Clover Partners is pleased to announce that Institutional Shareholder Services Inc. ("ISS"), an influential and leading proxy advisory firm, has chosen to support both Mr. Base and Mr. Guerry for election to the Board of Directors of Hampden Bancorp (NASDAQ:HBNK). ISS also recommends shareholders vote FOR the shareholder proposal to maximize shareholder value.

In its report published on Oct. 22, 2013, ISS concurs with many of the concerns cited by Clover in its proxy statement and subsequent letter to shareholders.

Regarding Hampden's share price performance, ISS notes: "While the share price has performed well over the last year, arguably much of the run-up has been caused by speculation of a sale - given Clover Group's public disclosure and filing on Oct. 17, 2012, called for Hampden Bancorp to pursue strategic alternatives."

ISS further added: ".... the evidence indicates the dissident's claim of lackluster share price performance prior to shareholder pressure to purse sale seems to have merit."

ISS also found Hampden's financial performance lacking and noted: "On balance, the company's [Hampden] overall operating performance has been poor and its relative operating performance against the peer group, at best, mixed."

With respect to the shareholder proposal, ISS added: "The 2012 proposal received the majority support of shareholders; however, the degree of responsiveness by the board since that proposal was approved at the Nov. 6, 2012 annual meeting is unclear......there is a lack of convincing evidence and disclosure that the board acquiesced to shareholder's demands by meaningfully pursuing a review of strategic alternatives." ISS further added: "In response to the 2012 shareholder proposal, management stated that it did not hire and to date has not hired a banker. The board's response, in fact, was relatively swift: on Nov. 15, 2012, one week after the company disclosed the vote results, the company dismissed the shareholder proposal in a press release."

Regarding Clover nominees ISS commented: "The complementary skills and experience of dissident nominees Base and Guerry appear suited to address the company's performance and strategic decision-making issues which we believe are the fundamental issues facing the board."

Lastly, ISS concluded by noting: "In light of the company's operational and stock underperformance that only recently appeared to have improved after the dissident's campaign, as well as the board's failure to act on a shareholder proposal that received support from a majority of its shareholders, the dissidents have made a case that increased board oversight is warranted."
