Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance

Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 requires that the Company’s executive officers and directors, as well as persons who own 10% or more of a class of the Company’s equity securities, file reports of their ownership of the Company’s securities, as well as statements of changes in such ownership, with the SEC. The Company believes that all such filings required during 2010 were made on a timely basis.

Audit Committee

The Audit Committee of the Board of Directors is responsible for the oversight of the Company’s financial and accounting reporting processes and the audits of the Company’s financial statements. The Audit Committee is currently composed of three non-employee directors and operates under a written charter adopted and approved by the Board of Directors. Jerry Grace, Chairman, Larry Willis and Robert Acri make up the Board’s Audit Committee. A copy of the current Audit Committee Charter can be viewed on our Web site at www.optimumbank.com/corpgovernance.html.

The Board has determined that each member of the Audit Committee is financially literate and independent in accordance with the more stringent NASDAQ listing standards applicable to audit committee members. The Board considered that Mr. Willis is an executive officer of an insurance agency which is used by the Company to obtain commercial property and liability insurance. The Board determined that such payments are not indirect compensatory fees to Mr. Willis, and Mr. Willis is therefore independent under the standards applicable to audit committee members. The Board also has determined that Jerry Grace is an “audit committee financial expert” as defined by SEC rules.

Code of Ethics for Senior Executive Officers

The Company has a Code of Ethics that applies to its chief executive officer, chief operating officer, chief financial officer (who is also its chief accounting officer) and controller, a copy of which is incorporated by reference into this Form 10-K as Exhibit 14.1. This Code of Ethics is also posted on our website at www.optimumbank.com/corpgovernance.html.

Item 11. Executive Compensation

Director Compensation

Mr. Browdy, as a salaried employee in 2010, received no compensation for serving as a director, except that he, like all directors, was eligible to receive reimbursement of reasonable expenses incurred in attending Board and committee meetings. During fiscal year 2010, each director, other than Mr. Browdy, received compensation for serving on the Board of Directors and committees of the Board as follows:

 

   

A fee of $500 for each Company regularly scheduled monthly meeting attended. Since the Boards of the Company and the Bank generally meet on the same day for their regularly scheduled monthly meetings, no meeting fees are paid for attendance by Bank directors at Bank board meetings. No meeting fees are paid for attendance at special Board or Board committee meetings.

Termination of Employment Agreement. The Company is a party to a stock purchase agreement with Richard Browdy and Albert Finch which provides for the purchase and ownership by Mr. Browdy of a $500,000 life insurance policy on Albert Finch, with the annual premiums for such policy reimbursable by the Company. Upon Mr. Finch’s death, Mr. Browdy is required to purchase with the proceeds of the policy any of the Company’s common shares held in Mr. Finch’s estate at the greater of $6.75 per share or the fair market value of the shares. The agreement does not prevent Mr. Finch from transferring any of his Company stock prior to his death. In the event that the aggregate purchase price is less than the death benefit, Mr. Browdy is entitled to the excess proceeds. Mr. Browdy vests in the shares over his five-year period of employment following Mr. Finch’s death, with 40% vesting after the first year, and 15% each year thereafter. For a period of five years after Mr. Finch’s death, if Mr. Browdy’s employment is terminated for cause or voluntarily by Mr. Browdy, the Company has the right to purchase any non-vested shares from Mr. Browdy for $1,000.

Change of Control Agreement. The Company’s stock option plan provides for the accelerated vesting of stock options in the event of a change of control of the Company as defined in the plan.

Item 13. Certain Relationships and Related Transactions, and Director Independence

Certain Relationships and Related Transactions

The following are transactions or proposed transactions in which the Company was or is a party, in which the amount involved exceeded $120,000, and in which a director, director nominee, executive officer, holder of more than 5% of our Common Stock or any member of the immediate family of any of the foregoing persons had or will have a direct or indirect material interest.

Loans to Officers, Directors and Affiliates. The Bank offers loans in the ordinary course of business to its directors and employees, including executive officers, their related interests and immediate family members. Applicable law and Bank policy require that these loans be on substantially the same terms, including interest rates and collateral, as those prevailing at the time for comparable transactions with unrelated parties, and must not involve more than the normal risk of repayment or present other unfavorable features. Loans to individual employees, directors and executive officers must also comply with the Company’s lending policies and statutory lending limits, and directors with a personal interest in any loan application are excluded from the consideration of such loan application.

None of the current directors or executive officers of the Company or the Bank have loans outstanding from the Company.

Legal Services From Wendy Mitchler. Since 2000, the Company has retained Wendy Mitchler, Attorney at Law, as general counsel. Wendy Mitchler, a director of the Company, is the owner of the law firm of Wendy Mitchler, Attorney at Law. During 2010 and 2009, the Company paid the law firm approximately $220,180 and $104,500, respectively, in legal fees for various legal matters. In addition, payments totaling approximately $900 in 2009 were made by borrowers to the law firm in connection with loan closings for the Bank.

Employment of Michel Vogel. Michel Vogel, who is the son-in-law of Richard Browdy, the Company’s President and director, is employed by the Bank as Vice President, Lending, and Senior Relationship Manager. He was paid approximately $103,578 and $90,640 for his services during 2010 and in 2009, respectively. In September 2010, Mr. Vogel’s annual base salary was increased to $135,000.

Consulting Services from Sam Borek. Since December 2009, the Company has paid Sam Borek, Chairman of the Board, a monthly consulting fee of $14,000 in consideration of Mr. Borek’s assumption of increased responsibilities due to the former Chief Executive Officer’s retirement in November 2009 with no other individual assuming that position. Amounts paid as consulting fees to Mr. Borek in 2009 and 2010 were $14,000 and $168,000, respectively. There is no written agreement between the Company and Mr. Borek regarding the amount or continuation of such fees.

Directors’ Independence

The Board of Directors analyzed the independence of each director and determined that the following directors meet the standards of independence of applicable NASDAQ Stock Market (“NASDAQ”) listing standards: Larry Willis, Jerry Grace and Robert Acri. The Board considered that Mr. Willis is an executive officer of an insurance agency which is used by the Company to obtain commercial property and liability insurance. Richard L. Browdy, who is an employee of the Company, Wendy Mitchler, who serves as outside counsel for the Company, and Sam Borek, Chairman of the Board, who also serves as a consultant for the Company, are not considered independent directors.

Committee Members’ Independence

Compensation Committee. The Compensation Committee consists of Larry Willis, Chair, and Jerry Grace and Robert Acri, all of whom are considered independent under the NASDAQ listing standards. The Compensation Committee operates under written charter adopted and approved by the Board of Directors. A copy of the current Compensation Committee Charter can be viewed on our Web site at www.optimumbank.com/corpgovernance.html.

Nominating Committee. The Company has no formal nominating committee or nominating committee charter but, rather, the three independent members of the Board, Messrs. Larry Willis, Jerry Grace and Robert Acri, perform the functions of a nominating committee.

Audit Committee. Jerry Grace, Chair, Larry Willis and Robert Acri make up the Board’s Audit Committee. The Board has determined that each member of the Audit Committee is independent in accordance with the more stringent NASDAQ standards applicable to members of audit committees. The Board considered that Mr. Willis is an executive officer of an insurance agency which is used by the Company to obtain commercial property and liability insurance. The Board determined that such payments are not indirect compensatory fees to Mr. Willis, and Mr. Willis is therefore independent under the standards applicable to audit committee members.
