due to disability.

 

Upon retirement at age 65 or in accordance with any retirement policy established by the Board of Directors and agreed to, in writing, by the executive, the executive will be entitled to benefits under such retirement policy and other plans to which he is a party but shall not be entitled to any benefit payments specifically as a result of the employment agreement.

 

Each employment agreement requires the executive not to compete with Georgetown Savings Bank for a period of one year following a termination of employment for which the executive receives severance payments as the result of an involuntary termination or resignation for good reason (other than a termination of employment following a change in control).

 

In addition, New Georgetown has entered into three-year employment agreements with Messrs. Balletto and Kennedy, on substantially the same terms as the employment agreements with Georgetown Savings Bank, except as follows.  The agreements with New Georgetown will not have an automatic reduction in benefits in the event of an excess parachute payment.  In addition, certain regulatory requirements that are only required to be included in employment agreements between the executives and Georgetown Savings Bank, have not been included in the employment agreements with New Georgetown.  The New Georgetown employment agreements will not provide duplicative benefits, but rather, reinforce the obligation of Georgetown Savings Bank by providing for the payments required under the employment agreements to the extent that such payments are not or cannot be made by Georgetown Savings Bank.  The New Georgetown employment agreements will become effective upon the completion of the conversion and offering.

 

Supplemental Disability Benefit Plan for Senior Executives.   In connection with the restatement of the Georgetown Savings Bank employment agreements in April 2012, Georgetown Savings Bank entered into a supplemental disability benefit plan for the benefit of Messrs. Balletto and Kennedy.   A similar benefit had previously been provided under the executives’ prior employment agreements but was removed in the 2012 employment agreements and incorporated into a separate plan document. Under this plan, in the event the executive suffers a disability covered under the plan, the executive will be entitled to 66% of the sum of their base salary and average bonus paid over the last 36 months, reduced by (x) the maximum disability benefit paid or expected to be paid to the executive under the group disability benefit program sponsored by Georgetown Savings Bank and (y) any disability benefit paid or expected to be paid under any disability insurance plan purchased by the executive with a payment from Georgetown Savings Bank.  In the event that the disability policy identified in “(x)” or “(y)” fails to pay a disability benefit to the executive that would be expected to be paid under said policy or program, Georgetown Savings Bank generally will not be liable to pay such benefit under this plan but will only be liable for payment of the disability benefit as determined under the formula set forth above.  The compensation committee of Georgetown Savings Bank will be the administrator of the plan.  The compensation committee shall determine, with objective medical input, whether an executive is disabled.  For these purposes, disability (or disabled) means that the executive has suffered a disability as defined in the Georgetown Savings Bank’s group disability policy.

 

Change in Control Agreement.  Georgetown Savings Bank has entered into a change in control agreement with Philip J. Bryan.  The change in control agreement has a term of 12 months.  Subject to a comprehensive review by the President and Chief Executive Officer of Georgetown Savings Bank within 30 days prior to the anniversary date of the agreement and his recommendation of renewal to the Board of Directors, the agreement may be renewed by the Board of Directors for an additional 12 months.  If the Board of Directors determines not to renew the agreement and gives Mr. Bryan timely written notice of non-renewal, the change in control agreement will terminate on the anniversary date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the change in control agreement is in effect on the

 

97



 

effective date of a change in control, the agreement will automatically renew on such date and will expire 12 months following the change in control.

 

In the event of a change in control (as defined in the agreement) followed by the Mr. Bryan’s involuntary termination of employment (other than for cause) or his resignation for good reason, Mr. Bryan will receive a cash severance payment equal to one times his annual base salary, provided that, in the event that the payment under the change in control agreement when aggregated with other payments to which Mr. Bryan would be entitled as the result of a change in control would constitute parachute payments and trigger an excise tax on the excess parachute payment, then the payment under the change in control agreement would be reduced to avoid this result.  Under the change in control agreement, “good reason” would include any of the following events: (i) the failure to elect or reelect or appoint or reappoint Mr. Bryan to his executive position, unless consented to by Mr. Bryan; (ii) a substantial adverse and material change in Mr. Bryan’s function, duties and responsibilities; (iii) a substantial and material reduction in his annual compensation or benefits from those being provided immediately prior to the change in control (except for any reduction that is part of an employee-wide reduction in pay or benefits); (iv) a liquidation or dissolution of Georgetown Savings Bank; (v) a relocation of his principal place of employment by more than 25 miles from its location immediately prior to the change in control, or (vi) a material breach of the change in control agreement by  Georgetown Savings Bank.  In the event Mr. Bryan has good reason to terminate, he must give notice of his resignation for good reason within 90 days of the initial event that giving rise to the right to terminate and Georgetown Savings Bank, or its successor, and Georgetown Savings Bank, or its successor, will have 30 days to cure the good reason, provided that such 30-day period may be waived by Georgetown Savings Bank, or its successor.

 

In the event Mr. Bryan’s termination occurs following a change in control under circumstances that would entitle him to a benefit under the change in control agreement, he would be entitled to a severance payment of approximately $159,650 if such termination were to occur in 2012.

 

Supplemental Retirement Plan. Georgetown Savings Bank previously adopted an Executive Supplemental Retirement Agreement for Messrs. Balletto and Kennedy.  Effective June 30, 2008, Georgetown Savings Bank restructured the individual Executive Supplemental Retirement Agreements by establishing a Supplemental Retirement Plan. Like its predecessor, the Supplemental Retirement Plan is a non-tax-qualified, deferred compensation plan. The Supplemental Retirement Plan has been written to comply with Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code. Messrs. Balletto and Kennedy are the only participants in the Supplemental Retirement Plan. Each participant is required to enter into a participation agreement evidencing his participation in the plan.

 

Each executive will receive the normal retirement benefit under the Supplemental Retirement Plan if he remains employed with Georgetown Savings Bank until he attains age 65 or has a separation from service within two years of a change in control. The normal retirement benefit is a lump sum amount that is the actuarial equivalent of an annual lifetime benefit of 45% of the executive’s final average compensation, multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the executive’s years of employment with Georgetown Savings Bank and the denominator of which is 23.  The executive’s final average compensation is based on the three fiscal years of the last five fiscal years of employment with Georgetown Savings Bank in which the executive’s base salary and bonus was the highest. If the executive has a separation from service prior to age 65 (other than due to death, disability or cause), the executive is entitled to his accrued annuity benefit calculated in the manner set forth above, and if applicable multiplied by the executive’s vesting rate set forth in his participation agreement.  If the executive is less than age 62 at the time of commencement of the supplemental benefit, his benefit will be further reduced by 5% per year for each year prior to age 62 that the benefit payment commences.

 

If the executive dies prior to attaining age 65, while employed by Georgetown Savings Bank, the executive’s beneficiary will be entitled to a death benefit equal to the present value of executive’s accrued annuity benefit as of executive’s date of death, without any pre-retirement reductions.  In the event of the executive’s disability while employed at Georgetown Savings Bank, the executive will be entitled to a disability benefit, payable commencing at age 65 (unless an alternative commencement time is elected by the executive) as if executive had continued to work until age 65 and assuming that executive’s base salary increased 5% per year for each year until

 

98



 

age 65.  Each executive entered into an election to have the disability benefit paid at the time of disability determination.

 

In the event of a change in control of Georgetown-Federal and/or the Georgetown Savings Bank followed within two years by executive’s involuntary termination of employment or voluntary termination for good reason, the executive will be entitled to a supplemental benefit calculated as if the executive had attained age 65 and his base salary had increased 5% per year until such time; provided, however, the benefit will be reduced, if necessary, to avoid an excess parachute payment under Section 280G of the Internal Revenue Code.

 

Georgetown-Federal accrued $111,000 and $112,000 in compensation expense for the years ended December 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively, towards the benefit applicable to these agreements for Messrs. Balletto and Kennedy.

 

Endorsement Split Dollar Death Benefits.  In January 2002, in conjunction with the adoption of the Executive Supplemental Retirement Agreement, Georgetown Savings Bank adopted collateral assignment Split Dollar Plan Agreements with the two executives covered by the Executive Supplemental Retirement Plan.  As the result of both the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and recent tax law changes, including the enactment of Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code, Georgetown Savings Bank determined that it was in the best interest of Georgetown Savings Bank to unwind the collateral assignment equity split dollar agreements by having the executives transfer the life insurance policies in their name to Georgetown Savings Bank.  In consideration for the termination of this agreement and policy transfer, effective June 30, 2008, Georgetown Savings Bank entered into endorsement split dollar life insurance agreements with each of Messrs. Balletto and Kennedy providing additional death benefits during employment and in limited circumstances thereafter, and also agreed to compensate the executives for their purchase of individually-owned life insurance policies that are intended to survive termination of employment (more fully discussed above under “Employment Agreements”).  Under the endorsement split dollar agreements, each executive (or his designated beneficiary) is entitled to share in the proceeds under a life insurance policy owned by Georgetown Savings Bank in the event of his death prior to termination of employment (or, in the event of a change in control, in the event of his death within 36 months of the change in control).  In addition, in the event of the executive’s involuntary termination of employment by Georgetown Savings Bank or executive’s resignation for “good reason” (as defined in each executive’s employment agreement) executive shall continue to be covered by the endorsement split dollar agreement for 36 months following such termination of employment.  Under the endorsement split dollar life insurance agreements, the death benefit for Mr. Balletto is $2.0 million and for Mr. Kennedy is $1.0 million.

 

Stock Benefit Plans

 

Employee Stock Ownership Plan and TrustThe Board of Directors of Georgetown Savings Bank has adopted an employee stock ownership plan.  Employees who are at least 21 years old with at least one year of employment with Georgetown Savings Bank are eligible to participate. The employee stock ownership plan trust has borrowed funds from Georgetown-Federal and used those funds to purchase 99,981 shares of Georgetown-Federal common stock.  Collateral for the loan is the common stock purchased by the employee stock ownership plan. The loan will be repaid principally from Georgetown Savings Bank discretionary contributions to the employee stock ownership plan over a remaining period of six years.  The loan documents provide that the loan may be repaid over a shorter period, without penalty for prepayments. The interest rate for the loan is a fixed rate of 8.0%.  Shares purchased by the employee stock ownership plan are held in a suspense account for allocation among participants as the loan is repaid.

 

Contributions to the employee stock ownership plan and shares released from the suspense account in an amount proportional to the repayment of the employee stock ownership plan loan will be allocated among employee stock ownership plan participants on the basis of compensation in the year of allocation. Benefits under the plan are vested at the rate of 20% per year, and will be fully vested upon completion of five years of credited service, with credit given to participants for three years of credited service with Georgetown Savings Bank’s mutual predecessor prior to the adoption of the plan.  A participant’s interest in his or her account under the plan fully vests in the event of termination of service due to a participant’s early or normal retirement, death, disability, or upon a change in

control (as defined in the plan).  Vested benefits are payable in the form of common stock and/or cash. Georgetown Savings Bank’s contributions to the employee stock ownership plan are discretionary, subject to the loan terms and tax law limits.  Therefore, benefits payable under the employee stock ownership plan cannot be estimated.  Pursuant to ASC 718-40, Georgetown-Federal records compensation expense each year in an amount equal to the fair market value of the shares committed to be released from the suspense account.  In the event of a change in control, the employee stock ownership plan will terminate.

 

In connection with the conversion, the trustee for our existing employee stock ownership plan is expected to purchase, on behalf of the employee stock ownership plan, 8% of the shares of common stock sold in the offering.  We anticipate that the employee stock ownership plan will fund its stock purchase with a loan from New Georgetown equal to the aggregate purchase price of the common stock plus the remaining outstanding balance on the existing loan, which will be refinanced and consolidated with the new loan.  The loan will have a 15-year term and be repaid principally through Georgetown Savings Bank contribution to the employee stock ownership plan and dividends payable on common stock held by the employee stock ownership plan over the term of the loan.  The interest rate for the employee stock ownership plan loan is expected to be the prime rate of interest, determined as of the date of origination of the loan.  See “Pro Forma Data.”

 

The trustee will hold the shares purchased by the employee stock ownership plan in an unallocated suspense account, and shares will be released from the suspense account on a pro-rata basis as we repay the loan.  The trustee will allocate the shares released among participants on the basis of each participant’s proportional share of eligible plan compensation relative to all participants.

 

We reserve the right, subject to approval from the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, to purchase shares of common stock in the open market following the offering in order to fund all or a portion of the employee stock ownership plan.

 

Equity Incentive Plan. The Board of Directors adopted and stockholders approved the Georgetown Bancorp, Inc. 2009 Equity Incentive Plan (the “Equity Incentive Plan”) in October 2009 to provide officers, employees and directors of Georgetown-Federal and Georgetown Savings Bank with additional incentives to promote the growth and performance of Georgetown-Federal. Most of the companies that we compete with for directors and management-level employees are public companies that offer equity compensation as part of their overall director and officer compensation programs.  The Equity Incentive Plan gives us the flexibility we need to continue to attract and retain highly qualified officers and directors by offering a competitive compensation program that is linked to the performance of our common stock.

 

Subject to permitted adjustments for certain corporate transactions, the Equity Incentive Plan authorizes the issuance or delivery to participants of up to 250,000 shares of Georgetown-Federal common stock pursuant to grants of restricted stock awards, incentive stock options, non-qualified stock options and stock appreciation rights; provided, however, that shares of stock used to fund stock options greater than 136,085 shares must be obtained through stock repurchases and shares of stock used to fund restricted stock awards greater than 54,434 shares must be obtained through stock repurchases.

Effect of the Conversion on Stock Benefit Plans

 

Pursuant to the terms of Georgetown Bancorp, MHC’s plan of conversion and reorganization, and by operation of law, the conversion will have the following effect on Georgetown-Federal’s plans that hold stock of Georgetown-Federal.

 

Equity Incentive Plan.  Upon completion of the conversion, the shares of Georgetown-Federal reserved for or held by the Equity Incentive Plan will be converted into shares of New Georgetown common stock based upon the exchange ratio.  The number of stock options and the exercise price of each stock option granted prior to the conversion will be adjusted by the exchange ratio to preserve, on a per share basis, the value that existed immediately before the conversion and, to the extent applicable, to retain incentive stock option status (if any) under the federal tax laws.  The duration, vesting schedule and other terms of the stock option grant will not be affected by the conversion.  The number of restricted stock awards granted prior to the conversion will be adjusted by the exchange ratio.

 

Employee Stock Ownership Plan.  Upon completion of the conversion, the shares held in the Employee Stock Ownership Plan will be converted into shares of New Georgetown common stock based upon the exchange ratio.  Following the conversion, distributions will be made in shares of New Georgetown common stock.  The other terms and conditions of the Employee Stock Ownership Plan will not be affected by the conversion.

 

401(k) Plan.  Similar to the Employee Stock Ownership Plan, upon completion of the conversion, the shares of Georgetown-Federal held as an investment option under the 401(k) Plan, will be converted into shares of New Georgetown common stock based upon the exchange ratio.  In addition, participants in the 401(k) Plan will have an opportunity to buy shares of New Georgetown with their account balances in the 401(k) Plan.  The other terms and conditions of the 401(k) Plan will not be affected by the conversion.

 

Benefits to be Considered Following Completion of the Conversion

 

Following the stock offering, we intend to adopt a new stock-based benefit plan that will provide for grants of stock options and restricted stock awards.  If adopted within 12 months following the completion of the conversion, the number of shares reserved for the exercise of stock options or available for stock awards under the stock-based benefit plan would generally be limited to 10% and 4% (such 4% to be reduced by amounts purchased in the stock offering by our 401(k) plan using its purchase priority in the subscription offering), respectively, of the shares sold in the stock offering, subject to adjustment as may be required by federal regulations or policy to reflect shares of common stock or stock options previously granted by Georgetown-Federal or Georgetown Savings Bank, so that the total shares reserved for stock options and restricted stock awards does not exceed 10% and 4%, respectively, of New Georgetown’s outstanding shares immediately after the conversion and offering.

 

The stock-based benefit plan will not be established sooner than six months after the conversion and if adopted within one year after the conversion would require the approval of a majority of the votes eligible to be cast by shareholders.  If the stock-based benefit plan is established after one year after the conversion, it would require the approval of our shareholders by a majority of votes cast.

 

The following additional restrictions would apply to our stock-based benefit plan only if the plan is adopted within one year after the conversion:

 

·                                          non-employee directors in the aggregate may not receive more than 30% of the options and restricted stock awards authorized under the plan;

 

·                                          any one non-employee director may not receive more than 5% of the stock options and restricted stock awards authorized under the plan;

 

102



 

·                                          any officer or employee may not receive more than 25% of the stock options and restricted stock awards authorized under the plan;

 

·                                          tax-qualified employee stock benefit plan and management stock benefit plan, in the aggregate, may not hold more than 10% of the shares sold in the offering, unless Georgetown Savings Bank has tangible capital of 10% or more, in which case any tax-qualified employee stock benefit plans and management stock benefit plans, may hold up to 12% of the shares sold in the offering;

 

·                                          the options and restricted stock awards may not vest more rapidly than 20% per year, beginning on the first anniversary of shareholder approval of the plan;

 

·                                          accelerated vesting is not permitted except for death, disability or upon a change in control of Georgetown Savings Bank or New Georgetown; and

 

·                                          our executive officers or directors must exercise or forfeit their options in the event that Georgetown Savings Bank becomes critically undercapitalized, is subject to enforcement action or receives a capital directive.

 

We have not determined whether we will present the stock-based benefit plan for shareholder approval prior to or more than 12 months after the completion of the conversion.  In the event either federal or state regulators change their regulations or policies regarding stock-based benefit plans, including any regulations or policies restricting the size of awards and vesting of benefits as described above, the restrictions described above may not be applicable.

 

We may obtain the shares needed for our stock-based benefit plans by issuing additional shares of common stock from authorized but unissued shares or through stock repurchases.

 

The actual value of the shares awarded under the stock-based benefit plan will be based in part on the price of New Georgetown’s common stock at the time the shares are awarded. The stock-based benefit plan is subject to shareholder approval, and cannot be implemented until at least six months after the offering.  The following tables present the total value of all shares that would be available for award and issuance under the stock-based benefit plan, assuming the shares are awarded when the market price of our common stock ranges from $8.00 per share to $14.00 per share.

The grant-date fair value of the options granted under the stock-based benefit plan will be based in part on the price of shares of common stock of New Georgetown at the time the options are granted.  The value also will depend on the various assumptions utilized in the option pricing model ultimately adopted.  The following table presents the total estimated value of the options to be available for grant under the stock-based benefit plan, assuming the market price and exercise price for the stock options are equal and the range of market prices for the shares is $8.00 per share to $14.00 per share.  The Black-Scholes option pricing model provides an estimate only of the fair value of the options, and the actual value of the options may differ significantly from the value set forth in this table.

SUBSCRIPTIONS BY DIRECTORS AND EXECUTIVE OFFICERS

 

The table below sets forth, for each of New Georgetown’s directors and executive officers, and for all of these individuals as a group, the following information:

 

(i)                                     the number of exchange shares to be held upon completion of the conversion, based upon their beneficial ownership of Georgetown-Federal common stock as of April 30, 2012;

 

(ii)                                  the proposed purchases of shares in the stock offering, assuming sufficient shares of common stock are available to satisfy their subscriptions; and

 

(iii)                               the total shares of common stock to be held upon completion of the conversion.

 

In each case, it is assumed that shares are sold at the minimum of the offering range.  See “The Conversion and Offering—Additional Limitations on Common Stock Purchases.”  Federal regulations prohibit our directors and officers from selling the shares they purchase in the offering for one year after the date of purchase.  Subscriptions by management through our 401(k) plan are included in the proposed purchases set forth below and will be counted as part of the maximum number of shares such individuals may subscribe for in the stock offering and as part of the maximum number of shares directors and officers may purchase in the stock offering.

THE CONVERSION AND OFFERING

 

The boards of directors of Georgetown-Federal and Georgetown Bancorp, MHC have approved the plan of conversion and reorganization.  The plan of conversion and reorganization must also be approved by the depositors of Georgetown Savings Bank, the corporators of Georgetown Bancorp, MHC and the shareholders of Georgetown-Federal.  Special meetings of depositors, corporators and shareholders have been called for this purpose. The Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System has approved the application that includes the plan of conversion and reorganization; however, such approval does not constitute a recommendation or endorsement of the plan of conversion and reorganization by that agency.

 

General

 

The respective boards of directors of Georgetown Bancorp, MHC and Georgetown-Federal adopted the plan of conversion and reorganization on November 28, 2011.  Pursuant to the plan of conversion and reorganization, our organization will convert from the partially public mutual holding company form of organization to the fully public stock form of organization.  Georgetown Bancorp, MHC, the mutual holding company parent of Georgetown-Federal, will be merged into Georgetown-Federal, and Georgetown Bancorp, MHC will no longer exist.  Georgetown-Federal, which owns 100% of Georgetown Savings Bank, will be merged into a new Maryland corporation named Georgetown Bancorp, Inc., and Georgetown-Federal will cease to exist.  As part of the conversion, the 57.0% ownership interest of Georgetown Bancorp, MHC in Georgetown-Federal will be offered for sale in the stock offering.  When the conversion is completed, all of the outstanding common stock of Georgetown Savings Bank will be owned by New Georgetown, and all of the outstanding common stock of New Georgetown will be owned by public shareholders.  As described above, Georgetown Bancorp, MHC and Georgetown-Federal will cease to exist.  A diagram of our corporate structure before and after the conversion is set forth in the “Summary” section of this prospectus.

 

Under the plan of conversion and reorganization, at the completion of the conversion and offering, each share of Georgetown-Federal common stock owned by persons other than Georgetown Bancorp, MHC will be converted automatically into the right to receive shares of New Georgetown common stock determined pursuant to an exchange ratio.  The exchange ratio will ensure that immediately after the exchange of existing shares of Georgetown-Federal for shares of New Georgetown, the public shareholders will own the same aggregate percentage of shares of common stock of New Georgetown that they owned in Georgetown-Federal immediately prior to the conversion, excluding any shares they purchased in the offering and their receipt of cash paid in lieu of fractional exchange shares.

 

We intend to retain between $3.1 million and $5.0 million of the net proceeds of the offering and to invest between $3.7 million and $6.1 million of the net proceeds in Georgetown Savings Bank.   The conversion will be consummated only upon the issuance of at least the minimum number of shares of our common stock offered pursuant to the plan of conversion and reorganization.

