ANNUAL MEETING OF STOCKHOLDERS

To be Held on Monday, November 19, 2018

 

INTRODUCTION

 

This Proxy Statement is furnished in connection with the solicitation of proxies on behalf of the Board of Directors of Community Savings Bancorp, Inc. (the “Company” or “Community Savings Bancorp”) to be used at the Company’s 2018 Annual Meeting of Stockholders (the “Annual Meeting”), which will be held at the office of Community Savings located at 425 Main Street, Caldwell, Ohio at 5:00 p.m., Eastern time, on Monday, November 19, 2018, and all adjournments of the Annual Meeting. The accompanying Notice of Annual Meeting of Stockholders and this Proxy Statement are first being mailed to stockholders on or about October 22, 2018.

 

REVOCATION OF PROXIES

 

Stockholders who execute proxies in the form solicited hereby retain the right to revoke them in the manner described below. Unless so revoked, the shares represented by such proxies will be voted at the Annual Meeting and all adjournments thereof. Proxies solicited on behalf of the Company’s Board of Directors will be voted in accordance with the directions given thereon. Where no instructions are indicated, validly executed proxies will be voted “FOR” the proposals set forth in this Proxy Statement.

 

The Board of Directors knows of no additional matters that will be presented for consideration at the Annual Meeting. Execution of a proxy, however, confers on the designated proxy holder’s discretionary authority to vote the shares in accordance with their best judgment on such other business, if any, which may properly come before the Annual Meeting or any adjournments thereof.

 

Proxies may be revoked by sending written notice of revocation to the Company’s Secretary at the Company’s address shown above, the submission of a later-dated proxy, or by voting in person at the Annual Meeting. The presence at the Annual Meeting of any stockholder who had returned a proxy shall not revoke such proxy unless the stockholder delivers his or her ballot in person at the Annual Meeting or delivers a written revocation to the Company’s Secretary prior to the voting of such proxy.

 

VOTING SECURITIES AND PRINCIPAL HOLDERS THEREOF

 

Holders of record of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.01 per share, as of the close of business on October 16, 2018 (the “Record Date”) are entitled to one vote for each share then held. As of the Record Date, the Company had 441,290 shares of common stock issued and outstanding. The presence in person or by proxy of a majority of the outstanding shares of common stock entitled to vote is necessary to constitute a quorum at the Annual Meeting.

 

 1 

 

 

In accordance with the provisions of the Company’s Articles of Incorporation, record holders of common stock who beneficially own in excess of 10% of the outstanding shares of common stock (the “Limit”) are not entitled to any vote with respect to the shares held in excess of the Limit. The Company’s Articles of Incorporation authorize the Board of Directors (i) to make all determinations necessary to implement and apply the Limit, including determining whether persons or entities are acting in concert, and (ii) to demand that any person who is reasonably believed to beneficially own stock in excess of the Limit supply information to the Company to enable the Board of Directors to implement and apply the Limit.

 

As to the election of directors, the proxy card being provided by the Board of Directors enables a stockholder to vote FOR the election of the nominees proposed by the Board of Directors, to WITHHOLD AUTHORITY to vote for all the nominees being proposed or to vote FOR ALL EXCEPT one or more of the nominees being proposed. Directors are elected by a plurality of votes cast, without regard to either broker non-votes or proxies as to which the authority to vote for the nominees being proposed is withheld. Plurality means that individuals who receive the largest number of votes cast are elected, up to the maximum number of directors to be elected at the Meeting.

 

As to the ratification of the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm, the proxy card being provided by the Board of Directors enables a stockholder to: (i) vote FOR the proposal; (ii) vote AGAINST the proposal; or (iii) ABSTAIN from voting on the proposal. The ratification of the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm must be approved by the affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast without regard to broker non-votes or proxies marked ABSTAIN.

 

In the event at the time of the Annual Meeting there are not sufficient votes for a quorum or to approve or ratify any matter being presented, the Annual Meeting may be adjourned in order to permit the further solicitation of proxies.

 

Proxies solicited hereby will be returned to us and will be tabulated by an Inspector of Election designated by the Company’s Board of Directors.

