TIB Financial Corp. (Nasdaq: TIBB) is a growth-oriented financial services company with approximately $1.4 billion in total assets and 20 full-service banking offices in Naples, Bonita Springs, Fort Myers, Venice, Sebring, South Miami-Dade, and the Florida Keys. Headquartered in Naples, Florida, the company is traded on The Nasdaq Stock Market under the ticker symbol TIBB.

The company conducts business primarily through its wholly owned subsidiary, TIB Bank. TIB Bank was established in 1974 as "The Islamorada Bank" in Islamorada, Florida. As the bank expanded throughout the Florida Keys the name was changed to "TIB Bank of the Keys." TIB Bank was founded on the principles of exceptional attention to the needs of its customers and the highest quality financial services. The bank has since expanded from its headquarters in Key Largo to become the dominant full-service commercial bank in the Florida Keys and a leading locally-managed force within its wider contiguous marketplace of Monroe, South Miami-Dade, Collier and Lee counties.

On April 30, 2007, TIB Financial Corp. became a two-bank financial holding company with the acquisition of The Bank of Venice.

The Bank of Venice operates as a separate bank, under a separate charter, led by its Board of Directors and Officers who cultivated this successful organization. This partnership will provide the Sarasota County market the community bank focus that customers desire and comprehensive product and service offerings and technological advantages afforded by only much larger institutions. The Bank of Venice currently has three offices.

As of December 31, 2007, The Bank of Venice reported total assets of $72.9 million, total loans of $58.7 million, total deposits of $51.9.

TIB Financial Corp., through its wholly-owned subsidiaries, TIB Bank and The Bank of Venice, serves the personal and commercial banking needs of local residents and businesses in their market areas. The Bank's experienced bankers are local community leaders, who focus on a relationship-based approach built around anticipating specific customer needs, providing sound advice and making timely decisions.
