ITEM 1.01    Entry Into and Modification of a Material Definitive Agreement

On March 26, 2010, First National Bancshares, Inc. (the “Company”) and Nexity Bank (the “Lender”) entered into a First Amendment to the Loan Modification and Settlement Agreement (the “Amendment”), amending that certain Loan Modification and Settlement Agreement dated December 30, 2009 (the “Settlement Agreement”), regarding the Loan Agreement, Stock Pledge Agreement, and Promissory Note, each dated as of December 28, 2007 between the parties (collectively, as subsequently amended and modified from time to time, the “Loan Documents”).  As of March 26, 2010, the Company was in noncompliance with certain terms of the Settlement Agreement.  The Company's entry into the Amendment removes this noncompliance and the Company is now in total compliance with all provisions of the Settlement Agreement.

Pursuant to the terms of the Amendment, on March 26, 2010 the Company remitted to the Lender via wire transfer $147,827.38 to satisfy interest owed to the Lender for the quarter ended December 31, 2009.  The Lender agreed to extend the Payment Date (as defined in the Settlement Agreement) to June 15, 2010, by which date the Company may pay the Lender the sum of $3,500,000, plus accrued interest, in full settlement of the Loan, subject to regulatory approval.

The Settlement Agreement is described in and attached as Exhibit 10.23 to our Form 10-K filed March 10, 2010.  The Loan Documents are described in and attached as Exhibits 10.2, 10.3, and 10.4, respectively, to our Form 8-K filed April 1, 2009.

A copy of the news release announcing this matter is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1.
