<P align="right" style="font-size: 10pt"><FONT style="font-size: 8pt">Exhibit&nbsp;99.1</FONT>



<P align="center" style="font-size: 8pt"><FONT style="font-size: 12pt"><U><B>Hawthorn Bancshares Reports 2009 Financial Results</B></U></FONT>



<P align="left" style="font-size: 12pt"><FONT style="font-size: 10pt"><B>LEE&#146;S SUMMIT, Mo., March&nbsp;11, 2010 </B>&#151; Hawthorn Bancshares Inc. (NASDAQ: HWBK), today reported
financial results for the Company, and its main operating subsidiary, Hawthorn Bank, for the year
ended December&nbsp;31, 2009.
</FONT>

<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">The Company reported diluted earnings per common share of $0.69 for the year ended December&nbsp;31,
2009 compared to a $7.10 per common share loss for 2008. Operating results for 2008 were largely
impacted by the non-cash goodwill impairment charge of $40.3&nbsp;million ($33.2&nbsp;million after tax). Net
income available to common shareholders for 2009 was $3.0&nbsp;million after deducting dividends of $2.0
million on preferred stock issued to the U.S. Treasury under the Capital Purchase Program in
December&nbsp;2008.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">Commenting on earnings performance, Chairman & CEO James E. Smith said &#147;2009 proved to be a
difficult economic environment for the banking industry. However, despite significant increases in
FDIC insurance costs and a larger than normal loan loss provision, our core operations remained
strong as we realized increases in both net interest income and non-interest income.&#148;


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt"><B>Operating Results</B>


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt"><B>Net Interest Income</B>
<BR>
Net interest income increased 6.5% to $40.6&nbsp;million from $38.1&nbsp;million. This was due largely to
increasing the 2009 net interest margin to 3.50% from 2008&#146;s margin of 3.42%. Average interest
earning assets grew by $42.4&nbsp;million, or 3.7%.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt"><B>Non-Interest Income and Expense</B>
<BR>
Non-interest income was $11.3&nbsp;million in 2009, compared to $9.3&nbsp;million in 2008. The increase is
attributed primarily to increased refinancing activity in our residential real estate portfolio and
a $0.6&nbsp;million gain recognized from the sale of investment securities during 2009. Non-interest
expense was $36.7&nbsp;million in 2009, compared to $35.7&nbsp;million in 2008 after excluding the $40.3
million goodwill write down. During 2009, the FDIC insurance premium increased $2.3&nbsp;million over
2008&#146;s assessment due to higher regular and special assessment rates and depletion of the Company&#146;s
one-time FDIC assessment credit.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt"><B>Loan-Loss Reserve</B>
<BR>
Hawthorn&#146;s level of non-performing loans increased to 4.27% of total loans at year-end 2009, up
from 2.46% at year-end 2008. As a result, the Company provided an additional $8.4&nbsp;million to the
allowance for loan losses in 2009, compared to $8.2&nbsp;million in 2008. The total allowance at
year-end 2009 was $14.8&nbsp;million, or 1.49% of outstanding loans and 34.94% of nonperforming loans.
This compares to an allowance of $12.7&nbsp;million, or 1.26% of outstanding loans and 50.94% of
nonperforming loans as of year-end 2008. Net charge-offs for 2009 were $6.2&nbsp;million, compared with
$4.8&nbsp;million in 2008.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">Regarding asset quality, Chairman & CEO Smith said &#147;Our performance is directly tied to the economy
and as such we have customers who have experienced diminished income from reduced sales and
profits. Despite deterioration in asset quality, the level of non-performing assets is manageable.&#148;


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt"><B>Financial Condition</B>
<BR>
Total assets of $1.2&nbsp;billion decreased 3.4% as of December&nbsp;31, 2009, compared to 2008. Loans, net
of allowance for loan losses, decreased 2.0% to $976.8&nbsp;million. Investment securities increased
2.4% to $152.9&nbsp;million. Total deposits remained steady at $956.3&nbsp;million. Common equity capital
increased 1.1% to $79.4&nbsp;million. At 16.49% of total assets, total risk based capital far exceeded
regulatory requirements.
