2008 ELECTION OF DIRECTORS

     The only matter scheduled to be considered at the annual meeting will be the election of three persons to the Board of Directors of the Corporation. The Corporation’s Board of Directors is divided into three classes. Each year, on a rotating basis, the terms of office of the directors in one of the three classes expire. Directors are elected for a three year term. The directors whose terms expire at the annual meeting (“Class II Directors”) are Kenneth R. Elston, Thomas L. Miller and Ian W. Schonsheck. The Board has nominated these same individuals for reelection as Class II Directors. If elected, the terms of these directors will expire at the 2011 annual meeting of shareholders.

     Except for those individuals nominated by the Board of Directors, no persons may be nominated for election at the 2008 annual meeting. The Corporation’s Bylaws require at least 120 days prior written notice of any other proposed shareholder nominations and no such notice has been received.

     The proposed nominees are willing to be elected and to serve. In the event that any nominee is unable to serve or is otherwise unavailable for election, which is not now contemplated the incumbent Board of Directors may or may not select a substitute nominee. If a substitute nominee is selected, all proxies will be voted for the person so selected. If a substitute nominee is not so selected, all proxies will be voted for the election of the remaining nominee. Proxies will not be voted for a greater number of persons than the number of nominees named.

     A vote of shareholders holding a plurality of shares voting is required to elect directors. For the purpose of counting votes on this proposal, abstentions, broker nonvotes, and other shares not voted will not be counted as shares voted. Abstentions and broker non-votes are counted for the purpose of determining whether a quorum is present.

The Nomination Process

     Director nominees are considered and must be recommended to the full Board by the Director Selection Committee, whose members are independent under SEC and NASDAQ Standards. When considering a potential candidate for membership on the Corporation’s Board, the Committee seeks to identify candidates who will meet the challenges and needs of the Board. The Committee considers, among other qualifications, demonstrated character and judgment, diversity, geographic representation,

professional credentials, recognition in the marketplace, and experience in business and the financial industry. The Committee has not established specific minimum age, education, and years of business experience or specific types of skills for potential candidates, but, in general, expects qualified candidates will have ample experience and a proven record of business success and leadership. In general, the Board requires that each of its members will have the highest personal and professional ethics, integrity and values; will consistently exercise sound and objective business judgment; and will have a comfort with diversity in its broadest sense. In addition, it is anticipated that the Board as a whole will have individuals with significant appropriate senior management and leadership experience, a comfort with technology, a long-term and strategic perspective, and the ability to advance constructive debate. It is considered important for the Board as a whole to operate in an atmosphere where the chemistry of the Board is collaborative and constructive in effectively representing the interests of the shareholders.

     The Committee will consider shareholder nominations for directors submitted in accordance with the procedure set forth in Article III, Section 15(c) of the Corporation’s Bylaws. The procedure provides that a notice relating to the nomination must be given in writing to the Corporation not later than 120 days prior to the annual meeting. Such notice must contain identification information, business experience and background information with respect to the proposed nominee and contain information with respect to the proposed nominee’s share ownership. There are no differences in the manner in which the Committee evaluates a candidate that is recommended for nomination for membership on the Corporation’s Board by a shareholder. As noted, the Board has not received any recommended nominations from any of the Corporation’s shareholders in connection with the annual meeting.

     Upon receipt of information concerning a shareholder proposed candidate, the Committee assesses the Board’s needs, primarily whether or not there is a current or pending vacancy or a possible need to fulfill by adding or replacing a director, and then develops a director profile by comparing the current state of Board characteristics with the desired state and the candidate’s qualifications. The profile and the candidate’s submitted information are provided to the Board for discussion. Similarly, if at any time the Committee determines there may be a need to add or replace a director, the Committee develops a director profile by comparing the current state of Board characteristics with the desired state. If no candidates are apparent from any source, the Committee will determine the appropriate method to conduct a search. The Committee has, to date, not paid any third party fee to assist in identifying and evaluating nominees.

