First National Bank of Oxford is participating in the FDIC's Transaction Account Guarantee Program. Under that program, through December 31, 2010, all non-interest bearing transaction accounts are fully guaranteed by the FDIC for the entire amount in the account. Coverage under the Transaction Account Guarantee Program is in addition to and separate from the coverage available under the FDIC's general deposit insurance rules.

The definition of non-interest bearing transaction accounts includes both IOLTA accounts (regardless of interest rate) and NOW accounts if the interest paid on the account during the first six months of 2010 is 50 bps or less and the interest paid on the account from July 1, 2010 through December 31, 2010 is 25 bps or less. If the interest rate is above these rates at any time during these time periods, the NOW account is eligible only for the standard $250,000 in coverage under the FDIC's general deposit insurance rules.
