Item 3.01

Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continuing Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing

On April 3, 2014, Territorial Bancorp Inc. (the “Company”) received a letter from the Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) notifying the Company that it was no longer in compliance with Nasdaq Rule 5250(c)(1) related to the filing of periodic financial reports with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The issuance of the letter is based upon the Company not filing its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2013 (the “2013 Form 10-K”) on or before the extended due date of April 1, 2014.

The issuance of the letter has no immediate effect on the listing of the Company’s common stock. In order to maintain its listing, the Company must submit a plan of compliance by June 2, 2014 addressing how it intends to regain compliance with Rule 5250(c)(1). The Company intends to file the 2013 Form 10-K prior to that date, and believes that filing the 2013 Form 10-K by June 2, 2014 will bring the Company into compliance.
