(e)     On December 13, 2019, Sound Community Bank (the “Bank”), the wholly owned operating subsidiary of Sound Financial Bancorp, Inc. (the “Company”), entered into an Amended and Restated Confidentiality, Non-Competition, and Non-Solicitation Agreement (the “Amended Non-Compete Agreement”) with Ms. Stewart in order to comply with the Engrossed Substitute House Bill 1450, which was signed into law on May 8, 2019 and which governs non-competition agreements in the State of Washington.  The Amended Non-Compete Agreement amends and restates the Confidentiality, Non-Competition, and Non-Solicitation Agreement between the Bank and Ms. Stewart as originally adopted effective December 30, 2011, as amended and restated on November 23, 2015 and January 25, 2019 (the “Prior Non-Compete Agreement”).

The Amended Non-Compete Agreement provides that the term of the non-compete and non-solicitation periods applicable to Ms. Stewart is a fixed period of 18 months from the date of Ms. Stewart’s separation from service with the Company and the Bank (the “Restricted Period”). Under the Prior Non-Compete Agreement, the Restricted Period was for a fixed period of thirty-six (36) months.

The Amended Non-Compete Agreement also was revised to make clarifying, non-substantive, or ministerial changes.

The foregoing summary of the Amended Non-Compete Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Amended Non-Compete Agreement, a copy of which is attached as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated herein by reference.
