ITEM 5.02 DEPARTURE OF DIRECTORS OR CERTAIN OFFICERS; ELECTION OF DIRECTORS;
APPOINTMENT OF CERTAIN OFFICERS; COMPENSATORY ARRANGEMENTS OF
CERTAIN OFFICERS
(b) On July 27, 2009, John R. Male retired as President of PVF Service
Corporation, a wholly owned subsidiary of PVF Capital Corp. (the
"Company").
(c) On July 27, 2009, the Company appointed Robert J. King, Jr. as
president and chief executive officer of the Company and Park View
Federal Savings Bank (the "Bank"), subject to and effective upon
receipt of Office of Thrift Supervison ("OTS") approval. Mr. King will
succeed Marty E. Adams, who has been serving as interim chief executive
officer of the Company and the Bank. Mr. King, age 54, most recently
served as senior managing director of FSI Group, LLC, a private equity
operation focused on investing in the financial sector since 2004.
Previously, Mr. King held numerous positions with Fifth Third Bank,
which he joined in 1975. During his tenure with the Cincinnati-based
company, he served as vice president of Institutional Asset
Administration, director of marketing, commercial lending officer,
customer service manager and marketing research specialist. In 1989, he
joined Fifth Third Bank (Northeastern Ohio) as an executive vice
president and was promoted to president and chief executive officer the
following year. In 1997, Fifth Third Bank's board of directors
appointed Mr. King chairman of the board of Fifth Third Bank
(Northeastern Ohio), a position he held until his retirement in 2004.
Mr. King was also an executive vice president of Fifth Third Bancorp
and regional president of its affiliates in Toledo, Dayton, Columbus
and southern Ohio. Mr. King is a director of The Andersons, Inc. and
Shiloh Industries, Inc., companies with a class of securities
registered under Section 12(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934,
as amended.
In connection with Mr. King's appointment as chief executive officer of
the Company and the Bank, the Company and the Bank entered into an
employment agreement with Mr. King, the terms and effectiveness of
which are subject to OTS approval (the "Employment Agreement"). Under
the Employment Agreement, whose term will commence upon receipt of
approval or non-objection of the OTS and the Federal Deposit Insurance
Corporation and will continue for 36 months thereafter, Mr. King will
serve as president and chief executive officer of the Company and the
Bank. In the event approval or non-objection is not received within 90
days of the date of the Employment Agreement, it will be void and
without effect. At the third anniversary of the effective date, the
Employment Agreement will be extended for one year unless the Board
elects not to extend it. The Employment Agreement provides for a base
salary of $300,000 for the first year, $325,000 for the second year and
$350,000 for the third year. The Employment Agreement provides that Mr.
King will be eligible for certain bonus and incentive compensation,
except with respect to the Company's fiscal year ending June 30, 2010,
and is entitled to participate in all employee benefit plans and
programs, vacation and leave policies, and expense reimbursement. The
Employment Agreement provides that the Compensation Committee will take
action on the effective date of the Employment Agreement to grant
240,000 shares of restricted Company common stock to Mr. King, which
will vest in five equal installments beginning on the first anniversary
of the effective date. Under the Employment Agreement, Mr. King may be
terminated upon death, retirement, disability, for "Cause," voluntarily
by Mr. King, or without "Cause" or with "Good Reason," as defined in
the Employment Agreement. Mr. King is entitled to certain payments upon
termination, as provided in the Employment Agreement. In the event of
termination of employment, the Employment Agreement subjects Mr. King
to certain non-solicitation and confidentiality requirements. The
Employment Agreement provides that Mr. King shall not be deemed to have
been terminated unless and until there has been a "Separation from
Service," in accordance with Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code
of 1986, as amended (the "Code"). In the event the payments made to Mr.
King in connection with a change in control exceed his Section 280G
limit under the Code, the Employment Agreement provides that the
payments or benefits will be reduced to the extent necessary to avoid
treatment as an "excess parachute payment." The Employment Agreement
provides for the indemnification of Mr. King to the fullest extent
permitted under applicable law against any expenses and liabilities
reasonably incurred in connection with or arising out of any action,
suit or proceeding in which he may be involved by reason of his service
as a director or officer of the Company or Bank.
