procedures set forth in the merger agreement that will ensure that 60% of the outstanding shares of Virginia Bancorp stock will be exchanged for City Holding common stock and 40% of the outstanding shares of Virginia Bancorp stock will be exchanged
for cash, provided that no more than 240,000 shares of City Holding common stock will be issued nor more than $4,689,920 in cash will be paid in the merger. If the stock and cash elections do not equal the 60%/40% ratio, you may receive a different
proportion of cash or stock than you elect.

|
A:
|
After you have read this document carefully, indicate on your proxy card how you want your shares to be voted. Then complete, sign, date and return your proxy card in
the enclosed return envelope as soon as possible so that your shares may be represented at the special meeting. It is important that the proxy card be received as soon as possible and in any event before the special meeting.
|
Q:
|
If my shares are held by my broker in street name, will my broker vote my shares for me?
|
A:
|
No. Without instructions from you, your broker will not be able to vote your shares on the proposal to approve and adopt the merger agreement. You should instruct your
broker to vote your shares, following the directions provided by your broker to vote your shares. If you do not provide your broker with instructions on how to vote your shares held in street name, your broker will not be permitted to
vote your shares on the proposal to approve and adopt the merger agreement.
|
Q:
|
Can I change my vote after I mail my proxy card?
|
A:
|
Yes. You can change your vote at any time before your proxy is voted at the shareholder meeting. You can do this in one of three ways:
|
|
|
|
First, you can send a written notice to the Corporate Secretary of Virginia Bancorp stating that you would like to revoke your proxy.
|
|
|
|
Second, you can complete and submit a new proxy card. Your latest vote actually received by Virginia Bancorp before the special meeting will be
counted, and any earlier votes will be revoked.
|
|
|
|
Third, you can attend the shareholder meeting and vote in person. Any earlier proxy will thereby be revoked. However, simply attending the special
meeting will not revoke your earlier proxy.
|
If you choose either of the first or second methods, you must
submit your notice of revocation or your new proxy card to Virginia Bancorp prior to the special meeting. Your submissions must be mailed to the Corporate Secretary of Virginia Bancorp at the address listed on the Notice of Special Meeting.
Q:
|
What if I do not vote or I abstain from voting?
|
A:
|
Abstentions and broker non-votes are counted as present and entitled to vote for purposes of determining a quorum. A broker non-vote occurs when a nominee holding
shares for a beneficial owner does not vote on a particular proposal because the nominee does not have discretionary voting power for that particular item and has not received instructions from the beneficial owner. Although brokers have
discretionary power to vote your shares with respect to routine matters (which holders of Virginia Bancorp preferred stock may be excluded from voting on), they do not have discretionary power to vote your shares on non-routine matters. Both
proposals are non-routine and therefore your broker will not be able to vote your shares with respect to either proposal unless the broker receives appropriate instructions from you. If you do not provide your broker with instructions on how to vote
your shares in street name, your broker will not be permitted to vote your shares on the proposal to approve and adopt the merger agreement, which will have the effect of a NO vote on the merger agreement and the transactions
contemplated thereby.
|
Virginia Bancorp stock owned by holders electing to abstain from voting with respect to
any proposal and broker non-votes will be regarded as present at the meeting and counted towards the determination of whether a quorum exists.
3
Q:
|
What is the vote required to approve each proposal at the special meeting?
|
A:
|
The presence, in person or by proxy, of the holders of a majority of the aggregate number of outstanding shares of Virginia Bancorp common stock and Virginia Bancorp
preferred stock entitled to vote at the special meeting is necessary to constitute a quorum for the special meeting. If a quorum exists at the special meeting, approval and adoption of the merger agreement requires the affirmative vote of more than
two-thirds of all votes entitled to be cast by the holders of Virginia Bancorp common stock and Virginia Bancorp preferred stock, voting together as a single class. For purposes of approval of the adjournment/postponement proposal, the affirmative
vote of a majority of the shares of Virginia Bancorp common stock and Virginia Bancorp preferred stock, voting together as a single class at the special meeting, is required.
|
In determining whether the proposal to approve and adopt the merger agreement has received the requisite number of affirmative votes at
the special meeting, a failure to vote, an abstention or broker non-vote will be treated the same as a
NO
vote. Failures to vote, abstentions or broker non-votes will not count as votes cast and will have no effect for
purposes of determining whether the proposal to adjourn or postpone the special meeting has been approved.
Q:
|
Will I be able to sell the shares of City Holding common stock that I receive in the merger?
|
A:
|
Yes. The shares of City Holding common stock to be issued in the merger will be registered under the Securities Act of 1933 and listed on the Nasdaq Global Select
Market.
|
Q:
|
What must shareholders do to elect to receive cash, City Holding common stock or a combination of cash and City Holding common stock?
|
A:
|
To elect to receive cash, City Holding common stock or a combination of cash and City Holding common stock for your Virginia Bancorp stock, you must indicate in the
place provided on the election form, which you have received with this mailing, the election to which you prefer, sign the form, and return the form in the envelope provided so that it is received prior to 5:00 p.m. Eastern time on
, 2012, which we refer to as the election deadline.
|
You will be able to make one of the following elections on the election form:
|
|
|
To elect to receive cash with respect to all of your shares of Virginia Bancorp stock (a cash election);
|
|
|
|
To elect to receive shares of City Holding common stock with respect to all of your shares of Virginia Bancorp stock (a stock election);
|
|
|
|
To elect to receive a combination of City Holding common stock and cash for your shares of Virginia Bancorp stock (a stock/cash election);
or
|
|
|
|
To indicate that you make no election, and thus have no preference, with respect to your shares of Virginia Bancorp stock (a non-election).
|
If you do not submit an election form prior to the election deadline, you will be deemed to have indicated
that you are making no election, and thus have no preference, with respect to your shares of Virginia Bancorp stock. See Cash Election, Stock Election or Stock/Cash Election; Surrender of Stock Certificates beginning on page
.
Q:
|
Can I revoke or change my election after I mail my form of election?
|
A:
|
Yes. You may revoke or change your election at any time before the election deadline. You can do this by sending a written notice of such revocation or change in your
election to the exchange agent at the address contained on the election form.
|
If you revoke your election form
and then do not re-submit an election form that is timely, you will be deemed to have indicated that you are making no election with respect to your shares of Virginia Bancorp stock.
4
Q:
|
Are shareholders guaranteed to receive the amount of stock or cash that they request on their election form?
|
A:
|
No. The merger agreement provides that 60% of the outstanding shares of Virginia Bancorp stock will be exchanged for City Holding common stock and 40% will be exchanged
for cash, but in no event will more than 240,000 shares of City Holding common stock be issued nor more than $4,689,920 in cash (excluding any cash paid in lieu fractional shares) be paid to holders of Virginia Bancorp stock. It is possible,
therefore, that if you elect to receive cash or stock, you could receive a different proportion of cash or stock than you elected. City Holding will make any allocation adjustments after the closing of the merger, based on the election forms that
were timely received.
|
If the total number of shares of Virginia Bancorp stock with respect to which a stock
election has been made (which we refer to as the stock election shares) is greater than 60% of the difference obtained by subtracting the total number of stock/cash election shares from the total number Virginia Bancorp shares
outstanding (the Stock Percentage Number), reallocations will be made to the stock election shares so that no more than 60% of the outstanding shares of Virginia Bancorp stock is converted to City Holding common stock. If the total
number of stock election shares is less than the Stock Percentage Number, reallocations will be made so that no less than 60% of the outstanding shares of Virginia Bancorp stock are converted into City Holding common stock.
Q:
|
If I make an election to receive cash, under what circumstances will my election be reallocated?
|
A:
|
Because the merger agreement provides that the total number of shares of Virginia Bancorp stock converted into City Holding common stock must be 60% of the total number
of shares of Virginia Bancorp stock outstanding at the effective time of the merger, your cash election may be reallocated if the number of stock election shares is less than the Stock Percentage Number. In that circumstance, if the shortfall of
required stock election shares (which is the difference between the number of stock election shares and the Stock Percentage Number) is less than the total number of non-election shares, then the shareholders who did not make an election will
receive cash and City Holding common stock in a combination necessary to reach the 60% stock number, and the shareholders who made a cash election will receive the cash consideration. If the shortfall of required stock elections exceeds the total
number of non-election shares, then shareholders who made a cash election will receive a combination of cash and City Holding common stock following a pro rata adjustment of all elections for cash in order to reach the 60% stock number.
|
Q:
|
If I make an election to receive stock, under what circumstances will my election be reallocated?
|
A:
|
Because the merger agreement provides that the total number of shares of Virginia Bancorp stock converted into shares of City Holding common stock must be 60% of the
total number of shares of Virginia Bancorp stock outstanding at the effective time of the merger, your stock election may be reallocated if the total number of stock election shares is greater than the Stock Percentage Number. In that circumstance,
if the excess of required stock election shares (which is the difference between the Stock Percentage Number and the number of stock election shares) is less than the total number of non-election shares, then the shareholders who did not make an
election will receive cash and City Holding common stock in a combination necessary to keep within the 60% stock limitation, and the shareholders who made a stock election will receive the stock consideration. If the excess of required stock
election shares is greater than the total number of non-election shares, then shareholders who made a stock election will receive a combination of cash and City Holding common stock following a pro rata adjustment of all elections for stock as
necessary to keep within the 60% stock limitation.
|
Q:
|
What happens if I do not make an election?
|
A:
|
If the total number of stock election shares is less than the Stock Percentage Number, and the shortfall number (which is the difference between the
number of stock election shares and the Stock Percentage
|
5
|
Number) is less than the number of non-election shares, your non-election shares will be converted into the right to receive a certain number of shares of City Holding common stock and cash in
order to reach the 60% stock number. If the shortfall exceeds the number of non-election shares, then your non-election shares will be converted into the right to receive City Holding common stock.
|
If the total number of stock election shares is more than the Stock Percentage Number, and the excess of required stock election shares
(which is the difference between the Stock Percentage Number and the number of stock election shares) is less than the number of non-election shares, your non-election shares will be converted into the right to receive a certain number of shares of
City Holding common stock and cash to keep within the 60% stock limitation. If the excess of required stock election shares is greater than the number of non-election shares, your non-election shares will be converted into the right to receive the
cash consideration.

The Merger (page )
We have attached the merger agreement to this proxy statement/prospectus as Annex A. We encourage you to read the merger agreement. It is
the legal document that governs the merger.
In the merger, City Holding will acquire Virginia Bancorp by means of the merger
of Virginia Bancorp with and into City Holding. City Holding will be the surviving entity in the merger.
For each share of
Virginia Bancorp stock that you own, you will have the right to receive (at your election, subject to certain allocation and proration procedures):
|
|
|
0.2100 shares of City Holding common stock;
|
|
|
|
0.1260 shares of City Holding common stock and $2.47 in cash.
|
Your election is subject to the limitation that 60% of the outstanding shares of Virginia Bancorp stock will be exchanged for City
Holding common stock and 40% of the outstanding shares of Virginia Bancorp stock will be exchanged for cash, provided that no more than 240,000 shares of City Holding common stock will be issued nor more than $4,689,920 in cash (excluding any cash
paid in lieu of fractional shares) will be paid in the merger.
To elect to receive cash and/or City Holding common stock for
any and all of your shares of Virginia Bancorp stock, you must indicate in the place provided on the election form, which you have received in this mailing, the form of consideration you wish to receive for your Virginia Bancorp stock, sign the

