Item 8.01          Other Events

United Bank & Trust (the "Bank"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of United Bancorp, Inc. (the "Company") previously entered into a Memorandum of Understanding with the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation ("FDIC") and the Michigan Office of Financial and Insurance Regulation ("OFIR") which documents an understanding among the Bank, FDIC and OFIR relating to, among other things, the declaration and payment of dividends by the Bank to the Company and the maintenance of specified capital levels. This Memorandum of Understanding was reported and described in the Company's Form 10-K Annual Report for its fiscal year ended December 31, 2011, the Company's Form 10-Q Quarterly Report for the quarterly period ended September 30, 2012, and other filings. This Form 8-K Current Report is being filed for the purpose of updating those descriptions.

On November 13, 2012, the Bank received a letter from FDIC and OFIR notifying the Bank that, as a result of an examination of the Bank as of June 30, 2012, FDIC and OFIR have terminated the Memorandum of Understanding with the Bank effective immediately.

The Board of Directors of the Bank continues to be committed to operation of the Bank in a safe and sound manner with a strong capital base. In connection with termination of the Memorandum of Understanding, the Board of Directors of the Bank has resolved that the Bank will maintain Tier 1 leverage ratio at a level equal to or exceeding 8.5% and that the Bank will not declare or pay any dividend to the Company unless the Board of Directors first determines that the Bank has produced stable earnings. The Bank's Tier 1 leverage ratio was 9.63% at September 30, 2012.

Forward-Looking Statements

This Form 8-K and the presentation materials contain forward-looking statements that are based on the Company's beliefs and intentions. These statements including, among other things, statements relating to future plans and operations of the Bank, maintenance of capital at specified levels and payment of dividends by the Bank to the Company. The Bank's ability to maintain capital at specified



levels and pay dividends without regulatory objection is not assured. Risk factors include but are not limited to the risk factors described in "Item 1A - Risk Factors" of the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011. These and other factors are representative of the risk factors that may emerge and could cause the difference between an ultimate actual outcome and a preceding forward-looking statement. The Company undertakes no obligation to update, clarify or revise forward-looking statements to reflect developments that occur or information obtained after the date of this report.
