First Northern Community Bancorp Announces Nasdaq Capital Market Listing Application Submission

For immediate release

Dixon, Calif., March 24, 2026 - First Northern Community Bancorp (OTCQX: FNRN), the parent company of First Northern Bank, today announced that it has submitted an application to list its common stock on the Nasdaq Capital Market and uplist from the OTCQX Market. The Company is working to satisfy Nasdaq's quantitative and corporate governance listing requirements. However, there can be no assurance that the Company will satisfy all listing requirements or that Nasdaq will approve the application.

Pursuing a listing on a national exchange reflects the Company's continued strategic focus on disciplined growth, strong governance, and expanding awareness among a broader range of investors, while maintaining its long-standing commitment to the communities it serves.

"This application represents a meaningful milestone for First Northern and speaks to the progress we've made as an organization. We believe a Nasdaq listing would enhance our visibility in the market and support our ongoing commitment to delivering long-term value for our shareholders," said Jeremiah Smith, President and CEO of First Northern Community Bancorp.

If approved, the Company's common stock will begin trading on the Nasdaq Capital Market and would no longer trade on the OTCQX Market.
