Exhibit 99
QUARTERLY REPORT TO STOCKHOLDERS
2016 THIRD QUARTER

First Mid Announces:

Completion of First Clover Leaf Financial Corp. Acquisition and Retention of Market Team
Growth in Net Income, Earnings Per Share, and Dividends Per Share
Continued Strong Asset Quality Metrics
Increased Daily Trading Volume and Enhanced Liquidity in First Mid Stock

We continue to execute on our strategic plan: solid financial performance, strong organic loan growth, completion of an acquisition that expands our metro St. Louis presence, and improving stock liquidity. It has been a very busy and productive quarter.

As highlighted, we successfully completed the acquisition of First Clover Leaf Financial Corp. and its subsidiary bank First Clover Leaf Bank, N.A. (“First Clover Leaf”). We closed on September 8 and are excited by the community reception and future growth prospects this market presents. First Clover Leaf has operated in the St Louis metro-east market for many years. Our higher combined legal lending limit, the additional products and services First Mid can provide, and the strength of our combined teams makes us a stronger community banking partner. We are delighted that we have retained an experienced executive banking team, and Mary Schwartz Westerhold, who had previously served on the board of First Clover Leaf, has been appointed to the board of First Mid. Planning for the operating system conversion and combination of the First Clover Leaf Bank, N.A. into First Mid-Illinois Bank and Trust, N.A. is underway and we expect to complete this late in the first quarter of 2017, pending regulatory approval.

As you review the quarter-end financial statements, you will see many items on the balance sheet, income statement, and performance ratios that are impacted by the acquisition. First Clover Leaf Bank had $668 million in assets including $442 million in loans and $534 million in deposits as of September 30, 2016. The 2016 and 2015 financial reports include operating results for the 12 Southern Illinois banking centers acquired from Old National Bancorp on August 14, 2015 and operating results from the Illiana Insurance Agency acquired on December 1, 2015. In addition, 2016 results include $785,000 in acquisition costs for First Clover Leaf and their operating results since acquisition. Net income before taxes was also positively impacted by $297,000 due to the First Clover Leaf purchase accounting accretion and amortization for the third quarter of 2016, net of amortization expense of intangibles.

Our financial results continue to deliver higher net income, earnings and dividends per share in 2016. Net income for the first nine months of 2016 increased 27% to $15,043,000 compared to $11,858,000 for the same period last year. On a per share basis, diluted earnings per share were $1.50 for the first nine months of 2016 compared to $1.33 for the same period in 2015. Dividends per share were $.46 compared to $.29 for the same period last year including the special pro-rated dividend of $.16 that was paid prior to the First Clover Leaf closing. 2016 year-to-date (YTD) net income increased due to greater net interest income with growth in earning assets from the First Clover Leaf acquisition and strong loan growth in our legacy markets. Also, non-interest income increased with greater revenues from insurance, brokerage and electronic services.

YTD net interest income totaled $49.7 million compared to $40.0 million for the same period last year while the third quarter of 2016 was $17.6 million compared to $14.0 million for the third quarter of 2015. The increase in net interest income is primarily due to the growth in earning assets including loans and investments. Loan balances increased to $1.81 billion as of September 30, 2016 compared to $1.28 billion at year-end and $1.24 billion last September. $442 million of the increase in 2016 resulted from the First Clover Leaf acquisition and loan balances have increased by $83 million or 5% in 2016 from the legacy First Mid locations. We had solid growth in the third quarter of 2016 as loan balances from the legacy markets increased by $49 million. The growth was primarily in commercial operating and commercial real estate loans. In addition, investment balances increased over the past year as we invested the cash received from the Old National branch acquisition. Our deposit balances increased to $2.27 billion as of September 30, 2016 compared to $1.73 billion as of year-end and $1.73 billion last September. $534 million of the increase resulted from the First Clover Leaf acquisition. Deposit balances in our legacy markets have essentially been flat since year-end although balances increased by $26.6 million during the third quarter of 2016 with growth in checking account balances. We had higher liquidity levels for most of the first nine months of 2016 as we deployed the cash from the branch acquisition. The higher liquidity levels and pressure on investment yields from intermediate-term interest rates moving lower during the first nine months of 2016 reduced the net interest margin on a tax equivalent basis (TE)(5). The net interest margin (TE), a non-GAAP metric, for the first nine months of 2016 was 3.38% compared to 3.40% for the same period last year. The net interest margin (TE) for the third quarter of 2016 was 3.40% compared to 3.37% for the second quarter of 2016 and 3.23% for the third quarter of 2015. The ratio was modestly higher due to loan growth and the inclusion of the First Clover Leaf acquisition purchase accounting amortization.



