Item 3.01 Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing.

On June 4, 2009, the Board of Directors of United PanAm Financial Corp. (“UPFC”) adopted a resolution to cause the listing of the UPFC Common Stock to be withdrawn from the NASDAQ Global Select Market (“NASDAQ”). UPFC is eligible to deregister its securities because it has fewer than 300 holders of record.

UPFC also issued a press release on June 4, 2009 announcing its voluntary delisting from NASDAQ and its intention to file with the Securities and Exchange Commission, on or about July 3, 2009 a Form 25 and approximately ten (10) days afterwards, a Form 15. Upon filing the Form 15, UPFC’s Common Stock will no longer be quoted on the NASDAQ Global Select Market and instead will be eligible for quotation on the Pink Sheets Electronic Quotation Service to the extent broker-dealers commit to make a market in UPFC’s Common Stock. The Pink Sheets is a centralized quotation service that collects and publishes market maker quotes in real time, primarily through its website at www.pinksheets.com. UPFC can provide no assurance that any broker-dealer will make a market in UPFC’s Common Stock, which is a requirement for Pink Sheet quotation.

A copy of the Company’s press release containing this information is being furnished as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.
