"I have been fortunate to join a fine management team," continued Ogaard. "The Management and Boards of Directors are focused on the long-term safety, soundness, strength and viability of the Subsidiary Bank and the Company. The current economic times have impacted all financial institutions and will continue to be an issue. Citizens First National Bank has been serving customers since 1865 and will continue to meet the needs of individuals, businesses and public entities for many years to come."

Current President & CEO Tony J. Sorcic commented, "Mr. Ogaard has been a fine addition to the management team. His knowledge of banking will be an asset as he leads the Company into the future. I look forward to the many successes of the Company which will further strengthen the franchise value and I am confident Tom, the Boards of Directors and Management will achieve many accomplishments going forward."

Chairman Craig O. Wesner stated, "We are fortunate to have someone with Mr. Ogaard's experience in banking assume the President's position. He has demonstrated several strengths in his short time with the Company and will be a valuable asset. Although we are losing an excellent leader with the retirement of Tony J. Sorcic, Ogaard will continue the same community bank philosophy and customer and shareholder focus which has developed Princeton National Bancorp, Inc. into a fine institution."

Ogaard has a Bachelor's of Science in Business Administration from Bemidji State University, in Bemidji, Minnesota. He has been active in such organizations as Rotary, March of Dimes, Chambers of Commerce, Habitat for Humanity, United Way, Junior Achievement, and has served as a youth baseball, softball and hockey coach and has been an active member of his church. Tom and his wife Mary Kay look forward to continuing their involvement in community activities and helping the worthwhile organizations that serve the area.

Sorcic continued, "When I joined the staff of Citizens, total assets were $130 million with three locations and now, 28 years later, assets are $1.3 billion and the Bank has 21 locations to serve its customers. I have worked hard to prepare the Bank for this day. We have a fantastic staff and an excellent management team and I am very confident about the future. A few of the things I am most proud of while affiliated with the Company include: the staff's community involvement and achievements, expansion of the Bank's sales culture, development of the mortgage banking department which now services over $450 million in residential loans to our customers, development of Citizens Financial Advisors, internet and mobile banking, and the development of an outstanding training program. The staff reached a milestone this year with over 16,000 hours of community service to local organizations and events."

Craig O. Wesner, Chairman of the Board, stated, "Sorcic has played an integral part in the success of the Company and the Bank. His knowledge and contribution to the Boards of Directors of Princeton National Bancorp, Inc. and Citizens First National Bank have been invaluable and he will be greatly missed at both the Management and Board of Directors levels."

At the time of his retirement, Sorcic will have served as President for almost 15 years, the longest presidency of the Bank since C.D. Tedrow. Under his leadership the Company has prospered in many areas. Sorcic was instrumental in the completion of six acquisitions, the opening of seven new offices, and taking the Company public in May of 1992. He has built a staff that is focused on generating the best return for the shareholders, dedicated to serving the customers, and has demonstrated a real desire to help improve our communities. While many companies have reported losses during the current credit cycle, Princeton National Bancorp, Inc. has reported positive earnings for fifty-eight consecutive quarters.

During Sorcic's tenure at Citizens, he has worked with individuals, businesses, educational entities and governmental bodies to meet their financial needs. Sorcic has led by example and his community service is exemplary. A few of his community service accomplishments include: a 30-year membership in Rotary; pioneering the Friends of Scouting Breakfast; chairing the capital fund drive for the Perry Memorial Hospital Emergency Department, chairing the Illinois Theatre Conservatory capital fund drive; and serving on the Perry Memorial Hospital Board of Trustees, Princeton Public Schools Foundation, Illinois Valley Community College Board of Trustees, and ISU College of Business Advisory Council.

The Management, Staff and Board of Directors are very grateful for Mr. Sorcic's contributions to the Company and wish him many successes with his future endeavors. The Board will announce President Sorcic's successor in the near future.

Fulfilling company's short- and long-term goals to decrease costs of business, the transfer to the Capital Market will have no impact on shareholders' abilities to access the stock or make transactions. First National common stock is currently listed on the NASDAQ Global Market and can one day apply to return to that market, if its Board deems appropriate and efficient.

"This is a non-issue for First National shareholders in terms of their transactions, but an important one for the company in terms of being constantly vigilant of achieving efficiencies wherever we can," J. Barry Mason, president and CEO of First National Bancshares and its subsidiary, Spartanburg-based First National Bank of the South. "NASDAQ Capital Market listing simply meets our needs better than the Global Market."

The company intends to file a transfer application as soon as practicable. According to NASDAQ, the Capital Market does not require a fee for transfer and maintains lesser costs and its own listing standards, of which First National is currently in compliance. NASDAQ, in a November 4, 2009 compliance letter to the company, suggested the possible application for transfer to the Capital Market, noting the company's continued requirement to adhere to Global Market listing standards such as maintaining stockholder's equity above $10 million.
