(e)           Employment Agreements.  On July 1, 2011, Wolverine Bank entered into amended and restated employment agreements, effective as of July 1, 2011, with David H. Dunn, President and Chief Executive Officer, and Rick A. Rosinski, Chief Operating Officer and Treasurer.  The terms of the agreements were previously disclosed in the registrant’s final prospectus filed with the SEC on November 23, 2010.  The agreements provide for a three-year term for Mr. Dunn and a two-year term for Mr. Rosinski.  The agreements may be extended on an annual basis, unless written notice of non-renewal is given by the Board of Directors of Wolverine Bank.

Under the agreements, the base salary for Mr. Dunn is $210,000 and $120,000 for Mr. Rosinski.   In addition to base salary, the agreements provide for, among other things, the executive’s right to participate in employee benefit plans and to receive fringe benefits applicable to senior executives.  Upon termination of the executive’s employment for cause, as defined in the agreements, the executives would have no right to receive compensation or other benefits for any period after termination.  The executives are entitled to severance payments and benefits in the event of their termination of employment under specified circumstances, including their termination by Wolverine Bank for reasons other than for cause, disability or death, or in the event the executive resigns within 90 days following a good reason, as defined in the agreements.

In the event of the executive’s involuntary termination or resignation following a good reason, Mr. Dunn would be entitled to receive his base salary and the additional contributions that he would have earned under the Wolverine Bank 401(k) plan and ESOP for a period of up to 36 months (24 months for Mr. Rosinski), provided, however, that the executive’s payments will be reduced by the salary received from another employer if he becomes employed by a third party during such 36 month period (24 month period for Mr. Rosinski).  In addition, the executive will continue to receive vesting credit under any outstanding stock option or equity grant during the term the executive is receiving cash severance payments.  Mr. Dunn would be entitled to the continuation of his life, medical, and dental coverage for 36 months (24 months for Mr. Rosinski) following his termination date, provided however that such benefits will cease immediately upon the date on which Wolverine Bank is no longer obligated to provide the executive with his severance payments as described above.  Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code may require that a portion of the above severance payments cannot be made until six months after termination of employment if the executive is a “specified employee” as defined under Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code.

In the event of a change in control, followed within 12 months by the executive’s termination for a reason other than for cause or if the executive terminates voluntarily under specified circumstances that constitute a good reason constructive termination (as defined in each of the agreements), Mr. Dunn will receive an amount equal to three times (two times for Mr. Rosinski) his base salary and the amount of contributions that would have been earned under the Wolverine Bank 401(k) plan and ESOP for three years (two years for Mr. Rosinski), payable in a lump sum.  Wolverine Bank will also continue to pay for each executive’s life, health and dental coverage for up to three years (two years for Mr. Rosinski).
