Our Executive Officers

Pursuant to General Instruction G(3) to Form 10-K and Instruction 3 to Item 401(b) of Regulation S-K, information regarding our executive officers is provided in Part I of our Form 10-K under separate caption.

Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance

Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act requires the Corporation's directors and executive officers, and persons who own more than 10% of the Corporation's Common Stock, to file with the SEC initial reports of ownership and reports of changes in ownership of the Corporation's Common Stock. Executive officers, directors and greater than 10% stockholders are required by SEC regulation to furnish the Corporation with copies of all Section 16(a) forms they file.

Based solely on a review of the copies of such reports furnished to the Corporation and written representations from its executive officers and directors that no other reports were required, the Corporation believes that during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2011, all of its officers, directors and greater than 10% beneficial owners have timely satisfied their Section 16(a) reporting obligations for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2011, except that one report on Form 4 for Darrel L. Posegate, then the Corporation's Executive Vice President, filed on September 17, 2010, was not filed on a timely basis.

Code of Ethics

The Board of Directors has adopted a Code of Conduct and Ethics that applies to all of the Corporation's directors, officers and employees, including its principal executive officer and principal financial and accounting officer. The full text of the Code of Conduct and Ethics is available to stockholders on the Investor Relations page of the Corporation's website at www.homefederal.com. Amendments and modifications to, and waivers of, the Code of Conduct and Ethics will be promptly

Table of Contents

disclosed by the Corporation, to the extent required under the Exchange Act and the NASDAQ Marketplace Rules, on a current report on Form 8-K.

Audit Committee Matters

The Audit Committee assists the Board of Directors in fulfilling its oversight duties and responsibilities. Certain of the Audit Committee's specific duties and responsibilities include: overseeing the integrity of the Corporation's financial statements and the audits of such financial statements, accounting and financial reporting processes, disclosure controls and procedures and internal controls over financial reporting; monitoring the independence, qualifications and performance of the Corporation's independent auditors; and providing an avenue of communication among the Corporation's independent auditors, management, the internal auditing department and the Board of Directors. The Audit Committee also oversees matters of material risk pertaining to its responsibilities and duties.

For fiscal 2011, the members of the Audit Committee were Directors Hanson (Chair), Day, Van Wyhe and Vekich, all of whom are independent directors as defined in the NASDAQ Marketplace Rules and in Rule 10A-3(b)(1)(ii) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), pursuant to the exemption set forth in Rule 10A-3(b)(1)(iv)(B) of the Exchange Act. The Board of Directors has determined that all four members of the Audit Committee satisfy the other requirements for audit committee membership of the NASDAQ Marketplace Rules and SEC requirements and that Director Day is an "audit committee financial expert," as that term is defined in Item 407(d)(5) of Regulation S-K. The Board determined that Mr. Day acquired such attributes through his experience in preparing, auditing, analyzing or evaluating financial statements containing accounting issues as generally complex as the Corporation's financial statements. The Audit Committee acts pursuant to its Amended and Restated Charter, a copy of which is available to stockholders on the Investor Relations page of the Corporation's website at www.homefederal.com.

Item 11. Executive Compensation.

Compensation Discussion and Analysis

Executive Compensation Overview

The Corporation has no full time employees, relying upon employees of the Bank for the limited services required by the Corporation. All compensation paid to officers and employees is paid by the Bank. This Compensation Discussion and Analysis explains our compensation philosophy, policies and practices with respect to (i) the Corporation's Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer, (ii) the Corporation's Senior Vice President, Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer, (iii) the Corporation's Executive Vice President, (iv) the Bank's Senior Vice President/President—Twin Cities Market and (v) the Bank's Senior Vice President/Community Banking, which are collectively referred to as our "Named Executive Officers."

The Personnel, Compensation and Benefits Committee (the "Compensation Committee") is responsible for our executive compensation program. The Compensation Committee has adopted and regularly reviews and updates, as appropriate, a Compensation Philosophy Statement. The Compensation Philosophy Statement provides a foundation for the Compensation Committee when making executive compensation decisions, and is used as a vehicle to communicate the Corporation's executive compensation objectives, programs, practices and rationale for the Corporation's compensation program. The Compensation Philosophy Statement provides that:

•: Base Salary: Base salaries for Named Executive Officers should be competitive to the market median, meaning the 50^th percentile of our Peer Group (as defined below). Based upon individual circumstances, actual base salary may be higher or lower than the market median.

Table of Contents

•: Total Cash Compensation: Total cash compensation (base salary plus annual cash incentive awards) should be (i) targeted up to the 75^th percentile for our Peer Group when the Corporation's financial performance is consistent with the 75^th percentile of our Peer Group's financial performance, and (ii) targeted above the 75^th percentile when the Corporation's financial performance is above the 75^th percentile of our Peer Group's financial performance.
•: Long-Term Incentive Awards: Long-term incentive awards should align executive interests with stockholders, with equity awards generally being granted upon the Corporation achieving pre-established performance goals and for other general corporate purposes. Once awarded, long-term incentives are subject to vesting to ensure retention.
•: Total Direct Compensation: Direct compensation opportunities (which include cash compensation and long-term incentive awards) should be (i) targeted up to the 75^th percentile for our Peer Group when the Corporation's financial performance is consistent with the 75^th percentile of our Peer Group's financial performance, and (ii) targeted above the 75^th percentile when the Corporation's financial performance is above the 75^th percentile of our Peer Group's financial performance.

As pay and performance levels of our peers are not known at the time executive compensation decisions are made, actual executive compensation of the Named Executive Officers may be greater than or less than target compensation levels. It is the Compensation Committee's intent to address variances between performance and compensation with future compensation decisions. Additionally, in order for the Compensation Committee to be responsive to our specific performance and the dynamics of the banking industry, from time to time, the above philosophies may be changed or not strictly followed.

Our executive compensation program is designed to accomplish the following objectives:

•: Foster a pay-for-performance culture that is based on our financial performance;
•: Motivate executives to assume increased responsibility and reward them for their achievement;
•: Provide compensation opportunities that are comparable to our Peer Group, allowing us to compete for, and retain, top quality, dedicated executives who are critical to our long-term success; and
•: Align executives' interests with our stockholders through equity award opportunities.

Our executive compensation program consists of elements that are generally constant (fixed pay) and that vary based on corporate performance (variable pay). Accordingly, as our financial performance increases, so does executive compensation. Conversely, if financial performance decreases, executive compensation should also decrease. In 2011, the variable pay component of our Named Executive Officers' total compensation ranged from 3% to 11%, which is consistent with our pay-for-performance objective.

Role of the Personnel, Compensation and Benefits Committee in Setting Executive Compensation

The Compensation Committee reviews and approves all compensation decisions for the Named Executive Officers, including their annual salaries, incentive awards and any other benefits and perquisites. The Compensation Committee aims to structure executive compensation in a manner that achieves the compensation objectives described above. In approving executive compensation, the Compensation Committee reviews and considers, among other things:

•: Our Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer's recommendations on executive compensation, except for his own compensation;

Table of Contents

•: Our financial and operating performance, such as our growth in core business operating income, net charge-offs, non performing loans, growth in consolidated net income and return on equity;
•: Competitive pay information of our Peer Group;
•: Historical compensation information of each Named Executive Officer;
•: Internal compensation equity among executives; and
•: Recommendations and findings of our independent compensation consultants.

Role of Management in Setting Executive Compensation

During fiscal year 2011, our Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer, Curtis L. Hage, regularly attended meetings of the Compensation Committee. He does not attend executive sessions of the Compensation Committee. Mr. Hage shared with the Compensation Committee, among other things, (i) his opinion of the general competitiveness of our executive compensation program, (ii) information on our business strategies and risks, financial results and other measures of operational performance as they relate to executive compensation, and (iii) his recommendations on the Named Executive Officers' annual salaries, incentive awards and other benefits and perquisites, other than himself. Mr. Hage did not make any recommendations to the Compensation Committee regarding the form or amount of his compensation in 2011.

Mr. Posegate, our Executive Vice President, together with other members of management, also occasionally attended Compensation Committee meetings, but not executive sessions, for informational purposes upon the request of the Compensation Committee.

Engagement and Role of the Independent Compensation Consultants

McLagan, an AON Hewitt company (formerly Amalfi Consulting, LLC through December 16, 2010), an independent consulting firm ("McLagan"), was engaged by management in January 2010 to (i) review our executive compensation program, including to perform a benchmark analysis of the Named Executive Officers' annual base salaries, cash compensation, direct compensation, and total compensation, and (ii) review the 2011 incentive plan goals to ensure they are aligned with the marketplace.

In January 2010, the Compensation Committee discussed emerging best practices with regard to the engagement and use of compensation consultants. The Compensation Committee resolved to retain a separate independent compensation consultant to provide the committee, among other things, strategic planning with regard to executive compensation and guidance on compliance with regulatory issues. McLagan continues to serve as management's compensation consultant.

In March 2010, after screening and interviewing candidates, the Compensation Committee retained The Delves Group ("Delves") as its independent compensation consultant. Delves was chosen, in part, based on its expertise advising and serving community and regional banks. Delves has no other business relationship with the Corporation and has received no other payments from the Corporation other than fees for services to the Compensation Committee. Delves reports directly to the Compensation Committee, which may terminate its services at any time. A representative of Delves attends meetings of the Compensation Committee and communicates with the chairperson of the Compensation Committee between meetings.

