Fidelity Bancorp, Inc. (Nasdaq Global Market: FSBI) (the "Company") today announced that it sold $7 million in preferred stock to the U.S. Department of Treasury as a participant in the federal government's TARP Capital Purchase Program. This represents approximately 1.5% of the Company's risk-weighted assets as of September 30, 2008. In connection with the investment, the Company also issued a warrant to the Treasury which permits the Treasury to purchase up to 121,387 shares of its common stock at an exercise price of $8.65 per share.

"We are very pleased to participate in the TARP Capital Purchase Program which is designed to provide additional capital to healthy, well managed financial institutions," said Richard G. Spencer, President and CEO of the Company. "This investment will further strengthen our capital position, increase our ability to finance attractive lending opportunities, and enable the Company to provide additional support for economic growth in our local markets."

The Treasury Department's TARP Capital Purchase Program is a voluntary program for healthy U.S. financial institutions designed to encourage these institutions to build capital to increase the flow of financing to U.S. businesses and consumers and to support the U.S. economy.
