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

United Bancshares, Inc. (the “Company”) (NASDAQ:UBOH), the holding company parent of The Union Bank Company, an Ohio-chartered commercial bank headquartered in Columbus Grove, Ohio, announced today that it has notified the NASDAQ Stock Market of the Company’s intent to voluntarily delist its common stock from the NASDAQ Capital Market and withdraw the registration of its common stock with the SEC under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). The Company intends to file a Form 25 with the SEC to remove its common stock from listing on the NASDAQ Capital Market and to deregister its stock under Section 12(b) of the Exchange Act on or about August 17 2022. The Company expects the last trading day of its shares of common stock on the NASDAQ Capital Market will be on or about August 26, 2022.  The Company intends to file a Form 15 with the SEC on or about September 5, 2022 to terminate the registration of its common stock under section 12(g) of the Exchange Act.  Once the termination is effective, which is expected to occur within 90 days of filing, the Company’s obligation to file proxy materials and comply with Section 16 Exchange Act beneficial ownership reporting rules will end.

The obligation of the Company to file periodic reports with the SEC, including reports on Forms 10-K, 10-Q and 8-K, pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act, will continue for the balance of its fiscal year ending December 31, 2022. The Company intends to file a Form 15 with the SEC after the filing of its Annual Report on SEC form 10-K for its fiscal year ended December 31, 2022, filed in early 2023, and upon such filing the Company’s obligation to file reports under Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act, including SEC Form 10-K, 10-Q, and 8-K, will be suspended immediately. 

Following Nasdaq delisting, the Company expects its shares will be quoted on the OTCQX Market under the symbol “UBOH” beginning on or about August 29, 2022.

A copy of the press release dated July 25, 2022, giving details associated with the voluntary delisting, is attached as Exhibit 99.1 to this report and is incorporated herein by reference.
