However, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee seeks members who represent a mix of backgrounds that will reflect the diversity of our stockholders, employees, and customers, and experiences that will enhance the quality of the Board of Directors’ deliberations and decisions. As the holding company for a community bank, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee also seeks directors who can continue to strengthen Huntingdon Valley Bank’s position in its community and can assist Huntingdon Valley Bank with business development through business and other community contacts. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee considers the following criteria in evaluating and selecting candidates for nomination:

7


eligibility criteria in HV Bancorp, Inc.’s bylaws;

the extent to which the candidate would contribute to the range of talent, skill and expertise appropriate for the Board of Directors;

Amounts included in the “Stock Awards” and “Option Awards” columns of the summary compensation table for the year ended June 30, 2018 represent grants under the 2018 Equity Incentive Plan. Notwithstanding that (1) these awards vest ratably over a seven-year period following the grant date; and (2) the annual financial statement expense that we are required to recognize for these grants will be expensed ratably over the vesting period and will be significantly less than the amounts included in the “Stock Awards” and “Option Awards” columns for the year ended June 30, 2018, the Securities and Exchange Commission rules require that we report the full grant date fair value of restricted stock and stock option awards in the year in which the grants are made. In addition, with respect to the stock options, the actual value, if any, realized by any named executive officer from any stock options will depend on the extent to which the market value of HV Bancorp Inc. common stock exceeds the exercise price of the stock option on the date of exercise. Accordingly, there is no assurance that the value realized by a named executive officer will be at or near the value estimated above in the “Options Awards” column.

Outstanding Equity Awards at Year End. The following table sets forth information with respect to outstanding equity awards as of December 31, 2019, for the named executive officers. The named executive officers did not exercise any stock options during the transition period from July 1, 2019 to December 31, 2019. All equity awards reflected in this table were granted pursuant to the 2018 Equity Incentive Plan, described below.

Employment Agreements

Huntingdon Valley Bank entered into individual employment agreements with Travis J. Thompson, Joseph C. O’Neill, Jr., and Charles S. Hutt, and J. Christopher Jacobsen, each of which (with the exception of Mr. Jacobsen’s agreement) has an initial term of three years. Mr. Jacobsen’s agreement has an initial term of one year. Commencing on the first anniversary date of the agreement and continuing on each anniversary date thereafter, the term of each agreement will renew for one year, unless written notice ofnon-renewal is provided by the board of directors at least 30 days prior to any anniversary date. Prior to each notice period fornon-renewal, the disinterested members of the board of directors will conduct a comprehensive performance evaluation of each executive for purposes of determining whether to take action regardingnon-renewal of his employment agreement.

The employment agreements provide a base salary for each of Messrs. Thompson, O’Neill Hutt and JacobsenHutt in the amounts of $200,000, $150,000, $175,000 and $150,000,$185,000, respectively. The base salaries may be increased, but not decreased (other than a decrease which is applicable to all senior officers). In addition to base salary, each executive will be entitled to participate in any bonus program and benefit plan made available to senior management employees, and will be reimbursed for all reasonable business expenses incurred.

In the event of each executive’s involuntary termination of employment for reasons other than cause, disability or death, or in the event of his resignation for “good reason,” (a “qualifying termination event”), the executive will receive a lump sum cash severance payment equal to the amount base salary that he would have earned had he remained employed for the duration of his “benefit period.” The benefit period for Mr. Thompson is 12 months or, if greater, the remaining term of his agreement as of his date of termination. For Messrs. O’Neill and Hutt, their benefit periods are each for the lesser of 24 months or the remaining term of their agreements as of their date of termination, provided, however that such periods shall be no less than 12 months. The benefit period for Mr. Jacobsen is 12 months. In addition, each executive will be entitled to receive life insurance andnon-taxable medical and dental insurance coverage substantially comparable to the coverage maintained by Huntingdon Valley Bank for the aforementioned benefit period or, if earlier, until the date on which the executive becomes a full-time employee of another employer and receives comparable health and welfare benefits. For purposes of the employment agreements, “good reason” is defined as: (1) a material reduction in base salary or benefits (other than reduction by Huntingdon Valley Bank that is part of a good faith, overall reduction of such benefits applicable to all employees); (2) a material reduction in the executive’s duties or responsibilities; (3) a relocation of the executive’s principal place of employment by more than 25 miles from the executive’s principal place of employment as of the initial effective date of the employment agreement; or (4) a material breach of the employment agreement by Huntingdon Valley Bank. In order to be entitled to the severance benefits set forth above, the executive will be required to enter into a release of claims against Huntingdon Valley Bank related to his employment.

