Effective November 24, 2009, the Board of Directors of FNBH Bancorp, Inc. (the "Corporation") appointed Mr. Philip C. Utter as a director. Mr. Utter was appointed as a director of First National Bank in Howell (the "Bank"), the wholly-owned subsidiary of the Corporation, effective October 15, 2009, as disclosed in a Current Report on Form 8-K filed by the Corporation on October 22, 2009.
There are no arrangements or understandings between Mr. Utter and any other person pursuant to which he was selected as a director.
Except as disclosed below, there have been no transactions since January 1, 2008, nor are there any currently proposed transactions, to which the Corporation or any of its subsidiaries was or is to be a party, in which the amount involved exceeds $120,000 and in which Mr. Utter had, or will have, a direct or indirect material interest that is required to be disclosed pursuant to Item 404(a) of Regulation S-K.
Mr. Utter may be a customer of the Bank and may have had transactions with the Bank in the ordinary course of business. All loans and commitments included in such transactions 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 other persons, do not involve an unusual risk of collectibility or present other unfavorable features, and were made in compliance with applicable banking regulations.
Mr. Utter has been appointed to the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors of the Corporation. Mr. Utter also serves as Chairman of the Finance Committee of the Board of Directors of the Bank.
