Item 8.01                      Other Events.

On October 9, 2013, Prudential Bancorp, Inc., a Pennsylvania corporation (“Prudential Bancorp” or the “Company”), completed the “second-step” conversion of Prudential Savings Bank (the “Bank”) from the mutual holding company structure to the stock holding company structure (the “Conversion”) pursuant to a Plan of Conversion and Reorganization, as amended (the “Plan”).  Upon completion of the Conversion, Prudential Bancorp became the holding company for the Bank and the owner of all of the issued and outstanding shares of the Bank’s common stock.  In connection with the Conversion, 7,141,602 shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of Prudential Bancorp (“Common Stock”) were sold in a subscription offering to certain depositors of the Bank for $10.00 per share, or $71.4 million in the aggregate (the “Offering”), and 2,403,398 shares of Common Stock of Prudential Bancorp, before adjustment for fractional shares, were issued in exchange for the outstanding shares of common stock of the former mid-tier holding company for the Bank, Prudential Bancorp, Inc. of Pennsylvania (the “Mid-Tier Holding Company”), held by the “public” shareholders of the Mid-Tier Holding Company (all shareholders except the Prudential Mutual Holding Company).  Each share of common stock of the Mid-Tier Holding Company was converted into the right to receive 0.9442 shares of Common Stock of Prudential Bancorp in the Conversion.

The issuance of the Common Stock of Prudential Bancorp in the Offering and the Conversion was registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, pursuant to a registration statement on Form S-1 (File No. 333-189321) (the “Registration Statement”) filed by Prudential Bancorp with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on June 14, 2013, as amended, and declared effective by the SEC on August 12, 2013.

The Common Stock of Prudential Bancorp is deemed registered under Section 12(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), as the successor to the Mid-Tier Holding Company pursuant to subsection (a) of  Rule 12g-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act.  The Common Stock of Prudential Bancorp will be listed on the Global Market of The NASDAQ Stock Market LLC commencing on October 10, 2013. The trading symbol for the Common Stock of Prudential Bancorp will be “PBIP”, the same as was used for its predecessor, the Mid-Tier Holding Company.  The description of the Common Stock of Prudential Bancorp set forth under the heading “Description of Our Capital Stock” in the Prospectus included in the Registration Statement is incorporated herein by reference.

For additional information, reference is made to the press release of Prudential Bancorp, dated October 9, 2013, included as Exhibit 99.1 and incorporated herein by reference.