Code of Ethics

          Fentura Financial, Inc. is dedicated to upholding the highest ethical standards and principles throughout our operations. Our Code of Ethics is a product of our commitment to comply with the law and to conduct business ethically while reinforcing values of trust, respect, dignity, and honesty which form the foundation for our relationships with our shareholders, employees, and customers. The Corporation’s Board of Directors reaffirmed its Code of Ethics on February 28, 2008. The Code details principles and responsibilities governing professional and ethical conduct for all directors and officers of the Corporation and its Affiliate Banks. Any changes or waivers to the Code of Ethics will be promptly disclosed in our SEC filings.

          Going beyond the legal requirements for corporate ethics, we require all members of management to sign our Code and to conduct themselves consistent with its requirements. Additionally, the Boards of the Corporation and each Affiliate Bank and all Board Committees are chaired by an independent outside director and, at each Board and Audit Committee session, our outside directors reserve time for discussions without management or management directors present. Another example of the Corporation’s commitment to ethical conduct is its support of the Internal Audit Function. Previously outsourced, Internal Audit returned to an in house function in 2006 to strengthen the risk-based annual audit program, including incorporating testing consistent with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act Section 404, which the Corporation was required to comply with by December 31, 2007.

Committees of the Corporation Board

          The Corporation maintains the following standing committees: Executive, Forward Planning, Director Selection, Audit, and Compensation/ESOP.

Executive Committee

          The Executive Committee, which met three times in 2007, consists of Messrs. Grill, McKenney, and Shook. This Committee reviews in depth the status and progress of various projects, management activities and the Corporation’s financial performance. As necessary, it provides guidance and makes recommendations to management and/or the Board of Directors.

Forward Planning Committee

          The Forward Planning Committee consists of Messrs. Grill, Miller, and Schonsheck. This Committee evaluates and recommends strategic initiatives and alternatives to guide the future performance and direction of the Corporation. All Forward Planning matters during 2007 were considered by the full Board at regular Board meetings.

Director Selection Committee

          The Corporation’s Director Selection Committee consists of Messrs. McKenney, Miller and Shook. This Committee coordinates the process of identifying, interviewing and recommending new director candidates. In reviewing director selections, the Committee will consider recommendations of shareholders. Shareholders who wish to recommend nominees should submit their recommendations in writing, delivered or mailed to the Secretary of the Corporation. The Director Selection Committee met one time during 2007. The Director Selection Committee adopted a charter on November 30, 2006, a copy of which is available on the Corporation’s website at www.fentura.com.

Audit Committee

          During 2007 the Corporation’s Audit Committee consisted of Messrs. Elston, Miller and Petty, and the Audit Committee chairpersons of each Affiliate Bank Audit Committee’s as ex-officio members. The Audit Committee oversees the Corporation’s corporate accounting, financial reporting and internal audit processes. For this purpose, the Audit Committee performs several functions. For example, the Audit Committee evaluates the performance of and assesses the qualifications of the independent auditors; appoints and approves the compensation of the independent auditors; determines whether to retain or terminate the existing independent auditors or to appoint and engage new independent auditors; reviews the annual internal risk based audit plan and approves the retention of auditors to perform portions of the internal audit functions and services which the independent auditors are not permitted to perform; reviews the financial statements to be included in the Corporation’s Annual Report on Form 10-K; and discusses with management and the independent auditors the results of the annual audit and the results of the Corporation’s quarterly financial statements.

          Mr. Elston has been designated by the Board as the Audit Committee’s financial expert. Mr. Elston is independent as defined in Rule 4200(a) (15) of the NASDAQ listing standards.

          The Audit Committee is guided by an Audit Committee Charter, which is available on the Corporation’s website at www.fentura.com. All of the members of the Audit Committee are independent, as defined in Rule 4200(a) of the NASDAQ Listing Standards. During 2007, the Audit Committee held four meetings. On March 27, 2008, the Audit Committee submitted to the Board the following report:

Report of Audit Committee

          We have reviewed and discussed with management the Corporation’s audited financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2007.

