PROPOSAL 1 — 2011 ELECTION OF DIRECTORS

          The Corporation’s Board of Directors is divided into three classes. Each year, on a rotating basis, the terms of office of the directors in one of the three classes expire. Directors are elected for a three year term. The directors whose terms expire at the annual meeting (“Class II Directors”) are Ronald K. Rybar, JoAnne Shaw and James A Wesseling. The Board has nominated these same individuals for reelection as Class II Directors. If elected, the terms of these directors will expire at the 2014 annual meeting of shareholders.

          Except for those individuals nominated by the Board of Directors, no persons may be nominated for election at the 2011 annual meeting. The Corporation’s Bylaws require at least 120 days prior written notice of any other proposed shareholder nominations. No nominations were received from a shareholder prior to the required written notice date.

          The proposed nominees are willing to be elected and to serve. In the event that any nominee is unable to serve or is otherwise unavailable for election, which is not now contemplated, the incumbent Board of Directors may or may not select a substitute nominee. If a substitute nominee is selected, all proxies will be voted for the person so selected. If a substitute nominee is not so selected, all proxies will be voted for the election of the remaining nominees. Proxies will not be voted for a greater number of persons than the number of nominees named.

          A vote of shareholders holding a plurality of shares voting is required to elect directors. For the purpose of counting votes on this proposal, abstentions, broker nonvotes, and other shares not voted will not be counted as shares voted. Abstentions and broker non-votes are counted for the purpose of determining whether a quorum is present.

The Nomination Process

          Director nominees are considered and must be recommended to the full Board by the Director Selection Committee, whose members are independent under SEC and NASDAQ standards. When considering a potential candidate for membership on the Corporation’s Board, the Committee seeks to identify candidates who will meet the challenges and needs of the Board. The Committee considers, among other qualifications, demonstrated character and judgment, diversity, geographic representation, professional credentials, recognition in the marketplace, and experience in business and the financial industry. While the Committee considers diversity among the various qualifications, it has not adopted a formal diversity policy. In addition, the Committee has not established specific minimum age, education, and years of business experience or specific types of skills for potential candidates, but, in general, expects qualified candidates will have ample experience and a proven record of business success and leadership. In general, the Board requires that each of its members will have the highest personal and professional ethics, integrity and values; will consistently exercise sound and objective business judgment; and will have a comfort with diversity in its broadest sense. In addition, it is anticipated that the Board as a whole will have individuals with significant appropriate senior management and leadership experience, a comfort with technology, a long-term and strategic perspective, and the ability to advance constructive debate. It is considered important for the Board as a whole to operate in an atmosphere where the chemistry of the Board is collaborative and constructive in effectively representing the interests of the shareholders.

          The Committee will consider shareholder nominations for directors submitted in accordance with the procedure set forth in Article III, Section 15(c) of the Corporation’s Bylaws. The procedure provides that a notice relating to the nomination must be given in writing to the Corporation not later than 120 days prior to the annual meeting. Such notice must contain identification information, business experience and background information with respect to the proposed nominee and contain information with respect to the proposed nominee’s share ownership. There are no differences in the manner in which the Committee evaluates a candidate that is recommended for nomination for membership on the Corporation’s Board by a shareholder. As noted, the Board has appropriately considered nominations from the Corporation’s shareholders in connection with the annual meeting.

          Upon receipt of information concerning a shareholder proposed candidate, the Committee assesses the Board’s needs, primarily whether or not there is a current or pending vacancy or a possible need to fulfill by adding or replacing a director, and then develops a director profile by comparing the current state of Board characteristics with the desired state and the candidate’s qualifications. The profile and the candidate’s submitted information are provided to the Board for discussion. Similarly, if at any time the Committee determines there may be a need to add or replace a director, the Committee develops a director profile by comparing the current state of Board characteristics with the desired state. If no candidates are apparent from any source, the Committee will determine the appropriate method to conduct a search. The Committee has, to date, not paid any third party fee to assist in identifying and evaluating nominees.

          With regard to the nominations of Mr. Rybar and Ms. Shaw, as directors of the Corporation, each of the nominees was recommended by non-management directors.

