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

On January 9, 2012, Rockville Financial, Inc. (the “Company”) and Rockville Bank (the “Bank) amended and restated the employment agreements of each of “Named Executive Officers” Mark A. Kucia, John T. Lund, Marino J. Santarelli and Richard J. Trachimowicz, effective January 1, 2012. The agreements were amended and restated to extend the term of each of the agreements until December 31, 2012, subject to potential annual extensions (Rockville Financial, Inc.’s standard practice for the one-year contracts), and to:

 

 

amend the definition of cause to conform it to the definition found in the employment agreement for the Chief Executive Officer.

 

 

amend the definition of good reason to eliminate the provision that allows an executive to claim good reason termination if he was assigned duties materially inconsistent or adverse to his position and status. The change is protective of the Bank because it eliminates the risk of a dispute over whether a change is “material” and it provides flexibility to assign an executive new duties. The amendment also removes the good reason provision for a “material reduction” in pay and replaces it with a set 15% standard. Additionally, the amendment eliminates the good reason provision for the relocation of an executive’s principal place of employment.

 

 

remove the provisions providing for the payment of legal costs and fees by the Bank in disputes over the employment agreement.

 

 

amend the provision dealing with offices and duties to provide that an executive shall perform such duties as the Chief Executive Officer determines are necessary based on the business needs of the Company and the Bank, allowing for the assignment of different duties to its executives.

The Employment Agreements as amended and restated of Mark A. Kucia, John T. Lund, Marino J. Santarelli, and Richard J. Trachimowicz are included as Exhibits 10.12.1, 10.2, 10.13 and 10.4, respectively, to this Current Report on Form 8-K and are incorporated herein by reference. Similar extensions and amendments were made to other executives’ contracts.