          We have discussed with the independent auditors the matters required to be discussed by Statement on Auditing Standards No. 61, Communication with Audit Committees, as amended, by the Auditing Standards Board of the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants.

          We have received and reviewed the written disclosures and the letter from the independent auditors required by Independence Standard No. 1, Independence Discussions with Audit Committees, as amended, by the Independence Standards Board, and have discussed with the auditors the auditors’ independence.

          Based on the reviews and discussions referred to above, we recommend to the Board of Directors that the financial statements referred to above be included in the Corporation’s annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2007.

Respectfully submitted,
Audit Committee

Kenneth R. Elston
Brian P. Petty
Douglas W. Rotman

Compensation/ESOP Committee

          The members of the Compensation/ESOP Committee are Messrs. Karr, Petty and Shook. This Committee oversees the administration of the Corporation’s compensation and benefit programs. The Committee met two times during 2007. The Compensation/ESOP Committee adopted a charter on November 30, 2006, which is available on the Corporation’s website at www.fentura.com. The performance of the CEO and all Compensation/ESOP Committee items were reviewed by the committee and approved by the full Board.

Report of Compensation/ESOP Committee

          We have reviewed and discussed with management the Corporation’s Compensation Discussion & Analysis required by Item 402(b) of Regulation S-K. Based upon our review and discussions, we recommended to the Board of Directors that the Compensation Discussion & Analysis be included in the Corporation’s annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2007 and the Corporation’s 2008 proxy statement.

Respectfully submitted,
Year 2007 Compensation/ESOP Committee

COMPENSATION/ESOP COMMITTEE INTERLOCKS

          The members of the Compensation Committee are set forth in the preceding section. There are no members of the Compensation Committee who were officers or employees of the Corporation, former officers of the Corporation or its subsidiaries or had any relationship otherwise requiring disclosure here.

EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

COMPENSATION DISCUSSION & ANALYSIS

          During 2007, the Corporation did not compensate any of its executive officers, each of whom was also an executive officer of one of the Affiliate Banks and is paid for services by an Affiliate Bank following the corporate guidelines described below.

Role and Composition of the Committee

     The Compensation Committee discharges the Board’s responsibilities relating to compensation of the Company’s executive officers, including reviewing the competitiveness of executive compensation programs, evaluating the performance of the Company’s executive officers, and approving their annual compensation and equity awards. The Committee also assists the CEO in establishing annual goals and objectives and, after considering the results of the CEO performance review, recommends CEO compensation to the Board for approval. The specific responsibilities and functions of the Compensation Committee are delineated in the Compensation Committee Charter.

     The Compensation Committee has three members. Each Committee members meets the independence requirements established by NASDAQ.

     Under its Charter, the Compensation Committee has the authority to retain outside services to assist it in carrying out its duties and responsibilities. No initiatives or actions required the Committee to execute this authority in 2007. However, management used outside services provided by the legal firm Howard & Howard to assist with certain human resource issues and the Committee reviewed their recommendations.

Compensation Philosophy and Objectives

     All of our compensation programs are designed to attract and retain key employees, motivating them to achieve and rewarding them for superior performance. Different programs are geared to short and longer-term performance with the goal of increasing shareholder value over the long term. Executive compensation programs impact all employees by setting general levels of compensation and helping to create an environment of goals, rewards and expectations. Because we believe the performance of every employee is important to our success, we are mindful of the effect of executive compensation and incentive programs on all of our employees.

     We believe that the compensation of our executives should reflect their success as a management team, rather than individuals, in attaining key operating objectives, such as growth of earnings, return on equity, net interest margin, and operating efficiency. We believe that the performance of the executives in managing our Company, considered in light of general economic and specific Company, industry, and competitive conditions, should be the basis for determining their overall compensation. We believe that compensation based on management’s success in achieving Company goals will, in the long-term, positively impact our stock performance.

