On December 23, 2008, the Board of Directors of Security Bank Corporation (the “Company”) elected Tony E. Collins as a new member of the Board of Directors. Mr. Collins currently serves as the President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company. The Board of Directors has not yet appointed Mr. Collins to any board committee. Biographical information for Mr. Collins may be found in the Company’s proxy statement on Schedule 14A filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 1, 2008.

The Company also has realigned certain executive management responsibilities. As previously announced in its December 23, 2008 press release, the Company elected Melville A. Jamison II as its Executive Vice President and Chief Credit Officer. Richard A. Collinsworth, Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer of the Company, previously performed the duties of Chief Credit Officer. Mr. Collinsworth will continue his duties as Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer. In addition, Mr. Collins and Mr. Collinsworth previously served as Regional Executives for Atlanta and Middle Georgia, respectively. Due to the various management changes that have occurred during 2008, the Company has decided that the Regional Executive duties are no longer required.
