OPPORTUNITY FOR CONTINUED STRONG ORGANIC GROWTH
Highlights
As the impact of the financial crisis waned in late
2011, the Company began to refocus on growth
Hired Mike Syrek as CLO
Developed expertise and platform to bank more
sophisticated C&I relationships
Hired additional talented bankers in Lynchburg
Made key hires to expand into Charlottesville and
Harrisonburg
The Company has positioned itself as the bank of
choice
Opportunity to hire the best banking talent in the region
Customer service and reputation accelerate business
development
Recent market disruption from recent mergers and
branch sales further increases the ability to
capitalize on talent and clients dislocated by this
process
The Company’s market area provides an
opportunity for significant continued organic
growth
While bigger banks have historically dominated
these markets, they are focused elsewhere
Significant opportunity to grow deposit market
share –
meaningful opportunity remains in
Lynchburg

There are 20 banks under $750MM in assets
operating in our target market area
Many of these companies are struggling to adjust
to the new business and regulatory environment for

partner for the following reasons
Track record of strong fundamental performance
Focus on shareholder value
