Item 7.01   Regulation FD Disclosure.

Michael D. Cahill, the President and Chief Executive Officer of Tower Financial Corporation (“Tower”), and Richard R. Sawyer, Tower’s Chief Financial Officer, are presenting at the 2012 INVESTIndiana Equity Conference in Indianapolis on Thursday, September 13, 2012. Tower’s presentation materials are attached as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.
 
 
The information disclosed under this Item 7.01, including Exhibit 99.1 hereto, is being furnished and shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, and shall not be deemed incorporated by reference into any filing made under the Securities Act of 1933, except as expressly set forth by specific reference in such filing.
 
The presentation materials may contain forward-looking statements regarding the financial performance, business prospects, growth and operating strategies of Tower. For these statements, Tower claims the protections of the safe harbor for forward-looking statements contained in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Statements in the presentation materials should be considered in conjunction with the other information available about Tower, including the information in the filings we make with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Forward-looking statements provide current expectations or forecasts of future events and are not guarantees of future performance. The forward-looking statements are based on management’s expectations and are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties. We have tried, wherever possible, to identify such statements by using words such as “anticipate,” “estimate,” “project,” “intend,” “plan,” “believe,” “will” and similar expressions in connection with any discussion of future operating or financial performance. Although management believes that the expectations reflected in such forward-looking statements are reasonable, actual results may differ materially from those expressed or implied in such statements. Risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially include risk factors relating to the banking industry and the other factors detailed from time to time in Tower’s reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including those described in “Item 1A Risk Factors” of Part I of Tower’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2011. Undue reliance should not be placed on the forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date hereof. Tower does not undertake, and specifically disclaims any obligation, to publicly release the result of any revisions that may be made to update any forward-looking statement to reflect the events or circumstances after the date on which the forward-looking statement is made, or reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events, except to the extent required by law.
