<DIV align="justify" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt">On December&nbsp;1, 2011, Patriot National Bancorp, Inc. (&#147;Patriot&#148;) announced that Michael J. Weinbaum, a director of Patriot, had been elected to its Audit Committee.
</DIV>

<DIV align="justify" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt">On November&nbsp;28, 2011, Patriot received a notice from Nasdaq that Patriot was not in compliance of
Nasdaq Listing Rule&nbsp;5605(c)(2), because Patriot&#146;s Audit Committee consisted of two independent
directors instead of the required three independent directors. Patriot was in compliance with
Nasdaq Listing Rule&nbsp;5605(c)(2) prior to the resignation of an independent Audit Committee member.
Nasdaq provided Patriot a cure period until December&nbsp;13, 2011, to regain and evidence compliance.
Mr.&nbsp;Weinbaum&#146;s election to the Audit Committee satisfies the requirements of the Nasdaq rule.
