Item 3.01 Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing.

On August 18, 2011, Anchor BanCorp Wisconsin Inc. (the “Company”) received a letter from The Nasdaq Stock Market (“Nasdaq”) stating that for the last 30 consecutive business days, the Company’s market value of publicly held shares was below the minimum $15,000,000 requirement for continued inclusion on The Nasdaq Global Market under Listing Rule 5450(b)(3)(C) (the “Rule”). This notification has no immediate effect on the listing of the Company’s common stock.

In accordance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(D), the Company has 180 calendar days, or until February 14, 2012, to regain compliance with the Rule. The Company will regain compliance if, at any time before February 14, 2012, the Company’s market value of publicly held shares is $15,000,000 or more for a minimum of 10 consecutive business days.

If the Company does not regain compliance with the Rule by February 14, 2012, Nasdaq will provide the Company with written notification that the Company’s common stock will be delisted from The Nasdaq Global Market. At that time, the Company may appeal the delisting determination to a Nasdaq Listings Qualifications Panel (a “Panel”). In that event, the Company would likely request a hearing before a Panel, which would automatically stay the delisting of the Company’s common stock pending the issuance of the Panel’s decision after the hearing. The Company plans to exercise diligent efforts to maintain the listing of its common stock on The Nasdaq Global Market, but there can be no assurance that it will be successful in doing so.