 

The plan of conversion and reorganization provides that we will offer shares of common stock for sale in the subscription offering to eligible account holders, our tax-qualified employee benefit plans, including our employee stock ownership plan and 401(k) plan, supplemental eligible account holders and other depositors. In addition, shares not purchased in the subscription offering may be offered for sale in a community offering with the following preferences prior to shares being offered to members of the general public:

 

(i)                                     Natural persons (including trusts of natural persons) residing in the Massachusetts counties of Suffolk, Middlesex and Essex and the New Hampshire county of Rockingham; and

 

(ii)                                  Georgetown-Federal’s public shareholders as of April 30, 2012.

 

We have the right to accept or reject, in whole or in part, any orders to purchase shares of the common stock received in the community offering. The community offering may begin concurrently with, during or after the

 

108



 

subscription offering and must be completed within 45 days after the completion of the subscription offering unless otherwise extended by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System. See “—Community Offering.”

 

We also may offer for sale shares of common stock not purchased in the subscription or community offerings through a syndicated community offering to be managed by Keefe, Bruyette & Woods, Inc.  See “—Syndicated Community Offering” herein.

 

We determined the number of shares of common stock to be offered in the offering based upon an independent valuation of the estimated pro forma market value of New Georgetown.  All shares of common stock to be sold in the offering will be sold at $10.00 per share. Investors will not be charged a commission to purchase shares of common stock.  The independent valuation will be updated and the final number of the shares of common stock to be issued in the offering will be determined at the completion of the offering. See “—Stock Pricing and Number of Shares to be Issued” for more information as to the determination of the estimated pro forma market value of the common stock.

 

The following is a brief summary of the conversion and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the provisions of the plan of conversion and reorganization. A copy of the plan of conversion and reorganization is available for inspection at each branch office of Georgetown Savings Bank. The plan of conversion and reorganization is also filed as an exhibit to Georgetown Bancorp, MHC’s application to convert from mutual to stock form of which this prospectus is a part, copies of which may be obtained from the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System. The plan of conversion and reorganization is also filed as an exhibit to the registration statement we have filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, of which this prospectus is a part, copies of which may be obtained from the Securities and Exchange Commission or online at the Securities and Exchange Commission’s website, www.sec.gov.  See “Where You Can Find Additional Information.”

 

Reasons for the Conversion

 

Our primary reasons for converting and undertaking the stock offering are to:

 

·                                          increase our capital to support continued growth and future business activities.  While Georgetown Savings Bank currently exceeds all regulatory capital requirements and is not subject to any directive or recommendation from any banking regulatory agency to raise capital, the proceeds from the sale of common stock will increase our capital during a period of significant economic and regulatory uncertainty, particularly for the financial services industry, and will support our continued growth and future business activities.

 

·                                          transition us from the mutual holding company structure to a more familiar and flexible organizational structure.   The stock holding company structure is a more familiar form of organization, which we believe will make our common stock more appealing to investors, and will give us greater flexibility to structure mergers and acquisitions and to access the capital markets through possible future equity and debt offerings, although we have no current plans, agreements or understandings regarding any mergers and acquisitions or additional securities offerings.

 

·                                          improve the trading liquidity of our shares of common stock.  The larger number of shares that will be outstanding after completion of the conversion and offering is expected to result in a more liquid and active market than currently exists for Georgetown-Federal common stock.  A more liquid and active market would make it easier for our shareholders to buy and sell our common stock and would give us greater flexibility in implementing capital management strategies.

 

·                                          eliminate the uncertainties associated with the mutual holding company structure resulting from the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and the sunset of the Office of Thrift Supervision.  The Dodd-Frank Act has changed our primary bank and holding company regulator, which has resulted in changes in regulations applicable to us, including

 

109



 

regulations governing mutual holding companies and conversions to stock form.  Under the Dodd-Frank Act, the Federal Reserve Board is now the sole federal regulator of all bank and savings and loan holding companies, including mutual holding companies, and the Federal Reserve Board historically has not allowed mutual holding companies to waive the receipt of dividends from their mid-tier holding company subsidiaries.  The Federal Reserve Board has adopted interim regulations that would make it more difficult for Georgetown Bancorp, MHC to waive dividends in the future.  The conversion will eliminate our mutual holding company structure and any regulatory uncertainty associated with potential dividend waivers by our mutual holding company, including the treatment of waived dividends in a conversion of our mutual holding company to stock form.

 

Approvals Required

 

The affirmative vote of a majority of the total votes eligible to be cast by the depositors of Georgetown Savings Bank is required to approve the plan of conversion and reorganization. By their approval of the plan of conversion and reorganization, the depositors of Georgetown Savings Bank will also be approving the merger of Georgetown Bancorp, MHC into Georgetown-Federal.  The affirmative vote of the holders of at least two-thirds of the outstanding shares of common stock of Georgetown-Federal and the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of common stock of Georgetown-Federal held by the public shareholders of Georgetown-Federal are also required to approve the plan of conversion and reorganization. In addition, the affirmative vote of a majority of votes cast by corporators of Georgetown Bancorp, MHC is required to approve the plan of conversion and reorganization.  The plan of conversion and reorganization also must be approved by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, which has given its approval of the application that includes the plan of conversion and reorganization.

 

Share Exchange Ratio for Shareholders of Georgetown-Federal

 

Federal regulations provide that in a conversion of a mutual holding company to fully stock form, the public shareholders will be entitled to exchange their shares for common stock of the new holding company, provided that the mutual holding company demonstrates to the satisfaction of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System that the basis for the exchange is fair and reasonable.  At the completion of the conversion, each publicly held share of Georgetown-Federal common stock will be converted automatically into the right to receive a number of shares of New Georgetown common stock.  The number of shares of common stock will be determined pursuant to the exchange ratio, which ensures that the public shareholders will own the same percentage of common stock in New Georgetown after the conversion as they held in Georgetown-Federal immediately prior to the conversion, exclusive of their purchase of shares of common stock in the offering and their receipt of cash in lieu of fractional exchange shares. The exchange ratio will not depend on the market value of New Georgetown common stock.  The exchange ratio will be based on the percentage of Georgetown-Federal common stock held by the public, the independent valuation of New Georgetown, and the number of shares of common stock issued in the offering.  The exchange ratio is expected to range from 0.55647 exchange shares for each publicly held share of Georgetown-Federal at the minimum of the offering range to 0.86580 exchange shares for each publicly held share of Georgetown-Federal at the adjusted maximum of the offering range.

The following table shows how the exchange ratio will adjust, based on the number of shares of common stock issued in the offering, with share ownership percentages as of February 29, 2012.  The table also shows how many shares of New Georgetown a hypothetical owner of Georgetown-Federal common stock would receive in the exchange for 100 shares of common stock owned at the completion of the conversion, depending on the number of shares issued in the offering.

Effects of Conversion on Depositors and Borrowers

 

Continuity. The conversion will not affect the normal business of Georgetown Savings Bank of accepting deposits and making loans. Georgetown Savings Bank will continue to be a federally chartered savings bank and will continue to be regulated by the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency. After the conversion, Georgetown Savings Bank will continue to offer existing services to depositors, borrowers and other customers.  The directors serving Georgetown-Federal at the time of the conversion will be the directors of New Georgetown after the conversion.

 

Effect on Deposit Accounts. Pursuant to the plan of conversion and reorganization, each depositor of Georgetown Savings Bank at the time of the conversion will automatically continue as a depositor after the conversion, and the deposit balance, interest rate and other terms of such deposit accounts will not change as a result of the conversion. Each such account will be insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation to the same extent as before the conversion. Depositors will continue to hold their existing certificates, passbooks and other evidences of their accounts.

 

Effect on Loans. No loan outstanding from Georgetown Savings Bank will be affected by the conversion, and the amount, interest rate, maturity and security for each loan will remain as it was contractually fixed prior to the conversion.

 

Effect on Voting Rights of Depositors and Corporators. Depositors of Georgetown Savings Bank generally do not have voting rights in Georgetown Bancorp, MHC, subject to certain exceptions such as the right to vote on the plan of conversion and reorganization. Instead, voting rights in Georgetown Bancorp, MHC are vested in its corporators.  Upon completion of the conversion, depositors and corporators will no longer have voting rights, and all voting rights in Georgetown Savings Bank will be vested in New Georgetown as the sole shareholder of

 

111



 

Georgetown Savings Bank.   The shareholders of New Georgetown will possess exclusive voting rights with respect to New Georgetown common stock.

 

Tax Effects. We have received opinions of counsel and our tax advisor with regard to federal and state income tax consequences of the conversion to the effect that the conversion will not be a taxable transaction for federal or state income tax purposes to Georgetown Bancorp, MHC, Georgetown-Federal, Georgetown Savings Bank, the public shareholders of Georgetown-Federal (except for cash paid in lieu of fractional shares), eligible account holders, supplemental eligible account holders or other depositors.  See “—Material Income Tax Consequences.”

 

Effect on Liquidation Rights.  Each depositor in Georgetown Savings Bank has both a deposit account in Georgetown Savings Bank and a pro rata ownership interest in the net worth of Georgetown Bancorp, MHC based upon the deposit balance in his or her account. This ownership interest is tied to the depositor’s account and has no tangible market value separate from the deposit account. This interest may only be realized in the event of a complete liquidation of Georgetown Bancorp, MHC and Georgetown Savings Bank.  Any depositor who opens a deposit account obtains a pro rata ownership interest in Georgetown Bancorp, MHC without any additional payment beyond the amount of the deposit. A depositor who reduces or closes his or her account receives a portion or all of the balance in the deposit account but nothing for his or her ownership interest in the net worth of Georgetown Bancorp, MHC, which is lost to the extent that the balance in the account is reduced or closed.

 

Consequently, depositors in a stock bank subsidiary of a mutual holding company normally have no way of realizing the value of their ownership interest, which has realizable value only in the unlikely event that Georgetown Bancorp, MHC and Georgetown Savings Bank are liquidated. If this occurs, the depositors of record at that time, as owners, would share pro rata in any residual surplus and reserves of Georgetown Bancorp, MHC after other claims, including claims of depositors to the amounts of their deposits, are paid.

 

Under the plan of conversion and reorganization, Eligible Account Holders and Supplemental Eligible Account Holders will receive an interest in liquidation accounts maintained by New Georgetown and Georgetown Savings Bank in an aggregate amount equal to (i) Georgetown Bancorp, MHC’s ownership interest in Georgetown-Federal’s total shareholders’ equity as of the date of the latest statement of financial condition used in this prospectus plus (ii) the value of the net assets of Georgetown Bancorp, MHC as of the date of the latest statement of financial condition of Georgetown Bancorp, MHC prior to the consummation of the conversion (excluding its ownership of Georgetown-Federal). New Georgetown and Georgetown Savings Bank will hold the liquidation accounts for the benefit of Eligible Account Holders and Supplemental Eligible Account Holders who continue to maintain deposits in Georgetown Savings Bank after the conversion.  The liquidation accounts would be distributed to Eligible Account Holders and Supplemental Eligible Account Holders who maintain their deposit accounts in Georgetown Savings Bank only in the event of a liquidation of (a) New Georgetown and Georgetown Savings Bank or (b) Georgetown Savings Bank.  The liquidation account in Georgetown Savings Bank would be used only in the event that New Georgetown does not have sufficient assets to fund its obligations under its liquidation account.  The total obligation of New Georgetown and Georgetown Savings Bank under their respective liquidation accounts will never exceed the dollar amount of New Georgetown’s liquidation account as adjusted from time to time pursuant to the plan of conversion and reorganization and federal regulations.  See “—Liquidation Rights.”

 

Stock Pricing and Number of Shares to be Issued

 

The plan of conversion and reorganization and federal regulations require that the aggregate purchase price of the common stock sold in the offering must be based on the appraised pro forma market value of the common stock of New Georgetown, as determined by an independent valuation.  We have retained RP Financial, LC. to prepare an independent valuation.  For its services in preparing the initial valuation, RP Financial, LC. will receive a fee of $27,000, as well as payment for reimbursable expenses and an additional $5,000 for each valuation update, as necessary.  We have paid no other fees to RP Financial, LC. during the previous three years.  We have agreed to indemnify RP Financial, LC. and its employees and affiliates against specified losses, including any losses in connection with claims under the federal securities laws, arising out of its services as independent appraiser, except where such liability results from RP Financial, LC.’s bad faith or negligence.

 

112



 

The independent valuation was prepared by RP Financial, LC. in reliance upon the information contained in this prospectus, including the consolidated financial statements of Georgetown-Federal.  RP Financial, LC. also considered the following factors, among others:

 

·                                          the present results and financial condition of Georgetown-Federal and the projected results and financial condition of New Georgetown;

 

·                                          the economic and demographic conditions in Georgetown-Federal’s existing market area;

 

·                                          certain historical, financial and other information relating to Georgetown-Federal;

 

·                                          a comparative evaluation of the operating and financial characteristics of Georgetown-Federal with those of other similarly situated publicly traded savings institutions located in the northeast region of the U.S.;

 

·                                          the effect of the conversion and offering on New Georgetown’s shareholders’ equity and earnings potential;

 

·                                          the proposed dividend policy of New Georgetown; and

 

·                                          the trading market for securities of comparable institutions and general conditions in the market for such securities.

 

The independent valuation is also based on an analysis of a peer group of publicly traded savings and loan holding companies that RP Financial, LC. considered comparable to Georgetown-Federal under regulatory guidelines applicable to the independent valuation.  Under these guidelines, a minimum of ten peer group companies are selected from the universe of all publicly-traded savings institutions with relatively comparable resources, strategies and financial and other operating characteristics.   Such companies must also be traded on an exchange (such as Nasdaq or the New York Stock Exchange).  The peer group companies selected for New Georgetown also consisted of fully-converted stock institutions that were not subject to an actual or rumored acquisition and that had been in fully-converted form for at least one year.  In addition, RP Financial, LC. limited the peer group companies to those who are headquartered in the New England states and had assets less than $700 million, or in the states of New York or New Jersey and had assets less than $1.1 billion.

 

The independent valuation considered the pro forma effect of the offering.  Consistent with federal appraisal guidelines, the appraisal applied three primary methodologies:  (i) the pro forma price-to-book value approach applied to both reported book value and tangible book value; (ii) the pro forma price-to-earnings approach applied to reported and core earnings; and (iii) the pro forma price-to-assets approach. The market value ratios applied in the three methodologies were based on the current market valuations of the peer group companies. RP Financial, LC. placed the greatest emphasis on the price-to-earnings and price-to-book approaches in estimating pro forma market value.  RP Financial, LC. did not consider a pro forma price-to-assets approach to be meaningful in preparing the appraisal, as this approach is more meaningful when a company has low equity or earnings.  The price-to-assets approach is less meaningful for a company like us, as we have equity in excess of regulatory capital requirements and positive reported and core earnings.

 

In applying each of the valuation methods, RP Financial, LC. considered adjustments to the pro forma market value based on a comparison of New Georgetown with the peer group.  RP Financial, LC. made a slight upward adjustment for financial condition, slight downward adjustments for asset growth, dividends and marketing of the issue and a moderate downward adjustment for liquidity of the shares.  No adjustments were made for profitability, growth and viability of earnings, primary market area, management and the effect of government regulations and regulatory reform.

 

113



 

RP Financial, LC. made a slight upward adjustment for financial condition based on Georgetown Savings Bank’s greater investment in loans and more loan diversification coupled with more favorable credit quality ratios than those of the peer group.  A slight downward adjustment was applied for asset growth based on the reported historical asset growth of the peer group and our asset size being smaller than that of the peer group.  A slight downward adjustment was applied for dividends, as we do not currently pay a dividend.  RP Financial, LC. made a slight downward adjustment for marketing of the issue, following its analysis of trends in the market for thrift stocks, the market for new second-step conversion offerings and the acquisition market for companies that have completed second-step conversions.  A moderate downward adjustment was applied for liquidity of the issue as our market capitalization and shares of common stock outstanding will be well below the comparable measures for the peer group.

 

Included in RP Financial, LC.’s independent valuation were certain assumptions as to the pro forma earnings of New Georgetown after the conversion that were utilized in determining the appraised value.  These assumptions included estimated expenses, an assumed after-tax rate of return of 0.50% for the twelve months ended December 31, 2011 on the net offering proceeds and purchases in the open market of 4% of the common stock issued in the offering by the stock-based benefit plan at the $10.00 per share purchase price. See “Pro Forma Data” for additional information concerning these assumptions. The use of different assumptions may yield different results.

 

The independent valuation states that as of February 24, 2012, the estimated pro forma market value of New Georgetown was $17.6 million.  Based on federal regulations, this market value forms the midpoint of a range with a minimum of $15.0 million and a maximum of $20.3 million.  The aggregate offering price of the shares will be equal to the valuation range multiplied by the percentage of Georgetown-Federal common stock owned by Georgetown Bancorp, MHC.  The number of shares offered will be equal to the aggregate offering price of the shares divided by the price per share. Based on the valuation range, the percentage of Georgetown-Federal common stock owned by Georgetown Bancorp, MHC and the $10.00 price per share, the minimum of the offering range will be 850,000 shares, the midpoint of the offering range will be 1,000,000 shares and the maximum of the offering range will be 1,150,000 shares.

 

The boards of directors of New Georgetown and Georgetown Bancorp, MHC reviewed the independent valuation and, in particular, considered the following:

 

·                                          Georgetown-Federal’s financial condition and results of operations;

 

·                                          a comparison of financial performance ratios of Georgetown-Federal to those of other financial institutions of similar size;

 

·                                          market conditions generally and in particular for financial institutions; and

 

·                                          the historical trading price of the publicly held shares of Georgetown-Federal common stock.

 

All of these factors are set forth in the independent valuation. The board of directors also reviewed the methodology and the assumptions used by RP Financial, LC. in preparing the independent valuation and believes that such assumptions were reasonable. The offering range may be amended with the approval of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, if required, as a result of subsequent developments in the financial condition of Georgetown-Federal or Georgetown Savings Bank or market conditions generally. In the event the independent valuation is updated to amend the pro forma market value of New Georgetown to less than $15.0 million or more than $23.3 million, the new appraisal will be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission by a post-effective amendment to New Georgetown’s registration statement.

 

The following table presents a summary of selected pricing ratios for New Georgetown (on a pro forma basis) and the peer group companies based on earnings and other information as of and for the twelve months ended December 31, 2011, and stock price information for the peer group companies as of February 24, 2012, as reflected

 

114



 

in the appraisal report.  Compared to the average pricing of the peer group, our pro forma pricing ratios at the midpoint of the offering range indicated a discount of 22.5% on a price-to-book value basis, a discount of 25.8% on a price-to-tangible book value basis and a discount of 4.9% on a price-to-earnings basis.  Our board of directors, in reviewing and approving the appraisal, considered the range of price-to-earnings multiples and the range of price-to-book value and price-to-tangible book value ratios at the different amounts of shares to be sold in the offering.  The appraisal did not consider one valuation approach to be more important than the other.  The estimated appraised value and the resulting premium/discount took into consideration the potential financial effect of the conversion and offering as well as the trading price of Georgetown-Federal’s common stock. The closing price of the common stock was $6.00 per share on November 28, 2011, the last trading day immediately preceding the announcement of the conversion, and $6.50 per share on February 24, 2012, the effective date of the appraisal.

(1)      Price-to-earnings multiples calculated by RP Financial, LC. in the independent appraisal are based on an estimate of “core,” or recurring, earnings.  These ratios are different than those presented in “Pro Forma Data.”

 

The independent valuation is not intended, and must not be construed, as a recommendation of any kind as to the advisability of purchasing our shares of common stock. RP Financial, LC. did not independently verify our consolidated financial statements and other information that we provided to them, nor did RP Financial, LC. independently value our assets or liabilities. The independent valuation considers Georgetown Savings Bank as a going concern and should not be considered as an indication of the liquidation value of Georgetown Savings Bank.  Moreover, because the valuation is necessarily based upon estimates and projections of a number of matters, all of which may change from time to time, no assurance can be given that persons purchasing our common stock in the offering will thereafter be able to sell their shares at prices at or above the $10.00 price per share.

 

Following commencement of the subscription offering, the maximum of the valuation range may be increased by up to 15%, or up to $23.3 million, without resoliciting subscribers, which will result in a corresponding increase of up to 15% in the maximum of the offering range to up to 1,322,500 shares, to reflect changes in the market and financial conditions or demand for the shares.  We will not decrease the minimum of the valuation range and the minimum of the offering range without a resolicitation of subscribers.  The subscription price of $10.00 per share will remain fixed.  See “—Additional Limitations on Common Stock Purchases” as to the method of distribution of additional shares to be issued in the event of an increase in the offering range of up to 1,322,500 shares.

 

If the update to the independent valuation at the conclusion of the offering results in an increase in the maximum of the valuation range to more than $23.3 million and a corresponding increase in the offering range to more than 1,322,500 shares, or a decrease in the minimum of the valuation range to less than $15.0 million and a corresponding decrease in the offering range to fewer than 850,000 shares, then we will promptly return, with interest at 0.05% per annum, all funds previously delivered to purchase shares of common stock in the subscription and community offerings and cancel deposit account withdrawal authorizations and, after consulting with the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, we may terminate the plan of conversion and reorganization.  Alternatively, we may establish a new offering range, extend the offering period and commence a resolicitation of subscribers or take other actions as permitted by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System in order to complete the offering.  In the event that we extend the offering and conduct a resolicitation, we will notify

 

115



 

subscribers of the extension of time and of the rights of subscribers to place a new stock order for a specified period of time.  Any single offering extension will not exceed 90 days; aggregate extensions may not conclude beyond June 25, 2014, which is two years after the special meeting of depositors to vote on the conversion.

 

An increase in the number of shares to be issued in the offering would decrease both a subscriber’s ownership interest and New Georgetown’s pro forma earnings and shareholders’ equity on a per share basis while increasing pro forma earnings and shareholders’ equity on an aggregate basis. A decrease in the number of shares to be issued in the offering would increase both a subscriber’s ownership interest and New Georgetown’s pro forma earnings and shareholders’ equity on a per share basis, while decreasing pro forma earnings and shareholders’ equity on an aggregate basis.

 

Copies of the independent valuation appraisal report of RP Financial, LC. and the detailed memorandum setting forth the method and assumptions used in the appraisal report are available for inspection at the main office of Georgetown Savings Bank and as specified under “Where You Can Find Additional Information.”

