Stilwell Group will appoint a director to join the board of Lake Shore Bancorp after the activist investor and Dunkirk, N.Y., company reached a truce.
Lake Shore disclosed in a regulatory filing that Dennis Pollack will become a director as part of a standstill agreement between the parties. The agreement will remain in effect until the end of Lake Shore’s 2029 annual meeting.
In return, Stilwell agreed to refrain from buying more Lake Shore stock or trying to force the bank to sell itself.
