Item 5.02

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

(e) Employment Agreements. On April 11, 2012, Georgetown Savings Bank (the “Bank”), the wholly-owned subsidiary of Georgetown Bancorp, Inc., entered into employment agreements (the “Agreements”) with Robert E. Balletto, President and Chief Executive Officer, and Joseph W. Kennedy, Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer (each, an “Executive” and collectively, the “Executives”), effective April 11, 2012 (the “Effective Date”). The Agreements, which replace existing employment agreements, each have a term of three years.

Under the terms of the Agreements, Messrs. Balletto and Kennedy will receive annual salaries of $194,000 and $131,840, respectively. The Executives will be entitled to participate in employee benefit plans, arrangements and perquisites and will be eligible for annual incentive compensation and bonuses. The Agreements also provide for reimbursement of ordinary and necessary business expenses, subject to the approval of the Board of Directors of the Bank. In addition, the Agreements acknowledge that the Executives and the Bank have entered into endorsement split dollar agreements with a pre-retirement death benefit of $2.0 million for Mr. Balletto and $1.0 million for Mr. Kennedy. The Agreements require the Bank to make a tax-adjusted compensation payment towards the purchase of an additional life insurance policy to be owned by the Executive with a death benefit of $1.0 million.

Upon termination of an Executive’s employment by the Bank for cause, the Executive will have no right to receive compensation or other benefits for any period after termination. In the event the Executive’s employment is terminated by the Bank for any reason, including a resignation for good reason (as defined in the Agreements), but excluding termination due to retirement or disability or for cause or termination following a change in control, the Executive would be entitled to a payment equal to two times, in the case of Mr. Balletto, and one times, in the case of Mr. Kennedy, the sum of the highest annual rate of base salary, as well as the continuation of life insurance (including coverage under the endorsement split dollar agreement), and medical and dental insurance coverage for two years in the case of Mr. Balletto and one year in the case of Mr. Kennedy. In addition, the Executive would be entitled to a cash payment equal to two times, in the case of Mr. Balletto, and one times in the case of Mr. Kennedy, the tax-adjusted compensation payment toward the individually-owned life insurance policy. The executive would also fully vest in all non-vested stock options and/or restricted stock that have been granted to him. In the event such termination occurs following a change in control, each Executive would be entitled to the payment of a cash severance payment equal to three times his highest annual rate of base salary and three times the tax-adjusted compensation payment towards individually-owned life insurance. The executive would also fully vest in all non-vested stock options and/or restricted stock that have been granted to him. In the event payments made in connection with a change in control would result in an excess parachute payment under Section 280G of the Internal Revenue Code, the benefits payable to the Executive would be reduced to avoid the excess parachute payment.

Under each employment agreement, if an Executive is terminated due to disability (as defined in his employment agreement), he will be entitled to continued life insurance and non-taxable medical and dental coverage substantially comparable to the coverage maintained prior to termination due to disability (except to the extent such coverage is changed for all employees or not available on an individual basis following disability) until the earlier of: (i) the Executive’s return to full-time employment with Georgetown Savings Bank; (ii) the executive’s employment by another employer; (iii) the executive’s attainment of age 65; (iv) the Executive’s death, or (v) 24 months following the Executive’s termination due to disability.

In the event of the Executive’s retirement (as defined in the Agreements), the Executive will be entitled to benefits under the Bank’s retirement policy and other plans to which he is party but will not be entitled to any benefit payment specifically as a result of the employment agreement.

The foregoing description of the Agreements is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Agreements attached hereto as Exhibits 10.1 and 10.2.

Supplemental Disability Benefit Plan for Senior Officers. On April 11, 2012, the Bank entered into a supplemental disability benefit plan (the “Plan”) for the benefit of Messrs. Balletto and Kennedy (each, an “Executive”). Under the Plan, in the event the Executive suffers a disability covered under the Plan, the Executive will be entitled to 66% of the sum of his base salary and average bonus paid over the last 36 months, reduced by (x) the maximum disability benefit paid or expected to be paid to the Executive under the group disability benefit

program sponsored by the Bank and (y) any disability benefit paid or expected to be paid under any disability insurance plan purchased by the Executive with a payment from the Bank. In the event the disability benefit program or disability policy identified in “(x)” or “(y)” fails to pay a disability benefit to the Executive that would be expected to be paid under said program or policy, the Bank generally will not be liable to pay such benefit under the Plan but will only be liable for payment of the disability benefit as determined under the formula set forth above. The compensation committee of the Bank will be the administrator of the Plan. The compensation committee will determine, with objective medical input, whether an Executive is disabled. For these purposes, disability (or disabled) means that the Executive has suffered a disability as defined in the Bank’s group disability policy.

The foregoing description of the Plan is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Plan attached hereto as Exhibit 10.3.