|
|

|
|
|
|
To elect to receive cash with respect to all of your shares of Virginia Bancorp stock;
|
|
|
|
To elect to receive a combination of cash and City Holding common stock for your shares of Virginia Bancorp stock; or
|
|
|
|
To indicate that you make no election, and thus have no preference, with respect to your shares of Virginia Bancorp stock.
|
If you do not submit an election form prior to the election deadline, you will be deemed to have indicated
that you are making no election, and thus have no preference, with respect to your shares of Virginia Bancorp stock.
8
If too many stock elections are made such that the number of stock election shares is
greater than 60% of the difference obtained by subtracting the total number of stock/cash election shares from the total number of Virginia Bancorp shares outstanding, reallocations will be made, first to non-elections and then to stock elections,
so that no more than 60% of the outstanding shares of Virginia Bancorp stock are converted into City Holding common stock. If too few stock elections are made such that stock election shares represent less than 60% of the difference obtained by
subtracting the total number of stock/cash election shares from the total number of Virginia Bancorp shares outstanding, reallocations will be made, first to non-elections and then to cash elections, so that no less than 60% of the outstanding
shares of Virginia Bancorp stock are converted into City Holding common stock.
Shareholders will not
receive any fractional shares of City Holding common stock. Instead, they will receive cash, without interest, for any fractional share of City Holding common stock that they might otherwise have been entitled to receive based on the average of the
per share closing price of City Holding common stock as reported on the Nasdaq Global Select Market during the 10 trading days immediately preceding the 10
th
calendar day immediately preceding the effective date of the merger.
Upon completion of the merger, we expect that City Holding shareholders will own approximately % of the combined
company and former Virginia Bancorp shareholders will own approximately % of the combined company.
The market price of City Holding common stock will fluctuate prior to the merger. You should obtain current stock price quotations for
City Holding common stock.
Our Reasons for the Merger (page )
Virginia Bancorps board of directors is proposing the merger because, among other reasons:
|
|
|
the per share value of the merger consideration to Virginia Bancorps shareholders and the fact that up to 40% of the merger consideration will be
in the form of cash;
|
|
|
|
the merger allows Virginia Bancorps shareholders who elect to become shareholders of City Holding to be part owner of a larger, more diversified
financial services institution;
|
|
|
|
the merger with City Holding will minimize customer disruption and job loss as City Holding does not have any offices in Virginia; and
|
|
|
|
City Holding currently pays a cash dividend on its common stock, while Virginia Bancorp does not and is not likely to be able to pay a cash dividend to
shareholders in the near future.
|
Our Recommendation (page )
Virginia Bancorps board of directors believes that the merger is fair to and in the best interests of Virginia
Bancorps shareholders. Virginia Bancorps board of directors unanimously recommends that shareholders vote FOR the proposal to approve and adopt the merger agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby. For the factors
considered by Virginia Bancorps board of directors in reaching its decision to approve the merger agreement, see the section entitled Proposal One: Approval of the MergerVirginia Bancorps Reasons for the Merger;
Recommendation of the Virginia Bancorp Board of Directors.
Opinion of Virginia Bancorps Financial
Advisor (page and Annex B)
Scott & Stringfellow, LLC delivered a written opinion to the
Virginia Bancorp board of directors that, as of March 14, 2012, the merger consideration to be received by the shareholders of Virginia Bancorp, was fair, from a
9
financial point of view, to Virginia Bancorp and its shareholders. We have attached this opinion to this proxy statement/prospectus as Annex B. You should read this opinion completely to
understand the assumptions made, matters considered and limitations of the review undertaken by Scott & Stringfellow in providing its opinion. The opinion of Scott & Stringfellow has not been updated prior to the date of this proxy
statement/prospectus and does not reflect any change in circumstances after March 14, 2012.
Scott &
Stringfellows opinion as to the fairness, from a financial point of view, of the merger consideration to Virginia Bancorp and its shareholders was provided to the Virginia Bancorp board of directors in connection with its evaluation of the
merger consideration from a financial point of view, and does not address any other aspect of the merger and does not constitute a recommendation to any Virginia Bancorp shareholder as to how to vote or act with respect to the merger.
Appraisal Rights (page )
Under Virginia law, holders of Virginia Bancorp stock may exercise appraisal rights and, if the merger is consummated and all requirements
of Virginia law are satisfied by holders seeking to exercise such rights, may receive payment equal to the fair value of their shares of Virginia Bancorp stock, determined in the manner set forth under Virginia law. The procedures which must be
followed in connection with the exercise of appraisal rights by shareholders are described in this proxy statement/prospectus under Proposal One: Approval of the MergerAppraisal Rights and in Article 15, Sections
13.1-729 through 13.1-741.1 of the Virginia Stock Corporation Act, a copy of which is attached as Annex C to this proxy statement/prospectus. A shareholder seeking to exercise appraisal rights must deliver to Virginia Bancorp, before the shareholder
vote on the merger agreement at the special meeting, a written objection to the merger stating that he or she intends to demand payment for his or her shares through the exercise of his or her statutory appraisal rights and must not vote his or her
shares in favor of the merger agreement. Failure to take any required step in connection with the exercise of appraisal rights may result in termination or waiver such rights.
Accounting Treatment (page )
City Holding will account for the merger as a business combination as that term is used under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
Certain Federal Income Tax Consequences (page )
The merger is intended to qualify as a tax-free reorganization for federal income tax purposes, and assuming the merger will so qualify, you will not recognize any gain or loss for U.S. federal income tax
purposes as a result of your exchange of shares of Virginia Bancorp stock solely for shares of City Holding common stock. Virginia Bancorp shareholders may, however, have to recognize income or gain in connection with the receipt of any cash
received in the merger. Because this tax treatment may not apply to all of Virginia Bancorps shareholders, you should consult your own tax advisor for a full understanding of the mergers tax consequences that are particular to you. It is
a condition to our obligation to complete the merger that we receive a legal opinion that the merger will be treated for federal income tax purposes as a reorganization within the meaning of Section 368 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as
amended. This opinion, however, will not bind the Internal Revenue Service, which could take a different view.
Shareholders
will also be required to file certain information with their federal income tax returns and to retain certain records with regard to the merger.
The discussion of U.S. federal income tax consequences set forth above is for general information only and does not purport to be a complete analysis or listing of all potential tax effects that may
apply to a
10
holder of Virginia Bancorp stock. Shareholders of Virginia Bancorp are strongly urged to consult their tax advisors to determine the particular tax consequences to them of the merger, including
the application and effect of federal, state, local, foreign and other tax laws.

The Shareholder Meeting (page )
The special meeting will be held on , 2012 at
.m. at
. At the
special meeting, you will be asked:
|
|
|
to approve the merger agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby (See Proposal One: Approval of the Merger); and
|
|
|
|
to consider and vote upon a proposal to adjourn the special meeting to a later date or dates, if necessary, to permit further solicitation of proxies
in the event that there are not sufficient votes at the time of the meeting to approve the merger agreement (See Proposal Two: Adjournment of the Meeting).
|
11
Record Date; Vote Required (page )
You can vote at the special meeting if you owned shares of Virginia Bancorp stock at the close of business on
, 2012, which is the record date for the special meeting. On the record date, Virginia Bancorp had approximately
shares of Virginia Bancorp common stock outstanding and entitled to vote and
shares of Virginia Bancorp preferred stock outstanding and entitled to vote. You can cast one vote for each share of Virginia Bancorp stock that you
owned on that date.
The presence, in person or by proxy, of the holders of a majority of the aggregate number of outstanding
shares of Virginia Bancorp common stock and Virginia Bancorp preferred stock entitled to vote is necessary to constitute a quorum for the special meeting. Abstentions and broker non-votes are counted as present and entitled to vote for
purposes of determining a quorum. A broker non-vote occurs when a nominee holding shares for a beneficial owner does not vote on a particular proposal because the nominee does not have discretionary voting power for that particular item
and has not received instructions from the beneficial owner. Although brokers have discretionary power to vote your shares of Virginia Bancorp stock with respect to routine matters (which holders of Virginia Bancorp preferred stock may be excluded
from voting on), they do not have discretionary power to vote your shares of Virginia Bancorp stock on non-routine matters. Both proposals are non-routine and therefore your broker will not be able to vote your shares of Virginia Bancorp stock with
respect to either proposal unless the broker received appropriate instructions from you.
Approval and adoption of the merger
agreement by Virginia Bancorp shareholders requires the affirmative vote of more than two-thirds of all votes entitled to be cast at the special meeting by the holders of Virginia Bancorp common stock and Virginia Bancorp preferred stock, voting
together as a single class.
Approval of the adjournment of the special meeting requires the affirmative vote of a majority of
the votes cast by the holders of Virginia Bancorp common stock and Virginia Bancorp preferred stock, voting as a single class, at the special meeting.
In determining whether either proposal has received the requisite number of affirmative votes, failures to vote, abstentions and broker non-votes will be treated the same as a NO
vote for the merger proposal but will be disregarded and have no effect on the adjournment proposal.
As of the record date,
Virginia Bancorps directors and executive officers had the right to vote shares of Virginia Bancorp common stock and
shares of Virginia Bancorp preferred stock, or % of the outstanding shares of Virginia Bancorp stock entitled to vote at the
special meeting. The Virginia Bancorp directors have indicated that they plan to vote all of the shares of Virginia Bancorp stock that they own for approval of the merger agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby, and have entered into an
agreement with City Holding obligating them to do so. In addition, each of the Virginia Bancorp directors has agreed not to make any transfers of Virginia Bancorp stock until after the special meeting.

|
We cannot be certain when, or if, the conditions to the merger will be satisfied or waived, or
that the merger will be completed.
Regulatory Approvals (page )
The merger and the other transactions contemplated by the merger agreement require the approval of the Board of Governors of the Federal
Reserve System (the Federal Reserve) and the Virginia Bureau of Financial Institutions. As a bank holding company, City Holding is subject to regulation under the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956, as amended. City National is a national
banking association and is subject to the laws of the United States. City Holding has filed all required applications seeking approval of the merger with the Federal Reserve and the Virginia Bureau of Financial Institutions. City National and
Virginia Savings have also applied with the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency for approval of the merger of Virginia Savings into City National.
As of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus, no regulatory approvals have been received. While City Holding and Virginia Bancorp do not know of any reason why necessary regulatory approvals would
not be obtained in a timely manner, we cannot be certain when or if we will receive them, or if obtained, whether they will contain terms, conditions or restrictions not currently contemplated that will be detrimental to City Holding after
completion of the merger.
Termination of the Merger Agreement (page )
Virginia Bancorp and City Holding may mutually agree to terminate the merger agreement at any time.
Either Virginia Bancorp or City Holding may terminate the merger agreement if any of the following occurs:

the party seeking to terminate; or
|
|
|
|
the approval of any governmental entity required for consummation of the merger is denied or the shareholders of Virginia Bancorp do not approve the

City Holding may terminate the merger agreement if any of the following occurs:
|
|
|

of written notice of the breach; or
|
|
|

modifies its recommendation in a manner adverse to City Holding.
|
Virginia Bancorp may terminate the
merger agreement under any of the following circumstances:
|
|
|
City Holding materially breaches any of its representations or obligations under the merger agreement and does not cure the breach within 30 days of
written notice of the breach;
|
|
|
|
The price of City Holding common stock declines by more than 20% over a designated measurement period and the stock prices of the banks and bank
holding companies included on the Nasdaq Bank Index have not collectively experienced a similar decline during the same period, unless City Holding elects to increase the consideration to be paid to Virginia Bancorp shareholders (which it is not
obligated to do); or
|
|
|
|
Virginia Bancorp enters into an agreement with respect to an unsolicited acquisition proposal that if consummated would result in a transaction more
favorable to Virginia Bancorps shareholders from a financial point of view than the merger, provided that Virginia Bancorp pays the termination fee described below.
|
Effect of Termination; Termination Fee (page )
Virginia Bancorp must pay City Holding a termination fee of $650,000 if the merger agreement is terminated under the following circumstances:
|
|
|
by City Holding if the Virginia Bancorp board of directors fails to recommend approval of the merger agreement or withdraws, modifies or changes its
recommendation of approval of the merger agreement in a manner adverse to the interests of City Holding;
|
|
|
|
by Virginia Bancorp if it enters into an agreement with respect to an unsolicited acquisition proposal that would result in a transaction more
favorable to Virginia Bancorps shareholders from a financial point of view than the merger; or
|
|
|
|
by Virginia Bancorp or City Holding due to the failure of Virginia Bancorp to receive shareholder approval of the merger agreement, and if an
acquisition proposal is publicly announced prior to the special meeting and within 12 months after the announcement of the acquisition proposal a change in control of Virginia Bancorp is consummated.
|
No Solicitation (page )
Virginia Bancorp has agreed that it will not directly or indirectly:
|
|
|
solicit or encourage inquiries or proposals with respect to any acquisition proposal other than the merger; or
|
|
|
|
engage in any negotiations or discussions concerning, or provide any confidential information relating to, an acquisition proposal other than the
merger.
|
The merger agreement does not, however, prohibit Virginia Bancorp from considering an acquisition
proposal from a third party if certain specified conditions are met.
14
Waiver and Amendment (page )
Virginia Bancorp and City Holding may jointly amend the merger agreement, and each party may waive its right to require the other party to
adhere to the terms and conditions of the merger agreement. However, the parties may not amend the merger agreement after Virginia Bancorps shareholders approve the merger agreement if the amendment or waiver would violate applicable law.
Interests of Certain Persons in the Merger (page )
When considering the recommendation of the Virginia Bancorp board, you should be aware that some Virginia Bancorp directors and officers
have interests in the merger that differ from, or are in addition to, the interests of other Virginia Bancorp shareholders. The members of the Virginia Bancorp board of directors knew about these additional interests and considered them when they
approved the merger agreement and the merger.
Indemnification and Insurance.
City
Holding has agreed to indemnify the officers and directors of Virginia Bancorp against certain liabilities arising before the merger for a period of six years after the merger. City Holding has also agreed to use its reasonable best efforts to cause
the directors and officers of Virginia Bancorp to be covered by a directors and officers liability policy maintained by City Holding for three years after the merger, subject to a cap on the annual premium payments equal to 150% of
Virginia Bancorps current annual premium.
Employment Arrangement; Non-Compete and
Non-Solicitation Agreement.
Under the terms of the merger agreement and in connection with the closing of the merger, W. Michael Funk, President and Chief Executive Officer of Virginia Bancorp and Virginia Savings, will enter into a
Non-Compete and Non-Solicitation Agreement with City Holding and City National under which he will continue serving Virginia Savings and its successor, City National, for a period of up to six months after the merger and will receive a monthly
salary equal to the salary paid by Virginia Savings to him for the month of September 2011. During this period, Mr. Funk will assist City National in merger transition matters. Pursuant to the terms of the Non-Compete and Non-Solicitation
Agreement, Mr. Funk will agree not to compete with City Nationals banking business for a two-year period beginning on the effective date of the merger. The Non-Compete and Non-Solicitation Agreement will supercede and extinguish any
existing employment agreements and other contracts that Mr. Funk has with Virginia Bancorp or Virginia Savings, including the Employment Agreement and the Change in Control Employment Agreement each dated January 1, 2005, the effect of
which is that Mr. Funk will receive no severance or other payments under such agreements. As consideration therefor, Mr. Funk will receive a payment from City National of $478,400 to be paid, at his option, in a lump sum within 10 days of
the effective date of the merger or at such times and amounts as mutually agreed upon among the parties. City National also will provide health insurance through its company plan for Mr. Funk and his spouse, at no cost to him, for three years
beginning on the day after he is no longer employed by the bank.
Potential Payments Under
Change in Control Agreement.
Mr. Funk has an existing agreement with Virginia Bancorp that becomes effective upon a change in control of Virginia Bancorp and would replace the current employment agreement he has with Virginia Bancorp
upon a change in control. Under the terms of the Change in Control Employment Agreement, Virginia Bancorp or its successor would continue to employ Mr. Funk for a term of three years after the date of a change in control. During the term of the
contract, Mr. Funk is to retain commensurate authority and responsibilities and compensation benefits, and is to receive a base salary at least equal to the immediate year in which the change in control occurs and a bonus at least equal to the
highest bonus paid to him in any of the two years prior to the change in control. If Mr. Funks employment is terminated during the three years after the change in control other than for cause or disability (as
defined in the agreement), or if Mr. Funk should terminate his employment (i) because a material term of his contract is breached by Virginia Bancorp or its successor or (ii) through his voluntary termination during the 90-day period
15
following the one-year anniversary of the change in control, he is entitled to a lump sum payment equal to 2.99 times the sum of his base salary, annual bonus and equivalent benefits. Assuming a
termination under such circumstances at December 31, 2011, following a change in control of Virginia Bancorp, the approximate payments to Mr. Funk would have been approximately $478,400 (without taking into account any gross-up payments
that may be triggered and health and other insurance payments). Mr. Funk will enter into the above-described Non-Compete and Non-Solicitation Agreement with City Holding that will be effective upon consummation of the merger and will supersede
and terminate his existing Employment Agreement and Change in Control Employment Agreement with Virginia Bancorp and any severance payments due thereunder in connection with the merger.
Comparison of the Rights of Shareholders (page )
The rights of City Holding shareholders are governed by West Virginia law and by City Holdings articles of incorporation and bylaws. The rights of Virginia Bancorp shareholders are governed by
Virginia law and by Virginia Bancorps articles of incorporation and bylaws. Upon completion of the merger, the rights of City Holding shareholders, including former shareholders of Virginia Bancorp who become shareholders of City Holding, will
be governed by West Virginia law and the articles of incorporation and bylaws of City Holding.

statement/prospectus contains a comparison of shareholder rights under each of the City Holding and Virginia Bancorp governing documents.

