Item 8.01Other Events.



On February 3,  2021, at a special meeting of members of Lake Shore, MHC (the “MHC”), which is the mutual holding company of Lake Shore Bancorp, Inc. (the “Company”), the members of the MHC (i.e., depositors of Lake Shore Savings Bank) voted to approve the MHC’s waiver of aggregated dividends declared by the Company on its common stock during the twelve months subsequent to the members approval (i.e., through February 2,  2022), of up to $0.54 per share.



Following the receipt of member approval, the MHC will apply to the Federal Reserve Board for its non-objection to dividend waivers by the MHC for the next 12 months.  If this non-objection is obtained from the Federal Reserve Board prior to March 15,  2021, the expected payment date of the fourth quarter 2020 dividend, the MHC intends to waive its receipt of such dividend.



On February 3,  2021, the Company’s Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.13 per share on its outstanding common stock.  The dividend is payable on March 15,  2021 to shareholders of record as of February 26,  2021.
