Item 5.02
Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.

(e) On January 25, 2018, Standard AVB Financial Corp. (the "Company") and Standard Bank, PaSB (the "Bank") entered into new employment agreements (the "Employment Agreements") with Timothy K. Zimmerman, Chief Executive Officer of the Company and Bank, Andrew W. Hasley, President of the Company and Bank, and Susan A. Parente, Chief Financial Officer of the Company and Bank.  The Employment Agreements are effective as of January 25, 2018 and replace the executives' prior employment agreements.
The Employment Agreements generally contain the same terms except for the employment positions and base salaries.  The Employment Agreements provide for a three-year term subject to daily renewal.  Under the Employment Agreements, the current annual base salary for Mr. Zimmerman, Mr. Hasley and Ms. Parente, respectively, is $350,000, $290,000 and $192,000, respectively.  Base salary will be reviewed at least annually to determine whether any adjustment is appropriate.
Under the Employment Agreements, if the Company or the Bank terminates the executive's employment for "cause," as such term is defined in the Employment Agreements, the executive will not receive any compensation or benefits after the termination date.  If the Company or the Bank terminates the executive's employment without cause or if the executive terminates employment for "good reason," as such term is defined in the Employment Agreements, the Company or the Bank will pay the executive a lump sum payment in an amount equal to two times the executive's highest annual rate of base salary paid during the term of the Employment Agreement plus two times the average of the bonuses earned in the two fiscal years immediately preceding the year of such termination.  In addition, the Bank will provide continued insurance coverage for up to eighteen months.
If the executive's employment is terminated during the term of the Employment Agreements following a "change in control," as such term is defined in the Employment Agreements, or if the executive voluntarily terminates employment during the term of the Employment Agreements for "good reason" following a change in control, the executive will receive a lump sum payment in an amount equal to three times the executive's highest annual rate of base salary paid during the term of the Employment Agreement plus three times the average of the bonuses earned in the two fiscal years immediately preceding the year of such termination.  In addition, the Bank will provide continued insurance coverage for eighteen months.
The Employment Agreements contain one year non-competition and one year non-solicitation restrictions following termination of the executive's employment under certain circumstances.
The foregoing description of the Employment Agreements does not purport to be complete and it is qualified in its entirety by reference to copies of the Employment Agreements that are included as Exhibits 10.1, 10.2 and 10.3 to this Current Report and incorporated by reference into this Item 5.02.
