VOTING AND PROXY PROCEDURES

Who Can Vote at the Annual Meeting

You are only entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting if our records show that you held shares of our Common Stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Common Stock”), as of the close of business on March 27, 201931, 2021 (the “Record Date”). If your shares are held by a broker or other intermediary, you can only vote your shares at the Annual Meeting if you have a properly executed proxy from the record holder of your shares (or their designee). As of the Record Date, a total of 4,232,0003,527,033 shares of Common Stock were outstanding. Except as otherwise noted below, each share of Common Stock has one vote on each matter presented. The presence, in person or by proxy, of at least one-third of the total number of shares of Common Stock outstanding and entitled to vote will be necessary to constitute a quorum at the Annual Meeting.

Voting by Proxy

The Board of Directors is sending you this Proxy Statement for the purpose of requesting that you allow your shares of Common Stock to be represented at the Annual Meeting by the persons named in the enclosed proxy card. As shown on your proxy card, you may also vote your shares by internetInternet or telephone voting. All shares of Common Stock represented at the Annual Meeting by properly executed and dated proxies will be voted according to the instructions indicated on the proxy. If you execute a proxy (by any permitted method) without giving voting instructions, your shares will be voted as recommended by the Company’s Board of Directors.The Board of Directors recommends a vote “FOR” its nominees for directors, and “FOR” the ratification of the appointment of Dixon Hughes Goodman LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm, and “FOR” the approval of the CBM Bancorp, Inc. 2019 Equity Incentive Plan.firm.

2


If any matters not described in this Proxy Statement are properly presented at the Annual Meeting, the persons named in the proxy will vote your shares as determined by a majority of the Board of Directors. If the Annual Meeting is postponed or adjourned, your shares of Common Stock may be voted by the persons named in the proxy card on the new Annual Meeting date as well, unless you have revoked your proxy. The Company does not know of any other matters to be presented at the Annual Meeting.

You may revoke your proxy at any time before the vote is taken at the Annual Meeting. To revoke your proxy you must advise CBM’sthe Company’s Corporate Secretary in writing before your Common Stock has been voted at the Annual Meeting, deliver a later-dated proxy (executed in writing, telephonically or via the Internet), or attend the Annual Meeting and vote your shares in person. Attendance at the Annual Meeting will not in itself revoke your proxy.

If you hold your Common Stock in “street name,” you will receive instructions from your broker, bank or other nominee that you must follow in order to have your shares voted. Your broker, bank or other nominee may allow you to deliver your voting instructions via the telephone or the Internet. Please see the instruction form provided by your broker, bank or other nominee that accompanies this Proxy Statement. In order to vote in person at the Annual Meeting, you will need special documentation from your broker, bank or other nominee.Please note that pursuant to the rules that guide how brokers vote your stock, your brokerage firm or other nominee may not vote your shares with respect to the election of directors (Proposal I) and the approval of the CBM Bancorp, Inc. 2019 Equity Incentive Plan (Proposal III) without specific instructions from you as to how to vote because they areit is not considered “routine” mattersmatter under the applicable rules. Proposal II is a matter we believe will be considered “routine”; even if the broker or other nominee does not receive instructions from you, the broker or other nominee is entitled to vote your shares in connection with Proposal II.

Vote Required

Business can only be transacted at the Annual Meeting ifone-third of the outstanding shares of Common Stock entitled to vote is present, in person or by proxy, at the Annual Meeting. If you execute a valid proxy or attend the Annual Meeting in person, your shares will be counted for purposes of determining whether there is a quorum even if you abstain or withhold your vote or do not vote your shares at the Annual Meeting. Brokernon-votes will be counted for purposes of determining the existence of a quorum. A brokernon-vote occurs when a broker, bank or other nominee holding shares for a beneficial owner does not have discretionary voting power with respect to the agenda item and has not received voting instructions from the beneficial owner.

In voting on the election of directors (Proposal I), you may vote in favor of the nominee or withhold your vote. There is no cumulative voting in the election of directors. Directors must be elected by a plurality of the votes cast at the Annual Meeting. This means that the nominee receiving the greatest number of votes will be elected. Votes that are withheld and brokernon-votes will have no effect on the outcome of the election.

In voting to ratify the appointment of Dixon Hughes Goodman LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm (Proposal II), you may vote in favor of the proposal, against the proposal or abstain from voting. To be approved, this proposal requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast at the Annual Meeting. Brokernon-votes and abstentions will not be counted as votes cast and will have no effect on the voting on these proposals.

As to the approval of the Company’s 2019 Equity Incentive Plan (Proposal III), by checking the appropriate box, a stockholder may: (i) vote “FOR” the item; (ii) vote “AGAINST” the item; or (iii) “ABSTAIN” from voting on such item. The approval of the 2019 Equity Incentive Plan will be determined by a majority of the total votes eligible to be cast at the Annual Meeting. Because of the required vote, abstentions and brokernon-votes will have the same effect as a vote against these proposals. For the same reason, the failure of any stockholder to vote by proxy or in person at the Annual Meeting will also have the effect of a vote against this proposal to approve the 2019 Equity Incentive Plan.

Under rules applicable to broker-dealers, the proposal to ratify the independent registered public accounting firm is considered a “discretionary” item upon which brokerage firms may vote in their discretion on behalf of their clients if such clients have not furnished voting instructions. The election of directors and the proposal to approve the 2019 Equity Incentive Plan areis considered“non-discretionary” for which brokerage firms may not vote in their discretion on behalf of clients who do not furnish voting instructions and, thus, there may be brokernon-votes at the Annual Meeting. You should use the proxy card provided by the institution that holds your shares to instruct your broker to vote your shares, or else your shares will be considered brokernon-votes.

Limitation on Voting

The Articles of Incorporation provide that in no event will any person who beneficially owns more than 10% of the then-outstanding shares of Common Stock be entitled or permitted to vote any of the shares of Common Stock held in excess of the 10% limit.

Participants in the Company’s Employee Stock Ownership Plan

If you participate in the Company’s Employee Stock Ownership Plan (the “ESOP”), you will receive vote authorization materials which will reflect all the shares that you may direct the trustees to vote on your behalf under the ESOP. Under the terms of the ESOP, the ESOP trustees vote all shares held by the ESOP, but each ESOP participant may direct the trustees how to vote the shares of Common Stock allocated to his or her account. The ESOP trustees, subject to the exercise of their fiduciary duties, will vote all unallocated shares of CBM Common Stock held by the ESOP and allocated shares for which no voting instructions are received in the same proportion as shares for which they have received timely voting instructions. The deadline for returning your voting instructions to the ESOP trustees is May 7, 2019.5, 2021.

PROPOSAL I – ELECTION OF DIRECTORS

The Board of Directors currently consists of seven members divided into three classes, and such classes are to be as nearly equal in number as possible. The directors are elected for staggered three-year terms, or until their successors are elected and qualified. Annually, approximately one-third of the Board is to be elected.

It is intended that proxies solicited by the Board of Directors will, unless otherwise specified, be voted for the election of the named nominees for the terms indicated. If any nominee is unable to serve, the shares represented by all valid proxies will be voted for the election of such substitute as the Board of Directors may recommend or the size of the Board may be reduced to eliminate the vacancy. At this time, the Board of Directors knows of no reason why any nominee might be unavailable to serve.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE

Board Independence

Smith, is “independent” as defined in the listing standards of the Nasdaq Stock Market. Messrs.

In determining the independence of the other directors, the Board of Directors considered the various deposit and other relationships of directors and concluded that these did not affect their independence. Commencing with the year ending December 31, 2019, independentIndependent Board members will meetmet in executive session without management present at least twofour times during each year.the year ended December 31, 2020.

Code of Ethics for Senior Officers

CBMThe Company has adopted a Code of Conduct that applies to all of the Company’s and the Bank’s directors, officers and other employees. The Code of Conduct also serves as the Company’s Code of Ethics for Senior Financial Officers. The Code of Conduct is available on our website atwww.chesapeakebank.com. Amendments to and waivers from the Code of Ethics for Senior Financial Officers will also be disclosed on our website.

It is expected that all directors, officers and employees act in accordance with the highest standards of personal and professional conduct in all aspects of their employment and association with the Company and the Bank, to comply with all applicable laws, rules and regulations and to adhere to all policies and procedures adopted by the Company and the Bank.

Board Leadership Structure and Risk Oversight

The Board of Directors currently combines the position of Chairman of the Board with the position of an executive officer, coupled with a lead independent director position to further strengthen the Company’s corporate governance structure. Francis X. Bossle, Jr. serves as our lead independent director. The Board of Directors believes this provides an efficient and effective leadership model for the Company. Combining the Chairman of the Board and executive officer positions fosters clear accountability, effective decision-making, and alignment on corporate strategy. The Board of Directors believes its administration of its risk oversight function is enhanced by the Board’s leadership structure. To assure effective independent oversight, the Board has adopted a number of governance practices, including holding executive sessions of the independent directors after Board meetings, as needed, and the Compensation Committee conducts performance evaluations of the Chairman of the Board.

The Board of Directors is actively involved in oversight of risks that could affect the Company. This oversight is conducted in part through committees of the Board of Directors, but the full Board of Directors has retained responsibility for general oversight of risks. The Board of Directors satisfies this responsibility through full reports by each committee regarding its considerations and actions, regular reports directly from officers responsible for oversight of particular risks within the Company as well as through internal and external audits. Risks relating to the direct operations of the Bank are further overseen by the Board of Directors of the Bank, who are the same individuals who serve on the Board of Directors of the Company. The Board of Directors of the Bank also has additional committees that conduct risk oversight separate from the Company. Further, the Board of Directors oversees risks through the establishment of policies and procedures that are designed to guide daily operations in a manner consistent with applicable laws, regulations and risks acceptable to the organization.

