Item 5.04 Temporary Suspension of Trading Under Registrant’s Employee Benefit Plans.

CFSB Bancorp, Inc. (the “Company”) was notified on October 16, 2023 that, as a result of changing the plan administration of the Colonial Federal Savings Bank 401(k) Plan (the “401(k) Plan”) from Pentegra to Empower, there will be a blackout period beginning at 4:00 p.m. on Wednesday, November 15, 2023, and ending the week of December 18, 2023, during which participants in the 401(k) Plan will be temporarily unable to: check their account balances; transfer or diversify investments (including investments held within a self-directed brokerage account, if applicable) in a participant’s 401(k) Plan; or obtain a withdrawal or distribution.

 

As a result of the foregoing, on October 27, 2023, the Company sent a Blackout Notice Concerning Limitations on Trading in CFSB Bancorp, Inc. (“Notice”) to its directors and executive officers informing them that a blackout period with respect to directors and executive officers is expected to be in effect beginning at 4:00 p.m. on Wednesday, November 15, 2023, and ending the week of December 18, 2023.

 

The Notice was provided to the Company’s directors and executive officers pursuant to the requirements of Section 306 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and Rule 104 of the Securities and Exchange Commission’s Regulation BTR. A copy of the Notice is attached as Exhibit 99.1 to this current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated by reference herein.

Exhibit 99.1

Black-Out Notice Concerning Limitations on

Trading in CFSB Bancorp, Inc. Equity Securities

To: Executive Officers and Directors of CFSB Bancorp, Inc. (the “Company”)

 

From: Susan Shea, Treasurer and Chief Operating Officer
 

Date: October 27, 2023

 

1.
As you may know, a “blackout period” will be imposed on trading in CFSB Bancorp, Inc. (the “Company”) common stock due to the transition of the Colonial Federal Savings Bank 401(k) Plan (the “401(k) Plan”) from Pentegra to Empower, which is expected to begin on November 15, 2023. This blackout period, described in more detail below, is necessary to transfer the assets, recordkeeping and other services related to the 401(k) Plan from Pentegra to Empower. Under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and SEC Regulation BTR, the executive officers and directors of the Company will generally be prohibited from engaging in transactions involving Company equity securities (including options and other derivatives based on Company stock) during this blackout period.
2.
During the blackout period participants in the 401(k) Plan will be temporarily unable to: (i) check their account balances; (ii) transfer or diversify investments (including investments held within a self-directed brokerage account, if applicable) in a participant’s 401(k) Plan; or (iii) obtain a withdrawal or distribution.
3.
The blackout period is expected to begin at 4:00 p.m. on November 15, 2023, and be completed by the week of December 18, 2023, provided, however, that the blackout period may be extended due to events that are beyond the control of the Company. We will notify you of any changes that affect the dates of the blackout period. In addition, during the blackout period and for a period of two years after the end date thereof, you may obtain, without charge, information regarding the blackout period, including the actual beginning and end dates of the blackout period, by contacting Susan Shea, Treasurer and Chief Operating Officer, in writing, at Colonial Federal Savings Bank, 15 Beach Street, Quincy, Massachusetts 02170 or at shea@colonialfed.com or by calling (617) 471-0750.
4.
Generally, during the blackout period, you are prohibited from directly or indirectly, purchasing, selling or otherwise transferring any equity security of the Company that you acquired in connection with your service as an executive officer or director. “Equity securities” are defined broadly to include options and other derivatives. Covered transactions are not limited to those involving your direct ownership but include any transaction in which you have a pecuniary interest.
5.
The prohibition covers securities acquired “in connection with service as a director or executive officer.” This includes, among other things, securities acquired under a compensatory plan or contract (such as under a stock option, or a restricted stock grant), as a direct or indirect inducement to employment or joining the Board of Directors, in transactions between the individual and the Company, and director qualifying shares. Securities acquired outside of an individual’s service as a director or executive officer (such as shares acquired

 


 

when the person was an employee but not yet an executive officer) are not covered. However, if you hold both covered shares and non-covered shares, any shares that you sell will be presumed to come first from the covered shares unless you can identify the source of the sold shares and show that you use the same identification for all related purposes (such as tax reporting and disclosure requirements).
6.
The following are examples of transactions that you may not engage in during the blackout period:
Exercising stock options granted to you in connection with your service as a director or executive officer;
Selling Company stock that you acquired by exercising options; or
Selling Company stock that you originally received as a restricted stock grant.
7.
There are certain exemptions, including:
Purchases or sales under 10b5-1(c) trading plans (so long as you do not make or modify your election during the blackout period or at a time when you are aware of the actual or approximate dates of the blackout); and
Bona fide gifts, bequests and transfers pursuant to domestic relations orders.
8.
If you engage in a transaction that violates these rules, you can be required to disgorge your profits from the transaction, and you are subject to civil and criminal penalties.

The rules summarized above are complex, and the criminal and civil penalties that could be imposed upon executive officers and directors who violate them could be severe.

We therefore request that you contact Susan Shea at shea@colonialfed.com or by calling (617) 471-0750 before engaging in any transaction involving Company stock or derivatives based on Company stock during the blackout period, or if you believe that any such transaction in which you have a pecuniary interest may occur during the blackout period.
