EXPLANATORY NOTE

DEREGISTRATION OF SECURITIES

On January 16, 2009, Bank of Marin Bancorp (the “Registrant”) filed a Form S-3 (File No. 333-156782 ) (the “S-3”), registering with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), a total of 28,000 shares of its Fixed Rate Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock, Series B, no par value (hereinafter referred to as the “Series B Preferred Shares” or the “Series B Preferred Stock”), a warrant to purchase 154,242 shares of common stock, (the “Warrant”) and any shares of common stock issuable from time to time upon exercise of the Warrant (the “Warrant Shares”), all in connection with the Registrant’s participation in the Capital Purchase Program (“CPP”), authorized under the Troubled Asset Relief Program (“TARP”), as is documented by the letter agreement entered into by and between the Registrant and the United States Treasury (the “Treasury”), dated December 5, 2008 (collectively, the “TARP Transaction”).

On March 31, 2009, the Registrant executed a letter agreement with Treasury (the “Letter Agreement”) and terminated its participation in the CPP by returning the funds received from Treasury in exchange for cancelled share certificates representing the Series B Preferred Shares originally purchased by Treasury in the TARP Transaction (the “Repurchase Transaction”). Specifically, the Registrant returned to the Treasury a total of $28,178,888.89, which includes the original investment amount of $28,000,000 plus accrued but unpaid dividends of $178,888.89, and received in return, and cancelled, the share certificate for the Series B Preferred Shares. In addition, the Registrant opted not to repurchase the Warrant or the Warrant Shares from Treasury.

As a result of the Repurchase Transaction, all Series B Preferred Shares were cancelled. Therefore, the Registrant, by way of Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 to the S-3, withdrew the Series B Preferred Shares from the S-3.

On November 23, 2011, Treasury sold the Warrant, as adjusted pursuant to the terms thereof, in a private placement transaction (the “Warrant Sale”). In connection with the Warrant Sale, Treasury retained, and did not transfer, the registration rights relating to the Warrant. As such, there is no need for the Warrant or the Warrant Shares to remain as registered securities.

Accordingly, the Registrant is filing this Post-Effective Amendment No. 2 to the S-3 to terminate the effectiveness of the S-3 and remove from registration any and all securities of the Registrant under the S-3 previously registered but unsold, in accordance with the undertakings made by the Registrant in Part II of the S-3 to remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered that remain unsold at the termination of the offering.