Independence of Directors and Attendance at Meetings

          The Board of Directors of the Corporation is composed of a majority of independent directors (as independence is defined in Rule 5605 of the NASDAQ Listing Standards). The Board has determined that each of Messrs. Dery, McKenney, Petty, Rotman, Rybar, Shook, and Wesseling and Ms. Shaw are independent. During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2010, the Board of Directors of the Corporation held a total of 12 regular meetings. Various committees of the Board held meetings as needed. Each director attended at least 75 percent of the total meetings of the Board of Directors and meetings of the committees on which he or she served. The Corporation also encourages all members of the Board to attend the Corporation’s annual meeting of shareholders each year. All members of the Board of Directors of the Corporation attended the Corporation’s 2010 annual meeting with the exception of Mr. Wesseling.

Separate Chairman and Chief Executive Position and Board’s Oversight of Risk

          Since the inception of the holding company in 1987, the Corporation has chosen to have independence between board leadership and the bank leadership. Accordingly, board leadership positions including the Chairmanship of the board and Audit Committee have always been outside or non-management directors. While the Chief Executive Officer’s role is respected as to independence in bank operations on a day-today basis, the Chairman’s independence provides meaningful and appropriate oversight in fulfilling the fiduciary responsibilities of the board and representing the interests of the shareholders.

          Responsibilities for managing the various types of risks inherent in the Corporation and the Banks are spread among the holding company and bank boards and committees, various members of management and management committees. As a separately chartered institution, The State Bank is authorized and empowered by Michigan and federal banking law and regulation to operate autonomously as a commercial bank. Through a disciplined structure of board delegated authority, individuals and committees are empowered to monitor and control operational risks, credit risks, interest rate risks, etc. Internal and external testing is utilized to determine compliance with risk control procedures. Affiliate bank boards are heavily involved in monitoring reports, interacting with management, and communicating with external audit firms. Summary reports are provided to the holding company board for review and monitoring. Importantly, most holding company directors also serve on one or more subsidiary bank boards which means that most holding company directors are intimately aware of, and involved in, risk management at both the subsidiary bank and holding company levels.

          At the holding company level, the Audit Committee reviews with management, the internal auditor and the independent auditor, the Corporation’s financial risks, the Corporation’s risk management process, any major issues as to the adequacy of the Corporation’s internal controls and any special audit steps adopted in light of any material control deficiencies.

Communication with the Corporation’s Board of Directors

          Shareholders may communicate with members of the Corporation’s Board by mail addressed to the Board of Directors, a specific member of the Board, or to a particular committee of the Board at 175 North Leroy Street, P.O. Box 725, Fenton, Michigan 48430-0725.

Director Compensation

          The Corporation and Affiliate Bank directors are compensated in cash retainer fees or through participation in the stock purchase plan. Each director of the Corporation is paid an annual retainer fee. In 2010, the annual retainer was $6,000. The Chairman of the Board receives an additional annual $1,000 retainer fee. The Chairman of the Audit Committee receives an additional $250 for each Audit Committee meeting attended and the remaining Audit Committee members receive $125 for attending each Audit Committee meeting. Directors of the Corporation who also serve on Affiliate Bank Boards received additional compensation in connection with their Affiliate Bank Board service during 2010.

          Stock option grants are available to directors who are not employees of the Corporation under the 1996 Nonemployee Director Stock Option Plan. However, no options were granted to directors during the year 2010 and no options have been granted to directors since 1999. Exercisable stock options issued in prior years are included in the table and footnotes which appear on page 5.

          Directors of the Corporation and the Subsidiary Banks may use director cash retainer fees to purchase shares of the Corporation issued by the Corporation at fair market value under the Corporation’s Director Stock Retainer Plan. Directors may also use other personal funds or cash retainer fees to purchase shares under the Fentura Financial, Inc. Stock Purchase Plan. This plan permits all employees of the Corporation and Subsidiary Banks, as well as directors, to purchase shares at fair market value through regular payroll or fee deductions and also through lump sum payments. The maximum annual dollar amount of purchases per individual through payroll or fee deductions is $10,000 and the maximum annual dollar amount of lump sum purchases is also $10,000, for a total annual maximum of $20,000.

Code of Ethics

           Fentura Financial, Inc. is dedicated to upholding the highest ethical standards and principles throughout our operations. Our Code of Ethics is a product of our commitment to comply with the law and to conduct business ethically while reinforcing values of trust, respect, dignity, and honesty which form the foundation for our relationships with our shareholders, employees, and customers. The Corporation’s Board of Directors reaffirmed its Code of Ethics on January 27, 2011. The Code details principles and responsibilities governing professional and ethical conduct for all directors and officers of the Corporation and its Affiliate Banks. Any changes or waivers to the Code of Ethics will be promptly disclosed in our SEC filings.

