Exhibit 99.1

Plumas Bank Enters into Agreement with its Regulators

QUINCY, California, March 21, 2011 — Plumas Bancorp (NASDAQ:PLBC), the parent company of Plumas Bank, reported that Plumas Bank has entered into a consent order with the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation and the California Department of Financial Institutions. Plumas Bank has agreed to a number of conditions: continue to reduce certain classified asset balances, maintain strong capital ratios, improve lending policies and practices, and retain qualified management as stated in the terms of the order.

“Appropriate steps to comply with the order are underway and the bank is on track to meet its conditions within the required time period,” Plumas Bank interim president and CEO Andrew J. Ryback said. He continued, “The order serves to formalize and reinforce our on-going plans to strengthen the company and continue to implement the bank’s strategic plan. Currently the bank has exceeded the order’s total risk-based capital ratio goal of 13% and we expect to achieve the leverage ratio target of 10% by year-end without the injection of any new capital.” Ryback concluded, “Reducing problem assets has been and will continue to be one of the top priorities of the company. We remain dedicated to returning Plumas Bank to a position of strength.”
