COMMUNITY CAPITAL BANCSHARES, INC. 2815 Meredyth Drive Albany, Georgia 31707 (229) 446-2265 PROXY STATEMENT FOR 2018 ANNUAL MEETING Time and Place of the Meeting INTRODUCTION Our Board of Directors is furnishing this proxy statement in connection with its solicitation of proxies for use at the annual meeting of shareholders to be held on Tuesday, May 22, 2018 at 4:30 p.m. at the main office of AB&T, 2815 Meredyth Drive, Albany, Georgia 31707, and at any adjournments of the meeting. Record Date and Mailing Date The close of business on April 6, 2018 is the record date for the determination of shareholders entitled to notice of and to vote at the meeting. We first distributed this proxy statement and the accompanying proxy card to shareholders on or about April 12, 2018. Number of Shares Outstanding As of the close of business on the record date, Community Capital had 10,000,000 shares of common stock, $1.00 par value, authorized, of which 6,154,246 shares were issued and outstanding. Each issued and outstanding share is entitled to one vote on all matters presented at the meeting. Community Capital also has 2,000,000 shares of preferred stock, no par value, authorized, of which no shares were issued and outstanding as of the close of business on the record date. Proposals to Be Considered VOTING AT THE ANNUAL MEETING Election of Directors. Shareholders will be asked to elect five (5) persons to serve as Class I Directors for a three-year term. The persons previously elected to serve as Class II and III Directors will serve as continuing directors. All classes are described beginning on page 1. Reverse Stock Split Proposal. Shareholders will be asked to approve an amendment to our Articles of Incorporation to implement a reverse stock split of our common stock at a ratio of up to 1:5 (one share for each five outstanding shares). Ratification of the Appointment of Public Accounting Firm. Shareholders will also be asked to ratify the appointment of Mauldin & Jenkins, Certified Public Accountants, LLC ( Mauldin & Jenkins ) to serve as the independent registered public accounting firm for Community Capital for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2018, which is described beginning on page 5. The Board of Directors recommends a vote FOR approval of the above proposals. 1

Procedures for Voting by Proxy If you properly sign, return, and do not revoke your proxy (or properly submit it online and do not revoke it), the persons appointed as proxies will vote your shares according to the instructions you have specified on the proxy card. If you sign and return your proxy card (or properly submit it online) but do not specify how the persons appointed as proxies are to vote your shares, your proxy will be voted FOR the election of the director nominees, FOR the approval of the amendment to our Articles of Incorporation implementing the Reverse Stock Split Proposal, FOR the ratification of the appointment of Mauldin & Jenkins as the independent registered accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2018, and in the best judgment of the persons appointed as proxies as to all other matters properly brought before the meeting. If any nominee for election to the Board of Directors named in this proxy statement becomes unavailable for election for any reason, the proxy will be voted for a substitute nominee selected by the Board of Directors. In addition to returning a manually signed proxy card through the mail or by hand delivery, we are also providing our shareholders with an opportunity to vote their shares online. The proxy card contains instructions for voting online. You can revoke your proxy at any time before it is voted by delivering a written revocation of the proxy or a duly executed proxy bearing a later date to James L. Flatt, President and Chief Executive Officer of Community Capital, at the main office of Community Capital, or by attending the meeting and voting in person. Requirements for Shareholder Approval A quorum will be present at the meeting if a majority of the outstanding shares of common stock is represented in person or by valid proxy. We will count abstentions and broker non-votes, which are described below, in determining whether a quorum exists. Only those votes actually cast for the election of a director, however, will be counted for purposes of determining whether a particular director nominee receives sufficient votes to be elected. To be elected, a director nominee must receive more votes than any other nominee for the particular seat on the Board of Directors. As a result, if you withhold your vote as to one or more nominees, it will have no effect on the outcome of the election unless you cast that vote for a competing nominee. At the present time we do not know of any competing nominees. To be approved, the Reverse Stock Split Proposal requires the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of our outstanding shares of common stock. Abstentions and broker non-votes will have the effect of negative votes. To be approved, the ratification of the appointment of Mauldin & Jenkins, and any other matters that may properly come before the annual meeting, require the affirmative vote of a majority of the shares of common stock present at the annual meeting and entitled to vote on the matter. Abstentions and broker non-votes will be counted in determining the minimum number of votes required for approval and will, therefore, have the effect of negative votes. Abstentions. A shareholder who is present in person or by proxy at the annual meeting and who abstains from voting on any or all proposals will be included in the number of shareholders present at the annual meeting for the purpose of determining the presence of a quorum. Abstentions do not count as votes in favor of or against a given matter but will have the effect of a vote against the Reverse Stock Split Proposal and the ratification of the appointment of Mauldin & Jenkins as independent registered public accounting firm. Broker Non-Votes. Brokers who hold shares for the accounts of their clients may vote these shares either as directed by their clients or in their own discretion if permitted by the exchange or other organization of which they are members. All NYSE and NASDAQ member brokers are prohibited from exercising discretionary voting in all director elections unless the broker has instructions from the beneficial shareholder on how to vote. Proxies that contain a broker vote on one or more proposals but no vote on others are referred to as broker non-votes with respect to the proposal(s) not voted upon. Broker non-votes are included in determining the presence of a quorum. A broker non-vote, however, does not count as a vote in favor of or against a particular proposal for which the broker has no discretionary voting authority, including uncontested director elections. 2

