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

On May 11, 2012, Wolverine Bancorp, Inc. (the “Company”) received a letter from Ron R. Sexton announcing his resignation as a director of the Company and as a director of Wolverine Bank (the “Bank”). At the time of his resignation, Mr. Sexton was a member of the Audit Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors. Mr. Sexton was not renominated by the Company to stand for election to the Board of Directors of the Company at the 2012 annual meeting of stockholders.

In his letter, Mr. Sexton set forth the reasons for his resignation including that he believes the Board of Directors “refused to honor its promises to me under the Directors Deferral Plan, choosing instead to stall in an attempt to force me to sign an agreement containing untrue statements and numerous completely unacceptable covenants and conditions.” In addition, Mr. Sexton listed concerns regarding certain policies and practices of the Bank as additional reasons for his resignation, as set forth in his letter.

Mr. Sexton’s letter is attached as Exhibit 17 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.