Risk is inherent with every business, particularly financial institutions. We face a number of risks, including credit risk, interest rate risk, liquidity risk, operational risk, strategic risk and reputation risk. Management is responsible for theday-to-day management of the risks the Company faces, while the Board has responsibility for the oversight of risk management. In its risk oversight role, the Board of Directors has the responsibility to satisfy itself that the risk management processes designed and implemented by management are adequate and functioning as designed. Senior management meets regularly to discuss strategy and risks facing the Company. Senior management attends the Board meetings and is available to address any questions or concerns raised by the Board on risk management and any other matters. The independent members of the Board provide independent oversight of the Company’s management and affairs.

No executive officer participates with respect to decisions on his or her compensation. The Compensation Committee may retain, at its discretion, compensation consultants to assist it in making compensation related decisions.

The Compensation Committee’s goal is to determine appropriate compensation levels that will enable the Company to: (i) attract, retain and motivate an experienced, competent executive management team; (ii) reward the executive management team for the enhancement of stockholder value based on our annual performance and the market price of our stock; (iii) provide compensation rewards that are adequately balanced between short-term and long-term performance goals; and (iv) maintain compensation levels that are competitive with other financial institutions, particularly those comparable in asset size and market area.

In the event of an executive’s involuntary termination of employment for reasons other than cause, disability or death, or in the event of the executive’s resignation for “good reason,” the executive will receive a severance payment equal to the base salary (in effect at the date of termination) that the executive would have earned during the remaining term of the employment agreement. Such payment will be payable in a lump sum within 30 days following the executive’s date of termination. In addition, executive will also continue to participate in any compensation and benefit plans of the Bank that provide medical, dental and life insurance coverage, and payment equal to the additional cash bonus and retirement benefits that would have been earned by the executive during the remaining term of the agreement (or the date of death, if earlier), under terms and conditions no less favorable than the most favorable terms and conditions provided to senior executives of the Bank during the same period. If the Bank cannot provide such coverage or participation because executive is no longer an employee, the Bank will provide executive with comparable coverage on an individual policy basis or the cash equivalent. For purposes of the agreement, resignation for “good reason” is defined as: (i) a material reduction in executive’s responsibilities or authority in connection with his employment with the Bank, including a requirement that the executive report to any person other than the directly to the Bank’s Board of Directors; (ii) assignment to executive of duties of anon-executive nature or duties for which

11


he is not reasonably equipped by his skills and experience; (iii) failure of executive to be nominated orre-nominated

11


to the Board to the extent executive is a Board member prior to the effective date of the agreement; (iv) a reduction in salary or benefits contrary to the terms of this agreement, or, following a change in control as defined in the agreement, any reduction in salary or material reduction in benefits below the amounts executive was entitled to receive prior to the change in control; (v) termination of incentive and benefit plans, programs or arrangements, or reduction of executive’s participation, that is not applicable to other similarly situated participants and to such an extent as to materially reduce their aggregate value below their aggregate value as of the effective date; (vi) a requirement that executive relocate his principal business office or his principal place of residence outside of the area consisting of a thirty-five (35) mile radius from the current main office of the Bank, (vii) or the assignment to executive of duties that would reasonably require such a relocation; (viii) liquidation or dissolution of the Bank; or (ix) a material breach of the agreement by the Bank.

If the executive’s employment terminates involuntarily within one year following a change in control of the Company or the Bank (other than for cause, disability or death) or in the event of voluntary resignation for “good reason” occurs on or within one year after the effective date of a change in control of the Company, 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 executive’s average taxable compensation (as reported on IRS FormW-2) over the five (5) most recently completed calendar years (or years of employment, annualized for partial years of employment, if less than five), ending with the year immediately preceding the effective date of the change in control. Such payment will be payable in a lump sum within 10 days following the executive’s date of termination. Following termination of employment, executive will also continue to participate in any benefit plans of the Bank that provide medical, dental and life insurance coverage upon terms no less favorable than the most favorable terms provided to senior executives. If the Bank cannot provide such coverage because executive is no longer an employee, the Bank will provide executive with comparable coverage on an individual basis or the cash equivalent. The medical, dental and life insurance coverage provided shall cease upon the earlier of: (i) executive’s death; (ii) executive’s employment by another employer other than one of which he is the majority owner; or (iii)(iii) thirty-six (36) months after his termination of employment. In the event the payments and benefits payable to the executive upon a change in control resulted in an excess parachute payment, then under the Bank agreement, the severance benefit would be reduced to an amount that would avoid the occurrence of an excess parachute payment. The Company’s agreement does not include such a severance payment reduction. As such, a portion of severance compensation to be paid to the executive could exceed amounts deductible in accordance with Section 280G of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. If executive becomes liable, in any taxable year, for the payment of an excise tax under Section 4999 of the Code, the Company shall pay executive (i) an amount equal to the excise tax for which executive is liable under Section 4999 of the Code, (ii) the federal, state, and local income taxes, and interest if any, for which executive is liable on account of the payments pursuant to item (i), and (iii) any additional excise tax under Section 4999 of the Code and any federal, state and local income taxes for which Executive is liable on account of payments made pursuant to items (i) and (ii).

In addition, should the executive become disabled, he will be entitled to disability benefits as follows: the Bank will make disability payments on a monthly basis commencing on the first day of the month following the effective date of executive’s termination of employment due to disability and ending on the earlier of: (A) the date he returns to full-time employment at the Bank in the same capacity as he was employed prior to his termination for Disability;disability; (B) his death; (C) his attainment of age 65; or (D) the last date of the term of this agreement had executive’s employment not terminated by reason of disability; provided, however, in the event of subparagraphs (C) and (D), such disability payments shall not be made for a period of less than twelve (12) months. The Bank will reduce disability payments by the amount of any short- or long-term disability benefits payable to executive under any other disability programs sponsored by the Bank. In addition, during any period of disability payments from the Bank during executive’s disability, the Bank will continue to provide executive and his dependents, to the greatest extent possible, with continued coverage under all benefit plans (including, without limitation, retirement plans and medical, dental and life insurance plans) in which executive and/or his dependents participated prior to his disability on the same terms as if he had remained actively employed by the Bank. In the event of an executive’s death while employed, the executive’s estate or beneficiary will be paid his base salary for 60 days following death.

Upon any termination of employment that would entitle the executive to a severance payment (other than a termination in connection with a change in control), the executive will be required to adhere toone-yearnon-competitionone-year non-competition andnon-solicitation covenant.

The clarifying and updating revisions conform these agreements with those of Ms. Beal. The agreement terms for Mr. Bocek and Mr. Solomon have been extended to September 30, 2023.

Equity Stock Incentive Plan. The Company’s 2019 Equity Incentive Plan provides officers, other employees and directors of the Company and the Bank with additional incentives to promote the growth and performance of the Company and the Bank. The Board of Directors and the Compensation Committee believe that the 2019 Equity Stock Incentive Plan is in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders as the Plan provides the Bank with the ability to retain and reward and, to the extent necessary, attract and incentivize its officers, other employees and directors to promote growth, improve performance and further align their interests with those of the Company’s stockholders through the ownership of additional Common Stock of the Company.

Our executive officers and outside directors are eligible to receive awards under the 2019 Equity Incentive Plan. Awards may be granted in a combination of restricted stock awards, incentive stock options, and non-qualified stock options. The exercise price of stock options granted under the 2019 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 2019 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 agreements.

The maximum number of shares of Common Stock that may delivered under the 2019 Equity Incentive Plan pursuant to the exercise of stock options is 10% of the number of shares of Common Stock issued in the reorganization and stock offering (a maximum of 423,200 shares to be subject to stock options) and the maximum number of shares of Common Stock that may be issued as restricted stock is 4.0% of the number of shares of Common Stock issued in the reorganization and stock offering (a maximum of 169,280 shares of restricted stock). Except in the event of death or disability of a participant or upon a change in control, the 2019 Equity Incentive Plan requires a minimum vesting rate for awards of 20% per year, with the first installment vesting on the one-year anniversary of the date of grant.

Each non-employee director who was in the service of the Company immediately following the 2019 Annual Meeting of Stockholders was automatically granted 21,160 stock options, which represents approximately 5.0% of the maximum number of stock options available for grant, and each non-employee director was automatically granted 8,464 restricted stock awards, which represents approximately 5.0% of the maximum number of restricted stock awards available for grant. The maximum number of shares of Common Stock that may be delivered to any one employee pursuant to the exercise of stock options and pursuant to restricted stock awards is 25% of the shares available for grant or award, respectively, under the 2019 Equity Incentive Plan.

Currently no shares authorized under the 2019 Equity Incentive Plan are available for additional awards. The 2019 Equity Incentive Plan provides that, if an award is forfeited or expires, the shares covered by the award will be available for future grant, while shares withheld to cover taxes or used to pay the exercise price of stock options will not be available for future grant.

The 2019 Equity Incentive Plan prohibits repricing of stock options, and there will not be any exchange of underwater options for cash or shares without stockholder approval.

Awards granted under the 2019 Equity Incentive Plan are subject to recoupment by the Company if the Company is required to prepare an accounting restatement due to material noncompliance by the Company, as a result of misconduct with any financial reporting requirement under the federal securities laws or the forfeiture provisions of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. Awards may also be subject to recoupment under any other policy adopted by the Company from time to time.

The Company has funded restricted stock awards under the 2019 Equity Incentive Plan through open-market purchases of its Common Stock, which avoided any dilution to current stockholders. The Company may also elect in the future to purchase Common Stock in the open-market for delivery upon the exercise of stock option awards, which will avoid dilution of then current stockholders.

The 2019 Equity Incentive Plan is administered by the members of Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors who are “Disinterested Board Members” as defined in the 2019 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 2019 Equity Incentive Plan; and interpret the 2019 Equity Incentive Plan. The 2019 Equity Incentive Plan also permits the Compensation Committee to delegate all or any portion of its responsibilities and powers.

Effective May 14, 2019, Messrs. Bocek and Solomon and Ms. Beal received stock option grants and restricted stock awards that vest over a five-year period, with 20% becoming vested after the completion of one year of service following the date of grant and an additional 20% becoming vested each year of continued service thereafter for the next four years. The exercise price of the stock options equals the fair market value of Common Stock on the date of grant. These awards would vest fully upon death or disability or upon a change in control of the Company or the Bank.

