Item 8.01.   Other Events .

 

On February 23, 2009, Mutual Federal Bancorp, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into a non-binding term sheet agreement that sets forth the material terms of a proposed investment by the Company in Great American Bank, a de novo Illinois state commercial bank in organization (the “Bank”).  Pursuant to the non-binding terms, the Company proposes to purchase $2 million of common stock of the Bank.  The amount the Company invests may, at its discretion, be adjusted to ensure that the Company owns 20% of the outstanding stock of the Bank at the closing of the Bank’s offering.  In connection with its proposed investment, the Company would receive the right to nominate annually one member to the Bank’s board of directors for so long as it holds at least 10% of the Bank’s outstanding common stock.  The Company also would be granted certain preemptive purchase and sale rights in order to maintain its ownership percentage in the Bank.

 

The terms of the proposed investment set forth in the term sheet are not binding on either the Company or the Bank.  The term sheet will terminate upon the earlier of the execution of a definitive stock purchase agreement or April 24, 2009.  Any investment by the Company in the Bank is subject to, among other things, the Company’s satisfactory completion of its due diligence review of the Bank; the negotiation and execution of a definitive stock purchase agreement on terms acceptable to the Company; the approval by the boards of directors of each of the Company and the Bank of the investment; and the satisfaction of the closing conditions contained in any definitive stock purchase agreement, including the receipt of any and all required regulatory approvals.  Accordingly, no assurances can be given that the proposed investment will occur or that, if entered into, the amount and the terms of the proposed investment will be similar to the amount and the terms proposed in the term sheet described above.
