Section 1 – Registrant’s Business and Operations

Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

     Camco Financial Corporation (“Camco”) maintains both a short-term cash bonus plan and a long-term stock-based incentive plan. Bonus and incentive plan awards for the executive officers of Camco are based on the achievement of corporate performance objectives which are established annually by Camco’s compensation committee at the beginning of each year. On December 13, 2005, the Compensation Committee set the following performance objectives and weightings for 2006: earnings per share (15%), return on average tangible equity (10%), net interest margin (10%), non-interest income to total revenue (10%), non-interest checking growth (10%), net retail deposit growth (5%), loan volume (15%), efficiency ratio (10%), non-performing assets as a percent of average assets (10%), and stock price (5%).

     For 2006, the potential cash bonus amounts will range from 0%-50% of the Chief Executive Officer’s base salary and 0%-35% of the other executive officers’ base salaries, subject to the percentage of performance measurements achieved. Additional discretionary bonus amounts may also be awarded under the cash bonus plan in recognition of other achievements, such as merger and acquisition activities, which are not part of the established performance objectives.