(d) On July 27, 2009, the Company appointed Thomas J. Smith and Marty E.
Adams as directors of the Company, subject to and effective upon
receipt of OTS approval.
Mr. Adams has been Interim Chief Executive Officer of the Company and
the Bank since March 2009. Most recently prior to that, Mr. Adams
served as president and chief operating officer of Huntington
Bancshares, Inc. ("Huntington") from July 2007 until December 2007
following Huntington's acquisition of Sky Financial Group, Inc.
("Sky"). Mr. Adams previously served as the chairman and chief
executive officer of Sky.
Thomas J. Smith was appointed vice president and chief financial
officer of Energy West, Incorporated ("Energy West") in November 2007.
He has been a director of Energy West since December 2003. He also
served as Energy West's interim president from August 2007 to November
2007. From 1998 to 2006, he was the president, chief operating officer
and a director of John D. Oil and Gas Company, a publicly held oil and
gas exploration company in Mentor, Ohio, of which he remains a
director. Since 2003, he has been president, treasurer and secretary of
Northeast Ohio Natural Gas Corporation, a natural gas distribution
company in Mentor, Ohio, and since 2002 he has been president,
treasurer and secretary of Orwell Natural Gas Company, a natural gas
distribution company in Mentor, Ohio. He is also a director of Corning
Natural Gas Corporation, a public utility company in Corning, New York.
Mr. Smith was appointed as a director at the request of Richard M.
Osborne pursuant to the Agreement, dated September 30, 2008 (the
"Osborne Agreement"), among the Company, the Bank, Richard M. Osborne
and Richard M. Osborne Trust Agreement. The Osborne Agreement provides
that, subject to any limitation imposed by law or by any regulatory
authority having jurisdiction over the Company or the Bank, in the
event that any time prior to the scheduled expiration of his initial
term as a director, Mr. Osborne is unable to serve as a director,
whether because of resignation, removal or otherwise, he is entitled to
designate a substitute nominee who is reasonably acceptable to the
Company's board of directors, and the Company will appoint the
substitute nominee to the board of directors for the remainder of the
term, provided the substitute nominee agrees to be bound by certain
provisions of the
Osborne Agreement. Mr. Osborne, who resigned as a director of the
Company and the Bank in January 2009, requested the appointment of Mr.
Smith as his designated substitute nominee.
Mr. Smith is an officer and/or a director of certain companies that
have loans outstanding with the Bank. All such loans were made in the
ordinary course of business, were made on substantially the same terms,
including interest rates and collateral, as those prevailing at the
time for comparable transactions with other persons not related to the
Bank, and did not involve more than the normal risk of collectibility
or present other unfavorable features.
(e) In connection with John R. Male's retirement, the Company entered into
a Letter Agreement with Mr. Male (the "Agreement"), dated July 27,
2009, certain terms of which are subject to OTS approval. Among other
things, the Agreement provides for termination of the severance
agreement between Mr. Male and the Bank and termination of the Letter
Agreement previously entered into between Mr. Male and the Bank, dated
January 29, 2009. The Agreement provides, however, that the provision
of the Letter Agreement dated January 29, 2009 regarding payments to
cover any additional tax imposed under Section 409A of the Code in
connection with payments made to Mr. Male under his Severance Agreement
or the Bank's Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan will survive its
termination, and Mr. Male will be entitled to receive these payments.
The Agreement provides that Mr. Male will continue to serve as director
of the Company and the Bank through the expiration of his current term,
and will be considered by the nominating committee in connection with
the 2010 annual meeting. The agreement entitles Mr. Male to receive an
early retirement benefit under the Bank's Supplemental Executive
Retirement Plan in the amount of $1,471,731, which will be paid in
accordance with Section 409A of the Code. Under the Agreement, the Bank
will continue to provide health insurance coverage to Mr. Male on the
same terms as coverage previously made available to Mr. Male until he
becomes eligible for Medicare coverage. The Agreement provides that Mr.
Male will be retained as a consultant to the Bank for a 12-month period
following OTS approval and during such period may not compete within 25
miles of the Company's headquarters; Mr. Male will be paid $8,333 per
month for his consulting services.
On July 27, 2009, the Bank took action to terminate the Park View
Federal Savings Bank Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan, as amended
and restated.
