EXPLANATORY NOTE

This Form 8-K/A is being filed as an amendment (“Amendment No. 1”) to the Current Report on Form 8-K filed by Savannah Bancorp, Inc. (the “Company”) with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on April 26, 2011. The purpose of this Amendment No. 1 is to disclose the Company’s decision as to how frequently it plans to conduct future shareholder advisory votes regarding compensation awarded to its named executive officers. As a small reporting company, the Company voluntarily elected to ask the shareholders to vote on a non-binding advisory basis on executive compensation and the frequency of future advisory votes on executive compensation.

ITEM 5.07. SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS

At the Company’s 2011 Annual Meeting of Shareholders, the shareholders voted, on a non-binding advisory basis, to select the option of “every three years” for future advisory votes on executive compensation.

In accordance with the shareholder voting results and the Board of Directors’ recommendation in the Proxy Statement for the 2011 Annual Meeting, the Company’s Board of Directors determined at a meeting held on October 18, 2011 that future shareholder non-binding advisory votes on executive compensation will occur every three years. Accordingly, the next shareholder non-binding advisory vote on executive compensation will be held at the Company’s 2014 Annual Meeting of Shareholders.
