Item 8.01 Other Events

Roma Financial Corporation (the “Registrant”), the holding company for Roma Bank, announced today that it has been a victim of a check kiting scheme by one of its commercial deposit and loan customers. The Registrant estimates that its after-tax loss related to this check kiting scheme will be approximately $1.1 million ($.04 per basic and diluted share) which it will recognize during the second quarter of 2013. Roma Bank is aggressively pursuing collection of the loss from the customer and with the appropriate authorities; however, the timing and potential results of these efforts are uncertain.