Table of Contents

Since its engagement in March 2010, Delves reviewed and provided comments on the proposed plan design for incentive compensation for fiscal year 2011. Going forward, Delves will advise the Compensation Committee by:

•: Assisting the Compensation Committee as it considers adjustments to the Corporation's executive compensation program.
•: Reviewing and commenting on competitive market data, including base salary, annual incentives and long-term incentives, for our executive officers.
•: Reviewing and commenting on recommendations by management and McLagan concerning executive compensation.

The Compensation Committee believes that Delves brings an awareness of trends in compensation practices in general, as such trends relate to comparable institutions, and will provide the committee with independent advice and guidance as it carries out its responsibility to oversee executive compensation.

Benchmarking of Executive Compensation

In April 2010, the Compensation Committee reviewed a benchmark analysis comparing our executive compensation against a group of peer companies ("Peer Group"). McLagan and Delves assisted the Compensation Committee in identifying the Peer Group using the following criteria: Midwest banks with assets between $800 million and $2 billion; return on average assets greater than -1%; return on average equity greater than -10%; non-performing assets less than 5%; and commercial loans greater than 10% of portfolio. The Peer Group consisted of:


• Ames National Corporation		• Bank of Kentucky Financial Corp.
• BankFinancial Corporation		• Baylake Corp.
• Farmers & Merchants Bancorp, Inc.		• Farmers National Banc Corp.
• First Business Financial Services, Inc.		• First Mid-Illinois Bancshares, Inc.
• Firstbank Corporation		• German American Bancorp, Inc.
• Hills Bancorporation		• Indiana Community Bancorp
• Isabella Bank Corporation		• MidWestOne Financial Group, Inc.
• Monroe Bancorp		• Princeton National Bancorp, Inc.
• QCR Holdings, Inc.		• S.Y. Bancorp, Inc.
• West Suburban Bancorp, Inc.

The Compensation Committee elected not to use the peer group utilized in the Corporation's performance graph, appearing under Item 5 of its Form 10-K, for purposes of benchmarking executive compensation, because the Compensation Committee believed the above companies better reflect the competition we face for executive talent.

Elements of Executive Compensation

Our executive compensation program is comprised of the following elements:

•: Base salary;
•: Annual cash incentive award;
•: Annual long-term incentive award in the form of cash, restricted stock and/or stock appreciation rights;
•: Severance arrangements;
•: Retirement benefits; and
•: Employee welfare benefits and other perquisites.

Table of Contents

The Compensation Committee annually reviews each element of compensation for each Named Executive Officer, and then considers it collectively with the other elements of compensation to ensure each Named Executive Officer's total compensation is consistent with our Compensation Philosophy Statement and objectives.

Each of the Named Executive Officers has entered into an employment agreement and change-in-control agreement with the Bank as further described below in this Proxy Statement.

Base Salary Our Named Executive Officers receive a base level of income for the individual expertise, skills, knowledge and experience they offer to our management team. For fiscal year 2011, the Named Executive Officer's base salaries were increased, as follows:



	Base Salary as of June 30, 2010		Base Salary as of July 1, 2010		Percentage Increase in Base Salary
Curtis L. Hage Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer of the Corporation	$	359,600	$	359,600		0	%
Brent R. Olthoff Senior Vice President/Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer of the Corporation	$	144,000	$	150,000		4.17	%
Darrel L. Posegate Executive Vice President of the Corporation	$	239,200	$	239,200		0	%
Stephen M. Bianchi Senior Vice President/President—Twin Cities Market of the Bank	$	250,000	$	250,000		0	%
David A. Brown Senior Vice President/Community Banking of the Bank	$	160,000	$	166,400		4.00	%

Annual Cash Incentive Awards Annual cash incentive awards are made pursuant to the Bank's Senior Management Short-Term Incentive Plan ("Short-Term Incentive Plan"). The purpose of the Short-Term Incentive Plan is to motivate, reward and retain key executives, including the Named Executive Officers, by providing them competitive compensation opportunities based upon the Corporation's achievement of pre-established financial goals. Under the Short-Term Incentive Plan, the Compensation Committee establishes at the beginning of each fiscal year financial goals pursuant to which cash incentive awards are to be made, together with the payout ranges for each Named Executive Officer upon the Corporation's achievement of such financial goals. Generally, awards under the Short-Term Incentive Plan are paid promptly following the Audit Committee's acceptance of the Corporation's audited financial statements for the applicable fiscal year.

For 2011, awards were based on a combination of measures of the Corporation's and the Bank's performance, weighted as noted. Awards for Messrs. Hage, Olthoff and Posegate were based upon (i) the Corporation's consolidated growth in core business operating income ("CBOI") beyond a baseline equal to the Corporation's CBOI for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2010 (weighted 60%); (ii) the Corporation's net charge-offs (weighted 10%); (iii) non performing loans (weighted 10%); and (iv) the Corporation's consolidated growth in net income ("Net Income") beyond a baseline equal to the Corporation's net income for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2010 (weighted 20%). Awards for Mr. Brown were based upon (i) the Bank's consolidated growth in CBOI beyond a baseline equal to the Bank's CBOI for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2010 (weighted 75%); (ii) net charge-offs (weighted 12.5%); and non performing loans (weighted 12.5%).

Table of Contents

In connection with Mr. Bianchi's joining the Bank in April 2010, Mr. Bianchi was entitled to, among other things, participate in a cash incentive arrangement based upon achieving certain defined personal performance metrics for fiscal year 2011. Mr. Bianchi's cash incentive arrangement was effective only for fiscal year 2011 and was not effective for fiscal year 2010. Under the terms of Mr. Bianchi's cash incentive arrangement, he received a payment of $39,375, related to his performance in fiscal year 2011.

Payout ranges were stated as a percentage of the Named Executive Officer's respective base salary. No cash incentive awards were paid unless the Corporation achieved a threshold level of performance, which for Messrs. Hage, Olthoff and Posegate in 2011 included: (i) 3.75% growth in the Corporation's CBOI; (ii) ranking in the top 50^th percentile for net charge-offs and non performing loans; (iii) 3.75% growth in the Corporation's Net Income; and for Mr. Brown in 2011 included: (i) 3.75% growth in the Bank's CBOI and (ii) ranking in the top 50^th percentile for net charge-offs and non performing loans. The Compensation Committee has discretion to adjust any of the approved metrics to (i) exclude from the calculation thereof any single, nonrecurring event that resulted in either a 10% increase or decrease on the incentive calculation, and (ii) adjust the calculation thereof as the result of significant or material events. During 2011, the Compensation Committee did not exercise the above discretion.

The Compensation Committee established the following payout ranges for the Corporation's officers for 2011 based upon achieving (i) growth in the Corporation's CBOI beyond a baseline of $9,702,301, which was the Corporation's CBOI for 2010; (ii) ranking in the top 50^th percentile of net charge-offs and non performing loans as compared to the defined peer group growth; and (iii) growth in the Corporation's Net Income beyond a baseline of $5,744,958, which was the Corporation's Net Income for 2010. The Compensation Committee also established the following payout ranges for the Bank's officers for 2011 based upon achieving (i) growth in the Bank's CBOI beyond a baseline of $12,562,601, which was the Bank's CBOI for 2010; and (ii) ranking in the top 50^th percentile of net charge-offs and non performing loans as compared to the Peer Group.

Each of Curtis L. Hage and Darrel L. Posegate could have earned an award of:

•: 20% of his respective base salary, if growth in the Corporation's CBOI and Net Income is equal to or greater than 3.75% and net charge-offs and non performing loans ranked in the top 50^th percentile;
•: 40% of his respective base salary, if growth in the Corporation's CBOI and Net Income is equal to or greater than 6.75% and net charge-offs and non performing loans ranked in the top 25^th percentile;
•: 60% of his respective base salary, if growth in the Corporation's CBOI and Net Income is equal to or greater than 9.75% and net charge-offs and non performing loans ranked in the top 20^th percentile; or
•: 80% of his respective base salary, if growth the Corporation's CBOI and Net Income is equal to or greater than 12.75% and net charge-offs and non performing loans ranked in the top 10^th percentile.

•: 45% of his respective base salary, if growth the Corporation's CBOI and Net Income is equal to or greater than 12.75% and net charge-offs and non performing loans ranked in the top 10^th percentile.

When Mr. Olthoff was promoted to Senior Vice President, Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer of the Corporation in November 2010, his opportunity to earn an award was increased to the same opportunity level as Messrs. Hage and Posegate, on a pro rated basis relative to the timing of the promotion.

Mr. Brown could have earned an award of:

•: 11.25% of his respective base salary, if growth in the Bank's CBOI is equal to or greater than 3.75% and net charge-offs and non performing loans ranked in the top 50^th percentile;
•: 22.5% of his respective base salary, if growth in the Bank's CBOI is equal to or greater than 6.75% and net charge-offs and non performing loans ranked in the top 25^th percentile;
•: 33.75% of his respective base salary, if growth in the Bank's CBOI is equal to or greater than 9.75% and net charge-offs and non performing loans ranked in the top 20^th percentile; or
•: 45% of his respective base salary, if growth in the Bank's CBOI is equal to or greater than 12.75% and net charge-offs and non performing loans ranked in the top 10^th percentile.

