Item 1.01 Entry Into a Material Definitive Agreement.
 
On April 15, 2010, Bay National Bank (the “Bank”), the wholly-owned subsidiary of Bay National Corporation, entered into a Purchase and Assumption Agreement (the “Agreement”) with Hebron Savings Bank (“Hebron”), a Maryland-chartered commercial bank, pursuant to which Hebron will purchase certain of the assets of and assume certain of the liabilities of the Bank’s branch located at 109 Poplar Hill Avenue, Salisbury, Maryland (the “Branch”).  The Agreement provides that Hebron will purchase certain loans originated at the Branch, which loans constitute approximately 36% of the Branch’s loan portfolio, and will assume all of the Branch’s deposit accounts (except for non-IRA fiduciary accounts) (“Core Accounts”) and all certificates of deposits originating at the Branch or owned by customers whose accounts are maintained at the Branch, which totaled approximately $21.2 million at March 31, 2010.  Hebron will pay a premium of 3.0% of the Core Accounts, which totaled approximately $13.5 million at March 31, 2010.
 
Pursuant to the Agreement, the Bank agreed to assist Hebron in the transfer of Branch employees to whom Hebron offers employment, and notification of Branch customers of the transfer of their accounts or loans to Hebron.
 
The Agreement provides that the transactions contemplated thereby shall be consummated on or before August 27, 2010, which date may be extended by the Bank’s and Hebron’s mutual agreement to a date no later than September 30, 2010.  Closing of the transaction is dependent upon receipt of applicable regulatory approvals.
 
The Bank’s and Hebron’s joint press release announcing the Agreement, dated April 19, 2010, is attached to this Report as Exhibit 99.1.
