– 2009 PROXY STATEMENT –

We are providing these proxy materials in connection with the solicitation by the Board of Directors of FPB Bancorp, Inc. (“FPB”) of proxies to be voted at the 2009 Annual Meeting of Shareholders, or at any adjournment thereof (“Annual Meeting”). This Proxy Statement is first being mailed to shareholders on or about March 16, 2009.

GENERAL INFORMATION

Where and when is the 2009 Annual Meeting being held?

·	Wednesday, April 29, 2009

·	5:30 p.m. local time, with a social hour beginning at 4:30 p.m.

·	Hilton Garden Inn-PGA Village, 8540 NW Commerce Centre Drive

Port St. Lucie, Florida 34986

Who is entitled to vote at our 2009 Annual Meeting and what constitutes a quorum?

The close of business on February 27, 2009, has been fixed by the Board of Directors as the “record date” for determination of shareholders entitled to notice of, and to vote at, the Annual Meeting, and any adjournment thereof. As of February 27, 2009, there were 2,058,047 shares of FPB common stock outstanding which were held by approximately 1,400 shareholders.

What are the voting rights of our shareholders?

Our Articles of Incorporation do not provide for cumulative voting. Under the Florida Business Corporation Act (“Act”), directors are elected by a plurality of the votes cast at a meeting at which a quorum is present. Therefore, each shareholder of record on the record date has the right to vote, in person or by proxy, the number of shares owned by him or her for as many director nominees as there are directors to be elected. For example, if you own five shares, you may vote a maximum of five shares for each director to be elected. The four nominees for Class I directors who receive the most votes, regardless of how many votes are cast, will each be elected to serve a three-year term.

Other matters are approved if affirmative votes cast for a proposal exceed the votes cast against that proposal at a meeting at which a quorum is present, unless a greater number of affirmative votes or voting by classes is required by the Act or our Articles of Incorporation. Abstentions and broker non-votes have no effect on these types of matters under the Act.

If your shares are held in “street name,” under certain circumstances your brokerage firm may vote your shares. Brokerage firms have authority to vote their customers’ shares on certain “routine” matters, including the election of directors. When a brokerage firm votes its customers’ shares on routine matters, these shares are also counted for purposes of establishing a quorum to conduct business at the meeting. A brokerage firm cannot vote its customers’ shares on non-routine matters. Accordingly, these shares are not counted as votes against a non-routine matter, but rather are not counted at all for these matters. Proposal 2, an advisory vote on executive compensation is considered non-routine.

A shareholder may abstain or withhold a vote with respect to any item submitted for shareholder approval. Abstentions and withheld votes will be counted as being present for purposes of determining the existence of a quorum, but will be counted as not voting in favor of any proposal brought before the Annual Meeting.

How do I vote?

The manner in which your shares may be voted depends on how your shares are held. If you own shares of record, meaning that your shares of common stock are represented by certificates or book entries in your name so that you appear as a shareholder on the records of our stock transfer agent, a Proxy Card for voting those shares will be included with this Proxy Statement. You may vote those shares by completing, dating, signing, and returning the Proxy Card in the enclosed postage pre-paid, pre-addressed envelope.

If you own shares through a brokerage firm in street name, you may instead receive a voting instruction form with this Proxy Statement that you may use to instruct your broker on how your shares are to be voted. As with a Proxy Card, you may vote your shares by completing, dating, signing, and returning the voting instruction form in the envelope provided. Many brokerage firms have arranged for internet or telephonic voting of shares and provide instructions for using those services on the voting instruction form.

Who can attend our Annual Meeting?

If you own common stock of record, you may attend the Annual Meeting and vote in person, regardless of whether you have previously voted by Proxy Card. If you own common stock through a brokerage account, you may attend the Annual Meeting, but in order to vote your shares at the Annual Meeting, you must obtain a “legal proxy” from the brokerage firm that holds your shares. You should contact your brokerage account representative to learn how to obtain a legal proxy.

We encourage you to vote your shares in advance of the Annual Meeting by one of the methods we have described, even if you plan to attend the Annual Meeting, so that we will be able to determine if a quorum is present. You may change or revoke your proxy at the Annual Meeting in the manner described below even if you have already voted.