Under the Short-Term Incentive Plan, cash incentive awards are interpolated to the extent that actual results fall between designated target levels.

The Corporation was focused in 2011 on core business operating income, net income and asset quality. The Compensation Committee used these metrics to measure performance and payouts under the Short-Term Incentive Plan because they bear a direct relationship to our business plan and are a direct measurement of our underlying profitability. The Compensation Committee believes that paying annual cash incentive awards based upon these metrics aligns our executives' interests with our stockholders, as well as fostering a pay-for-performance culture.

In determining the financial goals and payout ranges under the Short-Term Incentive Plan, the Compensation Committee considered (i) standards of its Peer Group, and (ii) the capacity to reward favorable performance, when and if achieved. McLagan advised the Corporation that growth in core business operating income, growth in net income and the credit quality measures of net charge-offs and non performing loans were aligned with the marketplace expectations. Additionally, Messrs. Hage, Olthoff and Posegate were eligible to earn a greater cash incentive award than the other Named Executive Officers as a result of their greater roles and responsibilities within the Corporation and the Bank.

For 2011, the Corporation's CBOI and Net Income were $5,645,643 and $678,689, respectively; and charge-offs and non performing loans ranked in the 31^st and 46^th percentile of the Peer Group, respectively. The Bank's CBOI was $8,788,201 and charge-offs and non performing loans ranked in the 31^st and 46^th percentile of the Peer Group, respectively. Accordingly, Messrs. Hage, Olthoff, Posegate and Brown were entitled to a cash incentive award under the Short-Term Incentive Plan equal to 6%, 5%, 6% and 4%, respectively, of their respective base salary. See the "Summary Compensation Table"

Table of Contents

set forth below for actual cash incentive awards paid to the Named Executive Officers in 2011 under the Short-Term Incentive Plan.

Annual Long-Term Incentive Awards Annual long-term incentive awards are made pursuant to the Bank's Senior Management Stock Based Long-Term Incentive Plan ("Long-Term Incentive Plan"). The purpose of the Long-Term Incentive Plan is to reward key employees, including the Named Executive Officers, for the attainment of long-term goals of the Corporation. Generally, awards are payable in the form of cash, stock appreciation rights and/or restricted stock. Equity awards granted under the Long-Term Incentive Plan are issued from the pool of shares reserved for issuance under the Corporation's 2002 Stock Option and Incentive Plan and are governed by the terms of such plan. Generally, long-term incentives are awarded promptly following the Audit Committee's acceptance of the Corporation's audited financial statements for the applicable fiscal year.

At the beginning of each fiscal year, the Compensation Committee establishes the financial goals pursuant to which incentive awards are made under the Long-Term Incentive Plan, together with the payout ranges for each Named Executive Officer upon the Corporation's achievement of such financial goals.

For 2011, payment of long-term incentive awards was based upon the Corporation's return on equity ("ROE") and the payout ranges were stated as a percentage of each Named Executive Officer's respective base salary. No long-term incentive awards would be paid unless the Corporation achieved a threshold level of performance, which in 2011 was a 4.75% ROE. In calculating ROE, the Compensation Committee had discretion to (i) exclude from the calculation thereof any single, non recurring event that results in either a 10% increase or decrease on the incentive calculation, and (ii) adjust the calculation thereof as the result of significant or material events. During 2011, the Compensation Committee did not exercise the above discretion.

For 2011, the Compensation Committee determined that incentive awards under the Long-Term Incentive Plan would be allocated:

•: 75% in the form of restricted stock and 25% in the form of stock appreciation rights settled in our Common Stock ("SARs") with respect to awards made to Brent R. Olthoff, Darrel L. Posegate and David A. Brown; and
•: 100% in the form of phantom stock, paid in cash, with respect to awards made to Curtis L. Hage.

In determining the allocation of awards between cash, restricted stock and/or SARs, the Compensation Committee considered (i) the appropriate balance between awards for past performance and incentives for future performance, (ii) overall risk of the pay package, and (iii) award sizes in prior years. Except for Mr. Hage, the Named Executive Officer's current holdings of our Common Stock were not considered. With respect to Mr. Hage, the Compensation Committee determined that phantom stock awards, in lieu of equity awards, would provide a more appropriate form of incentive compensation in light of Mr. Hage's level of tenure and level of ownership of the Corporation.

Generally, restricted stock awards, SARs and phantom stock granted under the Long-Term Incentive Plan vest in one-fourth annual increments, beginning on the first anniversary of their grant date. The vesting schedule was strategically chosen to be competitive and enhance our retention efforts. The exercise price of the stock appreciation rights is equal to the closing sale price of our Common Stock on the date of grant. The restricted stock awards do not have an exercise price. Dividends are paid on restricted stock awards at the same rate as our Common Stock. Dividends are not paid on stock appreciation rights.

Table of Contents

For 2011, the Compensation Committee established the following payout ranges based upon the Corporation achieving a minimum ROE of 4.75%:

Each of Curtis L. Hage and Darrel L. Posegate could have earned an award of:

•: 20% of his respective base salary, if ROE is equal to or greater than 4.75%;
•: 40% of his respective base salary, if ROE is equal to or greater than 6.25%;
•: 60% of his respective base salary, if ROE is equal to or greater than 7.75%; or
•: a maximum bonus of 80% of his respective base salary, if ROE is equal to or greater than 9.25%.

Each of Brent R. Olthoff and David A. Brown could have earned an award of:

•: 11.25% of his respective base salary, if ROE is equal to or greater than 4.75%;
•: 22.5% of his respective base salary, if ROE is equal to or greater than 6.25%;
•: 33.75% of his respective base salary, if ROE is equal to or greater than 7.75%; or
•: a maximum bonus of 45% of his respective base salary, if ROE is equal to or greater than 9.25%.

Under the Long-Term Incentive Plan, incentive awards are interpolated to the extent that actual ROE falls between designated target levels.

The Corporation was focused in 2011 on ROE. The Compensation Committee used ROE as it bears a direct relationship to our business plan and is a direct measurement of our underlying profitability. Paying long-term incentive awards based upon ROE is meant to align our executives' interests with our stockholders, as well as foster a pay-for-performance culture.

In setting the above payout ranges and the ROE performance levels, the Compensation Committee considered (i) standards of its Peer Group, and (ii) the capacity to reward favorable performance, when and if achieved. McLagan advised the Corporation that the ROE performance levels were aligned with the marketplace. Additionally, Messrs. Hage, Olthoff and Posegate were eligible to earn a greater long-term incentive award than the other Named Executive Officers as a result of their greater roles and responsibilities within the Corporation and the Bank.

For 2011, the Corporation's ROE was 0.72%, which did not meet the financial goal stated in the Long-Term Incentive Plan. Accordingly, no long-term incentives were awarded to the Named Executive Officers.

2012 Executive Compensation

The Compensation Committee made certain adjustments to executive compensation for fiscal year 2012 after consultation with Delves, reviewing compensation for the Peer Group, and understanding current and emerging best practices for the banking industry.

Table of Contents

For fiscal year 2012, the Compensation Committee increased base salary, as follows:



	Base Salary as of June 30, 2011		Base Salary as of July 1, 2011		Percentage Increase in Base Salary
Curtis L. Hage	$	359,600	$	359,600		0	%
Brent R. Olthoff	$	150,000	$	156,000		4.0	%
Darrel L. Posegate	$	239,200	$	239,200		0	%
Stephen M. Bianchi	$	250,000	$	258,750		3.5	%
David A. Brown	$	166,400	$	166,400		0	%

The Compensation Committee approved the grant of short-term incentive awards under the Corporation's Short-Term Incentive Plan for fiscal year 2012 based on a combination of measures of the Corporation's and the Bank's performance, weighted as noted. Awards for Messrs. Hage, Olthoff and Posegate will be based upon (i) the Corporation's consolidated core business operating income ("CBOI") (weighted 60%); (ii) the Corporation's net charge-offs (weighted 10%); (iii) non-performing loans (weighted 10%); and (iv) the Corporation's consolidated net income (weighted 20%). Awards for Messrs. Bianchi and Brown will be based upon (i) the Bank's consolidated CBOI (weighted 75%); (ii) net charge-offs (weighted 12.5%); and (iii) non-performing loans (weighted 12.5%).

Messrs. Hage, Olthoff and Posegate can each earn aggregated short-term incentive payouts ranging from 20.0% to 80.0% of their 2012 base salary, with target payouts set at 40.0%. Messrs. Bianchi and Brown can each earn aggregated short-term incentive payouts ranging from 11.25% to 45.0% of their 2012 base salary, with target payouts set at 22.5%. All incentive awards under the Short-Term Incentive plan are paid in cash.

