Item 5.03.  Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year.

(a) The Board of Directors of Lake Shore Bancorp, Inc. (the “Company”) amended the Company’s bylaws effective May 22, 2013, the date of the Company’s 2013 annual meeting of stockholders, to decrease the number of directors from eleven members to nine members as a result of the mandatory retirement of Directors Brunecz and Foley effective as of that date.
 
Item 8.01  Other Events

Directors’ Supplemental Benefit Plan.  On January 1, 2013, Lake Shore Savings Bank (the “Bank”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, entered into a joinder agreement (each, the “Joinder Agreement”) with each of Directors Susan Ballard, Tracy Bennett and Kevin Sanvidge in order to allow each Director to participate in the Directors’ Supplemental Benefit Plan, which was originally effective as of October 1, 2001 and was amended and restated effective January 1, 2007 (the “Plan”).

Under the Plan and Joinder Agreements, Directors Susan Ballard, Tracy Bennett and Kevin Sanvidge, respectively, will be entitled to an annual benefit in the amount of  $15,635, $6,492 and $8,613, respectively, payable over a period of fifteen years, provided that the director retires on or after age 72.  In the event Directors Susan Ballard, Tracy Bennett and Kevin Sanvidge terminate service before age 72, the Directors will be entitled to a reduced benefit.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, Directors Ballard and Sanvidge are not entitled to any benefits if either ceases to serve as a Director prior to January 31, 2015.

In addition, in the event of a change in control, Directors Susan Ballard, Tracy Bennett and Kevin Sanvidge will be treated as having attained age 72 for purposes of benefit payments.  If a termination of service occurs within two years following a change in control, the payments will be made by lump sum instead of over a fifteen year period.

The foregoing description of the Joinder Agreements are qualified in their entirety by reference to the Joinder Agreements that are attached hereto as Exhibits 10.1, 10.2 and 10.3 of this Current Report on Form 8-K, and is incorporated by reference into this Item 8.01.
