<BR>
Jefferson City, MO
<BR>
April&nbsp;20, 2007
</FONT>

<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">Exchange National Bancshares Inc. (NASDAQ: EXJF) announced today that its Board of Directors has
selected &#147;<B>HAWTHORN BANK</B>&#148; as the new name for its subsidiary banks. As a part of the strategic plan
announced last December, the Board determined that it would be desirable to adopt a name that would
separate and distinguish our banks from any other bank in Missouri or the central states region.
The Board feels this name &#151; <B>HAWTHORN BANK </B>&#151; reflects our rich heritage and culture and announces
a new beginning that will spring our organization forward as we continue to implement our strategic
plan.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">Under our strategic plan, we already have taken the first step in consolidating our four banks into
a single bank through the combination of Osage Valley Bank into Citizens Union State Bank. The
name change for our banks will take place over the next few months as we continue this
consolidation. The name of our company also may change to reflect the new &#147;<B>Hawthorn</B>&#148; brand if that
change is approved by our shareholders at this year&#146;s annual meeting.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">Our banks have 26 banking locations over the state and, after consolidating our four banks into a
single bank, our customers will have the opportunity to do all of their banking business in any one
of these locations. According to James E. Smith, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, there will
be no changes in the ownership and management of our present organization. &#147;When our customers
walk into their local branch, they can expect the same great service from the same friendly people
they&#146;re used to seeing,&#148; said Smith. &#147;We are excited about the name that has been selected.&#148;


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">In connection with the proposed name change for our company that will be considered and voted on at
this year&#146;s annual meeting, we will file with the SEC and furnish to our shareholders a definitive
proxy statement. Shareholders are advised to read the proxy statement when it is finalized and
distributed to shareholders because it will contain important information about the proposed name
change and other matters. Shareholders will be able to obtain a free-of-charge copy of the proxy
statement (when available) and other relevant documents filed with the SEC from the SEC&#146;s website
at www.sec.gov. Shareholders also will be able to obtain a free-of-charge copy of the proxy
statement and other relevant documents (when available) by directing a request by mail to Kathleen
L. Bruegenhemke, Exchange National Bancshares, Inc., 132 East High Street, Jefferson City, Missouri
65101.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">Our company and certain of its directors, executive officers and other members of management and
employees may, under the rules of the SEC, be deemed to be &#147;participants&#148; in the solicitation of
proxies from our shareholders in favor of an amendment to our articles of incorporation providing
for the proposed name change. Information regarding the persons who may be considered
&#147;participants&#148; in the solicitation of proxies will be set forth in our proxy statement that is
filed with the SEC. Information regarding certain of these persons and their beneficial ownership
of our common stock also is set forth in our most recent proxy statement and annual report on Form
10-K, which are available on our website and www.sec.gov. Additional information regarding the
interests of the participants will be included in the proxy statement and other relevant documents
filed with the SEC.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">Exchange National Bancshares, Inc., a multi-bank holding company headquartered in Lee&#146;s Summit,
Missouri, is the parent company of The Exchange National Bank of Jefferson City with locations in

<P align="left" style="font-size: 12pt">Dear Shareholders:


<P align="left" style="font-size: 12pt">On behalf of the Board of Directors, I am very pleased to inform you that we have selected <B><I>HAWTHORN
BANK </I></B>as the new name for our Bank.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 12pt">Under our strategic plan that was announced last December, changing our name was one of our top
priorities in order to distinguish our organization from other Banks. We wanted a name that would
separate and distinguish us from any other Bank in Missouri or the central states region. After an
extensive search with an outside consultant from Denver, Colorado, we were really happy to have the
opportunity to select <B><I>HAWTHORN BANK</I></B>.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 12pt">This name reflects our rich heritage and culture and announces a new beginning that will spring our
organization forward as we continue to execute on the strategic plan and direction that the Board
of Directors has put in place.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 12pt">The change in the name will take place over the next few months as we continue the consolidation of
our four banks into a single bank. This consolidation was also one of the highest priorities to
come out of our strategic plan. We want to provide to our customers a very dynamic and responsive
bank to meet all of their banking needs. In order to reposition our Bank to meet the developing
and enhanced technology and banking products of today, we had to make our bank more agile and
responsive. Consolidating all of our banks into one will reduce inefficiencies and allow our
customers to use any one of the 26 banking locations we have over the State of Missouri.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 12pt">In the next few days we will file with the SEC and furnish to you a definitive proxy statement for
our annual meeting of shareholders to be held on June&nbsp;13, 2007 in Jefferson City. In this proxy
statement, the Board of Directors requests that you approve changing the name of our Holding
Company to <B><I>Hawthorn Bancshares, Inc</I></B>. to more closely connect our Holding Company name to the new
name of the Bank and to take advantage of the advertising and name recognition. We hope you will
vote to approve that change. Shareholders are advised to read the proxy statement when it is
finalized and distributed to shareholders because it will contain important information about the
proposed name change and other matters. Shareholders will be able to obtain a free-of-charge copy
of the proxy statement (when available) and other relevant documents filed with the SEC from the
SEC&#146;s website at www.sec.gov. Shareholders also will be able to obtain a free-of-charge copy of
the proxy statement and other relevant documents (when available) by directing a request by mail to
Kathleen L. Bruegenhemke, Exchange National Bancshares, Inc., P.O. Box 688, Jefferson City,
Missouri 65102.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 12pt">Our company and certain of its directors, executive officers and other members of management and
employees may, under the rules of the SEC, be deemed to be &#147;participants&#148; in the solicitation of
proxies from our shareholders in favor of an amendment to our articles of incorporation providing
for the proposed name change. Information regarding the persons who may be considered
&#147;participants&#148; in the solicitation of proxies will be set forth in our proxy statement that is
filed with the SEC. Information regarding certain of these persons and their beneficial ownership
of our common stock also is set forth in our most recent proxy statement and annual report on Form
10-K, which are available on our website and www.sec.gov. Additional information regarding the
interests of the participants will be included in the proxy statement and other relevant documents
filed with the SEC.

direction of your company and the strategic plan please don&#146;t hesitate to call us.