     The Company achieves these objectives through a compensation philosophy that provides employees with a distinctive overall compensation package. Outstanding performers have the opportunity to earn competitive compensation over the long-term through a pay-for-performance approach. The programs are designed to provide executives with competitive base salary and bonus compensation with a significant portion of total compensation at risk, tied both to individual and Company performance, and the creation of shareholder value.

Components of Executive Compensation

     The components of the compensation program for executive officers are described below.

     Base Salary. Base salaries are determined based on a variety of factors, including the executive’s scope of responsibilities, a market competitive assessment of similar roles at other companies, and a comparison of salaries paid to peers within the Company. Base salaries are set at levels that allow the Company to attract and retain superior leaders that will enable the Company to deliver on its business goals. Base salaries are reviewed once each year and may be adjusted after considering the above factors.

     The CEO will make recommendations for base salaries for each executive officer, excluding the CEO. When setting the base salaries for executive officers, excluding the CEO, the Committee considers recommendations from the CEO and makes a final determination based on the factors listed above and the executive officer’s performance during the year.

     Bonus. Executives have the opportunity to earn a bonus ranging from 30% to 45% of their base salary. Bonuses are determined based upon a combination of quantative measures, the details of which are established annually by the Board of Directors.

Executive Benefits

     In fiscal year 2007, Fentura’s executives were eligible for the same level and offering of benefits made available to other employees, including the Company’s 401(k) Plan and other benefit programs. In addition to the standard benefits offered to all employees, Fentura maintains non-qualified deferred compensation plans for certain executives. Effective January 1, 2006, Fentura modified certain non-qualified deferred compensation plans to comply with certain IRS requirements. Fentura’s contributions to the non-qualified deferred compensation plans are further discussed in the supplementary retirement benefit section of the proxy information.

How Executive Pay Levels are Determined

     Fentura participates in executive compensation benchmarking surveys that provide summarized data on levels of base salary, target annual incentives, and stock-based and other long-term incentives. These surveys also provide benchmark information on compensation practices such as the prevalence of types of compensation plans and the proportion of the types of pay components as part of the total compensation package. These surveys are supplemented by other publicly available information and input from trade associations on other factors such as recent market trends. The entire comparison group includes banks from Michigan and the Midwest. The Company does not customarily use consultants in establishing executive compensation. The Committee uses formal performance plans that ascribe performance expectations to the components of executive officer compensation, including salary and bonus. Information about the Company’s severance arrangements is provided on pages 18 through 20.

How Stock-Based Awards are Determined

     In 2007, no stock-based awards were granted to executive officers. However, generally the level of usage is determined based on factors such as compensation levels at comparison companies relative to Fentura’s target total compensation levels and the desired mix of cash and equity pay. Each year, the Committee and management determine the appropriate usage, balancing these factors against the projected needs of the business as well as financial considerations, including the projected impact on shareholder dilution. The Company emphasizes differentiation in the executive stock compensation and broad based stock award program.

Compensation for the Chief Executive Officer

     The independent members of the Board approve the compensation of Donald L. Grill, President and Chief Executive Officer. The Committee recommends salary and bonus amounts to the Board. Mr. Grill’s salary and total compensation are considered competitive with industry averages. Mr. Grill’s bonus was determined by the independent members of the Board based on an evaluation of his performance against his annual performance plan, including achievement of Company performance objectives, achievement of major market development activities, progress in improving internal efficiency, progress in business growth initiatives, and development of senior leadership. The Summary Compensation Table sets forth all compensation received by Mr. Grill during the fiscal year 2007. He is eligible for a Company sponsored supplemental retirement program and the Company’s 401(k) and ESOP program. Mr. Grill does have a change of control agreement. He may be eligible for severance under the Company’s executive severance plan.

