Quorum

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. Abstentions and broker non-votes will be counted for purposes of determining that a quorum is present but will not count towards whether the directors are elected or the other matters are approved.

Limitations on Voting

In accordance with the provisions of our 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. Our 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 us to enable the Board of Directors to implement and apply the Limit.

Method of Counting Votes
As to the election of directors, the proxy card being provided by the Board of Directors enables a stockholder to vote FOR each nominee proposed by the Board or to WITHHOLD AUTHORITY for any nominee. 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 highest number of votes cast are elected, up to the maximum number of directors to be elected at the Annual Meeting.
As to the approval of the amendment to the Westbury Bancorp, Inc. 2014 Equity Incentive Plan (the “Plan”) to increase the number of shares of our common stock available to be issued in the form of awards thereunder, a stockholder may (i) vote FOR the approval of the amendment to the Plan; (ii) vote AGAINST the approval of the amendment to the Plan; or (iii) ABSTAIN from voting on the approval of the amendement to the Plan. Approval of the amendment to the Plan requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast on the matter at the Annual Meeting. Shares as to which the “ABSTAIN” box has been selected on the proxy card will be treated as represented at the Annual Meeting and entitled to be voted, and will have the same effect as a vote against approval of the amendment to the Plan. Broker non-votes are not entitled to vote on the matter and, accordingly, will have no effect on the outcome of the vote.
As to the ratification of the appointment of CliftonLarsonAllen LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm, a stockholder may: (i) vote FOR the ratification; (ii) vote AGAINST the ratification; or (iii) ABSTAIN from voting on such ratification. The affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast on the matter at the Annual Meeting, without regard to broker non-votes or shares as to which “ABSTAIN” has been selected, is required for the ratification of CliftonLarsonAllen LLP as the independent registered public accounting firm for the year ending September 30, 2017.
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.
Participants in the ESOP and 401(k) Plan and Holders of Non-Vested Restricted Stock
Participants in the Westbury Bank ESOP and persons who hold Westbury Bancorp, Inc. common stock through the Westbury Bank 401(k) Profit Sharing Plan (the “401(k) Plan”) will receive a vote authorization form for each of the plans that reflect all shares the participant may direct the trustees to vote on his or her 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 Company common stock allocated to his or her account at the Annual Meeting of Stockholders. The ESOP trustee will vote all unallocated shares of Company common stock held by the ESOP and 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 provide voting instructions for all shares credited to his or her 401(k) Plan account and held in the Westbury Bancorp, Inc. Stock Fund. Shares for which no voting instructions are given or for which instructions were not timely received will be voted in the same proportion as shares for which voting instructions were received. The deadline for returning your ESOP Vote Authorization Form or 401(K) Plan Vote Authorization Form is Wednesday, February 8, 2017 at 5:00 p.m. local time. Telephonic and internet voting cutoff is Wednesday, February 8, 2017 at 5:00 p.m. local time.
Pursuant to the terms of the Westbury Bancorp, Inc. 2014 Equity Incentive Plan, a participant is entitled to vote the non-vested restricted shares of Westbury Bancorp, Inc. common stock awarded to him or her.
PROPOSAL I—ELECTION OF DIRECTORS

Board and Committee Independence

The Board of Directors has determined that each of our directors, with the exception of Executive Chairman Raymond F. Lipman and our President and Chief Executive Officer Greg J. Remus, is “independent” as defined in the listing standards of the Nasdaq Stock Market. Mr. Lipman and Mr. Remus are not independent because they serve as executive officers of the Company. Each director who serves on the Audit Committee, Compensation Committee and Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee is “independent” as defined in the listing standards of the Nasdaq Stock Market and applicable SEC regulations for purposes of service on each of such committees.
In determining the independence of the other directors, the Board of Directors considered the following facts, which are not required to be reported under “Transactions with Certain Related Persons.” During the fiscal year ended September 30, 2016, Westbury Bank paid $23,610 in fees for various printing services to Brandt Printing, Inc., a printing company owned by Director Russell Brandt. During the fiscal year ended September 30, 2016, Westbury Bank paid $55,654 for construction services to VJS Construction Services Inc., a general contractor of which Director David Jorgensen is an owner.
The Board of Directors determined that the payment of market prices for printing services and the payment of market rates for construction services does not interfere with Mr. Brandt’s or Mr. Jorgensen's exercise of independent judgment in carrying out each of their responsibilities as a director, respectively.
Board Leadership Structure and Risk Oversight
Our Board of Directors is chaired by Raymond F. Lipman, our former President and Chief Executive Officer. We believe our governance structure is appropriate given the size, limited market area and relatively non-complex operating philosophy of our organization. In addition, we have never engaged in a transaction with any affiliate of Mr. Lipman. As former President and Chief Executive Officer of Westbury Bank, and having been employed by Westbury Bank in various roles for his entire 40 year career, Mr. Lipman is well positioned to understand the challenges faced by our organization. As a result, he can set our strategic direction and also set the agenda of the Board of Directors. We understand the risk that an inside Chairman could theoretically manage the Board of Directors’ agenda to limit the consideration of important issues relating to management.
The Board of Directors has appointed William D. Gehl, who is an independent director, to serve as Vice Chairman of the Board. The Vice Chairman assists the Chairman of the Board in fulfilling his duties, including setting our strategic direction, setting the agenda of the Board of Directors and serving as chair of Board of Directors' meetings in the Chairman’s absence. The Vice Chairman is also responsible for working with the Chairman and the corporate secretary to ensure that the Board of Directors has adequate resources and information to support its activities, educating the Board of Directors as to its responsibilities, chairing periodic meetings of the independent directors and serving as a liaison between the Board of Directors and management and among individual directors. Accordingly, the Vice Chairman will serve as the lead independent director and will perform the duties described above. The Board of Directors expects to rotate the position of Vice Chairman among independent directors on a periodic basis.
The Board of Directors is actively involved in oversight of risks that could affect Westbury Bancorp, Inc. This oversight is conducted in part through committees of the Board of Directors, but the full Board of Directors has retained responsibility for general oversight of risks. The Board of Directors satisfies this responsibility through full reports by each committee regarding its considerations and actions, regular reports directly from officers responsible for oversight of particular risks within Westbury Bancorp, Inc. as well as through internal and external audits. Risks relating to the direct operations of Westbury Bank are further overseen by the Board of Directors of Westbury Bank, who are the same individuals who serve on the Board of Directors of Westbury Bancorp, Inc. The Board of Directors of Westbury Bank also has additional committees that conduct risk oversight separate from Westbury Bancorp, Inc. Further, the Board of Directors oversees risks through the establishment of policies and procedures that are designed to guide daily operations in a manner consistent with applicable laws, regulations and risks acceptable to the organization.

Code of Ethics

Attendance at Annual Meetings of Stockholders
Westbury Bancorp, Inc. does not have a written policy regarding director attendance at annual meetings of stockholders, although directors are expected to attend these meetings absent unavoidable scheduling conflicts. All of our directors who were serving at the time of the 2016 annual meeting of stockholders attended that meeting.
Communications with the Board of Directors
Any stockholder who wishes to contact our Board of Directors or an individual director may do so by writing to: Westbury Bancorp, Inc., 200 South Main Street, West Bend, Wisconsin 53095, Attention: Board of Directors. The letter should indicate that the sender is a stockholder and if shares are not held of record, should include appropriate evidence of stock ownership. Communications are reviewed by the Company's Secretary and are then distributed to the Board of Directors or the individual director, as appropriate, depending on the facts and circumstances outlined in the communications received. The Company's Secretary may attempt to handle an inquiry directly or forward a communication for response by the director or directors to whom it is addressed. The Company's Secretary has the authority not to forward a 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 of Directors meeting, the Company's Secretary shall present a summary of all communications received since the last meeting that were not forwarded and make those communications available to the Directors on request.
Meetings and Committees of the Board of Directors
The business of Westbury Bancorp, Inc. is conducted at regular and special meetings of the Board of Directors and its committees. In addition, the “independent” members of the Board of Directors (as defined in the listing standards of the NASDAQ Stock Market) meet in executive sessions, and such directors did so at least two times in accordance with the


9




requirements of the NASDAQ Stock Market during fiscal 2016. The standing committees of the Board of Directors of Westbury Bancorp, Inc. are the Audit Committee, the Compensation Committee and the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee.
The Board of Directors held 10 regular meetings during the year ended September 30, 2016. No member of the Board of Directors 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 has been a director); and (ii) the total number of meetings held by all committees on which he or she served (during the periods that he or she served).
Audit Committee. As of the date of this Proxy Statement, the Audit Committee is comprised of Directors Gehl, Gumm, Rohr-Dralle and Wendorff, each of whom is “independent” in accordance with applicable SEC rules and Nasdaq listing standards. Mr. Mohr, a former director of the Company who resigned effective December 5, 2016, served on the Audit Committee during fiscal 2016. Mr. Mohr was also "independent" in accordance with applicable SEC rules and NASDAQ listing standards. Ms. Rohr-Dralle serves as chair of the audit committee. The Audit Committee also serves as the audit committee of the board of directors of Westbury Bank. The Board of Directors has determined that Ms. Rohr-Dralle qualifies as an “audit committee financial expert” as defined under applicable SEC rules because Mr. Rohr-Dralle is a certified public accountant in the State of Wisconsin and has nearly 40 years of accounting and financial reporting experience, some of which was with another public reporting company. In addition, each Audit Committee member (or former member during fiscal 2016) has or had 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 various businesses that they own or with which they have been employed.
Our Board of Directors has adopted a written charter for the Audit Committee, which is available on our Internet website at www.westburybankwi.com. As more fully described in the Audit Committee Charter, the Audit Committee reviews the financial records and affairs of Westbury Bancorp, Inc. and monitors adherence in accounting and financial reporting to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The Audit Committee met five times during the year ended September 30, 2016.
The Audit Committee has the direct authority and responsibility to select, evaluate and, where appropriate, replace the independent registered public accounting firm, and is an "audit committee" for purposes of Section 3(a)(58)(A) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.
Audit Committee Report
In accordance with its written charter adopted by the Board of Directors, the Audit Committee has oversight responsibility for the quality and integrity of the financial reporting practices of the Company. While the Audit Committee has oversight responsibility, the primary responsibility for the Company's financial reporting, disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting and related internal controls and procedures rests with management, and the Company's independent registered public accounting firm is responsible for auditing the Company's financial statements. In discharging its oversight responsibility as to the audit process, the Audit Committee has issued a report that states as follows:
We have reviewed and discussed with management and our independent registered public accounting firm our audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended September 30, 2016;
We have discussed with the independent registered public accounting firm the matters required to be discussed by Auditing Standard No. 16 (Communications with Audit Committees), as adopted by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board; and
We have received the written disclosures and the letter from the independent registered public accounting firm required by PCAOB Rule 3526, “Communication with Audit Committees Concerning Independence,” and have discussed with the independent registered public accounting firm, without management present, their independence.
Based on the review and discussions referred to above, the Audit Committee recommended to the Board of Directors that the audited consolidated financial statements be included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2016 for filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

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 Westbury Bancorp, Inc. specifically incorporates this information by reference, and shall not otherwise be deemed filed under such Acts.
This report has been provided by the Audit Committee:
Rondi Rohr-Dralle, Chair
William D. Gehl
Andrew J. Gumm
Terry Wendorff

Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee is comprised of Directors Gehl, Gumm, Rohr-Dralle and Wendorff, each of whom is independent in accordance with applicable SEC rules and Nasdaq listing standards. Mr. Gumm serves as chair of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee operates under a written charter which is available on our Internet website at www.westburybankwi.com. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee met four times during the year ended September 30, 2016.
The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee does not have a formal policy or specific guidelines regarding diversity among board members. However, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee seeks members who represent a mix of backgrounds that will reflect the diversity of our stockholders, employees, and customers, and experiences that will enhance the quality of the Board of Directors’ deliberations and decisions. As the holding company for a community bank, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee also seeks directors who can continue to strengthen Westbury Bank’s position in its community and can assist Westbury Bank with business development through business and other community contacts. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee considers the following criteria in evaluating and selecting candidates for nomination to our Board of Directors and its committees:
the extent to which the candidate would contribute to the range of talent, skill and expertise appropriate for the Board of Directors;
the candidate’s relevant financial, regulatory and business experience and skills, including knowledge of the banking and financial services industries, familiarity with the operations of public companies and the ability to read and understand financial statements;
the candidate’s familiarity with the Westbury Bancorp, Inc.’s market areas, participation in local business, civic, or charitable organizations, and contacts with and knowledge of local businesses;
the candidate’s personal and professional integrity, honesty and reputation;
the candidate’s ability to represent the best long-term interests of Westbury Bancorp, Inc. and its stockholders, including potential for conflicts of interest with the candidate’s other endeavors;
the candidate’s ability to devote sufficient time and energy to perform his or her duties, including the ability to attend meetings;
whether or not the candidate would be independent under applicable SEC rules and Nasdaq listing standards for purposes of service on the Board of Directors or on any particular committee; and
any other factors that the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee deems relevant to a candidate’s nomination, including the extent to which the candidate helps the Board of Directors reflect the diversity of Westbury Bancorp, Inc.’s stockholders, employees, customers and communities, the current composition and size of the Board of Directors, the balance of management and independent directors.
The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee identifies nominees by first evaluating the current members of the Board of Directors willing to continue in service, including the current members’ board and committee meeting


11




attendance and performance, length of board service, experience and contributions, and independence. Current members of the Board of Directors with skills and experience that are relevant to Westbury Bancorp, Inc.’s business and who are willing to continue in service are 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 there is a vacancy on the Board of Directors because any member of the Board of Directors does not wish to continue in service or if the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee decides not to re-nominate a member for re-election, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee would determine the desired skills and experience of a new nominee (including a review of the skills set forth above), may solicit suggestions for director candidates from all board members and may engage in other search activities.
The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee considered several candidates for appointment to the Board of Directors during fiscal 2016. Based upon the considerations described above, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee nominated and the Board of Directors appointed Mr. Jorgensen as a director on July 25, 2016. Mr. Jorgensen was recommended to the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee by Mr. Remus, our President and Chief Executive Officer and one of our directors.
In accordance with our Bylaws, a person is not eligible for election or appointment to the Board of Directors: (a) if a financial or securities regulatory agency has, within the ten years preceding such person’s election or appointment, issued a cease and desist, consent or other formal order, other than a civil money penalty, against such person, which order is subject to public disclosure by such agency; (b) if such person has been convicted of a crime involving dishonesty or breach of trust which is punishable by imprisonment for a term exceeding one year under state or federal law; (c) if such person is currently charged in any information, indictment, or other complaint with the commission of or participation in such a crime; or (d) other than the initial directors appointed in connection with the formation of Westbury Bancorp, Inc., if such person did not, at the time of his first election or appointment to the Board of Directors, maintain his principal residence within ten miles of an office of Westbury Bancorp, Inc. or any subsidiary thereof for a period of at least one year prior to the date of his purported election or appointment to the Board of Directors. No person may serve on the Board of Directors if such person (a) is at the same time, a director, officer, employee or 10% or more stockholder of a bank, savings institution, credit union, mortgage banking company, consumer loan company or similar organization, other than a subsidiary of the Company, that engages in business activities or solicits customers, whether through a physical presence or electronically, in the same market area as the Company or any of its subsidiaries, (b) does not agree in writing to comply with all of the Company's policies applicable to directors including but not limited to its confidentiality policy, and confirm in writing his qualifications hereunder, (c) is a party to any agreement or understanding with a party other than Westbury Bancorp, Inc. or a subsidiary that (x) provides him with material benefits which are tied to or contingent on the Company entering into a merger, sale of control or similar transaction in which it is not the surviving institution, (y) materially limits his voting discretion with respect to the fundamental strategic direction of Westbury Bancorp, Inc., or (z) materially impairs his ability to discharge his fiduciary duties with respect to the fundamental strategic direction of Westbury Bancorp, Inc., or (d) has lost more than one election for service as a director of Westbury Bancorp, Inc. No person may serve on the Board of Directors who is the nominee or representative, as those terms are defined in the regulations of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, 12 C.F.R §212.2(n), of a company the directors, partners, trustees or 10% stockholders of which would not be eligible for election or appointment to the Board of Directors under the foregoing restrictions. The Board of Directors shall have the power to construe and apply the foregoing provisions and to make all determinations necessary or desirable to implement such provisions. In addition, no person shall be eligible for election, reelection, appointment or reappointment to the Board of Directors if, at the time of such election, reelection, appointment or reappointment, such person shall have attained the age of 70, but no person shall be prohibited from serving the entirety of any term to which he was elected, regardless of whether such director attains the age of 70 during that term.
During the year ended September 30, 2016 we did not pay a fee to any third party to identify or evaluate or assist in identifying or evaluating potential nominees for director.
The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee may consider qualified candidates for director suggested by our stockholders. Stockholders can suggest qualified candidates for director by writing to our Secretary at 200 South Main Street, West Bend, Wisconsin 53095. The Board of Directors has adopted a procedure by which stockholders may recommend nominees to the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee. Stockholders who wish to recommend a nominee must write to the Company’s Secretary and such communication must include:
A statement that the writer is a stockholder and is proposing a candidate to the Board of Directors for consideration by the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee;



12




The name and address of the stockholder as they appear on the Company’s records, and of the beneficial owner, if any, on whose behalf the nomination is made;

The class or series and number of shares of the Company’s capital stock that are owned beneficially or of record by such stockholder and such beneficial owner;

A description of all arrangements or understandings between such stockholder and each proposed nominee and any other person or persons (including their names) pursuant to which the nomination(s) are to be made by such stockholder;

A representation that such stockholder intends to appear in person or by proxy at the meeting to nominate the nominee named in the stockholder’s notice;

The name, age, personal and business address of the candidate, the principal occupation or employment of the candidate;

The candidate’s written consent to serve as a director;

A statement of the candidate’s business and educational experience and all other information relating to such person that would indicate such person’s qualification to serve on the Company’s Board of Directors;

An affidavit that the candidate would not be disqualified under applicable provisions of the Bylaws of Westbury Bancorp, Inc.; and

Such other information regarding the candidate or the stockholder as would be required to be included in the Company’s proxy statement pursuant to SEC Regulation 14A.

To be timely, the submission of a candidate for Director by a stockholder must be received by the Secretary at least 120 days prior to the anniversary date of the proxy statement relating to the preceding year’s annual meeting of stockholders. If (i) less than 90 days’ prior public disclosure of the date of the meeting is given to stockholders and (ii) the date of the annual meeting is advanced more than 30 days prior to or delayed more than 30 days after the anniversary of the preceding year’s annual meeting, a stockholder’s submission of a candidate shall be timely if delivered or mailed to and received by the Secretary of Westbury Bancorp, Inc. no later than the 10 th day following the day on which public disclosure (by press release issued through a nationally recognized news service, a document filed with the SEC, or on a website maintained by Westbury Bancorp, Inc.) of the date of the annual meeting is first made.
Submissions that are received and that satisfy the above requirements are forwarded to the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee for further review and consideration, using the same criteria to evaluate the candidate as it uses for evaluating other candidates that it considers.

It is important to distinguish between the recommendations of nominees by stockholders pursuant to this policy from a nomination (whether by proxy solicitation or in person at a meeting) by a stockholder. Stockholders have certain rights under applicable law with respect to nominations, and any such nominations must comply with applicable law and provisions of the Bylaws of Westbury Bancorp, Inc. See “Stockholder Proposals and Nominations.”
Compensation Committee. The Compensation Committee is comprised of Directors Gehl, Gumm, Rohr-Dralle and Wendorff, each of whom is independent in accordance with applicable SEC rules and Nasdaq listing standards. Mr. Gehl serves as chair of the Compensation Committee. No member of the Compensation Committee is a current or former officer or employee of Westbury Bancorp, Inc. or Westbury Bank. The Compensation Committee also serves as the compensation committee of the board of directors of Westbury Bank. The Compensation Committee met three times during the year ended September 30, 2016.

The Compensation Committee is responsible for establishing the compensation philosophy, developing compensation guidelines, establishing (or recommending to the entire Board of Directors) the compensation of the Chief Executive Officer and the other senior executive officers. No executive officer who is also a director participates with respect to decisions on his compensation. The Compensation Committee also administers our stock-based incentive compensation plan. During the fiscal year ended September 30, 2016, we did not pay a fee to any third party to assist in devising or modifying any compensation plans.


13




The Compensation Committee operates under a written charter which is available on our Internet website at www.westburybankwi.com. This charter sets forth the responsibilities of the Compensation Committee and reflects the Compensation Committee’s commitment to create a compensation structure that not only compensates senior management but also aligns the interests of senior management with those of our stockholders.
Our goal is to determine appropriate compensation levels that will enable us to meet the following objectives:
to attract, retain and motivate an experienced, competent executive management team;
to reward the executive management team for the enhancement of stockholder value based on our annual earnings performance and the market price of our stock;
to provide compensation rewards that are adequately balanced between short-term and long-term performance goals;
to encourage ownership of our common stock through stock‑based compensation to all levels of management; and
to maintain compensation levels that are competitive with other financial institutions, particularly those in our peer group based on asset size and market area.
The Compensation Committee considers a number of factors in their decisions regarding executive compensation, including, but not limited to, the level of responsibility and performance of the individual executive officers, the overall performance of Westbury Bancorp, Inc. and a peer group analysis of compensation paid at institutions of comparable size and complexity (see bank compensation surveys discussed below). The Compensation Committee also considers the recommendations of the Chief Executive Officer with respect to the compensation of executive officers other than the Chief Executive Officer.
The base salary levels for our executive officers are set to reflect the duties and levels of responsibilities inherent in the position and to reflect competitive conditions in the banking business in Westbury Bancorp, Inc.’s market area. Comparative salaries paid by other financial institutions are considered in establishing the salary for our executive officers. The Compensation Committee has utilized bank compensation surveys compiled by the America Bankers Association as well as other surveys prepared by trade groups and independent benefit consultants. In setting the base salaries, the Compensation Committee also considers a number of factors relating to the executive officers, including individual performance, job responsibilities, experience level, ability and the knowledge of the position. These factors are considered subjectively and none of the factors are accorded a specific weight.

Transactions With Certain Related Persons
Loans and Extensions of Credit. The Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 generally prohibits publicly traded companies from making loans to their executive officers and directors, but it contains a specific exemption from such prohibition for loans made by federally insured financial institutions, such as Westbury Bank, to their executive officers and directors in compliance with federal banking regulations. Federal regulations permit executive officers and directors to receive the same terms that are widely available to other employees as long as the director or executive officer is not given preferential treatment compared to the other participating employees. Westbury Bank makes loans to its directors, executive officers and employees through an employee loan program pursuant to which such loans bear interest at a rate that is 0.25% lower than the market rate at the time of origination. The program applies only to adjustable-rate first mortgages and home equity lines of credit on a primary residence and is available to all employees of Westbury Bank.

The following table sets forth loans made by Westbury Bank to its directors and executive officers where the largest amount of all indebtedness outstanding during the years ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, and all amounts of interest payable during the year, respectively, exceeded $120,000, and where the borrowers received reduced interest rates pursuant to the employee loan program described above. Except for the reduced interest rates, all 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 Westbury Bank, and did not involve more than the normal risk of collectability or present other unfavorable features.

Mr. Lipman served as President through December 31, 2014 and as Chief Executive Officer through September 30, 2015. Mr. Remus was appointed President effective January 1, 2015 and Chief Executive Officer effective October 1, 2015. Mr. Remus was our principal executive officer during all of fiscal 2016.