On May 21, 2020, Ms. Beal was granted options to purchase 6,000 shares of common stock. The stock options vest over a five-year period, with 60% becoming vested as of June 30, 2023, and an additional 20% vesting following each year of continued services over the next two years on June 30, 2024 and June 30, 2025. The exercise price of the stock options equals the closing price of Common Stock on the date of grant The stock options would vest fully upon death or disability or upon a change in control of the Company or the Bank.

Indemnification Agreements. The Company has entered into Indemnification Agreements with each of its directors and executive officers. The Indemnification Agreements clarify and supplement indemnification provisions already provided by the Company’s Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws, the Maryland General Corporation Law, and Federal laws and regulations, and generally provide that the Company shall indemnify the indemnitees to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, subject to certain exceptions, against expenses (as defined in the Indemnification Agreements) incurred in connection with their service as a director or executive officer and also provide for rights to advancement of expenses and maintenance of insurance.

Employee Stock Ownership Plan.In connection with the reorganization, the Bank adopted an employee stock ownership planthe ESOP for eligible employees. Employees who are age 18 or older began or will begin participation in the employee stock ownership planESOP on the later of the effective date of the reorganization or upon the January 1 or July 1 commencing on or after the eligible employee’s completion of 1,000 hours of service during a continuous12-month period.

In the stock offering the employee stock ownership planESOP trust purchased, on behalf of the employee stock ownership plan, 8% of the total shares sold. The employee stock ownership planESOP funded its stock purchase with a loan from CBMthe Company equal to the aggregate purchase price of the Common Stock. The loan will be repaid principally through the Bank’s contribution to the employee stock ownership planESOP and dividends payable on Common Stock held by the employee stock ownership planESOP over the anticipated10-year term of the loan. The interest rate for the employee stock ownership planESOP loan is a fixed rate equal to the prime rate, as published inThe Wall Street Journal,on the closing date of the offering.

The ESOP trustee holds the shares purchased by the employee stock ownership planESOP in an unallocated suspense account, and shares will be released from the suspense account on apro-rata basis as the loan is repaid. The ESOP trustee allocates the shares released among participants each plan year on the basis of each participant’s proportional share of compensation relative to all participants. Each participant will be fully vested upon completion of three years of credited service. Each participant who was employed by the Bank prior to the offering will receive credit for vesting purposes for years of service completed prior to the adoption of the employee stock ownership plan.ESOP. A participant also will become fully vested automatically in his or her benefit upon normal retirement at or after age 65, death or disability, a change in control, or termination of the employee stock ownership plan.ESOP. Generally, a participant will receive a distribution from the employee stock ownership planESOP upon separation from service.

The employee stock ownership planESOP permits a participant to direct the ESOP trustee as to how to vote the shares of Common Stock allocated to his or her plan account. The ESOP trustee will vote unallocated shares and allocated shares for which participants do not provide instructions on any matter in the same ratio as those shares for which participants provide voting instructions, subject to fulfillment of the ESOP trustee’s fiduciary duties.

Under applicable accounting requirements, the Bank records a compensation expense for the employee stock ownership planESOP at the fair market value of the shares as they are committed to be released from the unallocated suspense account to each participant’s account. The compensation expense resulting from the release of the Common Stock from the suspense account and allocation to plan participants results in a corresponding reduction in CBM’sthe Company’s earnings.

Contributions to the employee stock ownership planESOP and shares released from the suspense account in an amount proportional to the repayment of the employee stock ownership planESOP loan are allocated among employee stock ownership planESOP participants on the basis of compensation in the year of allocation. Vested benefits are payable in the form of shares of Common Stock and/or cash. The Bank’s contributions to the employee stock ownership planESOP are discretionary, subject to the loan terms and tax law limits. Therefore, benefits payable under the employee stock

ownership planESOP cannot be estimated. Pursuant to Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification Topic

718-40, we are required to record compensation expense each year in an amount equal to the fair market value of the shares released from the suspense account. The employee stock ownership planESOP will terminate in the event of a change in control. For the ESOP plan year ended December 31, 2018,2020, a total of 33,856 CBM shares were allocated as a result of the repayment of $338,560 of ESOP loan principal. The ESOP accounts for Mr. Solomon, Mr. Bocek and Ms. Beal were credited with approximately 2,4581,971 shares, 3,2092,876 shares and 2,0791,991 shares, respectively, as a result of the 20182020 ESOP plan year allocation.

RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

The Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 generally prohibits us from making loans to our executive officers and directors, but it contains a specific exemption from such prohibition for loans made by the Bank to our executive officers and directors in compliance with federal banking regulations.

During the year ended December 31, 2018,2020, all of our loans to directors and executive officers were made in the ordinary course of business, were made on substantially the same terms, including interest rates and collateral, as those prevailing at the time for comparable loans with persons not related to the Bank, and did not involve more than the normal risk of collectability or present other unfavorable features. These loans were performing according to their original terms during the year ended December 31, 2018,2020, and were made in compliance with federal banking regulations.

Pursuant to our Policy and Procedures for Approval of Related Person Transactions, the Audit Committee periodically reviews, no less frequently than twice a year, a summary of transactions in excess of $25,000 with our directors, executive officers, and their family members, for the purpose of determining whether the transactions are within our policies and should be ratified and approved. Additionally, pursuant to our Code of Conduct, all of our executive officers and directors must disclose any personal or financial interest in any matter that comes before the Bank.

PROPOSAL III—APPROVAL OF THE CBM BANCORP, INC.

2019 EQUITY INCENTIVE PLAN

The Board of Directors has adopted, subject to stockholder approval, the CBM Bancorp, Inc. 2019 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2019 Equity Incentive Plan”), to provide officers, employees and directors of CBM and the Bank with additional incentives to promote the growth and performance of CBM and the Bank. The Board of Directors and the Compensation Committee believe that the adoption of the 2019 Equity Incentive Plan is in the best interests of CBM and its stockholders as such plan will provide the Bank with the ability to retain and reward and, to the extent necessary, attract and incentivize its employees, officers and directors to promote growth, improve performance and further align their interests with those of CBM’s stockholders through the ownership of additional Common Stock of CBM

Why We Are Seeking Approval of the 2019 Equity Incentive Plan

Many companies that we compete with for directors and management-level and other senior employees are public companies that offer equity compensation as part of their overall director and executive compensation programs. By approving the 2019 Equity Incentive Plan, our stockholders will give us the flexibility we need to continue to attract and retain highly qualified officers, employees and directors by offering a competitive compensation program including a portion of compensation that is linked to the performance of our Common Stock. In addition, the 2019 Equity Incentive Plan is intended to further align the interests of our directors and management with the interests of our stockholders by potentially increasing the ownership interests of directors and officers in the Common Stock of CBM.

We completed our reorganization and stock offering on September 27, 2018, raising approximately $42.3 million in gross proceeds. A substantial majority of financial institutions that complete amutual-to-stock reorganizations have adopted an equity-based incentive plan following the transaction. Our prospectus made clear our intent to adopt an equity incentive plan and described the regulatory requirements potentially applicable to a plan. Our prospectus also included the pro forma effect of awards which may be granted under an equity incentive plan.

Highlights of the 2019 Equity Incentive Plan

Share Reserve and Terms Consistent with Industry Standards. In determining the size and terms of the 2019 Equity Incentive Plan, the Board of Directors and Compensation Committee considered a number of factors, including: (1) industry practices related to the adoption of equity-incentive plans by financial institutions following mutual holding company reorganization or amutual-to-stock conversion; and (2) applicable regulations related to the adoption of equity-incentive plans by converted financial institutions. The maximum number of shares of Common Stock that may delivered pursuant to the exercise of stock options is 10% of the number of shares of Common Stock issued in the reorganization and stock offering (a maximum of 423,200 shares to be subject to stock options) and the maximum number of shares of Common Stock that may be issued as restricted stock is 4.0% of the number of shares of Common Stock issued in the reorganization and stock offering (a maximum of 169,280 shares of restricted stock).

Minimum Vesting Periods for Awards. Except in the event of death or disability of a participant or upon a change in control, the 2019 Equity Incentive Plan requires a minimum vesting rate for awards of 20% per year, with the first installment vesting on theone-year anniversary of the date of grant.

Limits on Grants to Directors. Eachnon-employee director who is in the service of CBM immediately following the 2019 annual stockholder meeting will automatically be granted 21,160 stock options, which represents approximately 5.0% of the maximum number of stock options available for grant, and eachnon-employee director will automatically be granted 8,464 restricted stock awards, which represents approximately 5.0% of the maximum number of restricted stock awards available for grant.

17


Limits on Grants to Employees. The maximum number of shares of Common Stock that may be delivered to any one employee pursuant to the exercise of stock options and pursuant to restricted stock awards is 25% of the shares available for grant or award, respectively, under the 2019 Equity Incentive Plan.

Share Counting. The 2019 Equity Incentive Plan provides that, if an award is forfeited or expires, the shares covered by the award will be available for future grant, while shares withheld to cover taxes or used to pay the exercise price of stock options will not be available for future grant.

NoCash-Out or Repricing of Underwater Options. The 2019 Equity Incentive Plan prohibits repricing of stock options, and there will not be any exchange of underwater options for cash or shares without stockholder approval.

Awards Subject to Clawback. Awards granted under the 2019 Equity Incentive Plan are subject to recoupment by the Company if the Company is required to prepare an accounting restatement due to material noncompliance by the Company, as a result of misconduct with any financial reporting requirement under the federal securities laws or the forfeiture provisions of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. Awards may also be subject to recoupment under any other policy adopted by the Company from time to time

Market Purchases of CBM Common Stock to Fund Restricted Stock Awards.It is CBM’s present intention to fund the Restricted Stock Awards through open-market purchases of its Common Stock, which will avoid any dilution to current stockholders. Such purchases may be made during the first year following CBM’s reorganization and stock offering after written notice is made to the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System. CBM may also elect in the future to purchase Common Stock in the open-market for delivery upon the exercise of Stock Option Awards, which will avoid dilution of then current stockholders.

