PROXY STATEMENT
Annual Meeting of Stockholders to be held on
May 25, 2006 at 5:00 P.M.
INTRODUCTION
     This Proxy Statement is furnished on or about April 14, 2006 to stockholders of Old Line Bancshares, Inc. in connection with the solicitation of proxies by Old Line Bancshares, Inc.’s Board of Directors to be used at the annual meeting of stockholders described in the accompanying notice (the “Annual Meeting”) and at any adjournments or postponements thereof. The purposes of the Annual Meeting are set forth in the accompanying notice of annual meeting of stockholders.
     This proxy material is being sent to Old Line Bancshares, Inc.’s stockholders on or about April 14, 2006. Old Line Bancshares, Inc.’s annual report on Form 10-KSB, including financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2005, has been mailed to all stockholders with this proxy material.
SOLICITATION AND REVOCATION OF PROXIES
     The enclosed proxy is solicited by the Board of Directors of Old Line Bancshares, Inc. The Board of Directors selected Messrs. Daniel W. Deming and James F. Dent or either of them, to act as proxies with full power of substitution. The proxy is revocable at any time prior to or at the Annual Meeting by written notice to Old Line Bancshares, Inc., by executing a proxy bearing a later date, or by attending the Annual Meeting and voting in person. A written notice of revocation of a proxy should be sent to the Secretary, Old Line Bancshares, Inc., P.O. Box 1890, Waldorf, Maryland 20604, and will be effective if received by the Secretary prior to the Annual Meeting. The presence of a stockholder at the Annual Meeting alone will not automatically revoke such stockholder’s proxy.
     In addition to solicitation by mail, officers and directors of Old Line Bancshares, Inc. may solicit proxies personally or by telephone. Old Line Bancshares, Inc. will not specifically compensate these persons for soliciting such proxies. Old Line Bancshares, Inc. will bear the cost of soliciting proxies. These costs may include reasonable out-of-pocket expenses in forwarding proxy materials to beneficial owners. Old Line Bancshares, Inc. will reimburse brokers and other persons for their reasonable expenses in forwarding proxy materials to customers who are beneficial owners of the common stock of Old Line Bancshares, Inc. registered in the name of nominees.
OUTSTANDING SHARES AND VOTING RIGHTS
     Stockholders of record at the close of business on April 5, 2006 (the “Record Date”) are entitled to notice of and to vote at the Annual Meeting. As of the close of business on that date, there were outstanding and entitled to vote 4,248,898.5 shares of common stock, $0.01 par value per share, each of which is entitled to one vote.
     The presence, in person or by proxy, of stockholders entitled to cast a majority of all the votes entitled to be cast at the Annual Meeting will be necessary to constitute a quorum at the Annual Meeting. Abstentions and broker non-votes are counted for purposes of determining the presence or absence of a quorum for the transaction of business at the Annual Meeting.
     For the election of directors, which requires a plurality of the votes cast, only proxies and ballots indicating votes “FOR” a nominee or “WITHHOLD AUTHORITY” for a nominee are counted to determine the total number of votes cast, and abstentions have no effect on the outcome of the election.
     The affirmative vote of at least a majority of all votes cast at the Annual Meeting is sufficient for the ratification of the appointment of Rowles & Company LLP. An abstention is not included in calculating votes cast with respect to this proposal.

1


 