 

Subscription Offering and Subscription Rights

 

In accordance with the plan of conversion and reorganization, rights to subscribe for shares of common stock in the subscription offering have been granted in the following descending order of priority.  The filling of all subscriptions that we receive will depend on the availability of common stock after satisfaction of all subscriptions of all persons having prior rights in the subscription offering and to the maximum, minimum and overall purchase and ownership limitations set forth in the plan of conversion and reorganization and as described below under “—Additional Limitations on Common Stock Purchases.”

 

Priority 1: Eligible Account Holders. Each Georgetown Savings Bank depositor with aggregate account balances of $50.00 or more (a “Qualifying Deposit”) at the close of business on September 30, 2010 (an “Eligible Account Holder”) will receive, without payment therefor, nontransferable subscription rights to purchase up to $400,000 (40,000 shares) of our common stock, subject to the overall purchase and ownership limitations.  See “—Additional Limitations on Common Stock Purchases.”  If there are not sufficient shares available to satisfy all subscriptions, shares will first be allocated so as to permit each Eligible Account Holder to purchase a number of shares sufficient to make his or her total allocation equal to the lesser of 100 shares or the number of shares for which he or she subscribed. Thereafter, any remaining shares will be allocated to each Eligible Account Holder whose subscription remains unfilled in the proportion that the amount of his or her Qualifying Deposit bears to the total amount of Qualifying Deposits of all subscribing Eligible Account Holders whose subscriptions remain unfilled. If an amount so allocated exceeds the amount subscribed for by any one or more Eligible Account Holders, the excess shall be reallocated among those Eligible Account Holders whose subscriptions are not fully satisfied until all available shares have been allocated.

 

To ensure proper allocation of our shares of common stock, each Eligible Account Holder must list on his or her stock order form all deposit accounts in Georgetown Savings Bank in which he or she had an ownership interest on September 30, 2010.  In the event of an oversubscription, failure to list an account could result in fewer shares being allocated than if all accounts had been disclosed.  In the event of an oversubscription, the subscription rights of Eligible Account Holders who are also directors or executive officers of Georgetown-Federal or their associates will be subordinated to the subscription rights of other Eligible Account Holders to the extent attributable to their increased deposits in the 12 months preceding September 30, 2010.

 

Priority 2: Tax-Qualified Plans.  Our tax-qualified employee plans, specifically our employee stock ownership plan and 401(k) plan, will receive, without payment therefor, nontransferable subscription rights to purchase in the aggregate up to 10% of the shares of common stock sold in the offering.  Our employee stock ownership plan intends to purchase 8% of the shares of common stock sold in the offering.  If market conditions warrant, in the judgment of its trustees, the employee stock ownership plan may elect to fill some or all of its intended purchase by buying shares in the open market following the completion of the conversion, subject to the approval of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System.  The amount of the subscription requests by the 401(k) plan will be determined by its participants, who will have the right to invest all or a portion of their 401(k)

 

116



 

plan accounts in our common stock, subject to the maximum and overall purchase and ownership limitations.  However, to comply with the 10% limitation applicable to our tax-qualified employee plans, our 401(k) plan may purchase no more than 2% of the shares of common stock sold in the offering.

 

Priority 3: Supplemental Eligible Account Holders.  To the extent that there are shares of common stock remaining after satisfaction of subscriptions by Eligible Account Holders and our tax-qualified employee stock benefit plans, each Georgetown Savings Bank depositor with a Qualifying Deposit at the close of business on March 31, 2012 who is not an Eligible Account Holder (“Supplemental Eligible Account Holder”) will receive, without payment therefor, nontransferable subscription rights to purchase up to $400,000 (40,000 shares) of common stock, subject to the overall purchase and ownership limitations. See “—Additional Limitations on Common Stock Purchases.” If there are not sufficient shares available to satisfy all subscriptions, shares will be allocated so as to permit each Supplemental Eligible Account Holder to purchase a number of shares sufficient to make his or her total allocation equal to the lesser of 100 shares of common stock or the number of shares for which he or she subscribed. Thereafter, unallocated shares will be allocated to each Supplemental Eligible Account Holder whose subscription remains unfilled in the proportion that the amount of his or her Qualifying Deposit bears to the total amount of Qualifying Deposits of all Supplemental Eligible Account Holders whose subscriptions remain unfilled.

 

To ensure proper allocation of common stock, each Supplemental Eligible Account Holder must list on the stock order form all deposit accounts in which he or she had an ownership interest at March 31, 2012.  In the event of oversubscription, failure to list an account could result in fewer shares being allocated than if all accounts had been disclosed.

 

Priority 4: Other Depositors. To the extent that there are shares of common stock remaining after satisfaction of subscriptions by Eligible Account Holders, our tax-qualified employee stock benefit plans, and Supplemental Eligible Account Holders, each depositor of Georgetown Savings Bank as of the close of business on April 30, 2012 who is not an Eligible Account Holder or Supplemental Eligible Account Holder (“Other Depositors”) will receive, without payment therefor, nontransferable subscription rights to purchase up to $400,000 (40,000 shares) of common stock, subject to the overall purchase and ownership limitations. See “—Additional Limitations on Common Stock Purchases.” If there are not sufficient shares available to satisfy all subscriptions, shares will be allocated so as to permit each Other Depositor to purchase a number of shares sufficient to make his or her total allocation equal to the lesser of 100 shares of common stock or the number of shares for which he or she subscribed.  Thereafter, available shares will be allocated in the proportion that the amount of the subscription of each Other Depositor bears to the total amount of the subscriptions of all Other Depositors whose subscriptions remain unsatisfied.

 

To ensure proper allocation of common stock, each Other Depositor must list on the stock order form all deposit accounts in which he or she had an ownership interest at April 30, 2012.  In the event of oversubscription, failure to list an account could result in fewer shares being allocated than if all accounts had been disclosed.

 

Expiration Date. The subscription offering will expire at 12:00 noon, Eastern Time, on June 19, 2012, unless extended by us for up to 45 days or such additional periods with the approval of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, if necessary. Subscription rights will expire whether or not each eligible depositor can be located.  We may decide to extend the expiration date of the subscription offering for any reason, whether or not subscriptions have been received for shares at the minimum, midpoint or maximum of the offering range. Subscription rights which have not been exercised prior to the expiration date will become void.

 

We will not execute orders until at least the minimum number of shares of common stock have been sold in the offering.  If at least 850,000 shares have not been sold in the offering by August 3, 2012 and the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System has not consented to an extension, all funds delivered to us to purchase shares of common stock in the offering will be returned promptly, with interest at 0.05% per annum for funds received in the subscription and community offerings, and all deposit account withdrawal authorizations will be canceled.  If an extension beyond August 3, 2012 is granted by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, we will resolicit purchasers in the offering as described under “—Procedure for Purchasing Shares—Expiration Date.”

 

117



 

Community Offering

 

To the extent that shares of common stock remain available for purchase after satisfaction of all subscriptions of Eligible Account Holders, our tax-qualified employee stock benefit plans, Supplemental Eligible Account Holders and Other Depositors, we may offer shares pursuant to the plan of conversion and reorganization to members of the public in a community offering.  If a community offering is held, shares will be offered with the following preferences prior to shares being offered to members of the general public:

 

(i)                                     Natural persons (including trusts of natural persons) residing in the Massachusetts counties of Suffolk, Middlesex and Essex and the New Hampshire county of Rockingham (the “Community”); and

 

(ii)                                  Georgetown-Federal’s public shareholders as of April 30, 2012.

 

Persons who place orders in the community offering may purchase up to $400,000 (40,000 shares) of common stock, subject to the overall purchase and ownership limitations. See “—Additional Limitations on Common Stock Purchases.” The minimum purchase is 25 shares. The opportunity to purchase shares of common stock in the community offering is subject to our right, in our sole discretion, to accept or reject any such orders in whole or in part either at the time of receipt of an order or as soon as practicable following the expiration date of the offering.

 

If we do not have sufficient shares of common stock available to fill the orders of natural persons (including trusts of natural persons) residing in the Community, we will allocate the available shares among those persons in a manner that permits each of them, to the extent possible, to purchase the lesser of 100 shares or the number of shares subscribed for by such person.  Thereafter, unallocated shares will be allocated among natural persons residing in the Community whose orders remain unsatisfied on an equal number of shares basis per order.  If an oversubscription instead occurs due to the orders of public shareholders of Georgetown-Federal or members of the general public, the allocation procedures described above will apply to the stock orders of such persons.  In connection with the allocation process, orders received for shares of common stock in the community offering will first be filled up to a maximum of 2% of the shares sold in the offering, and thereafter any remaining shares will be allocated on an equal number of shares basis per order until all shares have been allocated.

 

The term “residing” or “resident” as used in this prospectus means any person who occupies a dwelling within the Community, has a present intent to remain within the Community for a period of time, and manifests the genuineness of that intent by establishing an ongoing physical presence within the Community, together with an indication that this presence within the Community is something other than merely transitory in nature.  We may utilize deposit or loan records or other evidence provided to us to decide whether a person is a resident. In all cases, however, the determination shall be in our sole discretion.

 

Expiration Date.  The community offering may begin concurrently with, during or after the subscription offering, and may terminate at the same time as the subscription offering, but must terminate no more than 45 days following the subscription offering, unless extended with regulatory approval.  New Georgetown may decide to extend the community offering for any reason and is not required to give purchasers notice of any such extension unless such period extends beyond August 3, 2012.

 

Syndicated Community Offering

 

Our board of directors may decide to offer for sale shares of common stock not subscribed for or purchased in the subscription and community offerings in a syndicated community offering, subject to such terms, conditions and procedures as we may determine, in a manner that will achieve a widespread distribution of our shares of common stock.  If a syndicated community offering is held, Keefe, Bruyette & Woods, Inc. will serve as sole manager and will assist us in selling our common stock on a best efforts basis.  In such capacity, Keefe, Bruyette & Woods, Inc. may form a syndicate of other broker-dealers who are Financial Industry Regulatory

 

118



 

Authority member firms.  Neither Keefe, Bruyette & Woods, Inc. nor any registered broker-dealer will have any obligation to take or purchase any shares of the common stock in the syndicated community offering.

 

In the syndicated community offering, any person may purchase up to $400,000 (40,000 shares) of common stock, subject to the overall purchase and ownership limitations.  See “—Additional Limitations on Common Stock Purchases.”  We retain the right to accept or reject in whole or in part any orders in the syndicated community offering.  Unless the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System permits otherwise, accepted orders for our common stock in the syndicated community offering will first be filled up to a maximum of 2% of the shares sold in the offering on a basis that will promote a widespread distribution of our common stock.  Thereafter any remaining shares will be allocated on an equal number of shares per order basis until all shares have been allocated or orders have been filled, as the case may be.  Unless the syndicated community offering begins during the subscription offering or the community offering, the syndicated community offering will begin as soon as possible after the completion of the subscription and community offerings.

 

Normal customer ticketing will be used for orders through Keefe, Bruyette & Woods, Inc. or other participating broker-dealers.  Alternatively, order forms may be used to purchase shares of common stock in the syndicated offering.  Investors in the syndicated offering electing to use stock order forms would follow the same procedures applicable to purchasing shares in the subscription and community offering. See “—Procedure for Purchasing Shares.”

 

The syndicated community offering will be conducted in accordance with certain Securities and Exchange Commission rules applicable to best efforts “min/max” offerings.  Keefe, Bruyette & Woods, Inc. and the other broker-dealers participating in the syndicated community offering may accept payment for shares of common stock to be purchased in the syndicated community offering, to the extent consistent with these Securities and Exchange Commission rules applicable to best efforts “min/max” offerings, through a “sweep” arrangement.  Under a “sweep” arrangement, a customer’s brokerage account at the applicable participating broker-dealer will be debited in the amount of the purchase price for the shares of common stock that such customer intends to purchase in the syndicated community offering on or prior to the closing date, as determined in compliance with Securities and Exchange Commission rules, and such customers must authorize participating broker-dealers to debit their brokerage accounts and must have the funds for full payment in their accounts on such date.  Funds received through a sweep arrangement, if utilized, will be promptly transmitted to a segregated account at Georgetown Savings Bank.  If the closing of the offering does not occur, either as a result of not confirming receipt of $8,500,000 in gross proceeds (the minimum of the offering range) or the inability to satisfy other closing conditions to the offering, the funds will be promptly returned.

 

The closing of the syndicated community offering is subject to conditions set forth in an agency agreement among New Georgetown, Georgetown-Federal, Georgetown Bancorp, MHC and Georgetown Savings Bank on the one hand and Keefe, Bruyette & Woods, Inc. on the other hand.  If and when all the conditions for the closing are met, funds for common stock sold in the syndicated community offering, less fees and commissions payable, will be delivered promptly to us.

 

If for any reason we cannot affect a syndicated community offering of shares of common stock not purchased in the subscription and community offerings, or in the event that there are an insignificant number of shares remaining unsold after such offerings, we will try to make other arrangements for the sale of unsubscribed shares, if possible.  The Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System and the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority must approve any such arrangements.

 

Expiration Date.  The syndicated community offering may begin concurrently with, during or after the subscription offering, and may terminate at the same time as the subscription offering, but must terminate no more than 45 days following the subscription offering, unless extended with regulatory approval. New Georgetown may decide to extend the community offering for any reason and is not required to give purchasers notice of any such extension unless such period extends beyond August 3, 2012.

If for any reason we cannot affect a syndicated community offering of shares of common stock not purchased in the subscription and community offerings, or in the event that there are a significant number of shares remaining unsold after such offerings, we will try to make other arrangements for the sale of unsubscribed shares, if possible.  The Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System and the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority must approve any such arrangements.

 

Additional Limitations on Common Stock Purchases

 

The plan of conversion and reorganization includes the following additional limitations on the number of shares of common stock that may be purchased in the offering:

 

(i)                                     No person may purchase fewer than 25 shares of common stock;

 

(ii)                                  Tax qualified employee benefit plans, specifically our employee stock ownership plan and 401(k) plan, may purchase in the aggregate up to 10% of the shares of common stock issued in the offering, including shares issued in the event of an increase in the offering range of up to 15%;

 

(iii)                               Except for our tax qualified employee benefit plans, as described above, no person or entity, together with associates or persons acting in concert with such person or entity, may purchase more than $400,000 (40,000 shares) of common stock in all categories of the offering combined;

 

(iv)                              Shareholders of Georgetown-Federal are subject to an ownership limitation.  As previously described, public shareholders of Georgetown-Federal will receive shares of New Georgetown common stock in exchange for their shares of Georgetown-Federal common stock. The number of shares of common stock that a shareholder may purchase in the offering, together with associates or persons acting in concert with such shareholder, when combined with the shares that the shareholder and his or her associates will receive in exchange for existing Georgetown-Federal common stock, may not exceed 5% of the shares of common stock of New Georgetown to be issued and outstanding at the completion of the conversion.  However, if, based on a shareholder’s current ownership level, the shareholder will own more than 5% of the total shares of common stock to be issued and outstanding after the completion of the conversion, the shareholder will not need to divest any of his or her shares; and

 

(v)                                 The maximum number of shares of common stock that may be purchased in all categories of the offering combined by executive officers and directors of Georgetown Savings Bank and their associates, in the aggregate, when combined with shares of common stock they receive in exchange for existing shares, may not exceed 32% of the total shares issued in the conversion.

 

Depending upon market or financial conditions, our board of directors, with the approval of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System and without further approval of depositors of Georgetown Savings Bank, may decrease or increase the purchase and ownership limitations.  If a purchase limitation is increased, subscribers in the subscription offering who ordered the maximum amount and who indicated a desire to be resolicited on the stock order form will be given and, in our sole discretion, some other large purchasers may be given, the opportunity to increase their orders, up to the then applicable limit.  The effect of this type of resolicitation will be an increase in the number of shares of common stock owned by persons who choose to increase their orders.  In the event that a maximum purchase limitation is increased to 5% of the shares sold in the offering, such limitation may be further increased to up to 9.99%, provided that orders for shares of common stock exceeding 5% of the shares sold in the offering shall not exceed in the aggregate 10% of the total shares sold in the offering.  Requests to purchase additional shares of common stock in the event that the purchase limitation is so increased will be determined by the boards of directors of New Georgetown and Georgetown Bancorp, MHC in their sole discretion.

 

120



 

In the event of an increase in the offering range of up to 1,322,500 shares of common stock, shares will be allocated in the following order of priority in accordance with the plan of conversion and reorganization:

 

(i)                                     to fill the subscriptions of our tax-qualified employee benefit plans, specifically the employee stock ownership plan and our 401(k) plan, for up to 10% of the total number of shares of common stock issued in the offering;

 

(ii)                                  in the event that there is an oversubscription at the Eligible Account Holder, Supplemental Eligible Account Holder or Other Depositor levels, to fill unfilled subscriptions of these subscribers according to their respective priorities; and

 

(iii)                               to fill unfilled subscriptions in the community offering, with preference given first to natural persons (including trusts of natural persons) residing in the Massachusetts counties of Suffolk, Middlesex and Essex and the New Hampshire county of Rockingham, then to Georgetown-Federal’s public shareholders as of April 30, 2012, and then to members of the general public.

 

The term “associate” of a person means:

 

(i)                                     any corporation or organization, other than Georgetown-Federal, Georgetown Savings Bank or a majority-owned subsidiary of Georgetown Savings Bank, of which the person is a senior officer, partner or 10% beneficial shareholder;

 

(ii)                                  any trust or other estate in which the person has a substantial beneficial interest or serves as a trustee or in a similar fiduciary capacity; provided, however, it does not include any employee stock benefit plan in which the person has a substantial beneficial interest or serves as trustee or in a similar fiduciary capacity; and

 

(iii)                               any blood or marriage relative of the person, who either has the same home as the person or who is a director or officer of Georgetown-Federal or Georgetown Savings Bank.

 

The term “acting in concert” means:

 

(i)                                     knowing participation in a joint activity or interdependent conscious parallel action towards a common goal whether or not pursuant to an express agreement; or

 

(ii)                                  a combination or pooling of voting or other interests in the securities of an issuer for a common purpose pursuant to any contract, understanding, relationship, agreement or other arrangement, whether written or otherwise.

 

A person or company that acts in concert with another person or company (“other party”) will also be deemed to be acting in concert with any person or company who is also acting in concert with that other party, except that any tax-qualified employee stock benefit plan will not be deemed to be acting in concert with its trustee or a person who serves in a similar capacity solely for the purpose of determining whether common stock held by the trustee and common stock held by the employee stock benefit plan will be aggregated.

 

We have the sole discretion to determine whether prospective purchasers are “associates” or “acting in concert.”  Persons having the same address, and persons exercising subscription rights through qualifying deposits registered at the same address will be deemed to be acting in concert unless we determine otherwise.

 

Our directors are not treated as associates of each other solely because of their membership on the board of directors. Common stock purchased in the offering will be freely transferable except for shares purchased by directors and certain officers of New Georgetown or Georgetown Savings Bank and except as described below.  Any purchases made by any associate of New Georgetown or Georgetown Savings Bank for the explicit purpose of meeting the minimum number of shares of common stock required to be sold in order to complete the offering shall

 

121



 

be made for investment purposes only and not with a view toward redistribution.  In addition, under Financial Industry Regulatory Authority guidelines, members of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority and their associates are subject to certain restrictions on transfer of securities purchased in accordance with subscription rights and to certain reporting requirements upon purchase of these securities.  For a further discussion of limitations on purchases of our shares of common stock at the time of conversion and thereafter, see “—Certain Restrictions on Purchase or Transfer of Our Shares after Conversion” and “Restrictions on Acquisition of New Georgetown.”

 

Plan of Distribution; Selling Agent Compensation

 

To assist in the marketing of our shares of common stock, we have retained Keefe, Bruyette & Woods, Inc., which is a broker-dealer registered with the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority.  In its role as financial advisor, Keefe, Bruyette & Woods, Inc. will:

 

·                                          provide advice on the financial and securities market implications of the plan of conversion and reorganization and related corporate documents, including our business plan;

 

·                                          assist in structuring our stock offering, including developing and assisting in implementing a market strategy for the stock offering;

 

·                                          review all offering documents, including this prospectus, stock order forms and related offering materials (we are responsible for the preparation and filing of such documents);

 

·                                          assist us in preparing for and scheduling meetings with potential investors and broker-dealers, as necessary;

 

·                                          assist us in analyzing proposals from outside vendors retained in connection with the stock offering, including printers, transfer agents and appraisal firms;

 

·                                          assist us in the drafting and distribution of press releases as required or appropriate in connection with the stock offering;

 

·                                          meet with the board of directors and management to discuss any of these services; and

 

·                                          provide such other financial advisory and investment banking services in connection with the stock offering as may be agreed upon by Keefe, Bruyette & Woods, Inc. and us.

 

For these services, Keefe, Bruyette & Woods, Inc. has received an advisory and administrative fee of $25,000, and will receive a fee of 1% of the dollar amount of all shares of common stock sold in the subscription and community offerings.  The $25,000 advisory and administrative fee will be credited against the 1% sales fee.  No sales fee will be payable to Keefe, Bruyette & Woods, Inc. with respect to shares purchased by officers, directors, employees or their immediate families and shares purchased by our tax-qualified and stock-based compensation plans (except individual retirement accounts) or similar plans we have established for our directors or employees, and no sales fee will be payable with respect to the exchange shares.

 

The plan of conversion provides that, if necessary, all shares of common stock not purchased in the subscription offering and community offering may be offered for sale to the general public in a syndicated community offering to be managed by Keefe, Bruyette & Woods, Inc.  In such capacity, Keefe, Bruyette & Woods, Inc. may form a syndicate of other broker-dealers.  Neither Keefe, Bruyette & Woods, Inc. nor any registered broker-dealer will have any obligation to take or purchase any shares of common stock in the syndicated community offering; however, Keefe, Bruyette & Woods, Inc. has agreed to use its best efforts in the sale of shares in any syndicated community offering.  If there is a syndicated community offering, Keefe, Bruyette & Woods, Inc. will receive a management fee not to exceed 6.00% of the aggregate dollar amount of the common stock sold in the syndicated community offering.  Of this amount, Keefe, Bruyette & Woods, Inc. will pass on to selected broker-dealers, who assist in the syndicated community offering, an amount competitive with gross underwriting discounts

 

122



 

charged at such time for comparable amounts of stock sold at a comparable price per share in a similar market environment.

