EXPLANATORY NOTE

On February 23, 2022, The Bank of Princeton, a New Jersey state-chartered bank (the “Bank”), entered into a Plan of Reorganization and Merger (the “Plan”) with Princeton Bancorp, Inc., a Pennsylvania corporation (the “Company”) and its wholly owned subsidiary Interim Bank of Princeton (“Interim”). Effective at 5:15 p.m. on January 10, 2023 (the “Effective Time”), under the terms of the Plan and pursuant to the merger of Interim with and into the Bank under Section 17:9-A-139 of the New Jersey Department of Banking and Insurance Act of 1948, the Bank became a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. Each outstanding share of common stock, par value of $5.00 per share, of the Bank, which we refer to as Bank common stock, was exchanged for one share of common stock, no par value per share, of the Company, which we refer to as Company common stock (the “Reorganization”).

Item 3.01 Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing.

In connection with the Reorganization, the Bank notified The Nasdaq Global Select Market (“Nasdaq”) that the Reorganization would be effective at the Effective Time and requested that the listing for the Bank common stock be transferred to the Company common stock. Following this transfer of the listing, the Company common stock will begin trading on Nasdaq under the symbol “BPRN” on January 11, 2023.

The Bank plans to file a certificate on Form 15 requesting that the Bank common stock be deregistered under Section 12(g) of the Exchange Act and that the Bank’s reporting obligations under Sections 13 and 15(d) of the Exchange Act be suspended.

Item 3.03 Material Modification of Rights of Securityholders.

Upon completion of the Reorganization, each share of Bank common stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Reorganization converted automatically into and was exchanged, on a one-for-one basis, for a share of Company common stock.

Item 7.01 Regulation FD Disclosure.

On January 10, 2023, the Bank issued a press release to announce the effectiveness of the Reorganization. The information in this Item 7.01, including Exhibit 99.1, shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Exchange Act, or otherwise subject to the liability of that section, and shall not be deemed to be incorporated by reference into any filing under the Securities Act of 1933 or the Exchange Act.