The exchange ratio is set at 0.2100 shares of City Holding common stock for each share of Virginia Bancorp stock for those choosing an all stock election and 0.1260 shares of City Holding common stock for
each share of Virginia Bancorp stock for those choosing a combined stock/cash election. Because the exchange ratios are fixed, the value of the shares of City Holding common stock that will be issued to you in the merger will depend on the market
price of City Holding common stock at the time the shares are issued. After the merger, the market value of City Holding common stock may decrease and be lower than the market value of City Holding common stock that was used in calculating the
exchange ratios in the merger. Except as described in this proxy statement/prospectus and the merger agreement, there will be no adjustment to the fixed number of shares of City Holding common stock that will be issued to you based upon changes in
the market price of City Holding common stock prior to the closing.
The market price of City Holding common stock at the time
the merger is completed may vary from the price of City Holding common stock on the date the merger agreement was executed, on the date of this proxy statement/prospectus and on the date of the special meeting as a result of various factors that are
beyond the control of City Holding and Virginia Bancorp, including but not limited to general market and economic conditions, changes in our respective businesses, operations and prospects, and regulatory considerations. In addition to the approval
of the merger agreement by Virginia Bancorp shareholders, completion of the merger is subject to receipt of required regulatory approvals and satisfaction of other conditions that may not occur until after the special meeting. Therefore, at the time
of the special meeting you will not know the precise value of the consideration you will receive at the effective time of the merger. You should obtain current market quotations for shares of City Holding common stock.
The market price of City Holding common stock after the merger may be affected by factors different from those affecting the shares of
Virginia Bancorp or City Holding currently.
Upon completion of the merger, certain holders of shares of Virginia Bancorp
stock will become holders of City Holding common stock. City Holdings business differs from that of Virginia Bancorp, and, accordingly, the results of operations of the combined company and the market price of the combined companys
shares of common stock may be affected by factors different from those currently affecting the independent results of operations of each of City Holding and Virginia Bancorp and their respective securities. For a discussion of the business of City
Holding and of certain factors to consider in connection with that business, see the documents incorporated by reference or described elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus.
The merger agreement limits Virginia Bancorps ability to pursue alternatives to the merger.
The merger agreement contains no-shop provisions that, subject to limited exceptions, limit Virginia Bancorps ability to
discuss, facilitate or commit to competing third-party proposals to acquire all or a significant part of Virginia Bancorp. In addition, Virginia Bancorp must pay City Holding a termination fee of $650,000 if the merger agreement is terminated and
Virginia Bancorp, subject to certain restrictions, consummates another
17
similar transaction. These provisions might discourage a potential competing acquiror that might have an interest in acquiring all or a significant part of Virginia Bancorp from considering or
proposing the acquisition even if it were prepared to pay consideration with a greater value than that proposed in the merger.
The integration of the operations of City Holding and Virginia Bancorp may be more difficult than anticipated.
The success of the merger will depend on a number of factors, including (but not limited to) City Holdings ability to:
|
|
|
timely and successfully integrate the operations of City Holding and Virginia Bancorp;
|
|
|
|
retain key employees of City Holding and Virginia Bancorp;
|
|
|
|
maintain existing relationships with depositors in Virginia Savings to minimize withdrawals of deposits prior to and subsequent to the merger;
|
|
|
|
maintain and enhance existing relationships with borrowers to limit unanticipated losses from loans of Virginia Savings;
|
|
|
|
retain and attract qualified personnel at City Holding and Virginia Bancorp; and
|
|
|
|
compete effectively in the communities served by City Holding and Virginia Bancorp and in nearby communities.
|
City Holding may not be able to manage effectively its growth resulting from the merger.
Regulatory approvals may not be received, may take longer than expected or impose conditions that are not presently anticipated.
Before the merger may be completed, we must obtain various approvals or consents from various bank regulatory and other
authorities. These regulators may impose conditions on the completion of the merger or require changes to the terms of the merger. Although City Holding and Virginia Bancorp do not currently expect that any such conditions or changes would be
imposed, there can be no assurance that they will not be, and such conditions or changes could have the effect of delaying completion of the merger or imposing additional costs on or limiting the revenues of City Holding following the merger. There
can be no assurance as to whether the regulatory approvals will be received, the timing of those approvals, or whether any conditions will be imposed. See Proposal One: Approval of the MergerRegulatory Approvals on
page .
Combining the two companies may be more difficult, costly or time-consuming than
expected.
City Holding and Virginia Bancorp have operated and, until the completion of the merger, will continue to
operate, independently. The success of the merger will depend on City Holdings ability to successfully combine the businesses of City Holding and Virginia Bancorp. To realize these anticipated benefits, after the completion of the merger, City
Holding expects to integrate Virginia Bancorps business into its own. It is possible that the integration process could result in the loss of key employees, the disruption of each companys ongoing businesses or inconsistencies in
standards, controls, procedures and policies that adversely affect the combined companys ability to maintain relationships with clients, customers, depositors and employees or to achieve the anticipated benefits of the merger. The loss of key
employees could adversely affect City Holdings ability to successfully conduct its business in the markets in which Virginia Bancorp now operates, which could have an adverse effect on City Holdings financial results and the value of its
common stock. If City Holding experiences difficulties with the integration process, the anticipated benefits of the merger may not be realized fully or at all, or may take longer to realize than expected. As with any merger of financial
institutions, there also may be business disruptions that cause Virginia Bancorp to lose customers or cause customers to remove their accounts from Virginia Bancorp and move their business to competing financial institutions. Integration efforts
between
18
the two companies will also divert management attention and resources. These integration matters could have an adverse effect on each of Virginia Bancorp and City Holding during this transition
period and for an undetermined period after consummation of the merger.
The merger with Virginia Bancorp may distract
management of City Holding from its other responsibilities.
The acquisition of Virginia Bancorp could cause the management
of City Holding to focus its time and energies on matters related to the acquisition that otherwise would be directed to the business and operations of City Holding. Any such distraction on the part of management, if significant, could affect its
ability to service existing business and develop new business and adversely affect the business and earnings of City Holding.
Virginia Bancorps shareholders will have less influence as shareholders of City Holding than as shareholders of Virginia
Bancorp.
Virginia Bancorps shareholders currently have the right to vote in the election of the board of directors
of Virginia Bancorp and on other matters affecting Virginia Bancorp. Following the merger, the shareholders of Virginia Bancorp as a group will own approximately % of City Holding. When the merger occurs, each shareholder
that receives shares of City Holding common stock will become a shareholder of City Holding with a percentage ownership of the combined organization much smaller than such shareholders percentage ownership of Virginia Bancorp. Because of this,
Virginia Bancorps shareholders will have less influence on the management and policies of City Holding than they now have on the management and policies of Virginia Bancorp.
The fairness opinion obtained by Virginia Bancorp from its financial advisor will not reflect changes in circumstances between signing
the merger agreement and the completion of the merger.
Virginia Bancorp has not obtained an updated fairness opinion as of
the date of this proxy statement/prospectus from Scott & Stringfellow, Virginia Bancorps financial advisor. Changes in the operations and prospects of Virginia Bancorp or City Holding, general market and economic conditions and other
factors that may be beyond the control of Virginia Bancorp and City Holding, and on which the fairness opinion was based, may alter the value of Virginia Bancorp or City Holding or the prices of shares of Virginia Bancorp stock or City Holding
common stock by the time the merger is completed. The opinion does not speak as of the time the merger will be completed or as of any date other than the date of such opinion. Because Virginia Bancorp does not anticipate asking its financial advisor
to update its opinion, the March 14, 2012 opinion does not address the fairness of the merger consideration, from a financial point of view, at the time the merger is completed. The opinion is included as Annex B to this proxy statement/prospectus.
For a description of the opinion that Virginia Bancorp received from its financial advisor, please refer to Proposal One: Approval of the MergerOpinion of Virginia Bancorps Financial Advisor on page
. For a description of the other factors considered by Virginia Bancorps board of directors in determining to approve the merger, please refer to Proposal One: Approval of the MergerVirginia
Bancorps Reasons for the Merger, Recommendation of the Virginia Bancorp Board of Directors on page .
If the merger does not constitute a reorganization under Section 368(a) of the Code, then Virginia Bancorp shareholders may be responsible for payment of U.S. federal income taxes.
The U.S. Internal Revenue Service, or IRS, may determine that the merger does not qualify as a tax-free reorganization under
Section 368(a) of the Internal Revenue Code. In that case, each Virginia Bancorp shareholder would recognize a gain or loss equal to the difference between (i) the fair market value of the City Holding common stock and cash received by the
shareholder in the merger and (ii) the shareholders adjusted tax basis in the shares of Virginia Bancorp stock exchanged therefor.
19
Future issuances of common stock by City Holding in connection with acquisitions or
otherwise could dilute your ownership of City Holding.
City Holding may use its common stock to acquire other companies or
to make investments in banks and other complementary businesses in the future. It may also issue common stock, or securities convertible into common stock, through public or private offerings, in order to raise additional capital in connection with
future acquisitions, to satisfy regulatory capital requirements or for general corporate purposes. Any such stock issuances would dilute your ownership interest in City Holding and may dilute the per share value of the common stock.
City Holding is not obligated to pay cash dividends on its common stock.
City Holding is a holding company and, currently, its sole source of funds for paying dividends to its shareholders is dividends it
receives from City National. While City Holding currently pays quarterly cash dividends to holders of its common stock, it is not obligated to pay dividends in any particular amounts or at any particular times. Its decision to pay dividends in the
future will depend on a number of factors, including its capital and the availability of funds from which dividends may be paid. See Price Range of Common Stock and Dividends on page and Description of City
Holding Capital Stock on page .
The merger will not be completed unless important conditions
are satisfied.
Specified conditions set forth in the merger agreement must be satisfied or waived to complete the merger.
If the conditions are not satisfied or waived, the merger will not occur or will be delayed and each of City Holding and Virginia Bancorp may lose some or all of the intended benefits of the merger. The following conditions, in addition to other
closing conditions, must be satisfied or waived, if permissible, before City Holding and Virginia Bancorp are obligated to complete the merger:
|
|
|
the merger agreement must be approved by the requisite vote of the shareholders of Virginia Bancorp;
|
|
|
|
all required regulatory approvals must be obtained;
|
|
|
|
there must be an absence of any law or order by a court or regulatory authority that prohibits, restricts or makes illegal the merger;
|
|
|
|
City Holdings registration statement on Form S-4 shall become effective under the Securities Act and no stop order shall have been issued or
threatened by the SEC; and
|
|
|
|
the shares of City Holding common stock to be issued in the merger must be approved for listing on the Nasdaq Global Select Market.
|
Termination of the merger agreement could negatively impact Virginia Bancorp.
If the merger agreement is terminated, there may be various consequences. For example, Virginia Bancorps business may have been
impacted adversely by the failure to pursue other beneficial opportunities due to the focus of management on the merger, without realizing any of the anticipated benefits of completing the merger. If the merger agreement is terminated and Virginia
Bancorps board of directors seeks another merger or business combination, Virginia Bancorp shareholders cannot be certain that Virginia Bancorp will be able to find a party willing to pay the equivalent or greater consideration than that which
City Holding has agreed to pay in the merger. In addition, if the merger agreement is terminated under certain circumstances, including circumstances involving a change in recommendation by Virginia Bancorps board of directors, Virginia
Bancorp may be required to pay City Holding a termination fee of $650,000.

COMPARATIVE HISTORICAL AND PRO FORMA UNAUDITED PER SHARE DATA
We have summarized below historical, unaudited per share information for City Holding and Virginia Bancorp and additional
information as if the companies had been combined for the periods shown, which we refer to as pro forma information. The pro forma information is based upon the total number of shares of Virginia Bancorp stock outstanding as of
, 2011 ( shares), and City Holding
average closing price of $ , the same as the closing price of City Holding common stock on the last trading day preceding the public announcement of the merger, with an exchange ratio of 0.1260 shares
of City Holding common stock for each share of Virginia Bancorp stock. Per share data for Virginia Bancorp was calculated by taking into account both the common stock and preferred stock of Virginia Bancorp. Virginia Bancorp preferred stock has most
of the same attributes of Virginia Bancorp common stock, including voting rights in the case of significant transactions such as the merger.
The Virginia Bancorp pro forma equivalent per share amounts are calculated by multiplying the City Holding pro forma combined book value per share and net income per share by the exchange ratio of 0.1260
so that the per share amounts equate to the respective values for one share of Virginia Bancorp stock.
We expect that both
City Holding and Virginia Bancorp will incur merger and integration charges as a result of the merger. We also anticipate that the merger will provide the combined company with financial benefits that may include reduced operating expenses. The
information set forth below, while helpful in illustrating the financial characteristics of the combined company under one set of assumptions, may not reflect all of these anticipated financial expenses and does not reflect all of these anticipated
financial benefits or consider any potential impacts of current market conditions or the merger or revenues, expense efficiencies, asset dispositions, and share repurchases, among other factors, and, accordingly, does not attempt to predict or
suggest future results. It also does not necessarily reflect what the historical results of the combined company would have been had our companies been combined during the periods presented.
In addition, the information set forth below has been prepared based on preliminary estimates of merger consideration and fair values
attributable to the merger, the actual amounts recorded for the merger may differ from the information presented. The estimation and allocations of merger consideration are subject to change pending further review of the fair value of the assets
acquired and liabilities assumed and actual transaction costs. A final determination of fair values will be based on the actual net tangible and intangible assets and liabilities of Virginia Bancorp that will exist on the date of completion of the
merger.

