ITEM 5.04 Temporary Suspension of Trading Under Registrant’s Employee Benefit Plans.
On November 30, 2010, CFS Bancorp, Inc. (the “Company”) provided a notice to its executive officers and directors informing them of a blackout period for the Company’s Employee Stock Ownership Plan (the “ESOP”) and the trading restrictions that apply to them during the blackout period. This notice was required pursuant to Section 306 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and the Securities and Exchange Commission’s Regulation BTR, which prohibit trading in the Company’s securities by executive officers and directors during blackout periods.
The blackout period is required due to the merger of the ESOP into the Citizens Financial Bank 401(k) Retirement Plan. The blackout period will begin at 3:00 p.m. (Central time) on December 31, 2010 and ends during the week of January 23, 2011. During the blackout period and for a period of two years after the ending date of the blackout period, security holders or other interested persons may obtain, without charge, information about the actual beginning and ending dates of the blackout period by contacting the Company’s Senior Vice President - Human Resources at Citizens Financial Bank, 707 Ridge Road, Munster, IN 46321, (219) 836-5500.