     The affirmative vote of two-thirds of the total votes entitled to be cast at the annual meeting is required for the approval of the amendment to Old Line Bancshares, Inc.’s charter to increase Old Line Bancshares, Inc.’s authorized shares of common stock from 5,000,000 to 15,000,000. An abstention will have the same effect as a vote against the amendment.
     The affirmative vote of two-thirds of the total votes entitled to be cast at the annual meeting is required for the approval of the amendment to Old Line Bancshares, Inc.’s charter to expressly grant the Board of Directors the power to change the location of the principal office of Old Line Bancshares, Inc. without the approval of the stockholders. An abstention will have the same effect as a vote against the amendment.
     If your shares are held in the name of a bank, brokerage firm or other similar holder of record (referred to as “in street name”), you will receive instructions from the holder of record that you must follow in order for you to specify how your shares will be voted. If you do not specify how you would like your shares to be voted, your shares held in street name may still be voted. In general, holders of record have the authority to vote shares for which their customers do not provide voting instructions on certain routine, uncontested items. In the case of non-routine or contested items, the institution holding street name shares cannot vote the shares if it has not received voting instructions. These are considered to be “broker non-votes.”
     It is anticipated that each of the four items in this proxy statement is considered a routine item for which street name shares may be voted without specific instructions. If your street name holder of record signs and returns a proxy card on your behalf, but does not indicate how the common stock should be voted, the common stock represented on the proxy card will be voted in the manner described below.
     All proxies will be voted as directed by the stockholder on the proxy form. A proxy, if executed and not revoked, will be voted in the following manner (unless it contains instructions to the contrary, in which event it will be voted in accordance with such instructions):
FOR the nominees for directors named below.
FOR the amendment to Old Line Bancshares, Inc.’s charter to increase the authorized shares of Old Line Bancshares, Inc.’s common stock from 5,000,000 shares to 15,000,000 shares.
FOR the amendment to Old Line Bancshares, Inc.’s charter to expressly grant the Board of Directors the power to change the location of the principal office without the approval of the stockholders.
FOR ratification of the appointment of Rowles & Company, LLP as independent public accountants for 2006.
Proxies will be voted in the discretion of the holder on such other business as may properly come before the Annual Meeting or any adjournments or postponements thereof.
IT IS ANTICIPATED THAT OLD LINE BANCSHARES, INC.’S DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS WILL VOTE THEIR SHARES OF
COMMON STOCK IN FAVOR OF THE NOMINEES FOR ELECTION TO THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS LISTED HEREIN, FOR THE
APPROVAL OF THE ARTICLES OF AMENDMENT AND FOR THE RATIFICATION OF THE APPOINTMENT OF ROWLES &
COMPANY, LLP.

In the case of a director nominated to fill a vacancy on the Board of Directors due to an increase in the size of the Board of Directors, the Nominating Committee recommends to the Board of Directors the class of directors in which the director-nominee should serve. The Nominating Committee also conducts appropriate inquiries into the backgrounds and qualifications of possible director candidates and reviews and makes recommendations regarding the composition and size of the Board of Directors.
     The Nominating Committee also evaluates candidates for nomination to the Board of Directors who are recommended by a stockholder. Stockholders who wish to recommend individuals for consideration by the Nominating Committee to become nominees for election to the Board may do so by submitting a written recommendation to the Secretary of Old Line Bancshares, Inc. at P.O. Box 1890, Waldorf, Md. 20604. Submissions must include sufficient biographical information concerning the recommended individual, including age, five year employment history with employer names and a description of the employer’s business, whether such individual can read and understand basic financial statements and board memberships for the Nominating Committee to consider. A written consent of the individual to stand for election if nominated and to serve if elected by the stockholders must accompany the submission. The Nominating Committee will consider recommendations received by a date not later than 120 calendar days before the date the Proxy Statement was released to stockholders in connection with the prior year’s annual meeting for nomination at that annual meeting. The Nominating Committee will consider nominations received beyond that date at the annual meeting subsequent to the next annual meeting.
     The Nominating Committee evaluates nominees for directors recommended by security holders in the same manner in which it evaluates any nominees for directors. Minimum qualifications include high moral character, mature judgment, familiarity with Old Line Bancshares Inc.’s business and industry, independence of thought and ability to work collegially.
Compensation Committee
     Old Line Bancshares, Inc.’s Compensation Committee members are Charles A. Bongar, Craig E. Clark, and Gail D. Manuel. The Board of Directors has determined that each of these individuals is independent, as defined under the applicable rules and listing standards of the Nasdaq Stock Market, Inc. The Compensation Committee of Old Line Bancshares, Inc. and Old Line Bank held three meetings in 2005.
     The Compensation Committee evaluates the performance of the President and Chief Executive Officer and makes recommendations to the Board of Directors regarding the President and Chief Executive Officer’s compensation. The Compensation Committee also reviews the current industry practices regarding compensation packages provided to executive management and the Board of Directors, including salary, bonus, stock options and other perquisites. Based on recommendations from the President and Chief Executive Officer, the Compensation Committee approves compensation provided to members of executive management, excluding the President and Chief Executive Officer. The Compensation Committee also evaluates and recommends to the Board of Directors fees for non-employee board members.
DIRECTOR COMPENSATION
     For 2005, each non-employee Director of Old Line Bank, other than the Chairman of the Board and the Vice Chairman of the Board, received $400 for each attended meeting of the Board of Directors, and $200 for each attended meeting of the asset & liability committee, the loan/loan review committee, the real estate committee and the nominating committee. Each non-employee Director of Old Line Bank, other than the Chairman of the Board and the Vice Chairman of the Board, also received $300 for each attended meeting of the compensation committee and the audit committee. Each non-employee Director of Old Line Bank, other than the Chairman of the Board and the Vice Chairman of the Board, also received a $250 quarterly retainer. During 2005, the Chairman of the Board received an annual compensation of $30,000 and the Vice Chairman received an annual compensation of $15,000.
     During 2006, it is anticipated that each non-employee Director of Old Line Bank will receive the same cash compensation as the compensation received in 2005. We reserve the right to change these amounts during 2006.
     Old Line Bancshares, Inc. has paid no cash remuneration, direct or otherwise, to its directors since its incorporation. It is expected that unless and until Old Line Bancshares, Inc. becomes actively involved in additional businesses other than owning all the capital stock of Old Line Bank, no separate cash compensation will be paid to the directors of Old Line Bancshares, Inc. in addition to

