Independent Bank Corporation Announces Date For Its Fourth Quarter 2009 Earnings Release

IONIA, Mich., Jan. 18 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Independent Bank Corporation (Nasdaq: IBCP), a Michigan-based community bank, announced that it expects to issue its 2009 fourth quarter and full year financial results on Feb. 24, 2010 at approximately 4:30 pm ET.  The date of this release is intended to coincide with the approximate date of the filing of the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended Dec. 31, 2009.  The release will be available on the Internet at IndependentBank.com within the "News" section of the "Investor Relations" area of the Company's Web site.

Second, the Company expects, in the near term, to make one or more filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission in connection with the matters that are the subject of the Special Meeting of its shareholders.
