Item 8.01 Other Events

On May 4, 2009, BankUnited Financial Corporation (the “Company”) held an annual meeting of stockholders, pursuant to a court order issued by the state circuit court for Miami-Dade County, Florida, and described below. At the annual meeting, Ramiro A. Ortiz and Marc D. Jacobson were re-elected as directors of the Company. Mr. Ortiz, age 59, has been a director since 2002. He has served as the President and Chief Operating Officer of the Company and its subsidiary, BankUnited, FSB (the “Bank”) since 2002, and as Chief Executive Officer of the Company and the Bank since October 2008. Mr. Jacobson, age 66, has been a director since 1984. He has served as a senior officer of Brown and Brown Insurance, and its predecessors, since 1990.

Humberto L. Lopez and Felix M. Garcia were also elected as directors of the Company at the annual meeting. Mr. Lopez, age 49, has served as the Senior Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer of the Company and the Bank since 1999. Mr. Garcia, age 59, has served as Senior Executive Vice President and Chief Risk Officer of the Bank since 2003.

Messrs. Ortiz, Jacobson, Lopez and Garcia were elected for three-year terms that expire in 2012. The three-year terms of directors Hardy C. Katz and Tod Aronovitz expired on May 4, 2009, and they were not re-elected.

As a result of the annual meeting, the persons serving as directors of the Company, and their current terms, are as follows:

On May 4, 2009, the Company issued a press release announcing the election of directors at the annual meeting. A copy of the Company’s press release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.

The annual meeting was required by a court order, issued April 22, 2009 and amended April 24, 2009, entered in an action filed by a stockholder of the Company to compel the holding of the meeting. The court ordered the Company to hold its annual meeting of stockholders on May 4, 2009 and to send a notice to stockholders in the form provided in the court’s order. The Company complied with the court order by promptly sending the notice of the meeting to stockholders and holding the annual meeting. The Company did not solicit proxies in connection with the annual meeting. Additionally, the Company did not provide stockholders with an information statement because the Company did not have sufficient time to prepare such statement in light of the limited period of time between the date of the court order and the required date of the annual meeting. The only business conducted at the meeting was the election of directors, as described above.
