The following email was sent to employees of
First Bancorp on November 5, 2026:
Dear Colleagues:
We are incredibly excited to announce that First Bancorp, Inc.
and First Capital, Inc., parent companies of First Federal Savings Bank and First Harrison Bank, respectively, have entered into
a definitive agreement to combine our companies. We look forward to embarking on this journey with you as we build a stronger, more resilient
financial institution serving customers in Southern/Southwestern Indiana and Northern Kentucky.
Over the last several weeks, individuals from both institutions have
worked closely together to learn more about each of our respective organizations. We have learned, very clearly, that our companies share
an aligned vision to drive mission, culture, and values in everything we do. Our collective commitment to serving customers with efficient,
high-quality service is reflected in the strong financial results both our companies are producing.
As our organizations have gotten to know each other better, our confidence
in how beneficial this combination will be for our customers and employees has only increased. We have been deeply impressed with each
other’s dedication, hard work and the highly regarded institutions built. Now, we look forward to advancing together as a unified
institution.
As pleased as we are about combining our companies, we must receive
shareholder and regulatory approvals before we begin operating as one company, which we expect will occur in the second quarter of 2027
with an expected conversion in the third quarter of 2027. In the meantime, this does not change anything that you do each day. Please
continue to act with the same dedication and focus that you always have as you deliver quality service to your customers.
When the transition is finalized, the combined company will embrace
the best practices of both organizations, which we expect will create exciting opportunities for employees. We have already begun forming
integration teams to help plan for the combination and we intend to work closely together to achieve a seamless integration of our two
organizations.
We have created
an email address where you can send any questions: AskFHB@firstharrison.com. We will address questions in ongoing communications
that we will send out regularly.
Together, we will advance our strategy, mission, and shared values.
We look forward to meeting with as many of you as possible in the weeks and months ahead, and we thank you for your focus on making this
combination a success.
Best regards,