For Fiscal 2012, incentive awards under the Long-Term Incentive Plan for the Named Executive Officers will be based upon the Corporation achieving certain target levels of ROE. Awards to Mr. Hage will be made in phantom stock, vesting equally over four years. Such awards will be paid in cash at each vesting date, based on the Corporation's stock price at that date. Once granted, these awards will not be forfeitable, and will continue to vest, independent of whether Mr. Hage retires during such four-year period. On July 21, 2010, Mr. Hage notified the Board of Directors that he will retire effective December 31, 2011 from his positions as an officer of the Company and the Bank. In connection with this announcement, the Bank and Mr. Hage entered into an agreement to extend Mr. Hage's employment through December 31, 2011 (the "Revised Employment Agreement") which became effective on July 1, 2011. Under the Revised Employment Agreement, Mr. Hage continues to receive the same base salary and benefits as he previously received under his Amended and Restated Employment Agreement and is eligible to receive prorated incentive compensation. Awards to the other Named Executive Officers will be paid 75% in shares of the Corporation restricted stock and 25% in stock appreciation rights ("SARs") settled in the Corporation's common stock, each having a four-year vesting period in which 25% of such SARs or shares of restricted stock, as applicable, will vest each year.

Messrs. Hage, Olthoff and Posegate can each earn long-term incentive awards ranging from 20.0% to 80.0% of their 2012 base salary, with target payouts set at 40.0%. Messrs. Bianchi and Brown can each earn a long-term incentive award ranging from 11.25% to 45.0% of their 2012 base salary, with target payouts set at 22.5%.

The incentive levels for fiscal year 2012 were determined, with the assistance of the Compensation Committee's and management's independent compensation consultants, based on growth estimates for the Corporation. Each of the metrics noted above will be calculated as set forth in the Corporation's audited financial statements for fiscal year 2012, except that any change in the approved metrics caused

Table of Contents

by a single, non-recurring event that results in a 10% change in such metric will be reviewed by the Compensation Committee and may be excluded from the calculation at the committee's discretion, and the Compensation Committee may also further adjust the approved metrics as the result of significant or material events in its discretion. All incentive awards will be paid by the Corporation following acceptance of the Corporation's audited financial statements for fiscal year 2012 by the Audit Committee of the Board.

Compensation Clawback In addition, the Compensation Committee has approved a "clawback" feature for the Short-Term Incentive Plan and the Long-Term Incentive Plan under which, if the Compensation Committee determines, in its sole discretion, that a participant received a payment based on materially inaccurate financial statements, reviews, gains, or any other materially inaccurate criteria used in determining the incentive calculation, then the Compensation Committee shall determine the overpayment amount and demand repayment from the plan participant.

Severance Arrangements Each of the Named Executive Officers has previously entered into an employment agreement and change-in-control agreement with the Bank. See "Employment Agreements" and "Potential Payments Upon Termination or a Change-in-Control" for a detailed discussion of the terms and conditions of these agreements.

Retirement Benefits The Bank provides retirement benefits to all of its employees, including the Named Executive Officers, through the following plans:

•: HF Financial Corp. Pension Plan, a defined benefit pension plan;
•: HF Financial Corp. Employee Stock Ownership Plan; and
•: HF Financial Corp. 401(k) Plan.

In addition to the above, Messrs. Hage and Posegate received contributions under the HF Financial Corp. Excess Pension Plan, an unfunded non-qualified excess pension plan (the "Excess Pension Plan"). The Bank and Mr. Hage have also previously entered into an Amended and Restated Deferred Compensation Agreement (the "Deferred Compensation Agreement"). As of June 30, 2008, we are no longer granting shares of our Common Stock to any Bank employees under the ESOP.

The above plans, as well as the Deferred Compensation Agreement, are designed in combination to provide an appropriate level of replacement income upon retirement. Further discussion of these plans and the Deferred Compensation Agreement is set forth below in this Proxy Statement.

Employee Welfare Benefits and Other Perquisites The Named Executive Officers are eligible to participate in the Bank's flexible benefits plans, which are generally available to all Bank employees. Under these plans, all employees are entitled to medical, dental, life insurance and long-term disability coverage. Additionally, all of the Bank employees are entitled to vacation, sick leave and other paid holidays. The Compensation Committee believes that the Corporation's commitment to provide the employee benefits summarized above recognizes that the health and well-being of our employees contribute directly to a productive and successful work life that enhances results for the Corporation and its stockholders.

In addition to the employee welfare benefits discussed above, the Named Executive Officers receive the following perquisites:

•: 401(k) matching contributions
•: Country club dues
•: Travel reimbursement for spouses to attend certain events

Table of Contents

The Compensation Committee believes these perquisites help attract and retain the Named Executive Officers by offering compensation opportunities that are competitive with our Peer Group. The Compensation Committee believes these benefits and perquisites provide a more tangible incentive than an equivalent amount of cash compensation. In determining total compensation payable to the Named Executive Officers in 2011, the Compensation Committee considered these benefits and perquisites. However, as these benefits and perquisites represent a relatively insignificant portion of the Named Executive Officers' total compensation, they did not materially influence the Compensation Committee's decision in setting such executive's total compensation.

See the "Summary Compensation Table" set forth below for a description of the benefits and perquisites received by the Named Executive Officers in 2011.

Risks Arising from Compensation Policies and Practices

Management conducted a risk assessment of the Corporation's compensation plans and practices and concluded that they do not create risks that are reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on the Corporation. The Compensation Committee has reviewed and concurred with management's conclusion. The risk assessment process included, among other things, a review of (i) all key incentive compensation plans to ensure they are aligned with our pay-for-performance philosophy and include performance metrics that meet and support our corporate goals, and (ii) the overall compensation mix to ensure an appropriate balance between fixed and variable pay components between short-term and long-term incentives. The objective of this process was to identify any compensation plans and practices that may encourage employees to take unnecessary risk that could threaten the Corporation. No such plans or practices were identified.

Tax Considerations

Generally, section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code places a limit of $1,000,000 on the amount of compensation the Corporation may deduct for federal income tax purposes in any one year with respect to the Corporation's covered employees. However, compensation that is "performance-based," which is compensation that is paid pursuant to pre-established objective performance goals that are based on criteria approved by the stockholders and is determined and administered by the Compensation Committee according to related regulations, is excluded from this $1,000,000 limitation and is deductible by the Corporation.

Equity Grant Practices

The Compensation Committee has approved, or recommended to the Board of Directors for approval, all grants of equity compensation to the Named Executive Officers. The Corporation does not have a formal policy on timing of equity grants in connection with the release of material non-public information. In the event that material non-public information becomes known to the Compensation Committee prior to granting equity awards, the Compensation Committee will take the existence of such information under advisement and make an assessment in its business judgment whether to delay the grant of the equity award in order to avoid any impropriety.

Personnel, Compensation and Benefits Committee Report

The Personnel, Compensation and Benefits Committee has reviewed and discussed the Compensation Discussion and Analysis required by Item 402(b) of Regulation S-K with management and, based on such review and discussion, the Personnel, Compensation and Benefits Committee recommended to the Board of Directors that the Compensation Discussion and Analysis be included in this proxy statement and in the Corporation's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2011.

Employment Agreements

The Corporation, through its wholly owned subsidiary, the Bank, has entered into employment agreements with each of its Named Executive Officers.

Messrs. Olthoff, Posegate, Bianchi and Brown have previously each entered into Amended and Restated Employment Agreements and Amended and Restated Change-in-Control Agreements with the Bank. Each of the employment agreements has a current term of one year, which automatically renews on July 1 for an additional year unless, on or before March 31 of the previous year, either the Bank or the executive officer elects to terminate the employment agreement. In the event an executive officer terminates his employment agreement, his respective change-in-control agreement will also terminate.

Under the employment agreements, Messrs. Olthoff, Posegate, Bianchi and Brown are each guaranteed a base salary of no less than $132,000, $239,200, $250,000 and $155,000, respectively, which may be subsequently increased as determined appropriately by the Compensation Committee. In addition to the base salary, under the employment agreements each executive officer is entitled to:

•: participate in the Bank's executive incentive plans, and
•: all other benefits generally made available to the Bank's other employees (including, but not limited term life insurance, medical, dental and disability coverage, paid personal time off and certain retirement benefits).

Under the terms of the employment agreements, the Bank has the right to immediately terminate each Named Executive Officer for "cause" (as defined below). Additionally, the Bank may, in its reasonable discretion, terminate each executive officer (without prior notice) if he is absent from work for a period of time or in a manner that materially affects the functioning of the Bank or the executive officer's direct or indirect reports. Either the Bank or the executive officer may terminate his employment agreement at any time upon 60 days written notice. Additionally, each executive officer's employment under his employment agreement automatically terminates upon his death.

agreement, please refer to "Potential Payments Upon Termination or a Change-In-Control" set forth below.

