Item 4.                    Purpose of Transaction

This is the PL Capital Group’s second amendment to its Schedule 13D filing.  The PL Capital Group owns 6.4% of the Company’s Common Stock, based upon the Company’s aggregate outstanding shares as of August 1, 2009.  PL Capital Group’s intent is to influence the policies of the Company and assert PL Capital Group’s stockholder rights.

On November 5, 2009, Messrs. Palmer and Lashley sent a letter to the board of directors requesting that the board reduce director fees and take other actions.  A copy of the letter is attached as Exhibit 4 to this amended Schedule 13D.

On October 7, 2009, Mr. Lashley sent a letter to the Company demanding a list of the stockholders of the Company and related stockholder information, a copy of which was attached as Exhibit 2 to Amendment No. 1 to the Schedule 13D.  On October 16, 2009, the Company responded to the Company denying the request, a copy of which is attached as Exhibit 5 to this amended Schedule 13D.  In response, the PL Capital Group sent a letter dated October 21, 2009 reiterating its demand, a copy of which is attached as Exhibit 6 to this amended


CUSIP No. 55977T109
 Page 15 of 21 Pages
 
Schedule 13D.  The Company again refused the demand in a letter dated October 28, 2009, a copy of which is attached as Exhibit 7 to this amended Schedule 13D.  In response, the PL Capital Group reiterated its demand and supplied additional information to the Company in a letter dated October 30, 2009, a copy of which is attached as Exhibit 8 to this amended Schedule 13D.  Then the Company agreed to comply generally with the demand in a letter dated November 6, 2009, a copy of which is attached as Exhibit 9 to this amended Schedule 13D.

On March 19, 2009, Messrs. Lashley and Palmer made a presentation to the Company’s board of directors on various strategic alternatives for the Company.  A copy of the presentation was attached as Exhibit 3 to Amendment No. 1 to the Schedule 13D.

Unless otherwise noted in this amended Schedule 13D, no member of the PL Capital Group has any plans or proposals, which relate to, or would result in, any of the matters referred to in paragraphs (b) through (j), inclusive of Item (4) of Schedule 13D.  Such individuals may, at any time and from time to time, review or reconsider their positions and formulate plans or proposals with respect thereto.  Members of the PL Capital Group may make further purchases of shares of Common Stock, although the PL Capital Group has no present intention of ever increasing PL Capital Group’s aggregate holdings above 9.999% of the Company’s outstanding Common Stock.  Members of the PL Capital Group may dispose of any or all the shares of Common Stock held by them.
 
Item 5.                    Interest in Securities of the Company

The percentages used in this amended Schedule 13D are calculated based upon the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock, 5,767,434, reported as the number of outstanding shares as of August 1, 2009, in the Company’s Form 10-Q filed August 14, 2009.

Members of the Board of Directors
Magyar Bancorp, Inc.
400 Somerset Street
New Brunswick, NJ  08901


Dear Members:

While reviewing Magyar Bank’s most recent call report for the period ended 9/30/09, we noted that Magyar Bank (the Bank) paid $511,000 in Directors’ fees for the nine month period ended 9/30/09 (line RIAD4136).  On an annualized basis, this equals $681,000.  It is our understanding based upon public disclosures that Directors of the Bank also earn additional fees as Directors of Magyar Bancorp, Inc. (Magyar).  We have also closely followed the disclosure of Director fees and benefits contained in the annual proxies filed each year since Magyar went public.

We believe that the Directors of Magyar and the Bank are excessively compensated, and the Board of Directors should take the actions outlined below to significantly reduce Director fees and benefits.

As CEO Elizabeth Hance will attest, when Magyar went public in 2006 PL Capital expressed concerns to her about the excessive level of board compensation and benefits.  Despite our concerns, at that time we decided to take a hands-off approach to Magyar’s corporate governance and strategic direction in order to give management and the Board time to prove themselves.  As you know, we also supported approval of Magyar’s 2006 Equity Incentive Plan, from which the Directors also received benefits.  After almost four years, we believe we have given the Board of Directors and Magyar more than enough time to demonstrate why the Directors deserve their extraordinary fees and benefits.