          The following tables show the compensation for services to Affiliate Banks of the principal executive officer, principal financial officer and the four highest paid corporate executive officers who received total compensation in excess of $100,000 for the year 2007.

2007 SUPPLEMENTAL RETIREMENT BENEFITS

          Fentura Financial, Inc., The State Bank, and West Michigan Community Bank have entered into Supplemental Executive Retirement Agreements (SERP Agreements) with Mr. Donald L. Grill and Mr. Robert E. Sewick. The SERP Agreements are designed to encourage executives to remain long term employees of the Corporation, and to provide specified benefits to certain key executives who contribute materially to the continued growth, development and future business success of the Corporation. The retirement benefits are an unsecured obligation of the Corporation. The Corporation has purchased certain prepaid life insurance policies and expects to apply investment earnings on the policies to pay for all or a portion of the annual costs for the SERP Agreements.

2007 NONQUALIFED DEFERRED COMPENSATION

          The Corporation and the Affiliate Banks have established a Non-Qualified Deferred Compensation Plan (the “Plan”) for key executives not covered under the SERP. The plan is designed to encourage highly compensated officers to remain long term employees of the Corporation and the Affiliate Banks, and to provide the officers with supplemental retirement income.

Qualified Retirement Plans

          The Corporation and the Affiliate Banks offer all employees two separate qualified retirement plans, the first of which is the Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP) and the second is a 401k profit sharing plan. The ESOP is 100% funded by the Corporation and/or Affiliate Banks. Based on Corporate earnings, the Corporate Board approves an amount to be distributed into the plan. In order to promote longevity with the Corporation, this plan includes a vesting schedule of seven years before a participant is fully vested. The 401k profit sharing plan allows participants to defer compensation, before taxes, in order to invest in various investment vehicles. Participants also receive a corporate match of 100% on the first 3% and 50% on the next 2% (participants are allowed to defer up to 15%) of their annual compensation.

Potential Post-Employment Payments

Payments upon Termination/Change in Control

          The Corporation and the Affiliated Banks have entered into Severance Compensation Agreements with each of Messrs. Grill, Kelley, Sewick, Justice, Leyder, and Ms. Pingatore. Under each of these agreements, if a “change in control” occurs while the Executive is an employee of the Corporation or the Affiliate Bank, and if within five years thereafter the Executive’s employment is

terminated without “cause,” by the Executive for “good reason,” or by either party because of the Executive’s death or disability, then the Corporation and the Affiliate Bank are required to pay the Executive an annual amount equal to 50% of the highest amount of the Executive’s annual compensation in the five preceding calendar years, with such payments being made for a period of time ranging from one to five years, as specified in each Executive’s agreement (Grill, Justice and Sewick — 5 years; Leyder — 2 years; Kelley and Pingatore — 1 year). In the case of Mr. Grill and Mr. Sewick, the Executive may also be entitled to payment for certain excise, income and other taxes that such Executive may become subject to as a result of Section 280G of the Internal Revenue Code (i.e. tax gross-up payments). In contrast, the Executives other than Mr. Grill and Mr. Sewick are to have their payments reduced to the extent necessary to avoid such excise and other taxes. Each Executive is also entitled to the acceleration of vesting of any outstanding stock options and/or restricted stock upon a change in control.

     “Change in Control” means (i) the acquisition, directly, indirectly and/or beneficially, by any person or group, of more than fifty percent (50%) of the voting securities of the Corporation or the Bank, (ii) the occurrence of any event at any time during any two (2) year period which results in a majority of the Board of Directors of the Corporation or the Bank being comprised of individuals who were not members of such Board at the commencement of that two (2) year period (the “Incumbent Board”); provided, however, that any individual becoming a director subsequent to the date hereof whose election, or nomination for election by the Corporation’s or the Bank’s shareholders, was approved by a vote of at least a majority of the directors then comprising the Incumbent Board shall be considered as though such individual were a member of the Incumbent Board, but excluding for this purpose any such individual whose initial assumption of the office occurs as a result of an actual or threatened election contest with respect to the election or removal of directors or other actual or threatened solicitation of proxies or consents by or on behalf of a person other than the Incumbent Board, (iii) a sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Corporation or the Bank to another entity, or (iv) a merger or reorganization of the Corporation or the Bank with another entity.