On July 21, 2010, Mr. Hage notified the Board of Directors that he will retire effective December 31, 2011 from his positions as an officer of the Company and the Bank. In connection with this announcement, the Bank and Mr. Hage entered into an agreement to extend Mr. Hage's employment through December 31, 2011 (the "Revised Employment Agreement") which became effective on July 1, 2011. Under the Revised Employment Agreement, Mr. Hage continues to receive the same base salary and benefits as he previously received under his Amended and Restated Employment Agreement and is eligible to receive prorated incentive compensation. The Revised Employment Agreement is terminable by the Bank immediately for "cause," which includes material violation of a law or regulation that either governs Mr. Hage's conduct as an officer of the Bank or in the reasonable opinion of the Bank affects Mr. Hage's fitness to serve in his position, substantial neglect of duties, action or inaction that materially and adversely impacts the Bank's safety, soundness, security, assets, customers or employees, dishonesty of a material nature, failure to comply with material rules, regulations or policies of the Bank, engaging in personal conduct which when considering Mr. Hage's position with the Bank would materially detract from the Bank's business reputation in the community served, material breach of any material covenant of the Revised Employment Agreement, or willful and material misconduct. Either the Bank or Mr. Hage may terminate the Revised Employment Agreement without cause upon written notice. In the event the Bank terminates the Revised Employment Agreement without cause, Mr. Hage will continue to receive his base salary through December 31, 2011, as severance pay. Additionally, the Revised Employment Agreement automatically terminates upon Mr. Hage's death and may be terminated by the Bank in the event of Mr. Hage's disability as defined under the Bank's Disability Plan. The Bank also may terminate the Revised Employment Agreement if Mr. Hage is absent from work for a period of time or in a manner that materially affects the functioning of the Bank or his direct or indirect reports; provided, however, that the Bank may not terminate Mr. Hage for absence resulting from approved/excused extended vacation, leave of absence or temporary relocation. The Revised Employment Agreement contains non-competition and non-solicitation provisions that continue for a one-year period after termination of employment, as well as confidentiality provisions.

On October 4, 2011, Darrel L. Posegate resigned from his positions as the Executive Vice President of the Company and President of the Bank. Pursuant to a Separation Agreement dated October 4, 2011 (the "Separation Agreement") we agreed to pay Mr. Posegate separation payments aggregating to his base salary from September 1, 2011 to June 30, 2012 and medical (COBRA) benefits through June 30, 2012 (if eligible). Mr. Posegate agreed to a discharge of claims, along with certain agreements not to compete and not to solicit our employees for one year following the agreement.

On October 14, 2011, the Board of Directors appointed Stephen M. Bianchi Interim President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company and the Bank, and appointed Curtis L. Hage Special Advisor until his retirement. In connection with Mr. Bianchi's appointment, we entered into a letter agreement with him dated October 14, 2011 pursuant to which he will receive an additional $10,000 in salary per month and reimbursement of expenses incurred in connection with travel to and residing in the Sioux Falls area during the period that he serves as our Interim President and Chief Executive Officer. He is also eligible to receive incentive payments of up to $50,000 in the aggregate for fiscal year 2012. In addition, the term of his employment agreement with the Bank was extended to July 1, 2013.

¹Award type:
Cash = cash incentive award
RS = restricted stock award
SAR = stock appreciation right settled in our Common Stock

²Reflects (i) the range of annual cash incentive awards payable to all Named Executive Officers, except for Mr. Bianchi, under the Bank's Short-Term Incentive Plan (the "S-T Incentive Plan") for 2011, and (ii) the range of the annual long-term incentive award payable in cash to Mr. Hage under the Bank's Long-Term Incentive Plan (the "L-T Incentive Plan") for 2011.

As further discussed in the Compensation Discussion and Analysis ("CD&A") section of this Proxy Statement, under the S-T Incentive Plan, the Named Executive Officers may earn cash incentive awards upon the Corporation achieving a combination of measures of the Company's performance. For Messrs. Hage, Olthoff and Posegate, the payout ranges of the cash incentive award are stated as a percentage of their respective base salary. In 2011, the Corporation had to achieve a minimum threshold of (i) 3.75% growth in the Company's consolidated growth in core business operating income ("CBOI"), weighted at 60%, (ii) net charge-offs in the 50^th percentile of the Peer Group, weighted at 10%, (iii) non performing loans in the 50^th percentile of the Peer Group, weighted at 10%, and (iv) 3.75% growth in the Company's consolidated net income. Mr. Brown's payout ranges of the cash incentive award are also stated as a percentage of his base salary. In 2011, in order for Mr. Brown to receive an award, the Bank had to achieve a minimum threshold of (i) 3.75% growth in the Bank's consolidated growth in core business operating income ("CBOI"), weighted at 75%, (ii) net charge-offs in the 50^th percentile of the Peer Group, weighted at 12.5% and (iii) non performing loans in the 50^th percentile of the Peer Group, weighted at 12.5%.

The amounts reflected in the "Target" column for the S-T Incentive Plan awards are based upon the Corporation achieving of (i) 6.75% growth in the Company's consolidated growth in core business operating income ("CBOI"), weighted at 60%, (ii) net charge-offs in the 25^th percentile of the Peer Group, weighted at 10%, (iii) non performing loans in the 25^th percentile of the Peer Group, weighted at 10%, and (iv) 6.75% growth in the Company's consolidated net income, and the Bank achieving (i) 6.75% growth in the Bank's consolidated growth in core business operating income ("CBOI"), weighted at 75%, (ii) net charge-offs in the 25^th percentile of the Peer Group, weighted at 12.5% and (iii) non performing loans in the 25^th percentile of the Peer Group, weighted at 12.5%.

³Reflects the range of restricted stock awards and stock appreciation rights payable to all of the Named Executive Officers, except for Mr. Hage, under the L-T Incentive Plan in 2011. As further discussed in the CD&A section of this Proxy Statement, the Named Executive Officers may earn long-term incentive awards in the form of cash, restricted stock and/or stock appreciation rights upon the Corporation achieving certain return on equity goals. The payout ranges of the long-term incentive awards are stated as a percentage of the Named Executive Officer's respective base salary. In 2011, the Corporation had to achieve a minimum threshold of 4.75% return on equity for any long-term incentive awards to be paid to the Named Executive Officers, with the maximum threshold being 9.25% return on equity. The amounts reflected in the "Target" column for the L-T Incentive Plan awards are based upon the Corporation achieving a return on equity of 6.25% for 2011. Under the L-T Incentive Plan, (i) Mr. Hage's incentive award is paid in cash as further discussed in footnote 2 above, and (ii) for Messrs. Olthoff, Posegate and Brown, the incentive award is paid 75% in restricted stock and 25% in stock appreciation rights settled in our Common Stock.

⁴Based on actual performance in 2011, no awards were made.

⁵Mr. Bianchi joined the Bank in April 2010, and pursuant to the terms of his employment as President of the Twin Cities Market, Mr. Bianchi participated in a cash incentive arrangement for fiscal year 2011, based upon meeting certain defined personal performance metrics. As such, Mr. Bianchi did not participate in the S-T Incentive Plan or the L-T Incentive Plan.

In order to attract and retain employees and to assist employees in preparing financially for retirement, the Compensation Committee believes that it is important to provide the Bank's employees, including the Named Executive Officers, with the opportunity to maintain a portion of their respective incomes following retirement. Along with other eligible employees, the Named Executive Officers participate in a defined benefit pension program and a retirement savings plan, which consists of an employee stock ownership plan and 401(k) plan. Certain of the Named Executive Officers are also eligible to participate in an unfunded non-qualified excess pension plan. The purpose of the excess pension plan is to restore benefits that otherwise would be payable under the pension plan if not for Internal Revenue Service limits on compensation and benefits applicable to tax-qualified plans.

Defined Benefit Pension Plan. The Corporation sponsors a defined benefit pension plan for its employees. An employee is eligible to participate in the pension plan upon the completion of one year of service and upon reaching the age of 21. That participation is retroactive to the previous July 1. A participant must complete three years of service before such participant earns a vested interest in accrued retirement benefits, at which time the participant is 100% vested. A participant will also be 100% vested if employment ends due to death or disability. The pension plan is funded solely through contributions made by the Corporation. It is anticipated that this obligation will be funded through the Corporation's future earnings.

A participant is eligible for an early retirement benefit upon the attainment of age 62, provided such participant has participated in the pension plan for a minimum of five years. Currently, Mr. Hage is the only Named Executive Officer eligible for early retirement under the pension plan. The monthly benefit payable at early retirement is the actuarial equivalent of the participant's accrued monthly

Table of Contents

benefit at age 65. If a participant continues to work beyond age 65, the participant is entitled to the greater of:

•: such participant's benefit taking into account all service and compensation through the actual retirement date; or
•: the actuarial equivalent of the benefit that would have been payable had the participant retired on the normal retirement date.

The pension plan computes benefits using a cash balance pension formula with a hypothetical account maintained separately for each participant, with such account credited annually for contributions and earnings. Each year an employer contribution equal to 6% of the participant's compensation for the plan year is allocated to that participant's account. Compensation includes, but is not limited to, wages, commissions, bonuses, overtime, and any amount a participant elects to defer under a salary reduction agreement. Compensation does not include employer contributions to employer-sponsored retirement plans or welfare plans such as life and health insurance plans, nor does it include vested stock options or SARs granted to the participant or stock awarded to the participant in the course of the participant's employment. Investment returns are credited to account balances as of the first day of each plan year for the upcoming plan year in an amount equal to the average daily rates of return for 30 year U.S. Treasury bond during the previous February. Normal retirement age is 65 with five years of service and early retirement age is 62 with five years of service.