 

As disclosed under “—Syndicated Community Offering,” the syndicated community offering will be conducted in accordance with certain Securities and Exchange Commission rules applicable to best efforts “min/max” offerings.   Keefe, Bruyette & Woods, Inc. and the other broker-dealers participating in the syndicated community offering may accept payment for shares of common stock to be purchased in the syndicated community offering, to the extent consistent with these Securities and Exchange Commission rules applicable to best efforts “min/max” offerings, through a “sweep” arrangement.    Under a “sweep” arrangement, a customer’s brokerage account at the applicable participating broker-dealer will be debited in the amount of the purchase price for the shares of common stock that such customer intends to purchase in the syndicated community offering on or prior to the closing date, as determined in compliance with Securities and Exchange Commission rules, and such customers must authorize participating broker-dealers to debit their brokerage accounts and must have the funds for full payment in their accounts on such date.  Funds received through a sweep arrangement, if utilized, will be promptly transmitted to a segregated account at Georgetown Savings Bank.  If the closing of the offering does not occur, either as a result of not confirming receipt of $8,500,000 in gross proceeds (the minimum of the offering range) or the inability to satisfy other closing conditions to the offering, the funds will be promptly returned.

 

The closing of the syndicated community offering is subject to conditions set forth in an agency agreement among New Georgetown, Georgetown-Federal, Georgetown Bancorp, MHC and Georgetown Savings Bank on the one hand and Keefe, Bruyette & Woods, Inc. on the other hand.  If and when all the conditions for the closing are met, funds for common stock sold in the syndicated community offering, less fees and commissions payable, will be delivered promptly to us.  If gross proceeds equal to at least the minimum of the offering range are not received, or other closing conditions are not satisfied, the offering will not close and funds will be returned promptly.

 

Keefe, Bruyette & Woods, Inc. also will be reimbursed for reasonable expenses in an amount not to exceed $5,000 and for attorney’s fees and expenses not to exceed $55,000.  In the event of unusual circumstances or delays or a re-solicitation in connection with the offering, Keefe, Bruyette & Woods, Inc. may be reimbursed for additional allowable expenses not to exceed $5,000 and additional attorney’s fees and expenses not to exceed $25,000, provided that the aggregate of all reimbursable expenses and legal fees and expenses shall not exceed $90,000.  If the plan of conversion is terminated or if Keefe, Bruyette & Woods, Inc.’s engagement is terminated in accordance with the provisions of the agreement, Keefe, Bruyette & Woods, Inc. will only receive reimbursement of its reasonable out-of-pocket expenses and the portion of the management fee payable and will return any amounts paid or advanced by us in excess of these amounts.

 

We will indemnify Keefe, Bruyette & Woods, Inc. against liabilities and expenses (including legal fees) related to or arising out of Keefe, Bruyette & Woods, Inc.’s engagement as our financial advisor and performance of services as our financial advisor.

 

Some of our directors and executive officers may participate in the solicitation of offers to purchase common stock. These persons will be reimbursed for their reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with the solicitation. Other regular employees of Georgetown Savings Bank may assist in the offering, but only in ministerial capacities, and may provide clerical work in effecting a sales transaction.  No offers or sales may be made by tellers or at the teller counters.  Investment-related questions of prospective purchasers will be directed to executive officers or registered representatives of Keefe, Bruyette & Woods, Inc.  Our other employees have been instructed not to solicit offers to purchase shares of common stock or provide advice regarding the purchase of common stock.  We will rely on Rule 3a4-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and sales of common stock will be conducted within the requirements of Rule 3a4-1, so as to permit officers, directors and employees to participate in the sale of common stock. None of our officers, directors or employees will be compensated in connection with their participation in the offering.

 

123



 

We have also engaged Keefe, Bruyette & Woods, Inc. to act as our conversion agent in connection with the stock offering. In its role as conversion agent, Keefe, Bruyette & Woods, Inc. will, among other things:

 

·              consolidate accounts and develop a central file;

 

·              prepare proxy forms and proxy materials;

 

·              tabulate proxies and ballots;

 

·              act as inspector of election at the special meeting of depositors;

 

·              assist us in establishing and managing the Stock Information Center;

 

·              assist our financial printer with labeling of stock offering materials;

 

·              process stock order forms and produce daily reports and analysis;

 

·              assist our transfer agent with the generation and mailing of stock certificates;

 

·              perform interest and refund calculations; and

 

·              create tax forms for interest reporting.

 

For these services, Keefe, Bruyette & Woods, Inc. will receive a fee of $15,000, and we have made an advance payment of $5,000 to Keefe, Bruyette & Woods, Inc. with respect to this fee.  We also will reimburse Keefe, Bruyette & Woods, Inc. for its reasonable out-of-pocket expenses associated with its acting as conversion agent up to a maximum of $10,000.  We will indemnify Keefe, Bruyette & Woods, Inc. against liabilities and expenses (including legal fees) related to or arising out of Keefe, Bruyette & Woods, Inc.’s engagement as our conversion agent and performance of services as our conversion agent.

We, and each of our directors and executive officers have agreed, subject to certain exceptions, that during the period beginning on the date of this prospectus and ending 90 days after the closing of the offering, without the prior written consent of Keefe, Bruyette & Woods, Inc., we will not (i) offer, pledge, sell, contract to sell, sell any option or contract to purchase, purchase any option or contract to sell, grant any option, right or warrant to purchase, lend or otherwise transfer or dispose of, directly or indirectly, any shares of Georgetown-Federal or New Georgetown common stock or any securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for shares of New Georgetown stock, (ii) enter into any swap or other arrangement that transfers to another, in whole or in part, any of the economic consequences of ownership of the shares of Georgetown-Federal or New Georgetown common stock, (iii) exercise any stock options providing for the issuance of shares of Georgetown-Federal or New Georgetown common stock during the offering, or (iv) announce any intention to take any of the foregoing actions.  In the event that either (1) during the last 17 days of the restricted period described above we issue an earnings release or material news or a material event relating to us occurs; or (2) prior to the expiration of the restricted period described above, we announce that we will release earnings results during the 16-day period beginning on the last day of the restricted period, the restrictions described above shall continue to apply until the expiration of the 18-day period beginning on the issuance of the earnings release or the occurrence of the material news or material event.

 

Procedure for Purchasing Shares

 

Expiration Date. The subscription offering will expire at 12:00 noon, Eastern Time, on June 19, 2012.  If held, the community offering is expected to expire at the same time.  We may, however, extend one or both deadlines for up to 45 days, with the approval of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, if required. This extension may be approved by us, in our sole discretion, without notice to subscribers in the offering. Any

 

124



 

extension of the subscription and/or community offering beyond August 3, 2012 would require the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System’s approval.  If the offering is so extended, all subscribers will be notified and given an opportunity to confirm, change or cancel their orders.  If you do not respond to this notice, we will promptly return your funds with interest at 0.05% per annum or cancel your deposit account withdrawal authorization.  If the offering range is decreased below the minimum of the offering range or is increased above the adjusted maximum of the offering range, all subscribers’ stock orders will be cancelled, their deposit account withdrawal authorizations will be cancelled, and funds submitted for the purchase of stock in the subscription and community offerings will be returned promptly, with interest at 0.05% per annum.  We will then resolicit the subscribers, giving them an opportunity to place a new stock order for a period of time.

 

We reserve the right in our sole discretion to terminate the offering at any time and for any reason, in which case we will cancel any deposit account withdrawal authorizations and promptly return all funds submitted, with interest at 0.05% per annum from the date of processing as described above.

 

Use of Order Forms in the Subscription and Community Offerings. In order to purchase shares of common stock in the subscription offering or community offering, you must properly complete an original stock order form and remit full payment.  We are not required to accept orders submitted on photocopied or facsimiled order forms.  All stock order forms must be received (not postmarked) prior to 12:00 noon, Eastern Time, on June 19, 2012.  We are not required to accept stock order forms that are not received by that time, are not signed or are otherwise executed defectively or are received without full payment or without appropriate deposit account withdrawal instructions.  We are not required to notify subscribers of incomplete or improperly executed stock order forms.  We have the right to waive or permit the correction of incomplete or improperly executed stock order forms.  We do not represent, however, that we will do so.  You may submit your order form and payment by mail using the return envelope provided, by bringing your order form to our Stock Information Center or to any branch office or by overnight delivery to the indicated address on the order form.  Due to recent reductions in U.S. Postal Service 1st Class Mail delivery standards, we encourage subscribers to consider in-person or overnight delivery to enhance the likelihood that your order is received before the deadline.

 

Once tendered, a stock order form cannot be modified or revoked without our consent.  We reserve the absolute right, in our sole discretion, to reject orders received in the community offering, in whole or in part, at the time of receipt or at any time prior to completion of the offering.  If you are ordering shares in the subscription offering, you must represent that you are purchasing shares for your own account and that you have no agreement or understanding with any person for the sale or transfer of the shares.  We have the right to reject any order submitted in the offering by a person who we believe is making false representations or who we otherwise believe, either alone or acting in concert with others, is violating, evading, circumventing, or intends to violate, evade or circumvent the terms and conditions of the plan of conversion and reorganization.  Our interpretation of the terms and conditions of the plan of conversion and reorganization and of the acceptability of the stock order forms will be final.

 

By signing the stock order form, you will be acknowledging that the common stock is not a deposit or savings account and is not federally insured or otherwise guaranteed by Georgetown Savings Bank or the federal government, and that you received a copy of this prospectus. However, signing the order form will not result in you waiving your rights under the Securities Act of 1933 or the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

 

Payment for Shares. Payment for all shares of common stock will be required to accompany all completed stock order forms for the purchase to be valid. Payment for shares in the subscription and community offerings may only be made by:

 

(i)            personal check, bank check or money order, made payable to Georgetown Bancorp, Inc.; or

 

(ii)           authorization of withdrawal of available funds from the types of Georgetown Savings Bank deposit accounts described on the stock order form.

 

Appropriate means for designating withdrawals from deposit accounts at Georgetown Savings Bank are provided on the stock order form. The funds designated must be available in the account(s) at the time the stock

 

125



 

order form is received. A hold will be placed on these funds, making them unavailable to the depositor. Funds authorized for withdrawal will continue to earn interest within the account at the contractual rate until the offering is completed, at which time the designated withdrawal will be made. Interest penalties for early withdrawal applicable to certificate accounts will not apply to withdrawals authorized for the purchase of shares of common stock; however, if a withdrawal results in a certificate account with a balance less than the applicable minimum balance requirement, the certificate will be canceled at the time of withdrawal without penalty and the remaining balance will earn interest at the current passbook rate subsequent to the withdrawal.  In the case of payments made by personal check, these funds must be available in the account(s). Checks and money orders received in the subscription and community offerings will be immediately cashed and placed in a segregated account at Georgetown Savings Bank and will earn interest at 0.05% per annum from the date payment is processed until the offering is completed or terminated.

 

You may not remit cash, wire transfers, Georgetown Savings Bank line of credit checks or any type of third-party checks (including those payable to you and endorsed over to New Georgetown).  You may not designate on your stock order form direct withdrawal from a Georgetown Savings Bank IRA or other retirement account.  See “—Using Retirement Account Funds.”  Additionally, you may not designate a direct withdrawal from Georgetown Savings Bank accounts with check-writing privileges.  Please provide a check instead.  If you request that we directly withdraw the funds, we reserve the right to interpret that as your authorization to treat those funds as if we had received a check for the designated amount, and we will immediately withdraw the amount from your checking account.  If permitted by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, in the event we resolicit large purchasers, as described above in “—Additional Limitations on Common Stock Purchases,” such purchasers who wish to increase their purchases will not be able to use personal checks to pay for the additional shares but may be allowed to pay by wire transfer.

 

Regulations prohibit Georgetown Savings Bank from lending funds or extending credit to any persons to purchase shares of common stock in the offering.

 

We shall have the right, in our sole discretion, to permit institutional investors to submit irrevocable orders together with the legally binding commitment for payment and to thereafter pay for the shares of common stock for which they subscribe in the community offering at any time prior to 48 hours before the completion of the conversion.  This payment may be made by wire transfer.

 

If our employee stock ownership plan purchases shares in the offering, it will not be required to pay for such shares until completion of the offering, provided that there is a loan commitment from an unrelated financial institution or New Georgetown to lend to the employee stock ownership plan the necessary amount to fund the purchase.  In addition, if our 401(k) plan purchases shares in the offering, it will not be required to pay for such shares until completion of the offering.

 

Using Retirement Account Funds.  If you are interested in using funds in your IRA or other retirement account to purchase shares of common stock, you must do so through a self-directed retirement account.  By regulation, Georgetown Savings Bank’s retirement accounts are not self-directed, so they cannot be invested in our shares of common stock.  Therefore, if you wish to use funds that are currently in a Georgetown Savings Bank IRA or other retirement account, you may not designate on the stock order form that you wish funds to be withdrawn from the account for the purchase of common stock. Prior to placing your stock order, the funds you wish to use for the purchase of common stock must be transferred to an independent trustee or custodian, such as a brokerage firm, offering self-directed retirement accounts.  Your stock order must be made through that account.  If you do not have such an account, you will need to establish one.  An annual administrative fee may be payable to the independent trustee or custodian.  There will be no early withdrawal or Internal Revenue Service interest penalties for these transfers.  Individuals interested in using funds in an IRA or any other retirement account, whether held at Georgetown Savings Bank or elsewhere, to purchase shares of common stock should contact our Stock Information Center for guidance as soon as possible, preferably at least two weeks prior to the June 19, 2012 offering deadline.  Processing such transactions takes additional time, and whether such funds can be used may depend on limitations imposed by the institution where such funds are currently held. We cannot guarantee that you will be able to use such funds.

 

126



 

Delivery of Stock Certificates. Certificates representing shares of common stock sold in the subscription offering and community offering will be mailed to the certificate registration address noted by purchasers on the stock order form.  It is possible that until certificates for the common stock are delivered to purchasers, purchasers might not be able to sell the shares of common stock that they ordered, even though the shares of common stock will have begun trading.  Your ability to sell the shares of common stock before receiving your stock certificate will depend on arrangements you may make with a brokerage firm.

 

Restrictions on Transfer of Subscription Rights and Shares

 

Federal regulations prohibit any person with subscription rights, including Eligible Account Holders, Supplemental Eligible Account Holders and Other Depositors, from transferring or entering into any agreement or understanding to transfer the legal or beneficial ownership of the subscription rights issued under the plan of conversion and reorganization or the shares of common stock to be issued upon their exercise. These rights may be exercised only by the person to whom they are granted and only for his or her account.  When registering your stock purchase on the stock order form, you should not add the name(s) of persons who do not have subscription rights or who qualify only in a lower subscription offering purchase priority than you do.  Doing so may jeopardize your subscription rights.  You may add only those who were eligible to purchase shares of common stock in the subscription offering at your date of eligibility.  Each person exercising subscription rights will be required to certify that he or she is purchasing shares solely for his or her own account and that he or she has no agreement or understanding regarding the sale or transfer of such shares. The regulations also prohibit any person from offering or making an announcement of an offer or intent to make an offer to purchase subscription rights or shares of common stock to be issued upon their exercise prior to completion of the offering.

 

We will pursue any and all legal and equitable remedies in the event we become aware of the transfer of subscription rights, and we will not honor orders that we believe involve the transfer of subscription rights.

 

Other Restrictions

 

Notwithstanding any other provision of the plan of conversion and reorganization, no person is entitled to purchase any shares of common stock to the extent the purchase would be illegal under any federal or state law or regulation, including state “blue sky” regulations, or would violate regulations or policies of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, particularly those regarding free riding and withholding. We may ask for an acceptable legal opinion from any purchaser as to the legality of his or her purchase and we may refuse to honor any purchase order if an opinion is not timely furnished.  In addition, we are not required to offer shares of common stock to any person who resides in a foreign country, or in a state of the United States with respect to which any of the following apply:

 

(i)            a small number of persons otherwise eligible to subscribe for shares under the plan of conversion and reorganization reside in such state;

 

(ii)           the issuance of subscription rights or the offer or sale of shares of common stock to such persons would require us, under the securities laws of such state, to register as a broker, dealer, salesman or agent or to register or otherwise qualify our securities for sale in such state; or

 

(iii)          such registration or qualification would be impracticable for reasons of cost or otherwise.

 

Stock Information Center

 

If you have any questions regarding the offering, please call our information hotline at (877) 860-2086 to speak to a representative of Keefe, Bruyette & Woods, Inc.  Representatives are available by telephone Monday through Friday, 10:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m., Eastern Time.  You may also meet in person with a representative by visiting our stock information center located in our office at 2 East Main Street, Georgetown, Massachusetts on

 

127



 

Mondays from 12:00 noon to 4:00 p.m. and Tuesdays and Wednesdays from 8:30 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.  The stock information center will be closed on weekends and bank holidays.

 

Liquidation Rights

 

Liquidation prior to the conversion.  In the unlikely event that Georgetown Bancorp, MHC is liquidated prior to the conversion, all claims of creditors of Georgetown Bancorp, MHC would be paid first. Thereafter, if there were any assets of Georgetown Bancorp, MHC remaining, these assets would first be distributed to certain depositors of Georgetown Savings Bank under such depositors’ liquidation rights.  The amount received by such depositors would be equal to their pro rata interest in the remaining value of Georgetown Bancorp, MHC after claims of creditors, based on the relative size of their deposit accounts.

 

Liquidation following the conversion.  The plan of conversion and reorganization provides for the establishment, upon the completion of the conversion, of a liquidation account by New Georgetown for the benefit of Eligible Account Holders and Supplemental Eligible Account Holders in an amount equal to (i) Georgetown Bancorp, MHC’s ownership interest in Georgetown-Federal’s total shareholders’ equity as of the date of the latest statement of financial condition used in this prospectus plus (ii) the value of the net assets of Georgetown Bancorp, MHC as of the date of the latest statement of financial condition of Georgetown Bancorp, MHC prior to the consummation of the conversion (excluding its ownership of Georgetown-Federal). The plan of conversion and reorganization also provides for the establishment of a parallel liquidation account in Georgetown Savings Bank to support the New Georgetown liquidation account in the event New Georgetown does not have sufficient assets to fund its obligations under the New Georgetown liquidation account.

 

In the unlikely event that Georgetown Savings Bank were to liquidate after the conversion, all claims of creditors, including those of depositors, would be paid first.  However, except with respect to the liquidation account to be established in New Georgetown, a depositor’s claim would be solely for the principal amount of his or her deposit accounts plus accrued interest. Depositors generally would not have an interest in the value of the assets of Georgetown Savings Bank or New Georgetown above that amount.

 

The liquidation account established by New Georgetown is designed to provide qualifying depositors a liquidation interest (exchanged for the liquidation interests such persons had in Georgetown Bancorp, MHC) after the conversion in the event of a complete liquidation of New Georgetown and Georgetown Savings Bank or a liquidation solely of Georgetown Savings Bank.  Specifically, in the unlikely event that either (i) Georgetown Savings Bank or (ii) New Georgetown and Georgetown Savings Bank were to liquidate after the conversion, all claims of creditors, including those of depositors, would be paid first, followed by a distribution to depositors as of September 30, 2010 and March 31, 2012 of their interests in the liquidation account maintained by New Georgetown.  Also, in a complete liquidation of both entities, or of Georgetown Savings Bank only, when New Georgetown has insufficient assets (other than the stock of Georgetown Savings Bank) to fund the liquidation account distribution due to Eligible Account Holders and Supplemental Eligible Account Holders and Georgetown Savings Bank has positive net worth, Georgetown Savings Bank shall immediately make a distribution to fund New Georgetown’s remaining obligations under the liquidation account. In no event will any Eligible Account Holder or Supplemental Eligible Account Holder be entitled to a distribution that exceeds such holder’s interest in the liquidation account maintained by New Georgetown as adjusted from time to time pursuant to the plan of conversion and reorganization and federal regulations.  If New Georgetown is completely liquidated or sold apart from a sale or liquidation of Georgetown Savings Bank, then the New Georgetown liquidation account will cease to exist and Eligible Account Holders and Supplemental Eligible Account Holders will receive an equivalent interest in the Georgetown Savings Bank liquidation account, subject to the same rights and terms as the New Georgetown liquidation account.

 

Pursuant to the plan of conversion and reorganization, after two years from the date of conversion and upon the written request of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, New Georgetown will eliminate or transfer the liquidation account and the depositors’ interests in such account to Georgetown Savings Bank and the liquidation account shall thereupon be subsumed into the liquidation account of Georgetown Savings Bank.

 

128



 

Under federal rules and regulations, a post-conversion merger, consolidation, or similar combination or transaction with another depository institution or depository institution holding company in which New Georgetown or Georgetown Savings Bank is not the surviving institution, would not be considered a liquidation.  In such a transaction, the liquidation account would be assumed by the surviving institution or company.

 

Each Eligible Account Holder and Supplemental Eligible Account Holder would have an initial pro-rata interest in the liquidation account for each deposit account, including savings accounts, transaction accounts such as negotiable order of withdrawal accounts, money market deposit accounts, and certificates of deposit, with a balance of $50.00 or more held in Georgetown Savings Bank on September 30, 2010 or March 31, 2012 equal to the proportion that the balance of each Eligible Account Holder’s and Supplemental Eligible Account Holder’s deposit account on September 30, 2010 and March 31, 2012, respectively, bears to the balance of all deposit accounts of Eligible Account Holders and Supplemental Eligible Account Holders in Georgetown Savings Bank on such date.

 

If, however, on any December 31 annual closing date commencing after the effective date of the conversion, the amount in any such deposit account is less than the amount in the deposit account on September 30, 2010 or March 31, 2012, or any other annual closing date, then the interest in the liquidation account relating to such deposit account would be reduced from time to time by the proportion of any such reduction, and such interest will cease to exist if such deposit account is closed. In addition, no interest in the liquidation account would ever be increased despite any subsequent increase in the related deposit account. Payment pursuant to liquidation rights of Eligible Account Holders and Supplemental Eligible Account Holders would be separate and apart from the payment of any insured deposit accounts to such depositor. Any assets remaining after the above liquidation rights of Eligible Account Holders and Supplemental Eligible Account Holders are satisfied would be available for distribution to shareholders.

 

Material Income Tax Consequences

 

Completion of the conversion is subject to the prior receipt of an opinion of counsel or tax advisor with respect to federal and state income tax consequences of the conversion to Georgetown Bancorp, MHC, Georgetown-Federal, Georgetown Savings Bank, Eligible Account Holders, Supplemental Eligible Account Holders and Other Depositors.  Unlike private letter rulings, opinions of counsel or tax advisors are not binding on the Internal Revenue Service or any state taxing authority, and such authorities may disagree with such opinions. In the event of such disagreement, there can be no assurance that New Georgetown or Georgetown Savings Bank would prevail in a judicial proceeding.

