On November 18, 2014, Fraternity Community Bancorp, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into an Agreement (the “Agreement”) with Stilwell Value Partners II, L.P., Stilwell Value Partners VII, L.P., Stilwell Activist Fund, L.P., Stilwell Activist Investments, L.P., Stilwell Partners, L.P., Stilwell Value LLC and Joseph Stilwell (collectively, the “Stilwell Group”) and Corissa J. Briglia. The Stilwell Group owns approximately 8.1% of the outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock.

The Agreement provides that the Company and its wholly owned subsidiary, Fraternity Federal Savings and Loan Association (the “Bank”), will be expanded by one Board seat, and Ms. Briglia will be appointed as a director of the Company and the Bank, to the class of directors with terms expiring at the annual meeting of shareholders.

During the term of the Agreement, which is scheduled to continue through the date of the Company’s annual meeting of shareholders in 2016, the Stilwell Group and Ms. Briglia will not, among other things, solicit proxies in opposition to any recommendations or proposals of the Company’s Board of Directors, initiate or solicit shareholder proposals or seek to place any additional representatives on the Company’s Board of Directors other than Ms. Briglia (or any replacement director selected by the Stilwell Group in the event Ms. Briglia’s position as a director of the Company or the Bank is terminated during the term of the Agreement due to her resignation, death, permanent disability or otherwise), oppose any proposal or director nomination submitted by the Board of Directors to the Company’s shareholders, vote for any nominee to the Company’s Board of Directors other than those nominated or supported by the Board of Directors, seek to exercise any control or influence over the management of the Company or the Boards of Directors of the Company or the Bank (although nothing in the Agreement will prevent Ms. Briglia, from expressing her views to other members of the Board at duly convened meetings of the Boards of Directors), propose or seek to effect a merger or sale of the Company or initiate litigation against the Company. The Stilwell Group also agreed not to acquire any additional shares of the outstanding Company common stock and, at any Company annual or special meeting of shareholders during the term of the Agreement, to vote all shares of Company common stock it beneficially owns: in favor of the nominees for election or reelection as a director of the Company selected by the Company’s Board of Directors; and, with respect to any other proposal submitted by any Company shareholder, in accordance with the recommendation of the Company’s Board of Directors.

Upon Ms. Briglia’s appointment and commencement of service as a director, the parties will also enter into a Non-Disclosure Agreement, in the form attached to the Agreement, providing that the Stilwell Group will maintain the confidentiality of any non-public information regarding the Company or the Bank in full compliance with federal securities laws. In the event the Agreement is terminated prior to the Company’s annual meeting of shareholders in 2016, Ms. Briglia will be required to resign from the Boards of Directors of the Company and the Bank.

The foregoing description is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Agreement, which is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.
