Stockholders who execute proxies in the form solicited hereby retain the right to revoke them in the manner described below. Unless so revoked, the shares represented by such proxies will be voted at the annual meeting and all adjournments thereof. Proxies solicited on behalf of the Board of Directors of K-Fed Bancorp will be voted in
accordance with the directions given thereon.
You can vote your shares of our common stock prior to the annual meeting by internet, telephone or regular mail in accordance with instructions set forth on the proxy card. Proxies received by us, which are signed, but contain no instructions for voting, will be voted “FOR” the proposals set forth in this proxy statement for consideration at the annual meeting.
Proxies may be revoked by sending written notice of revocation to the Secretary of K-Fed Bancorp, Rita H. Zwern, at our address shown above, by returning a duly executed proxy bearing a later date, by internet, telephone or regular mail in accordance with instructions set forth on the proxy card or by voting in person at the annual meeting.
The presence at the annual meeting of any stockholder who had previously given a proxy shall not revoke such proxy unless the stockholder delivers his or her ballot in person at the annual meeting or delivers a written revocation to the Secretary of K-Fed Bancorp prior to the voting of such proxy.
VOTING
SECURITIES AND PRINCIPAL HOLDERS THEREOF
Holders of record of our common stock, par value $0.01 per share, as of the close of business on August 28, 2009 are entitled to one vote for each share then held. As of the record date, there were 13,304,588 shares of our common stock issued and outstanding. The presence in person or by proxy of a majority of the
outstanding shares of common stock entitled to vote is necessary to constitute a quorum at the annual meeting. Abstentions and broker non-votes will be counted for purposes of determining that a quorum is present.
As to the election of directors, a stockholder may vote FOR the election of the nominees proposed by the Board of Directors, or WITHHOLD authority to vote for one or more of the nominees being proposed. Directors are elected by a plurality of votes cast, without regard to either broker non-votes, or proxies as to which the authority
to vote for the nominees being proposed is withheld.
As to the ratification of Crowe Horwath LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm, a stockholder may: (i) vote FOR the ratification; (ii) vote AGAINST the ratification; or (iii) ABSTAIN from voting on such ratification. The affirmative vote of holders of a majority of the votes cast at the annual meeting in person
or by proxy is required for the ratification of Crowe Horwath LLP as the independent registered public accounting firm for the
fiscal year ending June 30, 2010. The ratification of this matter shall be determined without regard to broker non-votes or proxies marked “ABSTAIN.”
Management anticipates that K-Fed Mutual Holding Company, our majority stockholder, will vote all of its shares of common stock in favor of all the matters set forth above. If K-Fed Mutual Holding Company votes all of its shares in favor of each proposal, the approval of the election of the director nominees and the ratification
of Crowe Horwath LLP would be assured.
Persons and groups who beneficially own in excess of 5% of our common stock are required to file certain reports with the Securities and Exchange Commission regarding such ownership pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. The following table sets forth, as of the record date, the shares of common stock beneficially

PROPOSAL
1 — ELECTION OF DIRECTORS
Our Board of Directors consists of seven members. Our bylaws provide that approximately one-third of the directors are to be elected annually. Directors are generally elected to serve for a three-year period, or a shorter period if the director is elected to fill a vacancy, and until their respective successors shall have been elected
and shall qualify. Three directors will be elected at the annual meeting and will serve until their successors have been elected and qualified. The governance/nominating committee has nominated Gerald A. Murbach, Michael J. Sacher and Robert C. Steinbach to serve as directors for three-year terms. The nominees are currently members of the Board of Directors.
The following table provides the positions, ages and terms of office as applicable to our directors and executive officers along with the beneficial ownership of our common stock held by our directors and executive officers, individually and as a group. It is intended that the proxies solicited on behalf of the Board of Directors (other
than proxies in which the vote is withheld as to the nominee) will be voted at the annual meeting for the election of the nominees identified below. If the nominees are unable to serve, the shares represented by all such proxies will be voted for the election of such substitute as the Board of Directors may recommend. At this time, the Board of Directors knows of no reason why the nominees might be unable to serve, if elected. Except as indicated herein, there are no arrangements or understandings between the
nominees and any other person pursuant to which such nominees were selected.

