Item 8.01. Other Events
As of July 19, 2013, as previously disclosed, Flushing Financial Corporation (the “Company”) and its principal operating subsidiary Flushing Bank (the “Bank”) entered into amended and restated employment agreements (the “Mirror Agreements”) with John R. Buran and Maria A. Grasso, the Company’s and the Bank’s CEO and COO, respectively. The sole purpose and effect of entering into the Mirror Agreements was to reflect the change in the name of the Bank from “Flushing Savings Bank” to “Flushing Bank”. The name change was intended to more properly reflect the evolved commercial nature of the Bank and was not accompanied by any other corporate change or transaction of any kind.
To transparently indicate the changes made in the Mirror Agreements from the respective predecessor amended and restated agreements, as publicly filed since 2009, attached hereto are marked copies thereof showing such changes. Each and every change shown in the Mirror Agreements other than expressly relating to the name change are updates of either (i) dates or amounts under the predecessor agreements as of the date of the Mirror Agreements or (ii) historical changes in the regulatory environment of the Bank. For the elimination of doubt, the Company notes that no present or future compensation or other value whatsoever was provided for in the Mirror Agreements that was not provided for under the predecessor agreements.