General

The following is a summary of the material features of the 2019 Equity Incentive Plan, which is qualified in its entirety by reference to the provisions of the 2019 Equity Incentive Plan, attached hereto asAppendix A. In the event of conflict between the terms of this disclosure and the terms of the 2019 Equity Incentive Plan, the terms of the 2019 Equity Incentive Plan will control.

Subject to permitted adjustments for certain corporate transactions, the 2019 Equity Incentive Plan authorizes the issuance or delivery to participants of up to 592,480 shares of CBM Common Stock pursuant to grants of incentive andnon-qualified stock options and restricted stock awards. Of this number, the maximum number of shares of CBM Common Stock that may be issued under the 2019 Equity Incentive Plan pursuant to the exercise of stock options is 423,200 shares, and the maximum number of shares of CBM Common Stock that may be issued as restricted stock awards is 169,280 shares. These amounts represent 10% and 4%, respectively, of the number of shares of Common Stock issued in the stock conversion of the Banks of the Chesapeake, MHC and the stock offering of CBM.

The 2019 Equity Incentive Plan will be administered by the members of the Compensation Committee (the “Committee”) who are “Disinterested Board Members,” as defined in the 2019 Equity Incentive Plan. The Committee has full and exclusive power within the limitations set forth in the 2019 Equity Incentive Plan to make all decisions and determinations regarding: (1) the selection of participants and the granting of awards; (2) establishing the terms and conditions relating to each award; (3) adopting rules, regulations and guidelines for carrying out the 2019 Equity Incentive Plan’s purposes; and (4) interpreting the provisions of the 2019 Equity Incentive Plan and any award agreement.

Except for accelerating the vesting of awards in a manner contrary to the minimum requirements specified in the plan, the Compensation Committee has the authority to reduce, eliminate or accelerate any restrictions or vesting requirements applicable to an award at any time after the grant of the award or to extend the time period to exercise a stock option, provided that such extension is consistent with Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code.

18


Eligibility

Each employee or director of CBM or any subsidiary is eligible to receive awards under the 2019 Equity Incentive Plan, except thatnon-employees may not be granted incentive stock options.

Types of Awards

The Committee may determine the type and terms and conditions of awards under the 2019 Equity Incentive Plan, which will be set forth in an award agreement delivered to each participant. Awards may be granted as incentive stock options andnon-qualified stock options, restricted stock awards or any combination thereof, as follows.

Stock Options. A stock option gives the recipient or “optionee” the right to purchase shares of Common Stock at a specified price for a specified period of time. The exercise price may not be less than the fair market value of CBM’s Common Stock on the date the stock option is granted. Fair market value for purposes of the 2019 Equity Incentive Plan means the final sales price of CBM’s Common Stock as reported on any national securities exchange on which the Common Stock may from time to time be listed or traded on the date the option is granted, or if CBM’s Common Stock was not traded on such date, then on the day prior to such date or on the next preceding day on which CBM’s Common Stock was traded, and without regard to after-hours trading activity. The Committee will determine the fair market value, in accordance with Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code and applicable requirements of Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code, if it cannot be determined in the manner described herein. Further, the Committee may not grant a stock option with an exercise term that is longer than 10 years.

Stock options are either “incentive” stock options or“non-qualified” stock options. Incentive stock options may have certain tax advantages for an employee’s benefit and must comply with the requirements of Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code. Only employees are eligible to receive incentive stock options. Shares of Common Stock purchased upon the exercise of a stock option must be paid for in full at the time of exercise: (1) either in cash or with stock valued at fair market value as of the day of exercise; (2) by a “cashless exercise” through a third party; (3) by a net settlement of the stock option using a portion of the shares obtained on exercise in payment of the exercise price of the stock option; (4) by personal, certified or cashiers’ check; or (5) by a combination of the foregoing. Stock options are subject to vesting conditions and restrictions in accordance with the 2019 Equity Incentive Plan and as determined by the Committee.

Restricted Stock. A restricted stock award is a grant of Common Stock, subject to vesting requirements, to a participant for no consideration or minimum consideration as may be required by applicable law. Restricted stock awards under the 2019 Equity Incentive Plan will be granted only in whole shares of Common Stock and are subject to vesting conditions and other restrictions established by the Committee as set forth in the 2019 Equity Incentive Plan or the award agreement. Awards will be evidenced by award agreements approved by the Committee, which set forth the terms and conditions of each award. Prior to their vesting, unless otherwise determined by the Committee, the recipient of a restricted stock award represented by issued and outstanding Common Stock issued in the name of the award recipient may exercise any voting rights with respect to such Common Stock. Unless the Committee determines otherwise with respect to any Restricted Stock Award and specifies such determination in the relevant Award Agreement, any dividends or distributions declared and paid with respect to shares of Common Stock subject to the Restricted Stock Award shall be immediately distributed to the participant based upon the dividend payment date.

Limitations on Awards under the 2019 Equity Incentive Plan

The following limits apply to awards under the 2019 Equity Incentive Plan:

The maximum number of shares of Common Stock that may be available for awards under the 2019 Equity Incentive Plan is 592,480 shares, of which up to 423,200 shares of Common Stock may be delivered pursuant to the exercise of stock options and 169,280 shares of Common Stock may be issued pursuant to restricted stock awards.

19


The maximum number of shares of Common Stock that may be delivered to any one employee pursuant to the exercise of stock options and pursuant to restricted stock awards is 105,800 shares and 42,320 shares, respectively (all of which may be granted in any one calendar year). Such maximum amount represents 25% of the maximum number of shares of Common Stock that may be delivered pursuant to the exercise of stock options and 25% of the number of shares of Common Stock that may be issued pursuant to restricted stock awards.

Eachnon-employee director who is in the service of CBM immediately following the 2019 annual stockholder meeting will automatically be granted 21,160 stock options, which represents 5% of the maximum number of stock options available for grant, and eachnon-employee director will automatically be granted 8,464 restricted stock awards, which represents 5% of the maximum number of restricted stock awards available for grant. Such amounts represents the maximum number of shares of Common Stock that may be delivered pursuant to the exercise of stock options and the maximum number of shares of Common Stock that may be issued pursuant to restricted stock awards to any individualnon-employee director under the 2019 Equity Incentive Plan. Such awards may be granted all in any one calendar year and will be subject to applicable vesting schedules.

The maximum number of shares of Common Stock that may be delivered to allnon-employee directors, in the aggregate, pursuant to the exercise of stock options and the issuance of restricted stock awards is 30% of the maximum number of shares of Common Stock that may be delivered pursuant to the exercise of stock options and 30% of the maximum number of shares of Common Stock that may be issued pursuant to restricted stock awards under the Plan.

In the event of a corporate transaction involving the stock of CBM (including, without limitation, any stock dividend, stock split or other special and nonrecurring dividend or distribution, recapitalization, reorganization, merger, consolidation,spin-off, combination or exchange of shares), the Committee will, in an equitable manner, adjust the number and kind of securities deemed to be available for grants of stock options, restricted stock awards, the number and kind of securities that may be delivered or deliverable with respect to outstanding stock options, restricted stock awards and the exercise price of stock options. In addition, the Committee is authorized to make adjustments to the terms and conditions of stock options and restricted stock awards not otherwise inconsistent with the terms of the 2019 Equity Incentive Plan.

Prohibition Against Repricing of Options. The 2019 Equity Incentive Plan provides that neither the Committee nor the Board is authorized to make any adjustment or amendment that reduces or would have the effect of reducing the exercise price of a stock option that has been previously granted, except for equitable adjustments noted above related to certain corporate transaction.

Prohibition on Transfer. Generally, all awards, exceptnon-qualified stock options, granted under the 2019 Equity Incentive Plan will be nontransferable except by will or in accordance with the laws of intestate succession. Restricted stock awards may be transferable pursuant to a qualified domestic relations order. At the Committee’s sole discretion,non-qualified stock options may be transferred for valid estate planning purposes that are permitted by the Internal Revenue Code and federal securities laws. During the life of the participant, awards can be exercised only by the participant. The Committee may permit a participant to designate a beneficiary to exercise or receive any rights that may exist under the 2019 Equity Incentive Plan upon the participant’s death.

Vesting of Awards

The Committee will specify the vesting schedule or conditions of each award. Unless the Committee specifies a different vesting schedule at the time of grant, awards under the 2019 Equity Incentive Plan must be granted with a vesting rate not exceeding 20% per year. Vesting may be accelerated in the event of death or disability of a participant or upon a change in control. For a participant who is a director, termination of service as a director will not be deemed to have occurred if he or she continues as a director emeritus or advisory director. For a participant who is both an employee and a director, termination of employment as an employee will not be considered a termination event so long as the participant continues to provide service as a director, director emeritus or advisory director.

20


Change in Control

Unless otherwise stated in an award agreement, upon a change in control, all stock options then held by the participant will become fully earned and exercisable (subject to the expiration provisions otherwise applicable to the stock option) and all awards of restricted stock will become fully earned and vested immediately.

Amendment and Termination

The Board of Directors may, at any time, amend or terminate the 2019 Equity Incentive Plan or any award granted under the 2019 Equity Incentive Plan, provided that, except as provided in the 2019 Equity Incentive Plan, no amendment or termination may adversely impair the rights of a participant or beneficiary under an award without the participant’s (or affected beneficiary’s) written consent. The Board of Directors may not amend the 2019 Equity Incentive Plan to materially increase the benefits accruing to participants under the plan, materially increase the aggregate number of securities that may be issued under the 2019 Equity Incentive Plan (other than as provided in the 2019 Equity Incentive Plan), or materially modify the requirements for participation in the 2019 Equity Incentive Plan, without approval of stockholders. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Committee may amend the 2019 Equity Incentive Plan or any award agreement, to take effect retroactively or otherwise, to conform the 2019 Equity Incentive Plan or the award agreement to current or future law or to avoid an accounting treatment resulting from an accounting pronouncement or interpretation issued by the SEC or Financial Accounting Standards Board subsequent to the adoption of the 2019 Equity Incentive Plan, or the making of the award affected thereby, which, in the sole discretion of the Committee, may materially and adversely affect the financial condition or results of operations of CBM.

Cash Payment in Lieu of Delivery of Shares.

