Item 8.01 Other Events
On July 16, 2020, Heritage NOLA Bancorp, Inc. (the "Company") (OTC Pink
Marketplace: "HRGG"), the parent company of Heritage Bank of St. Tammany (the
"Bank"), filed a Form 15 with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") to
deregister its common stock under Section 12(g) of the Securities Exchange Act
of 1934, as amended. Upon filing the Form 15, the Company's obligation to file
periodic reports with the SEC, including reports on Form 10-K, Form 10-Q and
Form 8-K, and proxy materials was suspended. The Bank will continue to report
detailed quarterly financial results to its regulators.
W. David Crumhorn, President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company,
commented, "The Company is taking this action in order to reduce operating
expenses. We believe that the continuing increased costs and administrative
burdens of public company status, including our reporting obligations with the
SEC, outweigh the benefits of public reporting. The Board of Directors believes
that the expense reductions inherent in deregistering will benefit the Company
and its stockholders and serve to enhance the long term value of the Company by
allowing management to focus on the Company's core banking operations as opposed
to spending considerable time and expense to comply with SEC reporting
requirements." Mr. Crumhorn also indicated that the Company intends to continue
to post quarterly information regarding its results of operations and financial
condition on www.heritagebank.org and will continue to provide stockholders with
an annual report containing audited financial statements.
This Current Report on Form 8-K contains certain forward-looking statements that
are based on assumptions and may describe future plans, strategies and
expectations of the Company. 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 changes in the interest rate environment, changes in
general economic conditions, legislative and regulatory changes that adversely
affect the business of the Company and the Bank, and changes in the securities
markets. Except as required by law, the Company does not undertake any
obligation to update any forward-looking statements to reflect changes in
belief, expectations or events.