          Going beyond the legal requirements for corporate ethics, we require all board members and members of management to sign our Code and to conduct themselves consistent with its requirements. Additionally, the Boards of the Corporation and each Affiliate Bank and all Board Committees are chaired by an independent outside director and, at each Board and Audit Committee session, our outside directors reserve time for discussions without management or management directors present.

Committees of the Corporation Board

          The Corporation maintains the following standing committees: Executive, Director Selection, Audit, and Compensation/ESOP.

Executive Committee

          The Executive Committee, which met two times in 2010 consists of Messrs. Grill, McKenney, Petty, and Shook. This Committee reviews in depth the status and progress of various projects, management activities and the Corporation’s financial performance. As necessary, it provides guidance and makes recommendations to management and/or the Board of Directors. During 2010, many traditional executive committee topics were considered by the full board at regular board meetings.

Director Selection Committee

          The Corporation’s Director Selection Committee consists of Messrs. Dery, McKenney, and Shook. This Committee coordinates the process of identifying, interviewing and recommending new director candidates. In reviewing director selections, the Committee considers recommendations of shareholders. The Director Selection Committee met one time during 2010. The Board of Directors adopted a charter for the Director Selection Committee on January 27, 2011, a copy of which is available on the Corporation’s website at www.fentura.com.

Audit Committee

          During 2010, the Corporation’s Audit Committee consisted of Messrs. Elston until his April, 2010 resignation, Petty and Rotman. In the fourth quarter of the year, Mr. Rybar and Ms. Shaw were appointed to the audit committee. The Audit Committee oversees the Corporation’s corporate accounting, financial reporting and internal audit processes. For this purpose, the Audit Committee performs several functions. For example, the Audit Committee evaluates the performance of and assesses the qualifications of the independent auditors; appoints and approves the compensation of the independent auditors; determines whether to retain or terminate the existing independent auditors or to appoint and engage new independent auditors; reviews the annual internal risk based audit plan and approves the retention of auditors to perform portions of the internal audit functions and services which the independent auditors are not permitted to perform; reviews the financial statements to be included in the Corporation’s Annual Report on Form 10-K; and discusses with management and the independent auditors the results of the annual audit and the results of the Corporation’s quarterly financial statements.

Compensation/ESOP Committee

          The members of the Compensation/ESOP Committee are Messrs. Dery, Petty and Shook. This Committee oversees the administration of the Corporation’s compensation and benefit programs. The Committee met three times during 2010. The Board of Directors has a charter for the Compensation/ESOP Committee which the board approved on January 27, 2011. This charter is available on the Corporation’s website at www.fentura.com. The performance of the CEO and all Compensation/ESOP Committee items were reviewed by the committee and approved by the full Board.

EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION DISCUSSION

          During 2010, the Corporation did not compensate any of its executive officers, all of whom are also executive officers of one of the Affiliate Banks and paid for services by the Affiliate Bank following the corporate guidelines described below.

Role and Composition of the Committee

     The Compensation Committee discharges the Board’s responsibilities relating to compensation of the Corporation’s executive officers, including reviewing the competitiveness of executive compensation programs, evaluating the performance of the Corporation’s executive officers, and approving their annual compensation and equity awards. The Committee also assists the CEO in establishing annual goals and objectives and, after considering the results of the CEO performance review, recommends CEO compensation to the Board for approval. The specific responsibilities and functions of the Compensation Committee are delineated in the Compensation Committee Charter.

     The Compensation Committee has three members. Each Committee members meets the independence requirements established by NASDAQ.

     Under its Charter, the Compensation Committee has the authority to retain outside services to assist it in carrying out its duties and responsibilities. No initiatives or actions required the Committee to execute this authority in 2010. However, management used outside services provided by the legal firm Howard & Howard to assist with certain human resource issues and the Committee reviewed their recommendations.

Compensation Philosophy and Objectives

     All of our compensation programs are designed to attract and retain key employees, motivating them to achieve and rewarding them for superior performance. Different programs are geared to short and longer-term performance with the goal of increasing shareholder value over the long term. Because we believe the performance of every employee is important to our success, we are mindful of the effect of various compensation and incentive programs on all of our employees. However, the annual bonus plan historically made available to all employees was suspended for 2008, 2009 and 2010.

