GENERAL

This proxy statement is furnished in connection with the solicitation of proxies by the Board of Directors (the “Board of Directors” or “Board”) of Glen Burnie Bancorp (the “Company”) to be used at the 2009 Annual Meeting of Stockholders of the Company and any adjournments or postponements thereof (hereinafter called the “Annual Meeting”) which will be held at Michael’s Eighth Avenue, 7220 Grayburn Drive, Glen Burnie, Maryland on Thursday, May 14, 2009 at 2:00 p.m., Eastern Time. The accompanying Notice of Annual Meeting and form of proxy and this Proxy Statement are being first mailed to stockholders on or about April 14, 2009.

VOTING AND REVOCABILITY OF PROXIES

Proxies solicited by the Board of Directors of the Company will be voted in accordance with the directions given therein. Where no instructions are given, proxies will be voted for the nominees named below and for the proposal to authorize the Board of Directors to accept the selection of the Audit Committee of an outside auditing firm for the 2009 fiscal year. The proxy confers discretionary authority on the persons named therein to vote with respect to the election of any person as a director where the nominee is unable to serve or for good cause will not serve, and with respect to matters incident to the conduct of the Annual Meeting. If any other business is presented at the Annual Meeting, proxies will be voted by those named therein in accordance with the determination of a majority of the Board of Directors. Proxies marked as abstentions will not be counted as votes cast. In addition, shares held in street name which have been designated by brokers on proxy cards as not voted will not be counted as votes cast. Proxies marked as abstentions or as broker no votes, however, will be treated as shares present for purposes of determining whether a quorum is present.

Stockholders who execute proxies retain the right to revoke them at any time prior to being voted. Unless so revoked, the shares represented by properly executed proxies will be voted at the Annual Meeting and all adjournments thereof. Proxies may be revoked by written notice to Barbara J. Elswick, the Secretary of the Company, at the address above or by the filing of a later dated proxy prior to a vote being taken on a particular proposal at the Annual Meeting. A proxy will not be voted if a stockholder attends the Annual Meeting and votes in person. The presence of a stockholder at the Annual Meeting will not revoke such stockholder’s proxy.

VOTING SECURITIES AND PRINCIPAL HOLDERS THEREOF

The securities entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting consist of the Company’s common stock, par value $1.00 per share (the “Common Stock”). Stockholders of record as of the close of business on April 9, 2009 (the “Record Date”) are entitled to one vote for each share then held. At the Record Date, the Company had 2,670,050 shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding. The presence, in person or by proxy, of at least a majority of the total number of shares of Common Stock outstanding and entitled to vote will be necessary to constitute a quorum at the Annual Meeting. Persons and groups beneficially owning in excess of 5% of the Common Stock are required to file certain reports with respect to such ownership pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”). The following table sets forth, as of the Record Date, certain information as to the Common Stock beneficially owned by all persons who were known to the Company to beneficially own more than 5% of the Common Stock outstanding at the Record Date.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE

The Board of Directors periodically reviews its corporate governance policies and procedures to ensure that the Company meets the highest standards of ethical conduct, reports results with accuracy and transparency, and maintains full compliance with the laws, rules and regulations which govern the Company’s operations.

Meetings and Committees of the Board of Directors

Board of Directors. The Board of Directors consists of twelve members and holds regular monthly meetings and special meetings as needed. During the year ended December 31, 2008, the Board met 12 times. No incumbent director attended fewer than 75% of the total number of meetings of the Board of Directors held during 2008 and the total number of meetings held by all committees on which the director served during such year. Board members are expected to attend the Annual Meeting of Stockholders, and all incumbent directors attended the 2008 Annual Meeting of Stockholders.

- iv -

The Board has numerous committees, each of which meets at scheduled times, including the following committees:

Audit Committee. The Bank’s Audit Committee acts as the audit committee for the Company and currently consists of Directors William N. Scherer, Sr., Shirley E. Boyer, Karen B. Thorwarth, Norman E. Harrison and Thomas Clocker. During the year ended December 31, 2008, the Audit Committee met 16 times.

