TABLE OF CONTENTS

EX-99.1

Item 2.01. Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.

On December 17, 2007, First Citizens Banc Corp (“First Citizens”) issued a news release announcing the completion of the merger of Futura Banc Corp., an Ohio corporation (“Futura”), with and into First Citizens (the “Merger”), pursuant to the terms of the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of June 7, 2007, by and between First Citizens and Futura (the “Merger Agreement”). Immediately following the Merger, Futura’s national bank subsidiary, Champaign National Bank, was merged with and into First Citizens’ state bank subsidiary, The Citizens Banking Company.

As a result of the Merger, the outstanding Futura common shares were converted into the right to receive either (a) cash in the amount of $23.00 for each Futura common share, (b) First Citizens common shares at the exchange rate of 1.1726 First Citizens common shares for each Futura common share, or (c) a combination of cash and First Citizens common shares. In accordance with the terms of the Merger Agreement, the shareholders of Futura were provided the opportunity to request the form of merger consideration that they wished to receive in the Merger by submitting an Election Form/Letter of Transmittal to First Citizens’ exchange agent, Illinois Stock Transfer Company (the “Election Deadline”), on or before the December 12, 2007 election deadline. The requests submitted by Futura shareholders, however, will be subject to the allocation and proration procedures set forth in the Merger Agreement. Subject to adjustment for cash paid in lieu of fractional First Citizens common shares, the requests of the Futura shareholders will be allocated on a pro-rata basis so that 80% of the Futura common shares outstanding at the effective time of the Merger will be exchanged for First Citizens common shares and 20% of the outstanding Futura common shares will be exchanged for cash. Futura common shares held in Futura’s 401(k) plan will not be counted for purposes of this allocation, and all those shares will be exchanged for cash in the amount of $23.00 per share.

At the time of the Merger, Futura had 2,617,314 common shares outstanding, of which 118,666 were held in Futura’s 401(k) plan. First Citizens expects to pay to the Futura shareholders aggregate consideration consisting of approximately $14.2 million in cash and 2,343,931 First Citizens common shares in exchange for the outstanding Futura common shares.

In accordance with the terms of the Merger Agreement, each option to purchase Futura common shares and each Futura stock appreciation right that was outstanding immediately prior to the Merger was terminated and converted into the right to receive an amount in cash equal to the product of (i) the difference between $23, less the exercise price of each option or stock appreciation right, multiplied by (ii) the number of Futura common shares subject to the option or stock appreciation right. Immediately prior to the Merger, 276,640 common shares of Futura were subject to outstanding options with a weighted average exercise price of $14.50 per share, and 30,999 common shares were subject to, but not issuable upon conversion of, stock appreciation rights with a weighted average exercise price of $15.23 per share. First Citizens estimates that an aggregate of $2.5 million will be paid to holders of the outstanding Futura options and stock appreciation rights.

A copy of the news release announcing the completion of the Merger is included with this Current Report on Form 8-K as Exhibit 99.1 and incorporated herein by reference.

Item 5.02. Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.

Wiedrick to serve on the Board of Directors of First Citizens effective upon the completion of the Merger on December 17, 2007.
