Explanatory Note

ARCA biopharma, Inc. (“ARCA”) is filing this Form 8-K/A as an amendment to the Current Report on Form 8-K filed by ARCA with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on December 22, 2011 (the “Original Filing”). The Original Filing reported, among other things, that ARCA agreed to issue warrants (the “Warrants”) to purchase up to 1,250,000 shares of its common stock in connection with a private placement of its common stock and warrants. The purpose of this amendment to the Original Filing is to correct a typographical error that was contained in Item 1.01 of the Original Filing with respect to the exercise price of the Warrants. The Original Report incorrectly reported the exercise price of the Warrants is $1.435 per share. The actual exercise price of the Warrants is $1.485 per share. The other disclosures made in the Original Report are unchanged.