Recommendation of the Virginia Bancorp Board of Directors
Virginia Bancorps board of directors determined that the merger, the merger agreement and the transactions contemplated by the
merger agreement are advisable and in the best interests of Virginia Bancorp and its shareholders and has unanimously approved the merger and the merger agreement. Virginia Bancorps board of directors unanimously recommends that Virginia
Bancorp shareholders vote
FOR
approval and adoption of the merger agreement and
FOR
the adjournment/postponement proposal. See Proposal One: Approval of the MergerVirginia
Bancorps Reasons for the Merger and Recommendation of the Virginia Bancorp Board of Directors on page for a more detailed discussion of the Virginia Bancorp board of directors
recommendation.
Record Date and Voting Rights; Quorum
We have fixed the close of business on
, 2012, as the record date for the special meeting, and only holders of record of shares of Virginia Bancorp common stock and
Virginia Bancorp preferred stock on the record date are entitled to vote at the special meeting. You are entitled to receive notice of, and to vote at, the special meeting if you owned shares of Virginia Bancorp common stock and Virginia Bancorp
preferred stock at the close of business on the record date. On the record date, there were approximately shares of Virginia Bancorp common stock
outstanding and shares of Virginia Bancorp preferred stock outstanding and entitled to vote. Each share of Virginia Bancorp stock entitles its holder to
one vote on all matters properly coming before the special meeting.
28
The Virginia Bancorp common stock and the Virginia Bancorp preferred stock are separate
classes of stock. However, pursuant to Virginia Bancorps articles of incorporation, on the merger proposal and the adjournment proposal, the shares will vote together as a single class. The presence, in person or by proxy, of the holders of a
majority of the aggregate number of outstanding shares of Virginia Bancorp common stock and Virginia Bancorp preferred stock on the record date and entitled to vote is necessary to constitute a quorum for the special meeting. Shares of Virginia
Bancorp common stock and Virginia Bancorp preferred stock represented at the special meeting but not voted, including shares of common stock or preferred stock for which a shareholder directs an abstention from voting, will be counted
for purposes of establishing a quorum. Broker non-votes will also be counted for determining whether a quorum is present. A quorum is necessary to transact business at the special meeting. Once a share of Virginia Bancorp common stock or Virginia
Bancorp preferred stock is represented at the special meeting, it will be counted for the purpose of determining a quorum at the special meeting and any adjournment/postponement of the special meeting. In the event that a quorum is not present at
the special meeting, it is expected that the special meeting will be adjourned or postponed, although a vote may be taken for a class that does have a quorum present.
Vote Required
If a quorum exists at the special
meeting, approval of the proposal to approve and adopt the merger agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby requires the affirmative vote of more than two-thirds of all votes entitled to be cast by the holders of Virginia Bancorp common
stock and Virginia Bancorp Series A preferred stock, voting together as a single class. For the proposal to approve and adopt the merger agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby, you may vote
FOR
,
AGAINST
or
ABSTAIN
. Abstentions have the effect of a
NO
vote on the proposal to approve and adopt the merger agreement but will count for the purpose of determining
whether a quorum is present. Failures to vote also will have the effect of a
NO
vote on the proposal to approve and adopt the merger agreement.
If your shares of Virginia Bancorp stock are held through a bank, brokerage firm or other nominee, you are considered the beneficial owner of shares of Virginia Bancorp stock held in street
name. In that case, this proxy statement/prospectus has been forwarded to you by your bank, brokerage firm or other nominee who is considered, with respect to those shares of Virginia Bancorp stock, the shareholder of record. As the beneficial
owner, you have the right to direct your bank, brokerage firm or other nominee how to vote your shares by following their instructions for voting.
Banks, brokerage firms or other nominees who hold shares in street name for customers have the authority to vote on routine proposals when they have not received instructions from beneficial
owners. However, banks, brokerage firms or other nominees are precluded from exercising their voting discretion with respect to approving non-routine matters, such as the proposal to approve and adopt the merger agreement and, as a result, absent
specific instructions from the beneficial owner of such shares of Virginia Bancorp stock, banks, brokerage firms or other nominees are not empowered to vote those shares on non-routine matters, which we refer to generally as broker non-votes. These
broker non-votes will be counted for purposes of determining a quorum, but will have the effect of a
NO
vote to approve and adopt the merger agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby.
The proposal to adjourn or postpone the special meeting, if necessary or appropriate, to solicit additional proxies requires the
affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast by the holders of Virginia Bancorp common stock and Virginia Bancorp preferred stock voting as a single class at the special meeting. For the proposal to adjourn or postpone the special meeting, if
necessary or appropriate, you may vote
FOR
,
AGAINST
or
ABSTAIN
. For purposes of this proposal, abstentions and broker non-votes will be disregarded and have no effect on
the outcome of the vote on this proposal but will count for the purpose of determining whether a quorum is present. Failures to vote will have no effect on the outcome of the vote on the adjournment/postponement proposal.
29

