REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Stockholders and the Board of Directors
MainStreet Bancshares, Inc.
Fairfax, Virginia
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying consolidated statements of financial condition of MainStreet Bancshares, Inc. and Subsidiary (the Company) as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, the related consolidated statements of income (loss), comprehensive income (loss), stockholders' equity and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2024, and the related notes to the consolidated financial statements (collectively, the financial statements). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2024, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
We have also audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), the Company's internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2024, based on criteria established in Internal Control — Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission in 2013, and our report dated March 14, 2025 expressed an unqualified opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting.
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
Critical Audit Matters
The critical audit matter communicated below is a matter arising from the current period audit of the financial statements that was communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that: (1) relates to accounts or disclosures that are material to the financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of critical audit matters does not alter in any way our opinion on the financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matter below, providing separate opinions on the critical audit matter or on the accounts or disclosures to which it relates.
Allowance for Credit Losses – Loans Collectively Evaluated for Losses
As described in Note 1 – Organization, Basis of Presentation and Impact of Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements and Note 5 – Allowance for Credit Losses in the consolidated financial statements, the Company accounts for its allowance for credit losses on loans (ACLL) in accordance with ASC 326. The ACLL is a valuation allowance that represents management’s best estimate of expected credit losses on loans measured at amortized cost considering available information, from internal and external sources, relevant to assessing collectability over the loans’ contractual terms. Loans which share common risk characteristics are pooled and collectively evaluated by the Company using historical data, as well as assessments of current conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts of future conditions. The Company’s ACLL related to collectively evaluated loans made up the total recorded ACLL of $19.5 million as of December 31, 2024. The collectively evaluated ACLL consists of quantitative and qualitative components.
The quantitative component consists of loss estimates derived from a weighted average remaining maturity (“WARM”) model using external observations of historical loan losses adjusted for estimated attrition and forecasts of future conditions over a reasonable and supportable period. These estimates consider large amounts of data in tabulating loss and attrition rates and require complex calculations as well as management judgment in the selection of appropriate inputs.
In addition to the quantitative component, the collectively evaluated ACLL also includes a qualitative component which aggregates management’s assessment of available information relevant to assessing collectability that is not captured in the quantitative loss estimation process. Factors considered by management in developing its qualitative estimates include: changes in lending policies and procedures; changes in international, national, regional and local economic conditions; changes in the nature and volume of the portfolio and terms of loans; changes in the experience, depth, and ability of lending management; changes in the volume and severity of past due loans, the volume of nonaccrual loans, and the volume and severity of adversely classified loans; changes in the quality of the Company’s loan review system; changes in the value of underlying collateral for collateral-dependent loans; the existence and effect of any concentrations of credit and changes in the level of such concentrations; and the effect of other external factors (i.e. competition, legal and regulatory requirements, etc.) on the level of credit losses.
Management exercised significant judgment when estimating the ACLL on collectively evaluated loans. We identified the estimation of the collectively evaluated ACLL as a critical audit matter as auditing the collectively evaluated ACLL involved especially complex and subjective auditor judgment in evaluating management’s assessment of the inherently subjective estimates.
The primary audit procedures we performed to address this critical audit matter included:
| ● | Substantively testing management’s process for measuring the collectively evaluated ACLL, including: |
| o | Evaluating conceptual soundness, assumptions, and key data inputs of the Company’s WARM methodology, including the identification of loan pools, the calculation of loss rate inputs, and the calculation of attrition rate inputs for each pool. |
| o | Evaluating the methodology and testing the accuracy of incorporating reasonable and supportable forecasts in the collectively evaluated ACLL estimate. |
| o | Evaluating the completeness and accuracy of data inputs used as a basis for the qualitative factors. |
| o | Evaluating the qualitative factors for directional consistency in comparison to prior periods and for reasonableness in comparison to underlying supporting data. |
| o | Testing the mathematical accuracy of the ACLL for collectively evaluated loans including both the quantitative and qualitative components of the calculation. |

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Stockholders and the Board of Directors
MainStreet Bancshares, Inc.
Fairfax, Virginia
Opinion on the Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
We have audited MainStreet Bancshares, Inc. and Subsidiary’s (the Company) internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2024, based on criteria established in Internal Control — Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission in 2013. In our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2024, based on criteria established in Internal Control — Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission in 2013.
We have also audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), the consolidated statements of financial condition as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, the related consolidated statements of income (loss), comprehensive income (loss), stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for the three years ended December 31, 2024, and the related notes to the consolidated financial statements (collectively, the financial statements) of the Company and our report dated March 14, 2025 expressed an unqualified opinion.
Basis for Opinion
The Company’s management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting in the accompanying financial statements. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audit. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. Our audit also included performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
Definition and Limitations of Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
A company's internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company's internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of the company's assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

MainStreet Bank is headquartered in Fairfax, Virginia where it also operates a branch. The Bank was incorporated on March 28, 2003, and received its charter from the Bureau of Financial Institutions of the Commonwealth of Virginia (the “Bureau”) on March 16, 2004. The Bank commenced regular operations on May 26, 2004, and is supervised by the Bureau and the Federal Reserve Bank of Richmond. The Bank is a member of the Federal Reserve System and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. The Bank places special emphasis on serving the needs of individuals, and small and medium-sized businesses and professionals in the Washington, D.C. metropolitan area.
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“US GAAP”).
Investment securities – The Bank’s investment debt securities are classified as either held-to-maturity, available-for-sale, or trading. At December 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Bank held approximately $
Debt securities which are not classified as held-to-maturity or trading are classified as securities available-for-sale (AFS). Debt securities available-for-sale are reported at fair value. Any unrealized gain or loss, net of applicable income taxes, is reported as a separate addition to or reduction from stockholders’ equity. Gains and losses arising from the sale of debt securities available-for-sale are recognized based on the specific identification method on a trade-date basis and included in results of operations. Debt securities held-to-maturity includes securities purchased with the ability and positive intent to hold to maturity. Debt securities are stated at historical cost adjusted for amortization of premiums and accretion of discount, and net of any allowance for credit losses.
Purchase premiums and discounts are amortized using the interest method over the term or first call date of each security.
Allowance for Credit Losses - Held-to-Maturity Securities - The Company measures expected credit losses on held-to-maturity (HTM) securities on an individual basis. Accrued interest receivable on these securities are excluded from the estimate of credit losses. For HTM securities, the Company evaluates the credit risk of its securities on at least a quarterly basis. The primary indicators of credit quality for the Company’s HTM portfolio are security type and credit rating, which is influenced by a number of factors including obligor cash flow, geography, seniority, and others. The Company's HTM securities ACL was immaterial at December 31, 2024.
Loans - The Bank makes commercial and consumer loans to customers. Our recorded investment in loans that management has the intent and ability to hold for the foreseeable future, or until maturity or pay-off, generally are reported at their unpaid principal balances adjusted for charge-offs, unearned discounts, any deferred fees or costs on originated loans, and the allowance for credit losses on loans. Interest on loans is credited to operations based on the principal amount outstanding. Loan fees and origination costs are deferred and the net amount is amortized as an adjustment of the related loan’s yield using the effective interest method. The Bank is amortizing these amounts over the contractual life of the related loans.
A loan’s past due status is based on the contractual due date of the most delinquent payment due. All loans which are 30 or more days past due at the end of the month are reported to the Board of Directors. Commercial loans are generally placed on nonaccrual status when the collection of principal or interest is 90 days or more past due, or earlier, if collection is uncertain based on an evaluation of the net realizable value of the collateral and the financial strength of the borrower. Consumer loans are generally placed on nonaccrual status when the collection of principal or interest is 120 days or more past due, or earlier, if collection is uncertain based on an evaluation of the net realizable value of the collateral and the financial strength of the borrower. Loans greater than 90 days past due may remain on accrual status if management determines it has adequate collateral to cover the principal and interest. For those loans that are carried on nonaccrual status, payments are first applied to principal outstanding. A loan may be returned to accrual status if the borrower has demonstrated a sustained period of repayment performance in accordance with the contractual terms of the loan and there is reasonable assurance the borrower will continue to make payments as agreed. It is Bank policy to charge-off loans whose collectability is sufficiently questionable and can no longer be justified as an asset on the statement of financial condition. To determine if a loan should be charged-off, all possible sources of repayment are analyzed, including: (1) the potential for future cash flow, (2) the value of the Bank’s collateral, and (3) the strength of co-makers or guarantors. All principal and previously accrued interest is charged to the allowance for credit losses. All future payments received on the loan are credited to the allowance for credit losses as a recovery. These policies are applied consistently across our loan portfolio.
The Company designates individually evaluated loans on nonaccrual status as collateral-dependent loans, as well as other loans that management of the Company designates as having differing risk. Collateral-dependent loans are loans for which the repayment is expected to be provided substantially through the operation or sale of the collateral and the borrower is experiencing financial difficulty. These loans do not share common risk characteristics and are not included within the collectively evaluated loans for determining the allowance for credit losses. Under CECL, for collateral-dependent loans, the Company has adopted the practical expedient to measure the allowance for credit losses based on the fair value of collateral. The allowance for credit losses is calculated on an individual loan basis based on the shortfall between the fair value of the loan's collateral, which is adjusted for liquidation costs/discounts, and amortized cost. If the fair value of the collateral exceeds the amortized cost, no allowance is required.
Allowance for Credit Losses
On January 1, 2023, the Company adopted ASU 2016-13 Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments, as amended, which replaces the incurred loss methodology with an expected loss methodology that is referred to as the current expected credit loss (CECL) methodology. The measurement of expected credit losses under the CECL methodology is applicable to financial assets measured at amortized cost, including loan receivables and held-to-maturity debt securities. It also applies to off-balance sheet credit exposures not accounted for as insurance (loan commitments, standby letters of credit, financial guarantees, and other similar instruments) and net investments in leases recognized by the lessor in accordance with Topic 842 on leases. In addition, ASC 326 made changes to the accounting for available-for-sale debt securities. One such changes is to require credit losses to be presented as an allowance rather than as a write-down on available-for-sale debt securities management does not intend to sell or believes that is more likely than not they will be required to sell.
The Company adopted ASC 326 and all the subsequent amendments thereto effective January 1, 2023 using the modified retrospective method for all financial assets measured at amortized cost, and off-balance-sheet credit exposures. Results for reporting periods beginning after January 1, 2023 are presented under ASC 326 while prior periods amounts continue to be reported in accordance with previously applicable GAAP. The Company recorded a net decrease to retained earnings of $
The Company adopted ASC 326 using the prospective transition approach for debt securities for which other-than-temporary impairment had been recognized prior to January 1, 2023. As of December 31, 2022, the Company did not have any other-than-temporarily impaired investment securities. Therefore, upon adoption of ASC 326, the Company determined that an allowance for credit losses on available-for-sale securities was not deemed material.
The following table illustrates the impact of ASC 326.

