As previously disclosed by Current Report on Form 8-K, filed
January 31, 2017, First NBC Bank Holding Company (the Company)
reached a preliminary conclusion that it expected to record a
material valuation allowance with respect to its deferred tax asset
and that it had not completed its processes to determine its
valuation allowance for certain loans, tax credit entities or
low-income housing projects. Since that time, the Company has been
taking steps designed to enable it to finalize its review of each
of these items, including through the completion of internal and
external evaluations of its loan portfolio and deferred tax asset
valuation allowance.

Although the determination is preliminary and subject to the
completion of additional procedures, on April 21, 2017, the Audit
Committee of the Board of Directors (the Audit Committee) and
management of the Company concluded that certain annual and interim
period consolidated financial statements, as of and for the periods
ended June 30, 2016 and prior thereto, require restatement and
should no longer be relied upon. Similarly, related press releases
and earnings releases, as well as managements report on the
effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting as of
such periods, should no longer be relied upon.

The Company has made this determination based on its evaluation of
the internal and external reviews of its loan portfolio, the
adequacy of the allowance for loan losses with respect to such
loans and the appropriate periods in which any impairment with
respect to such loans should be recognized. The Company is
continuing to assess and quantify these and other potentially
significant matters, including the impact that its loan portfolio
evaluation may have on the Company’s previous conclusions
regarding the carrying values of deferred tax assets and other tax
motivated investments during such prior periods. The impact of
these assessments is expected to be reflected in the restated
financial statements. At this time, the Company has determined that
the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December
31, 2015, as well as each of the interim periods within 2016 and
2015, require restatement. The Company requires additional time to
determine the extent to which additional prior periods may be
subject to restatement.

The Company intends to file as soon as practicable restated
consolidated financial statements as of and of for the year ended
December 31, 2015, and any prior period determined to be materially
impacted by such adjustments, in the Companys Annual Report on Form
10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016 (2016 Form 10-K). In
addition, the Company intends to include in the 2016 Form 10-K (i)
restated Selected Financial Data for the years covered by the
restatement and (ii) a discussion of the effect of the restatement
upon the covered periods as a part of Managements Discussion and
Analysis. Based on the information the Company intends to include
in its 2016 Form 10-K, the Company does not intend to file an
amendment to the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K or the
quarterly reports on Forms 10-Q for the year ended December 31,
2015 or any prior period. In connection with the filing of its 2016
Form 10-K, the Company intends to amend its quarterly reports on
Forms 10-Q for the periods ended March 31, 2016 and June 30, 2016,
as appropriate.

The Audit Committee and the Companys management have discussed the
matters disclosed in this Form 8-K under this Item 4.02(a) with the
Companys independent registered public accounting firm, Crowe
Horwath LLP.

On April 20, 2017, First NBC Bank (the Bank), the wholly-owned
subsidiary of the Company, took action to appoint Brad Calloway as
