,

INFORMATION ABOUT THE SPECIAL MEETING
When is the special meeting?
Thursday, July 30, 2009 at 3:30 p.m., Central Time.
Where will the special meeting be held?
381 Mallory Station Road, Suite 207, Franklin, Tennessee 37067.
What items will be voted upon at the special meeting?
You will be voting upon the following matters:
-
-
Approval of an amendment to our charter, as amended (the "Charter"), to authorize 20,000,000 shares of common stock, $0.50
par value per share ("Common Stock"); and
-
-
Transaction of such other business as may properly come before the meeting or any adjournment thereof.
Who can vote?
You are entitled to vote your Common Stock if our records show that you held your shares as of the close of business on June 8,
2009, the record date for the special meeting. On that date, we had 10,000,000 authorized shares of Common Stock, of which there were
[ ]
shares
outstanding and entitled to vote. Each shareholder is entitled to one vote
for each share of Common Stock held on June 8, 2009. The Common Stock is our only class of outstanding voting securities for purposes of the special meeting of shareholders.
How do I vote by proxy?
If you sign, date and return your signed proxy card before the special meeting, your shares will be voted as you direct. For approval
of the amendment to our Charter, you may vote "for" or "against" or you
Table of Contents
may
abstain from voting. If you return your signed proxy card but do not specify how you want to vote your shares, your shares will be voted "
FOR
" the
approval of the amendment to our Charter.
The
board of directors knows of no other business to be presented at the special meeting. If any matters other than those set forth above are properly brought before the special meeting,
the individuals named in your proxy card may vote your shares in accordance with their best judgment.
How do I change or revoke my proxy?
You can change or revoke your proxy at any time before it is voted at the special meeting by:
-
-
Submitting another proxy with a more recent date than that of the proxy first given;
-
-
Sending written notice of revocation to the Corporate Secretary, c/o Tennessee Commerce Bancorp, Inc., 381 Mallory
Station Road, Suite 207, Franklin, Tennessee 37067; or
-
-
Attending the special meeting and voting in person, although attending the meeting will not by itself revoke your
previously granted proxy.
If I plan to attend the special meeting, should I still vote by proxy?
Yes. Casting your vote in advance does not affect your right to attend or vote at the special meeting. Written ballots will be
available at the special meeting for shareholders of record. If you return your proxy card and also attend the meeting, you do not need to vote again at the meeting unless you want to change your
vote.
How many votes are required?
Assuming a quorum is present at the special meeting, the amendment to our Charter and any other matters submitted to the shareholders
will be approved if the votes cast (in person or by proxy by the shares of Common Stock entitled to vote at the meeting) favoring the action exceed the votes cast (in person or by proxy by the shares
of Common Stock entitled to vote at the meeting) opposing the action.
What constitutes a "quorum" for the special meeting?
A majority of the shares of Common Stock, representing a majority of the votes entitled to be cast, present or represented by proxy,
constitutes a quorum for the special meeting. A quorum is necessary to conduct business at the special meeting. Because there were
[ ]
shares of
Common Stock issued and outstanding as of June 8, 2009, at least
[ ]
shares must be present or represented by proxy for a quorum to exist.
What is the effect of abstentions and can brokers vote shares held in "street name" without receipt of voting instructions?
Abstentions
are included in determining the number of shares present or represented at the special meeting for purposes of determining whether a quorum exists. Abstentions will be
disregarded in the vote to approve the amendment to our Charter.
Under
the rules that govern brokers who are voting with respect to shares held in "street name," brokers have discretionary authority to vote such shares on "routine" matters, such as a
proposal to increase the number of authorized shares of common stock for general corporate purposes where there are no specific plans for the increased shares. Therefore, because the proposal to amend
our Charter is a "routine" matter, if your shares are held in "street name" and you do not provide specific voting instructions to your broker, the broker may vote your shares with respect to such
proposal.

Table of Contents
Who pays for the solicitation of proxies?