Can I change my vote after I mail my Proxy Card?

You may revoke a previously granted proxy at any time before it is voted, by delivering to us a written notice of revocation, or a duly executed Proxy Card bearing a later date, or by attending the Annual Meeting and voting in person. If your shares are held through a brokerage firm, you may change or revoke previously given voting instructions by contacting your brokerage firm, or by obtaining a legal proxy from the brokerage firm, and voting in person at the Annual Meeting.

BOARD OF DIRECTORS MEETINGS

During 2008, the Board of Directors of FPB held 13 meetings. All the directors attended at least 75% of the total meetings of the Board of Directors and any committees on which they served.

COMMITTEES OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS

FPB’s Board of Directors is divided into the Audit/Compliance Committee, the Personnel/Compensation/Nominating Committee, and the Long-Range Planning and Building Committee. The Board of Directors believes that all current members of the Audit/Compliance and Personnel/Compensation/Nominating Committees are “Independent Directors” under Nasdaq Marketplace Rule 4200(a)(15), in that they have no relationships that would impair their abilities to objectively and impartially execute their duties.

The composition of and number of meetings held by each Committee in 2008 is reflected in the following table:

FPB Committees

Audit/Compliance Committee – Pursuant to its Charter, the Audit/Compliance Committee reviews FPB’s and First Peoples Bank’s (“Bank”) auditing, accounting, financial reporting, and internal control functions. This Committee recommends the independent auditor and reviews its services. Each member of the Committee is considered independent under Nasdaq Marketplace Rules 4200(a)(15). The Committee met seven times in 2008. All Committee members attended at least 75% of the Committee meetings. A copy of the Audit/Compliance Committee Charter is attached to this Proxy Statement as Exhibit A.

Report of the Audit/Compliance Committee

The Audit/Compliance Committee reviews FPB’s and the Bank’s auditing, accounting, financial reporting and internal control functions. This Committee recommends the independent auditor and reviews the independent auditor’s services.

The audit functions of the Audit/Compliance Committee are focused on three areas:

§	The adequacy of FPB’s and the Bank’s internal controls and financial reporting process and the reliability of FPB’s and the Bank’s financial statements.

§	The performance of FPB’s and the Bank’s internal auditors and the independence and performance of FPB’s and the Bank’s independent auditors.

§	Ensuring FPB’s and the Bank’s compliance with legal and regulatory requirements.

The Audit/Compliance Committee also recommends to the Board the appointment of the independent auditors and reviews their performance, fees, and independence from management.

Members of the Audit/Compliance Committee met with management periodically to consider the adequacy of FPB’s and the Bank’s internal controls and the objectivity of their financial reporting. These matters were discussed with FPB’s and the Bank’s independent auditors and with appropriate company financial personnel. The independent auditors have unrestricted access to the Committee.

The Board of Directors has determined that none of the members of the Audit/ Compliance Committee has a relationship to FPB and the Bank that may interfere with the members’ independence from FPB and the Bank and its management.

Gary A. Berger, a Certified Public Accountant, with extensive auditing experience, has the requisite financial expertise to qualify as an “audit committee financial expert” as defined by Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) Rules. Accordingly, the Board has designated Mr. Berger to hold that position.

Management has primary responsibility for FPB’s and the Bank’s financial statements and the overall reporting process, including the system of internal controls. The independent auditors audit the annual financial statements prepared by management, express an opinion as to whether those financial statements fairly present the financial position, results of operations, and cash flows of FPB and the Bank in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The independent auditors discuss any issues they believe should be brought to the Audit/Compliance Committee’s attention. The Audit/Compliance Committee monitors these processes, relying without independent verification, on the information provided and on the representations made by management and the independent auditors.

1301 S.E. Port St. Lucie Boulevard ● Port St. Lucie, Florida 34952

This year, the Audit/Compliance Committee reviewed FPB’s unaudited Form 10-QSB for the quarter ended March 31, 2008 and the unaudited Form 10-Qs for the quarters ended June 30, 2008 and September 30, 2008, and audited financial statements as of, and for, the fiscal year ended December 31, 2008. The Audit/Compliance Committee met with both management and FPB’s and the Bank’s independent auditors to discuss those filings and financial statements. Management has represented to the Audit/Compliance Committee that the quarter ended filings and financial statements were prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

The Audit/Compliance Committee has received from and discussed with Hacker, Johnson & Smith, P.A. the written disclosure and the letter required by applicable requirements of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board regarding the independent accountant’s communications with the audit committee concerning independence. These items relate to that firm’s independence from FPB and the Bank. The Audit/Compliance Committee also discussed with Hacker, Johnson & Smith, P.A. any matters required to be discussed by the Statement on Auditing Standards No. 61. (Communication with Audit/ Compliance Committee).