11


If the executive’s qualifying termination event occurs on or after the effective date of a change in control of HV Bancorp, Inv.Inc. or Huntingdon Valley Bank, the executive will be entitled to (in lieu of the payments and benefits described in the previous paragraph) a severance payment equal to three times (or one time for Mr. Jacobsen) the executive’s highest annual rate of base salary and bonus paid, or earned, during the calendar year of the change in control or either of the two calendar years immediately preceding the change in control. Such payment will be payable in a lump sum within 30 days following the executive’s date of termination. In addition, Huntingdon Valley Bank (or its successor) will continue to provide the executive with life insurance andnon-taxable medical and dental insurance coverage substantially comparable to the coverage provided to the executive immediately prior to his date of termination at no cost to the executive. Such continued coverage will cease upon the earlier of: (1) the date which is three years (or one year for Mr. Jacobsen) after the executive’s date of termination; or (2) the date on which the executive becomes a full-time employee of another employer and receives comparable health and welfare benefits.

In addition, if the executive dies while employed, the executive’s estate or beneficiary will be paid his base salary for one year following death, and his family will continue to receivenon-taxable medical and dental coverage for one year after his death. The executive will not receive any additional compensation or benefits under his employment agreement in the event he becomes disabled.

Upon termination of employment (other than a termination in connection with a change in control), each executive will be required to adhere toone-yearnon-competition one-year non-competition andnon-solicitation covenants.

Bonuses

Bonuses

Discretionary Bonuses. The Compensation Committee has the authority to award discretionary bonus payments to the Named Executive Officers.named executive officers. While strict numerical formulas are not used to quantify the Named Executive Officers’named executive officers’ bonus payments, both company-wide and individually-based performance objectives are used to determine bonus payments. Company-wide performance objectives focus on earnings, growth, expense control and asset quality, which are customary metrics used by similarly-situated financial institutions in measuring performance. Individually-based performance objectives are determined based on the individual’s responsibilities and contributions to our successful operation. Both the company-wide and individually-based performance objectives are evaluated by the Compensation Committee on an annual basis and also as a trend of performance measured over the prior three years. The Compensation Committee also takes into consideration outside factors that impact our performance, such as national and local economic conditions, the interest rate environment, regulatory mandates and the level of competition in our primary market area.

Based on the foregoing, for the year ended June 30, 2017,transition period from July 1, 2019 to December 31, 2019, Messrs. Thompson and O’Neill earned a bonus of $173,000$50,000 and $47,000,$25,000, respectively, in recognition of their performance and efforts.

Non-Equity Incentive Compensation. In connection with our strategy of selling long-term, conforming fixed rate residential mortgage loans in the secondary market, Huntingdon Valley Bank established a bonus pool based on achieving certain performance criteria, including revenue and operating income margin as well as loan quality and compliance with laws for the calendar year ended December 31, 2016.31. The bonus pool was allocated to Mr. Hutt and his residential staff in January 2017,2019, which resulted in Mr. Hutt receiving a bonus of $169,618.$115,327 during the year ended June 30, 2019.

Benefit Plans

401(k) Plan. Huntingdon Valley Bank maintains the Huntingdon Valley Bank 401(k) Profit Sharing Plan and Trust (the “401(k) Plan”). The Named Executive Officersnamed executive officers are eligible to participate in the 401(k) Plan just like any other employee. Employees who are 21 or older and have completed two consecutive months of service are eligible to participate in the 401(k) Plan.

Under the 401(k) Plan a participant may elect to defer, on apre-tax basis, up to 96% of his or her salary in any plan year, subject to limits imposed by the Internal Revenue Code. For 2017,2019, the salary deferral contribution limit is $18,000,$19,000, provided, however, that a participant over age 50 may contribute an additional $6,000, for a total contribution of $24,000.$25,000. In addition to salary deferral contributions, Huntingdon Valley Bank may make during the

12


plan year: (1) a discretionary matching contribution to each participant’s account based on a percentage of the participant’s salary deferral contribution; and/or (2) a profit sharing contribution that would be allocated to each participant’s accountpro-rata on the basis of each participant’s compensation relative to the aggregate compensation of all participants. For the year ended June 30, 2017, Huntingdon Valley Bank made a $80,000transition period July 1, 2019 to December 31, 2019, there was no profit sharing contribution to the 401(k) Plan. A participant is always 100% vested in his or her salary deferral contributions. However, a participant will vest in his or her employer contributions at a rate of 20% per year after the completion of two years of credited service, such that the participant will be 100% vested upon completion of six years of credited service. The 401(k) Plan permits a participant to direct the investment of his or her own account into various investment options offered, including HV Bancorp, Inc. common stock through the Stock Fund.

