EXPLANATORY NOTE

This Current Report on Form 8-K/A (the "Amendment") amends the Current Report on Form 8-K filed by First Northern Community Bancorp (the "Company") with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on May 18, 2017 (the "Initial Form 8-K").  The Initial Form 8-K reported the final voting results of the Company's 2017 Annual Meeting of Shareholders held on May 16, 2017 (the "2017 Annual Meeting").  The sole purpose of this Amendment is to disclose the Company's decision regarding how frequently it will conduct non-binding shareholder advisory votes on the compensation of its named executive officers.  Other than this additional disclosure, no changes are being made to the Initial Form 8-K.

ITEM 5.07.  SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS

(d)

As previously reported in the Initial Form 8-K, at the 2017 Annual Meeting, the Company's shareholders voted on, among other matters, a non-binding advisory proposal concerning the frequency of future advisory votes on the compensation of the Company's named executive officers.  The results of this non-binding advisory vote were reported in the initial Form 8-K.  The Company has determined that it will hold a non-binding shareholder advisory vote on the compensation of the Company's named executive officers every three years until the Company holds its next shareholder advisory vote on the frequency of such advisory votes or until the Company's Board of Directors otherwise determines that a different frequency for such non-binding advisory votes is in the best interests of the Company.

Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the registrant has duly caused this report to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned hereunto duly authorized.
