Exhibit A
The trustees of the ESOP hold shares of common stock of the Issuer in trust for the benefit of employees participating in the ESOP. Pursuant to Section 8.01 of the ESOP, (i) the trustees vote common stock allocated to participant accounts in accordance with written instructions by participants, (ii) shares of common stock of the Issuer which have not been allocated and allocated stock for which no voting direction has been received shall be voted by the trustees in the same proportion as participants direct the voting of allocated shares, and (iii) if no voting direction has been received as to allocated shares, Madison Bank of Maryland, as the ESOP Committee, may direct the trustees as to the voting of all unallocated shares, and if the ESOP Committee gives no direction, the trustees shall vote such shares in their sole discretion. Pursuant to Section 9.02 of the ESOP, the trustees exercise investment discretion as directed by the ESOP Committee. However, the trustees must exercise voting and dispositive power with respect to the assets held by the ESOP, including common stock of the Issuer, in accordance with the fiduciary responsibility requirements imposed by Section 404 of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended. A majority vote of the trustees is required to exercise any voting or investment power over the shares held in the ESOP.
The ESOP trustees and their beneficial ownership of the shares of common stock of the Issuer exclusive of responsibilities as an ESOP trustee or ESOP sponsor, as the case may be, are as follows (such ownership disregarded in reporting the ESOP’s ownership within this Schedule 13G/A).