These amounts consist of cash bonus awards granted to each named executive officer with respect to such fiscal year in the subjective discretion of the Company's Compensation Committee taking into account factors such as individual performance and Company performance.
(3)
These amounts represent the aggregate grant date fair value for outstanding stock option awards granted during the year indicated computed in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 718. The assumptions used to determine the value of stock option awards are described in Note 14 of the notes to the consolidated financial statements included in the Westbury Bancorp, Inc. Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2016. For stock option awards, amounts reported are grant date fair values computed based upon the Black-Scholes option valuation model, which estimated the present dollar value of Westbury Bancorp, Inc.’s common stock options at the time of the grant. The actual value, if any, that may be realized will depend on the excess of the stock price over the exercise price on the date the option is exercised. Therefore, there is no assurance that the value realized by an executive officer will be at or near the value shown above.

For 2016, the amounts in this column reflect what Westbury Bancorp, Inc. or Westbury Bank paid for, or reimbursed, the applicable named executive officer for the various benefits and perquisites received.

Employment Agreements. In connection with the promotion of Greg Remus to the position of President and Chief Executive Officer and to reflect Raymond Lipman’s new position, Westbury Bank entered into new employment agreements with Messrs. Lipman and Remus effective as of October 1, 2015. The new employment agreements supersede their prior


16




employment agreements. Westbury Bank also entered into an employment agreement with Kirk J. Emerich effective February 19, 2014.
The employment agreement entered into between Westbury Bank and Mr. Lipman has a fixed three-year term and it expires on September 30, 2018. The agreement provides for the payment of base salary in the amount of $146,367 in the first year of the agreement, $126,367 in the second year of the agreement and $106,367 in the third year of the agreement. Mr. Lipman is required to work no less than 1,025 hours a year. The agreement also provides for his continued participation in bonus programs offered by Westbury Bank; however, Mr. Lipman is not eligible to participate in our group health insurance plans, medical, vision and dental insurance plans. Under the agreement, Mr. Lipman’s employment may be terminated for cause at any time, in which event the executive would have no right to receive compensation or other benefits for any period after termination.
 The employment agreements entered into between Westbury Bank and Mr. Remus and Mr. Emerich contain substantially similar terms to the employment agreements previously entered into by each executive with Westbury Bank. Mr. Remus’ employment agreement has a three-year term and Mr. Emerich’s employment agreement has a two-year term unless renewed. Commencing on December 31, 2016 (December 31, 2014 for Mr. Emerich), and on each subsequent anniversary thereafter, the agreements may be renewed for an additional year so that the remaining term will be three years (two years for Mr. Emerich), provided that the Board of Directors has approved the extension of the term. Each employment agreement provides for the payment of base salary which must be reviewed at least annually and which may be increased but not decreased except for decreases applicable to all employees. The current base salaries for Messrs. Remus and Emerich are $300,000 and $177,000 respectively. Each executive’s employment may be terminated for cause at any time, in which event the executive would have no right to receive compensation or other benefits for any period after termination.
Under each employment agreement with Mssrs. Lipman, Remus and Emerich, certain events resulting in the executive’s termination or resignation entitle the executive to payments of severance benefits following termination of employment. In the event the executive’s involuntary termination for reasons other than for cause, disability, retirement, death or in connection with or following a change in control, or in the event the executive resigns during the term of the agreement following (i)  a material change in the nature of the executive’s authority resulting in a reduction of the responsibility, or importance of executive’s position (ii) a relocation of the executive’s principal place of employment to a location that is more than 50 miles from the location of Westbury Bank’s principal executive offices, (iii) a material reduction in the benefits or perquisites paid to the executive unless such reduction is employer-wide, (iv) a liquidation or dissolution of Westbury Bank or (v) a material breach of the employment agreement by Westbury Bank, then the executive would be entitled to a severance payment in the form of a cash lump sum equal to the base salary and bonus the executive would be entitled to receive for the remaining unexpired term of the employment agreement. For this purpose, the bonuses payable will be deemed to be equal to the average bonus paid during the prior three years. In addition, the executive would be entitled to receive a lump sum payment equal to the present value of the contributions that would reasonably have been expected to be made on executive’s behalf under Westbury Bank’s defined contribution plans (e.g., 401(k) Plan, Employee Stock Ownership Plan) if the executive had continued working for the remaining unexpired term of the employment agreement earning the salary that would have been achieved during such period. Internal Revenue Code Section 409A may require that a portion of the above payments cannot be made until six months after termination of employment, if the executive is a “key employee” under IRS rules. In addition, the executive would be entitled, at no expense to the executive, to the continuation, if applicable with respect to such executive, of life insurance and non-taxable medical and dental coverage for the remaining unexpired term of the employment agreement.
Under each employment agreement with Messrs. Lipman, Remus and Emerich, in the event of a change in control of Westbury Bank or Westbury Bancorp, Inc., followed by executive’s involuntary termination or resignation for one of the reasons set forth above in the foregoing paragraph within 18 months thereafter, the executive would be entitled to a severance payment in the form of a cash lump sum equal to (a) three times the executive’s total compensation paid to or accrued on the executive’s behalf in the calendar year immediately preceding the year in which the termination of employment occurred (however, Mr. Emerich’s agreement provides for a payment equal to two times the “base amount” as defined under Internal Revenue Code Section 280G (the “base amount” is generally the five-year average of the executive’s taxable compensation), plus (b) a lump sum equal to the present value of the contributions that would reasonably have been expected to be made on the executive’s behalf under Westbury Bank’s defined contribution plans (e.g., 401(k) Plan, Employee Stock Ownership Plan) if the executive had continued working for an additional thirty-six (36) months (twenty-four (24) months for Mr. Emerich) after termination of employment, earning the salary that would have been achieved during such period. In addition, the executive would be entitled, at no expense to the executive, to the continuation, if applicable with respect to such executive, of life insurance and non-taxable medical and dental coverage for thirty-six (36) months (twenty-four (24) months for Mr.


17




Emerich) following the termination of employment. In the event payments made to the executive include an “excess parachute payment” as defined in Internal Revenue Code Section 280G, such payments will be cutback by the minimum dollar amount necessary to avoid this result.
Under each employment agreement, if an executive becomes disabled within the meaning of Internal Revenue Code Section 409A, the executive shall receive benefits under any short-term or long-term disability plans maintained by Westbury Bank in which he participates. In the event of executive’s death, if applicable with respect to such executive, the executive’s family will be entitled to continued non-taxable medical insurance for twelve months following the executive’s death, with the family member paying the employee share of the insurance premiums.
Upon termination of the executive’s employment, the executive may be subject to certain restrictions on their ability to compete, or to solicit business or employees of Westbury Bank and Westbury Bancorp, Inc. for a period of one year following termination of employment.
Salary Continuation Agreements. Westbury Bank entered into non-qualified salary continuation agreements with each of Raymond Lipman and Kirk Emerich in 2004. The two agreements, which contain substantially identical terms, provide that Messrs. Lipman and Emerich, respectively, are entitled to receive a supplemental retirement benefit of $89,900 and $62,000 a year, respectively, payable over 20 years following a termination of employment on or after age 65, with the benefit paid in monthly installments. The benefits under the agreements are not vested; however, if Messrs. Lipman and Emerich terminate employment on or after age 62 but prior to age 65, the executive will be entitled to a reduced benefit, which will also be payable over 20 years with the benefit paid in monthly installments. The agreements also provide each executive with a benefit in the event of the executive’s death or disability.
On December 18, 2015, Westbury Bank entered into an amended and restated salary continuation agreement with Mr. Emerich (the “New SERP”). The New SERP supersedes and replaces Mr. Emerich’s original salary continuation agreement with Westbury Bank dated May 14, 2004 (the “Original SERP”). Under the terms of the New SERP, Mr. Emerich (or his designated beneficiary in the event of death) would be entitled to an annual retirement benefit of $22,800, payable in 12 equal monthly installments for 240 months (the “Retirement Benefit”). The Retirement Benefit represents Mr. Emerich’s accrued benefit under the Original SERP calculated as of December 31, 2015. The Retirement Benefit would be payable upon the earlier of Mr. Emerich’s: (1) termination of employment for any reason at or after age 62; (2) death; (3) disability; or (4) termination of employment by Westbury Bank without cause or voluntary resignation for “good reason” as defined in the New SERP.
Split Dollar Life Agreement. On December 18, 2015, Westbury Bank entered into a split-dollar life insurance agreement (the “Split Dollar Agreement”) with Mr. Remus. The Split Dollar Agreement is designed to provide Mr. Remus’ designated beneficiary with a death benefit of $600,000 in the event of his death while actively employed with Westbury Bank. Under the terms of the Split Dollar Agreement, Westbury Bank is the owner of the life insurance policies under which Mr. Remus is insured, and Westbury Bank shall pay all premiums associated with such policies. If Mr. Remus terminates employment with Westbury Bank prior to his death, the Split Dollar Agreement shall terminate and Mr. Remus would have the right to purchase the underlying life insurance policies from Westbury Bank.
401(k) Plan . Westbury Bank maintains the Westbury Bank 401(k) Profit Sharing Plan (“401(k) Plan”). Employees who have attained age 21 and completed one month of employment 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. For 2016, the salary deferral contribution limit is $18,000, provided, however, that a participant over age 50 may contribute an additional $6,000, for a total contribution of $24,000. In addition to salary deferral contributions, Westbury Bank may make matching contributions and profit sharing contributions. Generally, unless the participant elects otherwise, the participant’s account balance will be distributed as a result of his or her termination of employment with Westbury Bank. Each participant has an individual account under the 401(k) Plan and may direct the investment of his or her account among a variety of investment options including the common stock of Westbury Bancorp, Inc. through the Westbury Bancorp, Inc. Stock Fund.
Employee Stock Ownership Plan. In connection with the bank's conversion from the mutual to stock form, which was completed on April 9, 2013, Westbury Bank adopted an ESOP for eligible bank employees. Eligible bank employees began participation in the ESOP on the later of the effective date of the conversion (April 9, 2013) or upon the first entry date commencing on or after the eligible employee’s completion of 1,000 hours of service.


18




The ESOP trustee purchased, on behalf of the employee stock ownership plan, 411,403 shares of common stock of Westbury Bancorp, Inc. as part of the conversion transaction. The ESOP funded its stock purchase with a loan from Westbury Bancorp, Inc. equal to the aggregate purchase price of the common stock. The loan will be repaid principally through Westbury Bank’s periodic contributions to the ESOP and dividends payable on common stock held by the ESOP over the 20-year term of the loan. The interest rate for the employee stock ownership plan loan adjusts annually to the prime rate on the first business day of the calendar year, retroactive to January 1 of such year, and is currently 3.50% as of the date of this proxy statement.
The ESOP trustee holds the shares purchased by the ESOP in an unallocated suspense account, and shares are released from the suspense account on a pro-rata basis as the ESOP repays the loan due the Company. The trustee allocates the shares released among participants on the basis of each participant’s proportional share of compensation relative to all participants. Each participant will vest in his or her benefit at a rate of 20% per year, beginning after the participant’s completion of his or her second year of service, such that the participant will be fully vested upon completion of six years of credited service. However, each participant who was employed by Westbury Bank prior to the offering will receive credit for vesting purposes for years of service prior to the adoption of the employee stock ownership plan. A participant will become fully vested automatically in his or her benefit upon normal retirement, death or disability, a change in control, or termination of the employee stock ownership plan. Generally, a participant will receive a distribution from the ESOP upon separation from service.
The ESOP permits a participant to direct the trustee as to how to vote the shares of common stock allocated to his or her account. The trustee votes unallocated shares and allocated shares for which participants do not provide instructions in the same ratio as those shares for which participants provide instructions.

Stock Benefit Plan
2014 Equity Incentive Plan. In 2014, the Company’s stockholders approved the Westbury Bancorp, Inc. 2014 Equity Incentive Plan (the “Equity Incentive Plan”), which provides officers, employees, and directors of Westbury Bancorp, Inc. and Westbury Bank with additional incentives to promote the Company’s growth and performance. Most of the


19




companies that the Company competes with for directors and management-level employees are public companies that offer equity compensation as part of their overall director and officer compensation programs. By approving the Equity Incentive Plan, the Company’s stockholders have given the Company flexibility needed to continue to attract and retain highly qualified officers and directors by offering a competitive compensation program that is linked to the performance of the common stock of Westbury Bancorp, Inc.

