The Offering The Bank, in accordance with the plan of conversion and reorganization adopted by the Board of Directors of each of the OBA Parties, as amended (the “Plan”), intends to convert from the mutual holding company form of organization to the stock holding company form of organization (the “Conversion”). In connection with the Conversion, the Bank will become a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, and the corporate existence of the MHC and OBA Bancorp will cease. Pursuant to the Plan, the Company will offer and sell up to 4,025,000 shares (subject to increase up to 4,628,750 shares) of its common stock, $0.01 par value per share (the “Shares” or “Common Shares”), in a subscription offering (the “Subscription Offering”) to (1) depositors of the Bank with Qualifying Deposits (as defined in the Plan) as of April 30, 2008 (“Eligible Account Holders”), (2) the Bank’s tax-qualified employee benefit plans, including the employee stock ownership plan established by the Bank (the “ESOP”), (3) depositors of the Bank with Qualifying Deposits as of ___________ (“Supplemental Eligible Account Holders”), and (4) Other Members of the MHC as defined in the Plan. Subject to the prior subscription rights of the above-listed parties, the Company may offer for sale in a community offering (the “Community Offering” and when referred to together with or subsequent to the Subscription Offering, the “Subscription and Community Offering”) the Shares not subscribed for or ordered in the Subscription Offering to members of the general public to whom a copy of the Prospectus (as hereinafter defined) is delivered with a preference given first to natural persons residing in the State of Maryland. It is anticipated that shares not subscribed for in the Subscription and Community Offering may be offered to certain members of the general public on a best efforts basis through a selected dealers agreement (the “Syndicated Community Offering”) (the Subscription Offering, Community Offering and Syndicated Community Offering are collectively referred to as the “Offering”). It is acknowledged that the purchase of Shares in the Offering is subject to the maximum and minimum purchase limitations as described in the Plan and that the Company may reject, in whole or in part, any orders received in the Community Offering or Syndicated Community Offering. In December 2007, the Bank’s mutual predecessor reorganized into the mutual holding company form of organization by forming the MHC. The MHC currently owns 100% of the outstanding shares of OBA Bancorp. The MHC is a mutual holding company that has no stockholders and is controlled by its members. OBA Bancorp currently owns 100% of the outstanding shares of common stock of the Bank. OBA Bancorp has not issued shares of its stock to the public. Pursuant to the terms of the Plan, upon completion of the Conversion and the Offering, the MHC and OBA Bancorp will cease to exist and the Bank will be a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. The Company has filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) a registration statement on Form S-1 (File No. __________) (the “Registration Statement”), containing a prospectus relating to the Offering, for the registration of the Shares under the Securities Act of 1933 (the “1933 Act”), and has filed such amendments thereof and such amended prospectuses as may have been required to the date hereof. The term “Registration Statement” shall include any documents incorporated by reference therein and all financial schedules and exhibits thereto, as amended, including post-effective amendments. The prospectus, as amended, on file with the Commission at the time the Registration Statement initially became effective is hereinafter called the “Prospectus,” except that if any prospectus is filed by the Company pursuant to Rule 424(b) or (c) of the rules and regulations of the Commission under the 1933 Act (the “1933 Act Regulations”) differing from the prospectus on file at the time the Registration Statement initially became effective, the term “Prospectus” shall refer to the prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) or (c) from and after the time said prospectus is filed with the Commission. In accordance with Title 12, Part 563b of the Code of Federal Regulations (the “Conversion Regulations”), the MHC has filed with the Office of Thrift Supervision (the “OTS”) an Application For Conversion on Form AC (the “Form AC”), including the Prospectus and the Conversion Valuation Appraisal Report prepared by RP Financial, LC., dated September __, 2009 and as amended or supplemented, regarding the estimated pro forma value of the Common Shares (the “Appraisal”), and has filed such amendments thereto as may have been required by the OTS. The Form AC has been approved by the OTS and the related Prospectus has been authorized for use by the OTS. In addition, the Company has filed with the OTS an Application H-(e)l-S (the “Holding Company Application”) to become a savings and loan holding company under the Home Owners’ Loan Act, as amended (“HOLA”) and the regulations promulgated thereunder (the “Control Act Regulations”).
