Shares of Bancorp 34, Inc. common stock trade on the OTCQB market under the symbol “BCTF.” Information about
Bancorp 34, Inc. stock price and trading activities are available at: https://www.otcmarkets.com/stock/BCTF/quote.
In August 2020, Bancorp 34, Inc. voluntarily delisted its common stock from the NASDAQ Capital Market and
withdrew the registration of its common stock with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) under
the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). The Company is no longer obligated to file
periodic reports with the SEC, including reports on Forms 10-K, 10-Q, 8-K and proxies.
The decision to delist and deregister its common stock was based on numerous factors, including
the significant cost savings of no longer filing periodic reports with the SEC, as well as reductions in
accounting fees, legal fees and other costs.
The Company’s annual consolidated financial statements will continue to be audited by an
independent accounting firm and intends to publish quarterly and annual financial information via press
releases or by postings on Bank 34’s website: www.Bank34.com. Bank 34 will continue to report detailed quarterly financial results
to its primary federal regulator through Call Reports, which are publicly available on the FDIC’s website:
www.fdic.gov.
Please call or write to Mr. Jan R. Thiry, Executive Vice President & Chief Financial Officer,
at BCTF@bank34.com for
investor-related information. For those investors working with a broker, your broker may provide proxy,
annual report and other information to you. We are happy to include you in our updates if you call us with
your direct contact information.
The Conversion
On October 11, 2016, Alamogordo Financial Corp., organized in 1997 as a federal savings and loan holding
company, (previously OTCQB “ALMG“), reorganized into a fully public stock holding company, Bancorp 34, Inc.,
pursuant to the terms of a Plan of Conversion and Reorganization (the “Plan of Conversion”). AF Mutual
Holding Company sold its majority ownership in Alamogordo Financial Corp. in a “second-step” stock offering,
that was oversubscribed by Bank 34 depositors as of December 31, 2014 and the bank’s Employee Stock
Ownership Plan. Simultaneously, Bank 34, which was in the mutual holding company structure, became a
wholly-owned subsidiary of Bancorp 34, Inc. Under the Plan of Conversion, each share of common stock of
Alamogordo Financial Corp. held by persons other than AF Mutual Holding Company on the closing date were
entitled to 2.0473 shares of common stock of Bancorp 34, Inc. No fractional shares are issued. For each
fractional share that otherwise would have been issued, Bancorp 34 will pay cash an amount equal to the
product obtained by multiplying the fractional share interest by the $10.00 per share offering price. The
final prospectus containing detailed information relating to the Plan of Conversion, details of the related
stock offering, and business and financial information about Bancorp 34, Inc. through June 2020 is available
through the SEC’s EDGAR System.