SOLICITATION OF PROXIES Community Capital pays for all costs associated with proxy solicitation. Our directors, officers and employees may, without additional compensation, solicit proxies by personal interview, telephone, fax or otherwise. We will direct brokerage firms or other custodians, nominees, or fiduciaries to forward our proxy solicitation material to the beneficial owners of common stock held of record by these institutions and will reimburse them for the reasonable out-of-pocket expenses they incur in connection with this process. 3

PROPOSAL 1: ELECTION OF DIRECTORS The Board of Directors is comprised of fourteen (14) members and is divided into three classes: Class I will have five (5), Class II will have four (4), and Class III will have five (5). All directors serve for staggered terms of three years each. The term of each class expires at the annual meeting in the years indicated below and upon the election and qualification of the director s successor. The Board unanimously recommends shareholders vote FOR the election of the Class I Directors. The following table shows for each nominee and continuing director: (a) his or her name; (b) his or her age at March 31, 2018; (c) how long he or she has been a director of Community Capital; (d) his or her position(s) with Community Capital, other than as a director; and (e) his or her principal occupation. All of the directors listed below are also directors of AB&T, the wholly owned subsidiary of Community Capital.

Martin Farms, Inc.; Partner, Phillips & Spurlock Lawrence B. Willson (67) 1998 President and Chief Executive Officer, Sunnyland Farms, Inc.; Owner, Willson Farming Co., LLC PROPOSAL 2: AMENDMENT TO COMMUNITY CAPITAL S ARTICLES OF INCORPORATION TO EFFECT A REVERSE STOCK SPLIT AS AUTHORIZED BY THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS The Board of Directors is recommending that the shareholders authorize a reverse stock split of our outstanding shares of common stock at a ratio of 1:5 (one share for each 5 outstanding shares) (the Stock Split Ratio ). If this proposal is approved, it will become effective upon the filing of, or on the effective date specified in, an amendment to our Articles of Incorporation with the Secretary of State of the State of Georgia (the Effective Date ). If a reverse stock split is implemented, the number of issued and outstanding shares of common stock would be reduced in accordance with the Stock Split Ratio and the market price per share of the issued and outstanding shares would likely be increased by the same factor. Approval of the Reverse Stock Split Proposal would not affect the number of shares authorized in our Articles of Incorporation. The total number of authorized shares is currently 10,000,000 shares of common stock and 2,000,000 shares of preferred stock. The form of the amendment to our Articles of Incorporation to effect the reverse stock split is attached as Appendix A to this Proxy Statement. Approval of the Reverse Stock Split Proposal will constitute approval of such amendment in the form filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Georgia within the parameters specified herein. Purpose and Background of the Reverse Stock Split The Board s primary objective in proposing the reverse stock split is to provide it an opportunity to raise the per share trading price of our common stock. As of market close on March 19, 2018, the last trade of our common stock of which we are aware occurred at $2.66. We believe this price is lower than the per-share trading price of many of our peers and that there may be a negative connotation regarding the value of our common stock as a result. The reverse stock split is designed to increase our trading price per share. Because of the trading volatility often associated with low-priced stocks, many brokerage firms and institutional investors have internal policies and practices that either prohibit them from investing in low-priced stocks or tend to discourage individual brokers from recommending low-priced stocks to their customers. Many brokerage houses do not permit or favor lower-priced stocks to be used as collateral for margin accounts for retail investors. The brokerage commissions on the purchase or sale of lower priced stocks may also represent a higher percentage of the price than the 5

