| (e) | During the past five years, neither the Company nor any of the Insiders have been a party to a civil proceeding of a judicial or administrative body of competent jurisdiction and as a result of such proceeding was or is subject to a judgment, decree or final order enjoining future violations of, or prohibiting or mandating activities subject to, federal or state securities laws or a finding of any violation with respect to such laws. |
| (f) | All of the Insiders are U.S. citizens. |
Item 3. Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration
The Issuer was formed in October 2009 for the purpose of becoming the stock holding company of Cullman Savings Bank (the “Bank”) and the Company was formed in October 2009 for the purpose of becoming the mutual holding company parent of the Issuer. On October 8, 2009, pursuant to the Plan of Reorganization from a Mutual Savings Bank to a Mutual Holding Company and Stock Issuance Plan of the Bank (the “Plan”), 1,382,012 shares of Common Stock of the Issuer were issued to the Company, and 1,080,483 shares of Common Stock of the Issuer were sold to depositors of the Bank (the “Stock Offering”) and 50,255 shares of Common Stock of the Issuer were issued to a charitable foundation.
Item 4. Purpose of Transaction
The primary purpose of the Issuer’s Stock Offering was to allow the Issuer and the Bank to grow through expanded operations, as well as through increased branching and acquisitions. In addition, the Stock Offering gives the Bank and the Issuer greater flexibility to structure and finance the expansion of operations. Because the Issuer only issued a minority of its common stock for sale in the Stock Offering, the Bank’s mutual form of ownership and its ability to remain an independent savings bank and to provide community-oriented financial services is expected to be preserved.
However, while the Company intends to exercise its rights as majority stockholder, neither the Company nor the Insiders currently have any plans or proposals which relate to or would result in: (a) the acquisition by any person of additional securities of the Issuer or the disposition of securities of the Issuer; (b) an extraordinary corporate transaction, such as a merger, reorganization or liquidation, involving the Issuer or any of its subsidiaries; (c) a sale or transfer of a material amount of assets of the Issuer or any of its subsidiaries; (d) any change in the present Board of Directors or management of the Issuer, including any plans or proposals to change the number or term of directors or to fill any existing vacancies on the board; (e) any material change in the present capitalization or dividend policy of the Issuer; (f) any other material change in the Issuer’s business or corporate structure; (g) changes in the Issuer’s charter or bylaws or instruments corresponding thereto or other actions which may impede the acquisition of control of the Issuer by any person; (h) causing a class of securities of the Issuer to be delisted from a national securities exchange or to cease to be authorized or quoted in an inter-dealer quotation system of a registered national securities association; (i) a class of equity securities of the Issuer becoming eligible for termination of registration pursuant to Section 12(g)(4) of the Exchange Act; or (j) any action similar to any of those enumerated above.

In the future, the Company and/or the Insiders may determine to purchase additional shares of the Issuer’s common stock (or other securities of the Issuer) or the Company and/or the Insiders may determine to sell shares of the Issuer’s Common Stock. Any such determination will depend on a number of factors, including market prices, the Issuer’s prospects and alternative investments.
Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer
a. As of October 8, 2009, the Company directly and beneficially owned 1,382,012 shares of the Issuer’s Common Stock, which represented 55.0% of the issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock on such date.
b. The Company has the sole power to vote and the sole power to dispose of the shares of Common Stock it owns.
c. Other than the issuance to the Company of the shares of Issuer’s Common Stock as of October 8, 2009, the Company has not effected any transaction in the Issuer’s Common Stock within the past 60 days.
d. No person or entity other than the Company has the right to receive, or the power to direct the receipt of, dividends from, or the proceeds from the sale of, the shares of the Issuer’s Common Stock reported in this Schedule.
e. Not applicable.
Item 6. Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships with Respect to Securities of the Issuer
As of the date of this Schedule, neither the Company nor any of the Insiders is a party to any contract, arrangement, understanding or relationship among themselves or with any other person with respect to any securities of the Issuer, including but not limited to transfer or voting of any of the Common Stock, finder’s fees, joint ventures, loan or option arrangements, puts or calls, guarantees of profits, division of profits or loss, the giving or withholding of proxies, or otherwise subject to a contingency the occurrence of which would give another person voting or investment power over the Common Stock.
