Item 8.01 Other Events

On August 31, 2012, Denmark Bancshares, Inc. filed a preliminary proxy statement on Schedule 13e-3 with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The preliminary proxy statement proposes a going-private transaction, which requires DBI's shareholders to approve amendments to DBI's articles of incorporation to establish two separate and distinct classes of its common stock: Class A Common Stock (voting common stock) and Class B Common Stock (non-voting common stock), and to reclassify shares held by certain existing DBI shareholders into shares of Class B Common Stock. DBI expects to hold a special meeting of shareholders during the fourth quarter of this year to vote on the proposed going-private transaction. The primary effect of the proposed going-private transaction will be to reduce the total number of holders of record of any one class of DBI's common stock to below 1,200. The enactment of the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act ("JOBS ACT") authorized bank holding companies with fewer than 1,200 shareholders to deregister their common stock under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. As a result, upon approval of the proposed going-private transaction by DBI's shareholders, DBI would terminate the registration of its stock under federal securities laws and its SEC reporting obligations.

DBI issued a press release on August 31, 2012 to announce the filing of the preliminary proxy statement and the proposed going-private transaction. A copy of the press release is furnished as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated herein by reference.
