as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may&nbsp;be
permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant
pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Registrant has been
advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such
indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and
is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification
against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses
incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant
in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by
such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities
being registered, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the
matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of
appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is
against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed
by the final adjudication of such issue.</p>

PART II
INFORMATION REQUIRED IN THE
REGISTRATION STATEMENT
Item 3. Incorporation of Documents by Reference.
WSB Holdings, Inc. (the "Registrant") hereby incorporates by
reference into this Registration Statement the following documents filed with
the Commission:
(1)
The
Prospectus that constitutes a part of its Registration Statement on Form S-4,
as amended (File No. 333-146877);
(2)
The
description of the Registrant's Common Stock incorporated by reference in the Current
Report on Form 8-K12G3 (File No. 000-53003), filed under Section 12
of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), and
all amendments or reports filed for the purpose of updating such description.
In addition, all documents and reports subsequently
filed by the Registrant pursuant to Sections 13(a), 13(c), 14 and 15(d) of
the Exchange Act, prior to the filing of a post-effective amendment which
indicates that all securities offered have been sold or which deregisters all
securities remaining unsold, shall be deemed to be incorporated by reference in
this registration statement and to be part hereof from the date of filing
of such documents or reports. Any statement contained in a document
incorporated or deemed to be incorporated by reference herein shall be deemed
to be modified or superseded for purposes of this registration statement to the
extent that a statement contained herein or in any other subsequently filed

Item 4. Description of Securities.

Item 5.
Interests
of Named Experts and Counsel.
Not applicable.
Item 6.
Indemnification
of Officers and Directors.
Reference
is made to the provisions of Article 6 of the Registrant's Bylaws.
The
Registrant is a Delaware corporation subject to the applicable indemnification
provisions of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (the "Delaware
Corporation Law"). Section 145 of the Delaware Corporation Law provides
for the indemnification, under certain circumstances, of persons who are or
were directors, officers, employees or agents of the Registrant, or are or were
serving at the request of the Registrant in such a capacity with another
business organization or entity, against expenses, judgments, fines and amounts
paid in settlement in actions, suits or proceedings, whether civil, criminal,
administrative, or investigative, brought or threatened against or involving
such persons because of such person's service in any such capacity. In the case
of actions brought by or in the right of the Registrant. Section 145
provides for indemnification only of expenses, and only upon a determination by
the Court of Chancery or the court in which such action or suit was brought
that, in view of all the circumstances of the case, such person is fairly and
reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses.
The
foregoing indemnity and insurance provisions have the effect of reducing
directors' and officers' exposure to personal liability for actions taken in
connection with their respective positions.
Insofar
as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be
permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the Registrant
pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Registrant has been
advised that in the opinion of the Commission such indemnification is against
public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore,
unenforceable.
Item 7.
Exemption
from Registration Claimed.
Not applicable.
Item 8.
Exhibits.
The exhibits to this Form S-8 are listed on the exhibit index,
which appears elsewhere herein and is incorporated herein by reference.
Item 9.
Undertakings.
(a)
The
undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes:
(1)
To
file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a
post-effective amendment to this registration statement:
(i)
To
include any prospectus required by section 10(a)(3) of the Securities
Act;
(ii)
To
reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date
of the registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment
thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental
change in the information set forth in the registration statement.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities
offered (if the total dollar value
3
of securities offered would not exceed that which was
registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum
offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with
the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the
changes in volume and price represent no more than 20 percent change in the
maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the "Calculation of Registration
Fee" table in the effective registration statement.
(iii)
To include any material
information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed
in the registration statement or any material change to such information in the
registration statement;
provided, however,
that paragraphs (a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii) of this section do not
apply if the registration statement is on Form S-8, and the information
required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is
contained in reports filed with or furnished to the Commission by the
Registrant pursuant to section 13 or section 15(d) of the
Exchange Act that are incorporated by reference in the registration statement.
(2)
That,
for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each
such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration
statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such
securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering
thereof.
(3)
To
remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the
securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the
offering.
(b)
The
undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any
liability under the Securities Act, each filing of the Registrant's annual
report pursuant to section 13(a) or section 15(d) of the
Exchange Act (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan's
annual report pursuant to section 15(d) of the Exchange Act) that is
incorporated by reference in the registration statement shall be deemed to be a
new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the
offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona
fide offering thereof.
(c)
Insofar
as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be
permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant
pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Registrant has been
advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such
indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and
is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification
against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses
incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant
in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by
such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities
being registered, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the
matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of
appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is
against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed
by the final adjudication of such issue.
