Item 8.01 Other Events

On November 21, 2012, the Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis notified HopFed Bancorp, Inc. (the “Registrant”) that effective immediately, the Registrant is no longer subject to the Memorandum of Understanding (“MOU”) entered into on April 30, 2010, with the Office of Thrift Supervision (the “OTS”), the primary federal regulator of the Registrant at that time. The MOU between the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (the “Federal Reserve”), as successor to the OTS, and the Registrant primarily related to limitations on borrowings, cash dividend payments and other capital distributions by the Registrant as disclosed in an 8-K filed on May 6, 2010. Termination of the Company’s MOU was preceded by the termination of a separate MOU between the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, also a successor to the OTS, and Heritage Bank, the Company’s thrift subsidiary, on October 10, 2012.

John Peck, President and Chief Executive Officer of the Registrant and Heritage Bank, stated, “We are grateful to have earned termination of the informal agreements between the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, the Federal Reserve, our Company and Heritage Bank. These actions reflect the accomplishments of our entire team - directors, officers and other employees - and highlights improvements we have implemented. The Company will immediately accelerate considerations for the prudent leveraging of our capital position.”