So where is Magyar after four years of this Board’s stewardship as a public company?  Magyar and the Bank face significant challenges, including operating losses due to credit problems.  While some of these challenges were unavoidable due to the external economic environment, many are due to strategic decisions made by the Board of Directors and implemented by management (notably, out of local market construction lending).  Magyar’s stock is down over 60% in the past year and no dividends have been paid to shareholders.

We have also reviewed Directors’ fees and benefits paid to directors of numerous similarly sized peer banks and holding companies in New Jersey, New York and Pennsylvania.  What we found confirmed our

 
 

 

view that individual Magyar Directors earn significantly more than is justified or appropriate.  In particular, the total compensation of the Chairman of the Board is notably out of line with Magyar’s peers.

We request that the Board take immediate action to:

 
·
Cut its fees and benefits by 50% or more, at least until such time as the financial condition and operating results of the Bank and Magyar stabilize and then recover (if and when it is time to reconsider restoring some or all of the cuts, we recommend that Magyar retain a qualified compensation consultant to examine the fees and benefits paid to Directors);

 
·
Reduce the generous and, in our opinion, inappropriate 10% interest credit earned by Directors on their deferred compensation in the Directors Deferred Compensation Plan.  In today’s low interest rate environment, we believe that this interest rate is excessive, and is a benefit that should not be supported when the stockholders of Magyar are suffering significant losses and receiving no dividends on their investment; and

 
·
Freeze the Directors Supplemental Retirement Income Plan so that no additional future benefits are accrued.  We believe this plan is overly generous in normal times and inappropriate in the current circumstances.  In particular, we believe the annual retirement benefit of 50% or more of Director fees and benefits for life is excessive.

 
Shareholders of Magyar have suffered significant losses and the Board of Directors should embrace our request for shared sacrifice, at least until the Bank and Magyar are solidly profitable.  We believe that by adopting these actions, the Board will send a message to employees, management, shareholders and regulators that as the leaders of Magyar nothing is more important to them than restoring the health of the Bank and Magyar, and that their personal interests as Directors are subordinate to the interests of Magyar, its stockholders and the safety and soundness of the Bank.

As you know, PL Capital is strongly considering a public campaign in connection with the election of Directors at the upcoming Annual Meeting to inform shareholders of our concerns about Magyar.  The Board’s decision on adopting a more appropriate level of Directors’ fees and benefits will be an important factor for shareholders to consider.

Sincerely,


 
/s/ Richard Lashley /s/ John Palmer

Phillip M. Goldberg, Esq.
Foley & Lardner LLP
32lNorth Clark Street
Chicago, Illinois 60610

Dear Mr. Goldberg:

As counsel to Magyar Bancorp, Inc. (the “Company”), I am responding on its behalf to the letter dated October 7, 2009, from Financial Edge Fund, LP (“Financial Edge”), a purported stockholder of the Company, which the Company received on October 8, 2009 (the “Demand”), requesting that the Company provide Financial Edge with certain books and records pursuant to Section 220 of the Delaware General Corporation Law (“Section 220”). In accordance with the request of Financial Edge set forth in the Demand, this response is being directed to you.

We have reviewed the Demand on behalf of the Company and believe the Demand does not comply with the requirements of Section 220. Accordingly, the Company is not required to provide to Financial Edge any of the requested materials.

Sincerely,
 
/s/ John J. Gorman

Re: 
Access to Stockholder List and Demand to Inspect Stockholder Records
Pursuant to Section 220 of the Delaware General Corporation Law
 
Dear Mr. Gorman:

As counsel to the Financial Edge Fund, L.P. (the “Stockholder”), I am responding on its behalf to your letter dated October 16, 2009 responding to the Stockholder’s demand (the “Demand”) for an opportunity to inspect, and to make copies and extracts from, the records and documents of Magyar Bancorp, Inc. (the “Company”) identified in the Stockholder’s letter to the Company dated October 7, 2009.  The purpose of this letter is to reiterate the Demand with respect to the materials previously requested excluding Items 9 and 10 (the “Revised Demand Materials”).
 
