Item 5.02
Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors;
Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.

FedFirst Financial Corporation (the “Company”) and its wholly owned subsidiary, First Federal Savings Bank (the “Bank”) entered into a Change in Control Agreement with Jamie L. Prah, Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, effective October 14, 2011.  The Change in Control Agreement has an initial term ending on September 30, 2013 and is renewable annually at the sole discretion of the Boards of Directors of the Company and the Bank for an additional year, unless the executive has given written notice of his desire that the term not be extended.

Under the Change in Control Agreement, if, within 12 months after a change in control (as defined in the agreement), the Bank terminates the executive’s employment without cause (as defined in the agreement) or the executive terminates his employment with good reason (as defined in the agreement), the Bank shall make a lump-sum payment to the executive equal to three times his base salary at the rate in effect immediately prior to the change in control, or if higher, the rate in effect when he terminates employment.  In addition, for 36 months following termination of employment, the Bank will continue to provide the executive life and health insurance coverage substantially identical to the coverage maintained for the executive prior to the termination.

In the event that payments or benefits pursuant to the Change in Control Agreement would result in the imposition of a penalty tax under Section 280G of the Internal Revenue Code, the payment to the executive will be reduced to the maximum amount that may be paid under Section 280G without triggering such penalty tax.

A copy of the Change in Control Agreement is attached to this Report as Exhibit 10.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.
