Item 8.01.  Other Events

 

On May 2, 2012, Skagit State Bancorp, Inc. (the “Company”) filed a Form 15 with the Securities and Exchange Commission to terminate registration under Section 12(g) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (“Exchange Act”).

 

As a result of the JOBS Act which was enacted on April 5, 2012, the Company had less than 2,000 shareholders and as such, was eligible to deregister its shares and therefore be exempt from the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act.  Such deregistration will become effective 90 days from filing the Form 15.