that paid to them by Old Line Bank in their capacities as directors of Old Line Bank. However, Old Line Bancshares, Inc. may determine in the future that such separate cash compensation is appropriate.
     In addition to cash compensation, since 1997, Old Line Bancshares, Inc. or Old Line Bank (prior to Old Line Bank’s reorganization into the holding company structure) has granted options in December of each year to its non-employee directors. Historically, each non-employee director was granted an option to purchase 900 shares. For 2004, Old Line Bancshares, Inc. increased the amount to 1,200 and in 2005 it granted 1,000 shares. All options were granted at fair market value, are exercisable immediately, and expire on the tenth anniversary of the grant date. Also, the options terminate (if not exercised) on the first anniversary of the termination of the director’s service on the Board of Directors.
     Old Line Bancshares, Inc. intends to grant options to purchase 1,000 shares of its common stock to its non-employee directors in December 2006 It is anticipated that the options will be granted at fair market value, will be exercisable immediately, and will expire on the tenth anniversary of the grant date. It is also anticipated that the options will terminate (if not exercised) on the first anniversary of the termination of the director’s service on the Board of Directors. Old Line Bancshares, Inc. reserves the right to change this policy, including a change which grants non-employee directors options to purchase more than 1,000 shares of common stock.

Employment Agreements
     Old Line Bank has entered into employment agreements with each of James W. Cornelsen, Joseph W. Burnett and Christine M. Rush.
     On March 31, 2003, Old Line Bank entered into a new employment agreement with Mr. Cornelsen (replacing a 1999 agreement) to serve as the President and Chief Executive Officer of Old Line Bank. This agreement provides for an initial term of five years and may be extended by the Board of Directors, in their sole discretion, for one additional year or such greater term as the Board of Directors deems appropriate. In December 2003, 2004 and 2005, the Board of Directors extended the term by one additional year. Mr. Cornelsen’s employment agreement is currently set to expire in March 2011.
Mr. Cornelsen’s agreement currently provides for a salary of $205,000 and Mr. Cornelsen may receive an annual bonus to be determined by the Board of Directors. In addition, Mr. Cornelsen is entitled to receive an annual grant of options to purchase at least 4,500 shares of common stock of Old Line Bancshares, Inc., assuming such options are available to grant under a stockholder approved stock option plan.
     The agreement terminates upon Mr. Cornelsen’s death, permanent disability or by mutual written agreement. In addition, Mr. Cornelsen may terminate the agreement within six months following a “change in control,” as described below, or for good reason as described in the agreement. Old Line Bank may terminate the agreement for certain events constituting cause as described in the agreement. Old Line Bank may also terminate the agreement without cause provided that it provides sixty days prior written notice to Mr. Cornelsen.
     If Mr. Cornelsen terminates the agreement for good reason, or if Old Line Bank terminates Mr. Cornelsen’s employment without cause or because of permanent disability, Mr. Cornelsen will receive severance pay for the remaining term of the agreement in an amount equal to his average annual compensation over the prior five years.
     If Mr. Cornelsen is terminated or terminates his employment in anticipation of or within six months following a change in control, he is entitled to a single payment equal to 2.99 times his average annual compensation over the prior five years. If the change of control payments were required to be paid in 2006, Mr. Cornelsen would receive approximately $513,000.
Pursuant to the employment agreement, a “change in control” will occur if:
any person or persons acting in concert acquires, whether by purchase, assignment, transfer, pledge or otherwise (including as a result of a redemption of securities), then outstanding voting securities of Old Line Bancshares, Inc, if, after the transaction, the acquiring person (or persons) owns, controls or holds with power to vote twenty-five percent (25%) or more of any class of voting securities of Old Line Bancshares, Inc., as the case may be;

11


 