Based on these reviews and discussions, the members of the 2008 Audit/Compliance Committee recommended to the Board that FPB’s and the Bank’s audited financial statements be included in FPB’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2008.

Personnel/Compensation/Nominating Committee – is responsible for evaluating the personnel needs of FPB, independent of the Bank. This Committee also makes recommendations with respect to compensating those officers who perform services for FPB. Other than stock option grants, FPB does not currently compensate any of its officers and has no other employees. FPB does, however, reimburse the Bank for a portion of FPB’s executive officers’ salaries. The Committee also considers and evaluates Board members and nominees, including shareholder nominees. Pursuant to its Charter, it also recommends the assignments of Committee membership and develops training and educational programs for directors. FPB does not have any formal procedures or policies for considering shareholder nominations, but will consider shareholder nominations on a case-by-case basis. All of the members are considered independent under Nasdaq Marketplace Rule 4200(a)(15) definition and each member attended the Committee’s three meetings in 2008. A copy of the Personnel/Compensation/Nominating Charter is attached to this Proxy Statement as Exhibit B.

Long-Range Planning and Building Committee – meets to evaluate and assess the long- range needs and goals of FPB and the Bank, including expansionary activities. The Board has accepted the Committee’s recommendation to halt any further expansion activities for 2009, which will permit the Bank to focus on the two branches it opened in 2008. The Committee met two times in 2008. All committee members attended at least 75% of all Committee meetings.

Communications with the Board of Directors

FPB has no formal procedures for shareholders to communicate with the Board of Directors. Should a shareholder wish to submit a written communication to the Board, the shareholder can mail or deliver such communication either to Chief Executive Officer and President David W. Skiles or to Chairman of the Board Gary A. Berger c/o FPB Bancorp, Inc., 1301 S.E. Port St. Lucie Boulevard, Port St. Lucie, Florida 34952. Should a shareholder wish to address the Board in person, he or she can submit a request to either Mr. Skiles or Mr. Berger. Depending on the matter which the shareholder wishes to present to the Board and the Board’s schedule, the Board will consider such a request in determining whether to invite the shareholder to a Board meeting.

PROPOSAL 1. ELECTION OF DIRECTORS

Our Board of Directors is presently comprised of ten members. Our Articles of Incorporation provide that directors shall be divided into three classes, with each group serving for staggered three-year terms. This year, four Class I directors are to be elected. To the best of our knowledge, no director nominee is being proposed for election pursuant to any agreement between that person and any other person.

The four nominees standing for re-election, Donald J. Cuozzo, Timothy K. Grimes, John S. Leighton, III and Paul A. Zinter, have indicated that they are willing to stand for election and to serve as directors if elected. Should a director nominee become unable or unwilling to serve, proxies will be voted for the election of such other person as the Board of Directors may choose to nominate. The affirmative vote of a plurality of the votes cast at the Annual Meeting is needed to elect a director. Abstentions and withheld votes will have the same effect as votes against a director nominee.

Information relating to the business experience and age of each director nominee and continuing director is set forth below. Also included is information related to FPB’s non-director executive officers and the Bank’s other executive officers.

EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

Our executive compensation program is designed to:

Ø	Attract and retain qualified management;

Ø	Meet short-term financial goals; and

Ø	Enhance long-term shareholder value.

