Plumas Bancorp Receives Nasdaq Letter of Reprimand after an Inadvertent Rule Violation

QUINCY, California, October 31, 2008 – Plumas Bancorp, (NasdaqCM: PLBC), a bank holding company and the parent company of Plumas Bank, today announced that Nasdaq has closed its review of the Company’s violation of a Nasdaq rule which requires independent director oversight of the director nomination process.

The Company’s rule violation resulted from the inclusion of Mr. Douglas N. Biddle, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, in its Corporate Governance Committee. Since Mr. Biddle is an officer of the Company, he is not independent pursuant to Nasdaq Marketplace Rule 4200(a) (15), and thus not eligible to serve on this Committee which has oversight of the director nomination process.

In its letter to the Company, Nasdaq pointed out that once the rule violation was brought to the Company’s attention, that the Company acted promptly to cure the deficiency. In addition, Nasdaq noted that the failure to comply with this Marketplace rule did not appear to have been the result of a deliberate intent to avoid compliance and that the Company has not demonstrated a pattern of non-compliance. As a result, Nasdaq determined that a letter of reprimand was the appropriate action to close the matter. Plumas Bancorp is currently in compliance with the Marketplace Rule.
