FELLOW SHAREHOLDERS,In school, we learned that Momentum = Mass x Velocity. At Town and Country, we have momentum.

MOMENTUM2015 was a tremendous year for our company, both financially and strategically. We posted record profits, grew our balance sheet, finished and started some exciting initiatives, and announced the largest acquisition in our company’s history. On February 29, 2016, we completed the acquisition of West Plains Investors, Inc. and Premier Bank of Jacksonville, taking our assets to approximately $700 million and further expanding our markets in central Illinois and into the metro-east market of St. Louis. In addition to entering Madison County with the Edwardsville branch of Premier, we also announced on January 27, 2016, an agreement to acquire a branch in Fairview Heights from Centrue Bank, further positioning our company in metro-east and into St. Clair County. When employees asked what made us most excited about these accomplishments, we said, “They represent tremendous momentum and opportunity for our company.”

Most importantly, we want to again warmly welcome our new customers and employees from Premier Bank of Jacksonville to the Town and Country family. We also want to welcome Paul White and Kent Weber to our senior management team and Bart Solon to our board of directors. We anticipate many more fun years together—building downstate Illinois’ most innovative and exciting banking organization!

THE PHYSICS ARE WORKINGIn addition to our growth in 2015, we posted record profits of $3.9 million. While this number included realized gains on equity securities, it also included several one-time

costs associated with our acquisition of Premier and the establishment of a new captive insurance entity—Town and Country Risk Management, Inc.—and other similar costs. Even when excluding those items, our core operating profits were higher than expected and up 23% from 2014. During 2015, we further improved our strong regulatory position and continued to enjoy strong asset and credit quality metrics, as evidenced by our non-performing asset ratio of 0.7% and allowance coverage ratio of 197%. We maintained our common dividend— balancing return to shareholders along with the need to further build our capital to support future growth capacity—and recorded an increase in our book value per share from $15.44 to $15.59. While we posted earnings per share at a record level of $1.37, we also realized a ($0.69) per share reduction in our unrealized gains in equity securities. Our common equity capital grew to $44.3 million and our year-end total risk-based capital ratio was 12.5% for Town and Country Bank.

MASS Size doesn’t matter. Size matters. You can make an argument either way. What really matters is having the critical mass—however you measure it—to be able to effectively compete in today’s evolving, complex, and highly competitive financial services industry. The reason it matters is because we owe it to our customers to be capable of providing them high-quality products and services, innovative technology, convenience, and a growing lending capacity. We are very competitive in those categories, but what truly sets us apart is our people, our culture, and our approach. We have created a family of professionals in our company

—at every level—who truly understand and live our mission every day: “Empowering the financial well-being of our communities, one person at a time.”

During 2015, our total customer relationships grew by $59 million as a result of growth in each of our lines of business. Total assets increased $21 million, loans increased $15 million, serviced loans increased $42 million, deposits increased $5 million, and our trust and investment assets grew $6 million. As I write this letter, our assets have grown to approximately $700 million and we now have over 175 professionals employed in our company, serving thousands of customers at 13 branches located in seven counties.

Whether it is assets, revenue, people, or energy, we will continue to build our mass in order to remain a relevant and valued partner in our customers’ financial lives.

VELOCITY We are extremely pleased to report that each of our core lines of business showed positive trends yet again in 2015.

Retail Banking. We have continued our outreach efforts and customer relationship management practices based on our unique approach to creating mutually beneficial and REaL connections with our customers. Over the last several years, the intention behind our enhanced outreach approach was to establish deeper relationships with our customers, engage them in discovering and realizing their financial goals, and linking them to innovative products and solutions. We believe we thrive as our customers thrive. The results have been impressive. As reported last year, in 2014 we opened 36% more checking accounts than the year before. And we continued that momentum in 2015, adding another 15% in “same-branch” production to our annual volume. After several years of declining consumer lending, in 2015 we expanded our retail focus and increased our new consumer lending production by over 70%, resulting in portfolio growth of 20%. During 2016, we plan to continue this momentum while providing additional emphasis to our micro and small business outreach efforts.

Also during 2015, we completed the closure of two branches as discussed in last year’s annual report, while reinvesting resources in technology, products, people, and our new branch under construction in Quincy. We also announced the acquisition and future remodeling of a building in downtown Decatur, which will become our permanent home there.