    within any twelve-month period (beginning on or after the effective date of the employment agreement) the persons who were directors of Old Line Bancshares, Inc. immediately before the beginning of such twelve-month period (the “Incumbent Directors”) cease to constitute at least a majority of such Board of Directors; provided that any director who was not a director as of the effective date of the employment agreement will be deemed to be an Incumbent Director if that director was elected to such Board of Directors by, or on the recommendation of or with the approval of, at least two-thirds of the directors who then qualified as Incumbent Directors;
 
    the stockholders of Old Line Bancshares, Inc. approve a reorganization, merger or consolidation with respect to which persons who were the stockholders of Old Line Bancshares, Inc. immediately prior to such reorganization, merger or consolidation do not, immediately thereafter, own more than fifty percent (50%) of the combined voting power entitled to vote in the election of directors of the reorganized, merged or consolidated company’s then outstanding voting securities (other than in connection with the formation of the holding company); or
 
    all or substantially all of the assets of Old Line Bancshares, Inc. are sold, transferred or assigned to any third party.
     On March 31, 2003, Old Line Bank entered into employment agreements with Mr. Burnett and Ms. Rush to serve as Senior Vice Presidents of Old Line Bank. Each agreement has an initial term of two years and thereafter automatically extends for periods of one year unless Old Line Bank terminates the automatic renewal by giving written notice ninety days prior to the renewal date. Old Line Bank did not provide such a notice within 90 days of March 31, 2006.
     Mr. Burnett’s agreement currently provides for a salary of $142,000 and Ms. Rush’s agreement currently provides for a salary of $135,500. Each of these two officers may receive an annual discretionary bonus. In addition, these officers are each entitled to receive an annual grant of options to purchase at least 2,700 shares of common stock of Old Line Bancshares, Inc., assuming such options are available to grant under a stockholder approved stock option plan.
     Each agreement terminates upon the employee’s death or physical or mental incapacitation that has left the employee unable to perform his or her duties for a period of sixty consecutive days. In addition, the employee may terminate his or her agreement by giving Old Line Bank sixty days written notice. Old Line Bank may terminate each agreement for certain events constituting cause as described in the agreements. Each employee is entitled to receive the remaining balance of his or her unused vacation and personal leave at the termination of employment unless the employee is terminated for cause.
Other Executive Benefits
     Incentive Plan Model and Stock Option Model
     On June 24, 2005, our Board of Directors approved an Incentive Plan Model and a Stock Option Model for calendar year 2005 for Messrs. Cornelsen and Burnett and Ms. Rush. The Incentive Plan Model and the Stock Option Model provided mechanisms under which the compensation committee could, in its discretion, authorize cash and equity compensation bonuses to the executive officers. To date, the compensation committee has not adopted new models for 2006.
     The models provided the compensation committee with guidelines for determining discretionary bonuses. The cash bonus under the Incentive Plan Model was determined by multiplying the named executive’s base salary by a percentage factor calculated based on our return on assets, return on equity and earnings per share at a threshold, target and stretch level. The options to be granted under the Stock Option Model depended on whether Old Line Bancshares, Inc. met the cumulative threshold, target and stretch levels for our return on assets, return on equity and earnings per share. If met, options with a value equal on the date of grant to a percentage of the executive’s base salary based on the Black-Scholes pricing model would be issued to the executives.
     Under the Incentive Plan Model, at the target levels, Mr. Cornelsen would be eligible to receive a bonus equal to 25% of his base salary and Mr. Burnett and Ms. Rush would be eligible to receive a bonus equal to 15% of their base salaries. Under the Stock Option Model, at the target levels, the officers would be eligible to receive options with a value equal on the date of grant to 20% (for Mr. Cornelsen) or 10% (for Mr. Burnett and Ms. Rush) of base salary based on Black-Scholes pricing model.
     The compensation committee designed the incentive structure to reward achievement based on Old Line Bancshares, Inc.’s return on assets, return on equity and earnings per share, and to discourage the achievement of one metric at the expense of the others.

