SUMMARY OF TRANSACTION

Background

First Commercial Financial Corp. First Commercial Financial Corp. ("FCFC") is a registered bank holding company that is the top tier parent company of First Commercial Bank, N.A., Seguin, Texas ("First Commercial Bank"). First Commercial Bank is wholly owned by First Commercial Corporation, an intermediate holding company, which is in turn wholly owned by FCFC. Although an indirect subsidiary, First Commercial Bank is FCFC's principal asset.

First Commercial Bank is a national bank with its head office in Seguin, Texas. It has 3 locations its main office in Seguin and two branches in New Braunfels, Texas. First Commercial Bank does not have any subsidiaries. As of September 30, 2015, First Commercial Bank had total assets of approximately $156,873,000.

Jourdanton Bancshares, Inc. Jourdanton Bancshares, Inc. ("JBI") is a registered bank holding company that is the parent company of Jourdanton State Bank, Jourdanton, Texas ("Jourdanton Bank"). Jourdanton Bank is Texas state bank and is JBI's principal asset. Jourdanton Bank has four locations its main office in Jourdanton, Texas, two branches in San Antonio, Texas and one branch in Pearsall, Texas. Jourdanton Bank has one subsidiary, JSB Investments, Inc., which operates as an insurance agency. As of September 30, 2015, Jourdanton Bank had total consolidated assets of approximately $169,775,000.

Description of Transaction

FCFC and JBI have entered into an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization (the '"Reorganization Agreement"), a copy of which is included in the Confidential Volume 11 of this Application. The Reorganization Agreement provides for the acquisition of JBI by FCFC through a two-step merger process. First, FCFC will form and organize a wholly-owned subsidiary, FCFC Acquisition Corporation ("Newco'') for the sole purpose of facilitating the acquisition of JBI by FCFC. In the first merger, Newco will merge with and into JBI, with JBI being the surviving entity (the "Newco Merger"). Promptly following the Newco Merger, FCFC will effect the merger of JBI into FCFC, with FCFC continuing as the surviving corporation (the "Subsequent Merger"). The Newco Merger and the Subsequent Merger are collectively referred to herein as the "Merger". As a result of the Merger, FCFC will have acquired JBI and therefore, indirectly, Jourdanton Bank. At that time, JBI will cease to exist as a separate corporate entity, and FCFC will be the parent holding company of First Commercial Bank and of Jourdanton Bank.

Jmmediately following the Merger, FCFC will cause Jourdanton Bank to merge with and into First Commercial Bank (the "Bank Merger"). First Commercial Bank will be the surviving entity in the Bank Merger. Following the Bank Merger, First Commercial Bank will continue as a wholly-owned indirect subsidiary of FCFC.

3

Merger Consideration. FCFC will pay the Merger Consideration to the JBI Shareholders in the form of cash and shares of FCFC common stock. Further details of the Merger Consideration are included in the Confidential Volume II of this Application.

Source of Funds and Capital FCFC will obtain the funds to pay the cash portion of the Merger Consideration from a renewal and expansion of its existing credit facility and from a dividend from First Commercial Bank. A detailed discussion of FCFC's financing plans is included in the Confidential Volume II of this Application.

The Reorganization Agreement provides that FCFC's obligation to consummate the transaction is subject to JBI having minimum tangible equity equal to at least $16. l million. Accordingly, FCFC will acquire at least $16.l million of tangible equity as part of the transaction. This minimum equity requirement, together with the issuance of FCFC common stock as part of the Merger Consideration, provides additional capital support to FCFC.

FCFC will be able to reduce its debt to equity ratio to less than 30 percent in less than twelve years and First Commercial Bank will be "well capitalized" on the effective date of the transaction and throughout the debt service period. Pro forma financial statements reflecting the effect of the proposed transaction on FCFC and First Commercial Bank are included in the Confidential Volume II of this Application.

