Section 8-Other Events

 

Item 8.01 Other Events.

 

As previously disclosed, consummation of the merger (the “Merger”) between Old Line and Bay Bancorp, Inc. (“BYBK”) is subject to certain closing conditions, including the receipt of required regulatory and stockholder approvals. We previously reported that the required regulatory approvals have been received. We have also been informed by Bancorp, Inc. that at its special meeting of stockholders held on March 28, 2018, its stockholders approved the Merger. Accordingly, all required regulatory and stockholder approvals with respect to the Merger have now been received.

 

Also, as previously announced, on December 14, 2017, Adam Franchi, both individually and on behalf of a putative class of BYBK’s stockholders, filed a complaint in the United States District Court for the District of Maryland against BYBK and its directors as well as Old Line, seeking to enjoin the Merger, based primarily on allegations that the version of the joint proxy statement/prospectus that was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on November 22, 2017, omitted certain material information in violation of Section 14(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Rule 14a-9 promulgated thereunder. The plaintiff has agreed to dismiss all of his claims made in the complaint, with prejudice as to himself and without prejudice to any other member of the putative class of stockholders. On March 28, 2018, the parties to this litigation entered into a Stipulation and Proposed Order of Dismissal (the “Stipulation”) that, if approved by the Court, will resolve all issues raised in the litigation except for a claim for attorneys’ fees and expenses. Pursuant to the Stipulation, the Court would retain jurisdiction of the litigation solely for the purpose of ruling on a potential application for fees and expenses by the plaintiff’s counsel if the parties do not reach an agreement on the payment of any such fees and expenses.

 

Because the Stipulation is still subject to approval by the Court, there can be no assurance that the litigation will ultimately be dismissed or that the terms of any such dismissal will be the same as those currently contemplated.
