Item 8.01 Other Events

     Fentura Financial, Inc. (the “Company”) has provided notice to each of The Bank of New York and Wilmington Trust Company, the trustees of the Company’s junior subordinated debt securities due 2033 (“Fentura Trust I”), and junior subordinated debt securities due 2035 (“Fentura Trust II”), respectively, that as of April 13, 2009, the Company will be exercising its right to defer interest payments for each of the interest payment dates of June 15, 2009, as to the Fentura Trust I, and May 23, 2009, as to the Fentura Trust II to June 15, 2014 and May 23, 2014, respectively, unless the Company subsequently gives notice that it has elected to shorten such deferral period. The Company has the ability under each of the trust indentures to defer interest payments for up to twenty consecutive quarterly periods (five years), so long as the Company is not in default, as defined in the respective indentures. The Company is not in default under either of the indentures. Interest on the debt securities continues to accrue during the deferral period and interest on the deferred interest also accrues, both of which must be paid at the end of the deferral period. In addition, among other restrictions, during the period that an interest deferral has been elected under either of the indentures, the Company is precluded from repurchasing shares or paying dividends on its outstanding common stock or on preferred stock or paying interest or principal on debt that is pari passu or junior to the issue of debt securities as to which a deferral has been elected.

     The reason for the interest deferral is to maintain liquidity at the holding company. The total estimated annual interest that would be payable on the debt securities, if not deferred, would approximate $750,000, based on current variable rates.