 

Participants in the 401(k) Plan and ESOP Plan. If you hold stock of Community Savings Bancorp in the Community Savings Employee Stock Ownership Plan (the “ESOP”) or the Community Savings 401(k) Plan (the “401(k) Plan”), you will receive a vote authorization form that reflects all shares you may direct the trustees to vote on your behalf under the plans. Under the terms of the ESOP, the ESOP trustee votes all shares held by the ESOP, but each ESOP participant may direct the trustee how to vote the shares of common stock allocated to his or her account. If the determination of allocated shares has not yet been made, each ESOP participant shall be deemed to have one share allocated to his or her account for voting purposes. The ESOP trustee, subject to the exercise of its fiduciary responsibilities, will vote all unallocated shares of Community Savings Bancorp common stock held by the ESOP and all allocated shares for which no voting instructions are received in the same proportion as shares for which it has received timely voting instructions. Under the terms of the 401(k) Plan, a participant is entitled to direct the trustee how to vote the shares in the Community Savings Bancorp Stock Fund credited to his or her account. The trustee will vote all shares for which it does not receive timely instructions from participants in the same proportion as shares for which the trustee received voting instructions. The deadline for returning your voting instructions is November 12, 2018.

PROPOSAL I - ELECTION OF DIRECTORS

 

The Company’s Board of Directors is comprised of five members. The Company’s bylaws provide, and the terms of the Company’s Board of Directors are classified so, that approximately one-third of the directors are to be elected annually. The Company’s directors are generally elected to serve for a three-year period and until their respective successors shall have been elected and shall qualify. Two directors will be elected at the Annual Meeting. The Company’s Nominating Committee has nominated Brian Shanahan and Scott Wright, each to serve as directors for three-year terms. Messrs. Shanahan and Wright are each a member of the Board of Directors, and each of the nominees has agreed to serve, if elected.

 

 3 

 

  

The table below sets forth certain information regarding the composition of the Company’s Board of Directors, including the terms of office of each director. It is intended that the proxies solicited on behalf of the Board of Directors (other than proxies in which the vote is withheld as to one or more nominees) will be voted at the Annual Meeting for the election of the nominees identified below. If the nominee is unable to serve, the shares represented by all such proxies will be voted for the election of such other substitute as the Board of Directors may recommend. At this time, the Board of Directors knows of no reason why the nominees might be unable to serve, if elected. Except as indicated herein, there are no arrangements or understandings between any nominee and any other person pursuant to which such nominee was selected.

 

The Board of Directors recommends a vote “FOR” each of the nominees listed in this Proxy Statement.

(1)Includes service on the Board of Directors of Community Savings.

 

The Business Background of the Company’s Directors and Executive Officers

 

The business experience for the past five years of each of the Company’s 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 and Corporate Governance Committee and the Board of Directors to determine that the person should serve as a director. Each director is also a director of Community Savings (the “Bank”). Unless otherwise indicated, directors and executive officers have held their positions for the past five years.

 

Nominees

 

Brian Shanahan is a Plant Manager at Ridge Tool Distribution Center where he oversees approximately 90 employees and $6.0 million of annual revenues, a position he has held since 1994. Mr. Shanahan provides the board with managerial experience as the top management official of a regional distribution center.

 

 4 

 

 

Scott Wright is a professor of finance at Ohio University, a position he has held since 1987. Mr. Wright has also owned various small businesses and worked as an investment representative. His understanding of finance provides the board with valuable expertise in overseeing management with respect to certain financial decisions.

 

Continuing Directors

 

Michael Schott is a high school teacher where he teaches Industrial Technology, a position he has held since 1998. Prior to teaching, for 12 years Mr. Schott ran his family-owned pallet manufacturing business. Mr. Schott provides the board with managerial experience as a former small business owner.

 

Alvin B. Parmiter is our President and Chief Executive Officer, positions he has held since he began his employment with Community Savings in 1998. Mr. Parmiter’s experience provides the board with a perspective on the day-to-day operations of Community Savings, and assists the board in assessing the trends and developments in the financial institutions industry on a local and national basis. Additionally, Mr. Parmiter has extensive ties to the communities that support our business generation.

 

Dominic Crock is a physical therapist who is the Director of Rehabilitation Services at Southeastern Ohio Regional Medical Center, a position he has held since December 2013. Prior to this position, from 2007 until December 2013, Mr. Crock was Coordinator of Speech and Audiology at Southeastern Ohio Regional Medical Center. Mr. Crock has overseen multiple outpatient clinics during his career. Mr. Crock’s knowledge of the market area provides valuable insight to the board.

