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

On January 2, 2018, SBT Bancorp, Inc. (the “Company”) issued a press release announcing that effective as of January 2, 2018, the Company voluntarily transferred the listing of the Company’s common stock, no par value per share (the “Common Stock”), to the OTC Pink marketplace from the OTCQX marketplace in order to reduce expenses associated with the listing of the Company’s Common Stock.

A copy of the press release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.

Item 8.01 Other Events.

On January 2, 2018, the Company issued a press release announcing that on January 2, 2018, the Company filed a Form 15 with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) to deregister the Company’s Common Stock under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and suspend its obligations to file reports with the SEC. The Company was eligible to file the Form 15 because the Company’s Common Stock was held by less than 1,200 holders of record as of January 1, 2018 and upon the filing of the Form 15 with the SEC. As a result of the filing of the Form 15 with the SEC, the obligations of the Company to file periodic reports, including Forms 10-K, 10-Q and 8-K were immediately suspended except that the Company will file a Form 10-K for its 2017 fiscal year within the time frame prescribed by the SEC’s rules and regulations. The Company expects the deregistration to become effective 90 days after January 2, 2018, which is the date that the Form 15 was filed. During this 90 day period, the Company and certain beneficial owners of the Company’s Common Stock will remain subject to the SEC’s proxy rules and beneficial ownership reporting requirements.

A copy of the press release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.

Forward-Looking Statements

Certain statements contained in this Current Report on Form 8-K that are not historical facts may constitute “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and are intended to be covered by the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These statements, which are based on certain assumptions and describe the Company’s future plans, strategies and expectations, can generally be identified by the use of words such as “may,” “will,” “should,” “could,” “would,” “plan,” “believe,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “estimate” or words of similar meaning. These forward-looking statements include statements relating to the Company’s anticipated future financial performance, projected growth, and management’s long-term performance goals, as well as statements relating to the anticipated effects on results of operations and financial condition from developments or events and the Company’s business and growth strategies.

These forward-looking statements are subject to significant risks, assumptions and uncertainties, and could be affected by many factors. The following, which is not intended to be an all-encompassing list of risks and uncertainties affecting the Company, summarizes several factors that could cause the Company’s actual results to differ materially from those anticipated or expected in these forward-looking statements: economic conditions (both generally and in the Company’s markets) being less favorable than expected; a general decline in the real estate and lending market; inaccuracies in management’s assumptions used in calculating the appropriate amount to be placed into the Company’s allowance for loan and lease losses; restrictions or conditions imposed by regulators on the Company’s operations; legislative and regulatory changes that may subject the Company to additional regulatory oversight; changes in accounting standards, including, without limitation, a new standard on determining the amount of the allowance for credit losses, and compliance requirements; competitive pressures among depository and other financial institutions increasing significantly; changes in the interest rate environment; competitors having greater financial resources and developing products that enable them to compete more successfully than the Company can; the Company’s ability to attract and retain key personnel; adverse changes occurring in the equity markets; war or terrorist activities causing further deterioration in the economy or instability in credit markets; and economic, governmental or other factors that may prevent the projected population and residential and commercial growth in the markets in which the Company operates.

As a result of these and a wide variety of other uncertainties, many of which are beyond the Company’s control, the Company’s actual future results may be materially different from the results indicated by these forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date on which they are made. The Company does not undertake any obligation to update any forward-looking statement to reflect circumstances or events that occur after the date the forward-looking statements are made.
