<html><head><title>Patriot National Bancorp, Inc. Announces Reverse Stock Split Will Take Effect March 4, 2015</title></head><body><p align="right">EXHIBIT 99.1</p><h3 align="center">Patriot National Bancorp, Inc. Announces Reverse Stock Split Will Take Effect March 4, 2015</h3><p>STAMFORD, Conn., March 3, 2015 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- <strong>Patriot National Bancorp, Inc. </strong>(Nasdaq:PNBK) announced today that in accordance with its prior announcement to effect a 1-for-10 reverse stock split of its common stock, the Company anticipates the reverse stock split will be effective at the opening of trading on March 4, 2015. As previously announced, the Board approved the reverse stock split at a ratio of 1-for-10 earlier this month pursuant to authorization by shareholders at a special meeting of shareholders on December 23, 2014.</p><p>
	When the reverse stock split becomes effective, every ten (10) shares of common stock outstanding will automatically combine into one (1) new share of common stock with no change in par value per share. This will reduce the number of shares outstanding from approximately 39.5 million to approximately 3.95 million. The Company's common stock will continue to trade on the NASDAQ Market under the symbol "PNBK." The new CUSIP number for the common stock following the reverse stock split will be 70336F203.</p><p>
	No fractional shares will be issued in connection with the reverse stock split. Stockholders who would otherwise hold a fractional share of Patriot common stock will receive a cash payment from the proceeds of that sale in lieu of such fractional share.</p><p>
	Holders of shares of common stock held in book-entry form or through a bank, broker or other nominee do not need to take any action in connection with the reverse split, and will see the impact of the reverse split automatically reflected in their accounts. Beneficial holders may contact their bank, broker or nominee for more information.</p><p>
	For those few shareholders who hold physical stock certificates, the Company's transfer agent, Computershare, will send instructions for exchanging those certificates for new certificates representing the post-split number of shares. Computershare can be reached at 800-942-5909.</p><p>
