First Northern Community Bancorp Announces

Postponement of Annual Meeting of Shareholders

Dixon, California – May 9, 2020 – The Board of Directors of FirstNorthern Community Bancorp (the “Company”, OTCQB: FNRN), holding company for First Northern Bank, announced today that, in light of the continuing public health concerns regarding the COVID-19 (coronavirus) pandemic, the 2020 Annual Meeting of Shareholders (the “Annual Meeting”) of the Company, originally scheduled to be held on Tuesday, May 19, 2020, at 5:30 p.m., local time, at First Northern Bank’s Operations Center (210 Stratford Avenue, Dixon, California), has been postponed.

The Company now plans to hold the Annual Meeting on June 25, 2020 at 5:30 p.m., local time, at the same location.  As described in the proxy materials for the Annual Meeting previously distributed, you are entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting, or any postponement or adjournment thereof, if you were a shareholder of record at the close of business on March 31, 2020, the record date.  There will be no reception following the Annual Meeting this year.

Your vote is very important. Whether or not you plan to attend the Annual Meeting, and regardless of the number of shares you own, we urge you to vote by promptly signing, dating and returning the Proxy Card included with the proxy materials previously distributed.

For more than 110 years, First Northern has been putting people first. The safety of our employees, customers, communities and shareholders is our first priority. At this time, we expect to hold the Annual Meeting on the postponed date, and we will take necessary precautions to protect the health and safety of those who attend.  Given the uncertainty around the pandemic, including the duration and spread of the outbreak, and how quickly and to what extent shelter in place and physical distancing restrictions and other mitigation measures will be lifted, further changes affecting the Annual Meeting date, time or location, or the process by which you may attend the Annual Meeting (for example, if our Annual Meeting is held so as to allow shareholder access and participation through remote communications. rather than in person), may be necessary or advisable to comply with the recommendations and directives of the Centers for Disease Control, the California Department of Public Health and local County Public Health departments.  If we make any further change affecting the Annual Meeting date, time or location, or the process by which you may attend the Annual Meeting, we will announce the decision to do so in advance.

If you have any questions or need additional information, please contact: Ms. Devon Camara-Soucy, Corporate Secretary, First Northern Community Bancorp, 195 North First Street, Dixon, California 95620, or by telephone at (707) 678-3041.