The Audit Committee monitors internal accounting controls, meets with the Bank’s Internal Auditor to review internal audit findings, recommends independent auditors for appointment by the Board, and meets with the Company’s independent auditors regarding these internal controls to assure full disclosure of the Company’s financial condition. Each member of the Audit Committee is independent, as defined in Rule 4200(a)(15) of the listing standards of the NASD, meets the criteria for independence set forth in Rule 10A-3(b)(1) promulgated under the Exchange Act, and otherwise meets the criteria for Audit Committee membership set forth in applicable NASD rules. In addition, each member of the Audit Committee is able to read and understand fundamental financial statements, including a company’s balance sheet, income statement, and cash flow statement. Additionally at least one member of the Committee has employment experience in finance or accounting and the requisite professional certification in accounting, which results in the individual’s financial sophistication. The Audit Committee does not include an “audit committee financial expert” (as defined in applicable Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) rules), because the Board of Directors believes that the benefits provided by the addition to the Audit Committee of an individual who meets the SEC criteria at this time do not justify the cost of retaining such an individual.

Employee Compensation and Benefits Committee. The Bank’s Employee Compensation and Benefits Committee acts as the compensation committee for the Company and is composed of Directors Shirley E. Boyer, F. William Kuethe, Jr., John E. Demyan, William N. Scherer, Sr., Frederick W. Kuethe, III, Thomas Clocker, Michael G. Livingston, Norman Harrison, and Karen Thorwarth. Messrs. Kuethe, Demyan, Kuethe and Livingston are not independent directors. This Committee met two times during 2008. The purpose of the Compensation Committee is to evaluate and ascertain the appropriateness of compensation levels pertaining to the officers of the Bank other than the Chief Executive Officer and the other executive officers of the Bank. The compensation levels of the Chief Financial Officer is recommended by the Chief Executive Officer for deliberation and approval of the Committee prior to submission to the full Board. The compensation levels of the Chief Executive Officer and the other executive officers of the Bank are reviewed by the full Board of Directors and must be approved by a majority of the independent directors. No executive officer is present during deliberations or voting on his compensation.

Nominations. The independent members of the Company’s Board of Directors acts as a nominating committee for the annual selection of its nominees for election as directors, and the Board held one meeting during 2009 in order to make nominations for directors. The Board has not adopted a charter with respect to the nominating committee function. The Board of Directors believes that the interests of the Company’s shareholders are served by relegating the nominations process to the Board members who are independent from management. While the Board of Directors will consider nominees recommended by stockholders, it has not actively solicited recommendations from the Company’s stockholders for nominees, nor established any procedures for this purpose. In considering prospective nominees, the Board of Directors will consider the prospect’s relevant financial and business experience, familiarity with and participation in the Bank’s market area, the integrity and dedication of the prospect, his independence and other factors the Board deems relevant. The Board of Directors will apply the same criteria to nominees recommended by stockholders as those recommended by the Board. Nominations by stockholders must comply with certain informational requirements set forth in Article III, Section 1 of the Company’s Bylaws. See “Stockholder Proposals” elsewhere in this Proxy Statement.

Director Compensation

Director’s Fees. Currently, all directors are paid a fee of $1,000 for each combined regular or special meeting of the Company and the Bank attended, with fees paid for one excused absence. In addition to the foregoing director’s fees, Mr. Demyan is compensated at the rate of $30,000 per annum for the additional responsibilities of serving as the Chairman of the Board. Directors (other than F. William Kuethe, Jr., Mr. Demyan and Mr. Livingston who receive no fees for committee meetings) are paid an additional $300 chairman fee or $200 member fee, as applicable, for each committee meeting. Directors are also eligible for annual bonuses.

Executive and Director Deferred Compensation Plan. The Bank’s Board of Directors has adopted The Bank of Glen Burnie Executive and Director Deferred Compensation Plan pursuant to which participating directors may elect to defer all or a portion of their fees on a pre-tax basis. Deferred fees are held in a trust account and invested as directed by the participant. Participants are fully vested in their accounts at all times and may elect to have their accounts paid out in a lump sum or in equal installments over a period of five, ten or fifteen years beginning on a date no earlier than three years after the initial deferral election. Upon a participant’s death, any amounts remaining in their account will be paid to their beneficiaries.

- v -

Director Health Plan. All directors have the right to participate in the Bank’s health insurance plan. Under the terms of the plan, the Bank pays 80% of the premiums for participating directors and their spouses.

The following table summarizes the compensation paid to directors other than those included in the Summary Compensation Table below, for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2008:

Transactions with Management

Certain directors, executive officers and significant stockholders of the Company, and members of their immediate families, were depositors, borrowers or customers of the Bank in the ordinary course of business during 2008. Similar transactions are expected to occur in the future. All such transactions were made in the ordinary course of business of the Bank and on substantially the same terms, including interest rates and collateral, as those prevailing at the time for comparable transactions with other persons and did not involve more than the normal risk of collection or present other unfavorable features.