Commercial Banking. During the year, we added two additional seasoned commercial banking professionals to our already best-in-class commercial banking organization and added to our expertise in micro and small business lending by becoming both an SBA Express and Preferred Lender. We realized a 22% increase in cash management and other non-interest related revenue, a 13% increase in commercial deposit business, and a 9% increase in commercial loans. In addition, we internally launched some new specialty initiatives that we will publicly announce in the coming months.

Trust and Investment Services. Despite a year of market volatility, we continued to add new clients and added new annualized revenue of approximately 16% in our Trust and Investment Services business. This increase was spread amongst our various products and services—including traditional trust business, investment management, and employee benefits, among other classes. We continued to invest in our infrastructure and completed a system conversion in July that expands our capability to offer a state-of-the-art trust platform to our clients as well as back office services to other community bank trust departments.

Mortgage Banking. We continue to be a downstate leader in mortgage banking. We have the top team of retail mortgage originators in our core markets and offer the broadest product set and technology of any community banks against which we compete. During 2015, our mortgage loan transactions grew in excess of 26% over 2014, our Community Mortgage Partners (“CMP”) program experienced a 22% year-over-year increase in loan purchase volume, and our CMP partners experienced a combined growth of 136% in government loans—an area of competitive advantage for our company. The net result was an increase in our net mortgage banking profitability of nearly 190%. In early 2016, we added an additional staff resource to bring on additional CMP clients, while also assisting our current partners improve the performance of their own mortgage lending programs.

In short: We’re picking up speed!

A FORMULA FOR VALUE We continue to focus on our four major strategic themes established over a year ago: customer intimacy, diversification, expansion, and scale. Over the last year, we have made significant progress in each area.

Customer Intimacy. As stated earlier, our customer relationship management practices and internal culture are what truly set us apart. The reason: They are authentic! While many other banks try to put a fancy marketing slogan around what is otherwise sales-based product pushing, we relentlessly reinforce our values and approach in all corners of our company. The results mentioned above, along with the comments from our customers and employees, are the positive reinforcement we need to know our unique approach to banking works.

Diversification. In this rapidly changing industry, continued diversification of our products, lines of business, and revenue sources is a key ingredient to thriving and improving our franchise value. During 2015, we continued to make investments in existing and new non-traditional business lines. As a result, our non-interest revenue mix improved from 31% in 2014 to 35% in 2015, a level that is enviable for most community banks.

Expansion. Markets can be defined by geographies, products, niches, and in many other ways. While we continue to build our core markets, we also expand into new ones. The acquisition of Premier represents the largest expansion in our history. In addition to solidifying our position in central Illinois, it allowed us to enter into the larger metro- east market of St. Louis. We have been active in this market through our Community Mortgage Partners program and are now excited to begin competing directly.

Scale. It wasn’t always the case, but community banks must gain scale in order to afford the technology, product innovation, and staff specialists necessary to compete today. Our organic and acquisitive growth will not only improve our efficiency ratio and allow us to leverage past investments in people and technology, but it will also afford us the resources to increase the speed of our advancement.

HONORING OUR PATH The path and principles of our current success were laid many years ago. And this year, we lost a very important part of that history. Robert Evans passed away in November at the age of 80. Mr. Evans served on our board of directors from 1978 to 2009, having been an early supporter and investor in Town and Country. He was a successful, practical, insightful, and fun businessman and a constant champion of Town and Country for many years. We miss him and want to thank and honor him for his significant contributions to this company and his community.

OUR PEOPLE ARE THE “X” FACTOR There’s no better way to put it: We have the best team of banking professionals in downstate Illinois. We have a group of positive, passionate, and forward-thinking individuals that believe in our mission, believe in our customers, and believe in our company and each other. They have worked extremely hard this past year and have accomplished great things. We are inspired by them daily and appreciate their efforts and loyalty all year long. They are the “X” Factor in our formula for momentum!

And, finally, we want to again express our appreciation for our shareholders—old and new—for being such a constant source of enthusiasm and support for the growth and momentum in this organization.

Sincerely,

Micah R. Bartlett David E. Kirschner President & CEO Executive Chairman

TOWN AND COUNTRY FINANCIAL CORPORATION | 2015 SUMMARY ANNUAL REPORT | 11

Net interest income was $15.4 million in 2015, up 3% compared to $14.9 million in 2014. Full year average commercial loans outstanding were up 6%, partially offset by a 6% reduction in 1-4 family residential loans and a 4% reduction in investments. Interest expense declined by 4% from 2014 to 2015, driven by growth in non-interest bearing deposits and declines in time deposits. As a result of these changes, the fully tax equivalent net interest margin improved to 3.39% in 2015 from 3.30% in 2014.

