The Wayne Savings Employee Stock Ownership Plan Trust (the "Trust") was established pursuant to the Wayne Savings Employee Stock Ownership Plan ("ESOP"). At December 31, 2016, 128,649 shares of Common Stock were allocated to individual accounts established for participating employees and their beneficiaries and 27,266 shares were held unallocated for allocation in future years. Under the terms of the ESOP, the Trustee must vote the allocated shares held in the ESOP in accordance with the instructions of the participating employees. Unallocated shares held in the ESOP generally will be voted by the ESOP Trustee in the same proportion for and against proposals to shareholders as the ESOP participants and beneficiaries actually vote shares of Common Stock allocated to their individual accounts, subject in each case to the fiduciary duties of the ESOP trustees and applicable law. Any allocated shares which either abstain on the proposal or are not voted will be disregarded in determining the percentage of stock voted for and against each proposal by the participants and beneficiaries.
