Item 8.01 Other Events.

On April 26, 2019, Central Federal Bancshares, Inc. (the “Company”), the parent company of Central Federal Savings and Loan Association of Rolla, issued a press release announcing the Company’s filing of a Form 15 with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) to deregister the Company’s common stock under Section 12(g) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) and suspend its obligations to file periodic reports with the SEC. As a savings and loan holding company, the Company is eligible to file Form 15 because the Company’s common stock was held by fewer than 1,200 holders of record as of April 26, 2019 and upon the filing of the Form 15 with the SEC. As a result of the filing of the Form 15, the obligations of the Company to file periodic reports, including Forms 10-K, 10-Q, and 8-K, are immediately suspended. Central Federal Savings and Loan Association of Rolla will continue to report detailed quarterly financial results to its regulators.

The Company expects the deregistration to become effective 90 days after April 26, 2019, which is the date of the Form 15 filing with the SEC. 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 announcing the Form 15 filing described above is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.