The Equity Incentive Plan authorizes the issuance or delivery of up to 712,827 shares of Westbury Bancorp, Inc. common stock pursuant to grants of restricted stock awards, incentive stock options, and non-qualified stock options; provided, however, that the maximum number of shares of stock that may be delivered pursuant to the exercise of stock options is 509,162 (all of which may be granted as incentive stock options) and the maximum number of shares of stock that may be issued as restricted stock awards is 203,665. The Company is proposing to the stockholders at the Annual Meeting an amendment to increase the number of shares of Company common stock available to be issued in the form of awards under the Equity Incentive Plan to ensure we have a sufficient number of shares of Company common stock available to make awards for the foreseeable future. See "Proposal II - Approval of the Amendment to the Westbury Bancorp, Inc. 2014 Equity Incentive Plan" below for a discussion of this amendment.

The Equity Incentive Plan is administered by the members of Westbury Bancorp, Inc.’s Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors (the “Committee”) who are “Disinterested Board Members,” as defined in the Equity Incentive Plan. The Committee has the authority and discretion to select the persons who will receive awards; establish the terms and conditions relating to each award; adopt rules and regulations relating to the Equity Incentive Plan; and interpret the Equity Incentive Plan. The Equity Incentive Plan also permits the Committee to delegate all or any portion of its responsibilities and powers.

The Company’s employees and outside directors are eligible to receive awards under the Equity Incentive Plan. Awards may be granted in a combination of restricted stock awards, incentive stock options, and non-qualified stock options. The exercise price of stock options granted under the Equity Incentive Plan may not be less than the fair market value on the date the stock option is granted. Stock options are subject to vesting conditions and restrictions as determined by the Committee. Stock awards under the Equity Incentive Plan will be granted only in whole shares of common stock. All restricted stock and stock option grants will be subject to conditions established by the Committee that are set forth in the award agreement.
The Committee has periodically approved awards under the Equity Incentive Plan. All stock options and restricted stock awards are subject to time-based vesting and vest over a five-year period, with 20% of the awards vesting each year. The recipients of restricted stock awards are entitled to receive any cash dividends paid on all restricted stock awards, whether such awards are vested or not, and have voting rights consistent with the holders of our common stock generally.

PROPOSAL II— APPROVAL OF THE AMENDMENT TO THE WESTBURY BANCORP, INC.
2014 EQUITY INCENTIVE PLAN

The Board of Directors has adopted, subject to stockholder approval, an Amendment ("Amendment") to the Westbury Bancorp, Inc. 2014 Equity Incentive Plan (the “Plan”), to increase the number of shares of Company common stock authorized for issuance or delivery in the form of awards to participants in the Plan. The Plan was initially approved by the stockholders on June 18, 2014. The Amendment modifies the Plan to increase the maximum number of shares of Company common stock that may be delivered to Participants and beneficiaries under the Plan pursuant to the exercise of stock options (all of which may be granted as ISOs) by 200,000 shares of common stock (for an aggregate total of 709,162 shares of common stock issuable as stock options under the Plan) and to increase the maximum number of shares of common stock that may be issued under the Plan as restricted stock awards by 20,000 shares of stock (for an aggregate total of 223,665 shares of common stock issuable as restricted stock awards under the Plan).
The increase in the number of shares of Company common stock available for issuance of awards under the Plan is the only amendment to the plan being proposed to the stockholders for approval at the Annual Meeting. As of the date of this Proxy Statement, there currently remain only 41,760 shares of Company common stock available for issuance of awards under the Plan (34,784 shares in the form of stock options and 5,536 shares in the form of restricted stock awards). Based upon historical practice on the number and amount of awards, the Company would no longer have any shares available for issuance of awards following fiscal 2017. We believe having shares available for these awards is useful as a performance incentive and for retaining and recruiting key personnel. The Company believes that the proposed increase in number of shares available for awards under the Plan will provide sufficient shares for making awards over the next three fiscal years.
The Amendment is attached hereto as Appendix A . The 2014 Equity Incentive Plan is attached hereto as Appendix B .
Description of the Plan

The following description of the Plan is qualified in its entirety by reference to the copy of the Amendment and the Plan, which are attached to this Proxy Statement as Appendix A and Appendix B .
General . Subject to permitted adjustments for certain corporate transactions, the Plan authorizes the issuance or delivery to participants of up to 712,827 shares of Company common stock (proposed to be increased to 932,827 shares) pursuant to grants of restricted stock awards, incentive stock options and non-qualified stock options; provided, however, that the maximum number of shares of stock that may be delivered pursuant to the exercise of stock options is 509,162 (all of which may be granted as incentive stock options) (proposed to be increased to 709,162 shares) and the maximum number of shares of stock that may be issued as restricted stock awards is 203,665 (proposed to be increased to 223,665 shares).  The Plan is administered by the members of Westbury Bancorp, Inc. Compensation Committee (the “Committee”) who are “Disinterested Board Members,” as defined in the Plan. The Committee has the authority and discretion to select the persons who will receive awards; establishing the terms and conditions relating to each award; adopting rules and regulations relating to the Plan; and interpreting the Plan. The Plan also permits the Committee to delegate all or any portion of its responsibilities and powers. The Committee may grant an award under the Plan as an alternative to or replacement of an existing award under the Plan or any other plan of the Company or a subsidiary of the Company, or as the form of payment for grants or rights earned or due under any other plan or arrangement of the Company or a subsidiary of the Company, including the plan of any entity acquired by the Company or a subsidiary of the Company.
Eligibility . Employees and directors of Westbury Bancorp, Inc. or its subsidiaries are eligible to receive awards under the Plan, except that non-employees may not be granted incentive stock options.

Types of Awards . The Committee may determine the type and terms and conditions of awards under the Plan, which shall be set forth in an award agreement delivered to each participant. Each award shall be subject to conditions established by the Committee that are set forth in the recipient’s award agreement, and shall be subject to vesting conditions and restrictions as determined by the Committee; provided, however, that unless the Committee specifies a different vesting rate, no award shall vest more rapidly than 20% per year over a five-year period commencing one year from the date of grant. Awards may be granted in a combination of incentive and non-qualified stock options or restricted stock.



23




Stock Options . A stock option is the right to purchase shares of common stock at a specified price for a specified period of time. Under the Plan, the exercise price may not be less than the fair market value of a share of our common stock on the date the stock option is granted. Fair market value for purposes of the Plan means (i) the final sales price of the Company’s common stock as reported on the principal United States securities exchange on which the shares are listed or admitted to trading on the date in question, or if the Company’s common stock was not traded on such date, then on the last preceding date on which any reported sale of the common stock occurred, and without regard to after-hours trading activity in New York City, or (ii) if the shares of our common stock are not listed or admitted to trading on any such exchange, then the closing bid quotation with respect to a share of our common stock on such date, as of the close of the market and without regard to after-hours trading activity. The Committee will determine the fair market value of the common stock, in accordance with Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code and applicable requirements of Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code, if it cannot be determined in the manner described above. Further, the Committee may not grant a stock option with a term that is longer than 10 years.
Stock options are either “incentive” stock options or “non-qualified” stock options. Incentive stock options have certain tax advantages that are not available to non-qualified stock options, and must comply with the requirements of Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code. Only officers and employees are eligible to receive incentive stock options. Outside directors may only receive non-qualified stock options under the Plan. Shares of common stock purchased upon the exercise of a stock option must be paid for at the time of exercise in cash or by such other means as the Committee may from time to time permit, including: (i) by personal, certified or cashier’s check, (ii) by tendering stock of the Company owned by the participant in satisfaction of the exercise price, (iii) by a “cashless exercise” through a third party, or (iv) by a combination of the foregoing. The total number of shares that may be acquired upon the exercise of a stock option will be rounded down to the nearest whole share. The Plan provides that neither the Committee nor the Board is authorized to make any adjustment or amendment that reduces or would have the effect of reducing the exercise price of a stock option previously granted.
Restricted Stock . A restricted stock award is a grant of common stock, subject to vesting requirements, to a participant for no consideration or such minimum consideration as may be required by applicable law. Restricted stock awards may be granted only in whole shares of common stock and are subject to vesting conditions and other restrictions established by the Committee as set forth in the Plan or the award agreement. Prior to their vesting, unless otherwise determined by the Committee, the recipient of a restricted stock award may exercise any voting rights with respect to common stock subject to an award and receive any dividends and distributions with respect to the common stock.
Limitation on Awards Under the Equity Incentive Plan . The maximum number of shares of stock that may be available for awards as stock options is 509,162 and for awards of restricted stock is 203,665 (proposed to be increased to 709,162 and 223,665 shares). To the extent any shares of stock covered by an award (including restricted stock awards) under the Plan are not delivered to a participant or beneficiary because the award is forfeited or canceled or because a stock option is not exercised, then such shares shall not be deemed to have been delivered for purposes of determining the maximum number of shares of stock available for delivery under the Plan. In the event of a corporate transaction involving the stock of the Company (including, without limitation, any stock dividend, stock split or other special and nonrecurring dividend or distribution, recapitalization, reorganization, merger, consolidation, spin-off, combination or exchange of shares), the Committee will, in an equitable manner, adjust any or all of the number and kind of securities deemed to be available for grants of stock options and restricted stock, the number and kind of securities that may be delivered or deliverable in respect of outstanding stock options and restricted stock and the exercise price of stock options. In addition, the Committee is authorized to make adjustments in the terms and conditions of, and the criteria included in, stock options and restricted stock.
Performance Features . A federal income tax deduction for the Company will generally be unavailable for annual compensation in excess of $1.0 million paid to its chief executive officer or three other most highly compensated officers (other than its chief financial officer). However, amounts that constitute “performance-based compensation” (as that term is used in section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code) are not counted toward the $1.0 million limit. The Plan is designed so that stock options will be considered performance-based compensation. The Committee may designate whether any restricted stock awards granted to any participant are intended to be performance-based compensation. Any restricted stock awards designated as performance-based compensation will be conditioned on the achievement of one or more performance measures, to the extent required by section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code.
The performance measures that may be used for such awards will be based on any one or more of the following performance measures, as selected by the Committee: book value or tangible book value per share; basic cash earnings per share; diluted earnings per share; return on equity; net income or net income before taxes; cash earnings; net


24




interest income; non-interest income; general and administrative expense to average assets ratio; cash general and administrative expense to average assets ratio; efficiency ratio; cash efficiency ratio; return on average assets; cash return on average assets; return on average stockholders’ equity; cash return on average stockholders’ equity; return on average tangible stockholders’ equity; cash return on average tangible stockholders’ equity; core earnings; operating income; operating efficiency ratio; net interest rate margin or net interest rate spread; growth in assets, loans, or deposits; loan production volume; non-performing loans; cash flow; strategic business objectives consisting of one or more objectives based upon meeting specified cost targets, business expansion goals, and goals relating to acquisitions or divestitures, or goals relating to capital raising and capital management; or any combination of the foregoing. Performance measures may be based on the performance of the Company as a whole or of any one or more subsidiaries or business units of the Company or a subsidiary and may be measured relative to a peer group, an index or a business plan. The Committee may adjust performance measures in certain circumstances, provided, however, no adjustment may be made with respect to an award that is intended to be performance-based compensation within the meaning of section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code, except to the extent the Committee exercises negative discretion as permitted under applicable law for purposes of an exception under section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code. In establishing the performance measures, the Committee may provide for the inclusion or exclusion of certain items.