12


 

The Board of Directors and the compensation committee of the Board of Directors were authorized to adjust, modify or terminate the models, in full or in part, at any time in their sole discretion. The Stock Option Model did not affect the minimum number of options that the executives were to receive as provided for in their employment agreements, subject to the terms of those agreements.
     On December 30, 2005, the compensation committee of the Board of Directors of Old Line Bancshares, Inc. and Old Line Bank, reviewed the anticipated financial performance of Old Line Bancshares, Inc. and Old Line Bank for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2005 in order to determine what, if any, cash bonus or incentive stock option bonus should be paid to the executive officer pursuant to the Incentive Plan Model and Stock Option Model. In making its review, the compensation committee reviewed Old Line Bancshares, Inc.’s actual anticipated financial performance and considered the impact of the stock offering that was completed in October 2005 and the addition of the College Park loan production office in August 2005 on the financial performance.
     Based on this review, effective December 30, 2005, we paid cash bonuses and issued incentive stock options to Mr. Cornelsen, Mr. Burnett and Ms. Rush as follows:
                         
Name of Officer   Cash Bonus     Number of Options     Exercise Price  
James W. Cornelsen
  $ 63,000       19,700     $ 10.44  
 
                       
Joseph Burnett
    25,000       8,800       10.44  
Christine Rush
    24,000       8,300       10.44  
One-third of the option grant vested as of December 31, 2005, one-third of the option grant will vest on December 31, 2006 and one-third of the option grant will vest on December 31, 2007. The options were issued from the Registrant’s 2004 Equity Incentive Plan.
     Salary Continuation Agreements and Supplement Life Insurance Agreements
     On January 3, 2006, Old Line Bank entered into Salary Continuation Agreements and Supplemental Life Insurance Agreements and started accruing for a related annual expense, with Mr. Cornelsen, Mr. Burnett and Ms. Rush.
     Under the Salary Continuation Agreements, and in accordance with the conditions specified therein, benefits accrue over time from the date of the agreement until the executive reaches the age of 65. Upon full vesting of the benefit, the executives will be paid the following annual amounts for 15 years: Mr. Cornelsen — $131,607; Mr. Burnett — $23,177; and Ms. Rush — $56,658. The agreements also provide for payments to the executives if their employment is terminated prior to age 65, including as a result of death or disability (as defined in the agreements). The agreements also provide for 100% vesting in the event of a separation from service (defined as the termination of the executive’s employment for any reason other than death or disability) following a change in control (as defined in the agreements). Change in control is defined in the agreements by reference to the definition in Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 and the regulations promulgated thereunder.