Due Diligence and Integration. FCFC believes the proposed acquisition of JBI and Jourdanton Bank will be a substantial benefit to its business and long-term strategic plan. The acquisition will enhance First Commercial Bank's presence in the South/Central Texas region and will further diversify First Commercial Bank's overall asset base. FCFC conducted careful due diligence of JBI and Jourdanton Bank and found no material issues related to their operations that FCFC was not prepared to manage. A description of the due diligence process is included in the Confidential Volume II of this Application.

The increase in total assets will effectively double the overall the size of FCFC on a consolidated basis. The boards of directors and management of FCFC and of First Commercial Bank anticipate that FCFC and First Commercial Bank will be able to utilize existing infrastructure, integration systems and experience to absorb JBI and Jourdanton Bank into the FCFC organization. First Commercial Bank has a proven sound credit culture, efficient operations and effective compliance systems. First Commercial Bank also has an experienced and cohesive management team that has worked together for many years. FCFC intends to integrate the Jourdanton Bank into First Commercial Bank's culture, operations, and systems and devote First Commercial Bank's management resources to operate the acquired locations and operations of Jourdanton Bank in a safe and sound manner and on a compliant basis. Accordingly, FCFC does not anticipate any operational problems in connection with the integration of Jourdanton Bank into First Commercial Bank.

4

Approvals

FCFC has caused First Commercial Bank to submit an Interagency Bank Merger Act Application to the OCC and the Texas Department of Banking for approval of the Bank Merger.

The Merger also is subject to the approval of the shareholders of JBI, and such shareholder approval was obtained at a special meeting of the shareholders of JBI held on October 29, 2015. FCFC, as the sole shareholder ofNewco, will consent to the Merger.

Any action required by law will be taken before consummation of the transaction.

Officers and Directors

While officers and employees of Jourdanton Bank will become officers and employees of First Commercial Bank, other than Mr. Kirk McClelland, none of the officers of Jourdanton Bank will become a senior executive officer of FCFC or First Commercial Bank. Mr. Kirk McClelland currently is a senior vice president of Jourdanton Bank, and he will become a senior vice president and branch manager of First Commercial Bank as part of the transaction. Also, Mr. Alfred A. Steinle, currently a director of JBI and Jourdanton Bank, will become a director of FCFC and First Commercial Bank. Other than Mr. Steinle, none of the current directors of JBl or Jourdanton Bank will become directors of FCFC or First Commercial Bank. There will be no other change in the senior officers and directors of FCFC or First Commercial Bank as a result of the proposed transaction.

Public Notice

The notice attached as Exhibit "A" will be published in The Pleasanton Express, the newspaper of general circulation for Jourdanton on Wednesday, January 13, 2016, and in the Seguin Gazette, the newspaper of general circulation for Seguin also on Wednesday, January 13, 2016.

E. A BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF ANY UNUSUAL CONTRACTUAL TERMS, ESPECIALLY THOSE TERMS NOT DISCLOSED ELSEWHERE IN THE APPLICATION. ALSO, PROVIDE THE EXPIRATION DATES OF ANY CONTRACTUAL ARRANGEMENT BETWEEN THE PARTIES INVOLVED IN THIS APPLICATION. AS AN ALTERNATIVE TO DEVELOPING THE FOREGOING INFORMATION, PROVIDE A COPY OF THE PURCHASE, OPERA TING, OR OTHER AGREEMENTS AS SOCIA TED WITH THE PROPOSED TRANSACTION.

Expiration Date

The parties propose to consummate the transaction during the first quarter of 2016. The parties may terminate the Reorganization Agreement if the Merger is not consummated prior to January 31, 2016. FCFC anticipates that the Reorganization Agreement will be amended to extend this expiration date to March 31, 2016.

Related Agreements

The Reorganization Agreement contemplates that certain individuals would sign various agreements related to the Reorganization Agreement. The following is a description of those agreements:

Voting Agreement. The directors of JBI executed a Voting Agreement which requires those directors, in their capacity as shareholders, to vote in favor of the transaction. As noted elsewhere in this Application, JBI has held its shareholder meeting at which the Merger was approved by the requisite vote. A copy of the form of the Voting Agreement is attached as Exhibit "B" to the Reorganization Agreement included in the Confidential Volume II of this Application.

