2019-03-29 James G. Rakes (Age 62): Mr. Rakes was elected to the Company's Board of Directors in May 2017 when the Company Board was consolidated with the NBB Board. Mr. Rakes has the longest tenure of any current director of the Company, having served since its incorporation in 1986. Until his retirement in 2017, Mr. Rakes served as Executive Chairman of the Companys primary subsidiary, The National Bank of Blacksburg, where nearly all of the Companys business operations occur. Mr. Rakes spent his long career in banking and has held leadership positions in both state and national banking trade organizations. The Board of Directors determined that Mr. Rakess knowledge of NBB and the banking industry and his Board experience make him the logical and natural choice to serve as Chairman of the Board of the Company. We believe the Board also benefitted from the continuity that Mr. Rakes provided in chairing the Board. Because of the age restrictions in the Companys Bylaws, Mr. Rakes was ineligible for re-nomination to the Board for another three year term (see "Board Tenure"). Mr. Rakes will retire from the Board when his current term expires as of the date of the Annual Meeting.