brokerage commission on higher priced stocks. We believe that the anticipated higher market price resulting from a reverse stock split would enable institutional investors and brokerage firms with policies and practices such as those described above to invest in our common stock. The reverse stock split will affect all of our shareholders uniformly and will not affect any shareholder s percentage ownership interests or proportionate voting power, except to the de minimus extent resulting from the treatment of fractional shares. In lieu of issuing fractional shares, the shares owned by each shareholder who would have otherwise been entitled to a fractional share will be rounded up to the nearest whole share. We will also adjust the exercise price of our outstanding stock options in proportion to the Stock Split Ratio. The Board believes that the reverse stock split will increase the price level of our common stock. The Board cannot predict, however, the precise effect of the reverse stock split upon the market price for our common stock, and the history of similar reverse stock splits for companies in like circumstances is varied. The market price per share of our common stock after the reverse stock split may not rise in proportion to the reduction in the number of shares of common stock outstanding resulting from the reverse stock split, which would reduce our market capitalization. The market price per post-reverse stock split share may not remain at a level higher than it was pre-reverse stock split and the price may also vary based on our performance and other factors. The principal effects of the reverse stock split will be that (i) the number of shares of common stock issued and outstanding will be reduced by a factor of five and the market price per share would likely increase by a factor of five. Based on the $2.66 per share closing price of the common stock and 6,154,246 shares outstanding as of the record date, a 1:5 reverse stock split would likely increase the price per share to $13.30 and would reduce the number of outstanding shares to 1,230,850 (without regard to the treatment of fractional shares); (ii) all outstanding options entitling the holders thereof to purchase shares of common stock will enable such holders to purchase, upon exercise of their options, the number of shares of common stock that such holders would have been able to purchase upon exercise of their options immediately preceding the reverse stock split divided by five, at an exercise price equal to the exercise price specified before the reverse stock split multiplied by five, resulting in the same aggregate price being required to be paid upon exercise thereof immediately preceding the reverse stock split; and (iii) the number of shares reserved for issuance pursuant to Community Capital s stock incentive plans will be reduced by dividing that number by the Stock Split Ratio. The reverse stock split will not change our number of authorized shares of common stock, which is 10,000,000. Assuming our number of outstanding shares of common stock is reduced from 6,154,246 to 1,230,850 as a result of the reverse stock split, our number of authorized but unissued shares of common stock will increase from 3,845,754 to 8,769,150. The issuance of authorized but unissued shares of common stock can be approved by the Board of Directors without further shareholder approval. The reverse stock split will not affect the par value of the common stock. As a result, on the effective date of the reverse stock split, the stated capital on our balance sheet attributable to the common stock will be divided by the Stock Split Ratio, and the additional paid-in capital account will be credited with the amount by which the stated capital is reduced. The per share net income or loss and net book value of the common stock will be retroactively increased for each period because there will be fewer shares of common stock outstanding. This amendment to the Articles of Incorporation will not change the terms of the common stock. After the reverse stock split, the shares of common stock will have the same voting rights and rights to dividends and distributions and will be identical in all other respects to the common stock now authorized. Each shareholder s percentage ownership of the new common stock will not be altered except for the effect of eliminating fractional shares. The common stock issued pursuant to the reverse stock split will remain fully paid and non-assessable. 6