 

Meetings and Committees of the Board of Directors

 

References throughout this section of the proxy statement with regard to board of directors’ meetings and committee meetings, refer to meetings of the board of directors of the Company and of the Bank.

 

We conduct business through meetings of our Board of Directors and its committees. During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2018, the board of directors met 12 times. No member of the Board or any committee thereof attended fewer than 75% of the aggregate of: (i) the total number of meetings of the Board of Directors (held during the period for which he or she has been a director); and (ii) the total number of meetings held by all committees of the board on which he or she served (during the periods that he or she served). The Board of Directors of Community Savings Bancorp has established standing committees, including a Compensation Committee, a Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee and an Audit Committee. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee and the Audit Committee each operate under a written charter, which governs its composition, responsibilities and operations. These charters may be found on our website located at www.mycommunitysavings.com.

 

Board Independence

 

The Board of Directors has determined that each of the Company’s directors and nominees, with the exception of Mr. Parmiter, is “independent” as defined in the listing standards of the Nasdaq Stock Market which the Company chooses to follow for purposes of such determination. Mr. Parmiter is not independent because he is an executive officer of the Company.

 

There were no transactions required to be reported under “Transactions with Certain Related Persons,” below that were considered in determining the independence of the Company’s directors.

 

 5 

 

  

Board Leadership Structure

 

To assure effective and independent oversight of management, the Board of Directors has separated the roles of Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board in recognition of the differences between these two roles in management of the Company. The Chief Executive Officer is responsible for setting the strategic direction for the Company and the day-to-day leadership and performance of the Company, while the Chairman of the Board provides guidance to the Chief Executive Officer, sets the agenda for Board meetings and presides over meetings of the full Board. The Chairman of the Board is an independent, non-management role.

 

Board’s Role in Risk Oversight

 

The Board’s role in the Company’s risk oversight process includes receiving regular reports from members of senior management on areas of material risk to the Company, including operational, financial, legal and regulatory, strategic and reputational risks. The full Board (or the appropriate committee in the case of risks that are reviewed and discussed at committee meetings) receives these reports from the appropriate “risk owner” within the organization to enable the Board or appropriate committee to understand the Company’s risk identification, risk management and risk mitigation strategies. When a committee receives the report, the Chairman of the relevant committee will report on the discussion to the full Board at the next Board meeting. This enables the Board and its committees to coordinate the risk oversight role, particularly with respect to risk interrelationships.

 

The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee

 

The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee consists of directors Michael Schott, who serves as chairman, Dominic Crock and Brian Shanahan, each of whom is considered “independent” as defined in the Nasdaq corporate governance listing standards, which the Company chooses to follow. The Board of Directors has adopted a written charter for the Committee. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee charter is available on our website at www.mycommunitysavings.com. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee met one time during fiscal 2018.

 

The functions of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee include the following:

 

·to lead the search for individuals qualified to become members of the Board and to select director nominees to be presented for stockholder approval;

 

·to review and monitor compliance with the requirements for board independence;

 

·to review the committee structure and make recommendations to the Board regarding committee membership; and

 

·to develop and recommend corporate governance guidelines to the Board of Directors for its approval.

 

The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee identifies nominees by first evaluating the current members of the Board of Directors willing to continue in service. Current members of the Board with skills and experience that are relevant to the Company’s business and who are willing to continue in service are first considered for re-nomination, balancing the value of continuity of service by existing members of the Board with that of obtaining a new perspective. If any member of the Board does not wish to continue in service, or if the Committee or the Board decides not to re-nominate a member for re-election, or if the size of the Board is increased, the Committee would solicit suggestions for director candidates from all Board members. In addition, the Committee is authorized by its charter to engage a third party to assist in the identification of director nominees. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee would seek to identify a candidate who at a minimum satisfies the following criteria:

 

 6 

 

  

·has personal and professional ethics and integrity;

 

·has had experiences and achievements that have given him or her the ability to exercise and develop good business judgment;

 

·is willing to devote the necessary time to the work of the Board and its committees, which includes being available for Board and committee meetings;

 

·is familiar with the communities in which the Company operates and/or is actively engaged in community activities;

 

·is involved in other activities or interests that do not create a conflict with his or her responsibilities to us and the Company’s stockholders; and

 

·has the capacity and desire to represent the balanced, best interests of the Company’s stockholders as a group, and not primarily a special interest group or constituency.

