ITEM 8.01 OTHER EVENTS
 
In the first quarter of 2006, Heritage Commerce Corp commenced the payment of cash dividends to common stock shareholders. Although the Company remains "well-capitalized" as of March 31, 2009, the Board of Directors has approved a suspension of the payment of cash dividends in view of its desire to preserve the capital of the Company to support its banking activities in the markets it serves during this challenging economy. The Board of Directors will periodically review its position throughout 2009 and into 2010.  

Heritage Commerce Corp is scheduled to present at the D.A. Davidson 11th Annual Financial Services Conference at the Bell Harbor Conference Center in Seattle.  Lawrence D. McGovern, Chief Financial Officer, and Michael R. Ong, Chief Credit Officer, are scheduled to present on Thursday, May 7th at 10:45 a.m. in the Marina Room.  The presentation will be archived for 90 days after the conference, and can be viewed at http://www.wsw.com/webcast/dadco15/htbk/.  D.A. Davidson & Co. is a full-service investment firm with offices in 16 states.
 
Heritage Commerce Corp will hold its Annual Meeting of Shareholders at its Company Headquarters in San Jose, California, on May 28, 2009 at 1:00 p.m. (PDT).
