Participants in the Millington Savings Bank Savings Plan |
Date: |
October 10, 2008 |
As described in the enclosed materials, your voting instructions are being requested as a participant under the Millington Savings Bank Savings Plan (the “401(k) Plan”) in connection with an upcoming Annual Meeting of Stockholders of MSB Financial Corp. (“Company”). The Annual Meeting is for the purpose of considering and acting upon the following matters:
|
• |
The election of two directors of MSB Financial Corp.; and |
|
• |
Ratification of the appointment of Beard Miller Company LLP as the Company’s independent auditor for the year ending June 30, 2009. |
We hope you will take advantage of the opportunity to direct the manner in which shares of Company common stock allocated to your account under the 401(k) Plan will be voted.
Enclosed with this letter are a Proxy Statement, the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2008, and a 401(k) Plan Voting Instruction Form, which will permit you to vote the shares allocated to your 401(k) Plan account. After you have reviewed the Proxy Statement, we urge you to vote your shares held pursuant to the 401(k) Plan by marking, dating, signing and returning the enclosed 401(k) Plan Voting Instruction Form and returning it in the enclosed envelope to Registrar and Transfer Company who is tabulating the results on behalf of the 401(k) Plan Trustees. The 401(k) Plan Trustees will certify the totals to the Company for the purpose of having those shares voted.
We urge each of you to vote, as a means of participating in the governance of the affairs of the Company. If your voting instructions for the 401(k) Plan are not received by NOVEMBER 6, 2008, the shares allocated to your account will be voted by the 401(k) Plan Trustees at the direction of the Company’s Board of Directors serving as the 401(k) Plan Administrator. While I hope that you will vote in the manner recommended by the Board of Directors, the most important thing is that you vote in whatever manner you deem appropriate. Please take a moment to do so.
Please note the enclosed material relates only to those shares that have been allocated to your account under the 401(k) Plan. You will receive other voting material for those shares owned by you individually and not under the 401(k) Plan.