32
Background of the Merger
The board of directors and management of Virginia Bancorp have periodically considered various strategic alternatives available to the
company in evaluating its business and plans, including whether Virginia Bancorp should continue as an independent entity or combine with a larger financial institution. These reviews have focused on, among other things, banking industry trends and
conditions, the merger and acquisition environment affecting financial institutions, Virginia Bancorps historical and projected earnings and prospects, Virginia Bancorps competitive position relative to other banks and financial services
institutions, the values that might be obtainable in a business combination transaction with a larger financial institution and the strategic merit of a business combination with a larger financial institution. From time to time over the past
several years, representatives of Virginia Bancorp had preliminary discussions with representatives of other financial institutions concerning the possibility of such a business combination, but none of those preliminary discussions resulted in a
proposal that the board could recommend to shareholders.
In March 2011, senior management of Virginia Bancorp, along with
Virginia Bancorp director J. William Gilliam, held general exploratory discussions with representatives of Scott & Stringfellow, LLC, a recognized investment banking firm, about the business environment for community banks, Virginia
Bancorps strategy and franchise value, and the status of merger and acquisition activity in the financial services industry. As a result of these discussions, senior management of Virginia Bancorp invited Scott & Stringfellow
representatives to attend the regular meeting of the Virginia Bancorp board of directors to be held in April 2011.
On
April 19, 2011, at a meeting of Virginia Bancorps board of directors, Scott & Stringfellow gave a presentation to the board on the various strategic alternatives available to Virginia Bancorp. Scott & Stringfellow
conducted a financial and market overview of Virginia Bancorp, which included comparisons and analysis, aimed at determining the most viable option for Virginia Bancorp, including various alternatives to maximize shareholder value. As part of the
presentation, Scott & Stringfellow provided information on the process of combining with another financial institution, the general business considerations that should be reviewed and the general timing in completing a merger transaction.
The meeting included a discussion of recent bank mergers, and Virginia Bancorps franchise position and value. Scott & Stringfellow informed the board that, in its opinion, the merger and acquisition environment was continuing to
improve and that Virginia Bancorp was well positioned to pursue a merger with a larger financial institution.
The Virginia
Bancorp board, at its May 19, 2011 regular meeting, continued its evaluation of the companys business and strategy. The board further reviewed and discussed the information made available by Scott & Stringfellow at its April 2011
meeting. After this review and discussion, the Virginia Bancorp board approved the engagement of Scott & Stringfellow and authorized Scott & Stringfellow to proceed to identify potential merger partners.
During June and through mid-July 2011, Scott & Stringfellow conducted due diligence on Virginia Bancorp and, with the help of
senior management of Virginia Bancorp, prepared a confidential information memorandum containing financial and operational information about Virginia Bancorp that could be used to solicit interest in a merger transaction with Virginia Bancorp.
Scott & Stringfellow also worked with the senior management of Virginia Bancorp to generate a list of 23 potential merger partners. On July 22, 2011, and on a confidential basis, Scott & Stringfellow began to contact the
parties that had been identified to solicit non-binding indications of interest. From the original 23 potential parties, 10 indicated sufficient interest to sign a confidentiality agreement and three of the parties ultimately provided written,
non-binding indications of interest to Virginia Bancorp during the week of August 8, 2011, each of which was subject to due diligence on Virginia Bancorp.
On August 18, 2011, the Virginia Bancorp board of directors held its regular meeting and reviewed and discussed the three non-binding indications of interest that had been submitted as a result of
the process employed by Scott & Stringfellow. At that meeting, Scott & Stringfellow presented to the Virginia Bancorp board an overview and comparison of the various indications of interest. The overview analyzed the parties and
their indications of interests in three general ways: pricing, past financial performance and non-financial issues
33
such as structure, employee issues and management. Scott & Stringfellow also gave an update on merger and acquisition market conditions in the banking industry, and provided a comparison
of financial data of the interested companies to peer data.
The Virginia Bancorp board considered the proposals from each of
the institutions and evaluated them on the level and form of consideration proposed, the context of the financial institution making the proposal and the expected future operations of Virginia Bancorp. After deliberating on the terms of each
indication of interest, the Virginia Bancorp board determined that the preliminary merger proposal offered by the highest bidder (City Holding) was sufficient enough to initiate merger discussions with City Holding and to allow it to conduct due
diligence. The Virginia Bancorp board of directors determined to put on hold an indication of interest from one bidder and declined the offer from the remaining bidder.
During late August through mid-September 2011, City Holding conducted a business, legal and financial due diligence review of Virginia Bancorp. City Holding reviewed, among other items of Virginia
Bancorps operations, a portion of its loan portfolio and related documentation. Charles R. Skip Hageboeck, City Holdings President and Chief Executive Officer, and Timothy T. Quinlan, Senior Vice PresidentBranch Banking
of City Holding, conducted management interviews with W. Michael Funk, Virginia Bancorps President and Chief Executive Officer, and Noel F. Pilon, Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer of Virginia Bancorp, regarding the general
business and operations of Virginia Bancorp. On August 24, 2011, City Holdings board authorized management to take such actions as necessary to proceed toward a merger with Virginia Bancorp.
On September 21, 2011, after completing its due diligence review of Virginia Bancorp, City Holding delivered a revised and final
written non-binding indication of interest for the acquisition by merger of Virginia Bancorp. City Holding offered a fixed exchange ratio of 0.1493 shares of its common stock and $2.36 in cash for each outstanding share of Virginia Bancorp stock,
which translated into approximately 65% of the merger consideration being in the form of stock and 35% in cash. Based on the 30-day average closing price of City Holding common stock through September 19, 2011, the value of City Holdings
offer of stock and cash was equal to approximately $6.75 for each share of Virginia Bancorp stock. City Holding also placed a condition on the offer that Virginia Bancorps wholly-owned subsidiary, Virginia Savings, would redeem prior to the
closing of the merger all outstanding shares of its Series A convertible preferred stock, the principal aggregate amount of which is $1.0 million. The proposal also contemplated the merger of Virginia Savings with and into City National, the
wholly-owned bank subsidiary of City Holding.
On September 22, 2011, the Virginia Bancorp board held a special meeting
at which representatives of Scott & Stringfellow reviewed and provided their analysis of City Holdings revised non-binding indication of interest. Scott & Stringfellow discussed how the City Holding offer compared to the
merger consideration received by selling financial institutions in recent bank mergers, both nationally and in the Mid-Atlantic region. As a result of the discussion, and having limited time to consider the City Holding proposal, the Virginia
Bancorp board determined to continue its deliberation of the offer at a future meeting.
Virginia Bancorps board of
directors and Scott & Stringfellow continued their discussion of City Holdings final non-binding indication of interest at a special board meeting on September 26, 2011. Various terms of the proposal were considered at the
meeting, including the percentage of the cash and stock portions of the merger consideration relative to the total merger consideration offered by City Holding, and the effect of various mixes of cash and stock consideration on the proposed
aggregate consideration value to Virginia Bancorps shareholders. The board and Scott & Stringfellow also further discussed the strategic options available to Virginia Bancorp. As a result of the discussion at the meeting, the board
requested that Scott & Stringfellow contact City Holding and its financial advisors, Janney Montgomery Scott LLC (Janney), to determine if City Holding would be willing to increase the percentage of cash consideration from 35%
to 45% of the aggregate merger consideration.
34
On September 28, 2011, City Holdings board approved a revised, non-binding
indication of interest increasing the percentage of cash consideration.
On September 30, 2011, the Virginia Bancorp
board held its regular meeting at which representatives of Scott & Stringfellow provided the board with updated information on its discussions with City Holding. Scott & Stringfellow reported that City Holding had agreed to
Virginia Bancorps request to increase the percentage of cash consideration from 35% to 45% of the aggregate merger consideration. As a result, City Holding increased the cash portion of the merger consideration from $2.36 to $3.04 for each
outstanding share of Virginia Bancorp stock. In accepting Virginia Bancorps request, City Holding indicated to Scott & Stringfellow that it wanted to preserve the overall consideration value it had offered in its non-binding
indication of interest and that, as a result, the fixed exchange ratio for the stock portion would be adjusted from 0.1493 shares to 0.1263 shares of City Holdings common stock. After a thorough discussion of City Holdings indication of
interest, the board authorized senior management to proceed towards a merger with City Holding and to begin negotiations leading to a definitive merger agreement.
On October 7, 2011, Brace R. Mullett, City Holdings General Counsel and Senior Vice President, delivered to LeClairRyan, A Professional Corporation, counsel for Virginia Bancorp, an initial
draft merger agreement and related documents.
On October 12, 2011, Messrs. Funk, Gilliam and Pilon of Virginia Bancorp,
and representatives of Scott & Stringfellow and LeClairRyan, met to review the draft merger agreement presented by City Holding. As a result of the discussions at this meeting, Scott & Stringfellow was directed to contact the
senior management of City Holding and Janney to make the request that City Holding revise its offer to include shareholder election options of all stock and all cash for the merger consideration, in addition to the part
stock/part cash offer indicated in the draft merger agreement. Following the meeting, Scott & Stringfellow contacted City Holding and Janney to make such request, and the parties continued negotiating the terms of the merger
agreement.
On October 27, 2011, Mr. Mullett delivered to LeClairRyan a revised draft merger agreement the terms of
which allowed each Virginia Bancorp shareholder to elect to receive in the merger, for each share held, one of the following options: (i) 0.2297 shares of City Holding common stock, (ii) $6.75 in cash or (iii) 0.1263 shares of City
Holding common stock and $3.04 in cash; provided that 55% of the Virginia Bancorp shares would be exchanged for City Holding common stock and 45% would be exchanged for cash, and further subject to City Holding issuing no more that 240,000 shares in
the merger.
In late October and early November, 2011, Virginia Bancorp and City Holding and their respective advisors and
representatives continued negotiating the terms of a definitive merger agreement.
On November 10, 2011, the board of
directors of Virginia Bancorp held a special meeting to discuss with senior management and Virginia Bancorps legal and financial advisors the status of the merger negotiations and to review the proposed merger terms and draft merger agreement.
Management reviewed for the Virginia Bancorp board the progress of its negotiations with City Holding. Representatives of LeClairRyan discussed with the Virginia Bancorp board of directors the legal standards applicable to its decisions and actions
with respect to its consideration of the proposed merger, and reviewed the legal terms of the proposed merger agreement and related transaction agreements. At the meeting, Scott & Stringfellow reviewed with the Virginia Bancorp board of
directors the structure and other terms of the proposed transaction and financial information regarding City Holding, Virginia Bancorp and the transaction, information regarding peer companies and comparable transactions, and other relevant
analyses. In connection with the deliberations by the Virginia Bancorp board, Scott & Stringfellow rendered to the board its oral opinion (subsequently confirmed in writing) that as of such date, the merger consideration to be received by
the shareholders of Virginia Bancorp, was fair, from a financial point of view, to Virginia Bancorp and its shareholders. Scott & Stringfellow and LeClairRyan also responded to questions from the Virginia Bancorp board concerning the
proposed merger and the draft merger agreement and related documents.
35
After the explanatory review of the terms and conditions of the proposed merger agreement
from Virginia Bancorps legal counsel and receiving Scott & Stringfellows presentation and oral opinion, and after review and discussion among members of the Virginia Bancorp board of directors, including consideration of the
factors described in this proxy statement/prospectus under the caption Virginia Bancorps Reasons for the Merger; Recommendation of Virginia Bancorp Board of Directors, the Virginia Bancorp board determined to schedule another
board meeting for November 13th to allow the individual directors time to more closely review the proposed merger agreement and consider whether they had any questions or concerns that had not been adequately addressed prior to or during the
November 10th meeting.
At the special meeting on November 13, 2011, senior management and Virginia Bancorps
legal and financial advisors provided the Virginia Bancorp board with an update on the merger negotiations. LeClairRyan briefed the board on certain aspects of the proposed merger agreement and related documents, including any changes to the merger
agreement from the draft merger agreement previously presented on November 10th. Scott & Stringfellow confirmed and updated its oral opinion delivered on November 10th (subsequently confirmed in writing) to the Virginia Bancorp
board that the merger consideration to be received by the shareholders of Virginia Bancorp, was fair, from a financial point of view, to Virginia Bancorp and its shareholders. After receiving Scott & Stringfellows opinion, and further
discussion of certain terms of the merger, the Virginia Bancorp board determined that the merger with City Holding and the related transactions and agreements were in the best interest of Virginia Bancorp and its shareholders. The board voted
unanimously to approve the proposed merger agreement and related transactions and agreements, and to recommend approval of the merger agreement to the shareholders of Virginia Bancorp.
Following completion of the meeting of the Virginia Bancorp board on November 13, 2011, the merger agreement and related agreements
were placed in final form. On November 14, 2011, representatives of Virginia Bancorp and City Holding met and the parties entered into the merger agreement. Prior to the opening of the stock markets on November 14, 2011, Virginia Bancorp
and City Holding issued a joint press release publicly announcing the proposed merger.
In late November 2011, it was
discovered that during the due diligence process Virginia Bancorp, inadvertently, did not provide City Holding with certain electronic data processing contracts that Virginia Savings has with third party vendors. As a result, while Virginia Bancorp
had provided information on most of its contracts, and their related termination fees and expenses (if any), because of such unintentional non-disclosure City Holding did not have the full information to assess an appropriate merger consideration
for Virginia Bancorp shares prior to entering into the merger agreement. The parties then determined that Virginia Bancorp should contact the vendors to seek specific information regarding the costs and fees that would be incurred by Virginia
Bancorp under the vendor contracts as a result of the merger.
By late December 2011, Virginia Bancorp had received general
information from the vendors with respect to the termination and system deconversion fees and expenses under the vendor contracts. The merger parties learned that the potential aggregate costs for terminating the vendor contracts and related system
deconversion fees would materially exceed the amounts anticipated by and represented to City Holding prior to executing the merger agreement. In early-mid January 2012, the parties agreed that Virginia Bancorps senior management should enter
into negotiations with the third party vendors in an effort to determine the appropriate termination and system deconversion costs under the data processing contracts. From mid-January through February 2012, senior management, along with legal
counsel, held discussions with the third party vendors and negotiated definitive termination and system deconversion fees and expenses relating to the vendor contracts. During this period, senior management of Virginia Bancorp and City Holding
briefed their respective boards of directors concerning the additional costs of terminating the vendor contracts and the impact such costs were having on the merger. Additionally, City Holding determined and informed Virginia Bancorp that, depending
on the outcome of the negotiations between Virginia Bancorp and the third party vendors, and based solely on that issue and not the performance of Virginia Bancorp since the parties announced the merger, it was likely that the merger consideration
to be received by Virginia Bancorp shareholders would be reduced.
36
In late February 2012, based on the progress of the negotiations with Virginia
Bancorps third party vendors, City Holding directed its outside counsel, Jackson Kelly PLLC, to prepare an amendment to the merger agreement to reflect a reduction of the merger consideration to account for the additional costs of terminating
the vendor contracts and system deconversion. Virginia Bancorp engaged in additional negotiations with its third party vendors, and on March 2, 2012, Jackson Kelly delivered an Amendment to the Merger Agreement and Plan of Merger to Virginia
Bancorp. The terms of the amendment specified that each Virginia Bancorp shareholder could elect to receive in the merger, for each share held, one of the following options: (i) 0.2100 shares of City Holding common stock, (ii) $6.17 in cash or (iii)
0.1260 shares of City Holding common stock and $2.47 in cash; provided that 60% of the Virginia Bancorp shares would be exchanged for City Holding common stock and 40% would be exchanged for cash, and further subject to City Holding issuing no more
than 240,000 shares in the merger and paying no more than $4,689,920 in cash.
At a regular meeting on March 8, 2012, senior
management and Virginia Bancorps legal and financial advisors provided the Virginia Bancorp board with an update on the merger and reviewed the Amendment to the Merger Agreement and Plan of Merger as presented by City Holding. In connection
with the deliberations by the Virginia Bancorp board, Scott & Stringfellow rendered to the board its oral opinion (subsequently confirmed in writing) that as of such date, the revised merger consideration to be received by the shareholders of
Virginia Bancorp, was fair, from a financial point of view, to Virginia Bancorp and its shareholders. After receiving Scott & Stringfellows oral opinion, and further discussion of the revised terms of the merger, the Virginia Bancorp board
voted unanimously to approve the proposed Amendment to the Merger Agreement and Plan of Merger, continuing its earlier determination that the merger is in the best interest of Virginia Bancorp and its shareholders. In February 2012, the City Holding
board authorized management of City Holding to negotiate and enter into the Amendment to the Merger Agreement and Plan of Merger. On March 14, 2012, the parties entered into the Amendment to the Merger Agreement and Plan of Merger, and announced the
amended terms of the merger.
Virginia Bancorps Reasons for the Merger; Recommendation of the Virginia
Bancorp Board of Directors
In reaching its decision to adopt and approve the merger agreement and recommend its approval
and the merger to Virginia Bancorps shareholders, the Virginia Bancorp board of directors consulted with senior management, as well as with its outside financial and legal advisors, and reviewed various financial data, due diligence and
evaluation materials. After such consultation and review of information, and considering Virginia Bancorps future prospects and strategic options, the board concluded that partnering with a larger, financially sound financial institution would
better maximize the long-term value of shareholders investments than if Virginia Bancorp remained independent, and it made a determination that the proposed merger with City Holding was in the best interests of Virginia Bancorp and its
shareholders.
The Virginia Bancorp board of directors considered a number of positive factors that it believes support its
recommendation that Virginia Bancorps shareholders approve the merger agreement, including:
|
|
|
the premium over Virginia Bancorps prevailing book value to be received by Virginia Bancorps shareholders, together with the fact that 40%
of the total merger consideration will be in the form of cash;
|
|
|
|
the financial analysis and presentation of Scott & Stringfellow, and its opinion that, as of March 14, 2012, the merger consideration to be
received by the shareholders of Virginia Bancorp was fair, from a financial point of view, to Virginia Bancorp and its shareholders (see Opinion of Virginia Bancorps Financial Advisor);
|
|
|
|
the financial terms of recent business combinations in the financial services industry and a comparison of the multiples paid in selected business
combinations with the terms of the merger;
|
|
|
|
its belief that the merger will create a larger and more diversified organization, with a higher combined legal lending limit, that is better
positioned to compete and grow its business;
|
|
|
|
its knowledge and analysis of the current competitive and regulatory environment for financial institutions generally, Virginia Bancorps current
competitive position and the other potential strategic
|
37
|
alternatives available to Virginia Bancorp, including remaining independent, accelerating branch growth, making acquisitions, developing or acquiring non-bank businesses and selling Virginia
Bancorp to certain other financial institutions;
|
|
|
|
its assessment of the business, earnings, operations, financial condition, capital levels, management and prospects of City Holding, taking into
account the results of Virginia Bancorps due diligence investigation of City Holding;
|
|
|
|
the fact that City Holding does not have any offices in Virginia, which will help minimize customer disruption and job loss resulting from the merger;
|
|
|
|
its belief that City Holding is a high quality financial services company with a compatible business culture and shared approach to customer service
and increasing shareholder value;
|
|
|
|
the fact that the merger will enable Virginia Bancorps shareholders to exchange their shares of Virginia Bancorp, in a tax-free transaction, for
registered shares of a company trading on a recognized stock market, except for any portion of the merger consideration paid in cash for full or fractional shares, thereby providing enhanced liquidity for Virginia Bancorp shareholders to sell their
shares quickly and efficiently, as compared to the lack of liquidity in Virginia Bancorp stock;
|
|
|
|
that City Holding currently pays a cash dividend on its common stock, while Virginia Bancorp does not and is not likely to be able to pay a cash
dividend to its shareholders in the near future; and
|
|
|
|
the assessment of the likelihood that the merger would be completed without unacceptable regulatory conditions or requirements, and the ability of City
Holdings management team to successfully integrate and operate the business of the combined company after the merger.
|
The Virginia Bancorp board also considered the risks and potentially negative factors outlined below, but concluded that the anticipated benefits of combining with City Holding were likely to outweigh
substantially these risks and factors. The risks and factors included:
|
|
|
that the exchange ratio of the stock portion of the merger consideration is fixed, so, if the market price of City Holding common stock decreases to a
price below $29.39 at the time of the consummation of the merger, the economic value of the per share stock consideration to be received by holders of Virginia Bancorp stock also will decrease below $6.17 if electing all stock and to a combined
value of less than $6.17 if electing the mixed considerations option;
|
|
|
|
the merger agreement limiting Virginia Bancorps ability to pursue other merger opportunities;
|
|
|
|
the merger agreement obligating Virginia Bancorp to pay a substantial termination fee if it later chooses to pursue a more attractive uninvited merger
proposal or if the agreement is terminated under certain circumstances;
|
|
|
|
the loss of autonomy associated with being an independent financial institution;
|
|
|
|
the possibility that the merger and the related integration process could result in the loss of key employees, in the disruption of Virginia
Bancorps on-going business and in the loss of customers;
|
|
|
|
the fact that Virginia Bancorps officers and employees will have to focus extensively on actions required to complete the merger, which will
divert their attention from Virginia Bancorps business, and that Virginia Bancorp will incur substantial transaction costs even if the merger is not consummated; and
|
|
|
|
that while the merger is pending, Virginia Bancorp will be subject to certain restrictions on the conduct of its business which may delay or prevent it
from pursuing business opportunities that may arise or preclude it from taking actions that would be advisable if it was to remain independent.
|
38
The foregoing discussion of the factors considered by Virginia Bancorps board of
directors is not intended to be exhaustive, but is believed to include all the material factors considered by Virginia Bancorps board. In view of the wide variety of factors considered in connection with its evaluation of the merger and the
complexity of these matters, the board of directors did not find it useful and did not attempt to quantify or assign any relative or specific weights to the various factors that it considered in reaching its determination to approve the merger and
the merger agreement and recommend that shareholders vote FOR approval of the merger agreement. In addition, individual members of the Virginia Bancorps board of directors may have given differing weights to different factors. The
board of directors conducted an overall analysis of the factors described above, including thorough discussions with, and questioning of, Virginia Bancorps management and its outside financial and legal advisors. The board considered all of
the foregoing factors as a whole and unanimously supported a favorable determination to approve the merger and recommend that shareholders approve the merger agreement.
The above explanation of the Virginia Bancorp boards reasoning and the other information presented in this section is forward-looking in nature and, therefore, should be read in light of the factors
discussed under the heading Forward-Looking Statements.
The Virginia Bancorp board of directors unanimously
determined that the merger, the merger agreement and the transactions contemplated by the merger agreement are in the best interests of Virginia Bancorp and its shareholders and unanimously approved and adopted the merger agreement. The Virginia
Bancorp board unanimously recommends that holders of Virginia Bancorp stock vote
FOR
the approval of the merger agreement and
FOR
the approval to adjourn or postpone the Virginia
Bancorp special meeting, if necessary.
City Holdings Reasons for the Merger
The merger is consistent with City Holdings plan to have operations, offices and distinct capabilities in every market of its choice
within its region. The merger will afford City Holding the opportunity to further expand market share in Martinsburg, West Virginia and enter a new Virginia market in the Front Royal area. City Holding believes that, in addition to expanding City
Holdings presence in very attractive markets, the merger provides an opportunity to enhance City Holdings shareholder value with the prospects of positive long-term performance of City Holdings common stock.
Opinion of Virginia Bancorps Financial Advisor
Scott & Stringfellow, LLC is acting as financial advisor to Virginia Bancorp in connection with the merger. Scott &
Stringfellow is a leading full-service, middle market investment banking firm with substantial experience in transactions similar to the merger and is familiar with Virginia Bancorp and its business. As part of its investment banking business,
Scott & Stringfellow is continually engaged in the valuation of community banks and their securities in connection with mergers and acquisitions.
On November 10, 2011, Virginia Bancorps board of directors held a special meeting to review the merger agreement. At that meeting, Scott & Stringfellow rendered an oral opinion, that
as of that date and based upon and subject to the factors and assumptions set forth in its fairness opinion presentation and letter, the consideration to be paid to Virginia Bancorp in connection with the merger is fair to Virginia Bancorp
shareholders from a financial point of view. On November 13, 2011, Virginia Bancorps board of directors held a special meeting to approve the merger agreement, at which time, Scott & Stringfellow confirmed its oral opinion as
previously provided and delivered its written opinion. Subsequently, a proposed adjustment to the consideration to be paid to Virginia Bancorp shareholders prompted Scott & Stringfellow to provide an oral update to the board of directors on
March 8, 2012 followed by the delivery of a revised opinion letter on March 14, 2012. The opinion has been reviewed and approved by Scott & Stringfellows Investment Banking Valuation Committee.
39
The full text of Scott & Stringfellows written opinion is attached as
Annex B to this proxy statement/prospectus and is incorporated herein by reference. The opinion outlines matters considered and qualifications and limitations on the review undertaken by Scott & Stringfellow in rendering its opinion. The
description of the opinion set forth below is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the opinion. Shareholders of Virginia Bancorp are urged to read the entire opinion carefully in connection with their consideration of the
proposed merger.
No limitations were imposed by Virginia Bancorp on the scope of Scott & Stringfellows
investigation or the procedures to be followed by Scott & Stringfellow in rendering its opinion. In arriving at its opinion, Scott & Stringfellow did not ascribe a specific range of values to Virginia Bancorp. Scott &
Stringfellows opinion is based on the financial and comparative analyses described below. Scott & Stringfellows opinion is solely for the information of, and directed to, Virginia Bancorps board of directors for its
information and assistance in connection with the board of directors consideration of the financial terms of the merger and is not to be relied upon by any shareholder of Virginia Bancorp or City Holding or any other person or entity.
Scott & Stringfellows opinion was not intended to be and does not constitute a recommendation to Virginia Bancorps board of directors as to how the board of directors should vote on the merger or to any shareholder of Virginia
Bancorp as to how any such shareholder should vote at the special meeting at which the merger is considered, or whether or not any shareholder of Virginia Bancorp should enter into a voting, shareholders or affiliates agreement with
respect to the merger, or exercise any appraisal rights that may be available to such shareholder. In addition, Scott & Stringfellows opinion does not compare the relative merits of the merger with any other alternative transaction or
business strategy which may have been available to Virginia Bancorp and does not address the underlying business decision of Virginia Bancorps board of directors or Virginia Bancorp to proceed with or effect the merger.
In rendering its opinion, Scott & Stringfellow reviewed, analyzed, and relied upon, among other things:
|
|
|
the merger agreement and meetings and discussions with members of senior management of Virginia Bancorp and City Holding regarding the material terms
of the merger agreement;
|
|
|
|
certain publicly available financial statements and other historical financial information of City Holding that Scott & Stringfellow deemed
relevant and meetings and discussions regarding the same with members of senior management of City Holding;
|
|
|
|
certain publicly available and non-publicly available financial statements and other historical financial information of Virginia Bancorp that
Scott & Stringfellow deemed relevant and meetings and discussions regarding the same with members of senior management of Virginia Bancorp;
|
|
|
|
internal financial forecasts for Virginia Bancorp related to the business, earnings, cash flows, assets, and prospects of Virginia Bancorp for the
years ending December 31, 2011, 2012, and 2013 prepared and furnished by and reviewed with senior management of Virginia Bancorp;
|
|
|
|
the estimated pro forma financial impact of the merger on City Holding, based on assumptions relating to, without limitation, transaction expenses,
purchase accounting adjustments, cost savings, and certain synergies determined by and reviewed with the senior management of City Holding and Virginia Bancorp;
|
|
|
|
the relative contribution of Virginia Bancorp and City Holding with regard to certain assets, liabilities, earnings, and capital;
|
|
|
|
the market prices, valuation multiples, publicly reported financial conditions, and results of operations for City Holding and for Virginia Bancorp
compared with those of certain publicly traded companies that Scott & Stringfellow deemed to be relevant;
|
|
|
|
the proposed financial terms of the merger with the financial terms of certain other transactions that Scott & Stringfellow deemed to be
relevant;
|
40
|
|
|
a dividend discount scenario of Virginia Bancorp based upon the internal financial forecasts;
|
|
|
|
the current market environment generally and the banking environment in particular; and
|
|
|
|
such other information, financial studies, analyses, and investigations, and financial, economic, and market criteria as Scott & Stringfellow
deemed appropriate.
|
In conducting its review and arriving at its opinion, Scott & Stringfellow
relied upon and assumed the accuracy and completeness of all of the financial and other information provided to or otherwise made available to Scott & Stringfellow or that was discussed with, or reviewed by or for Scott &
Stringfellow, or that was publicly available. Scott & Stringfellow did not assume any responsibility to verify such information independently. Scott & Stringfellow assumed that the financial and operating forecasts for City Holding
and Virginia Bancorp provided by the management of each respective institution were reasonably prepared and reflect the best currently available estimates and judgments of senior management of each respective institution as to the future financial
and operating performance of City Holding and Virginia Bancorp. Scott & Stringfellow assumed, without independent verification, that the aggregate allowances for loan and lease losses for City Holding and Virginia Bancorp are adequate to
cover those losses. Scott & Stringfellow did not make or obtain any evaluations or appraisals of any assets or liabilities of City Holding or Virginia Bancorp, and Scott & Stringfellow did not examine any books and records or
review individual credit files.
For purposes of rendering its opinion, Scott & Stringfellow assumed that, in all
respects material to its analyses:
|
|
|
the merger will be completed substantially in accordance with the terms set forth in the merger agreement;
|
|
|
|
the representations and warranties of each party in the merger agreement and in all related documents and instruments referred to in the merger
agreement are true and correct;
|
|
|
|
each party to the merger agreement and all related documents will perform all of the covenants and agreements required to be performed by such party
under such documents;
|
|
|
|
all conditions to the completion of the merger will be satisfied without any waivers; and
|
|
|
|
in the course of obtaining the necessary regulatory, contractual, or other consents or approvals for the merger, no restrictions, including any
divestiture requirements or amendments or modifications will be imposed that may have a material adverse effect on the future results of operations or financial condition of City Holding, Virginia Bancorp, or the combined entity, as the case may be,
or the contemplated benefits of the merger.
|
Scott & Stringfellow further assumed that the merger will be accounted
for as a purchase under generally accepted accounting principles. Scott & Stringfellows opinion is not an expression of an opinion as to the prices at which shares of City Holding common stock will trade following the announcement of
the merger or the actual value of City Holding common stock when issued pursuant to the merger, or the prices at which City Holding common stock will trade following the completion of the merger.
In performing its analyses, Scott & Stringfellow made numerous assumptions with respect to industry performance, general
business, economic, market and financial conditions, and other matters, many of which are beyond the control of Scott & Stringfellow, City Holding, and Virginia Bancorp. Any estimates contained in the analyses performed by Scott &
Stringfellow are not necessarily indicative of actual values or future results, which may be significantly more or less favorable than suggested by these analyses. Additionally, estimates of the value of businesses or securities do not purport to be
appraisals nor to reflect the prices at which such businesses or securities might actually be sold. Accordingly, these analyses and estimates are inherently subject to substantial uncertainty. In addition, the Scott & Stringfellow opinion
was among several factors taken into consideration by the Virginia Bancorp board of directors in making its determination to approve the merger
41
agreement and the merger. Consequently, the analyses described below should not be viewed as solely determinative of the decision of the Virginia Bancorp board or management of Virginia Bancorp
with respect to the fairness of the merger consideration.
Summary of Analyses by Scott & Stringfellow
The following is a summary of the material analyses presented by Scott & Stringfellow to the Virginia Bancorp
board of directors on November 10, 2011 and in connection with its revised written opinion dated March 14, 2012. The summary is not a complete description of the analyses underlying the Scott & Stringfellow opinion or the
presentation made by Scott & Stringfellow to the Virginia Bancorp board, but summarizes the material analyses performed and presented in connection with such opinion. The preparation of a fairness opinion is a complex analytic process
involving various determinations as to the most appropriate and relevant methods of financial analysis and the application of those methods to the particular circumstances. Therefore, a fairness opinion is not readily susceptible to partial analysis
or summary description. In arriving at its opinion, Scott & Stringfellow did not attribute any particular weight to any analysis or factor that it considered, but rather made qualitative judgments as to the significance and relevance of
each analysis and factor. The financial analyses summarized below include information presented in tabular format. Accordingly, Scott & Stringfellow believes that its analyses and the summary of its analyses must be considered as a whole
and that selecting portions of its analyses and factors or focusing on the information presented below in tabular format, without considering all analyses and factors or the full narrative description of the financial analyses, including the
methodologies and assumptions underlying the analyses, could create a misleading or incomplete view of the process underlying its analyses and opinion. The tables alone are not a complete description of the financial analyses.
Transaction Overview
. Scott & Stringfellow reviewed the financial terms of the merger
agreement, including the consideration to be received by Virginia Bancorp shareholders. For every share of Virginia Bancorp stock held, such shareholders will have the option to receive (i) 0.2100 shares of City Holding common stock;
(ii) $6.17 in cash; or (iii) $2.47 in cash and 0.1260 shares of City Holding common stock, subject to adjustment by a proration mechanism fully described in the merger agreement such that 60% of the shares of Virginia Bancorp stock are
exchanged for shares of City Holding common stock and 40% of the shares of Virginia Bancorp stock are exchanged for cash, provided that no more than 240,000 shares of City Holding common stock and no more than $4,689,920 in cash will be issued to
Virginia Bancorp shareholders in connection with the merger. Based on the closing price of City Holdings common stock on March 5, 2012 of $33.42, Scott & Stringfellow calculated an aggregate value (Effective Aggregate
Value) of approximately $12.7 million, or $6.68 per share (Price as used in the Transaction Multiples table below) for Virginia Bancorp common stock. Completion of the transaction is subject to Virginia Bancorp shareholder
approval, required regulatory approvals, and other conditions.

