Item 8.01 Other Events

Explanatory Note:

        On October 23, 2008, a filing agent, Bowne of Boston, mistakenly submitted a Form 8-K live filing for Independent Bank Corporation/MI (CIK: 0000039311) that was actually intended for Independent Bank Corporation/MA (CIK: 0000776901). The incorrect CIK was inserted into the document submitted to the SEC by Bowne of Boston which caused this filing to be erroneously listed under an unaffiliated company. This filing was submitted in error and it should be disregarded. On October 24, 2008, Independent Bank Corporation/MI (CIK: 0000039311) submitted correspondence to the SEC, requesting that the Form 8-K filed and accepted under the accession number 0000950135-08-006637 be deleted from the SEC archives as soon as possible.


SIGNATURE

Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the Registrant has duly caused this report to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned thereunto duly authorized.
