EXPLANATORY NOTE
This Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 (this “Amendment”) amends the Registration Statement on Form S-3, File No. 333-196568 (the “Registration Statement”), of Bay Bancorp, Inc. (the “Company”) that was declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission on June 13, 2014. This Amendment converts the Registration Statement to Form S-1 due to the Company’s loss, during the third quarter of 2016, of its eligibility to use Form S-3 pursuant to General Instruction I.A.3(b) thereof. In addition, this Amendment is being filed pursuant to the Company’s undertaking in Item 17(a)(3) of the Registration Statement to remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment all securities that remain unsold under the Registration Statement at the termination of the offering. The contractual obligations owed by the Company to the selling stockholders named in the Registration Statement, requiring that the unsold shares of common stock included therein be registered and that the Registration Statement remain effective, have either expired by their terms or been waived by such selling stockholders.
DEREGISTRATION OF SECURITIES
This Amendment is being filed pursuant to the undertakings in Item 17(a)(3) of the Registration Statement to remove from registration all shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $1.00 per share, that are the subject of the Registration Statement, as supplemented to date, and remain unsold as of the date hereof.
