Item 1 Comment:

Reynolds with respect to the common stock, $1.00 par value per share (the "Common Stock"), of First Guaranty Bancshares, Inc., a Louisiana corporation (the "Issuer"). Unless otherwise defined herein, capitalized terms used in this Amendment No. 2 shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Original Statement. Unless amended or supplemented below, the information in the Statement remains unchanged.
This Amendment No. 2 is being filed to reflect the purchase of Common Stock by Marshall T. Reynolds directly from the Issuer in a private placement completed on December 31, 2025 (the "December Private Placement") as well as changes in the percentage of outstanding shares of the Common Stock which did not collectively result in a material change with respect to the reporting person's ownership of Issuer Common Stock.
This Schedule 13D relates to the common stock, $1.00 par value per share (the "Common Stock"), of First Guaranty Bancshares, Inc., a Louisiana corporation (the "Issuer"). The principal executive offices of the Issuer are located at 400 East Thomas Street, Hammond, Louisiana 70401.
The Issuer had 15,793,433 shares of Common Stock outstanding as of January 2, 2026, after giving effect to the December Private Placement. All beneficial ownership and voting power percentage calculations with respect to the Common Stock are based on the outstanding shares as of such date.
All beneficial ownership calculations contained in this Schedule 13D have been made in accordance with Rule 13d-3 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.