least on a quarterly basis to discuss the results of operations and on an annual basis to review the results of the annual audit and other related matters. Each member of the audit committee is “independent” as defined in the Nasdaq corporate governance listing standards and Rule 10A-3 of the Securities and Exchange Commission. The Board of Directors has determined that directors Sacher and Weisshar qualify as “audit committee financial experts” as that term is used in the rules and regulations
of the Securities and Exchange Commission. The audit committee charter is available on K-Fed Bancorp’s website at
www.k-fed.com
. The audit committee met five times during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2009.
Compensation Committee
. The compensation committee is responsible for recommending to the full board the compensation of the chief executive officer and senior management, reviewing and administering
overall compensation policy, including setting performance measures and goals, approving benefit programs, establishing compensation of the Board of Directors and other matters of personnel policy and practice and coordinating such actions with the human resources committee of Kaiser Federal Bank. The compensation committee of K-Fed Bancorp is comprised of directors Breeden, who serves as Chairman, Murbach, Sacher, Weisshar and Zwern. Each member of the compensation committee is considered “independent”
as defined in the Nasdaq corporate governance listing standards. The report of the compensation committee is included elsewhere in this proxy statement. Our Board of Directors has adopted a written charter for the compensation committee, which is available on K-Fed Bancorp’s website at
www.k-fed.com
. The compensation committee met one time during the fiscal year ended June
30, 2009.
The role of the compensation committee is to review annually the compensation levels of the executive officers and recommend compensation changes to the Board of Directors. The compensation committee is composed entirely of outside, non-employee directors. It is intended that the executive compensation program will enable us to attract,
motivate and retain talented executive officers who are capable of achieving our growth strategy and enhancing long-term stockholder value. The compensation committee has adopted a compensation strategy that seeks to provide competitive, performance-based compensation strongly aligned with the financial and stock performance of K-Fed Bancorp. The key elements of our compensation program for executives are: base salary, annual incentive compensation and stock based award compensation. For a discussion of
how the compensation committee evaluates compensation components in making its decisions, see “Compensation Discussion and Analysis.”
Governance/Nominating Committee
. The governance/nominating committee consists of directors Breeden, who serves as Chairman, Murbach, Sacher, Weisshar and Zwern. Each member of the governance/nominating
committee is considered “independent” as defined in the Nasdaq corporate governance listing standards. The Board of Directors has adopted a written charter for the governance/nominating committee, which is available on K-Fed Bancorp’s website at
www.k-fed.com
. The governance/nominating committee met one time during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2009.
The
functions of the governance/nominating committee include the following:
|
·
|
leading the search for individuals qualified to become members of the Board of Directors and to select director nominees to be presented for stockholder approval;
|
|
·
|
developing and recommending to the Board of Directors other specific criteria not specified in its charter for the selection of individuals to be considered for election or re-election to the Board of Directors;
|
|
·
|
adopting procedures for the submission of recommendations by stockholders for nominees for the Board of Directors; and
|
|
·
|
annually reviewing the adequacy of its charter and recommending any proposed changes to the Board of Directors.
|
The governance/nominating committee identifies nominees by first evaluating the current members of the Board of Directors willing to continue in service. Current members of the Board of Directors with skills and experience that are relevant to our business and who are willing to continue in service are first considered for re-nomination,
balancing the value of continuity of service by existing members of the Board of Directors with that of obtaining a new perspective. In addition, the governance/nominating committee is authorized by its charter to engage a third party to assist in the identification of director nominees. The governance/nominating committee would seek to identify a candidate who, at a minimum, satisfies the following criteria:
|
·
|
the highest personal and professional ethics and integrity and whose values are compatible with our values;
|
|
·
|
experience and achievements that have given them the ability to exercise and develop good business judgment;
|
|
·
|
a willingness to devote the necessary time to the work of the Board of Directors and its committees, which includes being available for board and committee meetings;
|
|
·
|
a familiarity with the communities in which we operate and/or are actively engaged in community activities;
|
|
·
|
involvement in other activities or interests that do not create a conflict with their responsibilities to us and our stockholders; and
|
|
·
|
the capacity and desire to represent the balanced, best interests of our stockholders as a group, and not primarily a special interest group or constituency.
|
The governance/nominating committee will also take into account whether a candidate satisfies the criteria for “independence” under the Nasdaq corporate governance listing standards.
