(a)  
Not applicable.
(b)  
On June 5, 2008, Mr. John P. Judge, a director of Prudential Bancorp, Inc. of Pennsylvania (the “Company”), submitted his resignation from the Board of Directors of the Company and all positions thereon, such resignation to be effective at the next scheduled meeting of the Company’s Board of Directors to be held on June 18, 2008. Mr. Judge also tendered his resignation from the Boards of Directors of both the Company’s mutual holding company parent, Prudential Mutual Holding Company (the “MHC”), and the Company’s wholly owned insured subsidiary, Prudential Savings Bank (the “Bank”), such resignations to be effective concurrently with his resignation from the Board of Directors of the Company.  In tendering his resignation, Mr. Judge indicated his decision was the result of the consideration of both his health and that of his spouse and was also to avoid the expense and unpleasantness that would be occasioned by defending himself against the allegations made by Stilwell Value Partners LP, I (“Stilwell”) in its demand letter dated May 14, 2008 submitted to the Company (the receipt of which was previously reported by the Company pursuant to a Form 8-K filed on May 27, 2008 with the Securities and Exchange Commission reporting the dismissal of the lawsuit brought by Stilwell against the Company, the MHC and each of the directors of the Company and the MHC individually).

Upon acceptance of Mr. Judge’s resignation and in consideration and recognition of his valued service to the Bank for the past 25 years, the Board of Directors of the Bank on June 6, 2008 appointed Mr. Judge as a director emeritus thereof, effective July 1, 2008.  For his service in such capacity, he will receive during the period he serves in such capacity a monthly stipend of $500 as well as the continued provision of health and life insurance.  His appointment will be reviewed annually by the Board.

The Board of Directors of the Company, as well as the Boards of the MHC and the Bank, reduced the size of their respective boards, effective with Mr. Judge’s resignation.
