------------------------------------------
On December 30, 2005, the Board of Directors of BCB Bancorp, Inc. (the
"Company") amended the Company's 2002 Stock Option Plan and 2003 Stock Option
Plan (the "Plans") to eliminate "Limited Rights" from the Plans and any other
feature that grants an option holder the right to receive a cash settlement of
an option in circumstances that are not within the sole discretion of the
Company. The Board determined to adopt these amendments in response to a recent
interpretation of FAS 123(R) that would require reclassification as a
"liability" and subsequent mark-to-market accounting, for any option or other
award the settlement of which, in cash, is not in the sole discretion of the
issuer of the option. Pursuant to Instruction 2 of Item 601(b)(10) of Regulation
S-K, the amendments to the Plans will be filed as exhibits to the Company's
Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Item 9.01. Financial Statements and Exhibits.