FPB currently does not compensate its executive officers, other than granting stock options and the compensation that is paid by the Bank. We strive to pay each executive officer the base salary that would be paid on the open market for a fully qualified officer in that position. The Board of Directors, upon recommendation by the Bank’s Personnel/Compensation/ Nominating Committee, determined the level of base salary and any incentive bonus for the Chief Executive Officer and other officers of FPB and the Bank based upon competitive norms, derived from annual surveys published by several independent banking institutes or private companies specializing in analysis of financial institutions. Such surveys provide information regarding compensation of financial institution officers and employees based on the size and geographic location of the financial institution and serve as a benchmark for determining executive salaries. Actual salary changes and discretionary bonus awards are based upon the Board of Directors’ and the Bank’s Personnel/Compensation/Nominating Committee’s evaluation of FPB’s and the Bank’s performance, the officer’s responsibilities, and individual performance standards.

Bonuses/Salary Increases

The current economic recession and declining real estate values are adversely affecting most companies in the financial services sector in FPB’s and the Bank’s markets. As a result, FPB’s 2008 results of operations and the market price of its Common Stock have also been negatively impacted. As a result, the Compensation Committee recommended to the Board that no bonuses or salary increases for senior management be approved for 2009.

Employment Contracts

FPB currently does not have any employment contracts. The Bank, however, entered into an Amended and Restated Employment Agreement (“Agreement”) with David W. Skiles on September 5, 2007. The Agreement has an initial term of three years, commencing on August 1, 2007. Under the Agreement, Mr. Skiles serves as the Chief Executive Officer and President of the Bank. The term of the Agreement is automatically renewed for one additional year on each anniversary of the effective date, until the earlier of July 31, 2012, or upon notice by one of the parties. The Bank’s Board or its Compensation Committee must annually review the Agreement and Mr. Skiles’ performance at the Bank to determine if such renewals should be continued. Mr. Skiles is also eligible to participate in FPB’s 2005 Stock Compensation Plan, in both the capacity of an employee and a director. The Agreement also provides that the Bank will pay for Mr. Skiles’ membership in two country clubs in order to further his presence and recognition in the community.

Mr. Skiles may terminate the Agreement for any reason upon 90 days written notice to the Bank. In the event the Agreement is terminated by Mr. Skiles without “good reason” or by the Bank for “cause” (as those terms are defined in the Agreement), Mr. Skiles shall be entitled to no further compensation, except what has already accrued. Under the Agreement Mr. Skiles is subject to a non-compete provision, which prohibits him from becoming employed, directly or indirectly, at any financial institution, financial institution holding company, bank holding company, or other financial service provider in St. Lucie County, or in such other counties that the Bank has a branch office for six months following his termination for any reason. He is also subject to a non-solicitation provision, which provides that he may not solicit business from any current customer of the Bank or solicit any employees of the Bank for a period of six months following his termination for any reason. If the Agreement is terminated by the Bank for any reason other than “cause” or by Mr. Skiles for “good reason” he will be entitled to a severance payment equal to his annual base salary, which shall be payable in substantially equal semi-monthly installments. He would also be entitled to continued participation in the Bank’s employee benefit plans and programs for the shorter of one year or until he becomes eligible to participate in comparable plans provided by another employer. In addition, should FPB or the Bank undergo a “change in control” (as defined in the Agreement), Mr. Skiles will be entitled to receive a change in control payment equal to 2.5 times his base salary, as averaged for the five year period prior to the change in control.

Mr. Skiles’ Agreement also provides him with the following benefits: eligibility to receive an annual performance bonus, not to exceed 40% of his base salary; five weeks paid vacation; and $600 per month automobile allowance. The Agreement also references two separate employment related agreements that Mr. Skiles has entered into with the Bank. On December 23, 2005 the Bank and Mr. Skiles entered into a Deferred Compensation Agreement, which provides that the Bank will match his contributions up to 2.5% of his base salary. Mr. Skiles also entered into a Split Dollar Agreement with the Bank, dated February 15, 2006, which provides Mr. Skiles with a $200,000 life insurance benefit.

In addition, the Bank entered into Change in Control Agreements (“CIC Agreements”) in July 2007 with three of its executive officers, Marge Riley, Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer, Nancy E. Aumack, Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, and Stephen J. Krumfolz, Senior Vice President and SBA Commercial Lender. The CIC Agreements were made in recognition of these individuals’ continued service with FPB and the Bank, but do not constitute employment contracts that would give these individuals any right to continued employment with the Bank.

