Item 3.01 Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing.

On March 12, 2012, the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of EOS Preferred Corporation (the “Corporation”) unanimously approved, subject to obtaining the approval or non-objection of the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (“OCC”) to the extent required by law or regulation or policy of the OCC, the voluntary complete liquidation and dissolution of the Corporation as being advisable and in the best interests of the Corporation’s stockholders and adopted a Plan of Liquidation and Dissolution of the Corporation (the “Plan”). On March 13, 2012, Aurora Bank FSB (“Aurora Bank”), in its capacity as the holder of all of the outstanding common stock of the Corporation, approved the liquidation and dissolution of the Corporation and the Plan. The Corporation intends to begin the liquidation and winding up immediately and the Corporation will be completely dissolved at a date to be determined by the Board.

In connection with the Corporation’s anticipated liquidation, the Board approved the voluntarily delisting of the Corporation’s 8.50% Non-Cumulative Exchangeable Preferred Stock, Series D (“Series D Preferred Stock) from The NASDAQ Stock Market. The Corporation intends to declare one or more liquidating distributions in cash to the holders of shares of Series D Preferred Stock representing the full liquidation preference on the Series D Preferred Stock of $25.00 per share, plus any accrued but unpaid dividends thereon from January 1, 2012, the beginning of the dividend period in which the liquidation occurs, to the date of liquidation. The delisting of the Series D Preferred Stock is expected to occur concurrently with payment of the liquidating distribution to the holders of shares of Series D Preferred Stock.

The Corporation further intends to declare one or more liquidating distributions in cash to the holders of shares of its 8% Cumulative Non-convertible Preferred Stock, Series B (“Series B Preferred Stock”) representing the full liquidation amount of $1,000 per share plus any accumulated and unpaid dividends thereon. The Corporation intends to mail a separate notice of the anticipated liquidation to each holder of shares of Series D Preferred Stock and Series B Preferred Stock with additional details. After the distributions to the holders of the Series D Preferred Stock and Series B Preferred Stock have been made, the remaining net assets of the Corporation, if any, will be distributed to Aurora Bank as the sole common shareholder of the Corporation.
