Exhibit 99.1

FAIRMOUNT BANCORP, INC. ANNOUNCES INTENTION TO DEREGISTER

Baltimore, Maryland (April 25, 2014) – Fairmount Bancorp, Inc. (“Company”) (OTCBB:FMTB), the holding company for Fairmount Bank (“Bank”), announced that the Company intends to file a Form 15 with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) to voluntarily effect the deregistration of its common stock under Sections 12(g) and 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. The Company expects that its obligations to file periodic reports, such as Annual Reports on Form 10-K, Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and Current Reports on Form 8-K, will be suspended after the filing of the Form 15 with the SEC, and its proxy statement, Section 16 and other Section 12(g) reporting responsibilities will terminate effective 90 days after the filing., expected to be filed on or about May 2, 2014.

The decision of the Company’s Board of Directors to deregister its common stock was based on the consideration of numerous factors, including (1) the disproportionately large costs of preparing and filing periodic reports with the SEC, (2) the substantial accounting, audit, legal and other costs and expenses associated with being a public company, (3) the additional demands placed on management and Company personnel to comply with reporting requirements, and (4) the historically low trading volume in the Company’s common stock.

“The decision to deregister was driven by a desire to achieve substantial annual savings by reducing accounting, legal and administrative costs associated with being an SEC registrant,” said Joseph M. Solomon, President and Chief Executive Officer. “We expect to achieve an estimated $75,000 in annual cost savings. We anticipate that our stock will continue to trade on the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board, and we intend to continue to prepare and publish quarterly and annual financial results via press releases and our website, www.fairmountbancorp.com.”

Fairmount Bancorp, Inc. is the holding company for Fairmount Bank, a FDIC-insured Maryland chartered non-member commercial bank that conducts business from its office in the Rosedale area of Baltimore County Maryland.
