Dear Shareholder,
As shareholders of First Business Financial Services, you will be interested in the attached press release on our dividend increase. In order to provide additional predictable returns to our shareholders, we began paying dividends in 2003 and have increased the total dividend paid each year, with the announced increase now providing an annualized dividend equivalent of $0.28 per share. Details on our dividend history can be found under the Investor Relations tab of our website at www.firstbusiness.com.
We also want to take this opportunity to remind you of the ability to have your dividend directly deposited to your account at any bank. To sign up for this convenient service, please call Computershare, our transfer agent, at 1-800-893-4698.
Finally, we want to invite you to our annual shareholder meeting to be held on May 5, 2008 at 6:00 PM CDT at the Fluno Center in Madison, where we will provide a review of the success we had in 2007 in executing our growth plan. Once again this year, we will be hosting a reception after the meeting and look forward to seeing you there.
Your shareholder packet will be mailed to you by Computershare on or around April 3, 2008. Please return your proxy card with your vote, or vote your shares via the internet or telephone. Your vote is important to us, so please respond in a timely fashion.
