Quaint Oak Bancorp, Inc. Announces Results of Annual Meeting of Shareholders and Stock Purchases to Fund Plan

SOUTHAMPTON, Pa.--(Business Wire)--
Quaint Oak Bancorp, Inc. (OTC Bulletin Board: QNTO) (the
"Company"), the holding company for Quaint Oak Bank, today announced
it had received approval of the four proposals presented to
shareholders at the annual meeting held on Wednesday, May 14, 2008.

   At the annual meeting, shareholders approved the election of three
directors for three-year terms, adoption of the 2008 Stock Option
Plan, adoption of the 2008 Recognition and Retention Plan and
ratification of independent registered public accountants.

   Quaint Oak Bank completed its mutual to stock conversion on July
3, 2007 and sold 1,388,625 shares of common stock. At a meeting held
on May 14, 2008, the Company's Compensation Committee granted stock
options and awarded shares pursuant to the Stock Option Plan and
Recognition and Retention Plan following shareholder approval to
eligible employees and non-employee directors. The Compensation
Committee determined to award the stock options at an exercise price
of $10.00 per share, the initial offering price per share in the
conversion, but higher than the closing price of the Company's common
stock on May 14, 2008.

   "I am pleased by the support of our shareholders in voting in
favor of our four proposals," said Robert T. Strong, President and
Chief Executive Officer. Mr. Strong continued, "We are gratified by
this showing of shareholder support for our stock benefit plans during
the first year following our mutual to stock conversion and the
confidence they have shown in the management of the Company. I believe
that the Compensation Committee's decision to grant the stock options
at an exercise price of $10.00 per share demonstrates our commitment
to growing long-term shareholder value."

   In order to fund the 2008 Recognition and Retention Plan, the
related trust will purchase 55,545 shares of Quaint Oak Bancorp's
common stock in the open market. Purchases will be made from time to
time at the discretion of management.