All three CIC Agreements provide that the executive officers will receive cash severance payments if they are terminated by the Bank without “just cause,” as defined in the CIC Agreements, as a result of a Change in Control of either FPB or the Bank, including if a contemplated Change in Control occurs within six months of their termination by the Bank. In addition, if the executive officers elect to resign within ninety days of a Change in Control of either FPB or the Bank, they will receive the cash severance payment. Ms. Aumack’s and Mr. Krumfolz’s CIC Agreements each provide for a severance payment in the amount of two times their “highest annual base salary,” which is defined to be their highest base salary plus their average annual bonus during the three years immediately preceding their termination. Ms. Riley’s CIC Agreement provides that she will receive two and a half times her highest annual base salary. The payments are to be made to the employees in one lump sum within ten days of the termination of employment. In addition, the employees are entitled to continued insurance benefits until the earlier of obtaining new employment with similar benefits or six months after termination.

All of the CIC Agreements provide for a term of two years, unless otherwise extended by the parties, commencing on August 1, 2007 and ending on July 31, 2009. In consideration of the Bank’s execution of these CIC Agreements, the employees have agreed that during the term of the CIC Agreements and for a period of six months following their termination for any reason other than a Change in Control, they will not become employed with another financial institution located in either St. Lucie County, Indian River County or Martin County, or otherwise compete with FPB or the Bank.

Executive Compensation Conditions For Participation in Capital Purchase Program

FPB is participating in the Capital Purchase Program (“CPP”) subdivision of the Troubled Asset Relief Program established by the United States Department of the Treasury (“Treasury”) pursuant to the Emergency Economic Stabilization Act of 2008 (“EESA”). Under the program, the Treasury purchased shares of senior preferred stock (“Preferred Stock”) and a warrant to purchase common stock (“Warrant”). As a condition of participation, the Treasury requires the adoption of certain standards applicable to executive compensation

On February 17, 2009, President Obama signed into law the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (“ARRA”). ARRA significantly amended the executive compensation initiations of EESA. To the extent ARRA conflicts with prior guidance, FPB believes ARRA will take precedence. ARRA has significant implications on the compensation arrangements of institutions, such as the FPB, that have accepted or will accept government funds under CPP. ARRA directs Treasury to establish standards and rules on executive compensation practices of CPP recipients. It is not clear in some provisions of ARRA whether the provisions apply upon ARRA’s enactment into law or whether they will take effect upon the issuance of appropriate guidance and regulations by the Treasury. ARRA’s restrictions will nevertheless apply to FPB, its compensation policies and its executive officers in several ways, including the following:

Bonuses and Incentive Compensation: FPB will generally be prohibited from paying or accruing any bonus, retention award or incentive compensation to its most highly compensated employee. Until the Treasury issues its guidance in the matter, it is not clear precisely which employees will be precluded from receiving bonuses and incentive compensation, other than in the form of restricted stock while the Treasury holds our Preferred Stock.

Golden Parachutes: The CPP imposed limitations on the ability of the Company to make “golden parachute payments” to FPB’s top ten senior executive officers. A golden parachute payment was previously defined under the CPP as a payment on account of an involuntary departure of the executive officer in an amount equal to or more than three times the last annual salary received by the executive prior to termination. ARRA broadens the meaning of the term “golden parachute payment” to include any payment for departure from a company for any reason, except for payments for services performed or benefits accrued.

Clawbacks: CPP required recipients such as FPB to recover any bonus, retention award, or incentive compensation paid to any one of its named executive officers based on statements of earnings, revenues, gains, or other criteria that are later found to be materially inaccurate. ARRA expands the “clawback” requirement to apply not only to the named executive officers, but also to the next 20 most highly compensated employees of the FPB.

Anti-Manipulation. ARRA also prohibits any compensation plan that would encourage manipulation of reported earnings to enhance the compensation of any of FPB’s employees.

ARRA also affects the following executive compensation policies and practices:

Ø	FPB’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer must provide a written certification to the SEC compliance with the executive compensation restrictions described in the CPP, as modified by ARRA.

The Board must enact a company-wide policy regarding excessive or luxury expenditures. This includes policies on entertainment, events, office and facility renovations, air and other travel and other activities or events that are not reasonable expenditures for staff development, reasonable performance incentives or other similar measures conducted in the normal course of business.