 

Georgetown Bancorp, MHC, Georgetown-Federal, Georgetown Savings Bank and New Georgetown have received an opinion of counsel, Luse Gorman Pomerenk & Schick, P.C., regarding all of the material federal income tax consequences of the conversion, which includes the following:

 

1.             The merger of Georgetown Bancorp, MHC with and into Georgetown-Federal will qualify as a tax-free reorganization within the meaning of Section 368(a)(1)(A) of the Internal Revenue Code.

 

2.             The constructive exchange of Eligible Account Holders’ and Supplemental Eligible Account Holders’ liquidation interests in Georgetown Bancorp, MHC for liquidation interests in Georgetown-Federal will satisfy the continuity of interest requirement of Section 1.368-1(b) of the Federal Income Tax Regulations.

 

3.             Neither Georgetown Bancorp, MHC nor Georgetown-Federal will recognize any gain or loss on the transfer of the assets of Georgetown Bancorp, MHC to Georgetown-Federal in constructive exchange for liquidation interests in Georgetown-Federal or the constructive distribution of such liquidation interests to Eligible Account Holders or Supplemental Eligible Account Holders.   Neither Eligible Account Holders nor Supplemental Eligible Account Holders will recognize any gain or loss on the constructive receipt of the liquidation interests in Georgetown-Federal in exchange for their liquidation interests and voting rights in Georgetown Bancorp, MHC.

 

129



 

4.             The basis of the assets of Georgetown Bancorp, MHC to be received by Georgetown-Federal will be the same as the basis of such assets when held by Georgetown Bancorp, MHC.  The holding period of the assets received by Georgetown-Federal will include the period such assets where held by Georgetown Bancorp, MHC.

 

5.             The merger of Georgetown-Federal with and into New Georgetown will constitute a mere change in identity, form or place of organization within the meaning of Section 368(a)(1)(F) of the Internal Revenue Code and, therefore, will qualify as a tax-free reorganization within the meaning of Section 368(a)(1)(F) of the Internal Revenue Code. Neither Georgetown-Federal nor New Georgetown will recognize gain or loss as a result of such merger.

 

6.             The basis of the assets of Georgetown-Federal to be received by New Georgetown will be the same as the basis of such assets when held by Georgetown-Federal.   The holding period of the assets received by New Georgetown will include the period such assets where held by Georgetown-Federal.

 

7.             Current shareholders of Georgetown-Federal will not recognize any gain or loss upon their exchange of Georgetown-Federal common stock for New Georgetown common stock, except to the extent of their receipt of fractional share interests.

 

8.             Eligible Account Holders and Supplemental Eligible Account Holders will not recognize any gain or loss upon the constructive exchange of their liquidation interests in Georgetown-Federal for interests in the liquidation account in New Georgetown.

 

9.             The exchange by the Eligible Account Holders and Supplemental Eligible Account Holders of the liquidation interests that they constructively received in Georgetown-Federal for interests in the liquidation account established in New Georgetown will satisfy the continuity of interest requirement of Section 1.368-1(b) of the Federal Income Tax Regulations.

 

10.           Each shareholder’s aggregate basis in shares of New Georgetown common stock (including fractional share interests) received in the exchange will be the same as the aggregate basis of Georgetown-Federal common stock surrendered in the exchange.

 

11.           Each shareholder’s holding period in his or her New Georgetown common stock received in the exchange will include the period during which the Georgetown-Federal common stock surrendered was held, provided that the Georgetown-Federal common stock surrendered is a capital asset in the hands of the shareholder on the date of the exchange.

 

12.           Cash received by any current shareholder of Georgetown-Federal in lieu of a fractional share interest in shares of New Georgetown common stock will be treated as having been received as a distribution in full payment in exchange for a fractional share interest of New Georgetown common stock, which such shareholder would otherwise be entitled to receive. Accordingly, a shareholder will recognize gain or loss equal to the difference between the cash received and the basis of the fractional share. If the common stock is held by the shareholder as a capital asset, the gain or loss will be capital gain or loss.

 

13.           It is more likely than not that the fair market value of the nontransferable subscription rights to purchase New Georgetown common stock is zero. Accordingly, no gain or loss will be recognized by Eligible Account Holders, Supplemental Eligible Account Holders or Other Depositors upon distribution to them of nontransferable subscription rights to purchase shares of New Georgetown common stock. Eligible Account Holders, Supplemental Eligible Account Holders and Other Depositors will not realize any taxable income as the result of the exercise by them of the nontransferable subscriptions rights.

 

130



 

14.           It is more likely than not that the fair market value of the benefit provided by the liquidation account of Georgetown Savings Bank supporting the payment of the New Georgetown liquidation account in the event New Georgetown lacks sufficient net assets is zero.  Accordingly, it is more likely than not that no gain or loss will be recognized by Eligible Account Holders and Supplemental Eligible Account Holders upon the constructive distribution to them of such rights in the Georgetown Savings Bank liquidation account as of the effective date of the merger of Georgetown-Federal with and into New Georgetown.

 

15.           It is more likely than not that the basis of the shares of New Georgetown common stock purchased in the offering by the exercise of nontransferable subscription rights will be the purchase price. The holding period of the New Georgetown common stock purchased pursuant to the exercise of nontransferable subscription rights will commence on the date the right to acquire such stock was exercised.

 

16.           No gain or loss will be recognized by New Georgetown on the receipt of money in exchange for New Georgetown common stock sold in the offering.

 

We believe that the tax opinions summarized above address all material federal income tax consequences that are generally applicable to Georgetown Bancorp, MHC, Georgetown-Federal, Georgetown Savings Bank, New Georgetown and persons receiving subscription rights and shareholders of Georgetown-Federal.  With respect to items 13 and 15 above, Luse Gorman Pomerenk & Schick, P.C. noted that the subscription rights will be granted at no cost to the recipients, are legally non-transferable and of short duration, and will provide the recipient with the right only to purchase shares of common stock at the same price to be paid by members of the general public in any community offering. The firm further noted that RP Financial, LC. has issued a letter that the subscription rights have no ascertainable fair market value.  The firm also noted that the Internal Revenue Service has not in the past concluded that subscription rights have value. Based on the foregoing, Luse Gorman Pomerenk & Schick, P.C. believes that it is more likely than not that the nontransferable subscription rights to purchase shares of common stock have no value. However, the issue of whether or not the nontransferable subscription rights have value is based on all the facts and circumstances. If the subscription rights granted to Eligible Account Holders, Supplemental Eligible Account Holders and Other Depositors are deemed to have an ascertainable value, receipt of these rights could result in taxable gain to those Eligible Account Holders, Supplemental Eligible Account Holders and Other Depositors who exercise the subscription rights in an amount equal to the ascertainable value, and we could recognize gain on a distribution. Eligible Account Holders, Supplemental Eligible Account Holders and Other Depositors are encouraged to consult with their own tax advisors as to the tax consequences in the event that subscription rights are deemed to have an ascertainable value.

 

The opinion as to item 14 above is based on the position that:  (i) no holder of an interest in a liquidation account has ever received any payment attributable to a liquidation account; (ii) the interests in the liquidation accounts are not transferable; (iii) the amounts due under the liquidation account with respect to each Eligible Account Holder and Supplemental Eligible Account Holder will be reduced as their deposits in Georgetown Savings Bank are reduced; and (iv) the Georgetown Savings Bank liquidation account payment obligation arises only if New Georgetown lacks sufficient assets to fund the liquidation account.

 

In addition, we have received a letter from RP Financial, LC. stating its belief that the benefit provided by the Georgetown Savings Bank liquidation account supporting the payment of the liquidation account in the event New Georgetown lacks sufficient net assets does not have any economic value at the time of the conversion.  Based on the foregoing, Luse Gorman Pomerenk & Schick, P.C. believes it is more likely than not that such rights in the Georgetown Savings Bank liquidation account have no value.  If such rights are subsequently found to have an economic value, income may be recognized by each Eligible Account Holder or Supplemental Eligible Account Holder in the amount of such fair market value as of the date of the conversion.

 

The opinion of Luse Gorman Pomerenk & Schick, P.C., unlike a letter ruling issued by the Internal Revenue Service, is not binding on the Internal Revenue Service and the conclusions expressed therein may be challenged at a future date. The Internal Revenue Service has issued favorable rulings for transactions substantially

 

131



 

similar to the proposed reorganization and stock offering, but any such ruling may not be cited as precedent by any taxpayer other than the taxpayer to whom the ruling is addressed.  We do not plan to apply for a letter ruling concerning the transactions described herein.

 

We have also received an opinion from Shatswell, MacLeod & Company, P.C. that the Massachusetts state income tax consequences are consistent with the federal income tax consequences.

 

The federal and state tax opinions have been filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission as exhibits to New Georgetown’s registration statement.

 

Certain Restrictions on Purchase or Transfer of Our Shares after Conversion

 

All shares of common stock purchased in the offering by a director or certain officers of Georgetown Savings Bank generally may not be sold for a period of one year following the closing of the conversion, except in the event of the death of the director or executive officer.  Each certificate for restricted shares will bear a legend giving notice of this restriction on transfer, and instructions will be issued to the effect that any transfer within this time period of any certificate or record ownership of the shares other than as provided above is a violation of the restriction.  Any shares of common stock issued at a later date as a stock dividend, stock split, or otherwise, with respect to the restricted stock will be similarly restricted. The directors and executive officers of New Georgetown also will be restricted by the insider trading rules under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

 

Purchases of shares of our common stock by any of our directors, certain officers and their associates, during the three-year period following the closing of the conversion may be made only through a broker or dealer registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission, except with the prior written approval of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System. This restriction does not apply, however, to negotiated transactions involving more than 1% of our outstanding common stock or to purchases of our common stock by our stock option plan or any of our tax-qualified employee stock benefit plans or non-tax-qualified employee stock benefit plans, including any restricted stock plans.

 

Federal regulations prohibit New Georgetown from repurchasing its shares of common stock during the first year following conversion unless compelling business reasons exist for such repurchases.  In addition, the repurchase of shares of common stock is subject to Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System policy related to repurchases of shares by financial institution holding companies.

 

COMPARISON OF SHAREHOLDERS’ RIGHTS FOR EXISTING SHAREHOLDERS OF GEORGETOWN-FEDERAL

 

General. As a result of the conversion, existing shareholders of Georgetown-Federal will become shareholders of New Georgetown.  There are differences in the rights of shareholders of Georgetown-Federal and shareholders of New Georgetown caused by differences between federal and Maryland law and regulations and differences in Georgetown-Federal’s federal stock charter and bylaws and New Georgetown’s Maryland articles of incorporation and bylaws.

 

This discussion is not intended to be a complete statement of the differences affecting the rights of shareholders, but rather summarizes the material differences and similarities affecting the rights of shareholders. See “Where You Can Find Additional Information” for procedures for obtaining a copy of New Georgetown’s articles of incorporation and bylaws.

 

Authorized Capital Stock. The authorized capital stock of Georgetown-Federal consists of 10,000,000 shares of common stock, $0.10 par value per share, and 1,000,000 shares of preferred stock, $0.10 par value per share.

 

The authorized capital stock of New Georgetown consists of 100,000,000 shares of common stock, $0.01 par value per share, and 50,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $0.01 per share.

 

132



 

Under the Maryland General Corporation Law and New Georgetown’s articles of incorporation, the board of directors may increase or decrease the number of authorized shares without shareholder approval.  Shareholder approval is required to increase or decrease the number of authorized shares of Georgetown-Federal.

 

Georgetown-Federal’s charter and New Georgetown’s articles of incorporation both authorize the board of directors to establish one or more series of preferred stock and, for any series of preferred stock, to determine the terms and rights of the series, including voting rights, dividend rights, conversion and redemption rates and liquidation preferences. As a result of the ability to fix voting rights for a series of preferred stock, our board of directors has the power, to the extent consistent with its fiduciary duty, to issue a series of preferred stock to persons friendly to management in order to attempt to block a hostile tender offer, merger or other transaction by which a third party seeks control.  We currently have no plans for the issuance of additional shares for such purposes.

 

Issuance of Capital Stock. Pursuant to applicable laws and regulations, Georgetown Bancorp, MHC is required to own not less than a majority of the outstanding shares of Georgetown-Federal common stock. Georgetown Bancorp, MHC will no longer exist following completion of the conversion.

 

New Georgetown’s articles of incorporation do not contain restrictions on the issuance of shares of capital stock to directors, officers or controlling persons, whereas Georgetown-Federal’s stock charter restricts such issuances to general public offerings, or to directors for qualifying shares, unless the share issuance or the plan under which they would generally be issued has been approved by the shareholders. However, stock-based compensation plans, such as stock option plans and restricted stock plans, would have to be submitted for approval by New Georgetown shareholders due to requirements of the Nasdaq Stock Market and in order to qualify stock options for favorable federal income tax treatment.

 

Voting Rights. Neither Georgetown-Federal’s stock charter or bylaws nor New Georgetown’s articles of incorporation or bylaws provide for cumulative voting for the election of directors. For additional information regarding voting rights, see “—Limitations on Voting Rights of Greater-than-10% Shareholders” below.

 

Payment of Dividends.  Georgetown-Federal’s ability to pay dividends depends, to a large extent, upon Georgetown Savings Bank’s ability to pay dividends to Georgetown-Federal, which is restricted by federal regulations and by federal income tax considerations related to federally-chartered savings associations.

 

The same restrictions will apply to Georgetown Savings Bank’s payment of dividends to New Georgetown.  In addition, Maryland law generally provides that New Georgetown is limited to paying dividends in an amount equal to its capital surplus over payments that would be owed upon dissolution to shareholders whose preferential rights upon dissolution are superior to those receiving the dividend, and to an amount that would not make it insolvent.

 

Board of Directors. Georgetown-Federal’s bylaws and New Georgetown’s articles of incorporation require the board of directors to be divided into three classes and that the members of each class shall be elected for a term of three years and until their successors are elected and qualified, with one class being elected annually.

 

Under Georgetown-Federal’s bylaws, any vacancies on the board of directors may be filled by the affirmative vote of a majority of the remaining directors although less than a quorum of the board of directors.  Persons elected by the board of directors of Georgetown-Federal to fill vacancies may only serve until the next election of directors by shareholders. Under New Georgetown’s bylaws, any vacancy occurring on the board of directors, including any vacancy created by reason of an increase in the number of directors, may be filled only by the affirmative vote of two-thirds of the remaining directors, and any director so chosen shall hold office for the remainder of the term to which the director has been elected and until his or her successor is elected and qualified.

 

Limitations on Liability. The charter and bylaws of Georgetown-Federal do not limit the personal liability of directors or officers.

 

133



 

New Georgetown’s articles of incorporation provide that directors and officers will not be personally liable for monetary damages to New Georgetown for certain actions as directors or officers, except for (i) receipt of an improper personal benefit, (ii) actions or omissions that are determined to have materially involved active and deliberate dishonesty, or (iii) to the extent allowed by Maryland law. These provisions might, in certain instances, discourage or deter shareholders or management from bringing a lawsuit against directors or officers for a breach of their duties even though such an action, if successful, might benefit New Georgetown.

 

Indemnification of Directors, Officers, Employees and Agents.  As generally allowed under current Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System regulations, Georgetown-Federal will indemnify its directors, officers and employees for any reasonable costs incurred in connection with any litigation involving such person’s activities as a director, officer or employee if such person obtains a final judgment on the merits in his or her favor. In addition, indemnification is permitted in the case of a settlement, a final judgment against such person, or final judgment other than on the merits, if a majority of disinterested directors determines that such person was acting in good faith within the scope of his or her employment as he or she could reasonably have perceived it under the circumstances and for a purpose he or she could reasonably have believed under the circumstances was in the best interests of Georgetown-Federal or its shareholders.  Georgetown-Federal also is permitted to pay ongoing expenses incurred by a director, officer or employee if a majority of disinterested directors concludes that such person may ultimately be entitled to indemnification.  Before making any indemnification payment, Georgetown-Federal is required to notify the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System of its intention, and such payment cannot be made if the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System objects to such payment.

 

The articles of incorporation of New Georgetown provide that it shall indemnify (i) its current and former directors and officers to the fullest extent required or permitted by Maryland law, including the advancement of expenses and (ii) other employees or agents to such extent as shall be authorized by the board of directors and Maryland law.  Maryland law allows New Georgetown to indemnify any person for expenses, liabilities, settlements, judgments and fines in suits in which such person has been made a party by reason of the fact that he or she is or was a director, officer or employee of New Georgetown.  No such indemnification may be given if the acts or omissions of the person are adjudged to be in bad faith and material to the matter giving rise to the proceeding, if such person is liable to the corporation for an unlawful distribution, or if such person personally received a benefit to which he or she was not entitled.  The right to indemnification includes the right to be paid the expenses incurred in advance of final disposition of a proceeding.

 

Special Meetings of Shareholders. Georgetown-Federal’s bylaws provide that special meetings of shareholders may be called by the chairman, the vice chairman, a majority of the members of the board of directors or the holders of not less than one-tenth of the outstanding capital stock entitled to vote at the meeting.  New Georgetown’s bylaws provide that special meetings of shareholders may be called by the chairperson, the vice chairperson, by a majority vote of the total authorized directors, or upon the written request of shareholders entitled to cast at least a majority of all votes entitled to vote at the meeting.

 

Shareholder Nominations and Proposals. Georgetown-Federal’s bylaws provide that shareholders may submit nominations for election of directors at an annual meeting of shareholders and may propose any new business to be taken up at such a meeting by filing the proposal in writing with Georgetown-Federal at least five days before the date of any such meeting.

 

New Georgetown’s bylaws provide that any shareholder desiring to make a nomination for the election of directors or a proposal for new business at a meeting of shareholders must submit written notice to New Georgetown at least 80 days prior and not earlier than 90 days prior to such meeting.  However, if less than 90 days’ notice or prior public disclosure of the date of the meeting is given to shareholders, such written notice must be submitted by a shareholder not later than the tenth day following the day on which notice of the meeting was mailed to shareholders or such public disclosure was made.

 

Management believes that it is in the best interest of New Georgetown and its shareholders to provide sufficient time to enable management to disclose to shareholders information about a dissident slate of nominations for directors.  This advance notice requirement may also give management time to solicit its own proxies in an

 

134



 

attempt to defeat any dissident slate of nominations, should management determine that doing so is in the best interests of shareholders generally.  Similarly, adequate advance notice of shareholder proposals will give management time to study such proposals and to determine whether to recommend to the shareholders that such proposals be adopted.  In certain instances, such provisions could make it more difficult to oppose management’s nominees or proposals, even if shareholders believe such nominees or proposals are in their best interests.

 

Shareholder Action Without a Meeting. Neither the bylaws of Georgetown-Federal nor New Georgetown provide for action to be taken by shareholders without a meeting.  However, under Maryland law, action may be taken by shareholders without a meeting if all shareholders entitled to vote on the action consent to taking such action without a meeting.

 

Shareholder’s Right to Examine Books and Records. A federal regulation, which is applicable to Georgetown-Federal, provides that shareholders may inspect and copy specified books and records after proper written notice for a proper purpose.  Maryland law provides that a shareholder may inspect a company’s bylaws, shareholder minutes, annual statement of affairs and any voting trust agreements. However, only a shareholder or group of shareholders who together, for at least six months, hold at least 5% of the company’s total shares, have the right to inspect a company’s stock ledger, list of shareholders and books of accounts.

 

Limitations on Voting Rights of Greater-than-10% Shareholders.  New Georgetown’s articles of incorporation provide that no beneficial owner, directly or indirectly, of more than 10% of the outstanding shares of common stock will be permitted to vote any shares in excess of such 10% limit.  Georgetown-Federal’s charter does not provide such a limit on voting common stock.

 

In addition, federal regulations provide that for a period of three years following the date of the completion of the offering, no person, acting singly or together with associates in a group of persons acting in concert, may directly or indirectly offer to acquire or acquire the beneficial ownership of more than 10% of a class of New Georgetown’s equity securities without the prior written approval of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System.  Where any person acquires beneficial ownership of more than 10% of a class of New Georgetown’s equity securities without the prior written approval of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, the securities beneficially owned by such person in excess of 10% may not be voted by any person or counted as voting shares in connection with any matter submitted to the shareholders for a vote, and will not be counted as outstanding for purposes of determining the affirmative vote necessary to approve any matter submitted to the shareholders for a vote.

 

Business Combinations with Interested Shareholders. Under Maryland law, “business combinations” between New Georgetown and an interested shareholder or an affiliate of an interested shareholder are prohibited for five years after the most recent date on which the interested shareholder becomes an interested shareholder.  These business combinations include a merger, consolidation, statutory share exchange or, in circumstances specified in the statute, certain transfers of assets, certain stock issuances and transfers, liquidation plans and reclassifications involving interested shareholders and their affiliates or issuance or reclassification of equity securities.  Maryland law defines an interested shareholder as: (i) any person who beneficially owns 10% or more of the voting power of New Georgetown’s voting stock after the date on which New Georgetown had 100 or more beneficial owners of its stock; or (ii) an affiliate or associate of New Georgetown at any time after the date on which New Georgetown had 100 or more beneficial owners of its stock who, within the two-year period prior to the date in question, was the beneficial owner of 10% or more of the voting power of the then-outstanding voting stock of New Georgetown.  A person is not an interested shareholder under the statute if the board of directors approved in advance the transaction by which the person otherwise would have become an interested shareholder. However, in approving a transaction, the board of directors may provide that its approval is subject to compliance, at or after the time of approval, with any terms and conditions determined by the board.

 

After the five-year prohibition, any business combination between New Georgetown and an interested shareholder generally must be recommended by the board of directors of New Georgetown and approved by the affirmative vote of at least: (i) 80% of the votes entitled to be cast by holders of outstanding shares of voting stock of New Georgetown, and (ii) two-thirds of the votes entitled to be cast by holders of voting stock of New

 

135



 

Georgetown other than shares held by the interested shareholder with whom or with whose affiliate the business combination is to be effected or held by an affiliate or associate of the interested shareholder. These super-majority vote requirements do not apply if New Georgetown’s common shareholders receive a minimum price, as defined under Maryland law, for their shares in the form of cash or other consideration in the same form as previously paid by the interested shareholder for its shares.

