RIGHTS CERTIFICATE

  HOWARD BANCORP, INC.  

 

  INCORPORATED UNDER THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF MARYLAND  
  SUBSCRIPTION RIGHTS CERTIFICATE  
  Evidencing Non-Transferable Rights to Purchase Shares of Common Stock  
  Subscription Price:  $7.30 Per Share

    CERTAIN DEFINITIONS
REGISTERED OWNER:    

 

The Company has distributed, at no charge, to each holder of record of the Company’s Common Stock, par value $.0.01 per share (“Common Stock”), (each a “Record Date Stockholder”), as of 5:00 Eastern Time on February 27, 2012 (the “Record Date”) one subscription right (“Subscription Right”) for each share of Common Stock held as of the close of business on the Record Date. Each Subscription Right entitles Record Date Stockholder to a basic subscription right (the “Basic Subscription Right”) and an over-subscription option (the “Over-Subscription Option”). The Basic Subscription Right gives each Record Date Stockholder the opportunity to purchase 0.4359 share of Company Common Stock at a subscription price of $7.30 per share. Fractional shares of Company Common Stock resulting from the exercise of the Basic Subscription Right will be eliminated by rounding down to the nearest whole share. In the event that a Record Date Stockholder purchases all of the shares of Company Common Stock available pursuant to the Record Date Stockholder’s Basic Subscription Right, the Record Date Stockholder may also choose to exercise an Over-Subscription Option to subscribe for a portion of any shares of Company Common Stock that are not purchased by other Record Date Stockholders through the exercise of their Basic Subscription Rights, subject to the Company’s acceptance of such subscription, reduction or pro ration, and other limitations as described in the Prospectus.
