Item 8.01. Other Events.

Acceleration of Stock Appreciation Rights and Grant of Options

On March 24, 2011, the Compensation Committee of Northeast Bancorp (“Northeast”) voted to accelerate the exercisability of the 40,502 stock appreciation rights originally granted to Matthew Botein, a director of Northeast, on December 29, 2010, that were subject to certain time-based restrictions on exercisability (the “Time-Based Stock Appreciation Rights”). The Time-Based Stock Appreciation Rights became immediately exercisable and were exercised by Mr. Botein on March 24, 2011. In addition, on March 24, 2011, Northeast entered into an Amended and Restated Performance-Based Stock Appreciation Rights Agreement with Mr. Botein (the “Amended Agreement”) with respect to the 40,503 stock appreciation rights originally granted to Mr. Botein on December 29, 2010, that are subject to certain performance-based restrictions on exercisability, which per the Amended Agreement will become automatically exercisable (and shall be exercised) for $0.59 per share (the difference between $14.52 and $13.93) in the event that relevant performance thresholds are satisfied. A copy of the Amended Agreement is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1, the terms of which are incorporated herein by reference.

In connection with the exercise of the 40,502 Time-Based Stock Appreciation Rights and execution of the Amended Agreement, on March 24, 2011, Northeast granted Mr. Botein an option to purchase 81,005 shares of Northeast’s non-voting common stock with an exercise price of $14.52 per share. 40,502 of the options granted to Mr. Botein (the “Time-Based Option Award”) will become exercisable in five equal annual installments commencing on December 29, 2010, and 40,503 of the options (the “Performance-Based Option Award”) will become exercisable upon the satisfaction of certain performance conditions.

The Time-Based Option Award and the Performance-Based Option Award are evidenced by agreements, copies of which are attached hereto as Exhibit 10.2 and 10.3, respectively, the terms of which are incorporated herein by reference.
