FENTURA FINANCIAL, INC. SUSPENDS PAYMENT OF QUARTERLY DIVIDEND

At the Fentura Financial, Inc. Board of Directors meeting held March 27, 2008, the board took action to suspend the payment of a 1st quarter, 2008 dividend.

According to CEO Donald L. Grill, “Suspending the dividend was one of the most difficult decisions the board has ever had to make. The decision was based solely upon the belief that it is in the company’s best interest to preserve capital given our operating performance, the declining trend in real estate and collateral values, and our continued concerns about the overall Michigan and U.S. economy. The difficulties we are experiencing are extremely challenging. The sudden collapse of the housing industry coupled with the overall decline in the economy (preceded in Michigan by the auto industry recession) has had a devastating impact on many of our borrowers. In addition to seriously damaging their ability to pay, we are seeing a dramatic decline in collateral values and continued deterioration of the loan portfolio”.
