Item 8.01

Other Events .

On March 31, 2010, Pamrapo Bancorp, Inc. (the “Company”), the parent company of Pamrapo Savings Bank, S.L.A. and BCB Bancorp, Inc. (“BCB”), the parent company of BCB Community Bank, agreed to revise the structure of their proposed merger pursuant to Section 9.2 of the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of June 29, 2009, as amended (the “Merger Agreement”), pursuant to which the Company will merge with and into BCB (the “Merger”). It is the intent of the parties that the Merger will be completed as contemplated in the Merger Agreement except that (i) the directors as set forth in Exhibit 1.4 of the Merger Agreement of the surviving corporation and surviving institution shall be revised so as to consist of Robert Ballance, Judith Q. Bielan, Joseph Brogan, James Collins, Mark D. Hogan, Joseph Lyga, Donald Mindiak, Alexander Pasiechnik, Joseph Tagliareni, Robert Hughes and Kenneth Walter and (ii) directors Conaghan and Brockman will waive their rights to a Consulting Agreement or advisory board position with the surviving corporation and surviving institution pursuant to Section 6.11(j) of the Merger Agreement.

In addition, each of the Company and BCB will waive its right to consider the above referenced changes from constituting a “burdensome condition” as defined in the Merger Agreement. All other terms of the Merger Agreement remain unchanged.

The preceding disclosure is qualified in its entirety by reference to the letter between the Company and BCB, dated March 31, 2010, which is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.

Forward-Looking Statements

This Form 8-K contains certain forward-looking statements. These statements speak only as of the date they are made. The company undertakes no obligation to revise or publicly release any revision or update to these forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances that occur after the date on which such statements were made. Forward-looking statements can be identified by the fact that they do not relate strictly to historical or current facts. They often include words like “believe,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” and “intend” or future or conditional verbs such as “will,” “would,” “should,” “could” or “may.” Certain factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from expected results include delays in completing the merger, difficulties in achieving cost savings from the merger or in achieving such cost savings within the expected time frame, difficulties in integrating Pamrapo and BCB, increased competitive pressures, the outcome of the stockholder litigation, changes in the interest rate environment, changes in general economic conditions, legislative and regulatory changes that adversely affect the business in which Pamrapo is engaged, changes in the securities markets and other risks and uncertainties disclosed from time to time in documents that Pamrapo files with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”).