The normal retirement benefit is a monthly annuity based on a participant's hypothetical account balance as of benefit commencement. A participant may elect, at the time of retirement, several optional forms of benefits which are the actuarial equivalent of the normal form, such as the joint and survivor benefits for married participants or an actuarially equivalent lump sum payment. A married participant must receive a joint and 50% survivor annuity unless the participants' spouse consents to a different form of benefit.

Excess Pension Plan for Executive Officers. The Corporation also sponsors an unfunded, non-qualified excess pension plan for certain executive officers. Any executive officer of the Corporation or an affiliated organization selected by the Board of Directors is eligible to participate in the excess benefit plan effective as of the first day of the plan year or calendar year following his initial year of selection by the Board. Executives remain eligible to participate in the excess pension plan with respect to each subsequent plan year unless removed as an eligible executive with respect to a plan year by the Board of Directors. Currently, Messrs. Hage, Olthoff, Posegate, Bianchi and Brown participate in the excess pension plan.

The Corporation contributes benefits to the excess pension plan on behalf of its participants on an annual basis as follows:

•: if a participant was an executive as of June 30, 1999, the Corporation will contribute benefits in an amount equal to the difference between the annual benefit accruals actually credited to the participant under the pension plan under its current cash balance formula, and the amount that would have been credited to the participant under the pension plan under the benefit formula in effect prior to July 1, 1999;
•: benefits in an amount equal to the amount of the annual benefit accrual under the pension plan that would otherwise be denied by reason of limitations imposed under the Internal Revenue Code; and
•: the Corporation may, but is not required to, contribute benefits in any amount for the plan year, as such amount is determined by the Board of Directors.

Currently, Messrs. Hage and Posegate have received contributions under the excess pension plan. The excess pension plan also allows participants to make contributions to the excess pension plan in

Table of Contents

the form of deferred payments of up to 100% of the participant's base salary and up to 100% of the participant's cash incentive awards and bonuses based on the financial performance of the Corporation. No such deferrals have been made to date.

A participant is always 100% vested in his deferral contributions to the excess pension plan. With respect to the benefits contributed by the Corporation on behalf of the participant, the participant must complete five years of service before such participant earns a vested interest in such benefits, at which time the participant is 100% vested. A participant will also be 100% vested if such participant dies or if there is a change in control of the Corporation. Benefits under the excess pension plan will be paid on the first day of the month following the six-month anniversary of the participant's termination of employment. Benefits payable by reason of a change in control will be paid on the thirtieth day following a change of control, and benefits payable by reason of a participant's death will be paid to his beneficiary on the sixtieth day following the participant's death. Benefits will be paid in a single lump sum payment. However, a participant may apply to receive distribution of any vested portion of his benefits prior to his termination of employment in the event of certain unforeseen emergencies.

For information regarding the amounts contributed to the pension plan and excess pension plan accounts of the Named Executive Officers by the Corporation in fiscal 2011, see the "Summary Compensation Table" set forth above.

¹Represents Mr. Hage's contributions pursuant to the terms of his Amended and Restated Deferred Compensation Agreement, dated December 31, 2008, all of which was reported in the "salary" column for 2011 of the "Summary Compensation Table" included in this Proxy Statement for 2011.

²Represents aggregate earnings on Mr. Hage's deferral account balance, none of which was reported in the "Change in Pension Value and Non-qualified Deferred Compensation Earnings" column of the "Summary Compensation Table" included in this Proxy Statement as above-market interest (interest in excess of 120% of the federal long-term rate) for Mr. Hage for 2011.

³This column includes deferred compensation earned in earlier years which was disclosed in the Summary Compensation Table as follows: Mr. Hage, $0 in 2011, $18,000 in 2010 and $34,616 in 2009.

Deferred Compensation Agreement. The Bank and Mr. Hage have previously entered into an Amended and Restated Deferred Compensation Agreement. Pursuant to the Deferred Compensation Agreement, Mr. Hage may elect to defer an amount of his total annual base salary, which amount may be modified by his filing a subsequent signed election form, which modification (subject to certain unforeseeable emergency exceptions) is not effective until the beginning of the following calendar year. Interest on the deferred compensation will be credited and compounded on a monthly basis to a deferral account. The Deferred Compensation Agreement provides that the annual rate of interest becomes effective each plan year and equals The Wall Street Journal prime rate plus one percent on the first business day of the plan year. Mr. Hage's deferral account balance accrued interest at an average annual rate of 4.25% during fiscal 2011.

Table of Contents

Pursuant to the Deferred Compensation Agreement with Mr. Hage, the Bank will pay Mr. Hage the deferral account balance in a lump sum on the first day of the month following the six month anniversary of Mr. Hage's termination if Mr. Hage terminates his employment under the following circumstances:

•: on or after the normal retirement date for reasons other than death,
•: before the normal retirement date, for reasons other than death, change of control or disability, or
•: before the normal retirement date for disability.

The normal retirement date is when the executive attains age 65.

Upon a change in control while Mr. Hage is in the active employ of the Bank, the Bank will pay to Mr. Hage the deferral account balance in a lump sum within 60 days after the change in control. The Bank will also distribute all or a portion of the deferred account balance upon the Bank's determination that Mr. Hage has suffered an unforeseeable emergency.

If Mr. Hage's employment is terminated due to death while he is in the active service of the Bank, the Bank will pay to Mr. Hage's beneficiary the greater of:

•: the deferral account balance at the date of the termination due to death, or
•: the projected benefit, which will mean the balance that would have accumulated in the Mr. Hage's deferral account at the normal retirement date, assuming that Mr. Hage: (i) continued to receive compensation at the same rate, (ii) continued to defer compensation at the same rate and (iii) survived to the normal retirement date.

The Bank will pay the death benefit to Mr. Hage's beneficiary in a lump sum on the sixtieth day after Mr. Hage's death.

In the event that Mr. Hage is terminated for "cause," as determined in accordance with his employment agreement, the Bank will not pay any benefit attributable to interest credited to the deferral account.

Potential Payments Upon Termination or a Change-in-Control

Employment Agreements. The Corporation, through its wholly owned subsidiary, the Bank, has previously entered into employment agreements with each of its Named Executive Officers. Under such agreements, executive officers are entitled to certain severance upon termination without "cause," disability and death.

Under the form of agreement applicable to each of the Named Executive Officers except for Mr. Hage, if the executive officer is terminated for "cause" by the Bank, the Bank will pay the executive officer his full salary through the date of termination and will have no further obligations to the executive officer under his employment agreement.

If the executive officer is terminated without "cause" by the Bank, other than by reason of disability or death, the Bank will pay the executive officer:

•: his full salary through the date of termination, and
•: each month for twelve months one-twelfth of the total of (a) his monthly salary in effect at the time of termination times the number of months remaining until the expiration of his employment agreement, plus (b) an amount equal to one year's annual base salary.

Table of Contents

If the executive officer is terminated by the Bank because of disability (as determined under the Bank's disability plan), the Bank will pay the executive officer through the last day of the month in which he is terminated plus an amount equal to three months base salary.

If the executive officer is terminated due to his death, the Bank will pay the executive officer's spouse, beneficiary, or estate (a) the executive officer's then current salary through the last day of the month in which such death occurs, and (b) the executive officer's incentive awards under the Short-Term Incentive Plan and the Long-Term Incentive Plan in accordance with the terms of such plans.

If the executive officer terminates his employment and provides 60 days written notice (as required by the agreement), the Bank will pay the executive officer his current salary through the month in which such termination occurs, plus one additional month's salary. If the executive officer fails to give the requisite 60-day notice, he will forfeit all accrued paid personal time off and the Bank will pay the executive officer his current salary only through the date of termination.

If the executive officer terminates his employment because he chose not to extend the term of his employment agreement, the Bank will pay the executive officer his full salary during the period of time that the employee continues to work (but not beyond the end of the term of the employment agreement), at the rate then in effect, plus accrued paid personal time off. However, the Bank may request the executive officer to terminate employment before the end of the term of the employment agreement, in which event the Bank will pay the executive officer his full salary through the end of the term of the employment agreement at the rate then in effect, plus accrued paid personal time off. If the executive officer's employment is terminated because the Bank has chosen not to extend the term of his employment agreement, the Bank will pay the executive officer his full salary through the end of the term of the employment agreement at the rate then in effect plus accrued paid personal time off.

Under the employment agreements, the executive covenants that during the term of his employment agreement and for a period of one year following termination of such agreement by the Bank or by such executive officer for any reason, voluntarily or involuntarily, with or without "cause," he will not, directly or indirectly, engage in or assist others to engage in any business competing with the business carried on by the Bank or solicit business from any customers of the Bank in the locations where the Bank conducts business. Generally, all severance payments under the employment agreements are conditioned upon the executive officer's compliance with these non-compete provisions and any such severance payments must be returned by the executive officer to the Bank if he violates these non-compete provisions. Additionally, the executive officers may not during their employment and for one year thereafter induce or attempt to induce any person who is an employee of the Bank to leave the employ of the Bank or engage in any business that competes with the Bank. The executive officers further agree not to disclose to anyone inside or outside the Bank or use for their own benefit or the benefit of others any confidential, trade secret and proprietary information of the Bank.