For years in which the Treasury owns the our Preferred Stock, we may not claim a deduction on compensation paid to a senior executive officer in excess of the $500,000 compensation deduction limit of Section 162(m)(5) of the Internal Revenue Code. Moreover, the exception for performance based pay not counting against this limit will not be available to FPB.

Given the recent enactment of ARRA, the last minute changes added in the Congressional conference committee, and the lack of significant regulatory guidance to date, management, the Board and the Compensation Committee continue to evaluate the procedures and policies necessary to implement all of ARRA’s requirements. While the Treasury owns our Preferred Stock, certain benefits or payments described elsewhere in this Proxy Statement may not be payable.

PROPOSAL 2. ADVISORY VOTE ON EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

Background of the Proposal

ARRA also requires financial institutions, such as FPB, which participated in the CPP to permit a separate and non-binding shareholder vote to approve the compensation of such financial institution’s named executive officers. The SEC recently issued guidance that requires participants in the CPP to submit to shareholders annually for their approval the executive compensation arrangements as described in their proxy statements, including the tabular disclosure, in their proxy statements until such time as the Preferred Stock issued pursuant to the CPP is redeemed.

Executive Compensation

FPB believes that its compensation policies and procedures, which are reviewed and approved by the Compensation Committee, encourage a culture of pay for performance and are strongly aligned with the long-term interests of shareholders. Like most companies in the financial services sector, the recent and ongoing financial downturn had a significant negative impact on FPB’s 2008 results of operations and on the price of our Common Stock. In Florida, this has been primarily driven by the significant deflation in real estate values. Consistent with the objective of aligning the compensation of the FPB’s named executive officers with the annual and long-term performance of FPB and the interests of our shareholders, these factors were also reflected in the compensation of FPB’s named executive officers for 2008, and in a number of executive compensation-related actions that have been taken by FPB and the Compensation Committee with respect to 2009.

Because FPB’s performance did not meet management or the Board’s standards, the Compensation Committee used its discretion in determining not to make any annual incentive payments or bonuses with respect to 2008 to the named executive officers. The total 2008 annual cash compensation for the named executive officers as a group decreased approximately 7% from 2007. An expanded discussion regarding the Compensation Committee’s considerations in response to the adverse economic conditions is described above under “Executive Compensation.”

As required by ARRA and the guidance provided by the SEC, the Board of Directors has authorized a shareholder vote on the Company’s executive compensation plans, programs and arrangements as reflected in the Compensation Discussion and Analysis, the disclosures regarding named executive officer compensation provided in the various tables included in this Proxy Statement, the accompanying narrative disclosures and the other compensation information provided in this Proxy Statement. This proposal, commonly known as a “Say-on-Pay” proposal, gives the Company’s shareholders the opportunity to endorse or not endorse the Company’s executive pay program and policies through the following resolution:

“Resolved, that the shareholders of FPB Bancorp, Inc. approve the overall executive compensation policies and procedures employed by the Company, as described in the Company’s Proxy Statement for the 2009 Annual Meeting of Shareholders.”

Vote Required and Effect

Approval of FPB’s executive compensation policies and procedures requires that the number of votes cast in favor of the proposal exceed the number of votes cast against it. Abstentions and broker non-votes will not be counted as votes cast and therefore will not affect the determination as to whether FPB’s executive compensation policies and procedures are approved. Because this shareholder vote is advisory, it will not be binding upon FPB, the Board of Directors or the Compensation Committee. However, the Compensation Committee will take into account the outcome of the vote when considering future executive compensation arrangements.

The Board of Directors Recommends that the

Shareholders Vote “FOR” Approval of

the Proposal on Executive Compensation.

CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS

FPB does not have any related transactions with its directors or executive officers and it does not make loans to its directors or executive officers. Certain directors, executive officers, and their immediate family members are, however, customers of the Bank. It is anticipated that such individuals will continue to be customers in the future. Loans made to directors, executive officers, and their immediate families require approval of a majority of the disinterested directors approving the loan. All transactions between FPB, the Bank, and their directors, executive officers, the immediate family members of directors and executive officers, and any principal shareholders, were made in the ordinary course of business on substantially the same terms, including interest rates and collateral, as those prevailing at the time for comparable transactions with non-affiliated persons, and in the opinion of management, did not involve more than the normal risk of collectability or present any other unfavorable features.

