SUPPLEMENT TO THE DEFINITIVE PROXY STATEMENT, DATED APRIL 9, 2018,

FOR THE ANNUAL MEETING OF SHAREHOLDERS TO BE HELD ON MAY 22, 2018

 

 

Dear Fellow Shareholders:

 

This Supplement provides updated information with respect to the 2018 Annual Meeting of Shareholders (the “Annual Meeting”) of Village Bank and Trust Financial Corp. (the “Company”) to be held on Tuesday, May 22, 2018. This Supplement should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Definitive Proxy Statement (the “Proxy Statement”), dated April 9, 2018.

 

On May 14, 2018, Kenneth R. Lehman resigned from the Board of Directors of the Company, effective immediately, and will not stand for election at the Annual Meeting. The Board of Directors will not nominate another individual for election at the Annual Meeting in place of Mr. Lehman and will not immediately fill the vacancy created by Mr. Lehman’s resignation.

 

Any votes cast for Mr. Lehman at the Annual Meeting will not be counted. If you have not yet voted, you will not need to obtain a new proxy card to vote your shares. If you have already voted, it is not necessary for you to vote your shares again. Proxy cards already returned by shareholders will remain valid and, except with respect to the election of Mr. Lehman, shares represented thereby will be voted at the Annual Meeting in accordance with your instructions unless revoked. If you have already voted and would like to revoke or change your vote on any matter, you may revoke your proxy by following the instructions given under “Voting and Revocation of Proxies” on page 1 of the Proxy Statement.

 

The other agenda items presented in the Proxy Statement are not otherwise affected by this Supplement.

 

We appreciate your continued support and look forward to seeing you at the Annual Meeting.

 

Sincerely,

 

 

/s/ William G. Foster