Vesting of Awards . If the vesting of an award under the Plan is conditioned on the completion of a specified period of service with the Company or its subsidiaries, without the achievement of performance measures or objectives, then the required period of service for full vesting shall be determined by the Committee and evidenced in an award agreement; subject to acceleration of vesting in the event of death, disability, retirement or involuntary termination of employment or service following a change in control.
Change in Control . Unless otherwise stated in an award agreement, upon the occurrence of an involuntary termination of employment following a change in control of the Company, all outstanding options then held by a participant will become fully exercisable and all restricted stock awards shall be fully earned and vested. For the purposes of the Plan, a change in control occurs when (a) Westbury Bancorp, Inc. or Westbury Bank merges into or consolidates with another entity or merges another bank or corporation into Westbury Bancorp, Inc. or Westbury Bank, and as a result, less than a majority of the combined voting power of the resulting corporation is held by persons who were stockholders of the Company or the bank before the merger or consolidation; (b) a person or persons acting in concert has or have become the beneficial owner of 25% or more of a class of Westbury Bancorp, Inc.’s or Westbury Bank’s voting securities; (c) during any period of two consecutive years, individuals who constitute Westbury Bancorp, Inc.’s or Westbury Bank’s Board of Directors at the beginning of the two-year period cease for any reason to constitute at least a majority of Westbury Bancorp, Inc.’s or Westbury Bank’s Board of Directors, provided that each director who is first elected to the board by a vote of at least two-thirds of the directors who were directors at the beginning of the two-year period shall be deemed to have also been a director at the beginning of such period; or (d) Westbury Bancorp, Inc. or Westbury Bank sells to a third party all or substantially all of its assets. In the event of a change in control, any performance measure attached to an award under the Plan shall be deemed satisfied as of the date of the change in control.
Forfeiture . The Committee may specify in an award agreement that rights and benefits with respect to an award may be subject to reduction, cancellation, forfeiture or recoupment upon termination of employment for cause; termination of services with the Company or its affiliate or subsidiary; any material violation of one or more of the Company’s policies; breach of noncompetition, confidentiality or other restrictive covenants that apply to the employee or director; or any other conduct that is detrimental to the Company’s business or reputation, its affiliates and/or its subsidiaries. If the Company is required to prepare an accounting restatement due to the material noncompliance of the Company, as a result of misconduct, with any financial reporting requirement under the securities laws, any participant who is subject to automatic forfeiture under Section 304 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 shall reimburse the Company the amount of any payment in settlement of an award earned or accrued during the twelve-month period following the first public issuance or filing with the SEC (whichever just occurred) of the financial document embodying such financial reporting requirement. In addition, in the event of an accounting restatement, the Committee, in its sole and exclusive discretion, may require that any participant reimburse the Company for all or any part of the amount of any payment in settlement of any award granted hereunder.
      Amendment and Termination; Duration . The Board of Directors may, at any time, amend or terminate the Plan or any award granted under the Plan, provided that, except as provided in the Plan, no amendment or termination may adversely impair the rights of a participant or beneficiary under an award without the participant’s (or affected beneficiary’s) written consent. The Board of Directors may not amend the Plan to materially increase the benefits accruing to participants under the plan, materially increase the aggregate number of securities that may be issued under the Plan (other than as provided in the Plan), or materially modify the requirements for participation in the Plan, without approval of stockholders. Notwithstanding


25




the foregoing, the Committee may amend the Plan or any award agreement, to take effect retroactively or otherwise, to conform the Plan or the award agreement to current or future law or to avoid an accounting treatment resulting from an accounting pronouncement or interpretation issued by the SEC or Financial Accounting Standards Board subsequent to the adoption of the Plan or the making of the award affected thereby, which, in the sole discretion of the Committee, may materially and adversely affect the financial condition or results of operations of the Company. The Plan will remain in effect as long as any awards under it are outstanding; however, no awards may be granted under the Plan on or after the 10-year anniversary of the effective date of the Plan. At any time, the Board of Directors may terminate the Plan. However, any termination of the Plan will not affect outstanding awards.
New Plan Benefits

The amount and type of awards to be issued under the Plan for future years to our executive officers and directors have not been set as of the date of this Proxy Statement and, therefore, the benefits or amounts to be received in the future by, or allocated to, such persons under the Plan is not currently determinable.

Vote Required for Approval

If a quorum exists, the proposal to ratify and approve the Amendment to the Plan requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the shares of Company common stock represented at the Annual Meeting, in person or by proxy, and entitled to vote thereon. Because approval of the Amendment to the Plan is based on the affirmative vote of a majority of the shares outstanding, the failure to vote, a broker non-vote or an abstention will have the same effect as a vote against this proposal.

Recommendation of the Board
The Board of Directors recommends a vote “FOR” the approval of the Amendment to the Westbury Bancorp, Inc. 2014 Equity Incentive Plan.

PROPOSAL III—RATIFICATION OF APPOINTMENT OF
INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
The Audit Committee of Westbury Bancorp, Inc. has approved the engagement of CliftonLarsonAllen LLP to be our independent registered public accounting firm for the year ending September 30, 2017, subject to the ratification of the engagement by our stockholders. At the Annual Meeting, stockholders will consider and vote on the ratification of the Audit Committee’s engagement of CliftonLarsonAllen LLP for the year ending September 30, 2017. A representative of CliftonLarsonAllen LLP is expected to attend the Annual Meeting and may respond to appropriate questions and make a statement if he or she so desires.
Even if the engagement of CliftonLarsonAllen LLP is ratified, the Audit Committee, in its discretion, may direct the appointment of a different independent registered public accounting firm at any time during the year if it determines that such change would be in the best interests of Westbury Bancorp, Inc. and its stockholders.
Set forth below is certain information concerning aggregate fees billed for professional services rendered by the Company's prior independent registered public accounting firm, RSM US LLP during the years ended September 30, 2016 and September 30, 2015.

Audit Fees. The aggregate fees billed to us for professional services rendered for the audit of our annual financial statements, review of the financial statements included in our Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and services that are normally provided in connection with statutory and regulatory filings and engagements were $253,000 and $254,000 during the years ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively.

Audit Related Fees. The audit-related fees billed to us for assurance and related services rendered that are reasonably related to the performance of the audit of and review of the financial statements, but are not already reported in “—Audit Fees," were $41,750 and $41,250 during the years ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively. These services related to audits of our 401(k) plan, our ESOP and HUD reporting, as well as agreed-upon procedures for student loans.

Tax Fees. The aggregate fees billed to us for professional services rendered for tax preparation, tax consultation and tax compliance were $19,500 during each of the years ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively.

All Other Fees. The aggregate fees billed to us for professional services rendered for regulatory compliance were $26,000 and $0 during the years ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively.

The Audit Committee has considered whether the provision of the services and the payment of the fees described above are compatible with maintaining the independence of RSM US LLP. The Audit Committee concluded that performing such services does not affect the independence of RSM US LLP in performing its function as our independent registered public accounting firm.

The Audit Committee has adopted a pre-approval policy, and pre-approves all audit and permitted non-audit services (including the fees and terms thereof) to be performed for us by RSM US LLP, subject to the de minimum exceptions for non-audit services described in Section 10A(i)(1)(B) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, which are approved by the Audit Committee prior to the completion of the audit. These services may include audit services, audit-related services, tax services and other services. The Audit Committee may delegate pre-approval authority to one or more members of the


27




Audit Committee when expedition of services is necessary. The independent registered public accounting firm and management are required to periodically report to the full Audit Committee regarding the extent of services provided by the independent registered public accounting firm in accordance with this pre-approval, and the fees for the services performed to date. The audit-related fees and all other fees described above were approved as part of our engagement of RSM US LLP.
On December 5, 2016, the Company dismissed RSM US LLP as its independent public accountants following the completion of RSM US LLP's three year engagement term and subsequently appointed CliftonLarsonAllen LLP as its new independent public accountants. The decision to dismiss RSM US LLP and to retain CliftonLarsonAllen LLP was approved by the Company's Audit Committee on December 5, 2016.

RSM US LLP's reports on the Company's consolidated financial statements for each of the fiscal years ended September 30, 2016 and 2015 did not contain an adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion, nor were they qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles.

During the Company's two most recent fiscal years and through December 5, 2016, there were no disagreements with RSM US LLP on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure which, if not resolved to RSM US LLP's satisfaction, would have caused them to make reference to the subject matter in connection with their report on the Company's consolidated financial statements for such years; and there were no reportable events, as listed in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of SEC Regulation S-K, during such time period.

During the fiscal years ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, and the subsequent interim period through December 5, 2016, the Company did not consult with CliftonLarsonAllen LLP regarding any of the matters or events set forth in Item 304(a)(2)(i) and (ii) of Regulation S-K.

In determining to change auditors, the Company considered a number of factors including auditor rotation, experience and cost.
The Board of Directors recommends a vote “FOR” the ratification of CliftonLarsonAllen LLP as independent registered public accounting firm for the year ending September 30, 2017.

WESTBURY BANCORP, INC.

BY     
Its _______________________________

WESTBURY BANCORP, INC.

2014 EQUITY INCENTIVE PLAN
ARTICLE 1 – GENERAL

Section 1.1     Purpose, Effective Date and Term .  The purpose of the Westbury Bancorp, Inc. 2014 Equity Incentive Plan (the “Plan”) is to promote the long-term financial success of Westbury Bancorp, Inc. (the “Company”), and its Subsidiaries, including Westbury Bank (the “Bank”), by providing a means to attract, retain and reward individuals who contribute to such success and to further align their interests with those of the Company’s stockholders. The “Effective Date” of the Plan shall be the date the Plan satisfies the applicable shareholder approval requirements.  The Plan shall remain in effect as long as any Awards are outstanding; provided, however, that no Awards may be granted under the Plan after the ten-year anniversary of the Effective Date.
Section 1.2     Administration .  The Plan shall be administered by the Compensation Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Committee”), in accordance with Section 5.1.
Section 1.3     Participation .  Each Employee or Director of the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company who is granted an Award in accordance with the terms of the Plan shall be a “Participant” in the Plan.  Awards shall be limited to Employees and Directors of the Company or any Subsidiary.
Section 1.4     Definitions .  Capitalized terms used in this Plan are defined in Article 8 and elsewhere in this Plan.
ARTICLE 2 - AWARDS
Section 2.1     General .  Any Award under the Plan may be granted singularly or in combination with another Award (or Awards).  Each Award under the Plan shall be subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan and such additional terms, conditions, limitations and restrictions as the Committee shall provide with respect to such Award and as evidenced in the Award Agreement.  Subject to the provisions of Section 2.8, an Award may be granted as an alternative to or replacement of an existing Award under the Plan or any other plan of the Company or any Subsidiary or as the form of payment for grants or rights earned or due under any other compensation plan or arrangement of the Company or its Subsidiaries, including without limitation the plan of any entity acquired by the Company or any Subsidiary.  The types of Awards that may be granted under the Plan include:
(a)      Stock Options .  A Stock Option means a grant under Section 2.2 that represents the right to purchase shares of Stock at an Exercise Price established by the Committee.  Any Stock Option may be either an Incentive Stock Option (an “ISO”) that is intended to satisfy the requirements applicable to an “Incentive Stock Option” described in Code Section 422(b), or a Non-Qualified Stock Option (a “Non-Qualified Option”) that is not intended to be an ISO; provided, however, that no ISOs may be granted: (i) after the ten‑year anniversary of the Effective Date; or (ii)  to a non-Employee.  Unless otherwise specifically provided by its terms, any Stock Option granted to an Employee under this Plan shall be an ISO. Any

    




