Item 8.01. Other Events.
On May 22, 2014, the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority notified First Mariner Bancorp (the “Company”) that if the Company has not filed its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2014 (the “Form 10-Q”) by June 23, 2014, its common stock, par value $.05 per share (the “Common Stock”), will not be eligible for quotation on the OTC Bulletin Board (the “OTCBB”) and will be removed from listing. Because it does not anticipate filing its form 10-Q, the Company anticipates that its Common Stock will be removed from listing on the OTCBB on or after June 24, 3014, at which point the Company anticipates that there no longer will be a trading market for the Common Stock.