The Bank’s Internal Audit/Compliance Department reviews all loan transactions with directors, officers and employees of the Bank and members of their immediate families to ensure that they are fair and reasonable, on market terms, on an arms-length basis and comply with all applicable regulations including Federal Reserve Board Regulation O which governs such loans. The Internal Audit/Compliance Department also provides the Board of Directors with semi-annual reports of all loans outstanding to employees, officers, and directors which reports are reviewed by the entire Board at a regularly scheduled meeting.

Code of Ethics

The Company has adopted a Code of Business Conduct and Ethics that is designed to promote the highest standards of ethical conduct by the Company’s and the Bank’s directors, executive officers and employees. The Code of Business Conduct and Ethics has been posted on the Bank’s website, www.thebankofglenburnie.com.

- vi -

Communications with the Board

The Board of Directors has not established a formal process for stockholders to send communications to the Board. Due to the infrequency of stockholder communications to the Board, the Board does not believe that a formal process is necessary. Furthermore, all of the Company’s Board members are residents of the communities served by the Bank and where most of the Company’s stockholders reside, and therefore are accessible to the great majority of the Company’s stockholders.

Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance

Pursuant to regulations promulgated under the Exchange Act, the Company’s officers, directors and persons who own more than ten percent of the outstanding Common Stock (“Reporting Person”) are required to file reports detailing their ownership and changes of ownership in such Common Stock, and to furnish the Company with copies of all such reports. Based on the Company’s review of such reports which the Company received during the last fiscal year, or written representations from Reporting Persons that no annual report of change in beneficial ownership was required, the Company believes that, with respect to the last fiscal year, all persons subject to such reporting requirements have complied with the reporting requirements, except for one inadvertent late filing with respect to one purchase by Mr. John E. Demyan.

The following table sets forth information with respect to the beneficial ownership of the shares of Common Stock as of the Record Date by (i) each executive officer of the Company named in the Summary Compensation Table included elsewhere in this Proxy Statement, (ii) each current director and each nominee for election as a director and (iii) all directors and executive officers of the Company as a group.

Change in Control Severance Plan

The Company and the Bank maintain a Change in Control Severance Plan. All employees, including the named executive officers, and Board members of the Company, the Bank and affiliates of the Company or Bank who, on the date of a change in control, are not parties to an employment agreement or change in control severance agreement with the applicable employer, are eligible to participate in the Plan. A “change in control” is defined as any one of the following events: (i) the acquisition of ownership, holding or power to vote more than 25% of the Company’s voting stock, (ii) the acquisition of the ability to control the election of a majority of the Bank’s or the Company’s directors, (iii) the acquisition of a controlling influence over the management or policies of the Bank or the Company by any person or by persons acting as a “group” (within the meaning of Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act, or (iv) during any period of two consecutive years, individuals who at the beginning of such period constitute the board of directors of the Bank or the Company (excluding individuals whose election or nomination for election as a member of the existing board was approved by a vote of at least two-thirds of the continuing directors then in office) cease for any reason to constitute at least two-thirds thereof.

- viii -

Under the terms of the Plan, in the event the individual voluntarily terminates his employment within two years following a change in control, or in the event the individual’s employment is terminated by the Bank (or its successor) for any reason, other than cause, within two years following a change in control, the individual is entitled to receive the benefits specified in the Plan based on the individual’s position with the employer and, in some instances, years of service on the date of the change in control. The payment will be made either in a lump sum or in installments, at the option of the individual. Under the Plan, upon a change in control Mr. Livingston would receive an amount equal to the aggregate present value of 2.99 times his average annual taxable compensation from the Company for the prior five complete years, and Mr. Porter would receive an amount equal to 130 weeks of his gross weekly salary as of the date of termination. In addition, Mr. Porter would receive $10,000 toward the premiums for his COBRA medical insurance coverage following the termination of employment if he elects to receive COBRA benefits. The aggregate present value of Mr. Porter’s cash payment and COBRA benefits may not exceed 2.99 times his average annual taxable compensation from the Company for the prior five complete years.

If change in control payments would be triggered today, the named executive officers would receive the following amounts: Mr. Livingston, $435,724, and Mr. Porter, $237,049 plus $10,000 toward COBRA coverage.

Employee Stock Purchase Plan

All employees, including the named executive officers, are eligible to participate in the Company’s Employee Stock Purchase Plan at levels determined by the Bank’s human resources department and commensurate with each employee’s salary level. The Board believes that by making shares of the Company’s stock available to employees at a discounted price, employees become vested in the successful financial performance of the Bank and the Company.