     “Cause” means (i) the willful and continuing failure by the Executive to substantially perform his duties with the Bank or the Corporation (other than any such failure resulting from the Executive’s death or Disability) and which is not remedied in a reasonable period of time after receipt by Executive of written notice from the Bank specifying the duties the Executive has failed to perform, or (ii) the willful and continued engaging by Executive in gross misconduct that is materially injurious to the Bank or the Corporation and which is not ceased within a reasonable period of time after receipt by Executive of written notice from the Bank specifying the misconduct and the injury, or (iii) an adjudication of the Executive’s guilt of any crime involving a serious and substantial breach of the Executive’s fiduciary duties to the Bank. No act or failure to act on the Executive’s part shall be considered “willful” unless done, or omitted to be done, by him in bad faith and without reasonable belief that his action or omission was in the best interest of the Bank or the Corporation.

     “Good Reason” means any of the following, as determined by the Executive in his discretion: (i) the assignment to the Executive by the Bank or the Corporation of any duties inconsistent with his position, duties, responsibilities and status with the Bank or the Corporation immediately prior to a Change in Control, or a change adverse to Executive in Executive’s reporting responsibilities, titles, terms of employment (including bonus, compensation, fringe benefits and vacation entitlement) or offices as in effect immediately prior to a Change in Control; or (ii) the Bank or the Corporation requiring Executive to be based anywhere other than within fifteen (15) miles of his present office location, or to travel on business of the Bank to an extent substantially greater than Executive’s present business travel obligations; or (iii) the failure by the Corporation to obtain the assumption of the agreement. If any of the foregoing result from, or follow, a termination of employment for Cause, then Good Reason will not have occurred.

     Assuming, in accordance with applicable SEC rules that the foregoing executive officers were terminated on December 31, 2007 in the manner described above, the estimated aggregate total value of compensation and benefits (including the economic benefit resulting from the acceleration of options and

restricted stock) from Severance Compensation Agreements would be as follows: Mr. Grill - $800,704, Mr. Kelley- $84,830, Mr. Sewick- $556,235, Mr. Justice- $406,794, Mr. Leyder — $178,496, and Ms. Pingatore- $72,573.

     Additionally, under the change of control provisions of the Supplemental Executive Retirement Plans, assuming executive officers were terminated on December 31, 2007 in the manner described above, Mr. Grill would receive an additional $1,031,370 and Mr. Sewick would receive an additional $589,425.

RELATIONSHIP WITH INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS

     The consolidated financial statements of the Corporation for the year ended December 31, 2007, have been examined by Crowe Chizek and Company LLC, independent certified public accountants. A representative of Crowe Chizek and Company is expected to be present at the annual meeting with the opportunity to make a statement, if desired, and will be available to respond to appropriate questions. The Corporation’s Audit Committee selects the Corporation’s auditors before the end of each calendar year.

Fees Paid to Independent Accountants

		2007				2006
Audit Fees		$	109,000			$	99,125
Audit-related Fees		$	17,000			$	54,060
Tax Fees		$	19,000			$	18,550
All Other Fees		$	30,750			$	8,221

     The amounts shown for “Audit-related Fees” related to the development of tools designed to assist the Corporation in complying with certain provisions of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and related consultation and advice.

     The amounts shown for “Tax Fees” were for corporate tax compliance, tax advice and tax planning services.

     The amounts shown for “All Other Fees” related primarily to compliance reviews, consulting, and software licensing.

