FNCC is very excited to announce the results of its most recent ESOP results. ESOP share value increased in 2021 by 50.6% due to the exceptional company results.

This is the second time in FNCC history where the company provided “equity” ownership to its employees, with the first being Stock Options that were redeemed simultaneous to the ESOP transaction. Those stock options represented $8.11 Million in cash to employees. Combined FNCC has provided equity opportunities and or cash distributions of $24.4 million.
Keith Duggan, CEO of First National, said “One of my most proud achievements since founding FNCC 17 years ago is to deliver on the promise that the company would not only provide exceptional income opportunities, challenging and rewarding work and a stable work environment through good times and bad, but additionally through “shared ownership/upside” we would give our employees “life changing” income and equity opportunities. Originally through our Stock Option plan where 17 of employees shared in the equity upside of FNCC, and then subsequently through the ESOP we are delivering on this promise”.
