First National Bank Holding Company Announces Intent to Deregister as a Reporting Company with the SEC

Livingston County, MI. First National Bank, the only financial institution headquartered in Livingston County, announced today that the Board of Directors of its holding company, FNBH Bancorp, Inc. (the "Company") (OTCBB: FNHM), approved the voluntary deregistration of the Company as a reporting company with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC").

The Company intends to file a Form 15 with the SEC on or about May 4, 2015 in order to suspend the registration of common stock under Section 12 of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act") and expects the deregistration to become effective 90 days after the Form 15 is filed. At such time, the Company's periodic reporting obligations under Sections 13 and 15(d) of the Exchange Act would be suspended, including its obligations to file annual reports on Form 10-K, quarterly reports on Form 10-Q, and current reports on Form 8-K. The Company’s common stock will continue to be quoted and traded under the symbol “FNHM” on the OTCBB.

The Company’s decision to deregister the common stock follows the adoption of the federal Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act (the “JOBS Act”), which, among other things, allows bank holding companies to deregister with the SEC if they have fewer than 1,200 shareholders of record. The Company’s Board of Directors authorized the deregistration after concluding that the consequences of remaining an SEC reporting company, including the significant costs associated with regulatory compliance, outweighed the current benefits of remaining as a reporting company. The Board of Directors believes that the expense reductions inherent in deregistering its stock will benefit the Company and its shareholders and serve to maximize the long-term value of the Company. The Company will continue to be audited by an independent accounting firm. First National Bank will continue to report detailed quarterly financial results to the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation via its Call Reports, which are publicly available on the FDIC’s website at www.fdic.gov.
