Item 3. Bankruptcy or Receivership
Hamilton Bancorp Inc.’s (the “Company”) subsidiary, Hamilton Bank, N.A. (the “Bank”), was placed into receivership on Friday, January 11, 2002 by the Office of Comptroller of the Currency (the “OCC”). The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (the “FDIC”) has been designated as the receiver. Hamilton Bank, N.A. was the Company’s sole operating asset. As a result of the seizure of the Bank, the Company has limited tangible assets. As the owner of 99.8% of the Bank, the Company will be entitled to any net recoveries following liquidation of the Bank by the FDIC. At this time, the Company is unable to provide any assurance that any recovery will be realized or the timing of any such recovery.
As a result of the seizure of the Bank, the Company does not fully satisfy the requirements for continued listing on the Nasdaq National Market. As a result, the Company requested delisting of its common stock from the Nasdaq National Market. Also, as a result of these actions, the trust preferred shares issued by Hamilton Capital Trust I (Nasdaq:HABKP) are also being delisted.
