REVOCABLE PROXY ALPENA BANCSHARES, M.H.C. SPECIAL MEETING OF MEMBERS, MARCH ___, 2005 The undersigned member of Alpena Bancshares, M.H.C. (the "Mutual Holding Company") hereby appoints the full Board of Directors, with full powers of substitution to act as attorneys and proxies for the undersigned to vote such votes as the undersigned may be entitled to vote at the Special Meeting of Members of the Mutual Holding Company (the "Meeting") to be held at the Thunder Bay Recreational Center, 701 Woodward Avenue, Alpena, Michigan, at _:__ p.m. Michigan time, on March ___, 2005, and at any and all adjournments thereof. They are entitled to cast all votes to which the undersigned is entitled as follows: 1. A plan of conversion and reorganization (the "Plan") pursuant to which the Mutual Holding Company will be merged into First Federal of Northern Michigan (the "Bank"), and the Company will be succeeded by First Federal of Northern Michigan Bancorp, Inc., a Maryland corporation that has been established for the purpose of completing the conversion and reorganization. As described in the enclosed material, the rights of stockholders of the new Maryland corporation will be more limited than the rights stockholders currently have. As part of the conversion and reorganization, shares of common stock representing the Mutual Holding Company's ownership interest in the Company will be offered for sale in a stock offering by First Federal of Northern Michigan Bancorp, Inc. Shares of common stock of the Company currently held by public stockholders will be exchanged for new shares pursuant to an exchange ratio that will ensure that stockholders at the time of the exchange will own the same percentage of First Federal of Northern Michigan Bancorp, Inc. after the conversion and reorganization as was held in Alpena Bancshares, Inc. immediately prior thereto, exclusive of any shares purchased by the stockholder in the offering and cash received in lieu of fractional shares, and shares contributed to the Foundation; and 2.The contribution by Alpena Bancshares, M.H.C. to the First Federal Community Foundation (the "Foundation") of (i) cash in an amount equal to the value of 2% of the shares of First Federal of Northern Michigan Bancorp, Inc.'s common stock sold in the offering, PROVIDED the cash contribution does not exceed $375,000, and (ii) First Federal of Northern Michigan Bancorp, Inc. common stock equal to 2% of the shares of common stock sold in the offering, PROVIDED that the common stock contribution does not exceed 37,500 shares. The contribution of shares and cash to the Foundation will dilute the voting interests of stockholders and will result in an expense, and a related reduction in earnings, for the quarter in which the conversion is completed; and such other business as may properly come before the Meeting. Management is not aware of any other business to be considered. THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS A VOTE "FOR" EACH OF THE LISTED PROPOSALS. IMPORTANT: PLEASE VOTE, DATE AND SIGN ON THE REVERSE SIDE. NOT VOTING WILL HAVE THE SAME EFFECT AS VOTING AGAINST BOTH PROPOSALS. VOTING DOES NOT OBLIGATE YOU TO BUY STOCK.
