Compensation Discussion
Philosophy and Objectives of the Company’s Compensation Program. The Board believes compensation of its executive officers should reflect and support the Company’s strategic and financial performance goals, the primary goal being the creation of long-term value for the shareholders of the Company, while protecting the interests of the depositors of the Bank. The philosophy behind the compensation program is to provide both cash compensation, in the form of salaries and bonuses, as well as stock incentives, in an effort to promote an ownership mentality among the executive officers and other key individuals within the Company and its affiliates.
The Compensation Committee is tasked with reviewing and making recommendations regarding the Company’s executive compensation policies to ensure they are (i) competitive, (ii) performance-based, and (iii) consistent with the Company’s annual and long-term business objectives. The Compensation Committee is also responsible for administering the Company’s stock incentive plans.
The Compensation Committee specifically reviews and makes recommendations to the Board regarding the compensation of the President and Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) of the Company and its affiliates based on reasonableness, competitiveness and relationship to performance. In determining the compensation to recommend for the CEO, the Compensation Committee reviews certain established bank performance metrics and goals. During 2022 and 2023, the Compensation Committee considered whether the cash compensation and the stock incentive awards made to the CEO were reasonable and reflective of the merger-related efforts and positive impact on the Company and shareholder value. The Compensation Committee also considered whether the cash compensation and the stock incentive awards motivate him to remain at the Company. In 2023, the Compensation Committee recommended, based on the CEO’s performance in 2022, that (a) his salary remain at $500,000, (b) he be given a $150,000 cash bonus, and (c) he receive 8,400 shares restricted stock vesting in equal annual installments over four years. In 2024, the Compensation Committee recommended, based on the CEO’s performance in 2023, that (a) his salary remain at $500,000, (b) he be given a $100,000 cash bonus, and (c) he receive 10,816 shares restricted stock vesting in equal annual installments over four years. The Board approved the Compensation Committee’s recommendations in both 2023 and 2024, and the salary increases were effective during those years.
For 2023 and 2024, the CEO established the compensation for the other NEOs. The compensation of the Company's NEOs is designed to be reflective of the level of responsibility and the performance of the executive officer relative to the positive impact on the Company and shareholder values.
7
During 2023 and 2024, no compensation consultants were engaged or used by the Compensation Committee, the Board of Directors or management with respect to executive compensation. The Compensation Committee and management do use certain compensation surveys and information available from various organizations.
Composition of Compensation. There are four primary components of executive compensation, as follows: base salary; cash bonuses; stock option grants or other stock awards under the Company’s stock incentive plans; and benefits.
Base Salary. Base salary provides competitive levels of compensation to executives, in accordance with their experience, duties and responsibilities. Base salaries are necessary to recruit and retain executives, and base salary adjustments are reflective of an individual’s performance or changed responsibilities.
Cash Bonuses. Cash bonuses are designed to align the interests of executive officers with the Company’s shareholders by rewarding officers based on the performance of the Company; such bonuses are discretionary and, for Mr. Rust, subject to Board approval.
Stock Option Grants and Other Stock Incentive Awards. Periodically, stock option grants, restricted and unrestricted stock grants, or other awards under the Company’s stock incentive plans may be awarded to executive officers and others within the Company and its affiliates whose performance is critical to the ongoing success of the Company. Stock options that have been granted have a ten-year term and typically vest evenly over a four-year or five-year period. All outstanding options have an exercise price equal to the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the date of the grant. The Company may also grant stock, restricted stock or other stock awards, which may vest immediately or over time. The actual value that may be realized by an option holder or by the recipient of a stock grant or other stock incentive award is tied to the appreciation of the Company’s common stock, thereby aligning the option holders’ or recipients’ interests with those of the Company’s other shareholders.
In addition to the restricted stock awarded to Mr. Rust in 2023 and 2024, each of the other NEOs received 9,900 options to purchase shares of stock April 2024 with a four-year vesting schedule. No restricted stock or stock options were granted to the other NEOs in 2023. Outstanding stock options and restricted stock granted to the NEOs in 2024 and certain prior years are included on page 11 in “Outstanding Equity Awards at Fiscal Year-End.”
Benefits.
401(k) Profit Sharing Plan. The Company has a 401(k) plan which is available to all employees. Employees are able to elect the amount to contribute, not to exceed a maximum amount as determined by IRS regulations. The Company matches 100% of the first 6% of employee contributions. Matching contributions, as well as employee contributions, are fully vested immediately. “Vesting” refers to the rights of ownership to the assets in the 401(k) accounts.
Health and Welfare Benefits. The Company also offers health and welfare benefits to the executive officers and others within the Company, including medical, dental and vision insurance, group term life insurance, disability insurance and flexible spending accounts.
Split-Dollar Life Insurance. The Company has certain split-dollar insurance or bank-owned life insurance (“BOLI”) arrangements with each named executive officer and certain other senior officers of the Company and/or its subsidiaries. Under these BOLI arrangements, the Company is the owner of, and pays all premiums for, insurance policies on an officer’s life. Upon the death of the insured officer, a portion of the death benefit will be paid to beneficiary(ies) designated by the officer, subject to the terms and restrictions of the split-dollar endorsement agreement between the officer and the Company, and the balance is paid to the Company.
Perquisites. Perquisites may be granted to executive officers and other employees, after proper consideration of the business need. Perquisites may include memberships in local clubs and the provision of a bank-owned automobile that will be primarily used for Company business. All perquisites represent a small portion of the Company’s compensation program, and those for the NEOs are disclosed according to regulations in the “Summary Compensation Table” on page 10.