Under the employment agreements, "cause" means termination upon (a) material violation of a law or regulation that: (i) governs the executive officer's conduct as an officer of the Bank, or (ii) in the reasonable opinion of the Bank affects the executive officer's fitness to serve in his position, (b) substantial neglect of the executive officer's duties, (c) action or inaction, which materially and adversely impacts the Bank's safety, soundness, security, assets, customers or employees, (d) dishonesty of a material nature, (e) failure to comply with material rules, regulations or policies of the Bank, (f) engaging in personal conduct which, when considering the executive officer's position with the Bank, would materially detract from its business reputation in the community served, (g) material breach of any material covenant or condition of the employment agreement, and (h) willful and material misconduct.

The Corporation, through its wholly owned subsidiary, the Bank, has previously entered into change-in-control agreements with each of its Named Executive Officers (except that Mr. Hage's

Table of Contents

change-in-control agreement terminated by its terms on June 30, 2011). Under these agreements, in the event a Named Executive Officer is terminated in connection with a "change-in-control," as defined in his change-in-control agreement, the executive officer will be entitled to the severance benefits set forth in the change-in-control agreement, in lieu of the severance benefits set forth in his respective employment agreement.

Mr. Hage has entered into a separate Revised Employment Agreement effective July 1, 2011, as discussed under "Employment Agreements" above. The potential payments to be paid under such agreement are the same as the employment agreements of the Corporation's other Named Executive Officers, as described above, except that if Mr. Hage is terminated without cause during the term of the agreement, he will continue to receive his base salary through December 31, 2011, as severance pay. Either the Bank or Mr. Hage may terminate the Revised Employment Agreement without cause upon written notice.

Under the Revised Employment Agreement, "cause," which includes material violation of a law or regulation that either governs Mr. Hage's conduct as an officer of the Bank or in the reasonable opinion of the Bank affects Mr. Hage's fitness to serve in his position, substantial neglect of duties, action or inaction that materially and adversely impacts the Bank's safety, soundness, security, assets, customers or employees, dishonesty of a material nature, failure to comply with material rules, regulations or policies of the Bank, engaging in personal conduct which when considering Mr. Hage's position with the Bank would materially detract from the Bank's business reputation in the community served, material breach of any material covenant of the Revised Employment Agreement, or willful and material misconduct.

Change-In-Control Agreements. The Corporation, through its wholly owned subsidiary, the Bank, has previously entered into change-in-control agreements with each of the Named Executive Officers (except that Mr. Hage's change-in-control agreement terminated on June 30, 2011). The change-in-control agreements continue in effect while the executive officer is employed with the Bank; provided, however, that if the executive officer of the Bank gives notice of non-extension of his employment agreement, his change-in-control agreement will terminate when his employment agreement terminates. However, if such notice of non-extension is given by the Bank at a time when the Bank is actively negotiating a transaction with a third party that may result in a change-in-control or at a time when the stockholders of the Corporation are being solicited to vote for directors who would not be continuing directors and the election of such directors would effect a change-in-control, or at a time when the stockholders of the Corporation are being solicited to tender their shares in an offering that if successful would result in a change-in-control, the change-in-control agreement shall not terminated until nine months following the termination of his employment agreement.

The Compensation Committee does not view the potential benefits conferred upon a change in control of the Corporation as additional elements of compensation due to the fact that a change in control may never occur. The Compensation Committee believes that these arrangements allow the Named Executive Officers to focus their attention and energy on the Corporation's business without any distractions regarding the effects of a change in control, and assists us in maximizing stockholder value by allowing the Named Executive Officers to participate in an objective review of any proposed transaction and whether such transaction is in the best interest of the stockholders.

Following a "change-in-control" and upon termination of the executive officer's employment within 24 months following a change in control (a) by the Bank for any reason other than "cause," or (b) by the executive officer for "good reason," the executive officer will be entitled to the following benefits:

•: full annual base salary through the date of termination;
•: any incentive payment under the Bank's Short-Term Incentive Plan that he has a right to receive on the last day of the fiscal year prior to his date of termination;

Table of Contents

•: any incentive payment under the Bank's Long-Term Incentive Plan that has accrued to him as of the first day of the month following his date of termination;
•: (1) for and during the period of time that the executive officer is eligible for and properly elects continued coverage under the Bank's health and dental plans, subsidized coverage as if the executive officer remained an active employee of the Bank but for no more than 36 months following the date of termination and only with respect to the level of health and dental insurance coverage in which the executive officer was enrolled (e.g., single or family); if the executive officer's continuation of coverage terminates for reasons other than nonpayment of the executive officer's share of the costs of the coverage or fraud before he has received 36 months of coverage, reimbursement of the executive officer for replacement health and dental coverage during the remainder of the 36 months following the date of termination, but only with respect to the level of health and dental coverage in which the executive officer was enrolled immediately prior to the notice of termination (e.g., single or family), and only in an amount up to the difference between the then COBRA premium charged by the Bank to continue COBRA and the amount that active employees are required to pay for their coverage, and (2) for up to 18 months after the date of termination, payment of the premiums due under executive officer's disability policy and life insurance policy into which the executive officer is permitted to convert his group term coverage, but only during the time and to the extent that he continues such coverage;
•: any benefits payable under the Excess Pension Plan;
•: certain out-placement counseling services not to exceed $10,000;
•: lump sum payment of $5,000 in lieu of reimbursement for certain financial planning and tax preparation expenses;
•: lump sum payment equal to the value of any other fringe benefits or perquisites provided to the executive officer immediately prior to the date of termination; and
•: acceleration of vesting of all outstanding awards under the 2002 Stock Plan in accordance with the terms thereof.

In addition to the above, the Bank will pay a lump sum severance payment equal to a multiple times the sum of (a) the executive officer's annual base salary in effect at the time notice of termination is given or immediately prior to the date of the change-in-control, whichever is greater, and (b) the amount determined as follows: (i) the amount that the executive officer had accrued during the plan year under the Short-Term Incentive Plan as of the first of the month following the month in which the change-in-control occurred, annualized by dividing the amount accrued by the number of months from the start of the plan year to the first of the month following the month in which the change-in-control occurred multiplied by twelve; plus, (ii) the amount of each of the short-term incentive awards, if any, awarded to the executive officer in the three years immediately prior to the change-in-control divided by four. The multiple for Mr. Posegate is 2.0, and the multiple for each of Messrs. Olthoff, Bianchi and Brown is 1.5. Such severance payments are conditioned upon compliance with the non-compete provisions of the executive officer's employment agreement and any payments made must be returned by the executive officer to the Bank if he violates such non-compete provisions.

In addition to the above, Mr. Hage is entitled to payment in accordance with his Deferred Compensation Agreement and Messrs. Olthoff, Posegate and Brown are entitled to a lump sum payment equal to 18 months of membership dues of the country club(s) to which the executive officer is a member on the date of termination.

Table of Contents

No benefits are payable under the change-in-control agreements following a change-in-control if the executive officer is terminated because of his death, by the Bank for "cause," or by the executive officer other than for "good reason."

The change-in-control agreements provide that if any payment or distribution (or portion thereof) by the Bank to or for the benefit of such executive officers would be nondeductible by the Bank for federal income tax purposes because of Section 280G of the Internal Revenue Code, then such payment or benefit will be reduced to an amount, not less than zero, that maximizes the aggregate present value of such payments or benefits without causing such to be nondeductible by the Bank.

Under the change-in-control agreements, "change-in-control" means (a) a change-in-control of a nature that would be required to be reported in response to Item 6(e) of Schedule 14A of Regulation 14A promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, whether or not the Corporation is then subject to such reporting requirement, (b) the public announcement by the Corporation or any person that such person has become the beneficial owner, directly or indirectly, of securities of the Corporation (i) representing 20% or more, but not more than 50%, of the combined voting power of the Corporation's then outstanding securities unless the transaction resulting in such ownership has been approved in advance by the continuing directors, or (ii) representing more than 50% of the combined voting power of the Corporation's then outstanding securities (regardless of any approval by the continuing directors); provided, however, that notwithstanding the foregoing, no change-in-control shall be deemed to have occurred by reason of the ownership of 20% or more of the total voting capital stock of the Corporation's then issued and outstanding by the Corporation, any subsidiary of the Corporation or any employee benefit plan of the Corporation or of any subsidiary of the Corporation or any entity holding shares of its common stock organized, appointed or established for, or pursuant to the terms of, any such plan, (c) any acquisition of control as defined in 12 Code of Federal Regulations Section 574.4, or any successor regulation, of the Corporation which would require the filing of an application for acquisition of control or notice of change-in-control in a manner which is set forth in 12 CFR Section 574.3, or any successor regulation, (d) the continuing directors cease to constitute a majority of the Corporation's Board of Directors, or (e) the stockholders of the Corporation approve (i) any consolidation or merger of the Corporation in which the Corporation is not the continuing or surviving corporation or pursuant to which shares of the Corporation stock would be converted into cash, securities or other property, other than a merger of the Corporation in which stockholders immediately prior to the merger have the same proportionate ownership of stock of the surviving corporation immediately after the merger, (ii) any sale, lease, exchange or other transfer (in one transaction or a series of related transactions) of all or substantially all of the assets of the Corporation, or (iii) any plan of liquidation or dissolution of the Corporation.

