Item 1.01                      Entry Into a Material Definitive Agreement

On September 28, 2010, Kaiser Federal Financial Group, Inc., a Maryland corporation (the “Company”), K-Fed Mutual Holding Company, K-Fed Bancorp, a Federal corporation and Kaiser Federal Bank (collectively, the “Primary Parties”) entered into an Agency Agreement with Keefe, Buyette & Woods, Inc. (“KBW”), who will act as financial advisor during the Company’s conversion and assist in the marketing of the Company’s common stock during its subscription and community offerings and act as sole book-running manager of the syndicated community offering, and Sterne Agee & Leach, Inc. (“Sterne”) who will act as co-manager of the syndicated community offering.

For these services, KBW will receive a management fee of $50,000, and a fee of 1.0% of the aggregate dollar amount of the shares of common stock sold in the subscription offering and community offering, excluding shares purchased by the Primary Parties’ officers, directors, employees or the immediate family of such persons (“Insiders”), including shares purchased by any employee stock ownership plan, tax-qualified or stock-based compensation plans (except IRAs) of the Primary Parties or the Insiders. The management fee will be credited against the fee payable upon the consummation of the conversion.

In the event that KBW and Sterne sell common stock through a group of broker-dealers in a syndicated community offering, KBW and Sterne will receive a fee not to exceed 5.5% of the aggregate dollar amount of the common stock sold in the syndicated community offering.  The fee will be divided such that 85% of such fee will be allocated to KBW and 15% of such fee shall be allocated to Sterne. Of this amount, KBW and Sterne will pass on to selected broker-dealers, who assist in the syndicated community offering, an amount competitive with gross underwriting discounts charged at such time for comparable amounts of stock sold at a comparable price per share in a similar market environment.

The Company will also reimburse KBW and Sterne for their reasonable out-of-pocket expenses associated with their marketing effort, not to exceed $50,000.  In addition, the Company will reimburse KBW and Sterne for fees and expenses of their counsel not to exceed $100,000.

The shares of common stock are being offered pursuant to a Registration Statement on Form S-1 (Registration No. 333-167179) filed by the Company under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and a related prospectus dated September 28, 2010.

The foregoing description of the terms of the Agency Agreement is qualified in its entirety by references to the Agency Agreement, which is filed as Exhibit 1.1 hereto and incorporated by reference herein.

Item 8.01                      Other Events

On September 29, 2010, K-Fed Bancorp announced that the Company, the proposed holding company for Kaiser Federal Bank, and K-Fed Mutual Holding Company have received conditional approval from the Office of Thrift Supervision to commence its second step conversion and offering. K-Fed Bancorp also announced that the registration statement relating to the sale of common stock of the Company was declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission.