Upon the exercise of a stock option, the Committee, in its sole and absolute discretion, may make a cash payment to the participant, in whole or in part, in lieu of the delivery of shares of Common Stock. Such cash payment to be paid in lieu of delivery of Common Stock shall be equal to the difference between the Fair Market Value of the Stock on the date of the stock option exercise and the exercise price per share of the stock option. Such cash payment shall be in exchange for the cancellation of such stock option. Such cash payment shall not be made in the event that such transaction would result in liability to the participant or the Company under Section 16(b) of the Securities Exchange Act and regulations promulgated thereunder, or subject the participant to additional tax liabilities related to such cash payments pursuant to Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code. The Committee may, in its sole discretion, determine that upon a Change in Control of the Company each outstanding stock option shall be cancelled in exchange for a cash payment equal to the difference between the Fair Market Value of the shares of Common Stock on the date of the stock option cancellation and the Exercise Price per share of the stock option.

Duration of Plan

The 2019 Equity Incentive Plan will become effective upon the date of approval by the stockholders at the 2019 annual stockholder meeting. The 2019 Equity Incentive Plan will remain in effect as long as any awards under it are outstanding; however, no awards may be granted under the 2019 Equity Incentive Plan on or after the10-year anniversary of the effective date of the 2019 Equity Incentive Plan. At any time, the Board of Directors may terminate the 2019 Equity Incentive Plan. However, any termination of the 2019 Equity Incentive Plan will not affect outstanding awards.

Federal Income Tax Considerations

The following is a summary of the federal income tax consequences that may arise in conjunction with participation in the 2019 Equity Incentive Plan.

Non-Qualified Stock Options. The grant of anon-qualified option will not result in taxable income to the participant. Except as described below, the participant will realize ordinary income at the time of option exercise in an amount equal to the excess of the fair market value of the shares acquired over the exercise price for those shares, and CBM will be entitled to a corresponding deduction for tax purposes. Gains or losses realized by the participant upon disposition of such shares will be treated as capital gains and losses, with the cost basis in such shares equal to the fair market value of the shares at the time of exercise.

21


Incentive Stock Options. The grant of an incentive stock option will not result in taxable income to the participant. The exercise of an incentive stock option also will not result in taxable income to the participant provided the participant was, without a break in service, an employee of CBM or a subsidiary during the period beginning on the date of the grant of the option and ending on the date three months prior to the date of exercise (one year prior to the date of exercise if the participant is disabled, as that term is defined in the Internal Revenue Code).

The excess of the fair market value of the shares at the time of the exercise of an incentive stock option over the exercise price is an adjustment that is included in the calculation of the participant’s alternative minimum taxable income for the tax year in which the incentive stock option is exercised. For purposes of determining the participant’s alternative minimum tax liability for the year of disposition of the shares acquired pursuant to the incentive stock option exercise, the participant will have a basis in those shares equal to the fair market value of the shares at the time of exercise.

If the participant does not sell or otherwise dispose of the shares within two years from the date of the grant of the incentive stock option or within one year after the exercise of such stock option, then, upon disposition of such shares, any amount realized in excess of the exercise price will be taxed as a capital gain. A capital loss will be recognized to the extent that the amount realized is less than the exercise price.

If the foregoing holding period requirements are not met, the participant will generally realize ordinary income at the time of the disposition of the shares, in an amount equal to the lesser of: (1) the excess of the fair market value of the shares on the date of exercise over the exercise price; or (2) the excess, if any, of the amount realized upon disposition of the shares over the exercise price, and CBM will be entitled to a corresponding deduction. If the amount realized exceeds the value of the shares on the date of exercise, any additional amount will be a capital gain. If the amount realized is less than the exercise price, the participant will recognize no income, and a capital loss will be recognized equal to the excess of the exercise price over the amount realized upon the disposition of the shares.

Restricted Stock. A participant who has been granted a restricted stock award will not realize taxable income at the time of grant, provided that the stock subject to the award is not delivered at the time of grant, or if the stock is delivered, it is subject to restrictions that constitute a “substantial risk of forfeiture” for federal income tax purposes. Upon the later of delivery or vesting of shares subject to an award, the holder will realize ordinary income in an amount equal to the then fair market value of those shares, and CBM will be entitled to a corresponding deduction for tax purposes. Gains or losses realized by the participant upon disposition of such shares will be treated as capital gains and losses, with the basis in such shares equal to the fair market value of the shares at the time of delivery or vesting. Dividends paid to the holder during the restriction period, if so provided, will be compensation income to the participant, and CBM will be entitled to a corresponding deduction for tax purposes. A participant who makes an election under Section 83(b) of the Internal Revenue Code will include the full fair market value of the restricted stock award in taxable income in the year of grant at the grant date fair market value.

Withholding of Taxes. CBM may withhold amounts from employee-participants to satisfy withholding tax requirements. Except as otherwise provided by the Committee, employee-participants may have shares withheld from awards to satisfy the minimum tax withholding requirements or an amount up to the participant’s highest marginal tax rate required for federal, state and local tax withholding, provided such withholding does not result in adverse accounting consequences to CBM.

Change in Control. Any acceleration of the vesting or payment of awards under the 2019 Equity Incentive Plan in the event of a change in control may cause part or all of the consideration involved to be treated as an “excess parachute payment” under Section 280G of the Internal Revenue Code, which may subject the participant to a 20% excise tax and preclude deduction for federal tax purposes by CBM related to the awards.

Deduction Limits. Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code generally limits the ability to deduct for tax purposes compensation in excess of $1.0 million per year for the chief executive officer, chief financial officer and other executive officers named in the summary compensation table (each, a “covered employee”) included in our annual proxy statement, as well as any employee who has been designated a covered employee for any fiscal year beginning after December 31, 2016. Compensation resulting from awards under the 2019 Equity Incentive Plan will be counted toward the $1.0 million limit.

22


Tax Advice. The preceding discussion is based on federal tax laws and regulations currently in effect, which are subject to change, and the discussion does not purport to be a complete description of the federal income tax aspects of the 2019 Equity Incentive Plan. A participant may also be subject to state and local taxes in connection with the grant of awards under the 2019 Equity Incentive Plan. CBM suggests that participants consult with their individual tax advisors to determine the applicability of the tax rules to the awards granted to them in their personal circumstances.

Accounting Treatment

Under Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 718, CBM is required to recognize compensation expense on its income statement over the requisite service period or performance period based on the grant date fair value of stock options and other equity-based compensation (such as restricted stock).

Possible Dilutive Effects of the 2019 Equity Incentive Plan.

It is CBM’s present intention to fund the Restricted Stock Awards through open-market purchases of its Common Stock, which will avoid any dilutive effect to current stockholders. Such purchases may be made during the first year following CBM’s reorganization and stock offering after written notice is made to the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System. The 2019 Equity Incentive Plan provides that Common Stock to be awarded may be acquired by the plan through open-market purchases or from authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock from CBM. To the extent that authorized but unissued shares are utilized to fund Restricted Stock Awards, the interests of current stockholders may be diluted. If all Restricted Stock Awards authorized under the plan, or 169,280 shares of Common Stock, are funded with newly issued shares, the dilutive effect to then current stockholders would be approximately 3.8%.

The CBM Common Stock to be issued upon the exercise of stock options awarded under the 2019 Equity Incentive Plan may either be from authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock or shares purchased in the open market. In that CBM stockholders do not have preemptive rights, to the extent that CBM funds stock option exercises under the 2019 Equity Incentive Plan, in whole or in part, with authorized but unissued shares, the interests of then current stockholders may be diluted. If upon the exercise of all of the stock options, CBM delivers newly issued shares of Common Stock, or 423,200 shares of Common Stock, the dilutive effect to then current stockholders would be approximately 9.1%. CBM can avoid dilution resulting from the exercise of stock options by delivering shares purchased in the open market upon the exercise of stock options.

Such stock options and restricted stock awards will vest over a five-year period, with 20% becoming vested after the completion of one year of service following the date of grant and then 20% percent becoming vested each year of continued service thereafter for the next four years. The exercise price of the stock options will equal the fair market value of CBM Common Stock on the actual date of grant. Notwithstanding the foregoing, these awards would vest fully upon death or disability of the award recipient or upon a change in control of CBM or the Bank.

The Compensation Committee reviewed market information regarding awards made to directors and senior management of other financial institutions that had undertaken amutual-to-stock conversion and related stock offering. The Compensation Committee believes the proposed awards are reasonable, are intended to align the economic interest of the directors and senior management with that of other stockholders, and are consistent with prevailing compensation practices in the competitive marketplace by similarly-situated financial institutions.

Any future grants to officers, employees and directors under the 2019 Equity Incentive Plan will be determined in the discretion of the Compensation Committee.

Clawback Policy

The 2019 Equity Incentive Plan provides that if CBM is required to prepare an accounting restatement due to its material noncompliance, as a result of misconduct, with any financial reporting requirement under the federal securities laws, any participant who is subject to automatic forfeiture under Section 304 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 or who is subject to clawback under Section 954 of the Dodd-Frank Act must reimburse CBM with the required amount of any payment in settlement of an award earned or accrued during the12-month period following the first public issuance or filing with the SEC (whichever first occurred) of the financial document embodying such financial reporting requirement. In addition, awards granted under the 2019 Equity Incentive Plan are subject to any clawback policy adopted by the Board of Directors.

25


Regulatory Requirements

In that the Company is seeking shareholder approval of the 2019 Equity Incentive Plan within one year following the completion of its reorganization andmutual-to-stock conversion of Banks of the Chesapeake, MHC, the plan is drafted to comply with the requirements and limitations of the applicable federal banking regulations at 12 CFR 239.63(a); however, compliance with such regulations does not constitute endorsement or approval of the plan by the federal banking regulators.The Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve does not endorse or approve the 2019 Equity Incentive Plan in any way.

Required Vote and Recommendation of the Board

In order to approve the 2019 Equity Incentive Plan, the proposal must receive the affirmative vote of a majority of the total votes eligible to be cast at the Annual Meeting. Abstentions and brokernon-votes will have the same effect as votes against the proposal.    

THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS A VOTE “FOR” THE APPROVAL OF THE 2019 EQUITY INCENTIVE PLAN

Securities Authorized for Issuance Under Equity Compensation Plans.At December 31, 2018, there were no compensation plans (including individual compensation arrangements) under which CBM equity securities are authorized for issuance.

STOCKHOLDER PROPOSALS

In order to be considered for inclusion in the Company’s proxy materials for the 20202022 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, to held on or about May 14, 2020, 11, 2022, all stockholder proposals must be received at the executive office of the Company at 2001 East Joppa Road, Baltimore, Maryland 21234 by December 10, 2019.2021.

ARTICLE 1 – GENERAL

Section 1.1Purpose, Effective Date and Term. The purpose of the CBM Bancorp, Inc. 2019 Equity Incentive Plan (the “Plan”) is to promote the long-term financial success of CBM Bancorp, Inc. (the “Company”), and its Subsidiaries, including Chesapeake Bank of Maryland (the “Bank”), by providing a means to attract, retain and reward individuals who contribute to such success and to further align their interests with those of the Company’s stockholders through the ownership of additional common stock of the Company. The Plan also provides eligible Participants with an opportunity to acquire an ownership interest, or otherwise increase their ownership interest, in the Company as an additional incentive for them to remain in the service of the Company and the Bank. The “Effective Date” of the Plan shall be the date the Plan satisfies the applicable stockholder approval requirements. The Plan shall remain in effect as long as any Awards are outstanding;provided, however, that no Awards may be granted under the Plan after the day immediately prior to theten-year anniversary of the Effective Date.

Section 1.2Administration. The Plan shall be administered by the Board of Directors of the Company or the Compensation Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Committee”) in accordance with Section 5.1.

Section 1.3Participation. Each Employee or Director of the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company who is granted an Award in accordance with the terms of the Plan shall be a “Participant” in the Plan. The grant of Awards shall be limited to Employees and Directors of the Company or any Subsidiary.

Section 1.4Definitions. Capitalized terms used in this Plan are defined in Article 9 and elsewhere in this Plan.

ARTICLE 2 – AWARDS

Section 2.1General. Any Award under the Plan may be granted singularly or in combination with another Award (or Awards). Each Award under the Plan shall be subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan and such additional terms, conditions, limitations and restrictions as the Committee shall provide with respect to such Award and as evidenced in the Award Agreement. Subject to the provisions of Section 2.6, an Award may be granted as an alternative to or replacement of an existing Award under the Plan or any other plan of the Company or any Subsidiary or as the form of payment for grants or rights earned or due under any other compensation plan or arrangement of the Company or its Subsidiaries, including without limitation,` the plan of any entity acquired by the Company or any Subsidiary. The types of Awards that may be granted under the Plan include:

(a)Stock Options. A Stock Option means a grant under Section 2.2 that represents the right to purchase shares of Stock at an Exercise Price established by the Committee. Any Stock Option may be either an Incentive Stock Option (an “ISO”) that is intended to satisfy the requirements applicable to an “Incentive Stock Option” described in Code Section 422(b), or aNon-Qualified Stock Option (a “Non-Qualified Option”) that is not intended to be an ISO; provided, however, that no ISOs may be granted: (i) after the day immediately prior to theten-year anniversary of the Effective Date; or (ii) to anon-employee. Unless otherwise specifically provided by its

A-1


terms, any Stock Option granted to an Employee under this Plan shall be an ISO to the maximum extent permitted. Any ISO granted under this Plan that does not qualify as an ISO for any reason (whether at the time of grant or as the result of a subsequent event) shall be deemed to be aNon-Qualified Option. In addition, any ISO granted under this Plan may be unilaterally modified by the Committee to disqualify such Stock Option from ISO treatment such that it shall become aNon-Qualified Option; provided, however, that any such modification shall be ineffective if it causes the Award to be subject to Code Section 409A (unless, as modified, the Award complies with Code Section 409A).

(b)Restricted Stock Awards. A Restricted Stock Award means a grant of shares of Stock under Section 2.3 for no consideration or such minimum consideration as may be required by applicable law, either alone or in addition to other Awards granted under the Plan, subject to a vesting schedule.

Section 2.2Stock Options.

(a)Grant of Stock Options. Each Stock Option shall be evidenced by an Award Agreement that shall: (i) specify the number of Stock Options covered by the Award; (ii) specify the date of grant of the Stock Option; (iii) specify the vesting period or other conditions to vesting; (iv) the Exercise Price; and (v) contain such other terms and conditions not inconsistent with the Plan, including the effect of termination of a Participant’s employment or Service with the Company as the Committee may, in its discretion, prescribe.

(b)Terms and Conditions. A Stock Option shall be exercisable in accordance with such terms and conditions and during such periods as may be established by the Committee. In no event, however, shall a Stock Option expire later than ten (10) years after the date of its grant (or five (5) years with respect to ISOs granted to an Employee who is a 10% Stockholder). The “Exercise Price” of each Stock Option shall not be less than 100% of the Fair Market Value of a share of Stock on the date of grant (or, if greater, the par value of a share of Stock);provided, however,that the Exercise Price of an ISO shall not be less than 110% of Fair Market Value of a share of Stock on the date of grant if granted to a 10% Stockholder; provided further, that the Exercise Price may be higher or lower in the case of Stock Options granted or exchanged in replacement of existing Awards held by an Employee or Director of, or service provider to, an acquired entity.

(c)Method of Exercise. Subject to the other terms and conditions hereof, a Participant may exercise any Stock Option, to the extent such Stock Option is vested, by giving written notice of exercise to the Company, provided, however, that in no event shall a Stock Option be exercisable for a fractional share. The date of exercise of a Stock Option shall be the later of: (i) the date on which the Company receives such written notice; and (ii) the date on which the Participant pays the applicable Exercise Price pursuant to this Section 2.2(c). The payment of the Exercise Price of a Stock Option shall be by cash or, subject to limitations imposed by applicable law, by such other means as the Committee may from time to time permit, including: (i) by tendering, either actually or constructively by attestation, shares of Stock valued at Fair Market Value as of the day of exercise; (ii) by irrevocably authorizing a third party, acceptable to the Committee, to sell shares of Stock (or a sufficient portion of the shares) acquired upon exercise of the Stock Option and to remit to the Company a sufficient portion of the sale proceeds to pay the entire Exercise Price and any tax withholding resulting from such exercise; (iii) by a net settlement of the Stock Option, using a portion of the shares obtained on exercise in payment of the Exercise Price of the Stock Option (and if applicable, any required tax withholding, to the extent permitted under the Plan); (iv) by personal, certified or cashier’s check; or (v) by any combination thereof. The total number of shares that may be acquired upon the exercise of a Stock Option shall be rounded down to the nearest whole share, withcash-in-lieu paid by the Company, at its discretion, for the value of any fractional share.

(d)Prohibition of CashBuy-Outs of Underwater Stock Options.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company may in its sole discretion issue Restricted Stock in any other approved format (e.g., electronically or by book-entry form) in order to facilitate the paperless transfer of such Awards. In the event Restricted Stock is not issued in certificate form, the Company and the transfer agent shall maintain appropriate bookkeeping entries that evidence Participants’ ownership of such Awards. Restricted Stock that is not issued in certificate form shall be subject to the same terms and conditions of the Plan as certificated shares, including the restrictions on transferability and the provision of a stock power executed by the Participant in favor of the Company, until the satisfaction of the conditions to which the Restricted Stock Award is subject. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Committee shall distribute to a Participant the Stock vested in accordance with a Restricted Stock Award, or portion thereof, within thirty days following the date of such vesting.

(b) Terms and Conditions.Each Restricted Stock Award shall be subject to the following terms and conditions:

If the Committee determines to delay the distribution of dividends to a Participant until the vesting of an Award of Restricted Stock, the Committee shall cause the dividend (and any earnings thereon) to be distributed to the Participant no later than two andone-half months following the date on which the Restricted Stock vests.

(ii) Voting Rights.Unless the Committee determines otherwise with respect to any Restricted Stock Award and specifies such determination in the relevant Award Agreement, a Participant shall have voting rights related to the unvested,non-forfeited Restricted Stock which has been issued in the name of

A-3


a Participant and is represented by issued and outstanding Stock, and such voting rights shall be exercised by the Participant in his or her discretion. Any shares of Stock held by the Trust prior to issuance to a Participant shall be voted by the Trustee of such Trust as directed by the Committee.

(iii) Tender Offers and Merger Elections.Each Participant to whom a Restricted Stock Award is granted shall have the right to respond, or to direct the response, with respect to the related shares of Restricted Stock, to any tender offer, exchange offer, cash/stock merger consideration election or other offer made to, or elections made by, the holders of shares of Stock. Such a direction for any such shares of Restricted Stock shall be given by proxy or ballot (if the Participant is the beneficial owner of the shares of Restricted Stock for voting purposes) or by completing and filing, with the inspector of elections, the trustee or such other person who shall be independent of the Company as the Committee shall designate in the direction (if the Participant is not such a beneficial owner), a written direction in the form and manner prescribed by the Committee. If no such direction is given, then the shares of Restricted Stock shall not be tendered.

(iv)Other Matters. The conditions for granting or vesting and the other provisions of Restricted Stock Awards need not be the same with respect to each recipient.

Section 2.4Vesting of Awards. The Committee shall specify the vesting schedule or conditions of each Award; provided that, except in the event of the death or Disability of a Participant or upon a Change of Control, Awards under the Plan awarded to an Employee or a Director shall be granted with a vesting rate not more rapid than twenty percent (20%) per year, with the first installment vesting no earlier than theone-year anniversary of the date of grant. The Committee may provide for the acceleration of vesting in the event of the Participant’s death or Disability or upon a Change in Control, which terms shall be set forth in the Award Agreement.

