Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement, Unregistered Sale of Equity Securi

Item 1.01 Entry Into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On December 12, 2008, as part of the Capital Purchase Program established by the U.S. Department of the Treasury under the Emergency Economic Stabilization Act of 2008 ("EESA"), HopFed Bancorp, Inc. (the "Company") agreed, pursuant to a letter agreement, including the Securities Purchase Agreement - Standard Terms incorporated by reference therein (the "Purchase Agreement"), issued and sold to the U.S. Department of the Treasury (the "Treasury") for a purchase price of $18.4 million (i) 18,400 shares (the "Preferred Shares") of the Company's Fixed Rate Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock, Series A, having a liquidation preference of $1,000 per share, and (ii) a ten-year warrant (the "Warrant") to purchase up to 243,816 shares of the Company's voting common stock, par value $.01 per share ("Common Stock"), at an initial exercise price of $11.32 per share, for an aggregate purchase price of $2.8 million in cash.

The transaction closed on December 12, 2008 (the "Closing Date"). The issuance and sale of these securities was a private placement exempt from registration pursuant to Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933.

Cumulative dividends on the Preferred Shares will accrue on the liquidation preference at a rate of 5% per annum for the first five years, and at a rate of 9% per annum thereafter, but will be paid only if, as and when declared by the Company's Board of Directors. The Preferred Shares have no maturity date and rank senior to the Common Stock with respect to the payment of dividends and distributions and amounts payable upon liquidation, dissolution and winding up of the Company. Subject to the approval of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, the Preferred Shares are redeemable at the option of the Company at 100% of their liquidation preference. Prior to this date, the Company may redeem the Preferred Shares in whole or in part at 100% of their liquidation preferences only if (i) the Company has raised aggregate gross proceeds in one or more Qualified Equity Offerings (as defined in the Purchase Agreement and set forth below) in excess of $4.6 million and (ii) the aggregate redemption price does not exceed the aggregate net proceeds from such Qualified Equity Offerings.

The Warrant is immediately exercisable. The Treasury may not transfer a portion or portions of the Warrant with respect to, and/or exercise the Warrant for more than one-half of, the 243,816 shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrant, in the aggregate, until the earlier of (i) the date on which the Company has received aggregate gross proceeds of not less than $18.4 million from one or more Qualified Equity Offerings (as defined in the Purchase Agreement and set forth below) and (ii) December 31, 2009. In the event the Company completes one or more Qualified Equity Offerings on or prior to December 31, 2009, that result in the Company receiving aggregate gross proceeds of at least $18.4 million, the number of the shares of Common Stock underlying the portion of the Warrant then held by the Treasury will be reduced by 121,908 shares of Common Stock, one-half of the shares of Common Stock originally covered by the Warrant. For the purposes of the foregoing, "Qualified Equity Offering" is defined as the sale and issuance for cash by the Company to persons other than the Company or any Company subsidiary after the Closing Date of shares of perpetual

Preferred Stock, Common Stock or any combination of such stock, that, in each case, qualify as and may be included in Tier I capital of the Company at the time of issuance under the applicable risk-based capital guidelines of the Company's federal banking agency (other than any such sales and issuances made pursuant to agreements or arrangements entered into, or pursuant to financing plans which were publicly announced, on or prior to October 13, 2008).

The Company has agreed to register the resale of the Preferred Shares and the Warrant, and the issuance of shares of Common Stock upon exercise of the Warrant, as soon as practicable after December 12, 2008. Neither the Preferred Shares nor the Warrant are subject to any contractual restrictions on transfer, except as noted above with respect to the Warrant.

The Purchase Agreement pursuant to which the Preferred Shares and the Warrant were sold contains limitations on the payment of dividends on the Common Stock (including with respect to the payment of cash dividends in excess of $0.12 per share, which was the amount of the last regular dividend declared by the Company prior to October 14, 2008) and on the Company's ability to repurchase its Common Stock, and subjects the Company to certain of the executive compensation limitations included in the EESA. As a condition to the closing of the transaction, each of Messrs. John E. Peck, Michael L. Woolfolk, Michael F. Stalls, Billy C. Duvall and Keith Bennett, the Company's Senior Executive Officers (as defined in the Purchase Agreement) (the "Senior Executive Officers"), (i) executed a waiver (the "Waiver") voluntarily waiving any claim against the Treasury or the Company for any changes to such Senior Executive Officer's compensation or benefits that are required to comply with the regulation issued by the Treasury under the Capital Purchase Program as published in the Federal Register on October 20, 2008, and acknowledging that the regulation may require modification of the compensation, bonus, incentive . . .