Procedures for the Nomination of Directors by Stockholders
. The governance/nominating committee has adopted procedures for the submission of recommendations for director nominees by our stockholders. If a determination is made that an additional candidate is needed
for the Board of Directors, the governance/nominating committee will consider candidates submitted by our stockholders. Stockholders can submit the names of qualified candidates for director by writing to the chairman of the governance/nominating committee at 1359 North Grand Avenue, Covina, California 91724. The chairman must receive a submission not less than one hundred and twenty (120) days prior to the date of our proxy materials for the preceding year’s annual meeting. The submission must include
the following information:
|
·
|
a statement that the writer is a stockholder and is proposing a candidate for consideration by the governance/nominating committee;
|
|
·
|
the name and address of the stockholder as they appear on our books, and number of shares of our common stock that are owned beneficially by such stockholder (if the stockholder is not a holder of record, appropriate evidence of the stockholder’s ownership will be required);
|
|
·
|
the name, address and contact information for the candidate, and the number of shares of our common stock that are owned by the candidate (if the candidate is not a holder of record, appropriate evidence of the stockholder’s ownership should be provided);
|
|
·
|
a statement of the candidate’s business and educational experience;
|
|
·
|
such other information regarding the candidate as would be required to be included in the proxy statement/prospectus pursuant to Regulation 14A of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934;
|
|
·
|
a statement detailing any relationship between the candidate and any customer, supplier or competitor of K-Fed Bancorp or its affiliates;
|
|
·
|
detailed information about any relationship or understanding between the proposing stockholder and the candidate; and
|
|
·
|
a statement of the candidate that the candidate is willing to be considered and willing to serve as a director if nominated and elected.
|
A nomination submitted by a stockholder for presentation by the stockholder at an annual meeting of our stockholders must comply with the procedural and informational requirements described in our bylaws.
Stockholder Communications with the Board of Directors
. A stockholder who wants to communicate with the Board of Directors or with any individual director can write to K-Fed Bancorp at 1359 North Grand Avenue, Covina, California 91724, Attention: Chairman of the
Governance/Nominating Committee. The letter should indicate that the author is a stockholder and, if shares are not held of record, should include appropriate evidence of stock ownership. Depending on the subject matter, management will:
|
·
|
forward the communication to the director or directors to whom it is addressed;
|
|
·
|
attempt to handle the inquiry directly, or forward the communication for response by another employee. For example, a request for information about us as a stock-related matter may be forwarded to our stockholder relations officer; or
|
|
·
|
not forward the communication if it is primarily commercial in nature, relates to an improper or irrelevant topic, or is unduly hostile, threatening, illegal or otherwise inappropriate.
|
At each Board of Directors meeting, management shall present a summary of all communications received since the last meeting that were not forwarded and make those communications available to the directors.
Code of Ethics
The Board of Directors has adopted a Code of Business Conduct and Ethics that applies to all of our officers, directors and employees, and a Code of Ethics for the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer. The codes are intended to promote honest and ethical conduct, full and accurate
reporting and compliance with laws. The codes are available on K-Fed Bancorp’s website at
www.k-fed.com
. Amendments to and waivers from the Code of Ethics will also be disclosed on K-Fed Bancorp’s website.
Attendance at Annual Meetings of Stockholders
Although we do not have a formal written policy regarding director attendance at annual meetings of stockholders, it is expected that directors will attend our annual meetings. All of our current directors attended the prior year’s annual meeting of stockholders.
