LAKE SHORE BANCORP, inc. (NASDAQ:LSBK) Files An 8-K Other Events
Item 8.01Other Events.



On February 8,  2017, at a special meeting of members of Lake Shore, MHC (the “MHC”), the 59.7% majority-owner and mutual holding company of Lake Shore Bancorp, Inc. (the “Company”), the members of the MHC (i.e., depositors of Lake Shore Savings Bank) voted to approve the MHC’s waiver of dividends declared by the Company on its common stock during the twelve months subsequent to the members approval (i.e., through February 7,  2018), up to $0.08 per share on a quarterly basis.  



As was previously disclosed, historically, the MHC has waived its rights to receive dividends declared on its shares of the Company’s common stock.  The Federal Reserve Board has adopted interim final regulations that impose conditions on the ability of mutual holding companies to waive the receipt of dividends from their subsidiaries, such as the requirement to obtain the approval of the MHC’s members for the MHC to waive the receipt of dividends over a 12 month period.  Following the receipt of member approval, the MHC will apply to the Federal Reserve Board for its non-objection to dividend waivers by the MHC for the next 12 months. If this non-objection is obtained from the Federal Reserve Board prior to March 13,  2017, the expected payment date of the fourth quarter 2016 dividend, the MHC intends to waive its receipt of such dividend. 



The Company’s Board of Directors on February 8,  2017 declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.08 per share on its outstanding common stock.  The dividend is payable on March 13, 2017 to shareholders of record as of February 23,  2017.
