  ITEM 5.02
  DEPARTURE OF DIRECTORS OR CERTAIN OFFICERS; ELECTION OF DIRECTORS; APPOINTMENT OF CERTAIN OFFICERS; COMPENSATORY ARRANGEMENTS OF CERTAIN OFFICERS
 
On October 30, 2013, Sound Financial Bancorp, Inc. (the “Company”) and its wholly owned subsidiary, Sound Community Bank (the “Bank”), entered into a change of control agreement with Matthew P. Deines, Executive Vice President, Chief Financial Officer and Corporate Secretary of the Company and the Bank, and Matthew F. Moran, Executive Vice President and Chief Credit Officer of the Bank.  The change of control agreements remain in effect until canceled by either party, upon at least 12 months prior written notice to the other party.  Under the agreements, each of the executives is entitled to a change of control payment from the Company if he is involuntary terminated within six months preceding or 12 months after a change of control (as defined in the agreement).  In such an event the executive is entitled to receive a cash payment equal to twenty-four (24) months of the executives then current salary.  The change of control agreements also provide that the Company shall maintain substantially the same health and other benefits available to the executive in effect immediately prior to such termination, at no additional cost to the executive, for a period ending at the earlier of (i) eighteen (18) months after the effective date of the executive’s termination or (ii) the date of the executive's full time employment by another employer that provides substantially the same health and other benefits.  The foregoing payments would be in lieu of any amounts owed to the executives under their existing employment agreements with the Bank.  

Further, in the event the executive is entitled to payment under the change of control agreement, then the non-competition provision contained in the executive’s employment agreement with the Bank shall be null and void and of no force and effect.

All of the above payments that would be made in connection with a change of control are subject to cut-back to the extent the payments would result in either the loss of a tax deduction to the Company or the imposition of a penalty tax on the executive.

The foregoing summary of the change of control agreements is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Change of Control Agreements, copies of which are attached as Exhibits 10.1 and 10.2 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated herein by reference.