Audit Committee Report
The audit committee operates under a written charter adopted by the Board of Directors. The audit committee has issued a report which states that it has:
|
·
|
reviewed and discussed with management and our independent registered public accounting firm, our audited consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2009;
|
|
·
|
discussed with the independent registered public accounting firm the matters required to be discussed by Statement on Auditing Standards No. 61,
Communications with Audit Committees
, as amended; and
|
|
·
|
received the written disclosures and the letter from the independent registered public accounting firm required by applicable requirements of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board regarding the independent registered public accounting firm’s communications with the audit committee concerning independence, and has discussed with the independent
registered public accounting firm their independence from us.
|
Based on the review and discussions referred to above, the audit committee recommended to the Board of Directors that the audited consolidated financial statements be included in our annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2009 and to be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. In addition, the audit committee
approved the appointment of Crowe Horwath LLP as the independent registered public accounting firm for us for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2010, subject to the ratification of this appointment by our stockholders.
This report shall not be deemed incorporated by reference by any general statement incorporating by reference this proxy statement into any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, except to the extent that we specifically incorporate this report by reference, and shall not
otherwise be deemed filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance
Our common stock is registered pursuant to Section 12(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Our officers and directors and beneficial owners of greater than 10% of our common stock are required to file reports on Forms 3, 4 and 5 with the Securities and Exchange Commission disclosing beneficial ownership and changes in
beneficial ownership of our common stock. Securities and Exchange Commission rules require disclosure in a company’s annual proxy statement and annual report on Form 10-K of the failure of an officer, director or greater than 10% beneficial owner of the common stock to file a Form 3, 4 or 5 on a timely basis. Based on our review of such ownership reports, no officer, director or 10% beneficial owner of our common stock failed to file such ownership reports on a timely basis for the fiscal year ended June
30, 2009.
Executive Compensation
Compensation Discussion and Analysis.
We believe the most effective executive compensation program is one that is aligned with achievement of our long-term strategic goals and we intend for our compensation program to align executives’ interests with those
of the stockholders by rewarding performance for implementing our various strategies with the ultimate objective of improving stockholder value. We evaluate both performance and compensation to ensure that we maintain our ability to attract and retain employees in key positions and to ensure that compensation provided to key employees keeps these employees focused on value creation.
In this regard, we provide what we consider to be a competitive compensation package for the named executive officers comprised of a base salary, an annual incentive plan, a stock option plan, a recognition and retention plan for restricted stock awards, an employee stock ownership plan, a 401(k) Plan, and a deferred compensation program
as well as health and welfare benefits. See “--
Benefits
.”
The compensation committee is responsible for all compensation and benefit matters relating to the executive officers, including the evaluation and compensation of our president and chief executive officer. The president and chief executive officer evaluates the performance of the other named executive officers and recommends to the compensation
committee the named executive officers’ compensation levels for approval. The compensation committee regularly evaluates and approves all compensation practices applicable to the named executive officers, including the president and chief executive officer.
Base Salary.
It is our philosophy to maintain base salaries at levels comparable to the salaries paid by similar organizations. In establishing base salaries, we take into account each executive officer’s ability and experience as well as past and potential
performance. On an annual basis, each executive officer is evaluated and their base salary may be adjusted based on market data as well as taking into account the above factors.
Annual Incentive Plan.
The Annual Incentive Plan is an integral part of an executive’s total compensation package that recognizes the executive’s annual contribution to our success. The Plan is designed to: 1) support a business change to community-based
banking; 2) support a culture change to pay-for-performance; 3) focus the executive team on annual goals to meet long-term goals; 4) reward executives for their effort; and 5) align compensation with the goals of the organization and marketplace practices. The award is achieved only if Kaiser Federal Bank achieves a minimum return on average assets (ROA) which is set each year and has been met each of the past two years. If our return on assets goal is achieved, each individual executive must also achieve certain
personal performance objectives set by the president and chief executive officer or the Board of Directors. One of these goals must address expense management. The president and chief executive officer is eligible to receive up to 30% of her annual base salary and the remaining named executive officers are eligible to receive up to 20% of their annual base salaries under this plan. In addition, the dollar amount of an award may be further increased over such maximums up to an additional 20% of the award to recognize
achievement significantly in excess of performance objectives.
Equity Compensation.