ISO granted under this Plan that does not qualify as an ISO for any reason (whether at the time of grant or as the result of a subsequent event) shall be deemed to be a Non-Qualified Option. In addition, any ISO granted under this Plan may be unilaterally modified by the Committee to disqualify such Stock Option from ISO treatment such that it shall become a Non-Qualified Option; provided, however, that any such modification shall be ineffective if it causes the Award to be subject to Code Section 409A (unless, as modified, the Award complies with Code Section 409A).
(b)      Restricted Stock.   Restricted Stock means a grant of shares of Stock under Section 2.3 for no consideration or such minimum consideration as may be required by applicable law, either alone or in addition to other Awards granted under the Plan, subject to a vesting schedule or the satisfaction of market conditions or performance conditions. 
Section 2.2     Stock Options
(a)      Grant of Stock Options . Each Stock Option shall be evidenced by an Award Agreement that shall: (i) specify the number of Stock Options covered by the Award; (ii) specify the date of grant of the Stock Option; (iii) specify the vesting period or conditions to vesting; and (iv) contain such other terms and conditions not inconsistent with the Plan, including the effect of termination of a Participant’s employment or Service with the Company as the Committee may, in its discretion, prescribe.
(b)      Terms and Conditions . A Stock Option shall be exercisable in accordance with such terms and conditions and during such periods as may be established by the Committee. In no event, however, shall a Stock Option expire later than ten years after the date of its grant (or five years with respect to ISOs granted to an Employee who is a 10% Stockholder).  The “Exercise Price” of each Stock Option shall not be less than 100% of the Fair Market Value of a share of Stock on the date of grant (or, if greater, the par value of a share of Stock); provided, however, that the Exercise Price of an ISO shall not be less than 110% of Fair Market Value of a share of Stock on the date of grant if granted to a 10% Stockholder; provided further, that the Exercise Price may be higher or lower in the case of Stock Options granted or exchanged in replacement of existing Awards held by an Employee or Director of an acquired entity.  The payment of the Exercise Price of a Stock Option shall be by cash or, subject to limitations imposed by applicable law, by such other means as the Committee may from time to time permit, including: (i) by tendering, either actually or constructively by attestation, shares of Stock valued at Fair Market Value as of the day of exercise; (ii) by irrevocably authorizing a third party, acceptable to the Committee, to sell shares of Stock (or a sufficient portion of the shares) acquired upon exercise of the Stock Option and to remit to the Company a sufficient portion of the sale proceeds to pay the entire Exercise Price and any tax withholding resulting from such exercise; (iii) by a net settlement of the Stock Option, using a portion of the shares obtained on exercise in payment of the Exercise Price of the Stock Option; (iv) by personal, certified or cashiers’ check; (v) by other property deemed acceptable by the Committee; or (vi) by any combination thereof. The total number of shares that may be acquired upon the exercise of a Stock Option shall be rounded down to the nearest whole share.
Section 2.3     Restricted Stock .

(a)      Grant of Restricted Stock . Each Restricted Stock Award shall be evidenced by an Award Agreement that shall: (i) specify the number of shares of Stock covered by the Restricted Stock Award; (ii) specify the date of grant of the Restricted Stock Award; (iii) specify the vesting period; and (iv) contain such other terms and conditions not inconsistent with the Plan, including the effect of termination of a Participant’s employment or Service with the Company, as the Committee may, in its discretion, prescribe. All Restricted Stock Awards shall be in the form of issued and outstanding shares of Stock that shall be either: (x) registered in the name of the Participant and held by the Company, together with a stock power executed by the Participant in favor of the Company, pending the vesting or forfeiture of the Restricted Stock; or (y) registered in the name of, and delivered to, the Participant. In any event, the certificates evidencing the Restricted Stock Award shall at all times prior to the applicable vesting date bear the following legend:

The Stock evidenced hereby is subject to the terms of an Award Agreement with Westbury Bancorp, Inc. dated [Date], made pursuant to the terms of the Westbury Bancorp, Inc. 2014 Equity Incentive Plan, copies of which are on file at the executive offices of Westbury Bancorp, Inc., and may not be sold, encumbered, hypothecated or otherwise transferred except in accordance with the terms of such Plan and Award Agreement,

or such other restrictive legend as the Committee, in its discretion, may specify. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company may in its sole discretion issue Restricted Stock in any other approved format ( e.g., electronically ) in order to facilitate the paperless transfer of such Awards. In the event Restricted Stock is not issued in certificate form, the Company

    




and the transfer agent shall maintain appropriate bookkeeping entries that evidence Participants’ ownership of such Awards. Restricted Stock that is not issued in certificate form shall be subject to the same terms and conditions of the Plan as certificated shares, including the restrictions on transferability and the provision of a stock power executed by the Participant in favor of the Company, until the satisfaction of the conditions to which the Restricted Stock Award is subject.

(b)     Terms and Conditions.     Each Restricted Stock Award shall be subject to the following terms and conditions:

(i)     Dividends. Unless the Committee determines otherwise with respect to any Restricted Stock Award and specifies such determination in the relevant Award Agreement, any dividends or distributions declared and paid with respect to shares of Stock subject to the Restricted Stock Award, other than a stock dividend consisting of shares of Stock, shall be immediately distributed to the Participant. If the Committee determines to delay the distribution of dividends to a Participant until the vesting of an Award of Restricted Stock, the Committee shall cause the dividend (and any earnings thereon) to be distributed to the Participant no later than two and one-half months following the date on which the Restricted Stock vests.

(ii)     Voting Rights. Unless the Committee determines otherwise with respect to any Restricted Stock Award and specifies such determination in the relevant Award Agreement, voting rights with respect to the shares of Restricted Stock shall be exercised by the Participant in his or her discretion.

(iii)     Tender Offers and Merger Elections. Each Participant to whom a Restricted Stock Award is granted shall have the right to respond, or to direct the response, with respect to the related shares of Restricted Stock, to any tender offer, exchange offer, cash/stock merger consideration election or other offer made to, or elections made by, the holders of shares of Stock. Such a direction for any such shares of Restricted Stock shall be given by proxy or ballot (if the Participant is the beneficial owner of the shares of Restricted Stock for voting purposes) or by completing and filing, with the inspector of elections, the trustee or such other person who shall be independent of the Company as the Committee shall designate in the direction (if the Participant is not such a beneficial owner), a written direction in the form and manner prescribed by the Committee. If no such direction is given, then the shares of Restricted Stock shall not be tendered.

Section 2.4     Performance-Based Compensation . Any Award under the Plan that is intended to be “performance-based compensation” within the meaning of Code Section 162(m) shall be conditioned on the achievement of one or more objective performance measures, to the extent required by Code Section 162(m), as may be determined by the Committee. The grant of any Award and the establishment of performance measures that are intended to be performance-based compensation shall be made during the period required under Code Section 162(m) and shall comply with all applicable requirements of Code Section 162(m).
(a)     Performance Measures .  Such performance measures may be based on any one or more of the following:

    




(i) book value or tangible book value per share;
(ii) basic cash earnings per share;
(iii) diluted earnings per share;
(iv) return on equity;
(v) net income or net income before taxes;
(vi) cash earnings;
(vii) net interest income;
(viii) non-interest income;
(ix) general and administrative expense to average assets ratio;
(x) cash general and administrative expense to average assets ratio;
(xi) efficiency ratio;
(xii) cash efficiency ratio;
(xiii) return on average assets;
(xiv) cash return on average assets;
(xv) return on average stockholders' equity;
(xvi) cash return on average stockholders' equity;
(xvii) return on average tangible stockholders' equity;
(xviii) cash return on average tangible stockholders' equity;
(xix) core earnings;
(xx) operating income;
(xxi) operating efficiency ratio;
(xxii) net interest rate margin or net interest rate spread;
(xxiii) growth in assets, loans, or deposits;
(xxiv) loan production volume;
(xxv) non-performing loans;
(xxvi) cash flow;
(xxvii) strategic business objectives, consisting of one or more objectives based upon meeting specified cost targets, business expansion goals, and goals relating to acquisitions or divestitures, or goals relating to capital raising and capital management; or
(xxviii) any combination of the foregoing.

    




Performance measures may be based on the performance of the Company as a whole or on any one or more Subsidiaries or business units of the Company or a Subsidiary and may be measured relative to a peer group, an index or a business plan and may be considered as absolute measures or changes in measures. The Committee may elect to use different performance measures and shall have sole discretion in determining how performance measures are calculated. In establishing any performance measures, the Committee may provide for the exclusion of the effects of the following items, to the extent identified in the audited financial statements of the Company, including footnotes, or in the Management’s Discussion and Analysis section of the Company’s annual report or in the Compensation Discussion and Analysis Section, if any, of the Company’s annual proxy statement: (i) extraordinary, unusual, and/or nonrecurring items of gain or loss; (ii) gains or losses on the disposition of a business; (iii) changes in tax or accounting principles, regulations or laws; or (iv) mergers or acquisitions.  To the extent not specifically excluded, such effects shall be included in any applicable performance measure. The Committee also may exclude other items in its sole discretion in establishing and calculating performance measures, which may include, but not limited to, the effect of dividends and the expense of Restricted Stock Awards.
(b)     Adjustments . Pursuant to this Section 2.4, in certain circumstances the Committee may adjust performance measures; provided, however, no adjustment may be made with respect to an Award that is intended to be performance-based compensation within the meaning of Code Section 162(m), except to the extent the Committee exercises such negative discretion as is permitted under applicable law for purposes of an exception under Code Section 162(m). If the Committee determines that a change in the business, operations, corporate structure or capital structure of the Company or the manner in which the Company or its Subsidiaries conducts its business or other events or circumstances render current performance measures to be unsuitable, the Committee may modify such performance measures, in whole or in part, as the Committee deems appropriate. If a Participant is promoted, demoted or transferred to a different business unit during a performance period, the Committee may determine that the selected performance measures or applicable performance period are no longer appropriate, in which case, the Committee, in its sole discretion, may: (i) adjust, change or eliminate the performance measures or change the applicable performance period; or (ii) cause to be made a cash payment to the Participant in an amount determined by the Committee.

Section 2.5     Vesting of Awards . (a)    The Committee shall specify the vesting schedule or conditions of each Award. Unless otherwise specified by the Committee and set forth in an Award Agreement between the Company and the Participant or as set forth in an employment agreement entered into by and between the Company and/or the Bank and an Employee, Awards under the Plan shall be granted with a vesting rate not exceeding 20% per year, with the first installment vesting one year after the date of grant. If the right to become vested in an Award under the Plan (including the right to exercise a Stock Option) is conditioned on the completion of a specified period of Service with the Company or its Subsidiaries, without achievement of performance measures or other performance objectives being required as a condition of vesting, and without it being granted in lieu of, or in exchange for, other compensation, then the required period of Service for full vesting shall be determined by the Committee and evidenced in the Award Agreement (subject to acceleration of vesting, to the extent permitted by the Committee, including in the event of the Participant’s death, Disability, Retirement or Involuntary Termination of Employment following a Change in Control). Unless otherwise provided by the Committee, Service as a director emeritus, advisory director or consultant shall constitute Service for purposes of vesting.
(b)    Notwithstanding Section 2.8 and Article 4 hereof, to the extent permitted by applicable law or regulations, or pursuant to an applicable regulatory waiver, the Committee may determine that all Stock Options then held by the Participant shall become fully exercisable (subject to the expiration provisions otherwise applicable to the Stock Option) and all Restricted Stock Awards described in Section 2.1(b) shall be fully earned and vested immediately.
Section 2.6     Deferred Compensation . If any Award would be considered “deferred compensation” as defined under Code Section 409A (“Deferred Compensation”), the Committee reserves the absolute right (including the right to delegate such right) to unilaterally amend the Plan or the Award Agreement, without the consent of the Participant, to maintain exemption from, or to comply with, Code Section 409A. Any amendment by the Committee to the Plan or an Award Agreement pursuant to this Section 2.6 shall maintain, to the extent practicable, the original intent of the applicable provision without violating Code Section 409A. A Participant’s acceptance of any Award under the Plan constitutes acknowledgement and consent to such rights of the Committee, without further consideration or action. Any discretionary authority retained by the Committee pursuant to the terms of this Plan or pursuant to an Award Agreement shall not be applicable to an Award which is determined to constitute Deferred Compensation, if such discretionary authority would contravene Code Section 409A.
Section 2.7     Prohibition Against Option Repricing .  Except for adjustments pursuant to Section 3.3, and reductions of the Exercise Price approved by the Company’s stockholders, neither the Committee nor the Board shall have