     We believe that the compensation of our executives, management team and employees should fairly reflect their individual success as well as the overall performance of the company. Accordingly, following the decline in company performance reported at December 31, 2007, a decision was made to freeze all management salaries for 2008. This decision changed the historical approach of considering and granting annual salary increases to executives and other members of management based upon individual and company performance for the prior year. As the economy and company performance continued to falter, in 2009, a decision was made to dramatically reduce compensation and benefit expense. Management developed a proposal which was subsequently approved by the board of directors to eliminate staff and management positions reducing overall full-time equivalent employment by seven percent. Additionally, all remaining management and staff employees accepted a 5% salary or wage cut. Furthermore, all retirement benefit contributions were suspended for the balance of the year including ESOP contributions, the 401 (k) match, and the Officer and Executive Supplemental Retirement Plans. These actions reduced salary and benefit expense by approximately $950,000 on an annualized basis. The reduced compensation and benefit levels will continue in effect until the economy and bank performance allow the company to revert to historical compensation practices and philosophy.

Components of Executive Compensation

     The components of the compensation program for executive officers are described below.

     Base Salary. Base salaries are determined based on a variety of factors, including the executive’s scope of responsibilities, a market competitive assessment of similar roles at other companies, and a comparison of salaries paid to peers within the Corporation. Base salaries are set at levels that allow the Corporation to attract and retain superior leaders that will enable the Corporation to deliver on its business goals. As mentioned above, salaries were reduced for all employees, including executive officers, during 2009. Additionally, executive officer salaries have been frozen since 2007.

     The CEO will make recommendations for base salaries for each executive officer, excluding the CEO. When setting the base salaries for executive officers, excluding the CEO, the Committee considers recommendations from the CEO and makes a final determination based on the factors listed above and the executive officer’s performance during the year.

     Bonus. Historically executives had the opportunity to earn a bonus ranging from 30% to 45% of their base salary. Bonuses are determined based upon a combination of quantative measures, the details of which are established annually by the Board of Directors. However, due to Corporation financial performance, bonus opportunities were eliminated in 2008, 2009 and 2010.

Executive Benefits

     In fiscal year 2010, Fentura’s executives were eligible for the same level and offering of benefits made available to other employees, including the Corporation’s 401(k) Plan and other benefit programs. In addition to the standard benefits offered to all employees, Fentura maintains non-qualified deferred compensation plans for certain executives. Effective October 23, 2008, Fentura modified certain non-qualified deferred compensation plans to comply with certain IRS requirements. Fentura’s contributions to the non-qualified deferred compensation plans are further discussed in the supplementary retirement benefit section of the proxy information.

How Executive Pay Levels are Determined

     Fentura participates in executive compensation benchmarking surveys that provide summarized data on levels of base salary, target annual incentives, and stock-based and other long-term incentives. These surveys also provide benchmark information on compensation practices such as the prevalence of types of compensation plans and the proportion of the types of pay components as part of the total compensation package. These surveys are supplemented by other publicly available information and input from trade associations on other factors such as recent market trends. The entire comparison group includes banks from Michigan and the Midwest. The Corporation does not customarily use consultants in establishing executive compensation. The Committee uses formal performance plans that ascribe performance expectations to the components of executive officer compensation, including salary and bonus. Company Executive severance plan information is provided on page 17.

How Stock-Based Awards are Determined

     In 2010, no stock-based awards were granted to executive officers. When granted, the level of usage is determined based on factors such as compensation levels at comparison companies relative to Fentura’s target total compensation levels and the desired mix of cash and equity pay. As appropriate, the Committee determines the appropriate usage, balancing these factors against the projected needs of the business as well as financial considerations, including the projected impact on shareholder dilution.

Compensation for the Chief Executive Officer

     The independent members of the Board approve the compensation of Donald L. Grill, President and Chief Executive Officer. The Committee recommends salary and if appropriate bonus amounts to the Board. Mr. Grill’s salary was reduced for 2009 and 2010 and his total compensation is considered competitive with industry averages. Mr. Grill did not receive a bonus for 2008, 2009 or 2010. The Summary Compensation Table sets forth all compensation received by Mr. Grill during the fiscal year 2010. He is eligible for a Corporation sponsored supplemental retirement program and the Corporation’s 401(k) and ESOP program. Fentura provides Mr. Grill with a change of control agreement, and he may be eligible for severance under the Company’s executive severance plan following a change of control.