 

Current federal regulations do not provide a vote standard for business combinations involving federal mid-tier stock holding companies.

 

Mergers, Consolidations and Sales of Assets.  Under New Georgetown’s articles of incorporation, a merger or consolidation of New Georgetown requires approval of a majority of all votes entitled to be cast by shareholders.  However, no approval by shareholders is required for a merger if:

 

·                  the plan of merger does not make an amendment of the articles of incorporation that would be required to be approved by the shareholders;

 

·                  each shareholder of the surviving corporation whose shares were outstanding immediately before the effective date of the merger will hold the same number of shares, with identical designations, preferences, limitations, and rights, immediately after; and

 

·                  the number of shares of any class or series of stock outstanding immediately after the effective time of the merger will not increase by more than 20% the total number of voting shares outstanding immediately before the merger. The articles of incorporation of New Georgetown reduce the vote required for a merger or consolidation to a majority of the total shares outstanding.

 

In addition, under certain circumstances the approval of the shareholders shall not be required to authorize a merger with or into a 90% owned subsidiary of New Georgetown.

 

Under Maryland law, a sale of all or substantially all of New Georgetown’s assets other than in the ordinary course of business, or a voluntary dissolution of New Georgetown, requires the approval of its board of directors and the affirmative vote of two-thirds of the votes entitled to be cast on the matter.

 

Current federal regulations do not provide a vote standard for mergers, consolidations or sales of assets by federal mid-tier stock holding companies.

 

Evaluation of Offers.  The articles of incorporation of New Georgetown provide that its board of directors, when evaluating a transaction that would or may involve a change in control of New Georgetown (whether by purchases of its securities, merger, consolidation, share exchange, dissolution, liquidation, sale of all or substantially all of its assets, proxy solicitation or otherwise), may, in connection with the exercise of its business judgment in determining what is in the best interests of New Georgetown and its shareholders and in making any recommendation to the shareholders, give due consideration to all relevant factors, including, but not limited to:

 

·                                          the economic effect, both immediate and long-term, upon New Georgetown’s shareholders, including shareholders, if any, who do not participate in the transaction;

 

·                                          the social and economic effect on the present and future employees, creditors and customers of, and others dealing with, New Georgetown and its subsidiaries and on the communities in which New Georgetown and its subsidiaries operate or are located;

 

·                                          whether the proposal is acceptable based on the historical, current or projected future operating results or financial condition of New Georgetown;

 

·                                          whether a more favorable price could be obtained for New Georgetown’s stock or other securities in the future;

 

136



 

·                                          the reputation and business practices of the other entity to be involved in the transaction and its management and affiliates as they would affect the employees of New Georgetown and its subsidiaries;

 

·                                          the future value of the stock or any other securities of New Georgetown or the other entity to be involved in the proposed transaction;

 

·                                          any antitrust or other legal and regulatory issues that are raised by the proposal;

 

·                                          the business and historical, current or expected future financial condition or operating results of the other entity to be involved in the transaction, including, but not limited to, debt service and other existing financial obligations, financial obligations to be incurred in connection with the proposed transaction, and other likely financial obligations of the other entity to be involved in the proposed transaction; and

 

·                                          the ability of New Georgetown to fulfill its objectives as a financial institution holding company and on the ability of its subsidiary financial institution(s) to fulfill the objectives of a federally insured financial institution under applicable statutes and regulations.

 

If the board of directors determines that any proposed transaction should be rejected, it may take any lawful action to defeat such transaction.

 

Georgetown-Federal’s charter and bylaws do not contain a similar provision.

 

Dissenters’ Rights of Appraisal.  Under Maryland law, shareholders of New Georgetown will not have dissenters’ appraisal rights in connection with a plan of merger or consolidation to which New Georgetown is a party as long as the common stock of New Georgetown trades on a national securities exchange.

 

Current federal regulations do not provide for dissenters’ appraisal rights in business combinations involving federal mid-tier stock holding companies.

 

Amendment of Governing Instruments. No amendment of Georgetown-Federal’s stock charter may be made unless it is first proposed by the board of directors then preliminarily approved by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, and thereafter approved by the holders of a majority of the total votes eligible to be cast at a legal meeting.  Amendments to Georgetown-Federal’s bylaws require either preliminary approval by or post-adoption notice to the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System as well as approval of the amendment by a majority vote of the authorized board of directors, or by a majority vote of the votes cast by the shareholders of Georgetown-Federal at any legal meeting.

 

New Georgetown’s articles of incorporation may be amended, upon the submission of an amendment by the board of directors to a vote of the shareholders, by the affirmative vote of at least two-thirds of the outstanding shares of common stock, or by the affirmative vote of a majority of the outstanding shares of common stock if at least two-thirds of the members of the whole board of directors approves such amendment; provided, however, that approval by at least 80% of the outstanding voting stock is generally required to amend the following provisions:

 

(i)

The limitation on voting rights of persons who directly or indirectly beneficially own more than 10% of the outstanding shares of common stock;

 

 

(ii)

The division of the board of directors into three staggered classes;

 

 

(iii)

The ability of the board of directors to fill vacancies on the board;

 

137



 

(iv)

The requirement that directors may only be removed for cause and by the affirmative vote of at least a majority of the votes eligible to be cast by shareholders;

 

 

(v)

The ability of the board of directors to amend and repeal the bylaws;

 

 

(vi)

The ability of the board of directors to evaluate a variety of factors in evaluating offers to purchase or otherwise acquire New Georgetown;

 

 

(vii)

The authority of the board of directors to provide for the issuance of preferred stock;

 

 

(viii)

The validity and effectiveness of any action lawfully authorized by the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the total number of outstanding shares of common stock;

 

 

(ix)

The number of shareholders constituting a quorum or required for shareholder consent;

 

 

(x)

The indemnification of current and former directors and officers, as well as employees and other agents, by New Georgetown;

 

 

(xi)

The limitation of liability of officers and directors to New Georgetown for money damages;

 

 

(xii)

The inability of shareholders to cumulate their votes in the election of directors;

 

 

(xiii)

The advance notice requirements for shareholder proposals and nominations; and

 

 

(xiv)

The provision of the articles of incorporation requiring approval of at least 80% of the outstanding voting stock to amend the provisions of the articles of incorporation provided in (i) through (xiii) of this list.

 

The articles of incorporation also provide that the bylaws may be amended by the affirmative vote of a majority of our directors or by the shareholders by the affirmative vote of at least 80% of the total votes eligible to be voted at a duly constituted meeting of shareholders.  Any amendment of this super-majority requirement for amendment of the bylaws would also require the approval of 80% of the outstanding voting stock.

 

RESTRICTIONS ON ACQUISITION OF NEW GEORGETOWN

 

Although the board of directors of New Georgetown is not aware of any effort that might be made to obtain control of New Georgetown after the conversion, the board of directors believes that it is appropriate to include certain provisions as part of New Georgetown’s articles of incorporation to protect the interests of New Georgetown and its shareholders from takeovers which the board of directors might conclude are not in the best interests of Georgetown Savings Bank, New Georgetown or New Georgetown’s shareholders.

 

The following discussion is a general summary of the material provisions of Maryland law, New Georgetown’s articles of incorporation and bylaws, Georgetown Savings Bank’s federal stock charter and bylaws and certain other regulatory provisions that may be deemed to have an “anti-takeover” effect.  The following description of certain of these provisions is necessarily general and is not intended to be a complete description of the document or regulatory provision in question.  New Georgetown’s articles of incorporation and bylaws are included as part of Georgetown Bancorp, MHC’s application for conversion filed with the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System and New Georgetown’s registration statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.  See “Where You Can Find Additional Information.”

 

Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws of New Georgetown

 

New Georgetown’s articles of incorporation and bylaws contain a number of provisions relating to corporate governance and rights of shareholders that may discourage future takeover attempts.  As a result,

 

138



 

shareholders who might desire to participate in such transactions may not have an opportunity to do so. In addition, these provisions will also render the removal of the board of directors or management of New Georgetown more difficult.

 

Directors. The board of directors will be divided into three classes.  The members of each class will be elected for a term of three years and only one class of directors will be elected annually.  Thus, it would take at least two annual elections to replace a majority of the board of directors.  Further, the bylaws impose notice and information requirements in connection with the nomination by shareholders of candidates for election to the board of directors or the proposal by shareholders of business to be acted upon at an annual meeting of shareholders.  The bylaws also set forth qualifications as to individuals who can and cannot serve on the board of directors.

 

Restrictions on Call of Special Meetings.  The articles of incorporation and bylaws provide that special meetings of shareholders can be called by the president, by a majority of the whole board of directors or upon the written request of shareholders entitled to cast at least a majority of all votes entitled to vote at the meeting.

 

Prohibition of Cumulative Voting.  The articles of incorporation prohibit cumulative voting for the election of directors.

 

Limitation of Voting Rights.   The articles of incorporation provide that in no event will any person who beneficially owns more than 10% of the then-outstanding shares of common stock, be entitled or permitted to vote any of the shares of common stock held in excess of the 10% limit.  This provision has been included in the articles of incorporation in reliance on Section 2-507(a) of the Maryland General Corporation Law, which entitles shareholders to one vote for each share of stock unless the articles of incorporation provide for a greater or lesser number of votes per share or limit or deny voting rights.

 

Restrictions on Removing Directors from Office.  The articles of incorporation provide that directors may be removed only for cause, and only by the affirmative vote of the holders of at least a majority of the voting power of all of our then-outstanding common stock entitled to vote (after giving effect to the limitation on voting rights discussed above in “—Limitation of Voting Rights.”).

 

Authorized but Unissued Shares.  After the conversion, New Georgetown will have authorized but unissued shares of common and preferred stock.  See “Description of Capital Stock of New Georgetown Following the Conversion.”  The articles of incorporation authorize 50,000,000 shares of serial preferred stock.  New Georgetown is authorized to issue preferred stock from time to time in one or more series subject to applicable provisions of law, and the board of directors is authorized to fix the designations, and relative preferences, limitations, voting rights, if any, including without limitation, offering rights of such shares (which could be multiple or as a separate class).  In the event of a proposed merger, tender offer or other attempt to gain control of New Georgetown that the board of directors does not approve, it may be possible for the board of directors to authorize the issuance of a series of preferred stock with rights and preferences that would impede the completion of the transaction.  An effect of the possible issuance of preferred stock therefore may be to deter a future attempt to gain control of New Georgetown.  The board of directors has no present plan or understanding to issue any preferred stock.

 

Amendments to Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws.  Amendments to the articles of incorporation must be approved by the board of directors and also by at least a majority of the outstanding shares of the voting stock; provided, however, that approval by at least 80% of the outstanding voting stock is generally required to amend certain provisions.  A list of these provisions is provided under “Comparison of Shareholders’ Rights For Existing Shareholders of Georgetown-Federal—Amendment of Governing Instruments” above.

 

The articles of incorporation also provide that the bylaws may be amended by the affirmative vote of a majority of New Georgetown’s directors or by the shareholders by the affirmative vote of at least 80% of the total votes eligible to be voted at a duly constituted meeting of shareholders.  Any amendment of this super-majority requirement for amendment of the bylaws would also require the approval of 80% of the outstanding voting shares.

 

139



 

The provisions requiring the affirmative vote of 80% of outstanding shares for certain shareholder actions have been included in the articles of incorporation of New Georgetown in reliance on Section 2-104(b)(4) of the Maryland General Corporation Law.  Section 2-104(b)(4) permits the articles of incorporation to require a greater proportion of votes than the proportion that would otherwise be required for shareholder action under the Maryland General Corporation Law.

 

Business Combinations with Interested Shareholders.  Maryland law restricts mergers, consolidations, sales of assets and other business combinations between New Georgetown and an “interested shareholder.”  See “Comparison of Shareholder Rights for Existing Shareholders of Georgetown-Federal—Mergers, Consolidations and Sales of Assets” above.

 

Evaluation of Offers.  The articles of incorporation of New Georgetown provide that its board of directors, when evaluating a transaction that would or may involve a change in control of New Georgetown (whether by purchases of its securities, merger, consolidation, share exchange, dissolution, liquidation, sale of all or substantially all of its assets, proxy solicitation or otherwise), may, in connection with the exercise of its business judgment in determining what is in the best interests of New Georgetown and its shareholders and in making any recommendation to the shareholders, give due consideration to all relevant factors, including, but not limited to, certain enumerated factors.  For a list of enumerated factors, see “Comparison of Shareholder Rights for Existing Shareholders of Georgetown-Federal—Evaluation of Offers” above.

 

Purpose and Anti-Takeover Effects of New Georgetown’s Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws.  Our board of directors believes that the provisions described above are prudent and will reduce our vulnerability to takeover attempts and certain other transactions that have not been negotiated with and approved by our board of directors.  These provisions also will assist us in the orderly deployment of the offering proceeds into productive assets during the initial period after the conversion.  Our board of directors believes these provisions are in the best interests of New Georgetown and its shareholders. Our board of directors believes that it will be in the best position to determine the true value of New Georgetown and to negotiate more effectively for what may be in the best interests of all our shareholders. Accordingly, our board of directors believes that it is in the best interests of New Georgetown and all of our shareholders to encourage potential acquirers to negotiate directly with the board of directors and that these provisions will encourage such negotiations and discourage hostile takeover attempts. It is also the view of our board of directors that these provisions should not discourage persons from proposing a merger or other transaction at a price reflective of the true value of New Georgetown and that is in the best interests of all our shareholders.

 

Takeover attempts that have not been negotiated with and approved by our board of directors present the risk of a takeover on terms that may be less favorable than might otherwise be available. A transaction that is negotiated and approved by our board of directors, on the other hand, can be carefully planned and undertaken at an opportune time in order to obtain maximum value of New Georgetown for our shareholders, with due consideration given to matters such as the management and business of the acquiring corporation and maximum strategic development of New Georgetown’s assets.

 

Although a tender offer or other takeover attempt may be made at a price substantially above the current market price, such offers are sometimes made for less than all of the outstanding shares of a target company.  As a result, shareholders may be presented with the alternative of partially liquidating their investment at a time that may be disadvantageous, or retaining their investment in an enterprise that is under different management and whose objectives may not be similar to those of the remaining shareholders.

 

Despite our belief as to the benefits to shareholders of these provisions of New Georgetown’s articles of incorporation and bylaws, these provisions may also have the effect of discouraging a future takeover attempt that would not be approved by our board of directors, but pursuant to which shareholders may receive a substantial premium for their shares over then current market prices. As a result, shareholders who might desire to participate in such a transaction may not have any opportunity to do so.  Such provisions will also make it more difficult to remove our board of directors and management.  Our board of directors, however, has concluded that the potential benefits outweigh the possible disadvantages.

Federal Stock Charter of Georgetown Savings Bank

 

Georgetown Savings Bank’s federal stock charter will provide that for a period of five years from the closing of the conversion and offering, no person other than New Georgetown may offer directly or indirectly to acquire the beneficial ownership of more than 10% of any class of equity security of Georgetown Savings Bank.  This provision will not apply to any tax-qualified employee benefit plan of Georgetown Savings Bank or New Georgetown or to an underwriter or member of an underwriting or selling group involving the public sale or resale of securities of New Georgetown or any of its subsidiaries, so long as after the sale or resale, no underwriter or member of the selling group is a beneficial owner, directly or indirectly, of more than 10% of any class of equity securities of Georgetown Savings Bank.  In addition, during this five-year period, all shares owned over the 10% limit may not be voted on any matter submitted to shareholders for a vote.

 

Conversion Regulations

 

Federal regulations prohibit any person from making an offer, announcing an intent to make an offer or participating in any other arrangement to purchase stock or acquire stock or subscription rights in a converting institution or its holding company from another person prior to completion of its conversion.  Further, without the prior written approval of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, no person may make an offer or announcement of an offer to purchase shares or actually acquire shares of a converted institution or its holding company for a period of three years from the date of the completion of the conversion if, upon the completion of such offer, announcement or acquisition, the person would become the beneficial owner of more than 10% of the outstanding stock of the institution or its holding company.  The Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System has defined “person” to include any individual, group acting in concert, corporation, partnership, association, joint stock company, trust, unincorporated organization or similar company, a syndicate or any other group formed for the purpose of acquiring, holding or disposing of securities of an insured institution.  However, offers made exclusively to a bank or its holding company, or to an underwriter or member of a selling group acting on the converting institution’s or its holding company’s behalf for resale to the general public, are excepted.  The regulation also provides civil penalties for willful violation or assistance in any such violation of the regulation by any person connected with the management of the converting institution or its holding company or who controls more than 10% of the outstanding shares or voting rights of a converted institution or its holding company.

 

Change in Control Regulations

 

Under the Change in Bank Control Act, no person may acquire control of an insured state-chartered savings association or its parent holding company unless the Federal Reserve Board has been given 60 days’ prior written notice and has not issued a notice disapproving the proposed acquisition.  The Federal Reserve Board takes into consideration certain factors, including the financial and managerial resources of the acquirer and the competitive effects of the acquisition.  In addition, federal regulations provide that no company may acquire control of a savings association without the prior approval of the Federal Reserve Board.  Any company that acquires such control becomes a “savings and loan holding company” subject to registration, examination and regulation by the Federal Reserve Board.

 

Control, as defined under federal law, means ownership, control of or holding irrevocable proxies representing more than 25% of any class of voting stock, control in any manner of the election of a majority of the company’s directors, or a determination by the Federal Reserve Board that the acquiror has the power to direct, or directly or indirectly to exercise a controlling influence over, the management or policies of the institution.  Acquisition of more than 10% of any class of a savings and loan holding company’s voting stock constitutes a rebuttable determination of control under the regulations under certain circumstances including where, as will be the case with New Georgetown, the issuer has registered securities under Section 12 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.  Federal Reserve Board regulations provide that parties seeking to rebut control will be provided an opportunity to do so in writing.

DESCRIPTION OF CAPITAL STOCK OF NEW GEORGETOWN FOLLOWING THE CONVERSION

 

General

 

New Georgetown is authorized to issue 100,000,000 shares of common stock, par value of $0.01 per share, and 50,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $0.01 per share.  New Georgetown currently expects to issue in the offering and exchange up to 2,029,522 shares of common stock, subject to adjustment up to 2,333,950 shares.  New Georgetown will not issue shares of preferred stock in the conversion.  Each share of common stock will have the same relative rights as, and will be identical in all respects to, each other share of common stock.  Upon payment of the subscription price for the common stock, in accordance with the plan of conversion and reorganization, all of the shares of common stock will be duly authorized, fully paid and nonassessable.

 

The shares of common stock will represent nonwithdrawable capital, will not be an account of an insurable type, and will not be insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency.

 

Common Stock

 

Dividends. New Georgetown may pay dividends to an amount equal to the excess of our capital surplus over payments that would be owed upon dissolution to shareholders whose preferential rights upon dissolution are superior to those receiving the dividend, and to an amount that would not make us insolvent, as and when declared by our board of directors.  The payment of dividends by New Georgetown is also subject to limitations that are imposed by law and applicable regulation, including restrictions on payments of dividends that would reduce New Georgetown’s assets below the then-adjusted balance of its liquidation account.  The holders of common stock of New Georgetown will be entitled to receive and share equally in dividends as may be declared by our board of directors out of funds legally available therefor.  If New Georgetown issues shares of preferred stock, the holders thereof may have a priority over the holders of the common stock with respect to dividends.

 

Voting Rights. Upon completion of the conversion, the holders of common stock of New Georgetown will have exclusive voting rights in New Georgetown.  They will elect New Georgetown’s board of directors and act on other matters as are required to be presented to them under Maryland law or as are otherwise presented to them by the board of directors. Generally, each holder of common stock will be entitled to one vote per share and will not have any right to cumulate votes in the election of directors.  Any person who beneficially owns more than 10% of the then-outstanding shares of New Georgetown’s common stock, however, will not be entitled or permitted to vote any shares of common stock held in excess of the 10% limit.  If New Georgetown issues shares of preferred stock, holders of the preferred stock may also possess voting rights. Certain matters require the approval of 80% of our outstanding common stock.  Corporate powers and control of Georgetown Savings Bank are vested in its board of directors, who elect the officers of Georgetown Savings Bank and who fill any vacancies on the board of directors.  Voting rights of Georgetown Savings Bank are vested exclusively in the owners of the shares of capital stock of Georgetown Savings Bank, which will be New Georgetown, and voted at the direction of New Georgetown’s board of directors.  Consequently, the holders of the common stock of New Georgetown will not have direct control of Georgetown Savings Bank.

 

Liquidation. In the event of any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of Georgetown Savings Bank, New Georgetown, as the holder of 100% of Georgetown Savings Bank’s capital stock, would be entitled to receive all assets of Georgetown Savings Bank available for distribution, after payment or provision for payment of all debts and liabilities of Georgetown Savings Bank, including all deposit accounts and accrued interest thereon, and after distribution of the balance in the liquidation account to Eligible Account Holders and Supplemental Eligible Account Holders. In the event of liquidation, dissolution or winding up of New Georgetown, the holders of its common stock would be entitled to receive, after payment or provision for payment of all its debts and liabilities (including payments with respect to its liquidation account), all of the assets of New Georgetown available for distribution. If preferred stock is issued, the holders thereof may have a priority over the holders of the common stock in the event of liquidation or dissolution.

 

142



 

Preemptive Rights. Holders of the common stock of New Georgetown will not be entitled to preemptive rights with respect to any shares that may be issued.  The common stock is not subject to redemption.

 

Preferred Stock

 

None of the shares of New Georgetown’s authorized preferred stock will be issued as part of the offering or the conversion. Preferred stock may be issued with preferences and designations as our board of directors may from time to time determine. Our board of directors may, without shareholder approval, issue shares of preferred stock with voting, dividend, liquidation and conversion rights that could dilute the voting strength of the holders of the common stock and may assist management in impeding an unfriendly takeover or attempted change in control.

 

CHANGE IN CERTIFYING ACCOUNTANT

 

On August 23, 2010, the Audit Committee of Georgetown-Federal approved the dismissal of Wolf & Company, P. C. as Georgetown-Federal’s independent registered public accounting firm, effective immediately.  The dismissal of Wolf & Company, P. C. reflected Georgetown-Federal’s efforts to reduce non-interest expense.

 

The audit reports of Wolf & Company, P. C. on the financial statements of Georgetown-Federal for the years ended June 30, 2010, 2009 and 2008 did not contain an adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion, nor were the reports qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles.