 

In addition, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee will also take into account whether a candidate satisfies the criteria for “independence” under the Nasdaq corporate governance listing standards and, if a nominee is sought for service on the Audit Committee, whether the candidate would satisfy the SEC’s independence standards applicable to members of the Company’s audit committee, and the financial and accounting expertise of a candidate, including whether an individual qualifies as an audit committee financial expert.

 

The Company does not maintain a specific diversity policy, but diversity is considered in the Company’s review of candidates. Diversity includes not only gender and ethnicity, but the various perspectives that come from having differing viewpoints, geographic and cultural backgrounds, and life experiences.

 

Procedures for the Recommendation of Director Nominees by Stockholders

 

The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee has adopted procedures for the submission of recommendations for director nominees by stockholders. Stockholders may submit the names of qualified candidates for director by writing to the Corporate Secretary, at 425 Main Street, Caldwell, Ohio 43724. To be timely, the submission of a candidate for director by a stockholder must be received by the Corporate Secretary not less than 180 days prior to the anniversary date of the proxy statement relating to the preceding year’s annual meeting of stockholders.

 

The submission must include the following information:

 

·a statement that the writer is a stockholder and is proposing a candidate for consideration by the Committee;

 

 7 

 

 

·the name and address of the stockholder as he or she appears on the Company’s books, and number of shares of the Company’s common stock that are owned beneficially by such stockholder (if the stockholder is not a holder of record, appropriate evidence of the stockholder’s ownership will be required);

 

·the name, address and contact information for the candidate, and the number of shares of the Company’s common stock that are owned by the candidate (if the candidate is not a holder of record, appropriate evidence of the stockholder’s ownership will be required);

 

·a statement of the candidate’s business and educational experience;

 

·such other information regarding the candidate as would be required to be included in the proxy statement pursuant to SEC Regulation 14A;

 

·a statement detailing any relationship between the candidate and us;

 

·a statement detailing any relationship between the candidate and any of the Company’s customers, suppliers or competitors;

 

·detailed information about any relationship or understanding between the proposing stockholder and the candidate; and

 

·a statement that the candidate is willing to be considered and willing to serve as a director if nominated and elected.

 

A nomination submitted by a stockholder for presentation by the stockholder at an annual meeting of stockholders must comply with the procedural and informational requirements described in “Advance Notice of Business to be Conducted at Annual Meeting.”

 

Stockholder Communications with the Board

 

Any of the Company’s stockholders who want to communicate with the Board of Directors or with any individual director can write to the Company’s Corporate Secretary, at 425 Main Street, Caldwell, Ohio 43724. The letter should indicate that the author is a stockholder and if shares are not held of record, should include appropriate evidence of stock ownership. Depending on the subject matter, management will:

 

·forward the communication to the director or directors to whom it is addressed;

 

·attempt to handle the inquiry directly, for example, where it is a request for information about us or it is a stock-related matter; or

 

·not forward the communication if it is primarily commercial in nature, relates to an improper or irrelevant topic, or is unduly hostile, threatening, illegal or otherwise inappropriate.

 

At each Board meeting, management shall present a summary of all communications received since the last meeting that were not previously forwarded and make those communications available to the directors.

 

 8 

 

  

Code of Ethics

 

The Company has adopted a Code of Ethics that is applicable to the Company’s principal executive officer, principal financial officer, principal accounting officer or controller, and persons performing similar functions. This Code is designed to deter wrongdoing and to promote honest and ethical conduct, the avoidance of conflicts of interest, full and accurate disclosure and compliance with all applicable laws, rules and regulations. There were no amendments made to or waivers from the Company’s Code of Ethics in fiscal 2018. The Code of Ethics is available on our website at www.mycommunitysavings.com. Additionally, persons interested in obtaining a copy of the Code of Ethics may do so by writing to the Company at: Community Savings Bancorp, Inc., 425 Main Street, Caldwell, Ohio 43724, Attention, Corporate Secretary.

 

Attendance at Annual Meetings of Stockholders

 

The Company does not have a policy regarding director attendance at annual meetings of stockholders, although directors are requested to attend these meetings absent unavoidable conflicts. All of our directors attended our annual meeting for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2017.