This Proxy Statement is being furnished in connection with the solicitation of proxies by our board of directors. We will pay the cost
of preparing, printing and mailing material in connection with this solicitation of proxies. In addition to being solicited through the mails, proxies may be solicited personally or by telephone,
facsimile or email by our officers, directors or employees who will receive no additional compensation for such activities. Arrangements will also be made with brokerage houses and other custodians,
nominees and fiduciaries to forward solicitation materials to the beneficial owners of shares held of record by such persons. Such brokerage houses and other custodians, nominees and fiduciaries will
be reimbursed for their reasonable expenses incurred in such connection.
We
have not retained and do not anticipate retaining the services of a third party to aid in the solicitation of proxies from banks, brokers, nominees and intermediaries and the
tabulation of votes at the special meeting. If we determine that it is necessary or desirable to retain the services of a proxy solicitor, however, we anticipate using Corporate
Communications, Inc. to engage such a firm on our behalf and we expect that the related fees and expenses would be less than $15,000.
When are shareholder proposals for next year's annual meeting due?
Proposals by shareholders to be considered for inclusion in the proxy materials solicited by the directors for the annual meeting in
2010 must be received by the Corporate Secretary at Tennessee Commerce Bancorp, Inc., 381 Mallory Station Road, Suite 207, Franklin, Tennessee 37067, no later than December 21,
2009. The use of certified mail, return receipt requested, is advised. To be eligible for inclusion, a proposal must comply with Rule 14a-8 and all other applicable provisions of
Regulation 14A under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act").
If
a shareholder, rather than placing a proposal in our proxy materials as discussed above, commences his or her own proxy solicitation for the 2010 annual meeting or seeks to nominate a
director candidate for election or propose business for consideration at such meeting, the shareholder must notify us of such proposal at the address above on or before March 6, 2010. If notice
is not received by this date, the individuals named as proxies on the proxy card for our 2010 annual meeting of shareholders will be entitled to exercise their discretionary authority in voting
proxies on any such shareholder proposal.

PROPOSAL 1: AMENDMENT OF CHARTER TO AUTHORIZE
20,000,000 SHARES OF COMMON STOCK
Introduction
On May 19, 2009, our board of directors authorized and approved an amendment to our Charter (the "Amendment") to authorize the
issuance of up to 20,000,000 shares of Common Stock. The Amendment is subject to approval by our shareholders. Our board of directors
has recommended that our shareholders approve the Amendment and, therefore, we are asking shareholders to approve the Amendment at the special meeting.
The
complete text of the Amendment is attached hereto as
Appendix A
. If the Amendment is approved by the shareholders, the Amendment will become
effective upon filing with the Tennessee Secretary of State, which we expect to occur promptly after the special meeting or any adjournment thereof. The text of the Amendment may vary, however, for
such changes that are consistent with this proposal that we may deem necessary or appropriate.
Purpose of the Amendment
Our board of directors believes that the number of shares of Common Stock presently available for future issuance under our Charter is
insufficient and has determined it to be in our best interests and in the best interests of our shareholders to propose an increase to the number of authorized shares of Common Stock for general
corporate purposes, potential capital raising transactions, stock splits, stock dividends and/or acquisitions. The board of directors from time to time evaluates such opportunities and considers
different capital structuring alternatives designed to advance our business strategy. Our board believes that the additional shares of Common Stock will provide us with an enhanced flexibility to
issue shares of Common Stock in the future without shareholder approval, except as may be required by law, regulation or stock exchange rules, to take advantage of market conditions or favorable
opportunities without the potential expense or delay incident to obtain shareholder approval for a particular issuance. Although we do not currently contemplate any particular transaction involving
the issuance of Common Stock, we believe that Common Stock may be a component in the future raising of capital.
Description of the Common Stock
Currently, our Charter authorizes the issuance of up to 10,000,000 shares of Common Stock. As of June 8, 2009,
[ ]
shares of Common Stock were issued and outstanding and 1,000,000 shares of Common
Stock were reserved for issuance under our 2007 Equity Plan, of which 2,016 shares have been issued pursuant to the exercise or vesting of equity awards granted thereunder. If this proposal is
approved by our shareholders, we will be authorized to issue up to 20,000,000 shares of Common Stock. Although we may consider issuing shares of Common Stock in the future for purposes of potential
capital raising transactions, stock splits, stock dividends and/or acquisitions, there are currently no binding agreements or commitments with respect to the issuance of Common Stock for any purpose.