Section 2.5Deferred Compensation. If any Award would be considered “deferred compensation” as defined under Code Section 409A (“Deferred Compensation”), the Committee reserves the absolute right (including the right to delegate such right) to unilaterally amend the Plan or the Award Agreement, without the consent of the Participant, to maintain exemption from, or to comply with, Code Section 409A. Any amendment by the Committee to the Plan or an Award Agreement pursuant to this Section shall maintain, to the extent practicable, the original intent of the applicable provision without violating Code Section 409A. A Participant’s acceptance of any Award under the Plan constitutes acknowledgement and consent to such rights of the Committee, without further consideration or action. Any discretionary authority retained by the Committee pursuant to the terms of this Plan or pursuant to an Award Agreement shall not be applicable to an Award which is determined to constitute Deferred Compensation, if such discretionary authority would contravene Code Section 409A.

Section 2.6Prohibition Against Option Repricing. Except for adjustments pursuant to Section 3.4, and reductions of the Exercise Price approved by the Company’s stockholders, neither the Committee nor the Board shall have the right or authority to make any adjustment or amendment that reduces or would have the effect of reducing the Exercise Price of a Stock Option previously granted under the Plan, whether through amendment, cancellation (including cancellation in exchange for a cash payment in excess of the Stock Option’sin-the-money value or in exchange for Stock Options or other Awards) or replacement grants, or other means.

Section 2.7.Effect of Termination of Service on Awards.The Committee shall establish the effect of a Termination of Service on the continuation of rights and benefits available under an Award and, in so doing, may make distinctions based upon, among other things, the cause of Termination of Service and type of Award.

(b) In the event of a Termination of Service for Cause, all Stock Options granted to a Participant that have not been exercised and all Restricted Stock Awards granted to a Participant that have not vested as of the date of such Termination of Service for Cause shall expire and be forfeited as of such date of Termination of Service.

(c) Upon Termination of Service for reasons of Disability or death, all Stock Options shall be exercisable as to all shares subject to an outstanding Award, whether or not then exercisable, and all Restricted Stock Awards shall vest as to all shares subject to an outstanding Award, whether or not otherwise immediately vested, at the date of Termination of Service. Stock Options may be exercised for a period of one year following Termination of Service due to death or Disability or the remaining unexpired term of the Stock Option, if less;provided, however, that no Stock Option shall be eligible for treatment as an ISO in the event such Stock Option is exercised more than one year following Termination of Service due to Disability andprovided, further, in order to obtain ISO treatment for Stock Options exercised by heirs or devisees of an optionee, the optionee’s death must have occurred while employed or within three months of Termination of Service.

The Board (or if necessary to maintain compliance with the applicable listing standards, those members of the Board who are “independent directors” under the corporate governance statutes or rules of any Exchange on which the Company lists, has listed or seeks to list its securities) may, in their discretion, take any action and exercise any power, privilege or discretion conferred on the Committee under the Plan with the same force and effect under the Plan as if done or exercised by the Committee.

(f) The Committee will have the authority to: (i) suspend a Participant’s right to exercise a Stock Option during a blackout period (or similar restricted period) or to exercise in a particular manner (i.e., such as a “cashless exercise” or “broker-assisted exercise”) to the extent that the Committee deems it necessary or in the best interests of the Company in order to comply with the securities laws and regulations issued by the SEC (the “Blackout Period”); and (ii) to extend the period to exercise a Stock Option by a period of time equal to the Blackout Period, provided that such extension does not violate Section 409A of the Code, the Incentive Stock Option requirements or applicable laws and regulations.

Section 5.3Delegation by Committee. Except to the extent prohibited by applicable law, the applicable rules of an Exchange upon which the Company lists its shares or the Plan, or as necessary to comply with the exemptive provisions of Rule16b-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act, the Committee may allocate all or any portion of its responsibilities and powers to any one or more of its members and may delegate all or any part of its responsibilities and powers to any person or persons selected by it, including: (a) delegating to a committee of one or more members of the Board who are not“non-employee directors,” within the meaning of Rule16b-3, the authority to grant Awards under the Plan to eligible persons who are not then subject to Section 16 of the Exchange Act; or (b) delegating to a committee of one or more members of the Board who would be eligible to serve on the Compensation Committee of the Company pursuant to the listing requirements imposed by any Exchange on which the Company lists, has listed or seeks to list its securities, the authority to grant awards under the Plan. The acts of such delegates shall be treated hereunder as acts of the Committee and such delegates shall report regularly to the Committee regarding the delegated duties and responsibilities and any Awards so granted. Any such allocation or delegation may be revoked by the Committee at any time.

Section 5.4Information to be Furnished to Committee. As may be permitted by applicable law, the Company and its Subsidiaries shall furnish the Committee with such data and information as it determines may be required for it to discharge its duties.

Subject to applicable law, Participants and other persons entitled to benefits under the Plan must furnish the Committee such evidence, data or information as the Committee considers desirable to carry out the terms of the Plan.

Section 5.5Committee Action. The Committee shall hold such meetings, and may make such administrative rules and regulations, as it may deem proper. A majority of the members of the Committee shall constitute a quorum, and the action of a majority of the members of the Committee present at a meeting at which a quorum is present, as well as actions taken pursuant to the unanimous written consent of all of the members of the Committee without holding a meeting, shall be deemed to be actions of the Committee. Subject to Section 5.1, all actions of the Committee shall be final and conclusive and shall be binding upon the Company, Participants and all other interested parties. Any person dealing with the Committee shall be fully protected in relying upon any written notice, instruction, direction or other communication signed by a member of the Committee or by a representative of the Committee authorized to sign the same in its behalf.

ARTICLE 6—AMENDMENT AND TERMINATION

Section 6.1General. The Board may, as permitted by law, at any time, amend or terminate the Plan, and may amend any Award Agreement, provided that no amendment or termination (except as provided in Section 2.5, Section 3.4 and Section 6.2) may cause the Award to violate Code Section 409A, may cause the repricing of a Stock Option, or, in the absence of written consent to the change by the affected Participant (or, if the Participant is not then living, the affected beneficiary), adversely impair the rights of any Participant or beneficiary under any Award granted under the Plan prior to the date such amendment is adopted by the Board;provided, however, that, no amendment may (a) materially increase the benefits accruing to Participants under the Plan, (b) materially increase the aggregate number of securities which may be issued under the Plan, other than pursuant to Section 3.4, or (c) materially modify the requirements for participation in the Plan, unless the amendment under (a), (b) or (c) above is approved by the Company’s stockholders.

Section 6.2Amendment to Conform to Law and Accounting Changes. Notwithstanding any provision in this Plan or any Award Agreement to the contrary, the Committee may amend the Plan or any Award Agreement, to take effect retroactively or otherwise, as deemed necessary or advisable for the purpose of: (i) conforming the Plan or the Award Agreement to any present or future law relating to plans of this or similar nature (including, but not limited to, Code Section 409A); or (ii) avoiding an accounting treatment resulting from an accounting pronouncement or interpretation thereof issued by the SEC or Financial Accounting Standards Board subsequent to the adoption of the Plan or the making of the Award affected thereby, which, in the sole discretion of the Committee, may materially and adversely affect the financial condition or results of operations of the Company. By accepting an Award under this Plan, each Participant agrees and consents to any amendment made pursuant to this Section 6.2 or Section 2.5 to any Award granted under the Plan without further consideration or action.

ARTICLE 7—GENERAL TERMS

Section 7.1No Implied Rights.

(a) No Rights to Specific Assets.Neither a Participant nor any other person shall by reason of participation in the Plan acquire any right in or title to any assets, funds or property of the Company or any Subsidiary whatsoever, including any specific funds, assets, or other property which the Company or any Subsidiary, in its sole discretion, may set aside in anticipation of a liability under the Plan. A Participant shall have only a contractual right to the shares of Stock or amounts, if any, payable or distributable under the Plan, unsecured by any assets of the Company or any Subsidiary, and nothing contained in the Plan shall constitute a guarantee that the assets of the Company or any Subsidiary shall be sufficient to pay any benefits to any person. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company may establish a Trust in accordance with Article 8, herein, related to the acquisition and subsequent distribution of Stock associated with Restricted Stock Awards.

(b) No Contractual Right to Employment or Future Awards.The Plan does not constitute a contract of employment, and selection as a Participant will not give any participating Employee the right to be retained in the employ of the Company or any Subsidiary or any right or claim to any benefit under the Plan, unless such right or claim has specifically accrued under the terms of the Plan. No individual shall have the right to be selected to receive an Award under the Plan, or, having been so selected, to receive a future Award under the Plan.

(c) No Rights as a Stockholder. Except as otherwise provided in the Plan or in the Award Agreement, no Award under the Plan shall confer upon the holder thereof any rights as a stockholder of the Company prior to the date on which the individual fulfills all conditions for receipt of such rights.

A-11


Section 7.2Transferability. Except as otherwise so provided by the Committee, ISOs under the Plan are not transferable except: (i) as designated by the Participant by will or by the laws of descent and distribution; (ii) to a trust established by the Participant, if under Code Section 671 and applicable state law, the Participant is considered the sole beneficial owner of the Stock Option while held in trust; or (iii) between spouses incident to a divorce or pursuant to a domestic relations order, provided, however, in the case of a transfer within the meaning of this paragraph (iii), the Stock Option shall not qualify as an ISO as of the day of such transfer. The Committee shall have the discretion to permit the transfer of vested Stock Options (other than ISOs) under the Plan;provided, however, that such transfers shall be limited to Immediate Family Members of Participants, trusts and partnerships established for the primary benefit of such family members or to charitable organizations, and;provided, further, that such transfers are not made for consideration to the Participant.

Awards of Restricted Stock shall not be transferable prior to the time that such Awards vest in the Participant.

Section 7.3Designation of Beneficiaries. A Participant hereunder may file with the Company a written designation of a beneficiary or beneficiaries under this Plan and may from time to time revoke or amend any such designation (“Beneficiary Designation”). Any designation of beneficiary under this Plan shall be controlling over any other disposition, testamentary or otherwise (unless such disposition is pursuant to a domestic relations order);provided, however, that if the Committee is in doubt as to the entitlement of any such beneficiary to any Award, the Committee may determine to recognize only the legal representative of the Participant, in which case the Company, the Committee and the members thereof shall not be under any further liability to anyone.

