<P align="center" style="font-size: 8pt"><FONT style="font-size: 16pt"><B>Hawthorn Bancshares Reports First Quarter Earnings</B></FONT>



<P align="left" style="font-size: 16pt"><FONT style="font-size: 10pt"><B>LEE&#146;S SUMMIT, Mo. &#151; May&nbsp;15, 2012 &#151; </B>Hawthorn Bancshares Inc. (NASDAQ: HWBK), today reported
consolidated financial results for the Company for the quarter ended March&nbsp;31.
</FONT>

<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">Net income for the quarter was $1.5&nbsp;million, compared to $1.0&nbsp;million for the first quarter of
2011. After deducting dividends and discount accretion of $0.5&nbsp;million on the preferred stock
issued to the U.S. Treasury under the Capital Purchase Program, Hawthorn earned $0.21 per diluted
common share for the three months ending March&nbsp;31, 2012, versus $0.10 for the first quarter of
2011. For the quarter, the annualized return on average common equity was 5.21% and the annualized
return on average assets was 0.49% compared with 2.56% and 0.32%, respectively, for the same period
in 2011.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt"><B>Operating Results</B>
<BR>
<B>Net Interest Income</B>
<BR>
Net interest income for the quarter ended March&nbsp;31, 2012 increased 3.2% to $10.8&nbsp;million from $10.5
million for the same period in 2011. The increase is attributed to continued strengthening of the
Company&#146;s net interest margin which increased from 3.84% at March&nbsp;31, 2011 to 3.98% for the first
quarter of 2012. The net interest margin for the full year 2011 was 3.92%. In commenting on
growth in the margin, Chairman David T. Turner said &#147;With non-performing assets of $69.9&nbsp;million,
there is significant downward pressure on asset yields. However, lower funding costs for the
company more than outpaced declining asset yields; thereby, resulting in a net improvement in the
company&#146;s margin.&#148;


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt"><B>Non-Interest Income and Expense</B>
<BR>
Non-interest income for the three months ended March&nbsp;31, 2012 was $2.0&nbsp;million compared to $2.1
million for the same period in 2011. Non-interest expense for the three months ended March&nbsp;31, 2012
was $9.5&nbsp;million compared to $9.4&nbsp;million for first quarter 2011.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt"><B>Loan Loss Reserve</B>
<BR>
Hawthorn&#146;s level of non-performing loans increased to 5.92% of total loans at March&nbsp;31, 2012, from
5.77% at March&nbsp;31, 2011. However, the level of non-performing loans in relation to total loans
decreased when compared to the year-end 2011 level of 6.37%.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">Net charge-offs for the quarter were $0.9&nbsp;million compared to $3.9&nbsp;million for the first quarter of
2011. Improvement in the level of charge-offs is largely attributed to losses realized in 2011 on
fully reserved loans totaling $2.0&nbsp;million.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">Although net charge offs improved during the three months ended March&nbsp;31, 2012 in comparison to the
three months ended March&nbsp;31, 2011, the provision for loan losses at March&nbsp;31, 2012 was $1.7&nbsp;million
compared to $1.8&nbsp;million for March&nbsp;31, 2011. The provision was significantly higher than first
quarter charge-offs due to a $1.1&nbsp;million increase in specific reserves needed for impaired loans.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">The total allowance for loan losses at March&nbsp;31, 2012 was $14.6&nbsp;million, or 1.74% of outstanding
loans and 29.45% of non-performing loans. At December&nbsp;31, 2011, the total allowance for loan losses
was $13.8&nbsp;million, or 1.64% of outstanding loans and 25.73% of non-performing loans. Management
believes based on detailed analysis of each nonperforming credit and the value of any associated
collateral that the allowance for loan losses at March&nbsp;31, 2012 is sufficient to cover probable
incurred credit losses.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt"><B>Financial Condition</B>
<BR>
Comparing March&nbsp;31, 2012 balances with December&nbsp;31, 2011, total assets remained stable at $1.2
billion. Continued soft loan demand resulted in loans, net of allowance for loan losses, decreasing
0.5% to $825.3&nbsp;million. With low loan demand, the Company&#146;s next highest yielding asset category
is investment securities which increased 7.2% to $229.2&nbsp;million. Cash & due from banks increased
47.2% to $63.5&nbsp;million. Total deposits increased 3.6% to $993.1&nbsp;million. During the same period,
stockholders&#146; equity increased 1.2% to $103.8&nbsp;million or 8.6% of total assets. On May&nbsp;9, 2012,
Hawthorn Bancshares, Inc. redeemed 12,000 shares of its Fixed Rate Cumulative Perpetual Preferred
Stock issued to the U.S. Treasury Department under the TARP Capital Purchase Program at a
redemption price of $12&nbsp;million. After incorporating the TARP redemption into the March&nbsp;31, 2012
capital ratios, Hawthorn Bancshares&#146; capital would continue to surpass the regulatory guidelines
for a well-capitalized institution with a Tier 1 capital ratio of 13.85%, a total capital ratio of
17.22%, and a Tier 1 leverage ratio of 10.06%.
