Item 5.02.  Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.
 
As previously disclosed, in connection with Daryl D. Pomranke's appointment as Chief Executive Officer of CFS Bancorp, Inc. (the Company) and Citizens Financial Bank (the Bank) effective January 1, 2012, Mr. Pomranke's annual base salary was increased to $290,000. On January 20, 2012, the Compensation Committee of the Company's Board of Directors approved annual base salary increases for the other three Named Executive Officers (NEOs), Jerry A. Weberling, Dale S. Clapp, and Daniel J. Zimmer. On February 27, 2012, Mr. Pomranke and the NEOs declined to accept the approved base salary increases as they believe it is in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders and employees to delay any compensation increases until additional progress is made in executing the Company's Strategic Growth and Diversification Plan.