    




the right or authority to make any adjustment or amendment that reduces or would have the effect of reducing the Exercise Price of a Stock Option previously granted under the Plan, whether through amendment, cancellation (including cancellation in exchange for a cash payment in excess of the Stock Option’s in-the-money value) or replacement grants, or other means.
Section 2.8.      Effect of Termination of Service on Awards. The Committee shall establish the effect of a Termination of Service on the continuation of rights and benefits available under an Award or the Plan and, in so doing, may make distinctions based upon, among other things, the cause of Termination of Service and type of Award. Unless otherwise specified by the Committee and set forth in an Award Agreement between the Company and the Participant or as set forth in an employment agreement entered into by and between the Company and/or the Bank and an Employee, the following provisions shall apply to each Award granted under this Plan:
(a)    Upon a Participant’s Termination of Service for any reason other than Disability, death, Retirement or termination for Cause, Stock Options shall be exercisable only as to those shares that were immediately exercisable by such Participant at the date of termination, and Stock Options may be exercised only for a period of three months following termination and any Restricted Stock that has not vested as of the date of Termination of Service shall expire and be forfeited.
(b)    In the event of a Termination of Service for Cause, all Stock Options granted to a Participant that have not been exercised and all Restricted Stock granted to a Participant that has not vested shall expire and be forfeited.
(c)    Upon Termination of Service for reason of Disability, death or, to the extent permitted by the Committee, Retirement, all Stock Options shall be exercisable as to all shares subject to an outstanding Award, whether or not then exercisable, and all Restricted Stock shall vest as to all shares subject to an outstanding Award, whether or not otherwise immediately vested, at the date of Termination of Service. Stock Options may be exercised for a period of one year following Termination of Service due to death, Disability or Retirement; provided, however , that no Stock Option shall be eligible for treatment as an ISO in the event such Stock Option is exercised more than three months following Termination of Service due to Retirement or one year following Termination of Service due to Disability and provided, further , in order to obtain ISO treatment for Stock Options exercised by heirs or devisees of an optionee, the optionee’s death must have occurred while employed or within three months of Termination of Service.
(d)    Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no Stock Option shall be exercisable beyond the last day of the original term of such Stock Option.
(e)    Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 2.8, the effect of a Change in Control on the vesting/exercisability of Stock Options and Restricted Stock is as set forth in Article 4.
ARTICLE 3 - SHARES SUBJECT TO PLAN
Section 3.1     Available Shares .  The shares of Stock with respect to which Awards may be made under the Plan shall be shares currently authorized but unissued, currently held or, to the extent permitted by applicable law, subsequently acquired by the Company as treasury shares, including shares purchased in the open market or in private transactions.
Section 3.2     Share Limitations
(a)     Share Reserve . Subject to the following provisions of this Section 3.2, the maximum number of shares of Stock that may be delivered to Participants and their beneficiaries under the Plan shall be equal to Seven Hundred Twelve Thousand Eight Hundred and Twenty-Seven (712,827) shares of Stock. The maximum number of shares of Stock that may be delivered pursuant to the exercise of Stock Options (all of which may be granted as ISOs) is Five Hundred Nine Thousand and One Hundred and Sixty-Two (509,162) shares of Stock. The maximum number of shares of Stock that may be issued as Restricted Stock Awards is Two Hundred Three Thousand Six Hundred and Sixty-Five (203,665) shares of Stock. The aggregate number of shares available for grant under this Plan and the number of shares of Stock subject to outstanding awards shall be subject to adjustment as provided in Section 3.3.
(b)     Computation of Shares Available. For purposes of this Section 3.2, the number of shares of Stock available for the granting of additional Stock Options and Restricted Stock shall be reduced by the number of shares of Stock granted. To the extent any shares of Stock covered by an Award (including Restricted Stock) under the Plan are not delivered to a Participant or beneficiary for any reason, including because the Award is forfeited or canceled or because a Stock Option is not exercised, then such shares shall not be deemed to have been delivered for purposes of determining the maximum number

    




of shares of Stock available for delivery under the Plan. To the extent (i) a Stock Option is exercised by using an actual or constructive exchange of shares of Stock to pay the Exercise Price, or (ii) shares of Stock are withheld to satisfy withholding taxes upon exercise or vesting of an Award granted hereunder, the number of shares of Stock available shall be reduced by the gross number of Stock Options exercised rather than by the net number of shares of Stock issued.
Section 3.3     Corporate Transactions
(a)     General. In the event any recapitalization, forward or reverse stock split, reorganization, merger, consolidation, spin-off, combination, repurchase, or exchange of shares of Stock or other securities, stock dividend or other special and nonrecurring dividend or distribution (whether in the form of cash, securities or other property), liquidation, dissolution, or other similar corporate transaction or event, affects the shares of Stock such that an adjustment is appropriate in order to prevent dilution or enlargement of the rights of Participants under the Plan and/or under any Award granted under the Plan, then the Committee shall, in an equitable manner, adjust any or all of (i) the number and kind of securities deemed to be available thereafter for grants of Stock Options and Restricted Stock in the aggregate to all Participants and individually to any one Participant, (ii) the number and kind of securities that may be delivered or deliverable in respect of outstanding Stock Options and Restricted Stock, and (iii) the Exercise Price of Stock Options. In addition, the Committee is authorized to make adjustments in the terms and conditions of, and the criteria included in, Stock Options and Restricted Stock (including, without limitation, cancellation of Stock Options and Restricted Stock in exchange for the in-the-money value, if any, of the vested portion thereof, or substitution or exchange of Stock Options and Restricted Stock using stock of a successor or other entity) in recognition of unusual or nonrecurring events (including, without limitation, events described in the preceding sentence) affecting the Company or any parent or Subsidiary or the financial statements of the Company or any parent or Subsidiary, or in response to changes in applicable laws, regulations, or accounting principles. Unless otherwise determined by the Committee, any such adjustment to an Award intended to qualify as “performance-based compensation” shall conform to the requirements of Code Section 162(m) and the regulations thereunder then in effect.
(b)     Merger in which Company is Not Surviving Entity. In the event of any merger, consolidation, or other business reorganization (including, but not limited to, a Change in Control) in which the Company is not the surviving entity, unless otherwise determined by the Committee at any time at or after grant and prior to the consummation of such merger, consolidation or other business reorganization, any Stock Options granted under the Plan which remain outstanding shall be converted into Stock Options to purchase voting common equity securities of the business entity which survives such merger, consolidation or other business reorganization having substantially the same terms and conditions as the outstanding Stock Options under this Plan and reflecting the same economic benefit (as measured by the difference between the aggregate Exercise Price and the value exchanged for outstanding shares of Stock in such merger, consolidation or other business reorganization), all as determined by the Committee prior to the consummation of such merger; provided, however, that the Committee may, at any time prior to the consummation of such merger, consolidation or other business reorganization, direct that all, but not less than all, outstanding Stock Options be canceled as of the effective date of such merger, consolidation or other business reorganization in exchange for a cash payment per share of Stock equal to the excess (if any) of the value exchanged for an outstanding share of Stock in such merger, consolidation or other business reorganization over the Exercise Price of the Stock Option being canceled.

Section 3.4     Delivery of Shares .  Delivery of shares of Stock or other amounts under the Plan shall be subject to the following:
(a)     Compliance with Applicable Laws.  Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan, the Company shall have no obligation to deliver any shares of Stock or make any other distribution of benefits under the Plan unless such delivery or distribution complies with all applicable laws (including, the requirements of the Securities Act), and the applicable requirements of any securities exchange or similar entity.
(b)     Certificates.  To the extent that the Plan provides for the issuance of shares of Stock, the issuance may be effected on a non-certificated basis, to the extent not prohibited by applicable law or the applicable rules of any stock exchange.
ARTICLE 4 - CHANGE IN CONTROL
Section 4.1     Consequence of a Change in Control . Subject to the provisions of Section 2.5 (relating to vesting and acceleration) and Section 3.3 (relating to the adjustment of shares), and except as otherwise provided in the Plan

    




or as determined by the Committee and set forth in the terms of any Award Agreement or as set forth in an employment agreement entered into by and between the Company and/or the Bank and an Employee:
(a)      At the time of an Involuntary Termination of Employment (as defined in Section 8.1) (or, as to a Director, Termination of Service as a Director) following a Change in Control, all Stock Options then held by the Participant shall become fully exercisable (subject to the expiration provisions otherwise applicable to the Stock Option).
(b)      At the time of an Involuntary Termination of Employment (as defined in Section 8.1) (or, as to a Director, Termination of Service as a Director) following a Change in Control, all Awards of Restricted Stock described in Section 2.1(b) shall be fully earned and vested immediately. Notwithstanding the above, any Awards the vesting of which are based on satisfaction of performance-based conditions will be vested as specified in subsection (c) hereof.
(c)    In the event of a Change in Control, any performance measure attached to an Award under the Plan shall be deemed satisfied as of the date of the Change in Control.
Section 4.2     Definition of Change in Control .  For purposes of the Plan, unless otherwise provided in an Award Agreement, a “Change in Control” shall be deemed to have occurred upon the earliest to occur of the following:
(a)     Merger : The Company or the Bank merges into or consolidates with another entity, or merges another bank or corporation into the Company or the Bank, and as a result, less than a majority of the combined voting power of the resulting corporation immediately after the merger or consolidation is held by persons who were stockholders of the Company or the Bank immediately before the merger or consolidation;
(b)     Acquisition of Significant Share Ownership : A person or persons acting in concert has or have become the beneficial owner of 25% or more of a class of the Company’s or the Bank’s voting securities; provided, however, this clause (b) shall not apply to beneficial ownership of the Company’s or the Bank’s voting shares held in a fiduciary capacity by an entity of which the Company directly or indirectly beneficially owns 50% or more of its outstanding voting securities;
(c)     Change in Board Composition : During any period of two consecutive years, individuals who constitute the Company’s or the Bank’s Board of Directors at the beginning of the two-year period cease for any reason to constitute at least a majority of the Company’s or the Bank’s Board of Directors; provided, however, that for purposes of this clause (c), each director who is first elected by the board (or first nominated by the board for election by the stockholders or incorporators) by a vote of at least two-thirds (2/3) of the directors who were directors at the beginning of the two-year period shall be deemed to have also been a director at the beginning of such period; or
(d)     Sale of Assets : The Company or the Bank sells to a third party all or substantially all of its assets.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Change in Control shall not be deemed to occur solely because any Person (the “Subject Person”) acquired beneficial ownership of more than the permitted amount of the then outstanding common stock or Voting Securities as a result of a change in the number of shares of Stock or Voting Securities then outstanding, which thereby increases the proportional number of shares beneficially owned by the Subject Person; provided, however , that if a Change in Control would occur (but for the operation of this sentence) as a result of the acquisition of Stock or Voting Securities by the Company, and after such share acquisition by the Company, the Subject Person becomes the beneficial owner of any additional Stock or Voting Securities which increases the percentage of the then outstanding Stock or Voting Securities beneficially owned by the Subject Person, then a Change in Control shall occur. In the event that an Award constitutes Deferred Compensation, and the settlement of, or distribution of benefits under, such Award is to be triggered solely by a Change in Control, then with respect to such Award, a Change in Control shall be defined as required under Code Section 409A, as in effect at the time of such transaction.
ARTICLE 5 - COMMITTEE
Section 5.1     Administration . The Plan shall be administered by the members of the Compensation Committee of the Company who are Disinterested Board Members. If the Committee consists of fewer than two Disinterested Board Members, then the Board shall appoint to the Committee such additional Disinterested Board Members as shall be necessary to provide for a Committee consisting of at least three Disinterested Board Members.