          The following tables show the compensation for services to Affiliate Banks of the principal executive officer, principal financial officer and the two highest paid corporate executive officers who received total compensation in excess of $100,000 for the year 2010.

SUPPLEMENTAL EXECUTIVE RETIREMENT BENEFITS

          Fentura Financial, Inc., and The State Bank have entered into Supplemental Executive Retirement Agreement (SERP Agreement) with Mr. Donald L. Grill and Daniel J. Wollschlager. SERP Agreements are designed to encourage executives to remain long-term employees of the Corporation, and to provide specified benefits to certain key executives who contribute materially to the continued growth, development and future business success of the Corporation. The retirement benefits are an unsecured obligation of the Corporation. The Corporation has purchased prepaid life insurance policies in connection with Mr. Grill’s SERP, and expects investment earnings and proceeds from the policies to recover all or a portion of the annual costs for his SERP Agreement.

2010 NONQUALIFED DEFERRED COMPENSATION

          The Corporation and the Affiliate Banks have established a Non-Qualified Deferred Compensation Plan (the “Plan”) for key executives not covered under the SERP agreements. The Plan is designed to encourage highly compensated officers to remain long-term employees of the Corporation and the Affiliate Banks, and to provide the officers with supplemental retirement income. Interest is earned on the deferred compensation based on the U.S. Treasury 5 year rate at the end of each calendar year. The interest along with the deferred compensation is credited to the deferred compensation account. Discretionary contributions to the plan may be granted each Plan year by the Corporation’s Board of Directors based on financial performance of the Corporation and in an amount up to 5% of the participant’s annual compensation. Discretionary contributions under the plan are credited to a deferred compensation account established and maintained for each participant. Participants shall vest in their account based on the Plan’s schedule which begins at 3 years of service and is fully vested after 7 years of service. No contributions were made to the Non-Qualified Deferred Compensation Plan during 2010.

Qualified Retirement Plans

          The Corporation and the Affiliate Banks offer all employees two separate qualified retirement plans, the first of which is the Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP) and the second is a 401k profit sharing plan. The ESOP is 100% funded by the Corporation and/or Affiliate Banks. In order to promote longevity with the Corporation, this plan includes a vesting schedule of seven years before a participant is fully vested. The 401k profit sharing plan allows participants to defer compensation, before taxes, in order to invest in various investment vehicles. No corporate contributions were made to the ESOP during 2010. No corporate contributions were made to the 401(k)Plan during 2010.

Potential Post-Employment Payments

Payments for Termination following a Change in Control

          The Corporation and the Affiliated Banks have entered into Severance Compensation Agreements with Messrs. Grill, Kelley, and Justice. Under each of these agreements, if a “change in control” occurs while the Executive is an employee of the Corporation or the Affiliate Bank, and if within five years thereafter the Executive’s employment is terminated (i) without “cause,” (ii) by the Executive for “good reason,” or (iii) due to Executive’s death or disability, then the Corporation and the Affiliate Bank are required to pay the Executive an annual amount equal to 50% of Executive’s annual compensation in the five preceding calendar years, for a period ranging from one to five years, as specified in each Executive’s agreement (Grill and Justice — 5 years; Kelley — 2 years). Mr. Grill may also be entitled to payment for certain excise, income and other taxes that he incurs under Section 280G of the Internal Revenue Code (i.e. tax gross-up payments). The Executives other than Mr. Grill are to have their payments reduced to the extent necessary to avoid such excise and other taxes. Each Executive is also entitled to the acceleration of vesting of any outstanding stock options and/or restricted stock upon a change in control.

          “Change in Control” means (i) the acquisition, directly, indirectly and/or beneficially, by any person or group, of more than 50% of the voting securities of the Corporation or the Bank, (ii) the occurrence of any event at any time during any two year period which results in a majority of the Board of Directors of the Corporation or the Bank being comprised of individuals who were not members of such Board at the commencement of that two year period (iii) a sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Corporation or the Bank to another entity, or (iv) a merger or reorganization of the Corporation or the Bank with another entity.