Market Validation
. Scott & Stringfellow led an extensive process to contact financial
institutions (potential acquirors) that Scott & Stringfellow and Virginia Bancorp determined may be interested in acquiring Virginia Bancorp and that had a high certainty of closing such a transaction with Virginia Bancorp. Over a period of
42
approximately two months, Scott & Stringfellow contacted 23 potential acquirers, distributed 10 confidential informational memoranda on the business and financial condition of Virginia
Bancorp and its subsidiary, Virginia Savings, provided updated financial information, and held discussions with multiple potential acquirors. Three of the potential acquirers, including City Holding, submitted non-binding indications of interest.
Scott & Stringfellow met with Virginia Bancorps board of directors to review the indications of interest. The board directed Scott & Stringfellow to move forward with City Holdings offer, while placing the second bidder
on hold and dismissing the third bidder from the process. City Holding conducted thorough onsite due diligence on Virginia Bancorp, including loan portfolio reviews and discussions with Virginia Bancorps senior management. City Holdings
final, non-binding indication of interest was deemed superior to that of the remaining bidder, and as such, Virginia Bancorps board decided to move forward exclusively with City Holding on an expedited basis to negotiate the merger agreement.
Selected Peer Group Analysis
. Scott & Stringfellow reviewed and compared
publicly available financial data (as of September 30, 2011), market information, and trading multiples for Virginia Bancorp with other selected publicly traded companies that Scott & Stringfellow deemed relevant to Virginia Bancorp.
The peer group consisted of certain select publicly traded banks and thrifts headquartered in Virginia with assets as of the most recent quarter reported between $50 and $600 million (16 companies). The peer group excluded institutions identified as
the target of a publicly announced merger as of November 8, 2011.

For the selected publicly traded companies, Scott & Stringfellow analyzed, among other things,
stock price as a multiple of last twelve months earnings, book value per share, and tangible book value per share. All multiples were based on closing stock prices as of March 5, 2012 and financial data as of September 30, 2011. The
following table sets forth the minimum, median, and maximum operating metrics, valuation multiples, and market capitalization provided by the market analysis of selected publicly traded companies. Multiples for Virginia Bancorp have been excluded
due to the fact that Virginia Bancorp stock does not trade in public markets. However, this analysis resulted in a range of imputed stock price values for Virginia Bancorp of between $3.50 and $4.13 per share based on the median multiples for the
peer group.

