INCENTIVE COMPENSATION PLAN 

2019 
 Purpose of the Plan 

BSB Bancorp, Inc. (the Company) has adopted this Incentive Compensation Plan (the Plan) for the purpose of supporting the organizational and financial
objectives of the Company as defined in the Company’s Business Plan. This Plan provides incentive compensation (Incentive Awards) to certain named Executive Officers and other key contributing officers (the Participants). The Plan is
designed to ensure that participants do not take on undue risk to achieve payouts. All participants with responsibility for managing risk have goals for risk control and clawback provisions in the Plan. 

The Plan is further intended to attract, motivate, and retain high quality executives and to support continued growth and profitability of the Company.
Participation in the Incentive Plan is dependent upon one’s responsibility within the Company and ability to influence the Company’s strategic outcomes. Individual incentive payout targets will be shared with each participant. It is
important to note that this Plan is established to reward and recognize participants for meeting set objectives. This Plan is not meant to be a substitute for salary increases.

 Definitions 
 Each group of
Officers has a Maximum Target bonus as a percentage of their salaries. The Maximum Target is met when an individual achieves all objectives and exceeds the important objectives. 

The incentive payout for each officer classification will be weighted to include a percentage based on Company-Wide Goals and a percentage based on Individual
Goals. Company-Wide Goals will be weighted higher than Individual Goals when considering incentive recommendations for Executive Officers. 
 For the
President and Executive Vice Presidents, Company-Wide Goals are weighted at 75%, for Senior Vice Presidents 50%, and for Vice Presidents and other Officers 25%. The Compensation Committee will determine the performance against the Company-Wide
Goals.

 Other Considerations 
 It
is not possible to consider all issues that will invariably materialize as plans are developed and implemented. Therefore, the Bank President will act on individual cases as issues are identified. The plan is “discretionary” based on
individual performance consistent with the business plan. Participants on final written warning will be disqualified from receiving an incentive payout for the plan year. The Compensation Committee will also weigh progress on Regulatory
matters in determining the performance of management with respect to Company-Wide Goals. 
 Eligible participants are required to return a signed
acknowledgement of this policy by March 15 annually. 
 Withholding for Taxes 

The Company shall deduct from all payments under this Plan any federal or state taxes required by law to be withheld with respect to such payments. This
payment is subject to 401k deductions and Company match. No other voluntary deductions will be taken from this payment. 
 Clawback Policy 

Any bonus or incentive compensation paid or payable under this Plan is subject to the Clawback Policy for Incentive Compensation adopted by BSB Bancorp, Inc.
on December 21, 2016.
