First Northern Community Bancorp Announces Intention to Trade Stock on the OTCQX Best Market

First Northern Community Bancorp (the “Company”, OTCQB: FNRN), holding company for First Northern Bank (“First Northern” or the “Bank”), today reported its intention to upgrade the Company’s stock trading platform from the OTCQB® Venture Market to the OTCQX® Best Market (“OTCQX”). It is anticipated that the transition will become effective on or about December 19, 2023.

Graduating to the OTCQX marks an important milestone for the Company, as it provides more transparent trading and improved access to company information for shareholders. To qualify for the OTCQX, companies must meet enhanced financial disclosure standards, follow best practice corporate governance, and demonstrate compliance with applicable securities laws.

“We have been evaluating the trading options for our common stock in an effort to increase its liquidity and have determined that the OTCQX is the appropriate next-level marketplace for a company of our size,” stated Jeremiah Smith, President & CEO of First Northern Community Bancorp and First Northern Bank. “We look forward to the enhanced visibility the OTCQX should provide FNRN to investors, brokers, and market makers with the aim of increasing shareholder value.”

The Company will remain subject to the periodic reporting requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 following the transition. Shareholders will not be required to exchange any shares, and the Company expects trading to be available without any disruption. The Company’s common stock will be quoted on the OTCQX under its current trading symbol “FNRN” on the next trading day after the OTCQB is no longer available. Once the transition is finalized, U.S. investors will be able to find current financial disclosure and Real-Time Level 2 quotes for the Company at www.otcmarkets.com.
