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

(a) On September 21, 2009, Sun American Bancorp (the "Company") received two deficiency letters (each, a "Notice" and together, the "Notices") from The Nasdaq Stock Market ("Nasdaq") informing the Company that it does not currently meet two continuing listing requirements of the Nasdaq Global Market because in the previous 30 consecutive trading days (i) the Company's common stock has not maintained a minimum market value of publicly held shares ("MVPHS") of $5,000,000 as required for continued inclusion on Nasdaq by Marketplace Listing Rule 5450(b)(1)(C), and (ii) the closing bid price of the Company's common stock has been below the $1.00 minimum bid price as required for continued listing on Nasdaq by Marketplace Listing Rule 5450(a)(1).

The Notice relating to the MVPHS deficiency states that the Company will be afforded 90 calendar days, or until December 15, 2009, to regain compliance with the minimum market value requirement. In order to regain compliance, the MVPHS of the Company's common stock must be $5,000,000 or greater for a minimum of ten consecutive trading days.

Additionally, the Notice relating to the bid price deficiency states that the Company will be afforded 180 calendar days, or until March 15, 2010, to regain compliance with the minimum bid price requirement. In order to regain compliance, the closing bid price of the Company's common stock must be $1.00 or greater for a minimum of ten consecutive business days.

The Notices also provide that in the event the Company does not regain compliance with Marketplace Rules 5450(b)(1)(C) and 5450(a)(1) by the expiration of the respective 90-day and 180-day grace periods, the Company will receive written notification that its common stock is subject to delisting.

The Company intends to actively monitor compliance with the MVPHS and closing bid price standards for its common stock and will consider all available options to resolve the deficiencies and regain compliance with the Nasdaq minimum listing requirements.

On September 22, 2009, the Company issued a press release announcing the receipt of the Notices from Nasdaq. A copy of the press release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.
