To
All Executive Officers and Directors:
This
notice is to inform you of significant restrictions on your ability to trade
any
equity securities of Capital City Bank Group, Inc. (the “Company”) during an
upcoming “blackout period” that will apply to the First National Bank of Alachua
401(k) Plan (the “Plan”). This special “blackout period” is imposed
on executive officers and directors of the Company by the Sarbanes-Oxley Act
of
2002 and Securities and Exchange Commission regulation BTR (Blackout Trading
Restriction) and is in addition to the Company’s blackout periods related to
earnings releases.
Fourth
Quarter Blackout
As
you
know, our regular fourth quarter earnings blackout begins at the opening of
the
NASDAQ Stock Market on December 14, 2007 and will last until 48 hours after
the
Company’s fourth quarter earnings are announced, which is anticipated to be
prior to the opening of the NASDAQ Stock Market on January 22,
2008.
Sarbanes-Oxley
Blackout
The
Plan
will be merged into the Company’s 401(k) Plan. Although the
Company expects this change to be positive, there will be a period of time
during the merger process when participants will be unable to direct or
diversify investments in their individual accounts, or, obtain a loan from
or
distribution from the Plan. The blackout period for the Plan will
begin at 8:00 a.m. Eastern Time on December 31, 2007 and will end prior to
the
opening of the NASDAQ Stock Market on January 15, 2008. Participants
will be informed once the blackout period has ended.
As
a result, under Section 306(a) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, directors
and
executive officers are prohibited by federal law from directly or indirectly
purchasing, selling, or otherwise acquiring or transferring any equity
securities of the Company during the Blackout
Period. During the Blackout Period, you must not
directly or indirectly purchase, sell, or otherwise acquire or transfer any
equity security of CCBG. However,
since the Sarbanes-Oxley Blackout period coincides with our existing fourth
quarter blackout period, your existing blackout period will not be
increased.
As
a
reminder, the blackout policy and preclearance procedures also apply to
transactions by your spouse and members of your immediate family sharing your
household (as well as to transactions by certain of your affiliated trusts
and
other entities).
Should
you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact Robert H. Smith at
(850) 402-7816, by email at bobs@ccbg.com, or by mail at 217 North Monroe
Street, Tallahassee, Florida 32301.