Section 7.4Non-Exclusivity. Neither the adoption of this Plan by the Board nor the submission of the Plan to the stockholders of the Company for approval shall be construed as creating any limitations on the power of the Board or the Committee to adopt such other incentive arrangements as either may deem desirable, including, without limitation, the granting of Restricted Stock Awards or Stock Options and such arrangements may be either generally applicable or applicable only in specific cases.

Section 7.5Award Agreement. Each Award granted under the Plan shall be evidenced by an Award Agreement signed by the Participant. A copy of the Award Agreement, in any medium chosen by the Committee, shall be provided (or made available electronically) to the Participant.

Section 7.6Form and Time of Elections/Notification Under Code Section 83(b). Unless otherwise specified herein, each election required or permitted to be made by any Participant or other person entitled to benefits under the Plan, and any permitted modification or revocation thereof, shall be filed with the Company at such times, in such form, and subject to such restrictions and limitations, not inconsistent with the terms of the Plan, as the Committee shall require. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Committee may, on the date of grant or at a later date, as applicable, prohibit an individual from making an election under Code Section 83(b). If the Committee has not prohibited an individual from making this election, an individual who makes this election shall notify the Committee of the election within ten (10) days of filing notice of the election with the Internal Revenue Service. This requirement is in addition to any filing and notification required under the regulations issued under the authority of Code Section 83(b).

Section 7.7Evidence. Evidence required of anyone under the Plan may be by certificate, affidavit, document or other information upon which the person is acting considers pertinent and reliable, and signed, made or presented by the proper party or parties.

A-12


Section 7.8Tax Withholding. Where a Participant is entitled to receive shares of Stock upon the vesting or exercise of an Award, the Company shall have the right to require such Participant to pay to the Company the amount of any tax that the Company is required to withhold with respect to such vesting or exercise, or, in lieu thereof, to retain, or to sell without notice, a sufficient number of shares of Stock to cover the minimum amount required to be withheld. To the extent determined by the Committee, a Participant shall have the right to direct the Company to satisfy the minimum amount (or an amount up to a Participant’s highest marginal tax rate provided such withholding does not trigger liability accounting under FASB ASC Topic 718 or its successor) required for federal, state and local tax withholding by: (i) with respect to a Stock Option, reducing the number of shares of Stock subject to the Stock Option (without issuance of such shares of Stock to the Stock Option holder) by a number equal to the quotient of (a) the total minimum amount of required tax withholding divided by (b) the excess of the Fair Market Value of a share of Stock on the exercise date over the Exercise Price per share of Stock; and (ii) with respect to Restricted Stock Awards, withholding a number of shares (based on the Fair Market Value on the vesting date) otherwise vesting that would satisfy the minimum amount of required tax withholding (or an amount up to a Participant’s highest marginal rate provided such withholding does not trigger liability accounting under FASB ASC Topic 718 or its successor). Provided there are no adverse accounting consequences to the Company (a requirement to have liability classification of an award under FASB ASC Topic 718 is an adverse consequence), a Participant who is not required to have taxes withheld may request to the Company to withhold in accordance with the preceding sentence as if the Award were subject to minimum tax withholding requirements or up to such Participant’s highest marginal tax rate.

Section 7.9Action by Company or Subsidiary. Any action required or permitted to be taken by the Company or any Subsidiary shall be by resolution of its board of directors, or by action of one or more members of the Board (including a committee of the Board) who are duly authorized to act for the Board, or (except to the extent prohibited by applicable law or applicable rules of the Exchange on which the Company lists its securities) by a duly authorized officer of the Company or such Subsidiary.

Section 7.10Successors. All obligations of the Company under the Plan shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of any successor to the Company, whether the existence of such successor is the result of a direct or indirect purchase, merger, consolidation or otherwise, of all or substantially all of the business, stock, and/or assets of the Company.

Section 7.11Indemnification. To the fullest extent permitted by law and the Company’s governing documents, each person who is or shall have been a member of the Committee, or of the Board, or an officer of the Company to whom authority was delegated in accordance with Section 5.3, or a Plan Trustee, or an Employee of the Company, shall be indemnified and held harmless by the Company against and from any loss (including amounts paid in settlement), cost, liability or expense (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) that may be imposed upon or reasonably incurred by him or her in connection with or resulting from any claim, action, suit, or proceeding to which he or she may be a party or in which he or she may be involved by reason of any action taken or failure to act under the Plan and against and from any and all amounts paid by him or her in settlement thereof, with the Company’s approval, or paid by him or her in satisfaction of any judgment in any such action, suit, or proceeding against him or her, provided he or she shall give the Company an opportunity, at its own expense, to handle and defend the same before he or she undertakes to handle and defend it on his or her own behalf, unless such loss, cost, liability, or expense is a result of his or her own willful misconduct or except as expressly provided by statute or regulation. The foregoing right of indemnification shall not be exclusive of any other rights of indemnification to which such persons may be entitled under the Company’s charter or bylaws, as a matter of law, or otherwise, or any power that the Company may have to indemnify them or hold them harmless. The foregoing right to indemnification shall include the right to be paid by the Company the expenses incurred in defending any such proceeding in advance of its final disposition, provided, however, that, if required by applicable law, an advancement of expenses shall be made only upon delivery to the Company of an undertaking, by or on behalf of such persons to repay all amounts so advanced if it shall ultimately be determined by final judicial decision from which there is no further right to appeal that such person is not entitled to be indemnified for such expenses.

By accepting any award under this Plan, each Participant and any other person claiming any rights under the Plan agrees to submit himself or herself and any legal action that the Participant brings under the Plan, to the sole jurisdiction of such courts for the adjudication and resolution of any such disputes.

Communications that are to be delivered by U.S. mail or by overnight service to the Company shall be directed to the attention of the Corporate Secretary, unless otherwise provided in the Participant’s Award Agreement.

Such events include, but are not limited to, termination of employment for cause, termination of the Participant’s provision of Services to the Company or any Subsidiary, violation of material Company or Subsidiary policies, breach of noncompetition, confidentiality, or other restrictive covenants that may apply to the Participant, or other conduct of the Participant that is detrimental to the business or reputation of the Company or any Subsidiary.

In addition, Awards granted hereunder are subject to any recoupment policy adopted by the Board from time to time, whether such policy shall have been adopted prior to or following a Participant’s receipt of an Award.

Section 7.18Automatic Exercise. In the sole discretion of the Committee exercised in accordance with Section 5.2(a) above, any Stock Options that are exercisable but unexercised as of the day immediately before the tenth anniversary of the date of grant may be automatically exercised, in accordance with procedures established for this purpose by the Committee, but only if the exercise price is less than the Fair Market Value of a share of Stock on such date and the automatic exercise will result in the issuance of at least one (1) whole share of Stock to the Participant after payment of the exercise price and any applicable minimum tax withholding requirements. Payment of the exercise price and any applicable tax withholding requirements shall be made by a net settlement of the Stock Option whereby the number of shares of Stock to be issued upon exercise are reduced by a number of shares having a Fair Market Value on the date of exercise equal to the exercise price and any applicable minimum tax withholding.

Section 7.19Regulatory Requirements. It is intended that this Plan and the Awards issued hereunder comply with all applicable regulatory requirements, including but not limited to 12 CFR § 239.63(a) as it applies to management stock benefit plans implemented within 12 months following amutual-to-stock conversion. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Plan or in any Award Agreement, the Plan and the Awards will be administered and interpreted in a manner consistent with all applicable regulatory requirements, including but not limited to those set forth at Section 3.3 and the following:

Section 7.21Requirement of Notification Upon Disqualifying Disposition Under Section 421(b) of the Code.If any Participant shall make any disposition of shares of Stock delivered pursuant to the exercise of Incentive Stock Options under the circumstances described in Section 421(b) of the Code (relating to certain disqualifying dispositions), such Participant shall notify the Company of such disposition within ten days thereof.

Section 7.22Section 16 of Exchange Act. It is the intent of the Company that the Awards and transactions permitted by Awards be interpreted in a manner that, in the case of Participants who are or may be subject to Section 16 of the Exchange Act, qualify, to the maximum extent compatible with the express terms of the Award, for exemption from matching liability under Rule16b-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall have no liability to any Participant for Section 16 consequences of Awards or events affecting Awards if an Award or event does not so qualify.

Section 7.23Compliance with Law. Shares of Stock shall not be issued with respect to any Award granted under the Plan unless the issuance and delivery of such Stock shall comply with all relevant provisions of applicable law, including, without limitation, the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, any applicable state securities laws and the requirements of any Exchange upon which the Stock may then be listed.

Section 7.24Necessary Approvals. The inability of the Company to obtain any necessary authorizations, approvals or letters ofnon-objection from any regulatory body or authority deemed by the Company’s counsel to be necessary to the lawful issuance and sale of any shares of Stock issuable hereunder shall relieve the Company of any liability with respect to thenon-issuance or sale of such Stock.

Section 7.25Representations and Warranties of Participants. As a condition to the exercise of any Stock Option or the delivery of Stock in accordance with an Award, the Company may require the person exercising the Stock Option or receiving delivery of the Stock to make such representations and warranties as may be necessary to assure the availability of an exemption from the registration requirements of federal or state securities law.

Section 7.26Cash Payment in Lieu of Delivery of Shares. Upon the exercise of an Stock Option, the Committee, in its sole and absolute discretion, may make a cash payment to the Participant, in whole or in part, in lieu of the delivery of shares of Stock. Such cash payment to be paid in lieu of delivery of Stock shall be equal to the difference between the Fair Market Value of the Stock on the date of the Stock Option exercise and the exercise price per share of the Stock Option. Such cash payment shall be in exchange for the cancellation of such Stock Option. Such cash payment shall not be made in the event that such transaction would result in liability to the Participant or the Company under Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act and regulations promulgated thereunder, or subject the Participant to additional tax liabilities related to such cash payments pursuant to Section 409A of the Code. The Committee may, in its sole discretion, determine that upon a Change in Control of the Company each outstanding Stock Option shall be cancelled in exchange for a cash payment equal to the difference between the Fair Market Value of the shares of Common Stock on the date of the Stock Option cancellation and the Exercise Price per share of the Stock Option.