The Company elected not to measure an allowance for credit losses for accrued interest receivable and instead elected to reverse interest income on loans or securities that are placed on nonaccrual status, which is generally when the instrument is 90 days past due, or earlier if the Company believes the collection of interest is doubtful. The Company has concluded that this policy results in the timely reversal of uncollectible interest.
Allowance for Credit Losses - Loans - The allowance for credit losses on loans is a valuation account that is deducted from the loans' amortized cost basis to present the net amount expected to be collected on the loans. Loans are charged off against the allowance when management believes the uncollectability of a loan balance is confirmed. Expected recoveries do not exceed the aggregate of amounts previously charged-off. Accrued interest receivable is excluded from the estimate of credit losses.
The allowance for credit losses represents management's estimate of lifetime credit losses inherent in the loans as of the balance sheet date. Management estimates the allowance balance using relevant available information, from internal and external sources, relating to past events, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts. Historical credit loss experience provides the basis for the estimation of expected credit losses. Adjustments to historical loss information are made for differences in current loan-specific risk characteristics such as differences in underwriting standards, portfolio mix, delinquency levels, concentrations or term as well as for changes in environmental conditions, such as changes in unemployment rates, property values or vacancy rates, consumer price index and projected federal funds target rate and future unemployment rates.
The allowance for credit losses on loans is measured on a collective (pool) basis when similar risk characteristics exist. The Company has identified the following portfolio segments and measures the allowance for credit losses on loans using the following methods: Portfolio segments are grouped in homogenous pools that mirror the loan pools described in Federal Financial Institutions Examination Council Call Report however we are able to group these pools into the following segments:
| • | Commercial real estate loans carry risks of the client’s ability to repay the loan from the cash flow derived from the underlying real estate. Risks inherent in managing a commercial real estate portfolio relate to sudden or gradual drops in property values as well as changes in the economic climate. Real estate security diminishes risks only to the extent that a market exists for the subject collateral. These risks are attempted to be mitigated by carefully underwriting loans of this type and by following appropriate loan-to-value standards |
| • | Construction and land development loans carry risks that the project will not be finished according to schedule, the project will not be finished according to budget and the value of the collateral may, at any point in time, be less than the principal amount of the loan. Construction loans also bear the risk that the general contractor, who may or may not be a loan customer, may be unable to finish the construction project as planned because of financial pressure unrelated to the project. |
| • | Residential real estate mortgage loans, including equity lines of credit, carry risks associated with the continued creditworthiness of the borrower and the changes in the value of the collateral. |
| • | Commercial and industrial loans carry risks associated with the successful operation of a business or a real estate project, in addition to other risks associated with the ownership of real estate, because the repayment of these loans may be dependent upon the profitability and cash flows of the business or project. In addition, there is risk associated with the value of collateral other than real estate which may depreciate over time and cannot be appraised with as much precision. |
| • | Consumer secured loans (indirect lending) carry risks associated with the continued creditworthiness of the borrower and the value of the collateral (e.g., rapidly depreciating assets such as automobiles). These risks are attempted to be mitigated by following appropriate loan-to-value standards and an experienced management team for this type of portfolio. |
| • | Consumer unsecured loans carry risks associated with the continued credit-worthiness of the borrower. Consumer unsecured loans are more likely to be immediately adversely affected by job loss, divorce, illness or personal bankruptcy. |
For each homogenous loan pool, the Company elected to use the Weighted Average Remaining Life (“WARM”) methodology for calculating historical and future loss reserves. The WARM methodology calculates the average annual historical charge-off rate of a homogenous loan pool and multiplies that rate by the pool's remaining life to estimate the allowance for credit losses. Quantitative assumptions included are below:
Remaining life - For amortizing assets, the remaining life is calculated by taking the contractual life and adjusting it by any expected scheduled payments as well as prepayments. An important assumption in the calculation of remaining life is an “exit event” which would be deemed as the end of life of a loan. Examples of exit events included in our model are: 1). A change in maturity date of 90 days or more and 2). A loan changing its loan pool classification.
Loss Rate - Loss rates are calculated quarterly and aggregated to determine an annual loss rate. Our methodology uses actual Company data utilizing a straight average over the time periods included. Recoveries are netted against charge-offs and loss rates are floored at 0% with no ability to have “negative” loss rates.
Loss Rate Lookback - By utilizing the WARM method, management is also evaluating future economic conditions. Using historical loan portfolio performance data in certain economic conditions, gives us an idea of how to adjust for potential credit exposure in similar future environments. While subject to change at each quarterly meeting, we have elected to make our base case scenario for future economic environments. This evaluation will be subject to change given the circumstances evaluated at each quarter.
Historical Losses - Quantitative loss estimation models have been developed based largely on call report data from 2004 through the current period and the economic conditions during the same time period. Within our historical losses calculation, the Company projects out the loss environment for the subsequent two quarters, based largely on the preceding twelve quarters. After that period, the historical loss percentage reverts back to the lifetime historical mean over a four quarter progression.
Additionally, the allowance for credit losses on loans calculation includes subjective adjustments for qualitative risk factors that are likely to cause estimated credit losses to differ from historical experience. These qualitative adjustments may increase or reduce reserve levels and include adjustments for lending management experience and risk tolerance, loan review and audit results, asset quality and portfolio trends, loan portfolio growth, industry concentrations, trends in underlying collateral, external factors and economic conditions not already captured.
Loans that do not share risk characteristics are evaluated on an individual basis. When management determines that foreclosure is probable and the borrower is experiencing financial difficulty, the expected credit losses are based on the fair value of collateral at the reporting date unadjusted for selling costs as appropriate.
Interest income on loans – Interest on loans is accrued and credited to income on daily balances of the principal amount outstanding. The accrual of interest on loans is discontinued when, in the opinion of management, there is an indication that the borrower may be unable to meet payments as they become due. Upon such discontinuance, all unpaid accrued interest is reversed.
Generally, the Bank will return a loan to accrual status when all delinquent interest and principal becomes current and remains current for six consecutive months under the terms of the loan agreement or the loan is well-secured or in process of collection. Upon returning to accrual status, interest payments applied to the principal balance of a loan while in nonaccrual status are recognized as a yield adjustment over the remaining life.
Computer software development - The Company capitalizes new product development costs incurred for software to be sold from the point at which technological feasibility has been established through the point at which the product is ready for general availability. Software development costs that are capitalized are evaluated annually for impairment and are assigned an estimated economic life based on the type of product, market characteristics, and maturity of the market for that particular product. These costs are amortized on a straight-line basis. All of this amortization expense is included within components of operating income.
During the three months ended December 31, 2024, Management performed the annual impairment assessment and determined that a triggering event had occurred. The resulting calculations indicated that the fair value did not exceed the carrying amount of the Company's computer software intangible which resulted in a determination that the intangible had become fully impaired. The impairment charge of $
Income taxes – The Bank uses an asset and liability approach in financial accounting and reporting for income taxes. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are computed for differences between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities that will result in taxable or deductible amounts in the future. The principal items relate primarily to differences between the allowance for credit losses, deferred loan fees, and accumulated depreciation and amortization. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized. Income tax expense (benefit) is the tax payable or refundable for the period plus or minus the change during the period in deferred tax assets and liabilities.
When tax returns are filed, it is highly certain that some positions taken would be sustained upon examination by the taxing authorities, while others are subject to uncertainty about the merits of the position taken or the amount of the position that would be ultimately sustained. The benefit of a tax position is recognized in the financial statements in the period during which, based on all available evidence, management believes it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained upon examination, including the resolution of appeals or litigation processes, if any. Tax positions taken are not offset or aggregated with other positions. Tax positions that meet the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold are measured as the largest amount of tax benefit that is more than 50% likely of being realized upon settlement with the applicable taxing authority. The portion of the benefits associated with tax positions taken that exceeds the amount measured as described above is reflected as a liability for unrecognized tax benefits in the accompanying balance sheet along with any associated interest and penalties that would be payable to the taxing authorities upon examination. As of December 31, 2024, and December 31, 2023, there were
Interest and penalties associated with unrecognized tax benefits, if any, would be classified as additional income taxes in the statement of income.
Stock compensation plans – Stock compensation accounting guidance (FASB ASC 718, “Compensation – Stock Compensation”) requires that the compensation cost relating to share-based payment transactions be recognized in financial statements. That cost will be measured based on the grant date fair value of the equity or liability instruments issued.
The stock compensation accounting guidance requires that compensation cost for all stock awards be calculated and recognized over the employees’ service period, generally defined as the vesting period. For awards with graded-vesting, compensation cost is recognized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period for the entire award. A Black-Sholes model is used to estimate the fair value of stock options, while the market price of the Company’s common stock at the date of grant is used for restricted stock awards.
Earnings per common share – Earnings per common share has been determined under the provisions of FASB ASC 260, “Earnings Per Share” and has been computed based on the weighted average common shares outstanding during the year ended December 31, (
The only potential dilutive stock of the Bank as defined in FASB ASC 260 would be stock options granted to various directors, officers, and employees of the Bank. There were
Off-balance sheet instruments – In the ordinary course of business, the Bank has entered into off-balance sheet financial instruments consisting of commitments to extend credit, commercial letters of credit, and standby letters of credit. Such financial instruments are recorded in the financial statements when they are funded, or related fees are incurred or received.
Allowance for Credit Losses - Off-Balance Sheet Credit Exposures - The Company estimates expected credit losses over the contractual period in which the Company is exposed to credit risk via a contractual obligation to extend credit, unless that obligation is unconditionally cancellable by the Company. The allowance for credit losses on off-balance sheet credit exposures is adjusted through credit loss expense. The estimate includes consideration of the likelihood that funding will occur and an estimate of expected credit losses on commitments expected to be funded over its estimated life. The Company classified off-balance sheet exposure in similar pools as the funded loan portfolio and determined that qualitative and quantitative risk factors assessed to the funded loan pool are also evident for the unfunded loan pool of similar type, adjusted for likelihood of funding and any other relevant metrics. The allowance for unfunded commitments is identified separately on the Company’s consolidated statement of financial condition.
Use of estimates – The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from the estimates.
The Company’s critical accounting policies relate to (1) the allowance for credit losses, (2) fair value of financial instruments, and (3) derivative financial instruments. These critical accounting policies require the use of estimates, assumptions and judgments which are based on information available as of the date of the financial statements. Accordingly, as this information changes, future financial statements could reflect the use of different estimates, assumptions and judgments. Certain determinations inherently have a greater reliance on the use of estimates, assumptions and judgments and, as such, have a greater possibility of producing results that could be materially different than originally reported. In connection with the determination of the allowances for credit losses on loans, management obtains independent appraisals for significant properties.
Derivative Financial Instruments – The Bank recognizes derivative financial instruments at fair value as either an other asset or other liability in the consolidated statement of financial condition. The Bank’s derivative financial instruments include interest rate swaps with certain qualifying commercial loan customers and dealer counterparties. Because the interest rate swaps with loan customers and dealer counterparties are not designated as hedging instruments, adjustments to reflect unrealized gains and losses resulting from changes in fair value of these instruments are reported as noninterest income or noninterest expense, as applicable. The Bank’s interest rate swaps with loan customers and dealer counterparties are described more fully in Note 19.
Revenue Recognition - Most revenue associated with the Company’s financial instruments, including interest income and gains/losses on investment securities, derivatives and sales of financial instruments are outside the scope of ASC Topic 606. The Company’s services that fall within the scope of ASC Topic 606 are presented within noninterest income and are recognized as revenue. A description of the primary revenue streams accounted for under ASC Topic 606 follows:
Deposit Account Service Charges. The Company earns fees from its deposit customers for overdraft and account maintenance services. Overdraft fees are recognized when the overdraft occurs. Account maintenance fees, which relate primarily to monthly maintenance, are earned over the course of a month, representing the period over which the company satisfies the performance obligation.
Other Service Charges and Fees. The Company earns fees from its customers for transaction-based services. Such services include safe deposit box, ATM, stop payment, wire transfer, mortgage origination and interest rate swap fees. In each case, these service charges and fees are recognized in income at the time or within the same period that the Company’s performance obligation is satisfied.
Interchange Income. The Company earns interchange fees from debit and credit cardholder transactions conducted through various payment networks. Interchange fees from cardholder transactions represent a percentage of the underlying transaction value and are recognized daily, concurrently with the transaction processing services.
Recently Adopted Accounting Developments
On March 29, 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued ASU 2023-02, “Investments—Equity Method and Joint Ventures (Topic 323): Accounting for Investments in Tax Credit Structures Using the Proportional Amortization Method.” These amendments allow entities to account for qualifying tax equity investments using the proportional amortization method regardless of the program giving rise to the related income tax credits, as opposed to only being allowed to apply this method to qualifying tax equity investments in low-income housing tax credit structures as was the case under previous guidance. ASU 2023-02 was effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, including interim periods within those fiscal years. On January 1, 2024, the Company adopted ASU 2023-02 using the modified retrospective approach. The Company transitioned from the equity method of accounting and began applying the proportional amortization method of accounting to its qualifying new markets tax credit investments in addition to its low income housing tax credit partnerships already subject to the proportional amortization method. The cumulative change in accounting principle was approximately $217,000.
In November 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued ASU 2023-07, “Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures." The amendments in this ASU are intended to improve reportable segment disclosure requirements primarily through enhanced disclosure about significant segment expenses. This ASU requires disclosure of significant segment expenses that are regularly provided to the chief operating decision maker (CODM), an amount for other segment items by reportable segment and a description of its composition, all annual disclosures about a reportable segment profit or loss and assets currently required by FASB ASU Topic 280 in interim periods, and the title and position of the CODM and how the CODM uses the reportable measures. Additionally, this ASU requires that at least one of the reportable segment profit and loss measures should be the measure that is most consistent with the measurement principals used in an entity's consolidated financial statements. Lastly, this ASU requires public business entities with a single reportable segment to provide all disclosures required by these amendments in this ASU and all existing segment disclosures in Topic 280. This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted. The amendments should be applied retroactively. On December 31, 2024, the Company adopted ASU 2023-07. Refer to Note 26 for updated disclosures due to the adoption of ASU 2023-07.
Impact of Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
In July 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued ASU 2023-03, “Presentation of Financial Statements (Topic 205), Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income (Topic 220), Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity (Topic 480), Equity (Topic 505), and Compensation—Stock Compensation (Topic 718)”. This ASU amends the FASB Accounting Standards Codification for SEC paragraphs pursuant to SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 120, SEC Staff Announcement at the March 24, 2022 EITF Meeting, and Staff Accounting Bulletin Topic 6.B, Accounting Series Release 280—General Revision of Regulation S-X: Income or Loss Applicable to Common Stock. ASU 2023-03 is effective upon addition to the FASB Codification. The Company does not expect the adoption of ASU 2023-03 to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.
In October 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued ASU 2023-06, “Disclosure Improvements: Codification Amendments in Response to the SEC’s Disclosure Update and Simplification Initiative.” This ASU incorporates certain U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) disclosure requirements into the FASB Accounting Standards Codification. The amendments in the ASU are expected to clarify or improve disclosure and presentation requirements of a variety of Codification Topics, allow users to more easily compare entities subject to the SEC’s existing disclosures with those entities that were not previously subject to the requirements, and align the requirements in the Codification with the SEC’s regulations. For entities subject to the SEC’s existing disclosure requirements and for entities required to file or furnish financial statements with or to the SEC in preparation for the sale of or for purposes of issuing securities that are not subject to contractual restrictions on transfer, the effective date for each amendment will be the date on which the SEC removes that related disclosure from its rules. For all other entities, the amendments will be effective two years later. However, if by June 30, 2027, the SEC has not removed the related disclosure from its regulations, the amendments will be removed from the Codification and not become effective for any entity. The Company does not expect the adoption of ASU 2023-06 to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.
In December 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued ASU 2023-09, “Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures.” The amendments in this ASU require an entity to disclose specific categories in the rate reconciliation and provide additional information for reconciling items that meet a quantitative threshold, which is greater than five percent of the amount computed by multiplying pretax income by the entity’s applicable statutory rate, on an annual basis. Additionally, the amendments in this ASU require an entity to disclose the amount of income taxes paid (net of refunds received) disaggregated by federal, state, and foreign taxes and the amount of income taxes paid (net of refunds received) disaggregated by individual jurisdictions that are equal to or greater than five percent of total income taxes paid (net of refunds received). Lastly, the amendments in this ASU require an entity to disclose income (or loss) from continuing operations before income tax expense (or benefit) disaggregated between domestic and foreign and income tax expense (or benefit) from continuing operations disaggregated by federal, state, and foreign. This ASU is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted. The amendments should be applied on a prospective basis; however, retrospective application is permitted. The Company does not expect the adoption of ASU 2023-09 to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.
In March 2024, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued ASU 2024-01, “Compensation – Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Scope Application of Profits Interest and Similar Awards”. This ASU provides an illustrative example intended to demonstrate how entities that account for profits interest and similar awards would determine whether a profits interest award should be accounted for in accordance with Topic 718. This ASU is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024, and interim periods within those annual periods. Early adoption is permitted. If an entity adopts the amendments in an interim period, it must adopt them as of the beginning of the annual period that includes that interim period. Transition can be done either retrospectively or prospectively. The Company does not expect the adoption of ASU 2024-01 to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.
In March 2024, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued ASU 2024-02, “Codification Improvements – Amendments to Remove References to the Concepts Statements”. This ASU contains amendments to the Codification that remove references to various Concepts Statements. In most instances, the references are extraneous and not required to understand or apply the guidance. In other instances, the references were used in prior Statements to provide guidance in certain topical areas. This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted. The amendments should be applied prospectively to all new transactions recognized on or after the date that the entity first applies the amendments or retrospectively to the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented in which the amendments were first applied. If an entity adopts the amendments retrospectively, it should adjust the opening balance of retained earnings as of the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented. The Company does not expect the adoption of ASU 2024-02 to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.
In November 2024, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued ASU 2024-03, “Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses.” ASU 2024-03 requires public companies to disclose, in the notes to the financial statements, specific information about certain costs and expenses at each interim and annual reporting period. This includes disclosing amounts related to employee compensation, depreciation, and intangible asset amortization. In addition, public companies will need to provide qualitative description of the amounts remaining in relevant expense captions that are not separately disaggregated quantitatively. The FASB subsequently issued ASU 2025-01, “Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Clarifying the Effective Date”, which amends the effective date of ASU 2024-03 to clarify that all public business entities are required to adopt the guidance in ASU 2024-03 in annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027. Early adoption of ASU 2024-03 is permitted. Implementation of ASU 2024-03 may be applied prospectively or retrospectively. The Company does not expect the adoption of ASU 2024-03 to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.
Note 2. Restrictions on Cash
On March 15, 2020, the Federal Reserve reduced reserve requirement ratios to percent effective March 26, 2020. This action eliminated reserve requirements for all depository institutions. Prior to the change, reserve requirement ratios on net transactions accounts differed based on the amount of net transactions accounts at the depository institution.
A certain amount of net transaction accounts, known as the "reserve requirement exemption amount," was subject to a reserve requirement ratio of zero percent. Net transaction account balances above the reserve requirement exemption amount and up to a specified amount, known as the "low reserve tranche," were subject to a reserve requirement ratio of 3 percent. Net transaction account balances above the low reserve tranche were subject to a reserve requirement ratio of