 

During the two most recent fiscal years and the interim period through the date of the dismissal, there were no disagreements with Wolf & Company, P. C. on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure or auditing scope or procedure, which disagreements, if not resolved to Wolf & Company, P. C.’s satisfaction, would have caused Wolf & Company, P. C. to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreements in connection with its reports.

 

During the two most recent fiscal years and the interim period through the date of the dismissal, there were no “reportable events” (as defined in Regulation S-K Item 304(a)(1)(v)).

 

New Georgetown requested that Wolf & Company, P. C. furnish it with a letter addressed to the Securities and Exchange Commission stating whether or not Wolf & Company, P. C. agreed with the above statements.  A copy of Wolf & Company, P. C.’s letter to the Securities and Exchange Commission dated March 7, 2012 is filed as an exhibit to the registration statement that includes this prospectus.

 

On August 23, 2010, the Audit Committee of Georgetown-Federal engaged Shatswell, MacLeod & Company, P.C. as Georgetown-Federal’s new independent registered public accounting firm.  During the two most recent fiscal years and the subsequent interim period through the date of the dismissal of Wolf & Company, P. C. Georgetown-Federal did not consult with Shatswell, MacLeod & Company, P.C. regarding any matters described in Item 304(a)(2)(i) or (ii) of Regulation S-K.

 

TRANSFER AGENT

 

The transfer agent and registrar for New Georgetown’s common stock is Registrar and Transfer Company, Cranford, New Jersey.

RP Financial, LC. has consented to the publication herein of the summary of its report setting forth its opinion as to the estimated pro forma market value of the shares of common stock upon completion of the conversion and offering and its letters with respect to subscription rights and the liquidation accounts.

 

LEGAL MATTERS

 

Luse Gorman Pomerenk & Schick, P.C., Washington, D.C., counsel to New Georgetown, Georgetown Bancorp, MHC, Georgetown-Federal and Georgetown Savings Bank, has issued to New Georgetown its opinion regarding the legality of the common stock and the federal income tax consequences of the conversion.  Shatswell, MacLeod & Company, P.C., West Peabody, Massachusetts has provided an opinion to us regarding the Massachusetts income tax consequences of the conversion.  Certain legal matters will be passed upon for Keefe, Bruyette & Woods, Inc. by Kilpatrick Townsend & Stockton LLP, Washington, D.C.

 

WHERE YOU CAN FIND ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

 

New Georgetown has filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission a registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933 with respect to the shares of common stock offered hereby. As permitted by the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission, this prospectus does not contain all the information set forth in the registration statement.  Such information, including the appraisal report which is an exhibit to the registration statement, can be examined without charge at the public reference facilities of the Securities and Exchange Commission located at 100 F Street, N.E., Washington, D.C. 20549, and copies of such material can be obtained from the Securities and Exchange Commission at prescribed rates.  The Securities and Exchange Commission telephone number is 1-800-SEC-0330.  In addition, the Securities and Exchange Commission maintains a web site (http://www.sec.gov) that contains reports, proxy and information statements and other information regarding registrants that file electronically with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including New Georgetown.  The statements contained in this prospectus as to the contents of any contract or other document filed as an exhibit to the registration statement are, of necessity, brief descriptions of the material terms of, and should be read in conjunction with, such contract or document.

 

Georgetown Bancorp, MHC has filed with the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System an Application on Form AC with respect to the conversion. This prospectus omits certain information contained in the application. To obtain a copy of the application filed with the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, you may contact Scott Chu, Supervisory Analyst, of the Federal Reserve Bank of Boston, at (617) 973-3088.  The Plan of Conversion and Reorganization is available, upon request, at each of Georgetown Savings Bank’s offices.

 

In connection with the offering, New Georgetown will register its common stock under Section 12(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and, upon such registration, New Georgetown and the holders of its common stock will become subject to the proxy solicitation rules, reporting requirements and restrictions on common stock purchases and sales by directors, officers and greater than 10% shareholders, the annual and periodic reporting and certain other requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.  Under the plan of conversion and reorganization, New Georgetown has undertaken that it will not terminate such registration for a period of at least three years following the offering.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

 

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Georgetown Bancorp, Inc. and Subsidiary as of December 31, 2011 and 2010 and the related consolidated statements of income, changes in shareholders’ equity and cash flows for the years then ended.  These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management.  Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits.

 

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States).  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement.  The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting.  Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.  Accordingly, we express no such opinion.  An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements.  An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall consolidated financial statement presentation.  We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

 

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Georgetown Bancorp, Inc. and Subsidiary as of December 31, 2011 and 2010, and the consolidated results of their operations and their cash flows for the years then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

1.       CORPORATE STRUCTURE

 

Georgetown Bancorp, Inc. (the “Company”) is a federally-chartered corporation organized for the purpose of owning all of the outstanding capital stock of Georgetown Savings Bank (the “Bank”).  The Company was initially organized as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Georgetown Bancorp, MHC (“MHC” or “the Mutual Holding Company”), which is a federally-chartered mutual holding company. As of December 31, 2011, the MHC owned 57.0% of the Company’s outstanding shares of common stock.

 

2.       SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Basis of presentation and consolidation

 

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary, the Bank. The Bank’s financial statements include its wholly-owned subsidiary, Georgetown Securities Corporation, which engages in the buying, selling and holding of securities.  All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

 

Nature of operations

 

The Company, through the Bank, provides a variety of financial services to individuals and small businesses in the eastern Massachusetts region and southern New Hampshire.  Its primary deposit products are checking, savings and term certificate accounts and its primary lending products are residential and commercial mortgage loans.

 

Segment reporting

 

Generally, financial information is required to be reported on the basis that it is used internally for evaluating segment performance and deciding how to allocate resources to segments.  Management evaluates the Company’s performance and allocates resources based on a single segment concept.  Accordingly, there are no separately identified operating segments for which discrete financial information is available.  The Company does not derive revenues from, or have assets located in, foreign countries, nor does it derive revenues from any single customer that represents 10% or more of the Company’s total revenues.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

 

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

 

Use of estimates

 

In preparing consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”), management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date of the balance sheet and reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.  Material estimates that are particularly susceptible to significant change in the near term relate to the determination of the allowance for loan losses and the realizability of deferred tax assets.

 

Fair value hierarchy

 

The Company groups its assets and liabilities measured at fair value in three levels, based on the markets in which the assets and liabilities are traded and the reliability of the assumptions used to determine fair value as follows:

 

Level l - Valuation is based on quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.  Level l assets and liabilities generally include debt and equity securities that are traded in an active exchange market.

 

Level 2 - Valuation is based on observable inputs other than Level l prices, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.

 

Level 3 - Valuation is based on unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities.  Level 3 assets and liabilities include financial instruments whose value is determined using pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies, or similar techniques, as well as instruments for which the determination of fair value requires significant management judgment or estimation.

 

Reclassifications

 

Certain amounts in the 2010 consolidated financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the 2011 presentation.

 

Cash and cash equivalents

 

Cash and cash equivalents include cash, amounts due from banks and short-term investments, all of which mature within 90 days, and are carried at cost.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

 

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

 

Securities

 

Debt securities that management has the positive intent and ability to hold to maturity are classified as “held to maturity” and reflected at amortized cost.  Securities classified as “available for sale” are reflected at fair value, with unrealized gains and losses excluded from earnings and reported in other comprehensive income/loss, net of tax effects.

 

Purchase premiums and discounts are amortized to earnings by the interest method over the contractual lives of the securities. Gains and losses on sale of securities are recognized on the trade date and determined using the specific identification method.

 

Each reporting period, the Company evaluates all securities classified as available-for-sale or held-to-maturity with a decline in fair value below the amortized cost of the investment to determine whether or not the impairment is deemed to be other-than-temporary (“OTTI”).

 

For debt securities, OTTI is required to be recognized (1) if the Company intends to sell the security; (2) if it is “more likely than not” that the Company will be required to sell the security before recovery of its amortized cost basis; or (3) the present value of expected cash flows is not sufficient to recover the entire amortized cost basis. For all impaired debt securities that the Company intends to sell, or more likely than not will be required to sell, the full amount of the depreciation is recognized as OTTI through earnings. Credit-related OTTI for all other impaired debt securities is recognized through earnings. Non-credit related OTTI for such debt securities is recognized in other comprehensive income, net of applicable taxes.

 

Federal Home Loan Bank stock

 

The Bank, as a member of the Federal Home Loan Bank (“FHLB”) system, is required to maintain an investment in capital stock of the FHLB of Boston. Based on redemption provisions of the FHLB, the stock has no quoted market value and is carried at cost. In December 2008, as part of a capital restoration initiative, the FHLB of Boston established a moratorium on the repurchase of excess stock and effective February 26, 2009, the FHLB of Boston suspended the payment of dividends.  On February 22, 2011, the FHLB of Boston declared a quarterly dividend and the board of directors anticipated that it will continue to declare modest cash dividends through 2012. The Bank reviews its investment in capital stock of the FHLB of Boston for impairment based on the ultimate recoverability of its cost basis in the FHLB of Boston stock. As of December 31, 2011, no impairment has been recognized.

 

Loans held for sale

 

Loans originated and intended for sale in the secondary market are carried at the lower of cost or estimated fair value in the aggregate.  Net unrealized losses, if any, are recognized through a valuation allowance by charges to income.  Fair value is based on committed secondary market prices.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

 

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

 

Loans

 

The loan portfolio consists of mortgage, business and consumer loans to the Bank’s customers, principally in the eastern Massachusetts region and southern New Hampshire.  The ability of the Bank’s debtors to honor their contracts is dependent upon the real estate and general economic conditions in this area.

 

Loans that management has the intent and ability to hold for the foreseeable future or until maturity or pay-off are generally reported at their outstanding unpaid principal balances adjusted for the allowance for loan losses and any deferred fees or costs on originated loans.  Interest income is accrued on the unpaid principal balance.  Loan origination costs, net of origination fees, are deferred and recognized as an adjustment of the related loan yield using the interest method.

 

The accrual of interest on loans, including impaired loans, is generally recognized on a simple interest basis and is discontinued at the time the loan is 90 days past due, unless the credit is well secured and in process of collection.  Past due status is based on the contractual terms of the loans.  Loans are placed on non-accrual or charged-off at an earlier date if collection of principal or interest is considered doubtful.

 

All interest accrued but not collected for loans that are placed on non-accrual or charged-off is reversed against interest income.  The interest on these loans is accounted for on the cash-basis or cost-recovery method, until qualifying for return to accrual.  Loans are returned to accrual status when all the principal and interest amounts contractually due are brought current and future payments are reasonably assured.

 

Allowance for loan losses

 

The allowance for loan losses is established as losses are estimated to have occurred through a provision for loan losses charged to earnings.  Loan losses are charged against the allowance when management believes the uncollectability of a loan balance is confirmed.  Subsequent recoveries, if any, are credited to the allowance.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

 

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

 

Allowance for loan losses (continued)

 

The allowance for loan losses is evaluated on a monthly basis by management and is based upon management’s monthly review of the collectability of the loans in light of known and inherent risks in the nature and volume of the loan portfolio, adverse situations that may affect the borrower’s ability to repay, estimated value of any underlying collateral and prevailing economic conditions.  Additionally, as part of the evaluation of the level of the allowance for loan losses, on a quarterly basis management analyzes several qualitative loan portfolio risk factors including, but not limited to, charge-off history, changes in management or underwriting policies, current economic conditions, delinquency statistics, geographic and industry concentrations, the adequacy of the underlying collateral, the financial strength of the borrower and results of internal and external loan reviews. This evaluation is inherently subjective as it requires estimates that are susceptible to significant revision as more information becomes available.

 

The allowance for loan losses consists of specific, general and unallocated components.  The specific component relates to loans that are classified as impaired.  For such loans that are classified as impaired, an allowance for loan losses is established when the discounted cash flows or the fair value of the existing collateral (less cost to sell) of the impaired loan is lower than the carrying value of that loan.  The general component covers non-impaired loans and is based on historical loss experience adjusted for qualitative factors.  An unallocated component may be maintained to cover uncertainties that could affect management’s estimate of probable losses.

 

A loan is considered impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that the Bank will be unable to collect the scheduled payments of principal or interest when due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement.  Factors considered by management in determining impairment include payment status, collateral value, and the probability of collecting scheduled principal and interest payments when due.  Loans that experience insignificant payment delays and payment shortfalls generally are not classified as impaired.

 

The Bank periodically may agree to modify the contractual terms of loans. When a loan is modified and a concession is made to a borrower experiencing financial difficulty, the modification is considered a troubled debt restructuring (“TDR”).  All TDRs are initially classified as impaired.

 

Adjustable-rate mortgage loans decrease the risk associated with changes in market interest rates by periodically repricing, but involve other risks because, as interest rates increase, the underlying payments by the borrower increase, thus increasing the potential for default by the borrower. At the same time, the marketability of the underlying collateral may be adversely affected by higher interest rates. Upward adjustment of the contractual interest rate is also limited by the maximum periodic and lifetime interest rate adjustments permitted by our loan documents and, therefore, the effectiveness of adjustable-rate mortgage loans may be limited during periods of rapidly rising interest rates.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

 

Allowance for loan losses (concluded)

 

Loans secured by commercial real estate, multi-family and one-to-four family investment properties, generally involve larger principal amounts and a greater degree of risk than one-to-four family residential mortgage loans. Because payments on loans secured by commercial real estate, including multi-family and one-to-four family investment properties, are often dependent on successful operation or management of the properties, repayment of such loans may be affected by adverse conditions in the real estate market or the economy.

 

Unlike residential mortgage loans, which generally are made on the basis of the borrower’s ability to make repayment from his or her employment or other income, and which are secured by real property whose value tends to be more easily ascertainable, commercial business loans generally are made on the basis of the borrower’s ability to repay the loan from the cash flow of the borrower’s business. As a result, the availability of funds for the repayment of commercial business loans may depend substantially on the success of the business itself. Further, any collateral securing the loans may depreciate over time, may be difficult to appraise and may fluctuate in value.

 

Construction and development financing is generally considered to involve a higher degree of credit risk than long-term financing on improved, owner-occupied real estate. Risk of loss on a construction loan depends largely upon the accuracy of the initial estimate of the value of the property at completion of construction compared to the estimated cost (including interest) of construction and other assumptions. If the estimate of construction cost proves to be inaccurate, we may be required to advance funds beyond the amount originally committed in order to protect the value of the property. Additionally, if the estimate of value proves to be inaccurate, we may be confronted with a project, when completed, having a value that is insufficient to assure full repayment.

 

Other real estate owned and in-substance foreclosures

 

Other real estate owned includes properties acquired through foreclosure and properties classified as in-substance foreclosures in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 310-40, “Receivables — Troubled Debt Restructuring by Creditors.”  These properties are carried at the lower of cost or estimated fair value less estimated costs to sell.  Any write down from cost to estimated fair value required at the time of foreclosure or classification as in-substance foreclosure is charged to the allowance for loan losses.  Expenses incurred in connection with maintaining these assets, subsequent write downs and gains or losses recognized upon sale are included in other general and administrative expense.

 

In accordance with ASC 310-10-35, “Receivables - Overall - Subsequent Measurements,” the Company classifies loans as in-substance repossessed or foreclosed if the Company receives physical possession of the debtor’s assets regardless of whether formal foreclosure proceedings take place.

Servicing

 

The Bank services mortgage loans for others.  Mortgage servicing assets are recognized at fair value, as separate assets when rights are acquired through purchase or through sale of financial assets.  Initial fair value is determined using prices for similar assets with similar characteristics. Capitalized servicing rights are reported in other assets and are amortized into loan servicing fee income in proportion to, and over the period of, the estimated future net servicing income of the underlying financial assets.  Servicing assets are evaluated for impairment based upon the fair value of the rights as compared to amortized cost.  Impairment is determined by stratifying rights by predominant risk characteristics, such as interest rates and terms.  Fair value is based on a quarterly, third-party valuation model that calculates the present value of estimated future net servicing income.  Impairment is recognized through a valuation allowance for an individual stratum, to the extent that fair value is less than the capitalized amount for the stratum.  Changes in the valuation allowance are reported in loan servicing fee income.

 

Derivative financial instruments

 

Derivative financial instruments are recognized as assets and liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets and measured at fair value.

 

Derivative Loan Commitments

Mortgage loan commitments are referred to as derivative loan commitments if the loan that will result from exercise of the commitment will be held for sale upon funding.  Loan commitments that are derivatives are recognized at fair value on the consolidated balance sheets in other assets and other liabilities with changes in their fair values recorded in mortgage banking income. Fair value is determined using secondary market pricing, including expected normal servicing rights. In estimating fair value, the Bank assigns a probability to a loan commitment based on an expectation that it will be exercised and the loan will be funded.

 

Forward Loan Sale Commitments

To protect against the price risk inherent in derivative loan commitments, the Bank utilizes both “mandatory delivery” and “best efforts” forward loan sale commitments to mitigate the risk of potential decreases in the values of loans that would result from the exercise of the derivative loan commitments. Mandatory delivery contracts are accounted for as derivative instruments.  Generally, the Bank’s best efforts contracts meet the definition of derivative instruments when the loans to the underlying borrowers close and are accounted for as derivative instruments at that time.  Accordingly, forward loan sale commitments are recognized at fair value on the consolidated balance sheets in other assets and other liabilities with changes in their fair values recorded in mortgage banking income.

 

The Bank estimates the fair value of its forward loan sales commitments using a methodology similar to that used for derivative loan commitments.

Premises and equipment

 

Land is carried at cost.  Buildings, leasehold improvements and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization.  Depreciation and amortization are computed principally on the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets or the expected terms of the leases, if shorter.  Expected terms include lease option periods to the extent that the exercise of such options is reasonably assured.

 

Bank-owned life insurance

 

Bank-owned life insurance policies are reflected on the consolidated balance sheets at cash surrender value. Changes in cash surrender value are reflected in non-interest income on the consolidated statements of income.

 

Transfers of financial assets

 

Transfers of financial assets are accounted for as sales when control over the assets has been surrendered. Control over transferred assets is deemed to be surrendered when (1) the assets have been isolated from the Company, (2) the transferee obtains the right (free of conditions that constrain it from taking advantage of that right) to pledge or exchange the transferred assets, and (3) the Company does not maintain effective control over the transferred assets through an agreement to repurchase them before their maturity.

 

Income taxes

 

Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are determined using the liability (or balance sheet) method. Under this method, the net deferred tax asset or liability is determined based on the tax effects of the temporary differences between the book and tax bases of the various balance sheet assets and liabilities and gives current recognition to changes in tax rates and laws.  A valuation allowance is established against deferred tax assets when, based upon the available evidence including historical and projected taxable income, it is more likely than not that some or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The Company does not have any uncertain tax positions at December 31, 2011 which require accrual or disclosure.

 

Income tax benefits related to stock compensation in excess of grant date fair value less any proceeds on exercise are recognized as an increase to additional paid-in capital upon vesting or exercising and delivery of the stock. Any income tax effects related to stock compensation that are less than grant date fair value less any proceeds on exercise would be recognized as a reduction of additional paid in capital to the extent of previously recognized income tax benefits and then through income tax expense for the remaining amount.

Employee Stock Ownership Plan

 

Compensation expense for the Employee Stock Ownership Plan (“ESOP”) is recorded at an amount equal to the shares committed to be allocated by the ESOP multiplied by the average fair market value of the shares during the period. The Bank recognizes compensation expense ratably over the year based upon the Bank’s estimate of the number of shares expected to be allocated by the ESOP. Unearned compensation applicable to the ESOP is reflected as a reduction of stockholders’ equity in the consolidated balance sheets. The difference between the average fair market value and the cost of the shares allocated by the ESOP is recorded as an adjustment to additional paid-in capital.

 

Share-based Compensation Plan

 

The Company measures and recognizes compensation cost relating to share-based payment transactions based on the grant-date fair value of the equity instruments issued.  Share-based compensation is recognized over the period the employee is required to provide services for the award.  Reductions in compensation expense associated with forfeited options are estimated at the date of grant, and this estimated forfeiture rate is adjusted quarterly based on actual forfeiture experience.  The Company uses the Black-Scholes option-pricing model to determine the fair value of stock options granted.

Earnings per share

 

Basic earnings per share represents net income available to common stockholders divided by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period.  If rights to dividends on unvested options/awards are non-forfeitable, these unvested awards/options are considered outstanding in the computation of basic earnings per share.  Diluted earnings per share reflects additional common shares that would have been outstanding if dilutive potential common shares had been issued, as well as any adjustment to income that would result from the assumed issuance.  Potential common shares that may be issued by the Company relate to outstanding stock options and restricted stock awards and are determined using the treasury stock method.

 

Treasury shares and unallocated ESOP shares are not deemed outstanding for earnings per share calculations.

 

Earnings per common share have been computed based on the following:

Comprehensive income

 

Accounting principles generally require that recognized revenue, expenses, gains and losses be included in operating results.  Although certain changes in assets and liabilities, such as unrealized gains and losses on securities available for sale, are reported as a separate component of the stockholders’ equity section of the consolidated balance sheets, such items, along with net income, are components of comprehensive income.

 

Recent accounting pronouncements

 

In April 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2011-02, “A Creditor’s Determination of Whether a Restructuring Is a Troubled Debt Restructuring.” This ASU provides additional guidance or clarification to help creditors determine whether a restructuring constitutes a troubled debt restructuring. For public entities, the amendments in this ASU are effective for the first interim or annual period beginning on or after September 15, 2011, and should be applied retrospectively to the beginning of the annual period of adoption. As a result of applying these amendments, an entity may identify receivables that are newly considered impaired, and should measure impairment on those receivables prospectively for the first interim or annual period beginning on or after September 15, 2011. Additional disclosures are also required under this ASU. On July 1, 2011 the Company adopted this ASU. Refer to Note 6 — Loans and Servicing for further information.

 

In April 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-03, “Reconsideration of Effective Control for Repurchase Agreements.” The objective of this ASU is to improve the accounting for repurchase agreements and other agreements that both entitle and obligate a transferor to repurchase or redeem financial assets before their maturity. This ASU prescribes when an entity may or may not recognize a sale upon the transfer of financial assets subject to repurchase agreements. The guidance in this ASU is effective for the first interim or annual period beginning on or after December 15, 2011. Early adoption is not permitted.  The Company does not anticipate that the adoption of this guidance will have a material impact on its financial position or results of operation.

