ITEM 1.01.

Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On December 29, 2005, the Board of Directors of OptimumBank Holdings, Inc., (the “Company”) approved an immediate acceleration of the vesting for all unvested stock options previously awarded to employees, officers and directors. The accelerated options were issued under the previously approved Company Stock Option Plan. The Board of Directors made the decision to immediately vest these options based primarily on the issuance of SFAS No. 123R, “Share-based payment”. Absent the acceleration of these options, upon adoption of SFAS No. 123R on January 1, 2006, the Company would have been required to recognize approximately $210,000 in pre-tax compensation expense from these options over their remaining vesting terms (through June 2009), including approximately $106,000 in pre-tax compensation expense for 2006. By vesting all previously unvested options in December 2005, the stock-based compensation expense under SFAS No. 123R will only be reflected in the Company’s footnote disclosures for 2005.