For HTM securities, the Company evaluates the credit risk of its securities on at least a quarterly basis. The Company estimates expected credit losses on HTM debt securities on an individual basis using security-level credit ratings. The Company’s HTM securities ACL was immaterial at December 31, 2024. The primary indicators of credit quality for the Company’s HTM portfolio are security type and credit rating, which is influenced by a number of factors including obligor cash flow, geography, seniority, and others. The majority of the Company’s HTM securities with credit risk are obligations of states and political subdivisions.
The following table presents the amortized cost of HTM securities as of December 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023 by security type and credit rating according to Moody's and Standard and Poor's:

The factors considered in evaluating securities for impairment include whether the Bank intends to sell the security, whether it is more likely than not that the Bank will be required to sell the security before recovery of its amortized cost basis, and whether the Bank expects to recover the security’s entire amortized cost basis. These unrealized losses are primarily attributable to current financial market conditions for these types of investments, particularly changes in interest rates, causing bond prices to decline, and are not attributable to credit deterioration.
At December 31, 2024, there were tax-exempt municipal securities with a fair value of $
All municipal securities originally purchased as available-for-sale were transferred to held-to-maturity during 2013. The unrealized loss on the securities transferred to held-to-maturity is being amortized over the expected life of the securities. The unamortized, unrealized loss, before tax, at December 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023 was respectively.
For held-to-maturity securities, an allowance for credit losses is required to absorb estimated lifetime credit losses. The Company has assessed the risk of credit loss and has determined that
The Company periodically invests in New Market Tax Credit (NMTC) opportunities, related primarily to certain community development projects. The Company receives tax credits related to these investments, for which the Company typically acts as a limited partner and therefore does not exert control over the operating or financial policies of the partnerships. These tax credits are subject to recapture by taxing authorities based on compliance features required to be met at the project level. On January 1, 2024, the Company transitioned from the equity method of accounting and began applying the proportional amortization method of accounting to its qualifying new markets tax credit investments in addition to its low income housing tax credit partnerships already subject to the proportional amortization method. At December 31, 2024 and 2023, the balance of the investments in new market tax credits was $

The Company maintains a general allowance for credit losses based on evaluating known and inherent risks in the loan portfolio, including management’s continuing analysis of the factors underlying the quality of the loan portfolio. These factors include changes in the size and composition of the loan portfolio, actual loan loss experience, and current and anticipated economic conditions. The reserve is an estimate based upon factors and trends identified by management at the time the financial statements are prepared.

The Company has certain loans for which repayment is dependent upon the operation or sale of collateral, as the borrower is experiencing financial difficulty. The underlying collateral can vary based upon the type of loan. The following provides more detail about the types of collateral that secure collateral-dependent loans:
| • | Commercial real estate loans can be secured by either owner-occupied commercial real estate or non-owner-occupied investment commercial real estate. Typically, owner-occupied commercial real estate loans are secured by office buildings, warehouses, manufacturing facilities and other commercial and industrial properties occupied by operating companies. Non-owner-occupied commercial real estate loans are generally secured by office buildings and complexes, retail facilities, multifamily complexes, land under development, industrial properties, as well as other commercial or industrial real estate where our borrower is the lessor. |
| • | Residential real estate mortgage loans, including equity lines of credit, are typically secured by first mortgages, and in some cases could be secured by a second mortgage. |
| • | Home equity lines of credit are generally secured by second mortgages on residential real estate property. |
| • | Consumer loans are generally secured by automobiles, motorcycles, recreational vehicles and other personal property. Some consumer loans are unsecured and have no underlying collateral. |
| • | Construction and land development loans are secured by real property where loan funds will be used to acquire land and to construct or improve appropriately zoned real property for the creation of income producing or owner-user commercial properties. |

The allowance for credit losses incorporates an estimate of lifetime expected credit losses and is recorded on each asset upon asset origination or acquisition. The starting point for the estimate of the allowance for credit losses is historical loss information, which includes losses from modifications of receivables to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty. The Company uses a weighted average remaining life model to determine the allowance for credit losses. An assessment of whether a borrower is experiencing financial difficulty is made on the date of a modification.
Because the effect of most modifications made to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty is already included in the allowance for credit losses because of the measurement methodologies used to estimate the allowance, a change to the allowance for credit losses is generally not recorded upon modification. Occasionally, the Company modifies loans by providing principal forgiveness on certain loans. When principal forgiveness is provided, the amount of the principal forgiveness is deemed to be uncollectible; therefore, that portion of the loan is written off, resulting in a reduction of the amortized cost basis and a corresponding adjustment to the allowance for credit losses.
In some cases, the Company will modify a certain loan by providing multiple types of concessions. Typically, one type of concession, such as a term extension, is granted initially. If the borrower continues to experience financial difficulty, another concession, such as principal forgiveness, may be granted.
The following table shows the amortized cost basis as of December 31, 2024 of the loans modified to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty, disaggregated by class of loans and type of concession granted and describes the financial effect of the modifications made to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty during the twelve-month period ended December 31, 2024:

The Company monitors loan payments on performing and non-performing loans on an ongoing basis to determine if a loan is considered to have a payment default.

The Company categorizes loans into risk categories based on relevant information about the ability of borrowers to service their debt such as: current financial information, historical payment experience, credit documentation, public information, and current economic trends, among other factors. Credit quality risk ratings include regulatory classifications of Pass, Watch, Criticized (Special Mention), Classified (Substandard), Doubtful, and Loss. Loans classified as Pass have quality metrics to support that the loan will be repaid according to the terms established. Loans classified as Watch have similar characteristics as Pass loans with some emerging signs of financial weaknesses that should be monitored closer. Loans classified as Watch are included in the Pass totals in the following tables. Loans classified as Criticized (Special Mention) have potential weaknesses that deserve management’s close attention. If uncorrected, the potential weaknesses may result in deterioration of prospects for repayment. Loans classified as Classified (Substandard) have a well-defined weakness or weaknesses that jeopardize the liquidation of the debt. They include loans that are inadequately protected by the current net worth and paying capacity of the obligor or of the collateral pledged, if any. Loans classified Doubtful have all the weaknesses inherent in loans classified Substandard with the added characteristic that collection or liquidation in full, on the basis of current conditions and facts, is highly improbable. Loans classified as a Loss are considered uncollectible and are charged to the allowance for loan losses. Loans not classified are rated Pass.

The Company maintains an allowance for off-balance sheet credit exposures such as unfunded balances for existing lines of credit, commitments to extend future credit, as well as both standby and commercial letters of credit when there is a contractual obligation to extend credit and when this extension of credit is not unconditionally cancellable (i.e., the commitment cannot be canceled at any time). The allowance for off-balance sheet credit exposures is adjusted as a provision for credit loss expense. The estimate includes consideration of the likelihood that funding will occur, which is based on a historical funding study derived from internal information, and an estimate of expected credit losses on commitments expected to be funded over its estimated life, which are the same loss rates that are used in computing the allowance for credit losses on loans, and are discussed in Note 1. The allowance for credit losses for unfunded loan commitments of $
The following table presents the balance and activity in the allowance for credit losses for unfunded loan commitments for the year ended December 31, 2024 and 2023. The decline in the balance of the allowance for credit losses for unfunded loan commitments during the year ended December 31, 2024, was due to the decline in the balance of unfunded commitments.

Note 12. Earnings Per Common Share
Basic earnings per share excludes dilution and is computed by dividing net income available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings per share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock or resulted in the issuance of common stock which then shared in the earnings of the Bank. There were
The weighted average number of shares used in the calculation of basic and diluted earnings per share includes unvested restricted shares of the Company’s common stock outstanding. Applicable guidance requires that outstanding unvested share-based payment awards that contain voting rights and rights to non-forfeitable dividends participate in undistributed earnings with common stockholders.

Note 13. Commitments and Contingencies
The Bank’s financial statements do not reflect various commitments and contingent liabilities which arise in the normal course of business and which involve elements of credit risk, interest risk and liquidity risk. These commitments and contingent liabilities are commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit.
The amounts of loan commitments and standby letters of credit are set forth in the following table as of December 31, 2024 and 2023:

| Standby letters of credit | $ | $ | ||||||
Commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit all include exposure to some credit loss in the event of nonperformance of the customer. The Bank’s credit policies and procedures for credit commitments and financial guarantees are the same as those for extensions of credit that are recorded on the statements of financial condition. Because these instruments have fixed maturity dates, and because many of them expire without being drawn upon, they do not generally present any significant liquidity risk to the Bank. The Bank has not incurred any losses on commitments in 2024, 2023, or 2022.

Note 14. Leases
Lessee Arrangements - The right-of-use assets and lease liabilities are included in other assets and other liabilities, respectively, in the Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition.
Lease liabilities represent the Company’s obligation to make lease payments and are presented at each reporting date as the net present value of the remaining contractual cash flows. Cash flows are discounted at the Company’s incremental borrowing rate in effect at the commencement date of the lease. The incremental borrowing rate was equal to the rate of borrowing from the FHLB that aligned with the term of the lease contract. Right-of-use assets represent the Company’s right to use the underlying asset for the lease term and are calculated as the sum of the lease liability and if applicable, prepaid rent, initial direct costs and any incentives received from the lessor.
The Company’s long-term lease agreements are classified as operating leases. Certain of these leases offer the option to extend the lease term and the Company has included such extensions in its calculation of the lease liabilities to the extent the options are reasonably assured of being exercised. The lease agreements do not provide for residual value guarantees and have no restrictions or covenants that would impact dividends or require incurring additional financial obligations.

Lessor Arrangements - The Company is the lessor for operating leases. One lease is extended on a month-to-month basis while four of these leases have arrangements for over twelve months with an option to extend the lease terms. The lease agreements do not provide for residual value guarantees and have no restrictions or covenants that would impact dividends or require incurring additional financial obligations. The Company's leases generally do not contain non-lease components. Total rent income on these operating leases is approximately $

Note 16. Regulatory Matters
Information presented for December 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, reflects the Basel III capital requirements that became effective January 1, 2015 for the Bank. Under these capital requirements and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, the Bank must meet specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of the Bank’s assets, liabilities and certain off-balance-sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting practices. The Bank’s capital amounts and classifications are also subject to qualitative judgments by regulators about components, risk- weightings and other factors.
The Basel III Capital Rules, a comprehensive capital framework for U.S. banking organizations, became effective for the Bank on January 1, 2015 (subject to a phase-in period for certain provisions). Under the Basel III rules, the Bank must hold a capital conservation buffer above the adequately capitalized risk-based capital ratios. The capital conservation buffer for 2023 and 2024 is

Note 19. Derivatives and Risk Management Activities
The Bank uses derivative financial instruments (or “derivatives”) primarily to assist customers with their risk management objectives. The Bank classifies these items as free standing derivatives consisting of customer accommodation interest rate loan swaps (or “interest rate loan swaps”). The Bank enters into interest rate swaps with certain qualifying commercial loan customers to meet their interest rate risk management needs. The Bank simultaneously enters into interest rate swaps with dealer counterparties, with identical notional amounts and terms. The net result of these interest rate swaps is that the customer pays a fixed rate of interest and the Bank receives a floating rate. These back-to-back interest rate loan swaps qualify as financial derivatives with fair values reported in “Other assets” and “Other liabilities” in the consolidated financial statements. Changes in fair value are recorded in other noninterest expense and net to zero because of the identical amounts and terms of the interest rate loan swaps.
The following tables summarize key elements of the Banks’s derivative instruments as of December 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023.

Note 20. Fair Value Presentation
In accordance with FASB ASC 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosure”, the Bank uses fair value measurements to record fair value adjustments to certain assets and liabilities and to determine fair value disclosures. The fair value of a financial instrument is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability (“an exit price”) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Fair value is best determined based upon quoted market prices. However, in many instances, there are no quoted market prices for the Bank’s various financial instruments. In cases where quoted market prices are not available, fair values are based on estimates using present value or other valuation techniques. Those techniques are significantly affected by the assumptions used, including the discount rate and estimates of future cash flows. Accordingly, the fair value estimates may not be realized in an immediate settlement of the instrument.
The fair value guidance provides a consistent definition of fair value, which focuses on exit price in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction (that is, not a forced liquidation or distressed sale) between market participants at the measurement date under current market conditions. If there has been a significant decrease in the volume and level of activity for the asset or liability, a change in valuation technique or the use of multiple valuation techniques may be appropriate. In such instances, determining the price at which willing market participants would transact at the measurement date under current market conditions depends on the facts and circumstances and requires the use of significant judgment. The fair value is a reasonable point within the range that is the most representative of fair value under current market conditions.
In accordance with the guidance, a hierarchy of valuation techniques is based on whether the inputs to those valuation techniques are observable or unobservable. Observable inputs reflect market data obtained from independent sources, while unobservable inputs reflect the Bank’s market assumptions. The three levels of the fair value hierarchy under FASB ASC 820 based on these two types of inputs are as follows:
Level 1 –Valuation is based on quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities that the reporting entity has the ability to access at the measurement date.
Level 2 –Valuation is based on observable inputs including quoted prices in active markets for similar assets and liabilities, quoted prices for identical or similar assets and liabilities in less active markets, and model-based valuation techniques for which significant assumptions can be derived primarily from or corroborated by observable data in the market.
Level 3 –Valuation is based on model-based techniques that use one or more significant inputs or assumptions that are unobservable in the market.
The following describes the valuation techniques used by the Bank to measure certain financial assets and liabilities recorded at fair value on a recurring basis in the financial statements:
Securities available for sale
Securities available for sale are recorded at fair value on a recurring basis. Fair value measurement is based upon quoted market prices, when available (Level 1). If quoted market prices are not available, fair values are measured utilizing independent valuation techniques of identical or similar securities for which significant assumptions are derived primarily from or corroborated by observable market data. Third party vendors compile prices from various sources and may determine the fair value of identical or similar securities by using pricing models that consider observable market data (Level 2). In certain cases where there is limited activity or less transparency around inputs to the valuation, securities are classified within Level 3 of the valuation hierarchy. As of December 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Bank’s entire portfolio of available for sale securities are considered to be Level 2 securities, with the exception of one subordinated debt security and one preferred stock security, which are considered to be level 3 securities.
Derivative asset (liability) – interest rate swaps on loans
As discussed in “Note 19: Derivatives and Risk Management Activities”, the Bank recognizes interest rate swaps at fair value on a recurring basis. The Bank has contracted with a third party vendor to provide valuations for these interest rate swaps using standard valuation techniques and therefore classifies such interest rate swaps as Level 2.
The following tables provide the fair value for assets required to be measured and reported at fair value on a recurring basis as of December 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023:

Certain assets are measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis in accordance with GAAP. Adjustments to the fair value of these assets usually result from the application of lower-of-cost-or-market accounting or write-downs of individual assets.
The following describes the valuation techniques used by the Bank to measure certain assets recorded at fair value on a nonrecurring basis in the financial statements:
Individually evaluated
Loans are individually evaluated when, in the judgment of management based on current information and events, it is probable that all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement will not be collected when due. The measurement of loss associated with individually evaluated loans can be based on either the observable market price of the loan or the fair value of the collateral. Collateral may be in the form of real estate or business assets including equipment, inventory, and accounts receivable. The vast majority of the collateral is real estate. The value of real estate collateral is determined utilizing an income or market valuation approach based on an appraisal conducted by an independent, licensed appraiser outside of the Bank using observable market data (Level 2). However, if the collateral value is significantly adjusted due to differences in the comparable properties, or is discounted by the Bank because of marketability, then the fair value is considered Level 3. The value of business equipment is based upon an outside appraisal if deemed significant, or the net book value on the applicable business’ financial statements if not considered significant. Likewise, values for inventory and accounts receivables collateral are based on financial statement balances or aging reports (Level 3). Individually evaluated loans allocated to the Allowance for Credit Losses are measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis. Any fair value adjustments are recorded in the period incurred as provision for credit losses on the Consolidated Statements of Income.
Other real estate owned
Other real estate owned (“OREO”) is measured at fair value less cost to sell, based on an appraisal conducted by an independent, licensed appraiser outside of the Bank. If the collateral value is significantly adjusted due to differences in the comparable properties, or is discounted by the Bank because of marketability, then the fair value is considered Level 3. OREO is measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis. Any initial fair value adjustment is charged against the Allowance for Credit Losses. Subsequent fair value adjustments are recorded in the period incurred and included in other non-interest expense on the Consolidated Statements of Income.
The Bank did have any other real estate owned assets or individually evaluated loans measured at fair value as of December 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
FASB ASC 825, Financial Instruments, requires disclosure about fair value of financial instruments, including those financial assets and financial liabilities that are not required to be measured and reported at fair value on a recurring or nonrecurring basis. ASC 825 excludes certain financial instruments and all nonfinancial instruments from its disclosure requirements. Accordingly, the aggregate fair value amounts presented may not necessarily represent the underlying fair value of the Company. Additionally, in accordance with ASU 2016-01, the Company uses the exit price notion, rather than the entry price notion, in calculating the fair values of financial instruments not measured at fair value on a recurring basis.
The following tables reflect the carrying amounts and estimated fair values of the Company’s financial instruments whether or not recognized on the Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition at fair value.

