Item 8.01. | Other Events. |
On January 20, 2016, the Board of Directors of Westbury Bancorp, Inc. (the “Company”) reviewed the $2.75 million purchase in 2015 of a strip center which houses one of the Bank’s branch offices from Ziegler-Bence Development, a real estate development and management company of which Director J.J. Ziegler is a partner. As a result, the Company determined that Director Ziegler no longer qualifies as an independent director of the Company as defined under applicable NASDAQ rules.
Director Ziegler is a member of the Company’s Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee. The Board has determined that, because the purchase was carried out on an arm’s length basis and because of Director Ziegler’s experience and qualifications, it is in the best interests of stockholders that Mr. Ziegler remains a member of such committee. Accordingly, under these exceptional and limited circumstances, the Board has determined under NASDAQ Rule 5605(e)(3) that Mr. Ziegler may continue to serve on the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee until June 30, 2017.