 

In May 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-04, “Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards.” The amendments in this ASU explain how to measure fair value. They do not require additional fair value measurements and are not intended to establish valuation standards or affect valuation practices outside of financial reporting. The amendments in this ASU are to be applied prospectively. For public entities, the amendments are effective during interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011.  The Company does not anticipate that the adoption of this guidance will have a material impact on its financial position or results of operation.

Under this ASU, an entity has the option to present the total of comprehensive income, the components of net income, and the components of other comprehensive income either in a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements. An entity is required to present each component of net income along with total net income, each component of other comprehensive income along with a total for other comprehensive income, and a total amount for comprehensive income. An entity is required to present on the face of the financial statements reclassification adjustments for items that are reclassified from other comprehensive income to net income in the statement(s) where the components of net income and the components of other comprehensive income are presented. The amendments in this ASU should be applied retrospectively. For public entities, the amendments are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2011. The Company does not anticipate that the adoption of this guidance will have a material impact on its financial position or results of operation.

 

In December 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-11, “Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities.” This ASU is to enhance current disclosures. Entities are required to disclose both gross information and net information about both instruments and transactions eligible for offset in the statement of financial position and instruments and transactions subject to an agreement similar to a master netting arrangement. The amendments in this ASU are effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013, and interim periods within those annual periods. An entity should provide the disclosures required by those amendments retrospectively for all comparative periods presented. The Company does not anticipate that the adoption of this guidance will have a material impact on its financial position or results of operation.

 

In December 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-12, “Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Deferral of the Effective Date for Amendments to the Presentation of Reclassifications of Items Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income in Accounting Standards Update No. 2011-05.”  The amendments in this update defer those changes in ASU 2011-05 that relate to the presentation of reclassifications out of accumulated other comprehensive income on the components of net income and other comprehensive income for all periods presented.  All other requirements in ASU 2011-05 are not affected by this update. The amendments are effective during interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011.  The Company does not anticipate that the adoption of this guidance will have a material impact on its financial position or results of operation.

Credit Quality Information

 

The Company utilizes an eleven grade internal loan rating system for commercial real estate, construction and residential mortgages and commercial business loans as follows:

 

Loans rated 1 - 5:  Loans in these categories are considered “pass” rated loans with low to average risk.

 

Loans rated 6:  Loans in this category are considered “marginally acceptable.”  These loans are starting to show signs of potential weakness and are being closely monitored by management.

 

Loans rated 6.5:  Loans in this category are considered “management attention.”  These loans are placed on a “watch list” and are being closely monitored by management because of some borrower management weaknesses and non-monetary defaults.

 

Loans rated 7:  Loans in this category are considered “special mention.”  These loans are starting to show signs of potential weakness and are being closely monitored by management.

 

Loans rated 8:  Loans in this category are considered “substandard.”  These loans have a well defined weakness that jeopardize the liquidation of the debt and is inadequately protected by the current sound worth and paying capacity of the borrower or pledged collateral. There is a distinct possibility that the Company will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected.

 

Loans rated 9:  Loans in this category are considered “doubtful.”  Loans classified as doubtful have all the weaknesses inherent in those classified substandard with the added characteristic that the weaknesses make collection or liquidation in full, on the basis of currently existing facts, highly questionable and improbable.

 

Loans rated 10:  Loans in this category are considered uncollectible “loss” and it has been determined uncollectible and the chance of loss in inevitable. Loans in this category will be charged-off.

 

On an annual basis, or more often if needed, the Company formally reviews the ratings on all commercial real estate, construction and commercial business loans.

Loans serviced for others and mortgage servicing rights

 

Mortgage loans serviced for others are not included in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. The unpaid principal balances of mortgage loans serviced for others were $57,948,000 and $45,028,000 at December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

 

The risks inherent in the mortgage servicing assets relate primarily to changes in prepayments that result from shifts in mortgage interest rates. The fair value of servicing rights was $493,000 at December 31, 2011 and was determined using the moving average 10-year U.S. Treasury rate plus 5.0%, adjusted to reflect the current credit spreads and conditions in the market, as a discount rate. Prepayment assumptions, which are impacted by loan rates and terms, are calculated using a moving average of prepayment data published by the Securities Industry and Financial Markets Association, an independent third party proprietary analysis of prepayment rates embedded in liquid mortgage securities markets and modeled against the serviced loan portfolio by the independent third party valuation specialist.

 

The following summarizes mortgage servicing rights capitalized and amortized:

INCOME TAXES (concluded)

 

The federal income tax reserve for loan losses at the Company’s base year is $723,000.  If any portion of the reserve is used for purposes other than to absorb loan losses, approximately 150% of the amount actually used (limited to the amount of the reserve) would be subject to taxation in the fiscal year in which it is used.  As the Company intends to use the reserve solely to absorb loan losses, a deferred tax liability of $289,000 has not been provided.

 

Uncertain tax positions

 

It is the Company’s policy to provide for uncertain tax positions and the related interest and penalties based upon management’s assessment of whether a tax benefit is more likely than not to be sustained upon examination by tax authorities.  As of December 31, 2011 and 2010 there were no material uncertain tax positions related to federal and state income tax matters.  The Company is currently open to audit under the statute of limitations by the Internal Revenue Service and state taxing authorities for the years ended June 30, 2008 through December 31, 2011.

 

 

 

 

12.     MINIMUM REGULATORY CAPITAL REQUIREMENTS

 

The Bank is subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (“OCC”).  Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can initiate certain mandatory and possibly additional discretionary actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.  Under capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, the Bank must meet specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of their assets, liabilities and certain off-balance sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting practices.  The capital amounts and classification are also subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators about components, risk weightings, and other factors. Federal savings and loan holding companies are not subject to any regulatory capital requirements by the OCC.

 

Quantitative measures established by regulation to ensure capital adequacy require the Bank to maintain minimum amounts and ratios of Total and Tier 1 capital (as defined) to risk-weighted assets (as defined), Tier 1 capital (as defined) to average assets (as defined) and tangible capital (as defined) to tangible assets (as defined).  Management believes, as of December 31, 2011 and 2010, that the Bank meets all capital adequacy requirements to which it is subject.

MINIMUM REGULATORY CAPITAL REQUIREMENTS (continued)

 

As of December 31, 2011, the most recent notification from the OCC categorized the Bank as well capitalized under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action. To be categorized as well capitalized, the Bank must maintain minimum Total risk-based, Tier 1 risk-based and Tier 1 leverage ratios as set forth in the following table. There are no conditions or events since that notification that management believes have changed the Bank’s category. The Bank’s actual capital amounts and ratios as of December 31, 2011 and 2010 are also presented in the table.

MINIMUM REGULATORY CAPITAL REQUIREMENTS (concluded)

 

Other capital restrictions

 

Federal banking regulations place certain restrictions on dividends paid, stock repurchases and other transactions charged to the capital accounts of the Bank. Capital distributions in the form of dividends paid to the Bank’s stockholder for any one year may not exceed the Bank’s net income for the year to date plus the Bank’s retained net income for the preceding two years.  In addition, dividends paid would be prohibited if the effect thereof would cause the Bank’s capital to be reduced below applicable minimum capital requirements.

 

Periodically, the Office of Thrift Supervision (“OTS”), as the former primary federal regulator of federal savings banks, recommended certain of those institutions take voluntary steps to reduce risk to the institutions and the federal deposit insurance fund. In light of the then-existing economic environment and the Bank’s then-anticipated loan growth, the OTS requested and the Bank’s Board of Directors agreed on October 27, 2008, to certain voluntary constraints on the Bank’s leveraged growth strategy, which constraints have been modified over time. The voluntary constraints are as follows: (1) the Bank will maintain a Tier 1 (core) capital ratio of at least 7.1%; and (2) in the event the Tier 1 (core) capital ratio decreases below 7.5%, the ratio of “high-risk” loans, as defined, to Tier 1 (core) capital would not exceed 450%; the ratio of classified assets to Tier 1 (core) capital (plus the allowance for loan losses) would not exceed 15%; and the ratio of nonperforming assets to total assets would not exceed 1.5%. As of December 31, 2011, the Bank was in compliance with the requested targets. As of December 31, 2011, the Company has approximately $700,000 of cash available to down-stream to the Bank to support its future capital needs. The Bank does not expect these voluntary restrictions to negatively affect its operations.

 

13.     EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS

 

401(k) plan

 

The Bank provides a savings and retirement plan for employees, which qualifies under Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code.  All employees who have attained age 21 and have completed one year of employment during which they worked at least 1,000 hours are eligible to participate.  The plan provides for voluntary contributions by participating employees ranging from 1% to 75% of their compensation, subject to certain limitations.  In addition, the Bank will make a matching contribution, equal to 50% of the employee’s contribution.  The Bank’s matching contribution will not exceed 3% of an employee’s salary.  In addition, the Bank may make a discretionary contribution not to exceed 3% of an employee’s salary.  For the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, expense attributable to the plan amounted to $110,000 and $138,000, respectively.

EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS (continued)

 

Incentive plan

 

The Bank has an Incentive Plan whereby all employees are eligible to receive a payment if the Bank meets or exceeds certain base standards of performance for its fiscal year.  The structure of the Incentive Plan is to be reviewed on an annual basis by the Board of Directors.  Incentive compensation expense for the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010 amounted to $68,000 and $175,000, respectively.

 

Executive supplemental retirement agreements

 

The Bank has entered into supplemental retirement agreements with certain executive officers, which provide for the payment of specified benefits upon retirement or early termination, as defined in the agreements. For the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, total expense applicable to these agreements amounted to $111,000 and $112,000, respectively.

 

Employee Stock Ownership Plan

 

The Bank established an ESOP for the benefit of each employee who has reached the age of 21 and has completed at least one year of employment with the Bank.  Benefits may be paid in shares of common stock or in cash, subject to the employees’ right to demand shares.

 

The ESOP has a loan agreement with the Company whereby $1,000,000 was borrowed for the purpose of purchasing shares of the Company’s common stock.  At December 31, 2011, the loan has three remaining annual principal and interest payments of $117,000 and one payment of $57,000, all of which are due on the last business day of the respective year.  The loan documents provide that the loan may be repaid over a shorter period, without penalty for prepayments.

Share-based compensation plan

 

In accordance with the Company’s 2009 Equity Incentive Plan, the Company awarded 25,998 stock options and 25,998 shares of restricted stock to eligible participants on February 22, 2011.  The 2009 Plan provides for total awards of 250,000 shares of the Company’s common stock pursuant to grants of restricted stock awards, incentive stock options, non-qualified stock options and stock appreciation rights; provided, however, that shares of stock used to fund stock options greater than 136,085 shares must be obtained through stock repurchases and shares of stock used to fund restricted stock awards greater than 54,434 shares must be obtained through stock repurchases.

 

The exercise price of each option will be equal to or greater than the market price of the Company’s stock on the date of grant and the maximum term of each option is ten years.  Vesting periods for options and restricted stock granted to directors and officers are three years and five years, respectively, from the date of grant.

 

The fair value of the stock options granted was estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following weighted-average assumptions:

The expected volatility is based on historical volatility.  The risk-free interest rates for periods consistent with the expected term of the awards are based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of the grant. The expected term is determined using the average of the mathematical mean of the vesting period and the full term of the option rather than estimating based on historical experience. The dividend yield assumption is based on the Company’s history and expectation of dividend payouts.

14.     COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

 

Loan commitments

 

The Bank is a party to financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk in the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of its customers.  These financial instruments include commitments to extend credit, which involve elements of credit and interest rate risk in excess of the amount recognized in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.  The Bank’s exposure to credit loss is represented by the contractual amount of the instruments.  The Bank uses the same credit policies in making commitments as it does for on-balance sheet instruments.  Financial instruments whose contract amounts represent credit risk consist of the following:

COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES (continued)

 

Loan commitments (concluded)

 

Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to a customer as long as there is no violation of any condition established in the contract.  Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses and may require payment of a fee.  The commitments for all lines of credit may expire without being drawn upon, therefore, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements.  The Bank evaluates each customer’s credit worthiness on a case-by-case basis. Substantially all of these financial instruments, except for unadvanced lines of credit on unsecured personal loans and commercial lines of credit, are secured by real estate.

 

Standby letters of credit are conditional commitments issued by the Bank to guarantee the performance by a customer to a third party.  The credit risk involved in issuing letters of credit is essentially the same as that involved in extending loan facilities to customers.  As of December 31, 2011 and 2010, the maximum potential amount of the Bank’s obligation was $125,000, for standby letters of credit.  The Bank’s outstanding letters of credit generally have a term of less than one year.  If a letter of credit is drawn upon, the Bank may seek recourse through the customer’s underlying line of credit.  If the customer’s line of credit is also in default, the Bank may take possession of the collateral, if any, securing the line of credit.

 

 

Lease commitments

 

Pursuant to the terms of non-cancelable lease agreements in effect at December 31, 2011, pertaining to branch facilities, future minimum rental payments are as follows:

COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES (concluded)

 

Employment agreements

 

The Bank has entered into employment agreements with its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, with initial terms of thirty-six months, that generally provide for a specified minimum annual compensation and the continuation of benefits currently received upon certain termination events, including a change in control, as defined in the agreements.  The employment agreements may be terminated for cause, as defined, without incurring any continuing obligations.  In addition, the Bank has entered into change in control agreements with three officers of the Bank with an initial term of twelve months, which provides for a lump sum severance payment, subject to certain conditions.  These agreements are automatically renewed annually unless a notice of non-renewal is issued upon recommendation from the Board of Directors.

 

Other contingencies

 

Various legal claims arise from time to time in the normal course of business which, in the opinion of management, will have no material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position.

 

15.     LOANS TO RELATED PARTIES

 

In the ordinary course of business, the Bank grants loans to its Executive Officers and Directors and their affiliates.  Total loans to such persons and their affiliates amounted to $4,176,000 as of December 31, 2011.  During the year ended December 31, 2011, principal payments totaled $996,000 and principal advances amounted to $597,000.

 

 

16.                  DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

 

Mortgage loan commitments

 

The Company enters into commitments to originate mortgage loans for sale and uses forward commitments to sell such loans, both of which represent derivative instruments. These instruments involve both credit and market risk.

 

Commitments to originate loans require the Company to originate a loan at an interest rate that may or may not be fixed upon completion of various underwriting requirements. At December 31, 2011, the Company had $2,800,000 in outstanding commitments to grant mortgage loans that are intended to be sold, the fair value of which was not material. At December 31, 2010, the Company had $1,100,000 in outstanding commitments to grant mortgage loans that are intended to be sold, the fair value of which was not material.

 

Forward commitments to sell loans require the Company to make delivery at a specific future date of a specified amount, at a specified price or yield. At December 31, 2011, such commitments amounted to $3,600,000, the fair value of which was not material. At December 31, 2010, such commitments amounted to $1,800,000, the fair value of which was not material.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

 

17.     FAIR VALUE OF ASSETS AND LIABILITIES

 

The Company uses fair value measurements to record fair value adjustments to certain assets and liabilities and to determine their fair value disclosures. The fair value of a financial instrument is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Fair value is best determined based upon quoted market prices. However, in many instances, there are no quoted market prices for the Company’s various financial instruments. In cases where quoted market prices are not available, fair values are based on estimates using present value or other valuation techniques. Those techniques are significantly affected by the assumptions used, including the discount rate and estimates of future cash flows. Accordingly, the fair value estimates may not be realized in an immediate settlement of the instrument.

 

Determination of fair value

 

The following methods and assumptions were used by the Company in estimating fair value disclosures for financial instruments:

 

Cash and cash equivalents: The carrying amounts of cash and short-term investments approximate fair values.

 

Securities: Fair values for the Company’s debt securities are obtained from a third-party pricing service and are based on models that consider standard input factors such as observable market data, benchmark yields, interest rate volatilities, broker/dealer quotes, credit spreads and new issue data. No further adjustments to such values are made by the Company.

 

Federal Home Loan Bank stock: Fair value is based on redemption provisions of the FHLB. The FHLB stock has no quoted market value.

 

Loans held for sale: Fair value is based on committed secondary market prices.

 

Loans: For variable-rate loans that reprice frequently and with no significant change in credit risk, fair values are based on carrying values.  Fair values for other loans are estimated using discounted cash flow analyses, using market interest rates currently being offered for loans with similar terms to borrowers of similar credit quality. Fair values for impaired loans are estimated using discounted cash flow analyses or underlying collateral values, where applicable.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

 

FAIR VALUE OF ASSETS AND LIABILITIES (continued)

 

Determination of fair value (continued)

 

Capitalized mortgage servicing rights: Fair value is based on a quarterly, third-party valuation model that calculates the present value of estimated future net servicing income. The model utilizes a variety of assumptions, the most significant of which are loan prepayment assumptions and the discount rate used to discount future cash flows. Prepayment assumptions, which are impacted by loan rates and terms, are calculated using a moving average of prepayment data published by the Securities Industry and Financial Markets Association, third party proprietary analysis of prepayment rates embedded in liquid mortgage securities markets and modeled against the serviced loan portfolio by the third party valuation specialist. The discount rate is the moving average 10-year U.S. Treasury rate plus 5.0% and adjusted to reflect the current credit spreads and conditions in the market. Other assumptions include delinquency rates, foreclosure rates, servicing cost inflation, and annual unit loan cost. All assumptions are adjusted periodically to reflect current circumstances and all are obtained from independent market sources.

 

Deposits: The fair values for non-certificate accounts are, by definition, equal to the amount payable on demand at the reporting date which is the carrying amount.  Fair values for certificates of deposit are estimated using a discounted cash flow calculation that applies market interest rates currently being offered on certificates to a schedule of aggregated expected monthly maturities on time deposits.

 

Securities sold under agreements to repurchase: The fair value estimate of securities sold under agreements to repurchase approximates carrying value as they mature daily and bear market interest rates.

 

Short-term FHLB advances: The fair value of short-term FHLB advances approximate carrying value, as they generally mature within 90 days.

 

Long-term FHLB advances: The fair value for long-term FHLB advances is estimated using discounted cash flow analyses based on current market borrowing rates for similar types of borrowing arrangements.

 

Mortgagors’ escrow accounts: The fair value disclosed for mortgagors’ escrow accounts are equal to the amounts payable on demand at the reporting date (i.e. their carrying amounts).

 

Accrued interest:  The carrying amounts of accrued interest approximate fair value.

 

Forward loan sale commitments and derivative loan commitments: Fair value is determined using secondary market pricing, including expected normal servicing rights. In estimating fair value, the Bank assigns a probability to a loan commitment based on an expectation that it will be exercised and the loan will be funded.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

 

FAIR VALUE OF ASSETS AND LIABILITIES (continued)

 

Determination of fair value (concluded)

 

Off-balance sheet instruments:  Fair values for off-balance sheet, credit-related financial instruments are based on fees currently charged to enter into similar agreements, taking into account the remaining terms of the agreements and the counterparties’ credit standing.  At December 31, 2011 and 2010, the fair value of commitments outstanding is not significant since fees charged are not material.

Assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis

 

The Company may also be required, from time to time, to measure certain other financial assets on a nonrecurring basis in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. These adjustments to fair value usually result from application of lower-of-cost-or-market accounting or write-downs of individual assets.  There are no liabilities measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis at December 31, 2011 and 2010.  The following table summarizes the fair value hierarchy used to determine each adjustment and the carrying value of the related individual assets as of December 31, 2011 and 2010. The fair value adjustments represent the amount of write down recorded during the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010 on the assets held at December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

Fair values of impaired loans are based on the appraised value of the underlying collateral considering discounting factors, if deemed appropriate, and as adjusted for selling costs. These appraised values may be discounted based on management’s historical knowledge, expertise or changes in market conditions from time of valuation. Fair value adjustments are reflected in the provision for loan losses.

 

Other real estate owned values are estimated using level 2 inputs based on appraisals of similar properties obtained from a third party. For level 3 inputs, fair values are based on management estimates.

18.     CONVERSION AND REORGANIZATION TO STOCK HOLDING COMPANY

 

On November 28, 2011, the Boards of Directors of the Company, the Mutual Holding Company and the Bank each unanimously adopted a Plan of Conversion or Reorganization of the Mutual Holding Company (the “Plan”) pursuant to which the Mutual Holding Company will undertake a “second-step” conversion and cease to exist.  The Bank will reorganize from a two-tier mutual holding company structure to a fully public stock holding company structure.  The Mutual Holding Company currently owns approximately 57.0% of the shares of common stock of the Company.

 

Pursuant to the Plan, (i) the Bank will become a wholly owned subsidiary of a to-be-formed stock corporation (“New Holding Company”), (ii) the shares of common stock of the Company held by persons other than the Mutual Holding Company (whose shares will be cancelled) will be converted into shares of common stock of the New Holding Company pursuant to an exchange ratio designed to preserve the percentage ownership interests of such persons (excluding shares purchased in the stock offering described below and cash received in lieu of fractional shares), and (iii) the New Holding Company will offer and sell shares of common stock representing the ownership interest of the Mutual Holding Company in a subscription offering.  The Plan is subject to regulatory approval as well as the approval of the Mutual Holding Company’s Corporators, Georgetown Savings Bank’s depositors and the Company’s stockholders (including the approval of a majority of the Company’s outstanding shares of common stock held by persons other than the Mutual Holding Company).  The costs of the reorganization and stock offering will be deferred and deducted from the proceeds of the stock offering.  In the event the reorganization and stock offering are not completed, any deferred costs will be charged to operations.  Through December 31, 2011, the Company had incurred $30,000 of costs related to the reorganization and stock offering.

 

In accordance with Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System regulations, at the time of the reorganization, the New Holding Company will substantially restrict retained earnings by establishing a liquidation account.  The liquidation account will be maintained for the benefit of eligible account holders who continue to maintain their accounts at the Bank after conversion.  The Bank will establish a parallel liquidation account to support the New Holding Company’s liquidation account in the event the New Holding Company does not have sufficient assets to fund its obligations under its liquidation account.  The liquidation accounts will be reduced annually to the extent that eligible account holders have reduced their qualifying deposits.  Subsequent increases will not restore an eligible account holder’s interest in the liquidation accounts.  In the event of a complete liquidation of the Bank or the New Holding Company, each account holder will be entitled to receive a distribution in an amount proportionate to the adjusted qualifying account balances then held.  The Bank may not pay dividends if those dividends would reduce equity capital below the required liquidation account amount.
