NORTH BAY BANCORP AUTHORIZES STOCK REPURCHASE PLAN

NAPA, CA – June 9, 2006 – North Bay Bancorp (Nasdaq: NBAN), holding company for The Vintage Bank and its Solano Bank division, today announced that the Board of Directors has renewed its approval of a plan to repurchase shares of the Company’s common stock and increased the maximum aggregate price from $1 million to $5 million.  Purchases are to be made, as conditions warrant, from time to time in the open market.  The duration of the program remains open-ended and the timing of purchases will depend on market conditions.

President and CEO Terry L. Robinson stated, “All of our capital ratios are increasing due to the slowing of our asset growth in the past 18 months as compared to the rates of the previous five years.  This authorization provides one more tool to help us prudently manage our capital in a slower growth environment.  We continue to believe that the repurchase of stock from time to time represents a favorable and prudent investment opportunity for the Company, which should enhance earnings per share, return on equity and shareholder value.  NBAN’s strong capital position supports the continuation and expansion of this program.”
