This presentation has been prepared by First Guaranty Bancshares, Inc. (the “Company”) solely for informational purposes based on its own information, as well as
information from public sources.  This presentation has been prepared to assist interested parties in making their own evaluation of the Company and does not
purport to contain all of the information that may be relevant.  In all cases, interested parties should conduct their own investigation and analysis of the Company.
This
presentation
is
not
an
offer
to
sell
securities,
nor
is
it
a
solicitation
of
an
offer
to
buy
securities
in
any
locality,
state,
country
or
other
jurisdiction
where
such
distribution,
publication,
availability
or
use
would
be
contrary
to
law
or
regulation
or
which
would
require
any
registration
or
licensing
within
such
jurisdiction.
Neither the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) nor any other regulatory body has approved or disapproved of the securities of the Company or
passed upon the accuracy or adequacy of this presentation.  Any representation to the contrary is a criminal offense.
Except as otherwise indicated, this presentation speaks as of the date hereof.  The delivery of this presentation shall not, under any circumstances, create any
implication there has been no change in the affairs of the Company after the date hereof.
This presentation includes industry and market data that we obtained from periodic industry publications, third-party studies and surveys.  Industry publications
and surveys generally state that the information contained therein has been obtained from sources believed to be reliable.  Although we believe the industry and
market data to be reliable as of the date of this presentation, this information could prove to be inaccurate.  Industry and market data could be wrong because of
the
method
by
which
sources
obtained
their
data
and
because
information
cannot
always
be
verified
with
complete
certainty
due
to
the
limits
on
the
availability
and reliability of raw data, the voluntary nature of the data gathering process and other limitations and uncertainties.  In addition, we do not know all of the
assumptions
regarding
general
economic
conditions
or
growth
that
were
used
in
preparing
the
forecasts
from
the
sources
relied
upon
or
cited
herein.
This presentation contains financial information determined by methods other than in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United
States of America (“GAAP”).  Management uses these “non-GAAP” measures in its analysis of our performance.  Management believes that these non-GAAP
financial measures allows for better comparability with prior periods, as well as with peers in the industry who provide a similar presentation, and provide a
greater understanding of our ongoing operations.
These
disclosures
should
not
be
viewed
as
a
substitute
for
operating
results
determined
in
accordance
with
GAAP,
nor
are
they
necessarily
comparable
to
non-
GAAP performance measures that may be presented by other companies.
A
reconciliation
of
the
non-GAAP
measures
used
in
this
presentation
to
the
most
directly
comparable
GAAP
measures
is
provided
in
the
Appendix
to
this
presentation.

Forward Looking Statements
2
These slides and the accompanying oral presentation contain forward-looking statements, which can be identified by the use of words
such as “estimate,” “project,” “believe,” “intend,” “anticipate,” “assume,” “plan,” “seek,” “expect,” “will,” “may,” “should,” “indicate,”
“would,” “believe,” “contemplate,” “continue,” “target” and words of similar meaning. These forward-looking statements include, but are
not limited to:
statements of our goals, intentions and expectations;
statements regarding our business plans, prospects, growth and operating strategies;
statements regarding the asset quality of our loan and investment portfolios; and
estimates of our risks and future costs and benefits.
These forward-looking statements are based on our current beliefs and expectations and are inherently subject to significant business,
economic and competitive uncertainties and contingencies, many of which are beyond our control. In addition, these forward-looking
statements
are
subject
to
assumptions
with
respect
to
future
business
strategies
and
decisions
that
are
subject
to
change.
We
are
under
no duty to and do not take any obligation to update any forward-looking statements after the date of this presentation.
The following factors, among others, could cause actual results to differ materially from the anticipated results or other expectations
expressed in the forward-looking statements:
our ability to manage our operations under the current economic conditions nationally and in our market area;
adverse changes in the financial industry, securities, credit and national local real estate markets (including real estate values);
risks related to a high concentration of loans secured by real estate located in our market area;
the impact of any potential strategic transactions;
our ability to enter new markets successfully and capitalize on growth opportunities;
significant increases in our loan losses, including as a result of our inability to resolve classified and non-performing assets or reduce risks
associated with our loans, and management’s assumptions in determining the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses;
credit risks of lending activities, including changes in the level and trend of loan delinquencies and write-offs and in our allowance for
loan losses and provision for loan losses;
competition among depository and other financial institutions;
our success in increasing our commercial real estate and commercial and industrial lending;


Forward Looking Statements (cont’d)
3
our ability to attract and maintain deposits and our success in introducing new financial products;
our ability to improve our asset quality even as we increase our commercial real estate and commercial and industrial lending;
changes in interest rates generally, including changes in the relative differences between short-term and long-term interest rates and in
deposit interest rates, that may affect our net interest margin and funding sources;
fluctuations in the demand for loans;
technological changes that may be more difficult or expensive than expected;
changes in consumer spending, borrowing and savings habits;
declines in the yield on our assets resulting from the current low interest rate environment;
changes in laws or government regulations or policies affecting financial institutions, including the Dodd-Frank Act and the JOBS Act,
which could result in, among other things, increased deposit insurance premiums and assessments, capital requirements, regulatory fees
and compliance costs, particularly the new capital regulations, and the resources we have available to address such changes;
changes in accounting policies and practices, as may be adopted by the bank regulatory agencies, the Financial Accounting Standards
Board, the Securities and Exchange Commission or the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board;
changes in our compensation and benefit plans, and our ability to retain key members of our senior management team and to address
staffing needs in response to product demand or to implement our strategic plans;
loan delinquencies and changes in the underlying cash flows of our borrowers;
the impairment of our investment securities;
our ability to control costs and expenses, particularly those associated with operating as a publicly traded company;
the failure or security breaches of computer systems on which we depend;
the ability of key third-party service providers to perform their obligations to us; and
other economic, competitive, governmental, regulatory and operational factors affecting our operations.
Because of these and a wide variety of other uncertainties, many of which are beyond our control, our actual future results may be
materially different from the results indicated by these forward-looking statements.

banking agencies (FBA)), its subsidiaries, and affiliates that totals $20 million or more and (1) is shared by three or more insured institutions under a formal lending agreement or (2) a
portion of which is sold to two or more insured institutions, with the purchasing institutions assuming a pro rata share of the credit risk. An agent originates a SNC and administers it

Public Funds Business Line Overview
24
First Guaranty has an expertise in managing public funds deposits
First Guaranty has $600 million of public funds deposits outstanding (44.5% of total
deposits) at June 30, 2015
Majority of deposits are under contractual relationships.  First Guaranty seeks to be
fiscal agent for the public entity and provide multiple services to them.
Highly efficient business model
First Guaranty’s public funds require pledging
Most relationships require pledging of 100%
Pledge can include FHLB letters of credit, which will allow First Guaranty to increase its loans
to deposits ratio
Goal is to transition more public funds into a funding source for loans over time as we grow
our loan portfolio.
First Guaranty manages liquidity and interest rate risk in this portfolio by
Maintaining average life of the securities portfolio so as to provide flexibility for reinvestment
of cash flows
