This Amendment No. 4 to the Initial Schedule 13D (“Amended Schedule 13D”) relates to the common stock, par value $0.01 per share (“Common Stock”), of MSB Financial Corp., a Maryland corporation, as it reflects the impact of the second step conversion on the reporting parties.  The address of the principal executive offices of the Company is 1902 Long Hill Road, Millington, NJ 07946-0417.

Item 3. Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration

In aggregate, the PL Capital Group owns 440,590 shares of Common Stock of the Company acquired at an aggregate cost of $4,248,120.
 
The amount of funds expended by Financial Edge Fund to acquire the 197,152 shares of Common Stock it holds in its name was $1,958,050.  Such funds were provided from Financial Edge Fund’s available capital and from time to time by margin provided by BNP Paribas Prime Brokerage Inc. (“BNP Paribas”) or BTIG, LLC and Goldman Sachs Execution & Clearing, L.P. (“BTIG/Goldman Sachs”)  on such firms’ usual terms and conditions.
 
The amount of funds expended by Financial Edge Strategic to acquire the 93,213 shares of Common Stock it holds in its name was $952,035.  Such funds were provided from Financial Edge Strategic’s available capital and from time to time by margin provided by BNP Paribas and BTIG/Goldman Sachs on such firms’ usual terms and conditions.
 
The amount of funds expended by Focused Fund to acquire the 33,333 shares of Common Stock it holds in its name was $175,243.  Such funds were provided from Focused Fund’s available capital and from time to time by margin provided by BNP Paribas and BTIG/Goldman Sachs on such firms’ usual terms and conditions.

Any purchases of Common Stock made by members of the PL Capital Group using funds borrowed from BNP Paribas or BTIG/Goldman Sachs if any, were made in margin transactions on those firms’ usual terms and conditions.  All or part of the shares of Common Stock owned by members of the PL Capital Group may from time to time be pledged with one or more banking institutions or brokerage firms as collateral for loans made by such entities to members of the PL Capital Group.  Such loans, if any, generally bear interest at a rate based upon the federal funds rate plus a margin.  Such indebtedness, if any, may be refinanced with other banks or broker-dealers.  As of the date of this filing, no member of the PL Capital Group has margin or other loans outstanding secured by Common Stock, except the Financial Edge Fund.
 
Item 4. Purpose of Transaction

The PL Capital Group owns 7.4% of the Company, based upon the Company’s aggregate outstanding shares.  The PL Capital Group is filing this Amended Schedule 13D to report a decrease in aggregate ownership of greater than 1% since the filing of Amendment No. 3.
 
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 aggregate outstanding Common Stock.  Members of the PL Capital Group may dispose of any or all the shares of Common Stock held by them.
 
To the extent the actions described herein may be deemed to constitute a “control purpose” with respect to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the regulations thereunder, the PL Capital Group has such a purpose.  Except as 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.