PROPOSAL II
APPROVING AMENDMENT TO OLD LINE BANCSHARES, INC’S CHARTER TO INCREASE THE AUTHORIZED
SHARES OF COMMON STOCK FROM 5,000,000 TO 15,000,000
     Stockholders are being asked to approve Articles of Amendment to Old Line Bancshares, Inc.’s charter to increase the authorized shares of common stock from 5,000,000 to 15,000,000. A copy of the Articles of Amendment are attached hereto and incorporated by reference herein as Appendix 1.
     Assuming approval by the stockholders, the Articles of Amendment will become effective upon their acceptance for record by the State Department of Assessments and Taxation of Maryland (the “SDAT”). Assuming approval of the Articles of Amendment by the stockholders, Old Line Bancshares, Inc. intends to file the Articles of Amendment with the SDAT as soon as practicable after the Annual Meeting.
Description of and Reasons for the Amendment
     The purpose of the amendment is to permit Old Line Bancshares, Inc.’s Board of Directors to issue common stock for a variety of proper corporate purposes as the Board of Directors may deem advisable without the consent of Old Line Bancshares, Inc.’s stockholders.
     The amendment would restate the first two paragraphs of Article SIXTH of the charter to read as follows:
“The total number of shares and the par value of each class of capital stock which the Corporation is authorized to issue is as follows:
                 
Class of Stock   Number of Shares     Par Value  
Preferred
    1,000,000     $ 0.01  
Common
    15,000,000     $ 0.01  
Any and all shares of stock issued, and for which the full consideration has been paid or delivered, shall be deemed fully paid stock; and the holder of such shares shall not be liable for any further call or assessment or any other payment thereon. The aggregate par value of all shares of all classes of stock is $160,000.”
     The charter currently authorizes the issuance of up to 5,000,000 shares of common stock. As of the date of this proxy statement, there were 4,248,898.5 shares of common stock issued and outstanding, leaving a balance of 751,101.5 shares that are authorized and unissued. Of the 751,105.5 shares of authorized and unissued common stock, 15,300 shares are reserved for issuance pursuant to our 1990 Stock Option Plan, 67,800 shares are reserved for issuance pursuant to our 2001 Stock Option Plan, and 89,520 shares are reserved for issuance pursuant to our 2004 Equity Incentive Plan. Thus, as of the date of this proxy statement, there are only 578,485.5 shares of common stock that remain unissued or reserved for issuance.
     If the proposed amendment to the charter is approved by the stockholders, upon its effectiveness, Old Line Bancshares, Inc. will have 15,000,000 shares of common stock. Old Line Bancshares will be left with a balance of 10,578,485.5 shares authorized and unissued and not reserved for any specific purpose.
     The rights and terms of Old Line Bancshares, Inc.’s common stock will not be changed in any way by the proposed amendment, and the additional shares of common stock, if authorized, would have the same rights and privileges as the shares of common stock currently outstanding.
     The Board of Directors believes the availability of such shares will benefit Old Line Bancshares, Inc. by providing flexibility to issue stock for a variety of proper corporate purposes as the Board of Directors may deem advisable without further action by stockholders, except as may be required by law, regulation or rule. These purposes could include, among other things, the sale of stock for capital raising purposes, the issuance of stock to persons who provide services to Old Line Bancshares, Inc., the purchase of property, an acquisition or merger, the use of additional shares for equity compensation plans, the declaration of stock splits, stock dividends or distributions and other bona fide corporate purposes.

17


 

