Item 8.01 Other Events.

On March 8, 2013, Charles S. Loring, a director of the Registrant and of Unity Bank, the Registrant’s wholly-owned subsidiary (the “Bank”), passed away.  Mr. Loring was a founding director of the Bank, and has served on the Board of the Company since its inception in 1994.  Mr. Loring’s service to the Registrant and the Bank has been invaluable. 

At the time of his death, the Registrant’s proxy statement was already in production, and lists Mr. Loring as a continuing director. Unfortunately, the Registrant was unable to make the necessary revisions to the proxy statement prior to its distribution to shareholders, and is filing this 8-K to eliminate any confusion
