On April 22, 2021, NorthWest Indiana Bancorp (the “Bancorp”), the holding company for its Indiana state-chartered commercial bank subsidiary Peoples Bank, announced that it has submitted an application to list its common stock on the NASDAQ Capital Market®. The Bancorp currently expects that the NASDAQ will make a decision on the Bancorp’s application by the end of May 2021. The Bancorp’s common shares will continue to be quoted on the OTC Pink Marketplace until such time as the shares may be listed on the NASDAQ Capital Market®, if the Bancorp’s application is approved by the NASDAQ.

 

In connection with the submission of the listing application discussed above, the Bancorp issued a press release. A copy of the press release is attached as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated by reference herein.

 

 

This Current Report on Form 8-K may contain forward-looking statements regarding the matters discussed herein. For these statements, the Bancorp claims the protections of the safe harbor for forward-looking statements contained in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Statements in this report should be considered in conjunction with the other information available about the Bancorp, including the information in the filings the Bancorp makes with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Forward-looking statements provide current expectations or forecasts of future events and are not guarantees of future performance. The forward-looking statements are based on management’s expectations and are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties. Forward-looking statements are typically identified by using words such as “anticipate,” “estimate,” “project,” “intend,” “plan,” “believe,” “will” and similar expressions.

 

Although management believes that the expectations reflected in such forward-looking statements are reasonable, actual results may differ materially from those expressed or implied in such statements. In addition to matters discussed in this report, additional factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed in the forward-looking statements are discussed in the Bancorp’s reports (such as the Annual Report on Form 10-K, Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, and Current Reports on Form 8-K) filed with the SEC and available at the SEC’s Internet website (www.sec.gov). Except as required by law, the Bancorp does not undertake any obligation to update any forward-looking statement to reflect circumstances or events that occur after the date the forward-looking statement is made.
