Item 3.01 Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing.
 
On June 6, 2011, Enterprise Financial Services Corp (the “Company”) received a letter (the “Letter”) from the Listing Qualifications Office of the Nasdaq Stock Market (“Nasdaq”) indicating that the Company had been temporarily out of compliance with certain requirements of the Nasdaq listing rules. The Letter states that the participation by the Company’s directors and officers in the registered public offering of the Company’s common stock, which was priced on May 18, 2011, was not in compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5635(c) because the directors and officers purchased stock at a price below the closing consolidated bid price of the Company’s stock on that date, even though such directors and officers purchased shares at the same price and on the same terms as all other investors in the offering.
 
However, the Letter also acknowledged that all of the participating directors and officers had, prior to the date of the Letter, refunded to the Company the amount of the discount between the offering price and the closing consolidated bid price on May 18. Accordingly, the Letter states that Nasdaq has determined that the Company has regained compliance with Listing Rule 5635(c)and this matter is now closed.
