Explanatory Note
This Amendment No. 1 to Schedule 13D is being filed by the undersigned to amend the Schedule 13D filed by the reporting person on
March 31, 2016 (as amended, the Schedule 13D). This Amendment No. 1 amends the Schedule 13D as specifically set forth.

Item 4.

Purpose of Transaction.

Item 4 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended and restated
in its entirety to read as follows:
The disclosure in Item 3 is incorporated by reference herein.
The purpose of the acquisition of the Shares of the Issuer beneficially owned by Mr. Sokol was to acquire the Shares for
investment purposes in the ordinary course of selling, trading, and investing in securities.
Mr. Sokol has engaged in
discussions with the Board of Directors of the Issuer regarding the Issuers financial performance and prevailing market trends impacting community banks (including increased competition for customers, costly regulatory compliance and general
economic uncertainties). In this regard, on March 31, 2016, Mr. Sokol urged the Board of Directors to initiate a process to explore strategic alternatives to enable the Issuers shareholders to realize the full value of their
investment in the Issuer. To this end, on March 31, 2016, Mr. Sokol sent a letter to the Board of Directors of the Issuer, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 1 and incorporated by reference herein. Subsequent to that letter,
Mr. Sokol sent another letter to the Board of Directors on April 20, 2016 conveying that he has engaged professional advisors to assist him in realizing the intrinsic value of his investment in the Issuer, and also stating that he may
withhold his support for the re-election of the Boards director slate at the Issuers May 4, 2016 annual meeting of shareholders. A copy of Mr. Sokols April 20, 2016 letter is attached hereto as Exhibit 5 and
incorporated by reference herein.
Mr. Sokol intends to review his investment in the Issuer on a continuing basis and,
depending on various factors, including the Issuers business, affairs, and financial position, other developments concerning the Issuer, the price level of the Issuers Shares, conditions in the securities markets and general economic and
industry conditions, as well as other investment opportunities available to him, may in the future take such actions with respect to his investment in the Shares as he
deems appropriate in light of the circumstances existing from time to time. Such actions may include, without limitation, the purchase of additional Shares in the open market and in block trades,
in privately negotiated transactions or otherwise, or the sale at any time of all or a portion of the Shares now owned or hereafter acquired by him to one or more purchasers. In addition, Mr. Sokol may engage in communications regarding the
Issuer with knowledgeable industry or market observers, industry participants, members of the Issuers Board of Directors or management, other representatives of the Issuer, or other persons. Such discussions may concern ideas or proposals
that, if effected, may result in one or more of the events described in Item 4 of Schedule 13D, including, without limitation, a potential acquisition of the Issuer by an outside third party.
The foregoing description of discussions, intentions, plans, activities, and potential transactions under consideration is
subject to termination, evolution, modification, or change at any time, without notice, and there can be no assurance that Mr. Sokol will continue with any discussions or activities, or take any further action with respect to, the matters
described above.
Item 5.
|
Interest in Securities of the Issuer.
|
No material change, except that the 2,103,008
shares of common stock beneficially owned by Mr. Sokol now represent 29.59% of the Issuers issued and outstanding common stock, calculated based on 7,107,518 shares of common stock, par value $2.50 per share, as reported in the
Issuers Proxy Statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 12, 2016.

|
No material change.