The compensation committee uses the award of stock options and restricted stock under the recognition and retention plan to align the interests of the named executive officers with those of our stockholders. At the annual meeting of stockholders
in 2004, stockholders approved our stock option plan and recognition and retention plan. Ms. Hoveland, Ms. Huber, and Ms. Thompson received both stock options and restricted
stock awards from the compensation committee under each of those equity compensation plans during 2004. Mr. Luton received stock options and restricted stock awards when he became chief financial officer in November 2006. Ms. Carandang received restricted stock awards when she became chief financial officer of Kaiser Federal Bank in July 2009. In January 2009 all of the named executive officers were granted
stock options. Both the stock options and the restricted stock awards vest at a rate of 20% per year over five years commencing on the first anniversary of the grant date. The compensation committee believes that the five year vesting of stock options and restricted stock awards will focus senior management on long-term performance and stock appreciation.
Information regarding the outstanding stock option grants and unvested recognition and retention plan awards is included in the section titled “
Outstanding Equity Awards at Year End.
” For information regarding our expense related to the portion of each stock option and
restricted stock award that vested during fiscal 2009, as calculated in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 123(R), see “--
Summary Compensation
.”
Benefit Plans.
The compensation committee annually reviews the expense and appropriateness of all benefit plans for the named executive officers and all other employees. The benefit plans include a 401(k) plan, deferred compensation plan, employee stock ownership
plan, and other benefit plans such as medical, dental, life and disability insurance.
The named executive officers are eligible to participate in a 401(k) Plan, which includes a match of up to 50% of the participant’s eligible contributions up to 10% of the participant’s salary. The match and the investment stock options are identical to those available to all other participants. Under the terms of our employee
stock ownership plan, all named executive officers receive an annual allocation of our common stock based upon the participant’s eligible compensation up to $230,000. Participation levels for named executive officers are identical to those of all other employee stock ownership plan participants.
The named executive officers are eligible to participate in the nonqualified deferred retirement plan, which allows them to defer a portion of their compensation earned during the plan year. At our discretion, we have the ability to match the elective deferrals of the participants. However, we have not made any matching contributions to
this plan since inception.
Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation
The compensation committee is composed of independent directors within the meaning of the Nasdaq corporate governance listing standards. The compensation committee consists of directors Breeden, who serves as Chairman, Murbach, Sacher, Weisshar and Zwern. Under the board’s policies, Ms. Hoveland, and any other director who is also
an executive officer of K-Fed Bancorp and Kaiser Federal Bank, will not participate in the board of director’s determination of compensation for their respective offices.
Report of the Compensation Committee on Executive Compensation
The compensation committee has issued a report that states that it has reviewed and discussed the section entitled “Compensation Discussion and Analysis” with management. Based on this review and discussion, the compensation committee recommended to the Board of Directors that the “Compensation Discussion and Analysis”
be included in this proxy statement.
This report shall not be deemed incorporated by reference by any general statement incorporating by reference this proxy statement into any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, except to the extent that we specifically incorporate this report by reference, and shall not
otherwise be deemed filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Benefits
General.
Kaiser Federal Bank currently provides health and welfare benefits to its employees, including hospitalization and comprehensive medical insurance, life insurance, subject to deductibles and co-payments by employees.
401(k) Plan.
Kaiser Federal Bank provides its employees with a qualified profit sharing plan under the applicable provisions of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.
Employees who are age 21 or older are eligible to begin making salary deferral contributions beginning in the first calendar quarter on or after they become an employee. This is their earliest entry date. Employees are eligible to receive contributions other than salary deferral contributions beginning in the first calendar quarter on
or after they are an employee, are age 21 or older, and have completed one year of entry service.
Eligible employees may contribute up to 15% of their compensation each pay period to the 401(k) Plan on a pre-tax basis, not to exceed $16,500 for the calendar year 2009. The maximum deferral percentage and/or dollar amount may also be limited by Internal Revenue Service regulations. For eligible employees, we currently match 50% of the
first 10% of the compensation an employee defers each pay period.
