**ITEM 13.****                                        ****Certain Relationships and Related Transactions, and Director Independence**

 

Rule 5605(b)(1) of the listing standards of the NASDAQ Stock Market generally requires that a majority of a listed company’s board of directors be “independent” as defined in Rule 5605(a)(2) of the listing standards.  Pursuant to Rule 5615(c)(2) of the listing standards, a listed company that is a “controlled corporation” is exempt from certain requirements of the listing standards, including that a majority of its board of directors be independent under the listing standards.  Because Oconee Federal, MHC owns more than 50% of the Company’s outstanding common stock, and therefore more than 50% of the voting power with respect to the election of directors, the Company is a “controlled corporation” within the meaning of Rule 5615(c)(1) of the listing standards, and accordingly, is exempt from the requirement that a majority of its board of directors be “independent.”  The Company is relying on this exemption due to the fact that three of its six directors, Messrs. T. Evatt, C. Evatt and Poore, are not “independent” within the meaning of the listing standards.

 

All other information required by this item is incorporated herein by reference to the section captioned “Proposal I — Election of Directors — Transactions with Certain Related Persons”  of the Company’s definitive Proxy Statement for the 2011 Annual Meeting of Stockholders.
