Section 8 - Other Events

 

Item 8.01 Other Events.

 

As previously announced, Old Line Bancshares, Inc. (“Old Line”) entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger with Bay Bancorp, Inc. (“BYBK”) on September 27, 2017, and on December 14, 2017, Adam Franchi, both individually and on behalf of a putative class of BYBK’s stockholders, filed a complaint in the United States District Court for the District of Maryland against BYBK and its directors as well as Old Line, seeking to enjoin the merger of BYBK into Old Line pursuant to the merger agreement, based primarily on allegations that the version of the joint proxy statement/prospectus that was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on November 22, 2017, omitted certain material information in violation of Section 14(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Rule 14a-9 promulgated thereunder. On March 29, 2018, the Court approved the Stipulation and Proposed Order of Dismissal (the “Stipulation”) that the parties to the litigation entered into on March 28, 2018. Accordingly, all of the plaintiff’s claims made in the complaint have been dismissed, with prejudice as to himself and without prejudice to any other member of the putative class of stockholders. This action resolves all issues raised in the litigation except for a claim for attorneys’ fees and expenses. Pursuant to the Stipulation, the Court retains jurisdiction of the litigation solely for the purpose of ruling on a potential application for fees and expenses by the plaintiff’s counsel if the parties do not reach an agreement on the payment of any such fees and expenses.
