Explanatory Note

Carroll Bancorp, Inc. (the “Registrant”) is filing this Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 to Form S-8 Registration Statement to deregister certain shares of its common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Common Stock”), previously registered for issuance by the Registrant pursuant to its Form S-8 Registration Statement No. 333-186267, which was originally filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on January 29, 2013 (the “2013 Form S-8”). A total of 46,728 shares of the Registrant’s Common Stock (the “Registered Shares”) were registered for issuance under the Registrant’s 2011 Stock Option Plan (the “Stock Option Plan”) and 2011 Recognition and Retention Plan and Trust Agreement (the “Recognition and Retention Plan” and together with the Stock Option Plan, the “Plans”), pursuant to the 2013 Form S-8, plus such additional number of shares of Common Stock as necessary to satisfy the anti-dilution provisions of the Plans pursuant to Rule 416(a) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

The Registrant has issued 10,783 of the Registered Shares pursuant to restricted stock grants under the Recognition and Retention Plan. None of the Registered Shares have been issued pursuant to the Stock Option Plan. Of the Registered Shares, 35,945 shares of Common Stock have not been issued under the Plans.

The Registrant hereby removes and withdraws from registration the 35,945 shares of Common Stock (plus the number of additional shares of Common Stock registered as a result of the Registrant’s 20% stock dividend paid on May 1, 2015) registered for issuance pursuant to the 2013 Form S-8 that remain unissued.
