Item 8.01. Other Items

As previously disclosed in a Form 8-K (the “Previous 8-K”) filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on October 10, 2014, Greer Bancshares Incorporated (the “Company”) began the process of terminating the registration of its common stock and ceasing filing reports with the SEC under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). On March 4, 2015 the Company received notice from the SEC that the SEC will not object if the Company stops filing periodic and current reports under the Exchange Act, including its annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014. In reaching this position, the SEC noted that Greer Bancshares has filed post-effective amendments removing from registration unsold securities under the Company’s effective registration statements on Form S-8, and such post-effective amendments are effective. In addition, the SEC assumed that the Company will file a certification on Form 15 making an appropriate claim under Exchange Act Rule 12h-3 on or before the due date of the Company’s Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014. The Company has filed this Form 15 concurrently with this Form 8-K, and thus the Company’s de-registration is effective and the Company will cease filing reports and proxy statements with the SEC.

As disclosed in the Previous 8-K, the Company expects to periodically disseminate to shareholders information as to its financial position and financial performance. The Company will continue to provide audited financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles to its shareholders on an annual basis. The Company also will make unaudited financial information available to its shareholders on a quarterly basis. The Company’s subsidiary, Greer State Bank, will continue to file publicly available Call Reports with the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation.

Forward-looking statements (statements which are not historical facts) in this report are made pursuant to the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. For this purpose, any statements contained herein that are not statements of historical fact may be deemed to be forward-looking statements. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, words such as “may,” “will,” “to,” “expect,” “believe,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “could,” “would,” “estimate,” or “continue” or the negative or other variations thereof or comparable terminology are intended to identify forward-looking statements. These statements are based on information currently available to the Company, and the Company assumes no obligation to update these statements as circumstances change. Investors are cautioned that all forward-looking statements involve risk and uncertainties, including changes in general economic and financial market conditions, unforeseen problems, and the Company's ability to execute its business plans. The actual results of future events could differ materially from those stated in any forward-looking statements herein.
