Exhibit 99.1
Flagstar Receives Notification from NYSE about Non-Compliance with a Continued Listing Standard
TROY, Mich. (August 24, 2011) Flagstar Bancorp, Inc. (NYSE:FBC) (the Company) announced
that, on August 18, 2011, the New York Stock Exchange (the NYSE) provided notice to the Company
that it did not satisfy one of the NYSEs standards for continued listing applicable to the
Companys common stock. The NYSE noted specifically that the Company was below criteria for the
NYSEs price criteria for common stock because the average closing price of the Companys common
stock was less than $1.00 per share over a consecutive 30-trading-day period.
Under NYSE policy, in order to cure the deficiency for this continued listing standard, the
Companys common stock share price and the average share price over a consecutive 30-trading-day
period both must exceed $1.00 on February 18, 2012 (six months following receipt of the
non-compliance notice) or on the last trading day of any month prior to that date. The NYSE also
notified the Company that the NYSE has the right to reevaluate continued listing determinations
with respect to qualitative listing standards, including an abnormally low selling price at
sustained levels.
The Companys common stock remains listed on the NYSE under the symbol FBC, but the NYSE will
assign a .BC indicator to the symbol to denote that the Company is below the quantitative
continued listing standards. As required by the NYSEs rules, in order to maintain the listing, the
Company will notify the NYSE, within 10 business days of receipt of the non-compliance notice, of
its intent to cure this price deficiency.
