Item 8.01. | Other Information |
On September 24, 2010 Atlantic Bancshares, Inc. (the Company) convened a special meeting of shareholders to vote on proposals to (1) amend the Companys articles of incorporation to provide for a reclassification of the shares of common stock held by holders of record of 1,000 or fewer shares of common stock into newly-designated shares of Series AAA Preferred Stock on a share-for-share basis (the Reclassification Proposal) and (2) to grant management of the Company the authority to adjourn the meeting to another time and date in order to allow the Board of Directors to solicit additional proxies or attendance at the meeting (the Adjournment Proposal).
Prior to convening the meeting, the Company became aware of new developments and, as a result, determined that it may need to provide additional information to its shareholders regarding the Reclassification Proposal. In light of this, and pursuant to the authority granted to management by the approval of the Adjournment Proposal, the meeting was adjourned to a later date so that the Board of Directors may continue to solicit proxies in light of the additional information that the Company plans to provide to its shareholders. The Company will provide notice of the date, time and location for the adjournment of the special meeting together with this additional information.
The authorization of management to adjourn, postpone or continue the special meeting to another time and date pursuant to the Adjournment Proposal was granted by the vote set forth below:
