Liles, Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer of the Company and the Company’s bank subsidiary, Virginia National Bank (the “Bank”), entered into a management continuity agreement (a “Management Continuity Agreement”). Under the terms of the Management Continuity Agreement, in event of a “change in control” (as defined in the agreement) of the Company, the Company or its successor is required to continue to employ Ms. Liles for a period of two years following the date of the change in control with commensurate authority, responsibilities, compensation and benefits for that period. If, within six months prior to a change in control of the Company or during the above-described employment period, Ms. Liles’s employment terminates without “cause” or for “good reason” (each as defined in the agreement), she is entitled to receive (i) a lump sum cash payment equal to two times the sum of (A) her annual base salary in effect at termination, plus (B) the average annual bonus paid or payable to her for the two most recently completed years, plus (C) any amounts contributed by Ms. Liles during the most recently completed year pursuant to a salary reduction agreement or any other program that provides for pre-tax salary reductions or compensation deferrals; (ii) continuation of employee welfare benefits for up to 18 months following the date of termination; and (iii) a lump sum cash payment equal to the Company’s contributions to Ms. Liles’s account in the Company’s sponsored 401(k) plan for the two-year period prior to termination of employment. The severance benefits will be reduced to the extent necessary to avoid the imposition of the golden parachute excise taxes under Section 4999 of the Internal Revenue Code. The Management Continuity Agreement also provides that any incentive-based compensation or award Ms. Liles receives will be subject to clawback by the Company as may be required by applicable law or stock exchange listing requirement and on such basis as determined by the Company’s Board of Directors.\n\n \n\nThe Company also increased Ms. Liles’s annual base salary to $375,000, subject to annual adjustment.\n\nThe foregoing description of the terms and conditions of the Management Continuity Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the text of the Management Continuity Agreement, the form of which has been previously filed by the Company and is incorporated by reference herein."}