Releases. In connection with completion of the merger, the executive officers and directors of JBI and Jourdanton Bank will enter into an instrument in favor of JBI and Jourdanton Bank releasing each of them from any and all claims of such director or executive officer, as the case may be, other than claims for indemnification rights under applicable corporate documents, or in connection with any deposits or loans of the individual at Jourdanton Bank, as applicable. A form of the release is attached as Exhibit "C" to the Reorganization Agreement included in the Confidential Volume II of this Application.

Consulting Agreement. In consideration of and in connection with the completion of the transaction, First Commercial Bank has entered into a Consulting Agreement with one of the executive officers of Jourdanton Bank. The Consulting Agreement contains various non­solicitation and non-competition covenants for periods of up to two years covering various geographic areas including Atascosa, Bexar, Frio and Guadalupe counties, Texas.

The non-solicitation and non-competition provisions contained in this agreement are customary in similar arrangements with officers and directors of financial institutions. They are

8

limited in scope) both geographically (to the specific geographic area in which the financial institutions currently engage in the commercial banking business) and with respect to duration, all in accordance with applicable law governing noncompetition agreements. The consideration for these covenants is the consideration paid pursuant to the Reorganization Agreement as well as the consideration provided for in the Consulting Agreement. FCFC considers this arrangement reasonable given the influence of this individual in the market areas where Jourdanton Bank operates. FCFC believes the franchise value of Jourdanton Bank would be diminished if this individual actively competed for business in this area. A copy of the executed Consulting Agreement is included in the Confidential Volume II of this Application.

The presidents of each of FCFC and JBI have known one another for several years. In conversations related to the state of the banking industry in 2014, they discussed strategic planning and a possible merger. FCFC began reviewing information regarding JBI during these discussions, becoming familiar with the financial condition and operations of JBI and Jourdanton Bank. The two boards of directorS then determined to pursue a possible merger, and FCFC and JBI entered into a confidentiality agreement and a letter of intent. Following the execution of a confidentiality agreement and the letter of intent, FCFC and First Commercial Bank conducted a thorough review of JBI and Jourdanton Bank. The scope of the due diligence included financial performance, loan portfolio/asset quality, investment portfolio, and compliance, operational, legal, and human resource matters. A discussion of the due diligence process and the results of the due diligence is included in the Confidential Volume II of this Application.

To the best knowledge of FCFC, there has been no material adverse change in the financial condition of Jourdanton Bank since the date of its most recent examination.

Jourdanton Bank has not paid a dividend since September 30, 2015, the date of its most recent Call Report. However, at its December 2015 meeting, the board of directors of Jourdanton Bank approved a dividend in the amount of $222,715.50 to be paid in January 2016. Jourdanton Bank anticipates that this dividend will be paid on or before January 19, 2016. In addition, JBI has declared a dividend to its shareholders in the amount of $1.50 per share, which also will be paid in January 2016.

Further, the Reorganization Agreement provides that if the Tangible Equity of JBI is more than $16, 100,000 on the Calculation Date, then JBI may distribute any such excess to its shareholders immediately prior to closing.

COMPETITION

IF THE SUBJECT TRANSACTION IS A BANK HOLDING COMPANY FORMATION INVOLVING ONLY ONE BANK OR AN APPLICATION FILED PURSUANT TO SECTION 3(A)(3) OR 3(A)(5) OF THE BHC ACT TO ACQUIRE A DE NOVO BANK, A RESPONSE TO ITEMS 11 AND 12 IS NOT REQUIRED. OTHERWISE, APPLICANT SHOULD CONTACT THE APPROPRIATE RESERVE BANK TO DETERMINE WHETHER A RESPONSE TO ITEMS 11 AND 12 WILL BE NECESSARY. IF A RESPONSE IS REQUIRED, APPLICANT SHOULD OBT A1N A PRELIMINARY DEFINITION OF THE RELEVANT BANKING MARKETS FROM THE RESERVE BANK. IF APPLICANT DISAGREES MATERIALLY WITH THE RESERVE BANK1S PRELIMINARY DEFINITION OF THE BANKING MARKET(S), IT MAY IN ADDITION TO SUPPL YING THE INFORMATION REQUESTED ON THE BASIS OF THE RESERVE BANK'S DEFINITION OF THE BANKING MARKET(S), INCLUDE ITS OWN DEFINITION OF THE BANKING MARK.ET(S), WITH SUPPORTIVE DATA, AND ANSWER THE QUESTIONS BASED ON ITS DEFINITION. IF LATER ANALYSIS LEADS THE FEDERAL RESERVE STAFF TO ALTER THE PRELIMINARY DEFINITION PROVIDED, APPLICANT WILL BE SO INFORMED.

