Item 3.01

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

On May 23, 2011, OptimumBank Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”) furnished a Current Report on Form 8-K to report the Company’s receipt on May 17, 2011, of a written notice from the Listing Qualifications Staff of The Nasdaq Stock Market (the “Staff”) notifying the Company that it failed to comply with Nasdaq’s Listing Rule 5550(b)(1) (the “Stockholders’ Equity Rule”) because its stockholders’ equity fell below the minimum $2,500,000 requirement for continued listing on the Nasdaq Capital Market. The Company reported stockholders’ equity at March 31, 2011 of $1,678,000. The Company was provided 45 calendar days, or until July 1, 2011, to submit a plan to regain compliance with the Stockholders’ Equity Rule. If the Company’s plan was accepted, Staff could grant an extension of up to 180 calendar days, or until November 13, 2011, to evidence compliance with the rule. The Staff subsequently granted the Company an extension until November 4, 2011, to evidence compliance with the Stockholders’ Equity Rule based on its acceptance of the Company’s plan to raise capital in a private placement offering of the Company’s common stock.

On October 27, 2011, the Company completed an $8.3 million common stock offering in a private placement (the “Private Placement”) to individual accredited investors, including approximately $1.9 million to members of its Board of Directors. The Private Placement consisted of the sale of 20,639,250 shares of common stock at $.40 per share. As of the date of this Report, the Company believes it has regained compliance with the Stockholders’ Equity Rule based on the completion of the Private Placement. Nasdaq will continue to monitor the Company’s ongoing compliance with the Stockholders’ Equity Rule and, if the Company fails to evidence compliance upon filing its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011, with the Securities and Exchange Commission and Nasdaq, the Staff will provide written notice that the Company’s common stock will be delisted. At that time, the Company may appeal the Staff’s determination to delist its common stock to a Listing Qualifications panel.