2016 YTD provision expense for the nine months ended September 30 was $1.9 million compared to $.9 million for the same period last year while the provision for the third quarter of 2016 was $1.1 million compared to $.5 million for the third quarter of 2015. Provision expense was higher primarily due to the growth in the loan portfolio and a modest increase in total non-performing loans and other real estate loans in legacy First Mid markets. Total non-performing loans and other real estate loans at September 30, 2016 were $17.9 million with First Clover Leaf adding $11.6 million. The legacy First Mid markets had balances of $6.3 million compared to $4.5 million at year-end and $3.8 million last September. During the first nine months of 2016, net charge-offs remained low at $343,000 which is the same amount for the same period last year. As mentioned, $442 million in loans were added with the First Clover Leaf acquisition and loans were recorded under fair value accounting which does not allow the carryover of the allowance for loan losses. This was the primary reason for the allowance for loan losses to total loans declining to .89% and the ratio of the allowance for loan losses to non-performing loans declined to 102% as of September 30, 2016.

Non-interest income for the first nine months of 2016 was $20.0 million compared to $14.3 million for the same period last year. Insurance commissions were $1.2 million higher than last year with the additional revenues from Illiana Insurance Agency. Year to date revenues from electronic services were $1.2 million greater than last year, deposit service charges increased by $974,000, and brokerage revenues were $527,000 higher than the first nine months of last year primarily due to the addition of the Southern Illinois locations.

Operating expenses for the first nine months of 2016 were $44.6 million compared to $34.9 million last year. The operating expenses of the acquired Old National branch locations, the Illiana Insurance Agency, and First Clover Leaf (since September 8) are included in the 2016 expenses as well as $785,000 of First Clover Leaf acquisition costs. Salaries and benefits expense increased to $23.3 million compared to $18.9 million for the same period last year as full-time equivalent employees increased to 596 at September 30, 2016 from 499 as of September 30, 2015. Occupancy expenses also increased to $8.4 million from $6.3 million for the first nine months of last year with the addition of the 12 Old National branch locations. In 2016, we donated a branch building in Monticello, Illinois, and $653,000 is included in donations expense reflecting the net book value deducted for tax purposes.

Our regulatory capital ratios remain strong and in excess of the regulatory minimums to be considered well-capitalized post acquisition. Tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets and total capital to risk-weighted assets declined slightly since year-end with the First Clover Leaf acquisition and the movement of cash from the Old National branch acquisition into loans and investments that require a higher capital allocation. We also completed the conversion of $27.4 million of Series C preferred stock to common stock during the second quarter of 2016. The conversion led to the increase in the common equity capital ratios. Our tangible book value per common share, a non-GAAP metric(1), increased during the first nine months of 2016 to $17.34 compared to $15.09 at year-end and $15.32 as of September 30, 2015 primarily due to the increase in retained earnings from net income.

In my last quarterly update, I mentioned that First Mid-Illinois Bancshares, Inc. joined the Russell 3000 Index. Over the past few years, we have completed strategic initiatives including listing on NASDAQ and adding institutional investment to give First Mid stock increased exposure to investors and the financial community. These steps have contributed to a significant increase in First Mid shares traded as we averaged over 25,000 shares traded over the past three months. The increase in trading volume creates a more efficient market for our stock and has improved liquidity for our shareholders.

I am pleased with the efforts of the First Mid team in completing the First Clover Leaf acquisition while continuing to produce solid financial results. Our team is focused on execution, delivering value, and providing additional services to our expanding customer base. Thank you for your continued support of First Mid-Illinois Bancshares, Inc. and please contact me if you should have any questions.
