On November 17, 2008, Temecula Valley Bancorp Inc. (the "Company") filed a Definitive Proxy Statement ("Proxy Statement") on Schedule 14A with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The Proxy Statement was filed and distributed in order to solicit the written consent of the Company's holders of common stock of record on November 14, 2008 to amend the Company's Articles of Incorporation (the "Amendment") to authorize the issuance of up to five million shares of preferred stock. The consent of holders of at least a majority of the outstanding shares of the Company's common stock was required to approve the Amendment. As of February 13, 2009, the Company had not received a sufficient number of written consents indicating approval of the Amendment. Due to the cumbersome mechanics of extending the date in order to allow additional voting time for the Company's shareholders, it is anticipated that this matter will be addressed at the next meeting of the Company's shareholders. The information in this report is being furnished, not filed, pursuant to Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Accordingly, the information in this report and Exhibit 99.1 of this report will not be incorporated by reference into any of our filings, unless specifically identified therein as being incorporated therein by reference. SIGNATURE 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.
