Section 8-Other Events
Item 8.01 Other Events.
As previously announced, WSB Holdings, Inc. (the Company) entered into an agreement and plan of merger with Old Line Bancshares, Inc. (Old Line Bancshares) on September 10, 2012 and, on September 27, 2012, Rosalie Jones, both individually and on behalf of a putative class of WSBs stockholders, filed a complaint in the Circuit Court for Prince Georges County, Maryland, seeking to enjoin and otherwise attacking the transactions contemplated by that merger agreement. On February 5, 2013, all parties to this litigation reached a tentative settlement of all claims asserted on behalf of the alleged class of the Companys stockholders in this litigation and entered into a memorandum of understanding relating thereto (the MOU). The MOU contemplates that (i) the litigation and all claims asserted in such litigation will be dismissed, subject to court approval, (ii) the Company and Old Line Bancshares will make certain additional disclosures related to the merger in the joint proxy statement/prospectus with respect to the special meetings to approve the merger agreement, and (iii) the parties will enter into a stipulation of settlement, which will be subject to customary conditions, including confirmatory discovery and court approval following notice to the Companys stockholders. If the parties enter into a stipulation of settlement, a hearing will be scheduled at which the court will consider the fairness, reasonableness and adequacy of the settlement. Because the ultimate enforceability of the MOU is dependent on the parties entry into a stipulation of settlement and approval by the court, there can be no assurance that the parties will ultimately settle the claims made in the litigation or that, if a settlement is reached, that the terms thereof will be the same as those contemplated by the MOU.

This report is not a substitute for the joint proxy statement/prospectus or any other document that the Company or Old Line Bancshares has filed or may file with the SEC or has sent or may send to its stockholders in connection with the proposed merger.
INVESTORS AND STOCKHOLDERS ARE URGED TO READ THE JOINT PROXY STATEMENT/PROSPECTUS AND ALL OTHER RELEVANT DOCUMENTS THAT HAVE BEEN OR MAY BE FILED WITH THE SEC OR SENT TO STOCKHOLDERS, INCLUDING THE DEFINITIVE PROXY STATEMENT, AS THEY BECOME AVAILABLE BECAUSE THEY CONTAIN AND WILL CONTAIN IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT THE PROPOSED MERGER, INCLUDING A DESCRIPTION OF THE INTERESTS IN THE MERGER OF CERTAIN OF THE COMPANYS EXECUTIVE OFFICERS AND DIRECTORS
. All such documents, when filed, are available free of charge at the SECs website (www.sec.gov) or by directing a request, in the case of the Company, to Carol Ramey at (301) 352-3120.

Forward-Looking Statements
This report contains statements about settlement of the referenced litigation which constitutes forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These forward-looking statements are based upon the current beliefs and expectations of the Company and Old Line Bancshares and are inherently subject to significant business, economic and competitive uncertainties and contingencies, many of which are beyond the control of the Company or Old Line Bancshares. In addition, these forward-looking statements are subject to assumptions with respect to future business strategies and decisions that are subject to change. Actual results may differ materially from the anticipated results discussed in these forward-looking statements because of numerous possible uncertainties. Factors that could contribute to those differences include, but are not limited to, the failure of the parties to agree on attorneys fees, the plaintiffs assertion that additional disclosures are required based on the confirmatory discovery to be conducted in accordance with the MOU, or the failure of the court to approve any settlement the parties may reach.
The Company cautions that the foregoing list of factors is not exclusive. All subsequent written and oral forward-looking statements concerning the proposed merger or other matters attributable to the Company, Old Line Bancshares, or any person acting on their behalf, are expressly qualified in their entirety by the cautionary statements above. The Company does not undertake any obligation to update any forward-looking statement to reflect circumstances or events that occur after the date the forward-looking statements are made.