As of December 31, 2008, loans to directors, executive officers, and their immediate family members represented approximately $3.9 million, or approximately 2.11% of the total loan portfolio, all of which are current and performing according to their terms.

PROPOSAL 3. RATIFICATION OF THE APPOINTMENT OF THE

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR FOR THE FISCAL YEAR ENDING

DECEMBER 31, 2009

Following consultation with the Audit/Compliance Committee, the Board of Directors intends to retain the accounting firm of Hacker, Johnson & Smith, P.A. (“Hacker, Johnson”), as the independent auditors for FPB and the Bank for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2009. A representative from the firm is expected to be present at the Annual Meeting to make a statement and to respond to any shareholder questions.

Audit Fees: The aggregate fees billed for professional services by Hacker, Johnson, in connection with the audit of the annual financial statements and the reviews of the financial statements included in FPB’s quarterly filings with the SEC for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2007 and December 31, 2008, were $59,500 and $48,000 respectively.

Tax Fees: In 2007 and 2008, Hacker, Johnson also billed FPB $6,000 and $5,000 respectively, for tax compliance and advice, including the preparation of FPB’s corporate tax returns.

All Other Fees: Beyond those fees described above, Hacker, Johnson did not bill FPB for any other services in 2007 or 2008.

In all instances, Hacker, Johnson’s performance of those services was pre-approved by FPB’s Audit/Compliance Committee, pursuant to its internal policies, except for the category of All Other Fees, which was less than 5% of the total fees.

In order to be adopted, this item must be approved by the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of FPB’s common stock present or represented by proxy and entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting. If the shareholders do not vote in favor of the appointment of Hacker, Johnson, the Board of Directors will consider the selection of other auditors.

The Board of Directors Recommends that the Shareholders

Vote “For” the Ratification of the Independent Auditor for the

Fiscal Year Ending December 31, 2009.

PROPOSAL 4. ADJOURNMENT OF THE ANNUAL MEETING

The Board of Directors seeks your approval to adjourn the Annual Meeting in the event that there are not a sufficient number of votes to approve Proposals 1, 2 or 3 at the Annual Meeting. In order to permit proxies that have been timely received to be voted for an adjournment, we are submitting this item as a separate matter for your consideration. If it is necessary to adjourn the Annual Meeting, and the adjournment is for a period of less than 30 days, no notice of the time or place of the reconvened meeting will be given to shareholders, other than an announcement made at the Annual Meeting.

The Board of Directors Recommends that the Shareholders

Vote “For” the Approval of the Adjournment of the Annual Meeting.

COMPLIANCE WITH SECTION 16(a) OF THE

SECURITIES EXCHANGE ACT OF 1934

Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 requires our executive officers, directors, and any person who beneficially owns more than 10% of our common stock, to file reports of ownership and changes in ownership with the SEC. Directors, executive officers, and more than 10% shareholders are required by regulation to furnish us with copies of all Section 16(a) forms that they file. Based solely on the review of copies of the filings we have received, or representations from such reporting persons, it is our belief that during 2008, no directors or executive officers made late Form 4 filings under Section 16(a).

SHAREHOLDER PROPOSALS

In order to be eligible for inclusion in our proxy materials for the 2009 Annual Meeting, a shareholder’s proposal to take action at such meeting must be received at our corporate headquarters at 1301 S.E. Port St. Lucie Boulevard, Port St. Lucie, Florida 34952, on or before November 11, 2009. To be included in our proxy materials, proposals must comply with the SEC’s proxy rules as provided in17 C.F.R. Section 240.14a-8.

SOLICITATION OF PROXIES

The cost of soliciting proxies on behalf of the Board of Directors for the Annual Meeting will be borne by FPB. Proxies may be solicited by directors, officers, or our regular employees, in person or by telephone, e-mail, or mail. We are requesting persons and entities holding shares in their names, or in the names of their nominees, to send proxy materials to, and obtain proxies from, such beneficial owners. Those persons and entities will be reimbursed for their reasonable out-of-pocket expenses.

LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

Neither FPB nor the Bank is, or has been during the last year, involved in any litigation or legal proceeding other than in the normal course of business.
