Item 3.01 Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing.

(a) On September 15, 2009, Flagstar Bancorp, Inc. (the “Company”) was notified by the New York Stock Exchange (the “NYSE”) that the Company did not satisfy one of the NYSE’s standards for continued listing applicable to its common stock. The NYSE noted specifically that the Company was “below criteria” for the NYSE’s price criteria for common stock because the average closing price of the Company’s common stock was less than $1.00 per share over a consecutive 30-trading-day period. The NYSE’s price criteria standard requires that any listed security trade at a minimum average closing share price of $1.00 during any consecutive 30-trading-day period.

Under the NYSE’s rules, in order to cure the deficiency for this continued listing standard, the Company’s common stock share price and the average share price over a consecutive 30-trading-day period both must exceed $1.00 within six months following receipt of the non-compliance notice. The Company has not yet determined the specific action or response to take in response to the NYSE’s notice. During the six-month period, the Company’s stock will remain listed on the NYSE.

Flagstar Receives Notification from NYSE about Non-Compliance with a Continued Listing Standard

TROY, Mich. (September 16, 2009) — Flagstar Bancorp, Inc. (NYSE:FBC) announced that, on September 15, 2009, the New York Stock Exchange (the “NYSE”) provided notice to the company that it did not satisfy one of the NYSE’s standards for continued listing applicable to the company’s common stock. The NYSE noted specifically that the company was “below criteria” for the NYSE’s price criteria for common stock because the average closing price of the company’s common stock was less than $1.00 per share over a consecutive 30-trading-day period.

Under NYSE policy, in order to cure the deficiency for this continued listing standard, the company’s common stock share price and the average share price over a consecutive 30-trading-day period both must exceed $1.00 within six months following receipt of the non-compliance notice. The NYSE also notified the company that the NYSE has the right to reevaluate continued listing determinations with respect to qualitative listing standards, including an abnormally low selling price at sustained levels.

The company’s common stock remains listed on the NYSE under the symbol “FBC”, but the NYSE will assign a “.BC” indicator to the symbol to denote that the company is below the quantitative continued listing standards. As required by the NYSE’s rules, in order to maintain the listing, the company will notify the NYSE, within 10 business days of receipt of the non-compliance notice, of its intent to cure this price deficiency.

Flagstar Bancorp, with $16.4 billion in total assets at June 30, 2009, is the largest savings bank headquartered in the Midwest. At June 30, 2009, Flagstar operated 175 banking centers in Michigan, Indiana and Georgia and 45 home loan centers in 18 states.