As the Stockholder noted in the prior letter, the Stockholder made the Demand for the purpose of communicating with the Company’s stockholders, in compliance with applicable law, with respect to matters relating to their interests as stockholders, including, but not limited to, the election of Directors at the Company’s 2010 Annual Meeting of Stockholders.  It is well established that a stockholder states a “proper purpose” under Section 220 of the Delaware General Corporation Law when the stockholder seeks to obtain names and addresses of stockholders for a contemplated proxy solicitation.  See Kerkorian v. Western Air Lines, Inc., 253 A.2d 221 (Del. Ch.), aff’d, 254 A.2d 240 (Del. 1969); General Time Corp. v. Talley Indus., 240 A.2d 755 (Del. 1968); and E.L. Bruce Co. v. State ex rel. Gilbert, 144 A.2d 533 (Del. 1958).  The Stockholder’s contemplated solicitation of other stockholders to withhold their votes from the election of incumbent Directors at the Company’s 2010 Annual Meeting of Stockholders is consistent with the cited precedent.  Further, we note that the Revised Demand Materials directly relate to the Stockholder’s desire to communicate with other stockholders to solicit them to withhold their votes from the election of incumbent Directors at the Company’s 2010 Annual Meeting of Stockholders.  Therefore, the Stockholder has stated a “proper purpose” and requests that the Company promptly comply with the Demand.
 
The Stockholder again certifies to the Company that as of the date of this letter the Stockholder beneficially owns 161,561 shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Common Stock”).  Additionally, the Stockholder is as a member of the PL Capital Group, as noted in the PL Capital Group’s Schedule 13D filing, as amended, with the Securities and Exchange Commission, and, as of the date of this letter, the PL Capital Group beneficially owns 352,421 shares of the Common Stock, or 6.1% of the total shares outstanding, as measured by the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding as of August 1, 2009 as disclosed in the Company’s most recent Form 10-Q filed August 14, 2009.  See the Exhibit A

attached to the Stockholder’s prior letter for documentary evidence of the Stockholder’s ownership.  The Stockholder again certifies that such documentary evidence is a true and correct copy of what it purports to be.
 
The Stockholder expects the Company to either deliver copies of the requested materials to it or its agents or representatives or make the materials available during the Company’s usual business hours.  The Stockholder will forego the demand for inspection if the Company voluntarily furnishes to it or its agents or representatives all the information included in the Revised Demand Materials.
 
The Stockholder will bear the reasonable costs incurred by the Company (including those of its transfer agent(s)) in connection with the production of the Revised Demand Materials, including overnight delivery charges.  Please advise us of the total costs and we will provide you prompt payment.
 
The Stockholder makes this notification and demand to inspect, copy and make extracts of the Revised Demand Materials in good faith and for the “proper purpose” stated above.  As such, the Stockholder believes that failure to produce the Revised Demand Materials would be a derogation of the Company’s fiduciary obligations to fairly implement the corporate election process, and will result in needless expenses that the Company could avoid by complying with its fiduciary obligations.
 
Please advise us as promptly as practicable as to the time and place that the items requested above will be made available in accordance with this Demand.  Please also advise us immediately whether you voluntarily will supply the information requested by this Demand.  In addition, if the Company believes that this Demand is incomplete or otherwise deficient in any respect, please contact us immediately so that the Stockholder may promptly address any alleged deficiencies.
 
The Stockholder has already retained Delaware counsel to enforce its rights, and if you refuse to permit the inspection and copying demanded herein, or fail to respond to this Demand, within five business days from the date hereof, the Stockholder will conclude that this Demand has been refused and will take appropriate steps to secure its rights to examine and copy the Revised Demand Materials.
 
The Stockholder reserves the right to withdraw or modify this Demand at any time, and to make other demands of the Company whether pursuant to the Delaware General Corporation Law, other applicable law, or the Company’s articles of incorporation or bylaws.
 
