Item 3.01.  Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing
 
On November 23, 2009, First Federal of Northern Michigan Bancorp, Inc. (the “Company”) received written notice from The Nasdaq Stock Market (“Nasdaq”) notifying the Company that it is currently not in compliance with Nasdaq’s continued listing requirement for listing on the Nasdaq Global Market under Marketplace Rule 5450(b)(1)(C) (the “MVPHS Rule”) because the value of its publicly held shares dropped below $5,000,000 for 30 consecutive business days. In accordance with Marketplace Rule 5810(c)(3)(D), the Company has until February 22, 2010 to regain compliance with the MVPHS Rule or be subject to delisting from the Nasdaq Global Market. If, prior to February 22, 2010, the market value of the Company’s publicly held shares of common stock exceeds $5,000,000 for at least 10 consecutive business days, the Nasdaq will provide written confirmation of compliance and the matter will be closed.
 
If compliance with the MVPHS Rule cannot be established prior to February 22, 2010, the Company’s common stock will be subject to delisting from the Nasdaq Global Market. The Company may, however, be eligible for listing on The Nasdaq Capital Market.
 
The Company intends to evaluate all its options with respect to the listing of its common stock, including the transfer of the listing of its common stock to the Nasdaq Capital Market.
 
The Company issued a press release on November 27, 2009 that disclosed its receipt of this notice from Nasdaq. A copy of the press release is furnished herewith as Exhibit 99.1.