 

Compensation Committee

 

The members of the Compensation Committee are directors Michael Schott, who serves as chairman, Dominic Crock, Brian Shanahan and Scott Wright, each of whom is considered “independent” as defined in the Nasdaq corporate governance listings standards, which the Company chooses to follow. The committee is responsible for reviewing all compensation matters related to the Company’s employees. The Compensation Committee met one time during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2018. The Compensation Committee has adopted a written charter which is available on our website located at www.mycommunitysavings.com.

 

The Compensation Committee approves the compensation objectives for the Company and the Bank and establishes the compensation for the Chief Executive Officer and other executives. The Company’s President and Chief Executive Officer provides recommendations to the Compensation Committee on matters of compensation philosophy, plan design and the general guidelines for employee compensation. However, Mr. Parmiter does not vote on and is not present for any discussion of his own compensation. These recommendations are then considered by the Compensation Committee. The Compensation Committee reviews all compensation components for the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and other highly compensated executive officers’ compensation including base salary, annual incentive, long-term incentives and other perquisites. In addition to reviewing competitive market values, the committee also examines the total compensation mix, pay-for-performance relationship, and how all elements, in the aggregate, comprise the executive’s total compensation package. Decisions by the Compensation Committee with respect to the compensation of executive officers are approved by the full Board of Directors.

 

Audit Committee

 

The Company’s Audit Committee consists of directors Michael Schott, who serves as chairman, Dominic Crock, Brian Shanahan and Scott Wright, each of whom is “independent” under the Nasdaq corporate governance listing standards and SEC Rule 10A-3. The Audit Committee does not have an “audit committee financial expert” as defined under applicable SEC rules. The Board of Directors does not believe it is necessary to have such a person on the Audit Committee because each Audit Committee member has the ability to analyze and evaluate our financial statements as well as an understanding of the Audit Committee’s functions. In addition, each Audit Committee member has overseen and assessed the finances and financial reporting of his own business.

 

 9 

 

 

The Audit Committee reviews the contents of and conclusions in audit reports prepared by the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm, reviews and approves the annual engagement of the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm, the Company’s audit and compliance related policies, and reviews with management and the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm, the Company’s financial statements and internal controls. The Board of Directors has adopted a written charter for the Audit Committee, which may be found on our website located at www.mycommunitysavings.com. The Audit Committee met four times during fiscal year ended June 30, 2018.

As part of its ongoing activities, the Audit Committee has:

 

·Reviewed and discussed with management our audited consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2018;

 

·Discussed with the independent auditors the matters required to be discussed by Public Company Accounting Oversight Board Auditing Standard No. 16, Communications with Audit Committees; and

 

·Received the written disclosures and the letter from the independent auditor required by applicable requirements of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board regarding the independent auditor’s communications with the Audit Committee concerning independence, and discussed with the independent auditor the independent auditor’s independence.

 

Based on the review and discussions referred to above, the Audit Committee recommended to the Board of Directors that the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements be included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2018.

 

This report shall not be deemed incorporated by reference by any general statement incorporating by reference this Proxy Statement into any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, except to the extent that the Company specifically incorporates this information by reference, and shall not otherwise be deemed filed under such acts.

Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance

 

The Company’s common stock is registered pursuant to Section 12(g) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. The Company’s executive officers and directors and beneficial owners of greater than 10% of the Company’s common stock (“10% beneficial owners”) are required to file reports with the SEC disclosing beneficial ownership and changes in beneficial ownership of the Company’s common stock. SEC rules require disclosure in the Company’s Proxy Statement and Annual Report on Form 10-K of the failure of an executive officer, director or 10% beneficial owner to file such forms on a timely basis. Based solely on a review of the copies of the Forms 3, 4 and 5 and amendments that we received with respect to transactions during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2018, we believe that all such forms were filed on a timely basis.

Benefit Plans and Agreements

 

Employment Agreement. Community Savings has entered into an employment agreement with Mr. Alvin B. Parmiter, our President and Chief Executive Officer, under which Community Savings Bancorp acts as a guarantor. Our continued success depends to a significant degree on the skills and competence of Mr. Parmiter and the employment agreement is intended to ensure that we maintain a stable management base.

