Item 8.01Other Events.

 

On December 15, 2015, the Board of Directors of Meetinghouse Bancorp, Inc. (the “Company”) authorized management of the Company to take the requisite action to terminate the registration of the Company’s common stock under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. The Company is the holding company for Meetinghouse Bank (the “Bank”).

 

The Company intends to file a Form 15 (Certification and Notice of Termination from Registration) with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on or about December 28, 2015. Upon the filing of the Form 15, the Company’s obligation to file periodic reports with the SEC, including Forms 10-K, 10-Q and 8-K, will be suspended immediately and will terminate when deregistration becomes effective 90 days after the Form 15 is filed.

 

Once deregistration becomes effective, the Company will no longer be required to file reports and forms with the SEC, including Forms 10-K, Forms 10-Q and Forms 8-K. The Bank will continue to report detailed quarterly financial results to the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation via its Call Reports, which are publicly available on the FDIC’s website at www.fdic.gov. The Company anticipates that its common stock will continue to be quoted on the OTC Pink Market to the extent market makers continue to make a market in its shares. No guarantee, however, can be made that a trading market in the Company’s common stock in any over-the-counter market will be maintained.