     The Audit Committee has considered whether the provision of these services is compatible with maintaining our principal auditors’ independence. Following the adoption of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and the rules promulgated thereunder, our independent auditors are proscribed from offering certain services to us. None of those proscribed services were provided to us in 2007. The Corporation’s Audit Committee has concluded that the provision of services covered under the caption “All Other Fees” is compatible with Crowe Chizek and Company LLC maintaining their independence. None of the hours expended on Crowe Chizek and Company LLC’s engagement to audit the Corporation’s consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2007, were attributed to work performed by persons other than Crowe Chizek and Company LLC’s full-time, permanent employees.

     The Charter of the Audit Committee provides that the Audit Committee will administer the Corporation’s policy regarding the approval of audit and non-audit services. Under that policy, the Audit Committee must pre-approve all engagements of the Corporation’s independent auditors. Before the end of the first quarter of each year, the retention of the independent auditors to audit the Corporation’s financial statements, including the associated fee, is approved by the Audit Committee. At the same time, the Audit Committee will evaluate other known potential engagements of the independent auditors,

including the scope of the work proposed to be performed and the proposed fees, and approve or reject each service, taking into account whether the services are permissible under applicable law and the possible impact of each non-audit service on the independent auditors’ independence from management. At each subsequent meeting of the Audit Committee, the Audit Committee will receive updates on the services actually provided by the independent auditors and management may present additional services for approval. The Audit Committee has delegated to the Chairman of the Audit Committee the authority to evaluate and approve engagements on behalf of the Audit Committee in the event that the need arises for pre-approval between Audit Committee meetings. This might occur, for example, if the Corporation was proposing to execute a financing on an accelerated timetable. If the Chairman so approves any such engagements, he/she is required to report that approval to the full Audit Committee at the next Audit Committee meeting.

     All of the services described above as “Audit-related Fees” and “Tax Fees” were approved under this policy.

COMPLIANCE WITH SECTION 16 REPORTING

     The rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission require that the Corporation disclose late filings of reports of stock ownership (and changes in stock ownership) by its directors, executive officers and beneficial owners of more than 10% of the Corporation’s common stock. Based solely on its review of the copies of such reports received by it, and written representations from certain reporting persons, the Corporation believes that during the year ended December 31, 2007, its directors, executive officers and beneficial owners of more than 10% of the Corporation’s common stock have complied with all filing requirements applicable to them with the exception of two Form 4 transactions for one director, Forrest A. Shook that were not filed until February 2008 using a Form 5.

OTHER INFORMATION

Annual Report on Form 10-K

     The Corporation will provide a copy of its 2007 Annual Report on SEC Form 10-K to any shareholder who asks for it in writing, without charge. Please direct your request to our Secretary, Ronald L. Justice, at 175 North Leroy Street, P.O. Box 725, Fenton, Michigan 48430. The Form 10-K and certain other periodic filings are filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). The SEC maintains an Internet web site that contains reports and other information regarding companies, including the Corporation, that file electronically. The SEC’s web site address is www.sec.gov.

Transactions with Certain Interested Parties

     The Company has Related Party Transactions provisions in its lending policies which require preapproval of any loans to a related party with a subsidiary Bank by a majority of disinterested board members of the Board of Directors. Additionally, the Board reaffirms all debt with related parties at least annually.

     Certain directors and officers of the Corporation have had and are expected to have in the future, transactions with the subsidiaries of the Corporation, or have been directors or officers of corporations, or members of partnerships, which have had and are expected to have in the future, transactions with the subsidiaries of the Corporation. All such transactions with officers and directors, either directly or indirectly, have been made in the ordinary course of business and on substantially the same terms, including interest rates and collateral, as those prevailing at the same time for comparable transactions

with other customers, and these transactions do not involve more than the normal risk of collection or present other unfavorable features. All such future transactions, including transactions with principal shareholders and other Corporation affiliates, will be made in the ordinary course of business, on terms no less favorable to the Corporation than with other customers, and will be subject to approval by a majority of the Corporation’s independent, outside disinterested directors.