Employees are always 100% vested in the contributions they choose to defer, whereas vesting in Kaiser Federal Bank contributions is based on years of vesting service in which an employee works at least 1,000 hours. Vesting in Kaiser Federal Bank contributions begins after two years of vesting service and increases for each year of vesting
service until an employee becomes fully vested after six years of vesting service.
Employees may receive money from their vested accounts at retirement (age 65), early retirement (age 55 and ten years of vesting service), age 59 ½ and still working, death, disability, or termination of employment. Employees may obtain loans from their vested account balances or withdraw all or part of their vested accounts (not
earnings) if they can prove financial hardship and are unable to meet their financial needs another way.
Kaiser Federal Bank may amend the 401(k) Plan at any time, except that no amendment may be made which would reduce the interest of any participant in or beneficiary of the 401(k) Plan trust fund or divert any of the assets of the 401(k) Plan trust fund to purposes other than the benefit of participants or their beneficiaries unless necessary
to comply with any law or regulation issued by any governmental agency to which the 401(k) Plan is subject.
Employee Stock Ownership Plan
.
In connection with our minority stock offering, we adopted the K-Fed Bancorp Employee Stock Ownership Plan (“Employee Stock Ownership Plan”) for eligible employees
of K-Fed Bancorp and any subsidiary, including Kaiser Federal Bank. Employees of K-Fed Bancorp and Kaiser Federal Bank who have been credited with at least 1,000 hours of service during a twelve-month period are eligible to participate in the Employee Stock Ownership Plan.
The Employee Stock Ownership Plan borrowed funds from K-Fed Bancorp to purchase 454,940 shares of the common stock sold in our stock offering. The shares of common stock were purchased with proceeds of a $4.5 million loan from K-Fed Bancorp. The loan to the Employee Stock Ownership Plan bears interest at 4.0% and will be repaid principally
from Kaiser Federal Bank’s contributions to the Employee Stock Ownership Plan over a period of ten years. The collateral for the loan is the shares of common stock of K-Fed Bancorp purchased by the Employee Stock Ownership Plan. Shares purchased by the Employee Stock Ownership Plan are held in a suspense account and are released to participants’ accounts as debt service payments are made. Shares released from the Employee Stock Ownership Plan are allocated to each eligible participant’s Employee
Stock Ownership Plan account based on the ratio of each such participant’s compensation to the total compensation of all eligible participants. Forfeitures are reallocated among remaining participating employees and may reduce any amount K-Fed Bancorp might otherwise have contributed to the Employee Stock Ownership Plan. A participant vests in 100% of his or her account balance after six years of credited service. In the case of a “change in control,” as defined in the Employee Stock Ownership
Plan, which triggers a termination of the Employee Stock Ownership Plan, participants will become immediately fully vested in their account balances. Benefits are payable upon retirement or other separation from service. K-Fed Bancorp’s contributions to the Employee Stock Ownership Plan are not fixed, so benefits payable under the Employee Stock Ownership Plan cannot be estimated.
K-Fed Bancorp 2004 Stock Benefit Plans
Outside directors and key employees of Kaiser Federal Bank, K-Fed Bancorp or their affiliates are eligible to participate in and receive awards of stock options and restricted stock under the K-Fed Bancorp 2004 Stock Option Plan, and the K-Fed Bancorp 2004 Recognition and Retention Plan, respectively. A total of 568,675 shares of our common
stock were reserved for the 2004 Stock Option Plan and 227,470 shares of our common stock were reserved for the 2004 Recognition and Retention Plan. On November 16, 2004, a total of 373,600 stock options were granted to directors and employees at an exercise price of $14.50 per share, the fair market value of our common stock on the grant date. On November 15, 2006, incentive stock options to purchase 40,000 shares of our common stock was granted to Mr. Luton, the chief financial officer, with an exercise price
of $17.40 per share, the fair market value of our common stock on the grant date. On November 16, 2007, incentive stock options to purchase 10,000 shares of our common stock was granted to Ms. Weisshar, director, with an exercise price of $12.00 per share, the fair market value of our
common stock on the grant date. On November 16, 2008, incentive stock options to purchase 10,000 shares of our common stock was granted to Mr. Sacher, audit committee chair, with an exercise price of $8.43 per share, the fair market value of our common stock on the grant date. On January 30, 2009, a total of 187,500 stock options were granted to directors and employees at an exercise price of $7.80 per share,
the fair market value of our common stock on the grant date. Chairman Breeden was granted non-qualified stock options to purchase 20,000 shares of our common stock. Directors Murbach, Sacher, Steinbach, Weisshar, and Zwern each were granted non-qualified stock options to purchase 10,000 shares of our common stock. Additionally, incentive stock options to purchase 25,000, 20,000, 7,500, 15,000 and 15,000 were each granted to Ms. Hoveland, Mr. Luton, Ms. Carandang, Ms. Huber and
Ms. Thompson, respectively.