Under the change-in-control agreements, "cause" has the same meaning as set forth in the employment agreements, and as defined above in this Proxy Statement. However, under the change-in-control agreements, termination for "cause" will be proceeded by a fair and complete investigation.

"Good reason" means termination by the executive officer upon the occurrence, without his express written consent, of any one of the more of the following: (a) the assignment to the executive officer of any duties inconsistent in any respect with the executive officer's position (including status, offices, titles, and reporting requirements), authorities, duties, or other responsibilities as in effect immediately prior to the change-in-control or any other action of the Bank which results in a diminishment in such position, authority, duties, or responsibilities, other than an insubstantial and inadvertent action which is remedied by the Bank promptly after receipt of notice thereof give by the executive officer, (b) a reduction by the Bank in the executive officer's base salary as in effect on the date hereof or as the same shall be increased from time-to-time, (c) the failure by the Bank to (i) continue in effect any material compensation or benefit plan, program, policy or practice in which the executive officer was participating at the time of the change-in-control, or (ii) provide the executive

Table of Contents

officer with compensation and benefits at least equal (in terms of benefit levels and/or reward opportunities) to those provided for under each employee benefit plan, program, policy and practice as in effect immediately prior to the change-in-control (or as in effect following the change-in-control, if greater), (d) the failure of the Bank to obtain a satisfactory agreement from any successor to the Bank to assume and agree to perform under the change-in-control agreement, and (e) any purported termination by the Bank of the executive officer's employment that is not effected pursuant to a "Notice of Termination." "Notice of Termination" means a written notice that (1) indicates the specific termination provision in the change-in-control agreement relied upon, (2) sets forth the date of termination, and (3) sets forth in reasonable detail the facts and circumstances claimed to provide a basis for termination of the executive officer's employment under the provision so indicated.

Short-Term Incentive Plan. Except as provided below, if during the fiscal year of the Bank, a participant terminates his employment or if the Bank terminates the employment of the participant during that same period, all rights to an award under the plan for that year are forfeited. If the employment of a participant terminates after the end of the fiscal year, but before benefits earned during such year are paid, the rights to such benefits are not forfeited. If a participant dies, becomes disabled, retires, or is entitled to benefits under a change-in-control agreement during a plan year, they or their designated beneficiary will receive an incentive payment for the partial year based on the number of months from the start of the plan year to the first of the month following the month in which the death, disability, retirement, or the date of termination occurs, but only to the extent that an incentive payment is otherwise earned for the plan year.

Long-Term Incentive Plan. Except as provided below, if the employment of a participant terminates during the fiscal year for which performance is being measured and which might result in an award, all rights to an award under the plan are forfeited. If a participant dies during a plan year, they or their designated beneficiary will receive, in cash, any incentive payment for the partial year otherwise payable in cash, based on the number of months from the start of the plan year to the first month following the month in which the death occurred, but only to the extent that any incentive payment is otherwise earned for the plan year. If a participant is entitled to benefits under a change-in-control agreement, the participant will receive, in cash, any incentive payment for the partial year otherwise payable in cash, based on the number of months from the start of the plan year to the first day of the month following the month in which the date of termination occurs. Once stock appreciation rights, stock options and/or restricted stock have been awarded, the terms of the 2002 Stock Plan will control.

2002 Stock Option and Incentive Plan and related Award Agreements. In years prior to 2011, Messrs. Olthoff, Posegate and Brown were awarded stock options, stock appreciation rights and/or restricted stock under the 2002 Stock Plan, and Mr. Hage was awarded stock options and restricted stock under such plan. Under the terms of the 2002 Stock Plan and related award agreements, all unvested stock options, stock appreciation rights and restricted stock awards automatically fully vest upon the participant's death.

Payments Upon Termination

The following table provides quantitative disclosure of the estimated payments and benefits that would be provided to our Named Executive Officers upon their termination, including their termination in connection with a change in control of the Corporation. The benefits set forth below are calculated as if the Named Executive Officer's termination occurred on June 30, 2011, the last business day of the 2011 fiscal year. Each Named Executive Officer is entitled to receive amounts earned during the term of his employment. These amounts include base salary, any accrued paid personal time off, any benefits that have accrued under the Short-Term Incentive Plan, Long-Term Incentive Plan, 401(k) Plan, ESOP, Pension Plan and Excess Pension and, in the case of Mr. Hage, his deferral account under the Deferred Compensation Agreement, and are not reflected in the below table. Consequently, the below table

Item 13. Certain Relationships and Related Transactions, and Director Independence.

Policy on Review, Approval or Ratification of Transactions with Related Persons

The Board of Directors has adopted a written policy with respect to transactions involving the Bank and "related persons" (generally the executive officers (anyone in the position of senior vice president and above), directors and principal stockholders and their immediate family members). All employee loans (other than loans to related persons) must be approved by a senior vice president authorized to grant credit, and all loans to related persons require prior approval by the Audit Committee.

The Corporation intends that all transactions between the Corporation or the Bank and its officers, directors, holders of 10% or more of the shares of any class of its Common Stock and affiliates thereof, will contain terms no less favorable to the Corporation than could have been obtained by it in arm's-length negotiations with unaffiliated persons and will be approved by a majority of disinterested members of the Audit Committee.

Additionally, all transactions with affiliates (an affiliate of a savings association includes the parent company, which controls the savings association and any other company that is controlled by the parent company, which controls the savings association) require the prior approval of a member of the executive management team.

Transactions With Related Persons

The Bank, like many financial institutions, has followed a policy of granting officers, directors and employees loans secured by the borrower's residence, consumer loans and commercial loans. Consumer loans to employees are originated at market rates and terms currently available to the public, and modified to one percent below the market rate. Modifications are not made on loans granted with special promotional rates. In addition, in connection with single-family mortgage loans made to employees, origination fees up to one percent and the underwriting fees are waived for qualified employee applicants, no more than once every twelve months. If the employee relationship ceases, the terms of the loan revert back to the terms that would have applied except for the employee-employer relationship.

Loans by the Bank to its officers and directors are not prohibited under Section 402 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 because the Bank is an insured depository institution and such loans are subject to the insider lending restrictions of Section 22(g) and 22(h) of the Federal Reserve Act and Regulation O of the Federal Reserve. These provisions restrict loans and other transactions with affiliated persons of the Bank and require all such loans be made on terms and conditions comparable to those for similar transactions with non-affiliates. All loans by the Bank to its officers and directors are made in the ordinary course of business; are 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 do not involve more than the normal risk of collectability or present other unfavorable features. All loans from the Bank to its officers, directors, key employees or their affiliates are approved by the Bank's Loan Committee and ratified by the Bank's Board of Directors.

Director Independence

Our board is comprised of a majority of "independent" directors as defined in Rule 5605(a)(2) of the Marketplace Rules of the NASDAQ Stock Market.

The Board of Directors has determined that the following current directors are independent directors as defined by the NASDAQ Marketplace Rules: Ms. Hamilton and Messrs. Day, Hanson, Horazdovsky, Van Wyhe and Vekich. Mr. Hage is not an independent director because he served as the Corporation's President and Chief Executive Officer. In accordance with NASDAQ rules, the

Table of Contents

independent directors meet in executive sessions without management directors present, both in conjunction with board meetings and from time to time.

Our board of directors has audit, compensation, corporate governance and nominating, and executive committees. Each of the key committees (audit, compensation, and corporate governance and nominating) consists solely of members who are independent as defined in Rule 5605(a)(2) of the Marketplace Rules of the NASDAQ Stock Market. In addition, each member of the audit committee is independent as defined in Exchange Act Rule 10A-3 and each member of the compensation committee is a non-employee director and is an outside director under the rules of the SEC and the IRS, respectively.

Item 14. Principal Accountant Fees and Services.

Audit Committee Pre-Approval Policies

Rules adopted by the SEC in order to implement requirements of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 require audit committees of public companies to pre-approve audit and permissible non-audit services provided by their independent auditors. The Audit Committee has adopted detailed pre-approval policies and procedures pursuant to which audit, audit-related and tax services, and all permissible non-audit services are pre-approved. During the fiscal year, in the event it becomes necessary to engage the independent auditor for additional services not contemplated in the original pre-approval, the Corporation will obtain the specific pre-approval of the Audit Committee before engaging the independent auditor. The pre-approval policy requires the Audit Committee to be informed of each service performed by the independent auditor, and the policy does not include any delegation of the Audit Committee's responsibilities to management. The Audit Committee may delegate pre-approval authority to one or more of its members. The member to whom such authority is delegated will report any pre-approval decisions to the entire Audit Committee at its next scheduled meeting.

During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2011, all services rendered by Eide Bailly, LLP, total amounts for which are set forth below, were pre-approved by the Audit Committee in compliance with these procedures.

Eide served as the Corporation's independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2011, and fiscal year ended June 30, 2010. Fees billed to the Corporation by Eide for fiscal year 2011 and 2010 are set forth below.
