Polonia Bancorp, Inc.

Announces Intention to Voluntarily Withdraw from Listing on the NASDAQ Stock Market

Huntingdon Valley, Pennsylvania -– December 17, 2015. Polonia Bancorp, Inc. (the “Company”) (NASDAQ Capital Market: PBCP) announced today the voluntary withdrawal of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.01 per share, from listing on the NASDAQ Capital Market (“NASDAQ”).

On December 16, 2015, the Company notified The NASDAQ Stock Market LLC of its intention to voluntarily withdraw the Company’s common stock, par value $0.01 per share, from listing on NASDAQ and to file a Notification of Removal from Listing and/or Registration under Section 12(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 on Form 25 with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on or after December 28, 2015. The Company anticipates that the last day of trading for its common stock on NASDAQ will be Monday, December 28, 2015, and its common stock will be quoted beginning Tuesday, December 29, 2015 on the OTC Bulletin Board. There can be no assurance, however, that a trading market in the Company’s common stock through any over-the-counter market will be maintained, or as to the prices that may be obtained in any such market.

The Company has determined to withdraw from listing after concluding that the costs of continued listing, including the costs associated with regulatory compliance, outweighed the current benefits of being listed on NASDAQ. The Company’s shares are not actively traded and the Board of Directors believes that the expense reductions due to the withdrawal from listing will benefit the Company and its stockholders and maximize the long-term value of the Company.

The Company will continue to be subject to SEC reporting requirements.
