Introduction.
     This Amendment No. 10 to Schedule 13D (this “Amendment”) relating to shares of common stock, par value $1.00 per share, of LNB Bancorp, Inc. (“LNB”), an Ohio corporation, is filed by Richard M. Osborne and the Richard M. Osborne Trust (the “Osborne Trust”), an Ohio trust.
     Pursuant to Rule 13d-1(k), AMG Investments, LLC, an Ohio limited liability company, Richard M. Osborne, the Osborne Trust, CCAG Limited Partnership, an Ohio limited partnership, and the Steven A. Calabrese Profit Sharing Trust, an Ohio trust (together, the “Group”), constitute a group for purposes of Schedule 13D. Mr. Osborne and Mr. Calabrese are the managing members of AMG.
Item 4. Purpose of Transaction.
     Item 4 is amended and supplemented as follows:
     On December 15, 2008, the Osborne Trust requested a shareholder list from LNB for the purpose of communicating with other shareholders regarding the affairs of LNB. This request is attached as Exhibit 7.1.
     As explained in the Group’s previous amendments to Schedule 13D filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, Mr. Osborne, Mr. Calabrese and AMG designated Daniel G. Merkel and Thomas P. Perciak to the board of directors of LNB pursuant to the terms of the settlement agreement between LNB and Mr. Osborne, Mr. Calabrese and AMG dated April 18, 2008. On September 30, 2008, Mr. Osborne, Mr. Calabrese and AMG, in a letter to LNB filed as Exhibit 7.1 to the Group’s Amendment No. 9 to Schedule 13D dated September 30, 2008, irrevocably waived their right to designate nominees to LNB’s board pursuant to the settlement agreement and confirmed that Mr. Merkel and Mr. Perciak were no longer designees of AMG, Mr. Osborne and Mr. Calabrese. Subsequently, Mr. Osborne was informed that Mr. Merkel and Mr. Perciak offered to resign from LNB’s board, which resignations were not accepted by LNB due to the positive contributions of Mr. Merkel and Mr. Perciak to LNB.
     As a result of the waiver of their right to designate nominees and Mr. Merkel and Mr. Perciak’s proffered (albeit not accepted) resignations, Mr. Osborne believes that the “standstill” restrictions contained in the settlement agreement have terminated pursuant to the terms of the agreement.
Item 7. Material to be Filed as Exhibits.
