Lincoln Park Bancorp Announces Filing of Form 15 to Deregister Its Common Stock

LINCOLN PARK, N.J., July 21 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Lincoln Park Bancorp (the "Company"), the holding company for Lincoln Park Savings Bank, announced today that it is filing a Form 15 with the Securities and Exchange Commission to deregister its common stock.

The Company expects the deregistration to be effective within 90 days after the filing of the Form 15. The Company's obligations to file with the SEC certain reports and forms, including Form 10-K, Form 10-Q and Form 8-K, are suspended immediately as of the filing date of the Form 15.

Commenting on the announcement, David Baker, President and Chief Executive Officer, said, "The decision by the board of the directors of the Company to deregister was made after careful consideration of the advantages and disadvantages of being a public company and the high costs and demands on management time arising from compliance with the many SEC and Sarbanes-Oxley requirements. The board took into consideration the small number of Company stockholders and the relatively low level of trading in the Company's common stock. We believe deregistration will be a significant benefit to the Company by reducing expenses and permitting management to focus its energies on operating the bank."

Lincoln Park Savings Bank is a New Jersey state-chartered savings bank that conducts its business from its main office in Lincoln Park, New Jersey. The Company's common stock is traded on the OTC Bulletin Board under the symbol "LPBC".
