Election Deadline Extended For Proposed First Citizens Banc Corp/Futura Banc Corp. Merger

In accordance with the terms of the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of June 7, 2007, by and between First Citizens Banc Corp (“First Citizens”) and Futura Banc Corp. (“Futura”), the deadline for Futura shareholders to submit an Election Form/Letter of Transmittal to First Citizens’ exchange agent, Illinois Stock Transfer Company (the “Election Deadline”), has been extended beyond the anticipated Election Deadline set forth in the Election Form/Letter of Transmittal mailed to Futura shareholders on or about October 10, 2007. The new Election Deadline is 4:00 p.m., Central Time, on December 12, 2007, which is five calendar days prior to the anticipated closing date of the merger of Futura with and into First Citizens (which currently is anticipated to occur on December 17, 2007). If the closing of the merger is extended for any reason, the Election Deadline will be further extended until up to five calendar days prior to the new anticipated closing date. In this event, First Citizens will file a Current Report on Form 8-K with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) to announce the new Election Deadline at least seven trading days prior to the new anticipated closing date.

Futura shareholders who have questions regarding their Election Form/Letter of Transmittal should contact First Citizens’ exchange agent, Illinois Stock Transfer Company, at (312) 427-2953 or (800) 757-5755 between 9:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m., Central Time, Monday through Friday.