 
Sincerely,
 
/s/ Phillip M. Goldberg

Phillip M. Goldberg, Esq.
Foley & Lardner LLP

Chicago, Illinois 60610

Dear Mr. Goldberg:

As counsel to Magyar Bancorp, Inc. (the “Company”), I am responding to your letter dated October 21, 2009 regarding the demand (the “Demand”) by Financial Edge Fund, LP (“Financial Edge”), a purported stockholder of the Company, that the Company provide Financial Edge with certain books and records pursuant to Section 220 of the Delaware General Corporation Law (“Section 220”).

Section 220 sets forth the procedure that a stockholder must follow to be entitled to inspect and copy a corporation’s books and records. Section 220 provides that if a stockholder is not a record owner of stock in a corporation, the demand must be accompanied by documentary evidence of beneficial ownership of stock, and must state that such documentary evidence is a true and correct copy of what it purports to be. Delaware case law is clear that the express requirements of Section 220 are applied strictly. See Mattes v. Checkers Drive-In Rests., Inc., 2000 WL 1800126 (Del. Ch. Nov. 15, 2000).

Financial Edge is not a record owner of stock in the Company. Financial Edge and you cite to a Schedule 13D filed by PL Capital Group as documentary evidence of Financial Edge’s beneficial ownership of common stock in the Company. We do not believe that the Schedule l3D is sufficient documentary evidence of beneficial ownership for purposes of Section 220, and in this regard we note that the Schedule 13D does not include any further documentary evidence of beneficial ownership, other than declarations contained therein, and that it in fact refers to Financial Edge having “shared” voting and dispositive power with respect to shares.

If Financial Edge submits a Section 220 demand that includes the required documentary evidence of beneficial ownership (e.g., a brokerage statement indicating Financial Edge’s beneficial ownership of Company shares), the Company will respond appropriately. However, we do not concede that the Company must provide any particular item listed in the Demand even if the defect in documentation discussed above is cured. I look forward to a prompt resolution of this matter.

Sincerely,
 
/s/ John J. Gorman

Re:
Access to Stockholder List and Demand to Inspect Stockholder Records
Pursuant to Section 220 of the Delaware General Corporation Law           
  
Dear Mr. Gorman:

The Financial Edge Fund, L.P. (the “Stockholder”) is in receipt of a copy of your letter dated October 28, 2009 responding to the Stockholder’s demand (the “Demand”) for an opportunity to inspect, and to make copies and extracts from, the records and documents of Magyar Bancorp, Inc. (the “Company”) identified in the Stockholder’s letter to the Company dated October 7, 2009.  The purpose of this letter is to reiterate the Demand with respect to the materials previously requested excluding Items 9 and 10 (the “Revised Demand Materials”).
 
The Stockholder notes your claim that it has not provided sufficient documentary evidence of beneficial ownership of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Common Stock”).  While the Stockholder disagrees with this assertion, the following enclosed documents will provide further evidence of the Stockholder’s beneficial ownership of the Common Stock:
 
1. A position listing from the Stockholders’ prime brokerage account at BNP Paribas Prime Brokerage Inc.  dated October 29, 2009, showing that the Stockholder held 163,661shares of Common Stock as of October 28, 2009, attached as part of Exhibit A; and
 
2. A letter of verification from the Stockholder’s broker, attached as part of Exhibit A.
 
The Stockholder affirms that the documentary evidence of ownership enclosed herewith is a true and correct copy of what it purports to be, and certifies to the Company that as of the date of this letter the Stockholder beneficially owns 163,661 shares of the Common Stock.  Additionally, the Stockholder is a member of the PL Capital Group, as noted in the PL Capital Group’s Schedule 13D/A filing dated October 9, 2009, as amended, with the Securities and Exchange Commission, and, as of the date of this letter, the PL Capital Group beneficially owns 355,721 shares of the Common Stock, or 6.2% of the total shares outstanding, as measured by the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding as of August 1, 2009 as disclosed in the Company’s most recent Form 10-Q filed August 14, 2009.
 
The Stockholder expects the Company to either deliver copies of the requested materials to it or its agents or representatives or make the materials available during the Company’s usual business hours.
 

 
-1-

 

The Stockholder will forego the demand for inspection if the Company voluntarily furnishes to it or its agents or representatives all the information included in the Revised Demand Materials.
 