11. DISCUSS THE EFFECTS OF THE PROPOSED TRANSACTION ON COMPETITION CONSIDERING THE STRUCTURAL CRITERIA SPECIFIED IN THE BOARD'S RULES REGARDING DELEGATION OF AUTHORITY (SECTION 265.llc(l l)(v)). APPLICANT MAY BE REQUIRED TO PROVIDE ADDITIONAL INFORMATION IF THE FEDERAL RESERVE STAFF DETERMINES THAT THE PROPOSAL EXCEEDS EXISTING COMPETITIVE GUIDELINES. ALSO, IF DIVESTITURE OF ALL OR ANY PORTION OF ANY BANK OR NON-BANKING COMPANY CONSTITUTES PART OF THIS PROPOSAL, DISCUSS IN DETAIL THE SPECIFICS AND TIMING OF THE DIVESTITURE.

The only market in which both First Commercial Bank and Jourdanton Bank have offices is the San Antonio, Texas area. The relevant banking market for the offices in San Antonio, Texas is the San Antonio MSA.

The San Antonio MSA is a considered a highly concentrated banking market, with a pre­merger HHI of unweighted deposits of 4824, and an HHI of weighted deposits of 3045. The high concentration is a result of USAA having 68.5% of the unweighted deposits in the market. As of June 30, 2015, total deposits in this market were $90,702,304,000.

Even though the San Antonio market is considered concentrated, the proposed transaction will not increase the HHI for the market. The combined deposits of First Commercial Bank and Jourdanton Bank in the San Antonio banking market as of June 30, 2015 would have been only approximately $158,592,000, or only 0.17% of the market's total deposits. A copy of the pro forma HHI and deposit levels resulting from the proposed transaction is submitted on the following pages. Given that the proposed transaction will not increase the HHI for the market and the small market share of deposits to be held by the combined bank after the transaction, the combination of these banks will have no material adverse effect upon existing or potential competition.

FCFC and First Commercial Bank have a proven record of serving the banking needs of all of the communities they serve, including the low and moderate income neighborhoods located within these communities. First Commercial Bank has an effective and ongoing outreach program for ascertaining credit needs. First Commercial Bank develops lending programs based upon credit needs and has a good record of lending within its communities. First Commercial Bank does not engage in any discriminatory practices. First Commercial Bank intends to redefine its communities to include the communities served by Jourdanton Bank and to employ these same strategies in those communities.

First Commercial Bank received a "satisfactory" rating at its most recent CRA evaluation. Jourdanton Bank, however, has been working through a fair lending issue with the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation and as a result of that process, the CRA rating at Jourdanton Bank currently is "needs improvement". Please see the discussion regarding First Commercial Bank's action plan for the Jourdanton Bank fair lending and compliance concerns in the Confidential Volume II to this Application.

First Commercial Bank does not anticipate material changes in service charges on transaction deposits. However, First Commercial Bank pays a higher interest rate on its deposit accounts than Jourdanton Bank, and accordingly, First Commercial Bank anticipates an increase in interest expense to conform Jourdanton Bank deposit rates to First Commercial Bank deposit rates. First Commercial Bank plans to ascertain the credit needs of the Jourdanton Bank communities and make changes to interest rates, maximum maturities and other loan terms as necessary.
