GENERAL

Each share of Magyar Bancorp, Inc.’s common stock has the same relative rights as, and are identical in all respects with, each other share of common stock.

The Board of Directors can, without stockholder approval, issue additional shares of common stock. Magyar Bancorp, Inc.’s issuance of additional shares of common stock could dilute the voting strength of the holders of the common stock and may assist management in impeding an unfriendly takeover or attempted change in control.

COMMON STOCK

DISTRIBUTIONS. Magyar Bancorp, Inc. can pay dividends if, as and when declared by its Board of Directors, subject to compliance with limitations that are imposed by law. The holders of common stock of Magyar Bancorp, Inc. are entitled to receive and share equally in such dividends as may be declared by the Board of Directors of Magyar Bancorp, Inc. out of funds legally available therefor. Dividends from Magyar Bancorp, Inc. depend, in part, upon the receipt of dividends from Magyar Bank. Pursuant to our certificate of incorporation, as amended, Magyar Bancorp, Inc. is authorized to issue preferred stock. If Magyar Bancorp, Inc. does issue preferred stock, the holders thereof may have a priority over the holders of the common stock with respect to dividends.

VOTING RIGHTS. The holders of common stock of Magyar Bancorp, Inc. possess exclusive voting rights in Magyar Bancorp, Inc. Each holder of common stock is entitled to one vote per share and does not have any right to cumulate votes in the election of directors. Under certain circumstances, shares in excess of 10% of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock may be considered “Excess Shares” and, accordingly, will not be entitled to vote. If Magyar Bancorp, Inc. issues preferred stock, holders of the preferred stock may also possess voting rights.

LIQUIDATION. In the event of any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of Magyar Bank, Magyar Bancorp, Inc., as holder of Magyar Bank’s capital stock, would be entitled to receive, after payment or provision for payment of all debts and liabilities of Magyar Bank, including all deposit accounts and accrued interest thereon, all assets of Magyar Bank available for distribution. In the event of liquidation, dissolution or winding up of Magyar Bancorp, Inc., the holders of its common stock would be entitled to receive, after payment or provision for payment of all its debts and liabilities, all of the assets of Magyar Bancorp, Inc. available for distribution.

Preemptive rights are the priority right to buy additional shares if Magyar Bancorp, Inc. issues more shares in the future. The common stock is not subject to redemption.

PREFERRED STOCK

No shares of preferred stock are currently outstanding. Preferred stock may be issued with such preferences and designations as the Board of Directors may from time to time determine. The Board of Directors can, without stockholder approval, issue preferred stock with voting, dividend, liquidation and conversion rights, which could dilute the voting strength of the holders of the common stock and may assist management in impeding an unfriendly takeover or attempted change in control.
