EXPLANATORY NOTE

 

This Post-Effective Amendment relates to the following Registration Statements of ECB Bancorp, Inc., a North Carolina corporation (“ECB”) on Form S-8 (collectively, the “Registration Statements”) filed by ECB with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”):

 

 

Registration Statement No. 333-77689, registering 159,000 shares of ECB’s common stock, $3.50 par value per share (“Common Stock”) under the Omnibus Stock Ownership and Long Term Incentive Plan; and

 

  Registration Statement No. 333-151210, registering 200,000 shares of the Common Stock under the 2008 Omnibus Equity Plan.

 

  On April 1, 2013, pursuant to that certain Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated September 25, 2012 (the “Merger Agreement”) by and between Crescent Financial Bancshares, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Crescent”) and ECB, ECB merged with and into Crescent, with Crescent being the surviving entity (the “Merger”). As a result of the Merger, ECB has terminated all offerings of Common Stock pursuant to the Registration Statements. In accordance with an undertaking made by ECB in the Registration Statements to remove from registration, by means of a post-effective amendment, any securities that had been registered for issuance but remain unsold at the termination of the offerings subject to the Registration Statements, ECB removes from registration any and all securities of ECB that had been registered for issuance under the Registration Statements that remain unissued as of the effective time of the Merger.