          “Cause” means (i) the willful and continuing failure by the Executive to substantially perform his duties with the Bank or the Corporation and which is not remedied in a reasonable period of time after receipt by Executive of written notice from the Bank specifying the duties the Executive has failed to perform, or (ii) the willful and continued engaging by Executive in gross misconduct that is materially injurious to the Bank or the Corporation and which is not ceased within a reasonable period of time after receipt by Executive of written notice from the Bank specifying the misconduct and the injury, or (iii) an adjudication of the Executive’s guilt of any crime involving a serious and substantial breach of the Executive’s fiduciary duties to the Bank. No act or failure to act on the Executive’s part shall be considered “willful” unless done, or omitted to be done, by him in bad faith and without reasonable belief that his action or omission was in the best interest of the Bank or the Corporation.

          “Good Reason” means any of the following, as determined by the Executive in his discretion: (i) a material diminution of Executive’s duties, responsibilities or authority with the Bank or the Corporation; or (ii) the Bank or the Corporation requiring Executive to be based anywhere other than within fifty miles of their present office location; or (iii) the failure by the Corporation to obtain the assumption of the agreement. If any of the foregoing result from, or follow, a termination of employment for Cause, then Good Reason will not have occurred.

          If the Corporation had experienced a change of control during 2010, and all of the foregoing executive officers were terminated on December 31, 2010, without cause the estimated aggregate total value of compensation and benefits (including the economic benefit resulting from the acceleration of options and restricted stock) from Severance Compensation Agreements would be as follows: Mr. Grill — $756,486, Mr. Kelley- $129,565, and Mr. Justice- $401,378.

          Additionally, under the change of control provisions of the Supplemental Executive Retirement Plans, assuming executive officers were terminated on December 31, 2010 in the manner described above, Mr. Grill’s SERP would be fully accrued with a total value of $870,540. Mr. Wollschlager’s fully accrued SERP would have a value of $175,000.

RELATIONSHIP WITH INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS

          The consolidated financial statements of the Corporation for the year ended December 31, 2010 have been examined by Crowe Horwath LLP, independent certified public accountants. The Corporation’s Audit Committee selects the Corporation’s auditors before the end of each calendar year.

Fees Paid to Independent Accountants

		2010				2009
Audit Fees		$	113,500			$	138,000
Audit-Related Fees		$	40,119			$	15,000
Tax Fees		$	26,700			$	35,000
All Other Fees		$	43,223			$	58,000

          The amounts shown for “Audit-Related Fees” related to the development of tools designed to assist the Corporation in complying with certain provisions of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and related consultation and advice during 2009. These fees during 2010 were from various accounting related matters including subsidiary transaction and discontinued operations.

          The amounts shown for “Tax Fees” were for corporate tax compliance, tax advice and tax planning services.

          The amounts shown for “All Other Fees” related primarily to compliance reviews, consulting, and software licensing.

          The Audit Committee has considered whether the provision of these services is compatible with maintaining our principal auditors’ independence. Following the adoption of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and the rules promulgated thereunder, our independent auditors are proscribed from offering certain services to us. None of those proscribed services were provided to us in 2010. The Corporation’s Audit Committee has concluded that the provision of services covered under the caption “All Other Fees” is compatible with Crowe Horwath LLP maintaining their independence. None of the hours expended on Crowe Horwath LLP’s engagement to audit the Corporation’s consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2010, were attributed to work performed by persons other than Crowe Horwath LLP’s full-time, permanent employees.

          The Charter of the Audit Committee provides that the Audit Committee will administer the Corporation’s policy regarding the approval of audit and non-audit services. Under that policy, the Audit Committee must pre-approve all engagements of the Corporation’s independent auditors. Before the end of the first quarter of each year, the retention of the independent auditors to audit the Corporation’s financial statements, including the associated fee, is approved by the Audit Committee. At the same time, the Audit Committee will evaluate other known potential engagements of the independent auditors, including the scope of the work proposed to be performed and the proposed fees, and approve or reject each service, taking into account whether the services are permissible under applicable law and the possible impact of each non-audit service on the independent auditors’ independence from management. At each subsequent meeting of the Audit Committee, the Audit Committee will receive updates on the services actually provided by the independent auditors and management may present additional services for approval. The Audit Committee has delegated to the Chairman of the Audit Committee the authority to evaluate and approve engagements on behalf of the Audit Committee in the event that the need arises for pre-approval between Audit Committee meetings. This might occur, for example, if the Corporation was proposing to execute a financing on an accelerated timetable. If the Chairman so approves any such engagements, he/she is required to report that approval to the full Audit Committee at the next Audit Committee meeting.