For the selected publicly traded companies, Scott & Stringfellow analyzed, among other things,
stock price as a multiple of last twelve months earnings per share, estimated 2011 and 2012 earnings per share, book value per share, and tangible book value per share. All multiples were based on closing stock prices as of March 5, 2012
and financial data as of September 30, 2011. Projected earnings per share for the comparable companies were based on FactSet consensus estimates. FactSet is an information provider that publishes, among other things, a compilation of estimates
of projected financial performance for publicly traded commercial banks produced by equity research analysts at leading investment banking firms. The following table sets forth the minimum, median, and maximum operating metrics, valuation multiples,
and market capitalization provided by the market analysis of selected publicly traded companies. This analysis resulted in a range of imputed values for City Holding of between $24.78 and $37.77 per share based on the median multiples for the peer
group.

No company used in the analyses described above is identical to Virginia Bancorp, City Holding, or the pro forma combined company.
Accordingly, an analysis of the results of the foregoing necessarily involves complex considerations and judgments concerning financial and operating characteristics and other factors that could affect the merger, public trading, or other values of
the companies to which they are being compared. In addition, mathematical analyses, such as determining the median, are not in and of themselves meaningful methods of using comparable company data.

Holding, Virginia Bancorp or the merger. Accordingly, an analysis of these results is not mathematical. Rather, it involves complex considerations and judgments concerning differences in financial and operating characteristics of the companies.
Discounted Dividend Stream and Terminal Value Analysis of Virginia Bancorp
.
Scott & Stringfellow performed an analysis that estimated a future stream of potential dividend flows of Virginia Bancorp assuming that Virginia Bancorp performed in accordance with the earnings projections provided by Virginia Bancorp
management and assuming that Virginia Bancorp employs a hypothetical dividend payout ratio of 25% in the projected fiscal years. Virginia Bancorp does not currently pay a dividend, nor does Virginia Bancorp management forecast paying a dividend at
this time. For 2011 through 2013, Scott & Stringfellow used the earnings projections provided by Virginia Bancorps management. For periods after 2013, Scott & Stringfellow assumed an annual total asset growth rate of 3.5% and
an annual return on average assets of 1.06%, while maintaining an adequate capital level (8% minimum equity to average asset ratio) to support this growth. To approximate the terminal value of Virginia Bancorp common stock at December 31, 2016,
Scott & Stringfellow applied a range of 12.0x to 16.0x price / earnings multiples to Virginia Bancorps estimated fiscal year December 31, 2016 earnings, the result of which we believe adequately quantifies a present value of all
earnings generated beyond the projected period as of December 31, 2016. The potential dividend income streams and terminal values were then discounted to present values using different discount rates ranging from 12.0% to 14.0%, chosen to
reflect different assumptions regarding required rates of return to the holders of Virginia Bancorp common stock. As illustrated in the following table, this analysis indicated an imputed range of values per share of Virginia Bancorp common stock of
$5.76 to $8.14 when applying the 12.0x 16.0x price / earnings multiples range for calculating the terminal values. A discounted cash flow analysis was included because it is a widely used valuation methodology, but the results of such
methodology are highly dependent upon the numerous assumptions that must be made, including earnings growth rates, asset growth rates, terminal multiples, and discount rates.

Financial Impact Analysis
. Scott &
Stringfellow performed pro forma merger analyses that combined projected income statement and balance sheet information of both City Holding and Virginia Bancorp. Assumptions regarding the accounting treatment, acquisition adjustments, and cost
savings were used to calculate the financial impact that the merger would have on certain projected financial results of the pro forma company. This analysis indicated that the merger is expected to be accretive to City Holdings estimated
2012 2014 earnings per share, neutral to pro forma September 30, 2011 book value per share, and slightly dilutive to pro forma September 30, 2011 tangible book value per share. This analysis was based on financial
projections and certain merger assumptions (including estimated cost savings and one-time charges) provided by and reviewed with senior management of Virginia Bancorp. For all of the above analyses, the actual results achieved by the pro forma
company following the merger will vary from the projected results, and the variations may be material.
Other Analyses
. Scott & Stringfellow compared the relative financial and market performance of City Holding to a variety of relevant industry peer groups and indices.
Scott & Stringfellow has not expressed an opinion about the fairness of the amount or nature of compensation that any of the
Virginia Bancorp officers, directors, employees, or class of such person relative to the compensation to the shareholders of Virginia Bancorp.
In the ordinary course of its business as a broker-dealer, Scott & Stringfellow may, from time to time purchase securities from, and sell securities to, Virginia Bancorp and City Holding, and as
a market maker in securities, Scott & Stringfellow may from time to time have a long or short position in, and buy, sell, or hold equity securities of Virginia Bancorp and City Holding for its own account and for the accounts of its
customers.
Virginia Bancorp and Scott & Stringfellow have entered into an engagement relating to the services to be
provided by Scott & Stringfellow in connection with the merger. Virginia Bancorp paid a non-refundable retainer of $25,000 to S&S at the time of engagement, as well as a $100,000 fairness opinion fee, of which, $50,000 was due at
delivery of the opinion and $50,000 is due when Virginia Bancorp shareholders approve the merger agreement. At closing, Virginia Bancorp will pay Scott & Stringfellow an additional cash fee such that the total fees paid to Scott &
Stringfellow by Virginia Bancorp will equal 2.0% of the aggregate value of the merger consideration paid to the Virginia Bancorp shareholders on the effective date of the merger. Pursuant to the Scott & Stringfellow engagement agreement,
Virginia Bancorp also agreed to reimburse Scott & Stringfellow for reasonable out-of-pocket expenses and disbursements incurred in connection with its retention. Prior to the engagement relating to the services to be provided in connection
with the merger described herein, Scott & Stringfellow received no other investment banking fees or compensation from either Virginia Bancorp or City Holding.

Termination of the Merger Agreement
Virginia Bancorp and City Holding may mutually agree to terminate the merger agreement at any time.
Either Virginia Bancorp or City Holding may terminate the merger agreement if any of the following occurs:
|
|
|
the merger is not complete by May 31, 2012, unless the failure of the merger to be consummated arises out of or results from the action or inaction of
the party seeking to terminate; or
|
49
|
|
|
the approval of any governmental entity required for consummation of the merger is denied or the shareholders of Virginia Bancorp do not approve the
merger agreement within 60 days of this proxy statement/prospectus.
|
City Holding may terminate the merger
agreement if any of the following occurs:
|
|
|
Virginia Bancorp materially breaches any of its representations or obligations under the merger agreement, and does not cure the breach within 30 days;
or
|
|
|
|
Virginia Bancorps board of directors fails to recommend approval of the merger agreement, withdraws its recommendation or modifies its
recommendation in a manner adverse to City Holding.
|
Virginia Bancorp may terminate the merger agreement if
any of the following occurs:
|
|
|
City Holding materially breaches any of its representations or obligations under the merger agreement, and does not cure the breach within 30 days; or
|
|
|
|
The price of City Holding common stock declines by more than 20% over a designated measurement period and the stock prices of the banks and bank
holding companies included on the Nasdaq Bank Index have not collectively experienced a similar decline during the same period, unless City Holding elects to increase the consideration to be paid to Virginia Bancorp shareholders (which it is not
obligated to do); or
|
|
|
|
Virginia Bancorp enters into an agreement with respect to an unsolicited acquisition proposal that if consummated would result in a transaction more
favorable to Virginia Bancorps shareholders from a financial point of view than the merger, provided that Virginia Bancorp pays the termination fee described below.
|
Effect of Termination; Termination Fee
The
provisions of the merger agreement relating to expenses and termination fee will continue in effect not withstanding termination of the merger agreement. If the merger agreement is validly terminated, the merger agreement will become void without
any liability on the part of any party except that termination will not relieve a breaching party from liability for any willful breach of the merger agreement.
Virginia Bancorp has agreed to pay a termination fee to City Holding equal to $650,000 if:
|
|
|
City Holding terminates the merger agreement because Virginia Bancorps board of directors fails to recommend approval of the merger agreement or
withdraws, modifies or changes its recommendation of the approval of the merger agreement in a manner adverse to City Holding;
|
|
|
|
Virginia Bancorp terminates the merger agreement in order to enter into an agreement relating to an unsolicited competing acquisition proposal that
Virginia Bancorps board of directors has determined, in good faith after consulting with and considering the advice of Virginia Bancorps outside legal counsel and financial advisors, would result in a transaction more favorable to
Virginia Bancorps shareholders from a financial point of view than the merger; or
|
|
|
|
either Virginia Bancorp or City Holding terminates the merger agreement due to the failure of Virginia Bancorp to receive shareholder approval of the
merger agreement, and if an acquisition proposal is publicly announced prior to the special meeting and within 12 months after the announcement of the acquisition proposal a change in control of Virginia Bancorp is consummated.
|
Waiver and Amendment
Prior to the effective time of the merger, any provision of the merger agreement may be waived by the party benefiting by the provision or
amended or modified by an agreement in writing between the parties, except that, after the special meeting, the merger agreement may not be amended if it would violate applicable law.
50
No Solicitation of Other Acquisition Proposals
Virginia Bancorp has agreed that it will not, and that it will cause its officers, directors, agents, advisors, and affiliates not to,
solicit or encourage inquiries or proposals with respect to, engage in any negotiations concerning, or provide any confidential information to any person relating to any proposal to acquire the stock or assets of Virginia Bancorp or other business
combination transactions with Virginia Bancorp, unless the Virginia Bancorp board of directors concludes in good faith, after consultation with and consideration of the advice of its financial advisors and outside legal counsel, that the failure to
enter into such discussions or would be reasonably likely to be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties under Virginia law. If the board of directors of Virginia Bancorp is obligated by its fiduciary duties to accept a third-party proposal that it
believes is superior to City Holdings offer set forth in the merger agreement, Virginia Bancorp is obligated to pay to City Holding the termination fee equal to $650,000 upon termination of the merger agreement. See Effect of
Termination; Termination Fee on page .
Closing Date; Effective Time
The merger will be consummated and become effective on the date and at the time shown on the Articles of Merger required
to be filed in the office of the Secretary of State of the State of West Virginia and the office of the Virginia State Corporation Commission. Subject to the merger agreement, the parties will cause the merger to become effective (a) on the
date that is the fifth full trading day on the Nasdaq Global Select Market to occur after the last of all required regulatory and shareholder approvals of the merger and the subsidiary merger have been received and all required waiting periods have
expired or (b) on such other date the parties may agree to in writing.
Regulatory Approvals
The merger and the other transactions contemplated by the merger agreement require the approval of the Federal Reserve and the Virginia
Bureau of Financial Institutions. As a bank holding company, City Holding is subject to regulation under the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956, as amended (BHCA). City National is a national banking association and is subject to the laws
of the United States. City Holding has filed all required applications seeking approval of the merger with the Federal Reserve and the Virginia Bureau of Financial Institutions. City National and Virginia Savings have also applied with the Office of
the Comptroller of the Currency for approval of the merger of Virginia Savings into City National.
Under the BHCA, the
Federal Reserve is required to examine the financial and managerial resources and future prospects of the combined organization and analyze the capital structure and soundness of the resulting entity. The Federal Reserve has the authority to deny an
application if it concludes that the combined organization would have inadequate capital. In addition, the Federal Reserve can withhold approval of the merger if, among other things, it determines that the effect of the merger would be to
substantially lessen competition in the relevant markets. City Holding and Virginia Bancorp operate in different market areas, as defined by the Federal Reserve. Further, the Federal Reserve must consider whether the combined organization meets the
requirements of the Community Reinvestment Act of 1977, by assessing the involved entities records of meeting the credit needs of local communities in which they operate, consistent with the safe and sound operation of such institutions. In
general, the Virginia Bureau of Financial Institutions will review the merger under similar standards.
In addition, a period
of 15 to 30 days must expire following approval by the Federal Reserve before completion of the merger is allowed, within which period the United States Department of Justice may file objections to the merger under federal antitrust laws.
The merger cannot be consummated prior to the receipt of all required approvals. There can be no assurance that the required
regulatory approvals for the merger will be obtained and, if the merger is approved, as to the date of such approvals or whether the approvals will contain any unacceptable conditions. There can likewise be
51
no assurance that the United States Department of Justice will not challenge the merger during the waiting period set aside for such challenges after receipt of approval from the Federal Reserve.
City National and Virginia Bancorp are not aware of any governmental approvals or actions that may be required for
consummation of the merger other than as described above. Should any other approval or action be required, it is presently contemplated that such approval or action would be sought. There can be no assurance that any necessary regulatory approvals
or actions will be timely received or taken, that no action will be brought challenging such approval or action, or, if such a challenge is brought, as to the result thereof, or that any such action or approval will not be conditioned in a manner
that would cause the parties to abandoned the merger.
The approval of any application merely implies the satisfaction of
regulatory criteria for approval, which does not include review of the merger from the standpoint of the adequacy of the merger consideration. Furthermore, regulatory approvals do not constitute an endorsement or recommendation of the merger.
As of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus, no regulatory approvals have been received. While City Holding and
Virginia Bancorp do not know of any reason why necessary regulatory approvals would not be obtained in a timely manner, we cannot be certain when or if we will receive them, or if obtained, whether they will contain terms, conditions or restrictions
not currently contemplated that will be detrimental to City Holding after completion of the merger.
Conduct of
Business Pending the Merger
The merger agreement contains reciprocal forbearances made by Virginia Bancorp and City
Holding to each other. Virginia Bancorp and City Holding have agreed that, until the effective time of the merger, neither of them nor any of their subsidiaries, without the prior written consent of the other, will:
|
|
|

and maintain its rights, franchises and existing relations with customers, suppliers, employees and business associates;
|
|
|
|
Implement or adopt any change in its accounting principles, practices or methods, other than as may be required by generally accepted accounting
principles;
|
|
|
|
Take any action while knowing that such action would, or is reasonably likely to, prevent or impede the merger from qualifying as a reorganization
within the meaning of Section 368 of the Internal Revenue Code, or knowingly take any action that is intended or is reasonably likely to result in any of the conditions to the merger not being satisfied, or a material violation of any provision
of the merger agreement except, in each case, as may be required by applicable law or regulation; or
|
|
|
|
Amend its articles of incorporation, articles of association, charter or bylaws (or similar governing documents).
|
Virginia Bancorp has also agreed that, prior to the effective time of the merger, without the prior written consent of, or as previously
disclosed to, City Holding, it will not and will cause its subsidiary not to:
|

arrangement, or any trust agreement (or similar arrangement) related thereto, or make any new or increase any outstanding grants or awards under any such contract, plan or arrangement, in respect of any current or former directors, officers or
employees of, or independent contractors with respect to, Virginia Bancorp or Virginia Savings, including taking any action that accelerates the vesting or exercisability of or the payment or distribution with respect to other compensation or
benefits payable thereunder except that as may be required by applicable law, as are provided for or contemplated in the merger agreement or in the ordinary course of business consistent with past practice;
|
|
|

