VIRGINIA NATIONAL BANKSHARES CORPORATION ANNOUNCES
STOCK AND CASH DIVIDENDS

Charlottesville, VA –Virginia National Bankshares Corporation (the “Company”) (OTCQX: VABK) announced today that on March 16, 2018, its Board of Directors (the “Board”) declared a 5% stock dividend to be paid on April 13, 2018 to shareholders of record as of April 3, 2018. Shareholders will receive cash in lieu of fractional shares. Also on March 16, 2018, the Board declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.19 per share to be paid on April 27, 2018 to shareholders of record as of April 3, 2018. The stock dividend will take effect first, whereby each shareholder will receive 0.05 shares of the Company’s common stock for every share of common stock held as of the record date, and therefore, the cash dividend will be paid on the increased number of shares. The quarterly cash dividend represents an annual yield to shareholders of approximately 1.81% based on the closing price of the Company’s common stock on March 20, 2018.

“We are pleased to announce a stock dividend, effective prior to and supplementing our quarterly cash dividend,” said Glenn Rust, President and Chief Executive Officer. “Our strong capital position allows us to continue to exhibit an ongoing commitment to our shareholders.”

As a result of the Board’s action, the outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock will increase by approximately 121,000 shares, from 2.4 million shares outstanding to 2.5 million shares outstanding.
