RULE 13e-3 TRANSACTION STATEMENT

INTRODUCTION

This Amendment No. 2 (the “Amendment”) amends and supplements the Rule 13e-3 Transaction Statement on Schedule 13E-3 (the “Schedule 13E-3”) filed by Clarkston Financial Corporation, a Michigan corporation (the “Company”), with the Securities and Exchange Commission on January 11, 2008, as amended February 25, 2008. This final Amendment is being filed pursuant to Rule 13e-3(d)(3) as the final Amendment to Schedule 13E-3 to report the results of the Recapitalization (as defined and described in the Schedule 13E-3).

On Wednesday, March 26, 2008, at a special meeting of the shareholders of the Company, the shareholders approved and adopted the two amendments to the Company’s Articles of Incorporation described in the Schedule 13E-3. On Thursday, March 27, 2008, the Company filed a Certificate of Amendment for each of the two amendments approved and adopted by the Company’s shareholders. As set forth in such Certificates of Amendment, the first amendment (effecting a reverse stock split) became effective at 11:58 p.m., local time, on March 27, 2008, and the second amendment (effecting a forward stock split) became effective at 11:59 p.m., local time, on March 28, 2008. As a result of these successive amendments to the Company’s Articles of Incorporation, the Company will be redeeming shares of its common stock from those shareholders who owned fewer than 111 shares of the Company’s common stock on March 27, 2008. The Company is sending transmittal letters to those shareholders with instructions on how to return their stock certificates in exchange for the cash payment due to them in connection with this transaction.

As a result of these transactions, there are now fewer than 300 holders of record of the Company’s stock.