On November 16, 2004, directors Murbach, Steinbach and Zwern were granted a restricted stock award of 7,200 shares of our common stock. Chairman Breeden was granted a restricted stock award of 11,300 shares of our common stock. Additionally, restricted stock awards of 40,000, 10,000 and 10,000 shares of our common stock were granted to
Ms. Hoveland, Ms. Huber and Ms. Thompson, respectively. On November 16, 2006, Mr. Luton was granted a restricted stock award of 20,000 shares of our common stock. On November 16, 2007, Ms. Weisshar was granted a restricted stock award of 5,000 shares of our common stock.

All stock options and restricted stock awards vest in 20% increments over a five-year period, beginning on the first anniversary of the award date. Stock options will vest and become immediately exercisable and restricted stock awards will vest upon the grantee’s death, disability or following a change in control of K-Fed Bancorp.

Kaiser Federal Bank Executive Non-Qualified Retirement Plan.
Kaiser Federal Bank also maintains an executive deferral program for the benefit of certain senior executives that have been designated to participate in the program. The program allows an additional
opportunity for key executives to defer a portion of their compensation into a non-qualified deferral program to supplement their retirement earnings. Ms. Hoveland, currently the only participant in the program, had $1.1 million in compensation deferred pursuant to this program as of June 30, 2009.
Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change in Control

Transactions with Certain Related Persons
Kaiser Federal Bank has a policy of granting loans to officers and directors, which fully complies with all applicable federal regulations. Loans to directors and executive officers are made in the ordinary course of business and on the same terms and conditions as those of comparable transactions with unaffiliated third parties prevailing

In addition, all loans to directors and executive officers are approved by at least a majority of the independent, disinterested members of the board.
All loans Kaiser Federal Bank makes to its directors and executive officers are subject to regulations restricting loans and other transactions with affiliated persons of Kaiser Federal Bank. Loans to all directors and executive
officers and their associates
totaled approximately $1.1 million at June 30, 2009, which was 1.2% of our stockholders’ equity at that date. All loans to directors and executive officers were performing in accordance with their terms at June 30, 2009.

reporting as well as the audit of K-Fed Bancorp’s 401(k) Plan.
Policy on Audit Committee Pre-Approval of Audit and Non-Audit Services of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm.
The audit committee has considered whether the provision of non-audit services, which relate primarily to tax consulting and other compliance services rendered, is compatible with maintaining the independence of Crowe Horwath LLP. The audit committee concluded that performing such services does not affect the independence of Crowe Horwath
LLP in performing its function as independent registered public accounting firm of K-Fed Bancorp.
The audit committee’s policy is to pre-approve all audit and non-audit services provided by the independent registered public accounting firm. These services may include audit services, audit-related services, tax services and other services. The audit committee has delegated pre-approval authority to its chairman when expedition
of services is necessary. The independent registered public accounting firm and management are required to periodically report to the full audit committee regarding the extent of services provided by the independent registered public accounting firm in accordance with this pre-approval, and the fees for the services performed to date.
In order to ratify the selection of Crowe Horwath LLP as the independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2010, the proposal must receive at least a majority of the votes cast, without regard to broker non-votes, either in person or by proxy, in favor of such ratification. The audit committee of the
Board of Directors recommends a vote “FOR” the ratification of Crowe Horwath LLP as the independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2010.