Generally, a participant (or participant’s beneficiary) may receive a distribution from his or her vested account beginning at retirement, age 59 1/2 (while employed with Huntingdon Valley Bank), death, disability or termination of employment, and elect for the distribution to be paid in the form of a lump sum payment or annuity or installment payments.

Employee Stock Ownership Plan.Concurrent with the completion of themutual-to-stock conversion of Huntingdon Valley Bank and initial public offering of HV Bancorp, Inc. (collectively, the “conversion”), Huntingdon Valley Bank adopted the Huntingdon Valley Bank Employee Stock Ownership Plan (the “ESOP”) for eligible employees. Eligible employees who have attained age 21 and are employed with Huntingdon Valley Bank as of January 11, 2017, began participation in the ESOP on the later of the effective date of the ESOP or upon the first entry date commencing on or after the eligible employee’s completion of 1,000 hours of service during a continuous12-month period. period.

16


On behalf of the ESOP, the ESOP trustee purchased 174,570 shares of HV Bancorp, Inc. common stock issued in the after-market following the completion of the conversion.Theconversion. The ESOP funded its stock purchase with a loan from HV Bancorp, Inc. equal to the aggregate purchase price of the common stock. The loan will be repaid principally through Huntingdon Valley Bank’s contribution to the ESOP and dividends payable on common stock held by the ESOP over the anticipated20-year term of the loan. The initial interest rate for the ESOP loan iswas an adjustable rate equal to the prime rate, as published inThe Wall Street Journal,on January 11, 2017. Thereafter the interest rate will adjust annually and will be the prime rate on the first business day of the calendar year, retroactive to January 1 of such year.

The trustee will hold the shares purchased by the ESOP in an unallocated suspense account, and shares will be released from the suspense account on apro-rata basis as the trustee repays the loan. The trustee will allocate the shares released among participants on the basis of each participant’s proportional share of compensation relative to all participants. Each participant will vest in his or her benefit at a rate of 20% per year beginning in the second year, such that the participant will be fully vested upon completion of six years of credited service. However, each participant who was employed by Huntingdon Valley Bank prior to the offering will receive credit for vesting purposes for years of service prior to the adoption of the ESOP. A participant also will become fully vested automatically in his or her benefit upon normal retirement, death or disability, or termination of the ESOP. Generally, a participant will receive a distribution from the ESOP upon separation from service. The ESOP reallocates any unvested shares forfeited upon termination of employment among the remaining participants.

2018 Equity Incentive Plan. On June 13, 2018, the stockholders of HV Bancorp, Inc. approved the 2018 Equity Incentive Plan which provides for the grant of stock based awards to its employees, directors and executive officers of HV Bancorp, Inc. and Huntingdon Valley Bank. The 2018 Equity Plan authorizes the issuance or delivery of up to 305,497 shares of HV Bancorp, Inc. common stock pursuant to grants of incentive and non-qualified stock options, restricted stock awards, restricted stock units; provided, however, that the maximum number of shares of stock that may be delivered pursuant to the exercise of stock options is 218,212 and the maximum number of shares of restricted stock awards or restricted stock units that may be granted is 87,285 shares.

 

13The 2018 Equity Incentive Plan is administered by the members of HV Bancorp, Inc.’s Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors who are “Disinterested Board Members” as defined in the 2018 Equity Incentive Plan. The Compensation Committee has the authority and discretion to select the persons who will receive the awards; establish the terms and conditions relating to each award; adopt rules and regulations relating to the 2018 Equity Incentive Plan; and interpret the 2018 Equity Incentive Plan. The 2018 Equity Incentive Plan also permits the Compensation Committee to delegate all or any portion of its responsibilities and powers.

Our executive officers and outside directors are eligible to receive awards under the 2018 Equity Incentive Plan. Awards may be granted in a combination of restricted stock awards, restricted stock units, incentive stock options, and non-qualified stock options. The exercise price of stock options granted under the 2018 Equity Incentive Plan may not be less than the fair market value on the date the stock option is granted. Stock options are subject to vesting conditions and restrictions as determined by the Compensation Committee. Stock awards under 2018 Equity Incentive Plan will be granted only in whole shares of common stock. All restricted stock and stock option grants will be subject to conditions established by the Compensation Committee that are set forth in the award agreement.

The stock option and restricted stock awards granted to named executive officers will vest over a seven-year period, with 16 percent becoming vested after the completion of one year of service following the date of grant and then 14 percent becoming vested each year of continued service thereafter for the next six years. Notwithstanding the foregoing, these awards would vest upon death, disability or involuntary termination of employment following a change in control. The time-based component of the awards serves as a retention tool for the named executive officers, and the stock options are viewed by the Compensation Committee as performance-based because value is only realized if there is stock price appreciation over the term of the options.
