Item 8.01 Other Events.

On August 24, 2011, the Nasdaq Hearings Panel notified Waccamaw Bankshares, Inc. (the “Company”), that it has determined to grant the Company’s request to remain listed on The Nasdaq Stock Market, subject to the condition that the Company file all of its delinquent filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission on or before September 27, 2011. The Company must be able to demonstrate compliance with all requirements for continued listing on The Nasdaq Stock Market. If the Company is unable to do so, its securities may be delisted from The Nasdaq Stock Market.

The Company appeared before the Nasdaq Hearings Panel on August 4, 2011, for the purpose of appealing the determination of the Nasdaq Listing Qualifications Department that the Company’s securities should be delisted from The Nasdaq Stock market. The Company is subject to delisting because it has not filed its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2010, or its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended June 30, 2011, with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

On August 29, 2011, the Company issued a press release regarding the decision of the Nasdaq Hearings Panel. A copy of the press release is attached as exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.