Section 5.5     Committee Action . The Committee shall hold such meetings, and may make such administrative rules and regulations, as it may deem proper. A majority of the members of the Committee shall constitute a quorum, and the action of a majority of the members of the Committee present at a meeting at which a quorum is present, as well as actions taken pursuant to the unanimous written consent of all of the members of the Committee without holding a meeting, shall be deemed to be actions of the Committee. Subject to Section 5.1, all actions of the Committee shall be final and conclusive and shall be binding upon the Company, Participants and all other interested parties.

be fully protected in relying upon any written notice, instruction, direction or other communication signed by a member of the Committee or by a representative of the Committee authorized to sign the same in its behalf.
ARTICLE 6 - AMENDMENT AND TERMINATION
Section 6.1     General .  The Board may, as permitted by law, at any time, amend or terminate the Plan, and may amend any Award Agreement, provided that no amendment or termination (except as provided in Section 2.6, Section 3.3 and Section 6.2) may cause the Award to violate Code Section 409A, or, in the absence of written consent to the change by the affected Participant (or, if the Participant is not then living, the affected beneficiary), adversely impair the rights of any Participant or beneficiary under any Award granted under the Plan prior to the date such amendment is adopted by the Board; provided, however , that, no amendment may (a) materially increase the benefits accruing to Participants under the Plan, (b) materially increase the aggregate number of securities which may be issued under the Plan, other than pursuant to Section 3.3, or (c) materially modify the requirements for participation in the Plan, unless the amendment under (a), (b) or (c) above is approved by the Company’s stockholders.
Section 6.2     Amendment to Conform to Law and Accounting Changes .  Notwithstanding any provision in this Plan or any Award Agreement to the contrary, the Committee may amend the Plan or any Award Agreement, to take effect retroactively or otherwise, as deemed necessary or advisable for the purpose of (i) conforming the Plan or the Award Agreement to any present or future law relating to plans of this or similar nature (including, but not limited to, Code Section 409A), or (ii) avoiding an accounting treatment resulting from an accounting pronouncement or interpretation thereof issued by the SEC or Financial Accounting Standards Board subsequent to the adoption of the Plan or the making of the Award affected thereby, which, in the sole discretion of the Committee, may materially and adversely affect the financial condition or results of operations of the Company. By accepting an Award under this Plan, each Participant agrees and consents to any amendment made pursuant to this Section 6.2 or Section 2.6 to any Award granted under the Plan without further consideration or action.
ARTICLE 7 - GENERAL TERMS
Section 7.1     No Implied Rights .
(a)     No Rights to Specific Assets.  Neither a Participant nor any other person shall by reason of participation in the Plan acquire any right in or title to any assets, funds or property of the Company or any Subsidiary whatsoever, including any specific funds, assets, or other property which the Company or any Subsidiary, in its sole discretion, may set aside in anticipation of a liability under the Plan.  A Participant shall have only a contractual right to the shares of Stock or amounts, if any, payable or distributable under the Plan, unsecured by any assets of the Company or any Subsidiary, and nothing contained in the Plan shall constitute a guarantee that the assets of the Company or any Subsidiary shall be sufficient to pay any benefits to any person.
(b)     No Contractual Right to Employment or Future Awards.  The Plan does not constitute a contract of employment, and selection as a Participant will not give any participating Employee the right to be retained in the employ of the Company or any Subsidiary or any right or claim to any benefit under the Plan, unless such right or claim has specifically accrued under the terms of the Plan.  No individual shall have the right to be selected to receive an Award under the Plan, or, having been so selected, to receive a future Award under the Plan.
(c)     No Rights as a Stockholder . Except as otherwise provided in the Plan, no Award under the Plan shall confer upon the holder thereof any rights as a stockholder of the Company prior to the date on which the individual fulfills all conditions for receipt of such rights.
Section 7.2     Transferability .  Except as otherwise so provided by the Committee, ISOs under the Plan are not transferable except (i) as designated by the Participant by will or by the laws of descent and distribution, (ii) to a trust established by the Participant, if under Code Section 671 and applicable state law, the Participant is considered the sole beneficial owner of the Stock Option while held in trust, or (iii) between spouses incident to a divorce or pursuant to a domestic relations order, provided, however, in the case of a transfer within the meaning of this Section 7.2(iii), the Stock Option shall not qualify as an ISO as of the day of such transfer. The Committee shall have the discretion to permit the transfer of Stock Options (other than ISOs) under the Plan; provided, however, that such transfers shall be limited to Immediate Family Members of Participants, trusts and partnerships established for the primary benefit of such family

    




members or to charitable organizations, and; provided, further, that such transfers are not made for consideration to the Participant.
Awards of Restricted Stock shall not be transferable prior to the time that such Awards vest in the Participant.
Section 7.3     Designation of Beneficiaries .  A Participant hereunder may file with the Company a written designation of a beneficiary or beneficiaries under this Plan and may from time to time revoke or amend any such designation (“Beneficiary Designation”). Any designation of beneficiary under this Plan shall be controlling over any other disposition, testamentary or otherwise (unless such disposition is pursuant to a domestic relations order); provided, however, that if the Committee is in doubt as to the entitlement of any such beneficiary to any Award, the Committee may determine to recognize only the legal representative of the Participant, in which case the Company, the Committee and the members thereof shall not be under any further liability to anyone.
Section 7.4     Non-Exclusivity .  Neither the adoption of this Plan by the Board nor the submission of the Plan to the stockholders of the Company for approval shall be construed as creating any limitations on the power of the Board or the Committee to adopt such other incentive arrangements as either may deem desirable, including, without limitation, the granting of Restricted Stock or Stock Options otherwise than under the Plan or an arrangement that is or is not intended to qualify under Code Section 162(m), and such arrangements may be either generally applicable or applicable only in specific cases.
Section 7.5     Award Agreement .  Each Award granted under the Plan shall be evidenced by an Award Agreement signed by the Participant. A copy of the Award Agreement, in any medium chosen by the Committee, shall be provided (or made available electronically) to the Participant.
Section 7.6     Form and Time of Elections .  Unless otherwise specified herein, each election required or permitted to be made by any Participant or other person entitled to benefits under the Plan, and any permitted modification or revocation thereof, shall be filed with the Company at such times, in such form, and subject to such restrictions and limitations, not inconsistent with the terms of the Plan, as the Committee shall require.
Section 7.7     Evidence .  Evidence required of anyone under the Plan may be by certificate, affidavit, document or other information upon which the person is acting considers pertinent and reliable, and signed, made or presented by the proper party or parties.
Section 7.8     Tax Withholding .  Where a Participant is entitled to receive shares of Stock upon the vesting or exercise of an Award, the Company shall have the right to require such Participant to pay to the Company the amount of any tax that the Company is required to withhold with respect to such vesting or exercise, or, in lieu thereof, to retain, or to sell without notice, a sufficient number of shares of Stock to cover the minimum amount required to be withheld. To the extent determined by the Committee and specified in an Award Agreement, a Participant shall have the right to direct the Company to satisfy the minimum required federal, state and local tax withholding by: (i) with respect to a Stock Option settled in stock, reducing the number of shares of Stock subject to the Stock Option (without issuance of such shares of Stock to the Stock Option holder) by a number equal to the quotient of (a) the total minimum amount of required tax withholding divided by (b) the excess of the Fair Market Value of a share of Stock on the exercise date over the Exercise Price per share of Stock; and (ii) with respect to Restricted Stock, withholding a number of shares (based on the Fair Market Value on the vesting date) otherwise vesting that would satisfy the minimum amount of required tax withholding. Provided there are no adverse accounting consequences to the Company (a requirement to have liability classification of an award under Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) Topic 718) is an adverse consequence), a Participant who is not required to have taxes withheld may require the Company to withhold in accordance with the preceding sentence as if the Award were subject to minimum tax withholding requirements.
Section 7.9     Action by Company or Subsidiary .  Any action required or permitted to be taken by the Company or any Subsidiary shall be by resolution of its board of directors, or by action of one or more members of the Board (including a committee of the Board) who are duly authorized to act for the Board, or (except to the extent prohibited by applicable law or applicable rules of any stock exchange) by a duly authorized officer of the Company or such Subsidiary.
Section 7.10     Successors .  All obligations of the Company under the Plan shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of any successor to the Company, whether the existence of such successor is the result of a direct or indirect purchase, merger, consolidation or otherwise, of all or substantially all of the business, stock, and/or assets of the Company.

    




Section 7.11     Indemnification .  To the fullest extent permitted by law and the Company’s governing documents, each person who is or shall have been a member of the Committee, or of the Board, or an officer of the Company to whom authority was delegated in accordance with Section 5.3, or an Employee of the Company, shall be indemnified and held harmless by the Company against and from any loss (including amounts paid in settlement), cost, liability or expense (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) that may be imposed upon or reasonably incurred by him or her in connection with or resulting from any claim, action, suit, or proceeding to which he or she may be a party or in which he or she may be involved by reason of any action taken or failure to act under the Plan and against and from any and all amounts paid by him or her in settlement thereof, with the Company’s approval, or paid by him or her in satisfaction of any judgment in any such action, suit, or proceeding against him or her, provided he or she shall give the Company an opportunity, at its own expense, to handle and defend the same before he or she undertakes to handle and defend it on his or her own behalf, unless such loss, cost, liability, or expense is a result of his or her own willful misconduct or except as expressly provided by statute or regulation. The foregoing right of indemnification shall not be exclusive of any other rights of indemnification to which such persons may be entitled under the Company’s charter or bylaws, as a matter of law, or otherwise, or any power that the Company may have to indemnify them or hold them harmless.
Section 7.12     No Fractional Shares .  Unless otherwise permitted by the Committee, no fractional shares of Stock shall be issued or delivered pursuant to the Plan or any Award. The Committee shall determine whether cash or other property shall be issued or paid in lieu of fractional shares or whether such fractional shares or any rights thereto shall be forfeited or otherwise eliminated.
Section 7.13     Governing Law .  The Plan, all Awards granted hereunder, and all actions taken in connection herewith shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Wisconsin without reference to principles of conflict of laws, except as superseded by applicable federal law. The federal and state courts located in the State of Wisconsin, shall have exclusive jurisdiction over any claim, action, complaint or lawsuit brought under the terms of the Plan. By accepting any award under this Plan, each Participant and any other person claiming any rights under the Plan agrees to submit himself and any legal action that the Participant brings under the Plan, to the sole jurisdiction of such courts for the adjudication and resolution of any such disputes.
Section 7.14     Benefits Under Other Plans .  Except as otherwise provided by the Committee or as set forth in a Qualified Retirement Plan, Awards to a Participant (including the grant and the receipt of benefits) under the Plan shall be disregarded for purposes of determining the Participant’s benefits under, or contributions to, any Qualified Retirement Plan, non-qualified plan and any other benefit plans maintained by the Participant’s employer. The term “Qualified Retirement Plan” means any plan of the Company or a Subsidiary that is intended to be qualified under Code Section 401(a).
Section 7.15     Validity .  If any provision of this Plan is determined to be illegal or invalid for any reason, said illegality or invalidity shall not affect the remaining parts hereof, but this Plan shall be construed and enforced as if such illegal or invalid provision has never been included herein.
Section 7.16     Notice .  Unless otherwise provided in an Award Agreement, all written notices and all other written communications to the Company provided for in the Plan or in any Award Agreement, shall be delivered personally or sent by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid (provided that international mail shall be sent via overnight or two-day delivery), or sent by facsimile, email or prepaid overnight courier to the Company at its principal executive office.

In the event a communication is not received, it shall only be deemed received upon the showing of an original of the applicable receipt, registration or confirmation from the applicable delivery service. Communications that are to be delivered by U.S. mail or by overnight service to the Company shall be directed to the attention of the Company’s Chief Operating Officer and to the Corporate Secretary.

    




Section 7.17      Forfeiture Events .
(a)    The Committee may specify in an Award Agreement that the Participant’s rights, payments, and benefits with respect to an Award shall be subject to reduction, cancellation, forfeiture or recoupment upon the occurrence of certain specified events, in addition to any otherwise applicable vesting or performance conditions of an Award. Such events include, but are not limited to, termination of employment for cause, termination of the Participant’s provisions of Services to the Company or any Subsidiary, violation of material Company or Subsidiary policies, breach of noncompetition, confidentiality, or other restrictive covenants that may apply to the Participant, or other conduct of the Participant that is detrimental to the business or reputation of the Company or any Subsidiary.

(V)      Except to the extent Section 409A of the Code may be applicable to an Award, and subject to the foregoing paragraphs of this sub-section (hh), the Committee shall have discretion to determine if a Termination of Service has occurred and the date on which it occurred. In the event that any Award under the Plan constitutes Deferred Compensation (as defined in Section 2.6 hereof), the term Termination of Service shall be interpreted by the Committee in a manner consistent with the definition of “Separation from Service” as defined under Code Section 409A and under Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(h)(ii).