Fair value estimates are made at a specific point in time, based on relevant market information and information about the financial instrument. These estimates do not reflect any premium or discount that could result from offering for sale at one time the Bank’s entire holdings of a particular financial instrument. Because no market exists for a significant portion of the Bank’s financial instruments, fair value estimates are based on judgments regarding future expected loss experience, current economic conditions, risk characteristics of various financial instruments and other factors. These estimates are subjective in nature and involve uncertainties and matters of significant judgment, and therefore, cannot be determined with precision. Changes in assumptions could significantly affect the estimates.
Fair value estimates are based on existing on-balance sheet and off-balance sheet financial instruments without attempting to estimate the value of anticipated future business and the value of assets and liabilities that are not considered financial instruments. Significant assets that are not considered financial assets include deferred income taxes and bank premises and equipment. In addition, the tax ramifications related to the realization of the unrealized gains and losses can have a significant effect on fair value estimates and have not been considered in the estimates.
The above information should not be interpreted as an estimate of the fair value of the entire Company since a fair value calculation is only provided for a limited portion of the Company’s assets and liabilities. Due to a wide range of valuation techniques and the degree of subjectivity used in making the estimates, comparisons between the Company’s disclosures and those of other companies may not be meaningful. There were no changes in methodologies or transfers between levels at December 31, 2024 from December 31, 2023.

Item 9A. Controls and Procedures
Disclosure Controls and Procedures. Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”)) as of December 31, 2024. Based on their evaluation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission rules and regulations are designed and operating in an effective manner.
Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting. Management of the Company is also responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a‑15(f) under the Exchange Act). Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation.
Management, including the Company’s principal executive and principal financial officer, assessed the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2024. In making this assessment, management used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) in Internal Control – Integrated Framework (2013). Based on our assessment, we believe that, as of December 31, 2024, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting was effective based on those criteria.
The effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2024 has been audited by Yount, Hyde & Barbour, P.C. (YHB), the independent registered public accounting firm that also audited the Company’s consolidated financial statements included in this 10-K/A. YHB's attestation report on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting is included in this amendment to Form 10-K/A.
The 2024 consolidated financial statements have been audited by the independent registered public accounting firm of Yount, Hyde, & Barbour. P.C. Personnel from YHB were given unrestricted access to all financial records and related data, including minutes of all meetings of the Board of Directors and Committees thereof. Management believes that all representation made to the independent auditors were valid and appropriate. The resulting report from YHB accompanies the consolidated financial statements.
Changes in Internal Controls. There were no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting during the Company’s fourth quarter ended December 31, 2024 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

(3) The Corporation may authorize and issue additional shares of Series A Junior Securities and Series A Parity Securities without the consent of the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock.
D. Dividends.
(1) Holders of Series A Preferred Stock will be entitled to receive, when, as and if declared by the Board of Directors, out of assets legally available for the payment of dividends under Virginia law, non-cumulative cash dividends based on the liquidation preference of the Series A Preferred Stock at a rate equal to 7.50% per annum for each Series A Dividend Period from the original issue date of the Series A Preferred Stock to, and including, the redemption date of the Series A Preferred Stock, if any. If the Corporation issues additional shares of the Series A Preferred Stock after the original issue date, dividends on such shares will accrue from the date such additional shares are issued.
(2) If declared by the Board of Directors, dividends will be payable on the Series A Preferred Stock (each such date, a “Series A Dividend Payment Date”) quarterly in arrears, on March 30, June 30, September 30 and December 30 of each year, beginning on December 30, 2020.