Total non-interest income increased by $2.4 million, or 34%, to $9.4 million, driven by nonrecurring gains from the sale of equity securities that were $948 thousand higher in 2015 compared to 2014. Fee income, excluding the equity security gains, increased by 22%, driven by a 32% increase in mortgage banking fees from growth in the Community Mortgage Partner program. All other non-interest income was up 11%, driven by expanded bank-owned life insurance assets, trust fees, deposit service, and loan charges.

The provision for loan losses was $1.0 million in 2015 based upon strong commercial loan growth and specific reserves established on two different commercial real estate credits. Net charge offs totaled $257 thousand, or 0.07% of average loans. The 2014 provision was $215 thousand based on 2% loan growth and $219 thousand in net charge offs.

Non-interest expense was $18.1 million, up $850 thousand, or 5%, from its 2014 level. Driving the increase were various one-time costs associated with the creation of the Company’s captive insurance entity and the WPI/Premier acquisition that totaled $553 thousand. The remaining increase of $297 thousand was due to higher costs from expanded mortgage banking activities, additions to customer-facing staff positions, and continued investment in technology platforms, particularly those that focus on fraud prevention and data protection.

Excluding nonrecurring items mentioned above, the Company reported normal operating after-tax income of $3.4 million in 2015, $648 thousand, or 23%, higher than net income reported in 2014.

Page 13: 2015%20annual%20report 1

BALANCE SHEETTotal assets were $520 million at December 31, 2015, an increase of $21 million, or 4%, from assets at December 31, 2014. The investment portfolio was down $1 million while commercial loans were up $23 million, or 9%, at this year-end compared to last. Off-balance sheet mortgage loans sold with servicing retained were $448 million at year-end, up $42 million, or 10%, compared to the balance at December 31, 2014.

Total deposits were $403 million on December 31, 2015, and $5 million, or 1%, above the year-ago. The Bank closed a single branch on November 1, 2014, and two branches on January 31, 2015, with minimal deposit and customer losses to report. Increases in non-maturity deposits of $10 million, or 4%, partially offset by a $5 million reduction in time deposits, and additional advances from the FHLB funded the asset growth Moreover, as part of its overall funding and risk management strategy, the Company entered into additional interest rate swap agreements in order to manage its interest rate risk. The notional amount of such agreements totaled $49 million at December 31, 2015, up from $15 million at the end of 2014.

Asset quality was strong in 2015 with nonperforming loans, defined as loans 90+ days past due and nonaccrual loans, equal to 1.18% of total loans compared to 1.03% at the prior year-end. The allowance for loan loss increased to $4.3 million, and was 197% of nonperforming loans. Nonperforming assets (nonperforming loans plus other real estate) were $2.5 million compared to $1.1 million at December 31, 2014.

The Company maintained its investment in pooled trust preferred securities, which securities generally represent the preferred securities of small and mid-sized bank holding companies. The assets were valued at $6.7 million at December 31, 2015, with an amortized cost of $8.9 million.

Common equity capital was $44 million with a book value per share of $15.59 compared to $43 million and $15.44 at December 31, 2014. On July 1, 2015, the Company reissued 52,500 shares of treasury stock as part of a restricted stock plan, reducing the book value per share by $0.29. Another factor that affected the Company’s book value was a $0.79 reduction in the market value of the investment portfolio, both debt and equity, and due in part to the sale of certain equity securities. Town and Country Financial Corporation is considered a small bank holding company and therefore Basel III capital standards do not apply. Town and Country Bank’s capital levels under the Basel III transitional standardized approach are strong, with common equity tier 1 capital of $46 million, or 11.4%, and total risk-based capital of $51 million, or 12.5% of total risk-based assets. The Tier 1 leverage and total risk-based capital ratios were 11.6% and 13.1%, respectively, at December 31, 2014.

On March 8, 2016, the Company redeemed 100% of shares of its preferred stock issued in September 2011 to the U.S. Treasury in exchange for its participation in their SBLF program. As a result, total equity capital declined by $5 million.
