On February 15, 2007, in connection with the anticipated retirement
of Board member, Robert W. Bozenhard, Jr., the Board of Directors of
United Financial Bancorp, Inc. (the "Company") approved an amendment
to the Company's bylaws to reduce the authorized members of the
Board of Directors of the Company from ten to nine members. The
amendment is to be effective at the annual meeting of shareholders
of the Company, scheduled for April 19, 2007.
The Board of Directors also approved an amendment to the bylaws to
allow for the annual meeting of the Board of Directors (following
the annual meeting of shareholders) to be convened at a different
time and different location from that of the annual meeting of
shareholders. The purpose of the amendment is to allow the Company
flexibility in holding the regular board meeting following the
annual meeting of shareholders. This amendment is effective as of
the date of non-objection by the Office of Thrift Supervision, which
is expected shortly.
The Amended and Restated Bylaws, following the amendments, are
included herein as Exhibit 3(ii).
