Item 2.02Results of Operations and Financial Condition.

Lake Shore Bancorp, Inc. (the “Company”) issued a press release on January 28,  2016 disclosing its results of operations and financial condition for the fourth quarter of 2015 and certain other information.

A copy of the press release is attached as Exhibit 99.1 hereto.

Item 8.01Other Events.

Lake Shore, MHC (the “MHC”), the mutual holding company that owns 60.6% of the Company’s outstanding common stock, will hold a special meeting of its members on February 3, 2016. The purpose of the meeting is to vote on a proposal to authorize the MHC to waive its right to receive dividends aggregating up to $0.28 per share that may be declared by the Company in the 12 months subsequent to the approval of the proposal by members. As a result of the timing of the member vote, the Company’s Board of Directors expects the payment of its quarterly cash dividend to be made in March 2016.

There can be no assurance that the members will approve the dividend waiver or that the Federal Reserve will not object to the waiver even if it is approved by members at the special meeting.  If the proposed dividend waiver is not approved by members or the Federal Reserve, the Board of Directors of the Company intends to reduce the proposed quarterly dividend from $0.07 per outstanding share to $0.04 per outstanding share.
