EXPLANATORY NOTE
In its Form 8-K filed on June 2, 2014, First Mariner Bancorp (the “Company”) incorrectly reported that it anticipated that on or after June 24, 2014 there would no longer be a trading market for its common stock, par value $.05 per share (the “Common Stock”). The Company is filing this amended Form 8-K to report that on or after June 24, 2014 the quotation for the Common Stock will be moved to the OTC Pink marketplace.
Item 8.01. Other Events.
On May 22, 2014, the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority notified the Company that if the Company has not filed its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2014 (the “Form 10-Q”) by June 23, 2014, its Common Stock will not be eligible for quotation on the OTC Bulletin Board (the “OTCBB”). Because it does not anticipate filing its Form 10-Q, the Company anticipates that its Common Stock will be removed the OTCBB on or after June 24, 3014, at which point the Company anticipates that the quotation for the Company’s stock will be moved to the OTC Pink marketplace.

Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the registrant has duly caused this report to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned hereunto duly authorized.