Executive and Change in Control Arrangements. The Company entered into a second amended and restated management continuity agreement (a “Management Continuity Agreement”) with each of Mr. Rust, Ms. Bayes and Ms. Harrison on October 23, 2024.
8
Under the terms of each 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 each executive officer 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, an executive officer’s employment terminates without “cause” or for “good reason” (each as defined in the agreement), such executive officer is entitled to receive (i) a lump sum cash payment equal to two times the sum of (A) the executive officer’s annual base salary in effect at termination, plus (B) the average annual bonus paid or payable to the executive officer for the two most recently completed years, plus (C) any amounts contributed by the executive officer 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 the executive officer’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. Each Management Continuity Agreement also provides that any incentive based compensation or award an executive officer 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 the Board determines.
As defined in each Management Continuity Agreement, the term “change in control” includes, among other things, the acquisition by any person or group of 30% or more of the Company’s outstanding shares of common stock (excluding issuance directly from the Company), individuals who serve on the Board (including successors whose nominations were approved by at least two-thirds of the Board) cease to constitute a majority of the Board, certain merger transactions, and the consummation of a sale of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets.
Each of Mr. Rust, Ms. Bayes and Ms. Harrison is also a party to a Non-Disclosure, Non-Solicitation and Non-Competition Agreement (a “Non-Competition Agreement”) with Virginia National Bank that was entered into on May 18, 2020 pursuant to which each of the executive officers has agreed (a) to protect and not disclose the confidential and proprietary information of Virginia National Bank or its affiliates, (b) for a period of 12 months following the termination of the executive officer’s employment for any reason, not to solicit the customers or employees of Virginia National Bank or its affiliates, or to provide services or interfere with customers of Virginia National Bank or its affiliates, and (c) for a period of three months following the voluntary termination of the executive officer’s employment for any reason or involuntary termination of executive officer’s employment for “cause” (as defined in the agreement), not to engage in any activity or work that competes with the business of Virginia National Bank or its affiliates that is the same or substantially similar to services previously provided by the executive officer within a 30-mile radius of his/her office location, or within any other office location where the executive officer worked within the previous 12 months. Under the terms of each Management Continuity Agreement, the provisions of the Non-Competition Agreements will survive termination of the executive officer’s employment except the non-competition provisions will not apply after the executive officer ceases to be employed by Virginia National following a change in control unless the executive officer is entitled to receive severance benefits provided under the Management Continuity Agreement in connection with termination of his/her employment without cause or for good reason.

Item 13. CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS, AND DIRECTOR INDEPENDENCE.
Independence of Directors
Using the independence definitions and corporate governance requirements of Nasdaq, the Board has determined that eight (8) of the ten (10) current directors, are independent: directors Adams, Carter, Craig, Frostick, Houston, Keyser, Strange and Wells. The Board considered the lease payments made to, and received from, entities controlled by Mr. Craig, in evaluating his independence in accordance with Nasdaq’s rules and determined that such lease payments do not impair his independence. Mr. Dittmar is not independent because lease payments made by the Bank to an entity for which Mr. Dittmar is the manager and indirect owner, as described under “Related Person Transactions" below, would be considered compensation in excess of the applicable rules of Nasdaq. Mr. Rust, who serves as an executive officer of the Company, is not independent.
Related Person Transactions
Certain of the Company’s directors and officers, and certain immediate family members and/or associated entities, are customers of the Company’s affiliates and have had transactions in the ordinary course of business with the affiliates, including loan, deposit, asset management, leases and other transactions. All such banking transactions have been on substantially the same terms, including interest rates and collateral, as those prevailing at the time for comparable transactions with unrelated persons, and did not involve more than a normal risk of collection or present any unfavorable features for the Bank. All credit transactions involving officers and directors are reviewed and approved pursuant to the Bank’s established underwriting procedures, and all credit transactions involving executive officers and directors, and/or entities with which such persons are associated, are reported to the board of directors of the Bank.
The Company had business dealings or entered into non-banking transactions with directors of the Company or with entities in which a director or principal shareholder is owner, principal or has a beneficial interest of 10% or more since January 1, 2023. The Company has not adopted a formal written policy that covers the review and approval of director and other related person transactions by the Board; however, the Board, as a matter of practice, reviews all such significant transactions for approval. All such dealings and transactions have been on substantially the same terms as those prevailing at the time for comparable business dealings and transactions with unrelated persons. From January 1, 2024 through April 28, 2025, Virginia National Bank made lease and other payments of $720,097 to or for the benefit of Pantops Park, LLC, of which William D. Dittmar, Jr., chairman of the Virginia National Board, is the manager and indirect owner, under a ground lease executed in 2005. During 2023, Virginia National Bank made lease and other payments of $543,165 for the benefit of Pantops Park, LLC. The Company has engaged in non-banking transactions with other related persons of the Company; however, the amount of such payments made to, or received by, the Company did not exceed the disclosure threshold of $120,000.

Item 14. PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTANT FEES AND SERVICES.
The Company has selected Yount, Hyde & Barbour, P.C. to serve as independent registered public accounting firm for the Company in 2024. This firm audited the books and records of the Company for 2024 and 2023. The Company and its affiliates incurred the fees and out-of-pocket expenses shown in the table below for audit and other professional services provided by Yount, Hyde & Barbour, P.C., for or during the fiscal years ended December 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023.
