The deferred compensation obligations (the "Deferred Compensation Obligations") are unsecured obligations of National Commerce Corporation (the "Registrant") to pay deferred compensation in the
future in accordance with the terms of the National Commerce Corporation Deferral of Compensation Plan for Key Employees and Non-Employee Directors, adopted December 18, 2014 (the "Plan").
(2)
The registered amounts are comprised of $10,000,000 of Deferred Compensation Obligations and 500,000 shares of the Registrant's common stock, par value $0.01 per share ("Common Stock"), under the Plan.
(3)
Estimated solely for the purpose of calculating the registration fee pursuant to paragraph (h) of Rule 457 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), the amount of Deferred
Compensation Obligations registered is based on an estimate of the amount of compensation that may be deferred under the Plan. As to the Common Stock, the amount is based on the book value of the Common Stock as of September 30, 2014, which was
$16.36 per share.
(4)
The shares of Common Stock are distributable under the Plan in accordance with the terms of the Plan. In the event of a stock dividend, stock split, recapitalization or other similar transaction affected without the
receipt of consideration that increases the number of the Registrant's outstanding shares of Common Stock, the number of shares of Common Stock registered hereby shall automatically be increased to cover the additional shares in accordance with
Rule 416(a) under the Securities Act.

Item 4.
Description of Securities.
The securities registered hereunder consist of common stock,
par value $0.01 per share ("Common Stock"), of the Registrant and deferred compensation obligations ("Deferred Compensation Obligations") of the Registrant under the Plan. The Common Stock being registered hereunder has been
registered pursuant to Section 12 of the Exchange Act. The Deferred Compensation Obligations represent the contractual obligations of the Registrant to pay or distribute when due to participants in the Plan cash or shares of Common Stock with
respect to amounts deferred in accordance with the terms of the Plan. No participant under the Plan shall have any preferred claim to, or any beneficial ownership in, any assets that are subject to the Plan. All such assets are subject to the claims
of the creditors of the Registrant until they are paid to the participant in accordance with the terms of the Plan. A participant's interest under the Plans may not be sold, transferred, pledged or otherwise encumbered. The amount of eligible
compensation to be deferred by each participant is determined in accordance with the terms of the Plan based on elections by the participant. The Plan is included as Exhibit 99.1 to this Registration Statement. Such Exhibit sets forth a description
of the Deferred Compensation Obligations and is incorporated in its entirety in this Item 4 pursuant to Rule 411(b)(3) under the Securities Act.

Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
The Registrant's Bylaws provide for the
mandatory indemnification of a director, officer, employee or agent of the Registrant (or a person concurrently serving in such a capacity with another entity at the Registrant's request), to the extent such person has been successful on the
merits or otherwise in the defense of any threatened, pending or completed civil, criminal, administrative or investigative action, suit, arbitration or other proceeding to which such person is a party brought by or in the right of the Registrant or
by any other person or entity because he or she is a director, officer, employee or agent, for all reasonable fees, costs, charges, disbursements, attorneys' fees and other expenses incurred in connection with the proceeding. In all other
cases, the Registrant shall indemnify a director or officer, and may indemnify an employee or agent, of the Registrant against all liability and reasonable fees, costs, charges, disbursements, attorneys' fees and other expenses incurred by such
person in any proceeding to
3
which such person is a party brought by or in the right of the Registrant or by any other person or entity because he or she is a director, officer, employee or agent, unless it has been proven
by final adjudication that such person breached or failed to perform a duty owed to the Registrant that constituted:
•
a willful failure to deal fairly with the Registrant or its shareholders in connection with a matter in which the director, officer, employee or agent has a material conflict of interest;
•
a violation of criminal law, unless the director, officer, employee or agent had reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was lawful or no reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was unlawful;
•
a transaction from which the director, officer, employee or agent derived an improper personal profit; or
•
willful misconduct.
Unless modified by written agreement, the determination as to whether
indemnification is proper shall be made in accordance with the DGCL.
The Registrant is authorized to purchase and maintain insurance on
behalf of its directors, officers, employees or agents in connection with the foregoing indemnification obligations.
The Registrant
maintains standard policies of insurance under which coverage is provided (a) to the Registrant's directors and officers against loss rising from claims made by reason of breach of duty or other wrongful act, and (b) to the Registrant
with respect to payments which may be made by the Registrant to such officers and directors pursuant to the above indemnification provisions or otherwise as a matter of law. The Registrant currently maintains management liability insurance, excess
director and officer liability insurance and Side A director and officer liability insurance.
The Registrant is a party to separate
registration rights agreements with two stockholders, Charles Investment Group, LLC ("CIG") and NBC Holdings, LLC ("NBC Holdings"). These agreements include indemnification provisions in favor of: (i) CIG, NBC Holdings, and
certain persons to whom either of these entities transfers its registrable shares (each, a "Holder"), (ii) any underwriter participating in a registered offering made pursuant to the respective agreement, (iii) any officer,
partner, manager, director or controlling person of a Holder or underwriter, and (iv) any representative of a Holder serving on the Registrant's board of directors (each such person, an "Indemnified Party"), against certain
losses and liabilities (including interest, penalties and attorneys' fees) resulting from any breach of a representation or warranty made by the Registrant in an underwriting agreement or an untrue statement or omission of material fact in any
registration statement or prospectus pursuant to which an Indemnified Party sells shares of the Registrant's common stock, except to the extent that such liability arose from written information provided to the Registrant by the Indemnified
Party specifically for use therein, in which case, if the Indemnified Party is a Holder, such Holder must indemnify the Registrant, any participating underwriter, and any officer, partner, manager, director or controlling person of the Registrant or
underwriter for liabilities arising from the information from which the breach, misstatement or omission resulted, in an amount up to the amount of net proceeds received by the Holder in the offering.

Item 8.
Exhibits.
For a list of all exhibits filed or included as part of this Registration
Statement, see "Index to Exhibits" at the end of this Registration Statement.
Item 9.
Undertakings.
(a) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:
(1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration
statement:
(i)
To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933;
(ii)
To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a
fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was
registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price
represent no more than a 20 percent change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the "Calculation of Registration Fee" table in the effective registration statement;
(iii)
To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such information in the registration statement;
Provided, however
, that paragraphs (a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii) do not apply if the information required to be included
in a
post-effective
amendment by those paragraphs is contained in reports filed with or furnished to the Commission by the registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934 that are incorporated by reference in the registration statement.
(2) That, for the purpose of
determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be
deemed to be the initial
bona fide
offering thereof.
(3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective
amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.
(b) The undersigned registrant
hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the registrant's annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (and, where
applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan's annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) that is incorporated by reference in the registration statement shall be deemed to be a new registration
statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial
bona fide
offering thereof.
5
(c) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be
permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is
against public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or
controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the
opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the
final adjudication of such issue.