The Stockholder will bear the reasonable costs incurred by the Company (including those of its transfer agent(s)) in connection with the production of the Revised Demand Materials, including overnight delivery charges.  Please advise PL Capital’s counsel, Phillip M. Goldberg of Foley & Lardner LLP, 321 North Clark Street, Chicago, Illinois 60610 (telephone number: 312-832-4549), of the total costs and we will provide you prompt payment.
 
The Stockholder makes this notification and demand to inspect, copy and make extracts of the Revised Demand Materials in good faith and for the “proper purpose” stated in its prior correspondence and the correspondence sent on its behalf by its legal counsel.  As such, the Stockholder believes that failure to produce the Revised Demand Materials would be a derogation of the Company’s fiduciary obligations to fairly implement the corporate election process, and will result in needless expenses that the Company could avoid by complying with its fiduciary obligations.
 
Please advise Mr. Goldberg as promptly as practicable as to the time and place that the items requested above will be made available in accordance with this Demand.  Please also advise us immediately whether you voluntarily will supply the information requested by this Demand.  In addition, if the Company believes that this Demand is incomplete or otherwise deficient in any respect, please contact us immediately so that the Stockholder may promptly address any alleged deficiencies.
 
The Stockholder has already retained Delaware counsel to enforce its rights, and if you refuse to permit the inspection and copying demanded herein, or fail to respond to this Demand, within five business days from the date hereof, the Stockholder will conclude that this Demand has been refused and will take appropriate steps to secure its rights to examine and copy the Revised Demand Materials.
 
The Stockholder reserves the right to withdraw or modify this Demand at any time, and to make other demands of the Company whether pursuant to the Delaware General Corporation Law, other applicable law, or the Company’s articles of incorporation or bylaws.
 
 
  Very truly yours,

Phillip M. Goldberg, Esq.

Dear Mr. Goldberg:

As counsel to Magyar Bancorp, Inc. (the “Company”), I am responding to the demand (the “Demand”) by Financial Edge Fund, LP (“Financial Edge”) that the Company provide Financial Edge with certain books and records pursuant to Section 220 of the Delaware General Corporation Law (“Section 220”). Your original Demand listed 10 categories/items of documentation requested. By letter dated October 21, you withdrew the Demand as to Items 9 and 10. Item 8 specifies that the information and records requested in Items 1-7 is as of the record date for the 2010 annual meeting of stockholders (“Annual Meeting”).

Set forth below is the Company’s response with respect to each category of documentation requested. Our numbering below corresponds to the numbering of the Items in your Demand.

 
1.
The Company will provide a complete list of stockholders as of October 7, 2009 and as of the record date for the Annual Meeting.

 
2.
The Company will provide the stockholder lists in either CD or DVD.

 
3.
The Company proposes to provide you with the daily transfer sheets from the record date for the Annual Meeting to the date of the Annual Meeting.

 
4.
The Company will provide the information enumerated in (a) as the record date for the annual meeting, as requested. The Company does not subscribe to “Weekly Security Position Listing Daily Closing Balances” and therefore the information is not available to the Company and will not be provided. As to the information specified in (c), which relates to the names and addresses of employees participating in the employee stock ownership plan (ESOP), the Company is not in a position to provide this information. The ESOP is a record owner of shares, is administered by an independent trustee, and as with Company communications, the trustee will transmit to participants any material that Financial Edge desires to have distributed to stockholders.

5.
The Company does not have a NOBO or COBO list. If the Company obtains a NOBO or COBO list, it will provide Financial Edge with a copy.

6.
We do not understand the need for or relevance of the stop transfer or stop lists requested, or if this information is available. At this time, the Company therefore does not intend to take any action to obtain or provide this information.

7.
The omnibus proxy and correspondent participant listings will be provided as of the record date for the Annual Meeting.

We expect to receive the October 7, 2009 stockholder list and deliver it overnight to you early next week. The cost for the list and overnight mailing is $89.50. We will inform you of the costs to produce the additional information that will be provided as of and following the record date for the Annual Meeting, and expect to receive your confirmation that such costs will be paid for by Financial Edge.

If you have any questions regarding the foregoing, please contact the undersigned.

Sincerely,
