Section 8 – OTHER EVENTS

Item 8.01 – OTHER EVENTS

On May 3, 2012, the Board of Directors of Pioneer Bankshares, Inc. ( the “Company”) held a special meeting and voted to file a Form 15 terminating the registration of the Company’s Common Stock under Section 12(g) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”). The Company is relying on Section 12(g)(4) of the Exchange Act, as amended by the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act, which was enacted on April 5, 2012, to terminate its duty with respect to its class of shares of Common Stock. The Section 12(g) deregistration will become effective 90 days after the filing of the Form 15, and thereafter the Company will have no further reporting obligations under the Exchange Act. Until the date of termination, the Company is required to file all reports as required by the Exchange Act Sections 13(a), 14, and 16. Based on the date of the Form 15 filing and the designated 90 day termination period, the Company anticipates that its reporting responsibilities under the Exchange Act will cease on or about August 2, 2012. This deregistration is expected to provide substantial cost savings for the Company in the form of reduced audit, legal, and regulatory filing expense, as well as enabling the Company to focus more on operational and financial objectives.