The reverse stock split would result in some shareholders owning odd-lots of less than 100 shares of our common stock. Brokerage commissions and other costs of transactions in odd-lots are generally higher than the costs of transactions in round-lots of even multiples of 100 shares. Procedure for Effecting Reverse Stock Split and Exchange of Stock Certificates If the Reverse Stock Split Proposal is approved by our shareholders, the reverse stock split would become effective at such time as the amendment to our Articles of Incorporation, the form of which is attached as Appendix A to this Proxy Statement, is filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Georgia or on the effective date specified therein. Upon the filing of the amendment, all of our existing common stock will be converted into new common stock as set forth in the amendment. We will announce the Effective Date at least ten days in advance. As soon as practicable after the Effective Date, shareholders will be notified that the reverse stock split has been effected. Our transfer agent will act as exchange agent for purposes of implementing the exchange of stock certificates. Holders of pre-reverse stock split shares will be asked to surrender to the exchange agent certificates representing prereverse stock split shares in exchange for certificates representing post-reverse stock split shares in accordance with the procedures to be set forth in a letter of transmittal that will be delivered to shareholders. No new certificates will be issued to a shareholder until the shareholder has surrendered to the exchange agent his, her or its outstanding certificate(s) together with the properly completed and executed letter of transmittal. SHAREHOLDERS SHOULD NOT DESTROY ANY STOCK CERTIFICATES AND SHOULD NOT SUBMIT ANY CERTIFICATES UNTIL REQUESTED TO DO SO. Shareholders whose shares are held by their stockbroker do not need to submit old share certificates for exchange. These shares will automatically reflect the new quantity of shares based on the reverse stock split. Beginning on the Effective Date, each certificate representing pre-reverse stock split shares will be deemed for all corporate purposes to evidence ownership of post-reverse stock split shares. Fractional Shares We will not issue fractional certificates for post-reverse stock split shares in connection with the reverse stock split. Instead, we will round up the number of shares held by each shareholder who would otherwise have been entitled to a fraction of a share to the nearest whole share. No Dissenters Rights Under the Georgia Business Corporation Code, shareholders will not be entitled to dissenters rights with respect to the proposed amendment to our Articles of Incorporation to effect the reverse stock split, and we do not intend to independently provide shareholders with any such right. Certain U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences of the Reverse Stock Split We believe that the federal income tax consequences of the reverse stock split to shareholders will be as follows: 1. No gain or loss will be recognized by a shareholder on the surrender of the existing shares or receipt of a certificate representing new shares. 2. The aggregate tax basis of the new shares of common stock will equal the aggregate tax basis of the existing shares exchanged therefor. 3. The holding period of the new shares will include the holding period of the existing shares if such existing shares were held as capital assets on the date of the exchange. 4. The conversion of the existing shares into new shares will produce no gain or loss to Community Capital. 5. If you acquired your shares at different times, you will be required to determine the basis and holding period as described in 2 and 3 above separately for each lot of shares you own. 7

Our opinion contained herein is not binding upon the Internal Revenue Service or the Courts, and there can be no assurance that the Internal Revenue Service or the courts will accept the position as expressed above. This summary does not purport to be complete and does not address the tax consequences to holders that are subject to special rules, such as banks, insurance companies, regulated investment companies, personal holding companies, foreign entities, non-resident foreign individuals, broker-dealers and tax exempt entities. The state and local tax consequences of the reverse stock split may vary significantly as to each shareholder, depending upon the state in which the shareholder resides. The foregoing summary is included for general information only. Accordingly, shareholders are urged to consult their own tax advisors with respect to the federal, state and local tax consequences of the reverse stock split. Vote Required for Approval The affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the shares of our common stock outstanding as of the record date is required to approve the proposed amendment to our Articles of Incorporation set forth in Appendix A. The Board unanimously recommends that shareholders vote FOR the approval of the Reverse Stock Split Proposal. PROPOSAL 3: RATIFICATION OF THE APPOINTMENT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM The Board of Directors has approved Mauldin & Jenkins to serve as the independent registered public accounting firm for Community Capital for the year ending December 31, 2018, subject to ratification by the shareholders. Mauldin & Jenkins also served as the independent auditors for Community Capital for the year ended December 31, 2017. Although shareholder ratification of our independent auditors is not required by our Bylaws or otherwise, we are submitting the selection of Mauldin & Jenkins to shareholders for ratification to permit shareholders to participate in this important corporate decision.
