Item 8.01
|
Other Events.
|
On February 5, 2014, MBL Bank, the wholly-owned subsidiary of Minden Bancorp, Inc. (the “Company”), converted to a Louisiana-chartered commercial bank from a Louisiana-chartered building and loan association. Such conversion was approved by the Louisiana Office of Financial Institutions. As a result of such conversion, the Company has become a bank holding company rather than remaining as a savings and loan holding company. The change to a bank holding company was approved by Federal Reserve Bank of Dallas under delegated authority. As a bank holding company with less than 1,200 shareholders of record, the Company is eligible to deregister its common stock, $0.01 par value per share (the “Common Stock”), under Section 12(g) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”). The Company intends to file a Form 15 with the Securities and Exchange Commission to suspend its duty to file reports under Section 13 and 15(d) of the Exchange Act and to deregister the Common Stock under Section 12 of the Exchange Act on February 7, 2014.
A copy of the press release, dated February 6, 2014 announcing the Company’s intention to deregister the shares of Common Stock, is included as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.
