EXPLANATORY NOTE

DEREGISTRATION OF UNSOLD SECURITIES

This Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 is being filed to deregister unsold securities of Pilgrim Bancshares, Inc., a Maryland corporation (“Pilgrim”), that were registered on a Registration Statement on Form S-8 (File No. 333-211826) filed by Pilgrim with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on June 3, 2016 (the “Registration Statement”). The Registration Statement registered 314,661 shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of Pilgrim and 224,758 stock options under the Pilgrim Bancshares, Inc. 2015 Equity Incentive Plan.

On January 31, 2019, pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of July 25, 2018, by and among Hometown Financial Group, MHC, a Massachusetts mutual holding company, Hometown Financial Group, Inc., a Massachusetts corporation (“Hometown Financial”), and Pilgrim, Pilgrim merged with and into Hometown Financial Group Acquisition Corp., a Maryland corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of Hometown Financial formed solely to facilitate the merger, with Pilgrim as the surviving entity (the “Merger”). The Merger was effective as of 5:01 p.m. on January 31, 2019. As a result of the Merger, Pilgrim became a wholly owned subsidiary of Hometown Financial. Immediately after Pilgrim causes this form and related forms and reports to be filed with the SEC, Pilgrim will merge with and into Hometown Financial, with Hometown Financial as the surviving entity.

In connection with the Merger, Pilgrim has terminated any and all offerings of its securities pursuant to the Registration Statement. Accordingly, pursuant to the undertakings contained therein, Pilgrim hereby removes from registration any and all securities of Pilgrim registered but unsold under the Registration Statement as of the date hereof.
