Item 8.01. Other Events.

On July 13, 2012, West Suburban Bancorp, Inc. (the “Company”) filed a Form 15 with the Securities and Exchange Commission to deregister the Company’s common stock under Section 12(g)(4) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended by the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act (as amended, the “Exchange Act”). The Section 12(g) deregistration will become effective in 90 days, or such shorter period as determined by the Securities and Exchange Commission. Based on the filing date of the Form 15, the Company does not expect to have any further reporting obligations under the Exchange Act after October 11, 2012. Until the Section 12(g) deregistration is effective, the Company will continue to file all reports as required by the Exchange Act Sections 13(a), 14, and 16. The Company expects the deregistration to provide substantial cost savings in the form of reduced audit, legal and filing expenses and other costs related to complying with the Exchange Act.