The
additional authorized shares of Common Stock, if and when issued, would be part of the existing class of Common Stock and would have the same rights and privileges as the shares of
Common Stock presently outstanding. There are no preemption rights related to the Common Stock.
Possible Effects on Holders of Common Stock
The board of directors considered the possible negative impact the increase in the number of shares of Common Stock could have on the
existing shareholders. The board of directors believes that existing shareholders would experience some dilution of their ownership interests as additional shares of Common Stock are issued. The board
concluded that any such negative impact would be outweighed by the positive effect on the shareholders resulting from our growth.
4
Table of Contents
Possible Anti-Takeover Effects
The Amendment could adversely affect the ability of third parties to take us over or change our control by, for example, permitting
issuances that would dilute the stock ownership of a person seeking to effect a change in the composition of our board of directors or contemplating a tender offer or other transaction for the
combination of us with another company that the board determines is not in our best interests or in the best interests of our shareholders. The ability of our board of directors to cause us to issue
substantial amounts of Common Stock without the need for shareholder approval, except as may be required by law, regulation or stock exchange rules, upon such terms and conditions as our board of
directors may determine from time to time in the exercise of its business judgment may, among other things, be used to create voting impediments with respect to changes in our control or to dilute the
stock ownership of holders of Common Stock seeking to obtain control of us. The issuance of Common Stock, while providing desirable flexibility in connection with possible acquisitions, financings and
other corporate transactions, may have the effect of discouraging, delaying or preventing a change in our control. Our board, however, does not intend or view the increase in our authorized Common
Stock as an anti-takeover measure and is not aware of any attempt or plan to obtain control of us.
Dissenters' Rights
Pursuant to the Tennessee Business Corporation Act, shareholders are not entitled to dissenters' rights with respect to the Amendment.
Required Vote
Assuming a quorum is present, the Amendment will be approved by the shareholders if the votes cast (in person or by proxy by the shares
of Common Stock entitled to vote at the meeting) favoring approval of the Amendment exceed the votes cast (in person or by proxy by the shares of Common Stock entitled to vote at the meeting) opposing
approval of the Amendment.
The board of directors recommends that shareholders vote
"FOR" approval of the Amendment.

GENERAL INFORMATION
Householding of Proxy Materials
The Securities and Exchange Commission rules regarding delivery of proxy statements may be satisfied by delivering a single proxy
statement to an address shared by two or more of our shareholders. This method of delivery is referred to as "householding" and can result in meaningful cost savings for us. In order to take advantage
of this opportunity, we may deliver only one
proxy statement to certain multiple shareholders who share an address, unless we have received contrary instructions from one or more of these shareholders. Shareholders who participate in
householding, however, will continue to receive separate proxy cards. We undertake to deliver promptly upon request a separate copy of the proxy statement to a shareholder at a shared address to which
a single copy of this document was delivered. If you hold Common Stock as a registered shareholder and prefer to receive separate copies of a proxy statement and/or annual report either now or in the
future, please call (615) 599-2274 or send a written request to:
If
your stock is held through a broker or bank and you prefer to receive separate copies of a proxy statement either now or in the future, please contact such broker or bank.
Shareholders who share an address and are receiving multiple copies of proxy statements and annual reports and would prefer to receive a single copy of such material, either now or in the future, can
request delivery of a single copy of a proxy statement and/or annual report by calling (615) 599-2274 or sending a written request to the address above.
Important Notice Regarding the Availability of Proxy Materials for the Special Meeting
This Proxy Statement is available at
www.tncommercebank.com
on our Investor Relations
webpage under the caption "SEC Filings." If you wish to attend the special meeting and need directions, please call us at (615) 599-2274.
Our
management is not aware of any matters other than those described above which may be presented for action at the special meeting. If any other matters properly come before the
special meeting, the proxies will be voted with respect to such matters in accordance with the judgment of the person or persons voting such proxies, subject to the direction of our board of
directors.