 

The employment agreement has an initial term of three years. Commencing as of January 1, 2018, and as of each subsequent January 1 thereafter, the board of directors may renew the agreement for an additional year so that the remaining term will again become three years. The current term of the employment agreement expires January 1, 2021. The current base salary for Mr. Parmiter is $123,188. In addition to base salary, the agreement provides for, among other things, participation in bonus programs and other benefit plans and arrangements applicable to executive and other employees. Additionally, pursuant to the employment agreement we provide Mr. Parmiter with certain expenses incurred in obtaining his Masters of Business Administration in an amount not to exceed $30,000. We may terminate Mr. Parmiter’s employment for cause at any time, in which event he would have no right to receive compensation or other benefits for any period after his termination of employment.

 

Certain events resulting in Mr. Parmiter’s termination or resignation entitle him to payments of severance benefits following the termination of his employment. In the event of Mr. Parmiter’s involuntary termination for reasons other than for cause, disability or retirement, or in the event he resigns during the term of the agreement following (a) the failure to appoint him to the executive position set forth in the agreement or the failure to re-nominate him as a member of the boards of directors, (b) a material change in his function, duties or responsibilities resulting in a reduction of the responsibility, scope, or importance of his position, (c) a relocation of his office by more than 30 miles, (d) a material reduction in the benefits or perquisites paid to him unless the reduction is part of a reduction that is generally applicable to employees of Community Savings, (e) a liquidation or dissolution of Community Savings or Community Savings Bancorp or (f) a material breach of the employment agreement by Community Savings, then Mr. Parmiter would become entitled to a severance payment in the form of a cash lump sum equal to the base salary and bonuses he would have earned for the remaining unexpired term of the employment agreement. In addition, Mr. Parmiter would become entitled, at no expense to him, to the continuation of life insurance and non-taxable medical and dental coverage for the remaining unexpired term of the employment agreement, or if the coverage is not permitted by applicable law or if providing the benefits would subject Community Savings to penalties, he will receive a cash lump sum payment equal to the value of the benefits.

 

 11 

 

  

In the event of a change in control of Community Savings or Community Savings Bancorp followed by Mr. Parmiter’s involuntary termination other than for cause, disability or retirement, or upon his resignation for one of the reasons set forth above thereafter, he would become entitled to a severance payment in the form of a cash lump sum equal to three times his “base amount,” as that term is defined for purposes of Internal Revenue Code Section 280G (i.e., the average annual taxable income paid to him for the five taxable years preceding the taxable year in which the change in control occurs). In addition, Mr. Parmiter would become entitled, at no expense to him, to the continuation of life insurance and non-taxable medical and dental coverage for thirty-six (36) months following his termination of employment, or if the coverage is not permitted by applicable law or if providing the benefits would subject Community Savings to penalties, he will receive a cash lump sum payment equal to the value of the benefits.

 

Under the employment agreement, if Mr. Parmiter becomes disabled within the meaning of the term under Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code and as set forth in the employment agreement, he will receive benefits under any short-term or long-term disability plans maintained by Community Savings.

 

Under the employment agreement, if Mr. Parmiter retires following his attainment of age 65, he will receive benefits under any applicable retirement or other plans maintained by Community Savings.

 

In the event of Mr. Parmiter’s death, his estate or beneficiaries will be paid his base salary through the end of the month in which his death occurs and his dependents will be entitled to continued non-taxable medical, dental and other insurance for one year following his death.

 

Upon termination of Mr. Parmiter’s employment (other than following a change in control), he will be subject to certain restrictions on his ability to compete or to solicit business or employees of Community Savings and Community Savings Bancorp for a period of one year following his termination of employment.

 

2018 Equity Incentive Plan.  On February 19, 2018, the Company’s stockholders approved the 2018 Equity Incentive Plan (the “Equity Plan”) which provides for the grant of stock-based awards to the directors and employees of the Company and Community Savings.  The Equity Plan authorizes the issuance or delivery of up to 61,780 shares of the Company’s common stock pursuant to grants of restricted stock awards, restricted stock unit awards, incentive stock options and non-qualified stock options. Of this number, the maximum number of shares of Company common stock that may be issued under the 2018 Equity Incentive Plan pursuant to the exercise of stock options is 44,129 shares, and the maximum number of shares of Company common stock that may be issued as restricted stock awards or restricted stock units is 17,651 shares. To date, there have been no grants made under the Equity Plan.

