Item 8.01 Other Events.

BCB Bancorp, Inc. (the "Company") recently became aware that a complaint had been filed on July 9, 2009 in the Superior Court of New Jersey in Hudson County against the Company, Pamrapo Bancorp, Inc. ("Pamrapo") and each of Pamrapo's directors.

The action, which seeks class certification, was brought by Keith Kube, a purported shareholder of the Company, on behalf of himself and all others similarly situated. The complaint alleges, among other things, that the directors of Pamrapo are in breach of their fiduciary duties to shareholders in connection with the Pamrapo's entry into an agreement and plan of merger, dated as of June 29, 2009, with the Company (the "Agreement"), pursuant to which the Pamrapo will merge with and into the Company, with the Company as the surviving corporation.

The complaint seeks, among other things, for the Court to enjoin the defendants from consummating the transactions contemplated by the Agreement and to award the plaintiff attorneys' fees and expenses incurred in bringing the lawsuit.

The Company believes that the allegations in the complaint are without merit and intend to vigorously defend against the claims and causes of action asserted in this legal matter.