(3) Dividends will be payable to holders of record of Series A Preferred Stock as they appear on the Corporation’s books on the applicable record date, which shall be the 15th calendar day before the applicable Series A Dividend Payment Date, or such other record date, no earlier than 30 calendar days before the applicable Series A Dividend Payment Date, as shall be fixed by the Board of Directors.
(4) Dividends payable on Series A Preferred Stock will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months. Dollar amounts resulting from that calculation will be rounded to the nearest cent, with one-half cent being rounded upwards. Dividends on the Series A Preferred Stock will cease to accrue on the redemption date, if any, unless the Corporation defaults in the payment of the redemption price of the Series A Preferred Stock called for redemption.
(5) Dividends on the Series A Preferred Stock will not be cumulative. If the Board of Directors does not declare a dividend on the Series A Preferred Stock in respect of a Series A Dividend Period, then no dividend shall be deemed to have accrued for such dividend period, be payable on the applicable Series A Dividend Payment Date or be cumulative, and the Corporation will have no obligation to pay any dividend for that Series A Dividend Period, whether or not the Board of Directors declares a dividend for any subsequent Series A Dividend Period with respect to the Series A Preferred Stock.
(6) So long as any share of Series A Preferred Stock remains outstanding:
(a) no dividend shall be declared or paid or set aside for payment, and no distribution shall be declared or made or set aside for payment, on any Series A Junior Securities, other than (i) a dividend payable solely in Series A Junior Securities or (ii) any dividend in connection with the implementation of a shareholders’ rights plan, or the redemption or repurchase of any rights under any such plan;
(b) no shares of Series A Junior Securities shall be repurchased, redeemed or otherwise acquired for consideration by the Corporation, directly or indirectly (other than (i) as a result of a reclassification of Series A Junior Securities for or into other Series A Junior Securities, (ii) the exchange or conversion of one share of Series A Junior Securities for or into another share of Series A Junior Securities, (iii) through the use of the proceeds of a substantially contemporaneous sale of other shares of Series A Junior Securities, (iv) purchases, redemptions or other acquisitions of shares of Series A Junior Securities in connection with any employment contract, benefit plan or other similar arrangement with or for the benefit of employees, officers, directors or consultants, (v) purchases of shares of Series A Junior Securities pursuant to a contractually binding requirement to buy Series A Junior Securities existing prior to the preceding Series A Dividend Period, including under a contractually binding stock repurchase plan, (vi) the purchase of fractional interests in shares of Series A Junior Securities pursuant to the conversion or exchange provisions of such stock or the security being converted or exchanged, or (vii) the acquisition by the Corporation or any of the Corporation’s subsidiaries of record ownership in Series A Junior Securities for the beneficial ownership of any other persons (other than for the beneficial ownership by the Corporation or any of the Corporation’s subsidiaries), including as trustees or custodians), nor shall any monies be paid to or made available for a sinking fund for the redemption of any Series A Junior Securities by the Corporation; and
(c) no shares of Series A Parity Securities shall be repurchased, redeemed or otherwise acquired for consideration by the Corporation, directly or indirectly (other than (i) pursuant to pro rata offers to purchase all, or a pro rata portion, of the Series A Preferred Stock and such Series A Parity Securities, if any, (ii) as a result of a reclassification of Series A Parity Securities for or into other Series A Parity Securities, (iii) the exchange or conversion of Series A Parity Securities for or into other Series A Parity Securities or Series A Junior Securities, (iv) through the use of the proceeds of a substantially contemporaneous sale of other shares of Series A Parity Securities, (v) purchases of shares of Series A Parity Securities pursuant to a contractually binding requirement to buy Series A Parity Securities existing prior to the preceding Series A Dividend Period, including under a contractually binding stock repurchase plan, (vi) the purchase of fractional interests in shares of Series A Parity Securities pursuant to the conversion or exchange provisions of such stock or the security being converted or exchanged, or (vii) the acquisition by the Corporation or any of the Corporation’s subsidiaries of record ownership in Series A Parity Securities for the beneficial ownership of any other persons (other than for the beneficial ownership by the Corporation or any of the Corporation’s subsidiaries), including as trustees or custodians), nor shall any monies be paid to or made available for a sinking fund for the redemption of any Series A Parity Securities by the Corporation;
unless, in each case, the full dividends for the preceding Series A Dividend Period on all outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock have been paid in full or declared and a sum sufficient for the payment thereof has been set aside for payment.
(7) The Corporation will not declare or pay or set apart funds for the payment of dividends on any Series A Parity Securities unless the Corporation has paid or set apart funds for the payment of dividends on the Series A Preferred Stock. When dividends are not paid in full upon the shares of Series A Preferred Stock and any Series A Parity Securities, all dividends declared upon shares of Series A Preferred Stock and any Series A Parity Securities will be declared on a proportional basis so that the amount of dividends declared per share will bear to each other the same ratio that accrued dividends for the Series A Preferred Stock, and accrued dividends, including any accumulations, on any Series A Parity Securities, bear to each other for the then-current Series A Dividend Period.
(8) Subject to the foregoing, and not otherwise, dividends (payable in cash, stock or otherwise), as may be determined by the Board of Directors, may be declared and paid on the Common Stock and any other class of any Series A Junior Securities or Series A Parity Securities from time to time out of any assets legally available for such payment, and the holders of Series A Preferred Stock shall not be entitled to participate in any such dividend.
(9) Dividends on the Series A Preferred Stock will not be declared, paid or set aside for payment to the extent such act would cause the Corporation to fail to comply with applicable laws and regulations, including applicable capital adequacy rules.
E. Liquidation.
(1) Upon any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, holders of Series A Preferred Stock are entitled to receive out of assets of the Corporation available for distribution to stockholders, after satisfaction of liabilities to creditors and subject to the rights of holders of any securities ranking senior to the Series A Preferred Stock, before any distribution of assets is made to holders of Common Stock or any Series A Junior Securities, a liquidating distribution in the amount of the liquidation preference of $1,000 per share plus any declared and unpaid dividends, without accumulation of any undeclared dividends. Holders of Series A Preferred Stock will not be entitled to any other amounts from the Corporation after they have received their full liquidating distribution.
(2) In any such distribution, if the assets of the Corporation are not sufficient to pay the liquidation preferences plus declared and unpaid dividends in full to all holders of Series A Preferred Stock and all holders of any Series A Parity Securities, the amounts paid to the holders of Series A Preferred Stock and to the holders of all Series A Parity Securities will be paid pro rata in accordance with the respective aggregate liquidating distribution owed to those holders. If the liquidation preference plus declared and unpaid dividends has been paid in full to all holders of Series A Preferred Stock and any Series A Parity Securities, the holders of the Corporation’s Series A Junior Securities shall be entitled to receive all remaining assets of the Corporation according to their respective rights and preferences.
(3) For purposes of this Section E, the merger or consolidation of the Corporation with any other entity, including a merger or consolidation in which the holders of Series A Preferred Stock receive cash, securities or property for their shares, or the sale, lease or exchange of all or substantially all of the assets of the Corporation for cash, securities or other property, shall not constitute a liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation.
F. Redemption.
(1) The Series A Preferred Stock is not subject to any mandatory redemption, sinking fund or other similar provisions. The Series A Preferred Stock is not redeemable prior to September 30, 2025. On and after that date, Series A Preferred Stock will be redeemable at the option of the Corporation, in whole or in part, on any Series A Dividend Payment Date, at a redemption price equal to $1,000 per share, plus any declared and unpaid dividends on the shares of Series A Preferred Stock called for redemption up to the redemption date. Holders of Series A Preferred Stock will have no right to require the redemption or repurchase of the Series A Preferred Stock. Notwithstanding the foregoing, within 90 days following the occurrence of a Regulatory Capital Treatment Event, the Corporation, at its option, may redeem, at any time, all (but not less than all) of the shares of the Series A Preferred Stock at the time outstanding, at a redemption price equal to $1,000 per share, plus any declared and unpaid dividends on the shares of Series A Preferred Stock called for redemption up to the redemption date, upon notice given as provided in Subsection (2) below.
(2) If shares of Series A Preferred Stock are to be redeemed, the notice of redemption shall be sent to the holders of record of Series A Preferred Stock to be redeemed, not less than 30 days nor more than 60 days prior to the date fixed for redemption thereof (provided that, if any depositary shares representing Series A Preferred Stock are held in book-entry form through DTC, the Corporation may give such notice in any manner permitted by DTC). Each notice of redemption will include a statement setting forth: (i) the redemption date; (ii) the number of shares of Series A Preferred Stock to be redeemed and, if fewer than all the shares held by the holder are to be redeemed, the number of such shares to be redeemed from such holder; (iii) the redemption price; (iv) the place or places where the certificates evidencing shares of Series A Preferred Stock, if applicable, are to be surrendered for payment of the redemption price; and (v) that dividends on the shares of Series A Preferred Stock to be redeemed will cease to accrue on the redemption date. Upon the redemption date, dividends will cease to accrue on shares of the Series A Preferred Stock, and such shares of Series A Preferred Stock shall no longer be deemed outstanding and all rights of the holders of such shares will terminate, including rights described under Section G, except the right to receive the redemption price plus any declared and unpaid dividends on the shares of Series A Preferred Stock called for redemption up to the redemption date.
(3) In case of any redemption of only part of the shares of Series A Preferred Stock at the time outstanding, the shares to be redeemed shall be selected pro rata or by lot (provided that, if any depositary shares representing Series A Preferred Stock are held in book-entry form through DTC, the shares may be selected in any manner permitted by DTC).
(4) Any redemption of the Series A Preferred Stock is subject to receipt by the Corporation of any required prior approval by the Federal Reserve Board and to the satisfaction of any conditions applicable to redemption of the Series A Preferred Stock set forth in the capital adequacy rules of the Federal Reserve Board (or, as and if applicable, the capital adequacy rules of any successor federal banking regulator or agency).
G. Voting Rights.
(1) Except as provided below or as expressly required by law, the holders of shares of Series A Preferred Stock shall have no voting power, and no right to vote on any matter at any time, either as a separate series or class or together with any other series or class of shares of capital stock, and shall not be entitled to call a meeting of such holders for any purpose, nor shall they be entitled to participate in any meeting of the holders of the Common Stock.
(2) So long as any shares of Series A Preferred Stock remain outstanding, the affirmative vote or consent of the holders of at least two-thirds of all of the shares of Series A Preferred Stock at the time outstanding, voting separately as a class, shall be required to: (i) authorize or increase the authorized amount of, or issue shares of, any class or series of stock ranking senior to the Series A Preferred Stock with respect to payment of dividends or the distribution of assets upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, or issue any obligation or security convertible into or evidencing the right to purchase, any class or series of stock ranking senior to Series A Preferred Stock with respect to payment of dividends or the distribution of assets upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation; (ii) amend the provisions of the Corporation’s amended and restated articles of incorporation, as amended, so as to adversely affect the powers, preferences, privileges or rights of the Series A Preferred Stock, taken as a whole, provided, however, that any increase in the amount of the authorized or issued shares of Series A Preferred Stock or authorized Common Stock or Preferred Stock or the creation and issuance, or an increase in the authorized or issued amount, of other series of Preferred Stock ranking equally with or junior to Series A Preferred Stock with respect to the payment of dividends or the distribution of assets upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation will not be deemed to adversely affect the powers, preferences, privileges or rights of Series A Preferred Stock; and (iii) consummate a binding share-exchange or reclassification involving the Series A Preferred Stock, or a merger or consolidation of the Corporation with or into another entity unless the shares of the Series A Preferred Stock remain outstanding or are converted into or exchanged for preferred securities of the surviving entity and the shares of the remaining Series A Preferred Stock or the new preferred securities of the surviving entity have terms that are not materially less favorable than the Series A Preferred Stock. The foregoing voting provisions will not apply if, at or prior to the time when the act with respect to which such vote would otherwise be required shall be effected, all outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock shall have been redeemed.
(3) If the Corporation fails to pay, or to declare and set apart for payment, dividends on outstanding shares of the Series A Preferred Stock for six quarterly dividend periods, whether or not consecutive (a “Nonpayment”), the number of members of the Board of Directors shall be increased by two directors and the holders of outstanding shares of the Series A Preferred Stock, voting as a single class with holders of shares of any equally ranked series of Preferred Stock for which dividends have not been paid and upon which voting rights have been conferred and are exercisable (“Voting Parity Stock”), shall be entitled to vote for the election of two additional members of the Board of Directors as set forth below. At any time after such voting power has vested, the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock shall have the right, voting as a single class together with the holders of Voting Parity Stock, to elect such two additional directors at a special meeting called by the Chief Executive Officer of the Corporation or by a majority of the Board of Directors upon the written request of the holders of record of at least 20% of the outstanding shares of the Series A Preferred Stock or any series of Voting Parity Stock (unless such request is received by the Corporation less than 90 days before the date publicly announced for the Corporation’s next annual meeting or fixed for a special meeting of shareholders, in which event such election shall be held at such next annual or special meeting of shareholders), with each series having a number of votes proportionate to the aggregate liquidation preferences of the outstanding shares of such series; provided that (i) the Board of Directors shall at no time include more than two additional directors elected by holders of Series A Preferred Stock and holders of any series of Voting Parity Stock, voting together as one class, and (ii) any such election of directors would not cause the Corporation to violate the applicable corporate governance requirements of the Nasdaq Capital Market (or any other exchange on which the Corporation’s securities may be listed) regarding the independence of directors or other similar requirements. Notice for any such special meeting will be given in a similar manner to that provided in the Bylaws for a special meeting of shareholders of the Corporation, which the Corporation will provide upon request.
(4) The two additional directors elected in accordance with Section G(3) shall hold office until the next annual meeting of shareholders of the Corporation, unless their term has been previously terminated pursuant to Section G(5). At each subsequent annual meeting of shareholders until continuous noncumulative dividends shall have been paid in full on all outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock entitled thereto for a period of one year following a Nonpayment, the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock shall have the right, voting as a single class together with the holders of any series of Voting Parity Stock, with each series having a number of votes proportionate to the aggregate liquidation preference of the outstanding shares of such class, to elect two directors, each to hold office for a term of one year. In case any vacancy occurs among such two directors, a successor will be elected by the Board of Directors to serve until the next annual meeting of shareholders and until his or her successor is duly elected and qualified upon the nomination by the remaining director or, if none remains in office, by the vote of the holders of record of the outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock and any series of Voting Parity Stock, voting as a single class, with each series having a number of votes proportionate to the aggregate liquidation preference of the outstanding shares of such class. Each of the two additional directors shall each be entitled to one vote per director on any matter.
(5) Upon payment in full of continuous noncumulative dividends on the Series A Preferred Stock for a period of one year following a Nonpayment, the terms of the two additional directors elected in accordance with this Section G shall forthwith terminate, the number of directors shall be reduced by two, and such voting rights of the holders of shares of Series A Preferred Stock shall cease, subject to an increase in the number of directors and to revesting of such voting rights in the event of any future Nonpayment. In addition, if and when the rights of holders of Series A Preferred Stock terminate for any reason, including under circumstances described above under Section F, such voting rights shall terminate along with the other rights (except, if applicable, the right to receive the redemption price plus any declared and unpaid dividends as provided for in Section F), and the terms of any additional directors elected by the holders of Series A Preferred Stock and any series of Voting Parity Stock, if any, shall terminate automatically and the number of directors shall be reduced by two, assuming that the rights of holders of such series of Voting Parity Stock have similarly terminated.
H. Information Rights.
During any period in which the Corporation is not subject to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and any shares of the Series A Preferred Stock are outstanding, the Corporation shall use its best efforts to (i) make available on its website at https://www.mstreetbank.com (or any successor website) current information specified in Rule 144(c)(2) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended; and (ii) promptly, upon request, supply such information to any holder or prospective holder of the Series A Preferred Stock.
I. Conversion Rights.
The holders of shares of Series A Preferred Stock shall not have any rights to convert such shares into shares of any other class or series of securities of the Corporation.
J. Preemptive Rights.
The holders of shares of Series A Preferred Stock will have no preemptive rights with respect to any shares of the Corporation’s capital stock or any of its other securities convertible into or carrying rights or options to purchase any such capital stock.
K. Certificates.
The Corporation may at its option issue shares of Series A Preferred Stock without certificates.
L. Transfer Agent.
The duly appointed transfer agent for the Series A Preferred Stock shall be American Stock Transfer & Trust Company, LLC. The Corporation may, in its sole discretion, remove the transfer agent in accordance with the agreement between the Corporation and the transfer agent; provided that the Corporation shall appoint a successor transfer agent who shall accept such appointment prior to the effectiveness of such removal. Upon any such removal or appointment, the Corporation shall send notice thereof to the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock.
M. Registrar.
The duly appointed registrar for the Series A Preferred Stock shall be American Stock Transfer & Trust Company, LLC. The Corporation may, in its sole discretion, remove the registrar in accordance with the agreement between the Corporation and the registrar; provided that the Corporation shall appoint a successor registrar who shall accept such appointment prior to the effectiveness of such removal.
ARTICLE IV
DIRECTORS
CLASSIFIED BOARD
1. Number. The management, control and government of the Corporation shall be vested in the Board of Directors, which shall be composed of no fewer than five (5) nor more than fifteen (15) directors which minimum and maximum number of directors may not be changed except by amendment to the Articles of Incorporation.
2. Classified Board. The Board of Directors shall be divided into three groups of directors that shall be designated Group I, Group II, and Group III. The members of each group shall be elected for a term of three years and until their successors are duly elected by the shareholders and qualified. Such groups shall be as nearly equal in number as the then total number of directors constituting the entire Board of Directors shall permit, with the term of office of Group I to expire at the first annual meeting of shareholders, the term of office of Group II to expire at the annual meeting of shareholders one year thereafter, and the term of office of Group III to expire at the annual meeting of shareholders two years thereafter. At each annual meeting of shareholders following such initial classification and election, directors elected to succeed those directors whose terms expire shall be elected for a term of office to expire at the third succeeding annual meeting of shareholders after their election.
Whenever the holders of any one or more series of Preferred Stock of the Corporation shall have the right, voting separately as a class, to elect one or more directors of the Corporation, the Board of Directors shall consist of said directors so elected in addition to the number of directors fixed as provided above in this Article.
ARTICLE V
QUORUM AT SHAREHOLDERS MEETINGS
SHAREHOLDER APPROVAL OF CERTAIN TRANSACTIONS
1. Quorum at Shareholder Meetings. Unless otherwise required by the Code of Virginia, or these Articles, one-third (1/3) of the votes entitled to be cast on a matter by a voting group at a shareholder meeting shall constitute a quorum of that voting group for action on a matter presented at a shareholder meeting. Once a share is represented for any purpose at a meeting, it is deemed present for quorum purposes for the remainder of the meeting and for any adjournment of that meeting unless a new record date is or shall be set for that adjourned meeting.
2. Shareholder Approval of Certain Actions. An amendment of the Corporation’s Articles of Incorporation, a plan of merger or share exchange, a transaction involving the sale of all or substantially all the Corporation’s assets other than in the regular course of business, and a plan of dissolution shall be approved by the vote of a majority of all the votes entitled to be cast on such transactions by each voting group entitled to vote on the transaction at a meeting at which a quorum of the voting group is present, provided that the transaction has been approved and recommended by at least two-thirds (2/3) of the Directors in office at the time of such approval and recommendation. If the transaction is not so approved and recommended by at least two-thirds (2/3) of the Directors in office, then the transaction shall be approved by the vote of eighty percent (80%) or more of all the votes entitled to be cast on such transactions by each voting group entitled to vote on the transaction.
ARTICLE VI
INDEMNIFICATION AND ELIMINATION OF LIABILITY
1. Indemnification of Directors and Officers. Except as provided in Section 2 of this Article, the Corporation shall indemnify every individual made a party to a proceeding because he is or was a director or officer against liability incurred in the proceeding if: (i) he conducted himself in good faith; and (ii) he believed, in the case of conduct in his official capacity with the Corporation, that his conduct was in its best interests and, in all other cases, that his conduct was at least not opposed to its best interests (or in the case of conduct with respect to an employee benefit plan, that his conduct was for a purpose he believed to be in the interests of the participants of and beneficiaries of the plan); and (iii) he had no reasonable cause to believe, in the case of any criminal proceeding, that his conduct was unlawful.
2. Indemnification Not Permitted. The Corporation shall not indemnify any individual against his willful misconduct or a knowing violation of the criminal law or against any liability incurred by him in any proceeding charging improper personal benefit to him, whether or not by or in the right of the Corporation or involving action in his official capacity, in which he was adjudged liable by a court of competent jurisdiction on the basis that personal benefit was improperly received by him.
3. Effect of Judgment or Conviction. The termination of a proceeding by judgment, order, settlement or conviction is not, of itself, determinative that an individual did not meet the standard of conduct set forth in Section 1 of this Article or that the conduct of such individual constituted willful misconduct or a knowing violation of the criminal law.
4. Determination and Authorization. Unless ordered by a court of competent jurisdiction, any indemnification under Section 1 of this Article shall be made by the Corporation only as authorized in the specific case upon a determination that indemnification of the individual is permissible in the circumstances because: (i) he met the standard of conduct set forth in Section 1 of this Article and, with respect to a proceeding by or in the right of the Corporation in which such individual was adjudged liable to the Corporation, he is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnification in view of all of the relevant circumstances even though he was adjudged liable; and (ii) the conduct of such individual did not constitute willful misconduct or a knowing violation of the criminal law.
Such determination shall be made: (i) by the board of directors by a majority vote of a quorum consisting of directors not at the time parties to the proceeding; or (ii) if such a quorum cannot be obtained, by a majority vote of a committee duly designated by the board of directors (in which designation directors who are parties may participate), consisting solely of two or more directors not at the time parties to the proceeding; or (iii) by special legal counsel selected by the board of directors or its committee in the manner heretofore provided or, if such a quorum of the board of directors cannot be obtained and such a committee cannot be designated, selected by a majority vote of the board of directors (in which selection directors who are parties may participate); or (iv) by the shareholders, but shares owned by or voted under the control of individuals who are at the time parties to the proceeding may not be voted on the determination. Authorization of indemnification, evaluation as to reasonableness of expenses and determination and authorization of advancements for expenses shall be made in the same manner as the determination that indemnification is permissible, except that if the determination is made by special legal counsel, authorization of indemnification and evaluation as to reasonableness of expenses shall be made by those selecting such counsel.
5. Advance for Expenses. If permitted by applicable law, the Corporation shall pay for or reimburse the reasonable expenses incurred by any individual who is a party to a proceeding in advance of final disposition of the proceeding if: (i) he furnished the Corporation a written statement of his good faith belief that he has met the standard of conduct described in Section 1 of this Article and a written undertaking, executed personally or on his behalf, to repay the advance if it is ultimately determined that indemnification of such individual in the specific case is not permissible; and (ii) a determination is made that the facts then known to those making the determination would not preclude indemnification under this Article.
6. Indemnification of Employees and Agents. The Corporation may, but shall not be required to, indemnify and advance expenses to employees and agents of the Corporation to the same extent as provided in this Article with respect to directors and officers.
7. Elimination of Liability of Directors and Officers. Except as provided in Section 8 of this Article, in any proceeding brought by or in the right of the Corporation or brought by or on behalf of shareholders of the Corporation, a director or officer of the Corporation shall not be liable in any monetary amount for damages arising out of or resulting from a single transaction, occurrence or course of conduct.
8. Liability of Directors and Officers Not Eliminated. The liability of a director or officer shall not be eliminated in accordance with the provisions of Section 7 of this Article if the director or officer engaged in willful misconduct or a knowing violation of the criminal law or of any federal or state securities law, including without limitation, any claim of unlawful insider trading or manipulation of the market for any security.
9. Definitions. In this Article:
“Director” and “officer” mean an individual who is or was a director or officer of the Corporation, as the case may be, or who, while a director or officer of the Corporation is or was serving at the Corporation’s request as a director, officer, partner, trustee, employee or agent of another foreign or domestic corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise. A director or officer shall be considered to be serving an employee benefit plan at the Corporation’s request if his duties to the Corporation also impose duties on, or otherwise involve services by, him to the plan or to participants in or beneficiaries of the plan.
“Individual” includes, unless the context requires otherwise, the estate, heirs, executors, personal representatives and administrators of an individual.
“Corporation” means the Corporation and any domestic or foreign predecessor entity of the Corporation in a merger or other transaction in which the predecessor’s existence ceased upon the consummation of the transaction.
“Expenses” includes but is not limited to reasonable counsel fees.
“Liability” means the obligation to pay a judgment, settlement, penalty, fine, including any excise tax assessed with respect to an employee benefit plan, or reasonable expenses incurred with respect to a proceeding.
“Official capacity” means: (i) when used with respect to a director, the office of director in the Corporation; (ii) when used with respect to an officer, the office in the Corporation held by him; or (iii) when used with respect to an employee or agent, the employment or agency relationship undertaken by him on behalf of the Corporation. “Official capacity” does not include service for any foreign or domestic corporation or other partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise.
“Party” includes an individual who was, is or is threatened to be made a named defendant or respondent in a proceeding.
“Proceeding” means any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative and whether formal or informal.
10. Provisions Not Exclusive. As authorized by the Virginia Stock Corporation Act, the provisions of this Article are in addition to and not in limitation of the specific powers of a corporation to indemnify directors and officers set forth therein. If any provision of this Article shall be adjudicated invalid or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, such adjudication shall not be deemed to invalidate or otherwise affect any other provision hereof or any power of indemnity which the Corporation may have under the Virginia Stock Corporation Act or other laws of the Commonwealth of Virginia.
Exhibit 19.0