 

401(k) Plan. Community Savings sponsors the Community Savings 401(k) Plan (“401(k) Plan”). Employees who are age 21 or older and who have completed one year of service are eligible to participate in the 401(k) Plan. Under the 401(k) Plan, a participant may elect to defer, on a pre-tax basis, up to 100% of his or her salary in any plan year, subject to limits imposed by the Internal Revenue Code. In addition to salary deferral contributions, Community Savings may make matching contributions; currently equal to 100% of salary deferral contributions on the first 3% and 50% on the next 3% of the participant’s compensation. A participant is always 100% vested in his or her salary deferral contributions and the employer matching contributions. Generally, unless the participant elects otherwise, the participant’s account balance will be distributed upon request following his or her termination of employment with Community Savings. During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2018, Community Savings recognized $12,000 as a 401(k) Plan expense.

Defined Benefit Pension Plan. Community Savings participates in a multiple-employer defined benefit pension plan (the “Pension Plan”). During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2018, Community Savings recognized $866,000 as a Pension Plan expense. This expense resulted primarily from the payment of $800,000 to be applied towards the funding shortfall. Community Savings intends to withdraw as a participant from the Pension Plan. The administrator of the Pension Plan has estimated that as of March 2016, the expense associated with withdrawal from the Pension Plan would be approximately $1.6 million. This estimate is still relied upon at this date. However, the actual cost could be significantly higher since the actual cost is primarily dependent on the value of the Pension Plan’s assets and interest rates at the time of termination. Efforts to garner annuity proposals from various insurers continues. Pentegra is contractually obligated to solicit these proposals and is working more aggressively to bring this process to a close.

 

Employee Stock Ownership Plan. Community Savings sponsors an employee stock ownership plan for eligible employees. Eligible employees who have attained age 21 and have completed one year of service are eligible to participate in the plan.

 

The employee stock ownership plan funded its stock purchase in the conversion with a loan from Community Savings Bancorp equal to the aggregate purchase price of the common stock. The loan will be repaid principally through Community Savings’ contributions to the employee stock ownership plan and dividends payable on common stock held by the employee stock ownership plan over the anticipated 20-year term of the loan.

 

The trustee releases unallocated shares from the suspense account on a pro-rata basis as the loan is repaid. Release shares are allocated among participants on the basis of each participant’s proportional share of compensation relative to all participants. A participant will become vested in his or her account balance at a rate of 20% per year over a 5-year period. Participants who were employed by Community Savings immediately prior to the offering received credit for vesting purposes for years of service prior to adoption of the employee stock ownership plan. Generally, participants will receive distributions from the employee stock ownership plan upon separation from service. The employee stock ownership plan reallocates any unvested shares forfeited upon termination of employment among the remaining participants.

Director Compensation

 

The following table sets forth for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2018, certain information as to the total remuneration we paid to our directors other than Alvin B. Parmiter. Information with respect to director compensation paid to Mr. Parmiter is included above in “— Executive Officer Compensation — Summary Compensation Table.”

Scott Wright   9,600    9,600 

For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2018, each non-employee director of Community Savings was paid a monthly fee of $800. For fiscal 2019, monthly board fees paid to non-employee directors are $800. Directors do not receive any additional committee or chairman fees.

 

Each person who serves as a director of Community Savings Bancorp also serves as a director of Community Savings and earns director and committee fees only in his or her capacity as a board or committee member of Community Savings.

 

Transactions with Certain Related Persons

 

In the ordinary course of business, Community Savings 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 to other borrowers not related to Community Savings. Management believes that these loans neither involve more than the normal risk of collectibility nor present other unfavorable features.

 

The Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 generally prohibits us from making loans to the Company’s executive officers and directors, but it contains a specific exemption from such prohibition for loans made by Community Savings to the Company’s executive officers and directors in compliance with federal banking regulations. At June 30, 2018, all of Community Savings’ loans to directors and executive officers were made in the ordinary course of business, were made on substantially the same terms, including interest rates and collateral, as those prevailing at the time for comparable loans to persons not related to Community Savings, and did not involve more than the normal risk of collectibility or present other unfavorable features.

 

PROPOSAL II – RATIFICATION OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

 

The Audit Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors has approved the engagement of SR Snodgrass (“Snodgrass”) to serve as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2019. Auditors are not deemed independent unless the Audit Committee has approved the engagement, or alternatively, the engagement is entered into pursuant to detailed pre-approval policies and procedures established by the Audit Committee which sets forth each specific service to be performed by the auditor.

