(b)(c)(e) Following the Annual Meeting of Stockholders, on May 22, 2018 the Board of Directors of Investors Bancorp, Inc. (the "Company") and Investors Bank determined that Kevin Cummings, who as of the Annual Meeting and as disclosed in the Proxy Statement, became Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Company and the Bank as of the date of the Annual Meeting, would discontinue as President of the Company and the Bank, and would be replaced in that position by Dominick A. Cama, who has served as Senior Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer of the Company and the Bank since 2010. Mr. Cummings continues as Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of the Company and the Bank. Reference is made to the Proxy Statement dated April 12, 2018 for information concerning Mr. Cama that is required under Section 401(b), (d) and (e) of Regulation S-K. There are no transactions between Mr. Cama and the Company that would be reportable under Item 404(a) of Regulation S-K.

As a result of the foregoing, on July 9, 2018 the Company entered into individual acknowledgment and consent agreements with each of Messrs. Cummings and Cama, pursuant to which the executives acknowledged and agreed that the assignment of the new positions did not constitute a breach of their employment agreements with the Company dated August 18, 2008 (the "Employment Agreements") or an "event of termination" as defined under the Employment Agreements. The executives further agreed that the new executive positions with the Company and the Bank will be their "executive positions" as described in the Employment Agreements, and that their duties and responsibilities to the Company and the Bank will be commensurate with such new executive positions.