Policy Statement on Insider Trading and Confidentiality
Adopted July 17, 2024
To: All directors, officers, and other employees of, and consultants and other service providers to, the Company.
This Policy Statement confirms procedures that such persons at every level must follow, arising from our responsibilities as a public company.
MainStreet Bancshares, Inc. and MainStreet Bank (collectively, the “Company”) hereby restate our guidelines with respect to transactions in securities of MainStreet Bancshares, Inc. based on material non-public (or “inside”) information and disclosure of confidential information, separate and apart from our Code of Ethics. This Policy Statement applies to all transactions involving common stock and other securities the Company may issue, including preferred stock, debt and derivative securities (e.g., depositary shares) relating to the Company’s securities.
Violations of applicable insider trading laws, inadvertent or otherwise, can result in severe civil and criminal penalties for the culpable individuals, Company management and the Company itself. Such violations can also severely damage the Company’s reputation for integrity and professionalism. Even the appearance of an improper transaction must be avoided to preserve the Company’s reputation for adhering to the highest standards of ethical conduct. This Policy Statement establishes procedures to be followed to prevent both intentional and unintentional acts of prohibited insider trading and acts that facilitate such trading.
The Company’s policy against insider trading and disclosure of confidential information applies to directors, officers, other employees, consultants and other service providers, and the Company does not intend for anything in this Policy Statement to supersede or alter the Company’s Code of Ethics. Such persons are also responsible for ensuring that their spouses and other family members residing in their households adhere to the requirements of this Policy Statement.
Prohibition against trading on material non-public information. If you are aware of material information relating to the Company that has not yet been available to the public for at least two full trading days (“material non-public information”), you are prohibited from trading (i.e., buying or selling) the Company’s securities or directly or indirectly disclosing such information to any other person who may trade in the Company’s securities. You must also refrain from recommending the purchase or sale of the Company’s securities while in possession of material non-public information, or from knowingly assisting anyone who is engaged in any of the activities prohibited by this Policy Statement.
For example, if the Company makes an announcement before the commencement of trading on a Monday, you may trade in the Company’s securities starting on Wednesday of that week, because two full trading days would have elapsed by then (all of Monday and Tuesday). If the announcement is made on Monday after trading begins, you may not trade in the Company’s securities until Thursday. If the announcement is made on Friday after trading begins, you may not trade in the Company’s securities until Wednesday of the following week.
Material Information. It is difficult to describe exhaustively what constitutes “material” information, but you should assume that any information relating to the business and affairs of the Company, positive or negative (including a change in previous information or facts), which, if disclosed, might have a significant effect on the market price of the Company’s securities or might be of significance to a reasonable investor in determining whether to purchase, sell or hold the Company’s securities, is material. Information may be significant for this purpose even if it would not by itself determine the investor’s decision. Examples of information that may be material, depending on the circumstances, include a potential business acquisition, quarterly or annual results, dividends, stock splits, management changes, important product developments, major litigation developments and internal financial information. We emphasize that these examples are illustrative and do not constitute a complete list of the types of information that are “material.”
Non-public Information. “Non-public (or “inside”) information” is information that has not been generally disclosed in a manner sufficient to ensure its availability to the investing public. Information should be regarded as non-public until it has been disseminated widely to the investing public (e.g., in a press release distributed through a widely circulated news or wire service or in a Current Report on Form 8-K) for at least two full trading days.
When in doubt, information should be presumed to be both non-public and material.
Confidentiality. Serious problems could be caused for the Company by unauthorized disclosure of internal information about the Company, whether for the purpose of facilitating improper trading in the Company’s securities or not. You should not discuss internal Company matters or developments with anyone outside the Company, except as required in the performance of regular corporate duties.
This prohibition applies specifically (but not exclusively) to inquiries about the Company which may be made by the financial press, investment analysts or others in the financial community. It is important that all such communications made on behalf of the Company be through an appropriately designated officer under carefully controlled circumstances. Unless you are expressly authorized to the contrary, if you receive any inquiries of this nature, you should decline to comment and refer the inquirer to Jeff W. Dick or, in his absence, Thomas J. Chmelik.
Applicability of Policy to Inside Information Regarding Other Companies. This Policy Statement and the guidelines described herein also apply to material non-public information regarding other companies, including the Company’s customers, vendors, or suppliers (“business partners”), when that information is obtained in the course of employment with, or other services performed on behalf of, the Company. Civil and criminal penalties, and termination of employment, may result from trading on material non-public information regarding the Company’s business partners. You should treat material non-public information about the Company’s business partners with the same care required for information related directly to the Company.
If you have any doubt as to your responsibilities under these guidelines, seek clarification and guidance from Jeff W. Dick or, in his absence, Thomas J. Chmelik, before you act. Do not try to resolve uncertainties on your own.
Violations of the Policy Statement. Applicable federal laws impose severe monetary and criminal penalties for insider trading violations. We expect the strictest compliance with these procedures by directors and all personnel at every level. Failure to observe them may result in serious legal difficulties for you (including disgorgement of profits earned or losses avoided, civil fines, private actions by other investors, and criminal prosecution), as well as for the Company. A failure to follow the letter (or the spirit) of these policies will be considered a matter of extreme seriousness and grounds for disciplinary action.
Each director, officer, other employee, consultant, and other service provider must certify by signing and returning the attached certification, that he or she has read, understands and will abide by this Policy Statement.