     The issuance of additional shares of stock under any of these circumstances could have a dilutive effect on earnings per share and on a stockholder’s percentage voting power in our company. Holders of Old Line Bancshares, Inc.’s common stock do not have preemptive rights to subscribe for additional securities that may be issued by Old Line Bancshares, Inc., which means that current stockholders do not have a prior right to purchase any new issue of stock in order to maintain their proportionate ownership interest.
     Other than grants pursuant to the 2001 Stock Option Plan and the 2004 Equity Incentive Plan, management has no present arrangements, agreements, understandings or plans for the issuance of the additional shares of common stock proposed to be authorized by the amendment to the charter.
Anti-Takeover Effects
     Although an increase in the authorized shares of common stock could, under certain circumstances, have an anti-takeover effect (for example, by diluting the stock ownership of a person seeking to effect a change in the composition of the Board of Directors or contemplating a tender offer or other transaction for the combination of Old Line Bancshares, Inc., with another company), the current proposal to amend the charter is not in response to any effort by any person or group to accumulate Old Line Bancshares, Inc.’s common stock or to obtain control of Old Line Bancshares, Inc., by means of a merger, tender offer, solicitations in opposition to management or otherwise.
     The proposed increase in the number of authorized shares of common stock is not intended for anti-takeover purposes. Management is not currently aware of any actions taken by any person or group to obtain control of Old Line Bancshares or to change its management. In addition, there have been no proposals to management or the Board of Directors for a merger or the purchase of Old Line Bancshares, Inc.’s securities or assets, and the proposal is not part of any plan by management to recommend a series of similar amendments to the Board of Directors and the stockholders. The Board of Directors does not currently contemplate recommending the adoption of any other amendments to the charter that could be construed to affect the ability of third parties to take over or change control of our company.
Stockholder Approval
     The approval of the Articles of Amendment to increase the number of authorized shares of common stock from 5,000,000 to 15,000,000 requires the affirmative vote of at least two-thirds of the total votes entitled to be cast at the Annual Meeting.
The Board of Directors recommends that stockholders vote “FOR” the Articles of Amendment.
PROPOSAL III
APPROVING AMENDMENT TO OLD LINE BANCSHARES, INC’S CHARTER TO EXPRESSLY GRANT THE BOARD
OF DIRECTORS THE POWER TO CHANGE THE LOCATION OF THE PRINCIPAL OFFICE WITHOUT THE
APPROVAL OF THE STOCKHOLDERS
     Stockholders are being asked to approve Articles of Amendment to Old Line Bancshares, Inc.’s charter to expressly grant the Board of Directors the power to change the location of the principal office without the approval of the stockholders. A copy of the Articles of Amendment are attached hereto and incorporated by reference herein as Appendix 2.
     Assuming approval by the stockholders, the Articles of Amendment will become effective upon their acceptance for record by the SDAT. Assuming approval of the Articles of Amendment by the stockholders, Old Line Bancshares, Inc. intends to file the Articles of Amendment with the SDAT as soon as practicable after the Annual Meeting.

18


 

Description of and Reasons for the Amendment
     The purpose of the amendment is to permit the Board of Directors to change the location of the principal office without the approval of the stockholders.
     The amendment would restate Article TENTH of the charter to read as follows:
“The board of directors shall have the power to change the location of the principal office without the approval of the stockholders.”
     Currently, Article TENTH of the charter provides that the Board of Directors may change the location of Old Line Bancshares, Inc.’s principal office to within 30 miles of the office in Waldorf, Maryland without the approval of the stockholders. Old Line Bancshares, Inc. is currently in the process of moving its principal office to 1525 Pointer Ridge Road, Bowie, Maryland, which is less than 30 miles from Waldorf, Maryland. However, if the Board of Directors determines that it should move the principal office again in the future, the Board of Directors believes that it should have this authority generally without requiring the approval of the stockholders.
Stockholder Approval
     The approval of the Articles of Amendment to expressly grant the Board of Directors the power to change the location of the principal office without the approval of the stockholders requires the affirmative vote of at least two-thirds of the total votes entitled to be cast at the Annual Meeting.
The Board of Directors recommends that stockholders vote “FOR” the Articles of Amendment.
PROPOSAL IV
RATIFICATION OF APPOINTMENT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
     The Board of Directors has ratified and confirmed the Audit Committee’s selection of Rowles & Company, LLP as Old Line Bancshares, Inc.’s independent public accountants for 2006, subject to ratification by the stockholders. Rowles & Company, LLP has served as Old Line Bank’s independent public accountants since 1995 and the Audit Committee and management consider Rowles & Company, LLP to be well qualified. They have issued no qualified opinions during such engagement.
     A representative of Rowles & Company, LLP will be present at the Annual Meeting to respond to appropriate questions and to make a statement if he or she desires to do so.
     Approval of this proposal requires a majority of votes cast at the Annual Meeting. Abstentions and broker non-votes will have no effect on the vote for this proposal.
     The Board of Directors recommends that stockholders vote “FOR” the ratification of the appointment of Rowles & Company, LLP as independent public accountants for 2006.
