ITEM 5.02 (b)  DEPARTURE OF DIRECTORS

 

On September 23, 2009, Dr. Ray Samuels indicated his intention to retire for personal reasons from the position of Director at Independence Bancshares, Inc. (the “Company”) and its subsidiary, Independence National Bank (the “Bank”), effective October 28, 2009.  Dr. Samuels’ decision to retire from the Board of Directors did not arise or result from any disagreement with the Company on any matters relating to the Company’s operations, policies or practices.  The Company is grateful for his years of dedicated service.

 

The Board of Directors of the Company is currently made up of 16 members, including Dr. Samuels.  The Company does not anticipate nominating an individual to fill this position at this time; thus, upon Dr. Samuels’ retirement, the Board of Directors of the Company will be decreased in size to 15 members.