          All of the services described above as “Audit-related Fees” and “Tax Fees” were approved under this policy.

          On February 4, 2011, Fentura Financial, Inc. (“Fentura”) dismissed its independent registered public accounting firm, Crowe Horwath LLP (“Crowe Horwath”) to be effective upon Fentura filing its 2010 Form 10-K. Crowe Horwath’s report on Fentura’s consolidated financial statements as of and for the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008 contained no adverse opinion or a disclaimer of opinion, and were not qualified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles, except that Crowe Horwath’s opinion on the 2009 consolidated financial statements included an explanatory paragraph describing substantial doubt about Fentura’s ability to continue as a going concern. The decision to change accountants was approved by the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors.

          During each of the years in the two year period ended December 31, 2010 and the subsequent interim period to the date hereof, there were no disagreements between Fentura and Crowe Horwath on any matters of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure, which disagreements, if not resolved to the satisfaction of Crowe Horwath, would have caused Crowe Horwath to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreements in connection with its reports. Fentura has provided Crowe Horwath with a copy of this disclosure and has requested that Crowe Horwath furnish it with a letter addressed to the Securities and Exchange Commission stating whether or not Crowe Horwath agrees with the above statements. A copy of such letter dated February 7, 2011 from Crowe Horwath is filed as Exhibit 16.1 to Fentura’s Form 8-K filed on February 10, 2011.

          On February 4, 2011, Fentura notified Rehmann Robson, P.C. (“Rehmann”) of the registrant’s intent to formally engage Rehmann as its new independent registered public accounting firm to be effective upon filing its 2010 Form 10-K. During the last two fiscal years and the subsequent interim period to the date hereof, Fentura did not consult with Rehmann nor did Rehmann issue any written report regarding (1) the application of accounting principles to any transaction, either completed or proposed; (2) the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on Fentura’s financial statements; or (3) any matter that was the subject of a disagreement (as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Registration S-K).

          Representatives of Crowe Horwath will be present at the Annual Meeting to answer questions. They will also have the opportunity to make a statement if they desire to do so.

PROPOSAL 2 — RATIFICATION OF ACCOUNTANTS

          The Audit Committee of the Board of Directors has selected Rehmann Robson, P.C. to serve as our independent auditors for 2011. The Board of Directors is asking the shareholders to ratify the appointment of Rehmann Robson, P.C.

          In the event our shareholders fail to ratify the selection of Rehmann Robson, P.C., the Audit Committee will consider it as a direction to select other auditors for the subsequent year. Representatives of Rehmann Robson, P.C. will be present at the Annual Meeting to answer questions. They will also have the opportunity to make a statement if they desire to do so.

          The affirmative vote of a majority of votes cast on this proposal, without regard to abstentions or broker non votes, is required for approval of this proposal.

THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS A VOTE FOR THE APPROVAL OF
REHMANN ROBSON, P.C. AS OUR INDEPENDENT AUDITORS FOR THE YEAR 2011.

COMPLIANCE WITH SECTION 16 REPORTING

          The rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission require that the Corporation disclose late filings of reports of stock ownership (and changes in stock ownership) by its directors, executive officers and beneficial owners of more than 10% of the Corporation’s common stock. Based solely on its review of the copies of such reports received by it, and written representations from certain reporting persons, the Corporation believes that during the year ended December 31, 2010, its directors, executive officers and beneficial owners of more than 10% of the Corporation’s common stock have complied with all filing requirements applicable.

OTHER INFORMATION

All such transactions with officers and directors, either directly or indirectly, have been made in the ordinary course of business and on substantially the same terms, including interest rates and collateral, as those prevailing at the same time for comparable with persons not related to the lender, and these transactions do not involve more than the normal risk of collection or present other unfavorable features. All such future transactions, including transactions with principal shareholders and other Corporation affiliates, will be made in the ordinary course of business, on terms no less favorable to the Corporation than with persons not related to the Corporation, and will be subject to approval by a majority of the Corporation’s independent, outside disinterested directors.