At the Annual Meeting, stockholders will consider and vote on the ratification of the engagement of Snodgrass for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2019. A representative of Snodgrass is not expected to attend the Annual Meeting.

 

Changes In and Disagreements with Accountants on Accounting and Financial Disclosures

 

As previously disclosed, on October 15, 2018, the Audit Committee of the board of directors approved the dismissal of Suttle as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm.

 

The audit reports of Suttle on the consolidated financial statements of the Company as of and for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2018 and 2017 did not contain an adverse opinion or a disclaimer of opinion, and were not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles.

 

During the fiscal years ended June 30, 2018 and 2017 and the subsequent interim period from July 1, 2018 through October 15, 2018, there were no: (1) disagreements with Suttle on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedures, which disagreements, if not resolved to Suttle’s satisfaction, would have caused Suttle to make reference in connection with its opinion to the subject matter of the disagreement, or (2) reportable events under Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K.

 

On October 16, 2018, the Company appointed SR Snodgrass (“Snodgrass”) as the Company’s new independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2019. The appointment was approved by the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company. During the fiscal years ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, and the subsequent interim period prior to the engagement of Snodgrass, the Registrant did not consult with Snodgrass regarding any of the matters or events set forth in Item 304(a)(2)(i) and (ii) of Regulation S-K.

 

Set forth below is certain information concerning aggregate fees billed by Suttle for professional services rendered during fiscal years 2018 and 2017.

 

Audit Fees. The aggregate fees for professional services rendered by Suttle for the audit of the Company’s annual financial statements for fiscal 2018 and 2017 were $123,500 and $117,500, respectively. The audit fees for fiscal years 2018 and 2017 include fees incurred for the review of the Company’s Form 10-Qs.

 

Audit-Related Fees. Fees for professional services rendered by Suttle that were reasonably related to the performance of the audits described above were $0 and $0 for fiscal 2018 and 2017, respectively.

 

Tax Fees. The aggregate fees for professional services by Suttle for tax services were $8,250 and $4,750 for fiscal 2018 and 2017, respectively.

 

All Other Fees. There were no other fees for fiscal year 2018 and 2017.

Policy on Audit Committee Pre-Approval of Audit and Non-Audit Services of Independent Auditor

 

The Audit Committee’s policy is to pre-approve all audit and non-audit services provided by independent auditors. These services may include audit services, audit-related services, tax services and other services. Pre-approval is generally provided for up to one year and any pre-approval is detailed as to particular service or category of services and is generally subject to a specific budget. The independent auditors and management are required to periodically report to the full Audit Committee regarding the extent of services provided by the independent auditors in accordance with this pre-approval, and the fees for the services performed to date. The Audit Committee pre-approved 100% of the audit, audit-related, and tax fees described above.

 

The Audit Committee has considered whether the provision of non-audit services by Suttle, relating primarily to tax services, is compatible with maintaining the independence of Suttle. The Audit Committee concluded that performing such services would not affect the independence of Suttle in performing its function as auditor of the Company.

 

In order to ratify the selection of SR Snodgrass as the independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2019, the proposal must receive a majority of the votes cast, either in person or by proxy, in favor of such ratification. The Board of Directors recommends a vote “FOR” the ratification of SR Snodgrass as independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2019.

 

STOCKHOLDER PROPOSALS

In the case of nominations to the Board of Directors, certain information regarding the nominee must be provided. Nothing in this paragraph shall be deemed to require the Company to include in the proxy statement and proxy relating to an annual meeting any stockholder proposal that does not meet all of the requirements for inclusion established by the SEC in effect at the time such proposal is received.

 

 16 

 

  

The fiscal 2019 annual meeting of stockholders is expected to be held on November 18, 2019. Accordingly, for the 2019 annual meeting of stockholders, the notice would have to be received between June 24, 2019 and not later than July 24, 2019.

 

OTHER MATTERS

 

The Board of Directors is not aware of any business to come before the Annual Meeting other than the matters described above in this Proxy Statement. However, if any matters should properly come before the Annual Meeting, it is intended that holders of the proxies will act as directed by a majority of the Board of Directors, except for matters related to the conduct of the Annual Meeting, as to which they shall act in accordance with their best judgment.