Supplement to the Policy Statement on Insider Trading and Confidentiality
The law in this area changes frequently, but very often is difficult to apply to individual fact situations. This Supplement contains basic guidelines only. Accordingly, advice should be sought promptly whenever there is any question about proposed or completed actions or statements.
Investment by Covered Persons (as defined below) in securities of MainStreet Bancshares, Inc. is generally desirable and not to be discouraged. However, such investments should be made with caution, and with recognition of the legal prohibitions against the use by Company “insiders” of confidential information for their own profit. The following are guidelines to aid officers and directors and others who have access to “inside” information in determining when trading in the Company’s securities is inappropriate. These guidelines are intended to serve as a supplement to the Company’s Policy Statement on Insider Trading and Confidentiality.
The Company is providing this Supplement to the Policy Statement on Insider Trading and Confidentiality (“Supplemental Policy Statement”) to those persons who, because of the nature of their employment or position, are most likely to have access to material non-public and confidential information regarding the Company. This Supplemental Policy Statement applies to transactions in securities of MainStreet Bancshares, Inc. by (i) members of the Board of Directors (the “Board”) and (ii) officers of MainStreet Bancshares, Inc. who are subject to the reporting requirements under Section 16 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (collectively referred to herein as “Covered Persons”). Covered Persons are also responsible for ensuring that their spouses and other family members residing in their households adhere to the requirements of this Supplemental Policy Statement.
General Trading Restrictions
Consistent with the Company’s Policy Statement on Insider Trading and Confidentiality, Covered Persons may not trade in securities of MainStreet Bancshares, Inc. if they have knowledge of material information about the Company that has not been made widely available to the investing public. If you have any questions whether information that you possess may be or may become material, we urge that you discuss the matter with Jeff W. Dick or, in his absence, Thomas J. Chmelik, promptly. Once information has been released by the Company, Covered Persons must refrain from trading in the Company’s securities until sufficient time has passed to ensure that the information has been widely distributed to the investing public. In most cases, Covered Persons must refrain from trading until two full trading days after release by the Company of the information, but if circumstances warrant, it may be advisable to wait a longer period. If you have any questions as to whether it is appropriate to trade in a given circumstance, contact Jeff W. Dick or, in his absence Thomas J. Chmelik, for advice prior to trading. Additionally, except for bona fide gifts and exercises of Company-granted stock option for cash, Covered Persons may not trade, without prior permission for reasons of exceptional personal hardship, during any period that has been designated as a Trading Blackout period, whether they possess any material non-public information about the Company.
Notice & Pre-Clearance of Transactions
All Covered Persons must notify Jeff W. Dick or, in his absence, Thomas J. Chmelik, at least three business days prior to engaging in any transaction in Company securities (including bona fide gifts and stock option exercises). In addition, all Covered Persons must pre-clear any such transactions in Company securities with Jeff W. Dick, or, in his absence, Thomas J. Chmelik. Unless renewed, a pre-clearance for any proposed trade will be valid for [five business days] unless a shorter period is specified in such pre-clearance or unless such pre-clearance is revoked prior to that time.
Quarterly and Event Specific Blackout Periods
A Covered Person generally may trade in Company securities if he or she does not possess any material information about the Company that has not been publicly disclosed, and no limitation on trading (a “Trading Blackout”) has been declared.
Trading by a Covered Person will generally be appropriate outside of a Trading Blackout, as long as he or she does not possess any material nonpublic information, provided that prior to trading the Covered Person contacts Jeff W. Dick or, in his absence, Thomas J. Chmelik, to pre-clear the transaction.
Quarterly Trading Blackout Period. Covered Persons may not purchase or sell Company securities during the period beginning on and including the 15th day of the last month of each fiscal quarter and ending two full trading days after the Company’s public release (i.e., distributed through a widely circulated news or wire service or reported in a Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q) of earnings results for such quarter.
The safest period for trading in the Company’s securities, assuming the absence of material non‐public information, is generally the first ten days following the end of a quarterly Trading Blackout. This is because Covered Persons will, as any quarter progresses, be increasingly likely to possess material non-public information about the expected financial results for the quarter.
Event-Specific Trading Blackout Period. The Company may also impose event-specific trading bans from time to time in the event of material developments. Depending on the circumstances, these event-specific trading bans may be announced or unannounced. If unannounced, Covered Persons will be informed that trading is not permitted when they contact Jeff W. Dick or, in his absence, Thomas J. Chmelik, to pre-clear the applicable transaction.
The purpose behind the Trading Blackouts is to help establish a diligent effort to avoid any improper transactions in Company securities. It should be noted that even outside of the Trading Blackouts any person possessing material non-public information concerning the Company should not engage in any transactions in the Company’s securities until such information has been known publicly for at least two full trading days. Although the Company may from time to time impose event-specific blackouts because of developments known to the Company and not yet disclosed to the public, each person is always individually responsible for compliance with the prohibitions against trading based on material non-public information. Covered Persons are expected to always use good judgment.
10b5-1 Plans
In accordance with Rule 10b5-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, Covered Persons may establish written trading plans that would permit (i) automatic trading of the Company’s securities through a third-party broker or (ii) trading of the Company’s securities by an independent person (e.g., a qualified brokerage firm or trustee) who is not aware of material non-public information at the time of a trade. A Rule 10b5-1 trading plan must be established outside of a Blackout Period and during a time when the Covered Person is not aware of material non-public information. Trades made pursuant to a Rule 10b5-1 compliant trading plan would not be subject to the limitations and restrictions set forth in this Supplemental Policy Statement. Trading pursuant to a Rule 10b5-1 plan may occur during a Trading Blackout or even when the Covered Person is aware of material non-public information, if the independent person administering the Rule 10b5-1 plan is not aware of material non-public information. However, any purchase or sale of shares or changes to a Rule 10b5-1 trading plan based on material non-public information is prohibited.
Each Rule 10b5-1 trading plan (or the form of a plan established by a qualified brokerage firm or other third party) must be reviewed by Jeff W. Dick or, in his absence, Thomas J. Chmelik, prior to establishment in order to confirm compliance with this policy and the applicable securities laws.
Option Exercises
Covered Persons may exercise for cash only Company-granted stock options at any time, even during a Trading Blackout or while in possession of material non-public information about the Company. While the exercise of an option is considered a purchase of Company stock, the prohibition on the purchase or sale of Company securities while in possession of material non‐public information is limited to transactions with third parties, where there is an injured party on the other end of the transaction. In the context of a Company-granted option exercise pursuant to the terms and conditions of a previously awarded stock option agreement (with no broker or other third-party involvement), there is no potentially injured third party. Therefore, Covered Persons may exercise Company-granted stock options at any time (if there is no broker or other third party involved).
While Covered Persons are permitted to exercise Company-granted stock options in the above circumstances, from a public relations standpoint a Covered Person may choose to not exercise Company-granted stock options during a Trading Blackout to avoid public scrutiny. Therefore, the Company requests that Covered Persons limit exercising Company-granted stock options during a Trading Blackout to instances where the options are about to expire, or some hardship exists.
Covered Persons may not, however, exercise a call option (an option purchased from a third-party) while in possession of material non-public information or during a Trading Blackout. Such an exercise would be a violation of securities laws. In addition, because sales of the underlying securities through a brokerage firm in connection with cashless exercises of options involve sales outside of the stock option agreement (not with the Company or a Company benefit plan), Covered Persons may not exercise a Company-granted stock option by means of a cashless exercise during a Trading Blackout or while in possession of material non-public information about the Company. Although Covered Persons may exercise for cash only Company-granted stock options during a Trading Blackout or while in possession of material non-public information, Covered Persons may not while in possession of material non-public information sell the Company securities acquired upon such option exercise.
Policy Against Pledging Company Stock
Purpose. The Board believes that ownership of the Company’s common stock by Covered Persons promotes alignment of interest with shareholders. The Board recognizes that pledging by Covered Persons of the Company’s securities as collateral for indebtedness creates the risk of an unplanned sale that may occur at a time when the Covered Person is aware of material nonpublic information or is otherwise not permitted to trade in the Company’s securities.
Guidelines. Covered Persons shall not, directly, or indirectly, pledge, hypothecate, or otherwise encumber securities of MainStreet Bancshares, Inc. as collateral for indebtedness. This prohibition includes, but is not limited to, holding such securities in a margin account or any other account that could cause the securities to be subject to a margin call or otherwise be available as collateral for a margin loan.
The foregoing prohibition applies to securities that (i) a Covered Person owns directly or indirectly or (ii) are granted as part of a Covered Person’s compensation.
Compliance. Each Covered Person will be expected to certify compliance with this Policy annually and otherwise from time to time upon request by the Board or a committee of the Board.
Timing. Covered Persons shall, within 60 days, unwind or otherwise terminate any transaction existing as of the time such Covered Person became subject to this Supplemental Policy Statement that would otherwise violate this policy.
Administration. This Supplemental Policy Statement will be administered and interpreted by the Compensation Committee of the Board. Any determination by the Compensation Committee with respect to this Supplemental Policy Statement shall be final, conclusive and binding on all interested parties.
Prohibited Transactions. To avoid the perception of impropriety, Covered Persons must not speculate in the Company’s securities, at any time. For the purposes of this Policy, “speculate” means the purchase or sale of the Company’s securities with the intention of reselling or buying back such securities in a relatively short period of time, with the expectation of a rise or fall in the market price. Additionally, certain types of transactions are by their nature regarded as speculative. Therefore, Covered Persons must not at any time:
|
● |
Sell the Company’s securities that are not owned or fully paid for (otherwise known as a “short sale”); |
|
● |
Buy or sell a call or a put option on the Company’s securities or enter into any equity monetization transaction that would have an equivalent effect; or |
|
● |
Enter into any other financial instrument designed to hedge or offset a decrease in the market value of the Company’s securities, including without limitation, pre-paid variable forward contracts, equity swaps, collars or units of exchange funds. |
Supplemental Policy Statement Compliance with Code of Ethics and Business Conduct When trading in securities of MainStreet Bancshares, Inc., in addition to the notice and pre‐clearance requirements described above, a Covered Person must also adhere to the Company’s Code of Ethics and Business Conduct and its general policy prohibiting trading based on material non-public information.
Termination of Employment or Departure from the Board
Covered Persons must comply with these trading restrictions for a period of 6 months following termination of employment or departure from the Board.
Certification
Each Covered Person must certify by signing and returning the attached Certification that he or she has read, understands, and will abide by this Supplemental Policy Statement.