Except as previously disclosed, sell, transfer, mortgage, encumber or otherwise dispose of or discontinue any material portion of its assets, business

$100,000 other than residential mortgage loans in the ordinary course of business consistent with lending policies as in effect on the date of the merger agreement provided that in the case of any loan for which consultation is required, Virginia
Savings may make any such loan in the event (1) Virginia Savings has delivered to City Holding or its designated representative, a notice of its intention to make such loan and such additional information as City Holding or its designated
representative may immediately require and (2) City Holding or its designated representative shall not have reasonably objected to such loan by giving notice of such objection within three business days following the delivery of the applicable
notice of intention;
|
|
|
|
Except in the ordinary course of business consistent or pursuant to the terms of the merger agreement, enter into or terminate any material contract or
amend or modify in any material respect any of its existing material contracts in a manner that is material to Virginia Bancorp and Virginia Savings taken as a whole;

Cash Election, Stock Election or Stock/Cash Election; Surrender of Stock Certificates
Each person who, on , 2012, which date we refer to as the record date, is a record
holder of shares of Virginia Bancorp stock will be entitled, with respect to all or any portion of such persons shares, to make an election on or prior to the election deadline with respect to the cash, City Holding common stock or cash and
City Holding common stock that such holder is to receive for his or her shares of Virginia Bancorp stock.
Each election form
will permit holders to make one of the following elections:
|
|
|
To elect to receive shares of City Holding common stock with respect to all of such holders shares of Virginia Bancorp stock;
|
|
|
|
To elect to receive cash with respect to all of such holders shares of Virginia Bancorp stock;
|
|
|
|
To elect to receive shares of City Holding common stock and cash with respect to such holders shares of Virginia Bancorp stock; or
|
|
|
|
To make no election, and thus indicate that such holder has no preference with respect to his or her shares of Virginia Bancorp stock.
|
Each of the beneficial owners of shares held of record by a bank, trust company, broker, dealer or other
recognized nominee record holder will notify its respective nominee record holder of its election through proper instructions and documentation to be provided by the record holder. Nominee record holders who hold shares of Virginia Bancorp stock on
behalf of multiple beneficial owners will indicate how many of such shares that they hold made each of the four elections.
All elections must be made on the election form furnished to you in this mailing. Elections may be made by holders of Virginia Bancorp
stock by delivering the election form to the exchange agent, which is Computershare Investor Services, LLC. To make an effective election, you must submit a properly completed election with respect to all shares of stock covered by the election form
(or an appropriate guarantee of delivery) to Computershare Investor Services, LLC on or before 5:00 p.m., Eastern time, on ,
2012, which date we refer to as the election deadline.
Computershare Investor Services, LLC will act as exchange agent in the
merger and in that role will process the exchange of Virginia Bancorp stock certificates for cash and/or City Holding common stock. The exchange agent has the discretion to determine whether any election form has been properly completed, signed and
submitted or revoked and to disregard immaterial defects in the election form. The good faith decision of the
54
exchange agent in such matters will be conclusive and binding. Neither City Holding nor the exchange agent is under any obligation to notify any person of any defect in an election form submitted
to the exchange agent. The exchange agent, or City Holding and Virginia Bancorp if the exchange agent declines to do so, will also be making any computations required by the merger agreement, and all such computations will be conclusive and binding
on the holders of Virginia Bancorp stock in the absence of manifest error.
In any event, do not forward your Virginia Bancorp stock certificates with your proxy cards or election forms.
An election form may be changed if the record holder effectively revokes such holders election form in accordance with the
procedures described on the election form and a new election form for such holder is received by the exchange agent prior to the election deadline. A holder may also revoke his or her election at any time prior to the election deadline by providing
written notice to the exchange agent.
A shareholder who does not submit an election form to the exchange agent prior to the
election deadline, including a holder who submits and then revokes such holders election form and does not re-submit an election form that is timely received by the exchange agent will be deemed to have indicated that such holder makes no
election with respect to his or her shares of Virginia Bancorp stock.
After the completion of the merger, the exchange agent
will mail to Virginia Bancorp shareholders a letter of transmittal, together with instructions for the exchange of their Virginia Bancorp stock certificates for the merger consideration.
After the effective time of the merger, each certificate formerly representing Virginia Bancorp stock, until so surrendered and
exchanged, will evidence only the right to receive, pursuant to an election to which such holder is entitled to make, the cash and/or the number of whole shares of City Holding common stock that the holder is entitled to receive in the merger, any
cash payment in lieu of a fractional share of City Holding common stock and any dividend or other distribution with respect to Virginia Bancorp common stock with a record date prior to the effective time of the merger. The holder of such unexchanged
certificate will not be entitled to receive any dividends or distributions payable by City Holding until the certificate has been exchanged. Subject to applicable laws, following surrender of such certificates, such dividends and distributions,
together with any cash payment in lieu of a fractional share of City Holding common stock, will be paid without interest.
After the completion of the merger, there will be no further transfers of Virginia Bancorp stock. Virginia Bancorp stock certificates
presented for transfer after the completion of the merger will be canceled and exchanged for the merger consideration.
If
your Virginia Bancorp stock certificates have been either lost, stolen or destroyed, you will have to prove your ownership of these certificates and that they were lost, stolen or destroyed before you receive any consideration for your shares. Upon
request, our exchange agent, Computershare Investor Services, LLC, will send you instructions on how to provide evidence of ownership.
Allocation and Proration Procedures
The merger agreement provides that 60% of the outstanding shares of Virginia
Bancorp stock will be exchanged for shares of City Holding common stock and 40% of the outstanding shares of Virginia Bancorp stock will be exchanged for cash; provided that no more than 240,000 shares of City Holding common stock will be issued nor
more than $4,689,920 in cash will be paid.
Each Virginia Bancorp shareholder has four election options with respect to the
Virginia Bancorp stock:
|
|
|
Elect to receive 0.2100 shares of City Holding common stock for each share of Virginia Bancorp stock;
|
|
|
|
Elect to receive $6.17 in cash for each share of Virginia Bancorp stock;
|
55
|
|
|
Elect to receive 0.1260 shares of City Holding common stock and $2.47 in cash for each share of Virginia Bancorp stock; or
|
The shares whereby shareholders choose the stock election are called stock election shares. The shares whereby shareholders choose the cash election are called the cash election
shares. The shares whereby shareholders choose the stock and cash election are called the stock/cash election shares. The shares whereby shareholders choose a non-election or where shareholders make no election are called the
non-election shares. The product obtained by multiplying (i) 0.60 times (ii) the difference obtained by subtracting the total number of stock/cash election shares from the total number of shares of Virginia Bancorp stock
outstanding is called the Stock Percentage Number. The product obtained by multiplying (i) 0.40 times (ii) the difference obtained by subtracting the total number of stock/cash election shares from the total number Virginia
Bancorp shares outstanding is called the Cash Percentage Number.
Within three business days after the election
deadline, City Holding will cause the exchange agent to allocate the cash and stock to be received as follows:
|
|
|
The stock/cash election shares will be converted into the right to receive the stock/cash consideration;
|
|
|
|
If the total number of stock election shares exceeds the Stock Percentage Number, then:
|
|
|
|
All cash election shares will be converted into the right to receive the cash consideration;
|
|
|
|
Non-election shares will be deemed cash election shares to the extent necessary to have the total number of cash election shares equal the Cash
Percentage Number. If less than all of the non-election shares need to be treated as cash election shares, then the exchange agent will determine which non-election shares to treat as cash election shares and the remaining non-election shares will
be treated as stock election shares;
|
|
|
|
If all non-election shares are treated as cash election shares, and the total number of cash election shares is less than the Cash Percentage Number,
then the exchange agent shall convert on a pro rata basis a sufficient number of stock election shares into cash election shares (reallocated cash shares) so that the sum of the number of cash election shares (including non-election
shares treated as cash election shares) plus the reallocated cash shares equals the Cash Percentage Number, and all reallocated cash shares will be converted into the right to receive the cash consideration; and
|
|
|
|
The stock election shares which are not reallocated cash shares will be converted into the right to receive the stock consideration.
|
|
|
|
If the total number of stock election shares is less than the Stock Percentage Number, then:
|
|
|
|
All stock election shares shall be converted into the right to receive the stock consideration;
|
|
|
|
Non-election shares will be deemed to be stock election shares to the extent necessary to have the total number of stock election shares equal the
Stock Percentage Number. If less than all of the non-election shares need to be treated as stock election shares, then the exchange agent will determine which non-election shares to treat as stock election shares and all remaining non-election
shares will be treated as cash election shares;
|
|
|
|
If all non-election shares are treated as stock election shares and the total number of stock election shares is less than the Stock Percentage Number,
then the exchange agent will convert on a pro rata basis a sufficient number of cash election shares into stock election shares (reallocated stock shares) so that the number of stock election shares (including non-election shares treated
as stock election shares) plus the reallocated stock shares equals the Stock Percentage Number, and all reallocated stock shares will be converted into the right to receive the stock consideration; and
|
56
|
|
|
The cash election shares which are not reallocated stock shares will be converted into the right to receive to the cash consideration.
|
If the exchange agent is required to convert some stock election shares into reallocated cash shares, each
holder of stock election shares will be allocated a pro rata portion of the total reallocated cash shares. If the exchange agent is required to convert some cash election shares into reallocated stock shares, each holder of cash election shares will
be allocated a pro rata portion of the total reallocated stock shares.
No Fractional Shares
Shareholders will not receive any fractional shares of City Holding common stock. Instead, they will receive cash, without interest, for
any fractional share of City Holding common stock that they might otherwise have been entitled to receive based on the average of the per share closing price of City Holding common stock as reported on the Nasdaq Global Select Market during the 10
trading days immediately preceding the 10th calendar day immediately preceding the effective date of the merger.
Appraisal Rights
Shareholders of record of Virginia Bancorp common stock and Virginia Bancorp preferred stock who comply with the procedures described below will be entitled to appraisal rights under Article 15 of
Section 13.1 of the Virginia Stock Corporation Act (the VSCA). Where appropriate, shareholders are urged to consult with their legal counsel to determine the appropriate procedures for the making of a notice of intent to demand
payment (as described below). No further notice of the events giving rise to appraisal rights or deadlines for related actions will be provided by Virginia Bancorp to shareholders prior to the special meeting.
The following discussion is only a summary, does not purport to be a complete statement of the law pertaining to appraisal rights under
the VSCA and is qualified in its entirety by reference to Article 15, Section 13.1 of the VSCA. Shareholders are urged to consult Article 15 of the VSCA, which is reprinted in its entirety as Annex C to this proxy statement/prospectus.
Shareholders who follow the procedures set forth in Article 15 of the VSCA will be entitled to receive payment of the
fair value of their shares of Virginia Bancorp common stock or Virginia Bancorp preferred stock. Any shareholder who wishes to exercise appraisal rights should review the following discussion and Annex C carefully because failure to
comply in a timely and proper manner with the procedures specified may result in the loss of appraisal rights under the VSCA.
A holder of shares of Virginia Bancorp common stock or Virginia Bancorp preferred stock who wishes to exercise appraisal rights must
deliver to Virginia Bancorp, prior to or at the special meeting (but in any event before the vote is taken), a written notice of intent to demand payment for such shareholders shares if the merger becomes effective. A shareholder delivering a
notice of intent must not vote his or her shares in favor of the proposal to approve and adopt the merger agreement or he or she will lose his or her appraisal rights. All notices of intent should be sent or delivered to Virginia Bancorps
Secretary, Noel F. Pilon, at Virginia Bancorps principal executive offices located at 600 North Commerce Avenue, Front Royal, Virginia 22630, or they may be hand delivered to him at the special meeting (before the voting begins).
If the merger agreement is approved and the merger becomes effective, within 10 days after the effective date of the merger, City Holding
will deliver an appraisal notice in writing to all shareholders who correctly and timely delivered a notice of intent (as described above) and also did not vote for approval of the merger agreement (an eligible shareholder). The
appraisal notice will:
|
|
|
state where the eligible shareholders payment demands should be sent and where and when stock certificates should be deposited;
|
57
|
|
|
set a date by which City Holding must receive the payment demand (which date may not be fewer than 40 days nor more than 60 days after the date the
appraisal notice is sent);
|
|
|
|
provide an estimate of the fair value of the shares of Virginia Bancorp common stock or Virginia Bancorp preferred stock that are the subject of the
appraisal right demand;
|
|
|
|
set the date by which a notice to withdraw the appraisal right demand must be received (a date within 20 days of the date indicated in the second
bullet point above); and
|
|
|
|
include such other information as required by the VSCA.
|
An eligible shareholder to whom an appraisal notice is sent must demand payment within the time specified in the appraisal notice, deposit his or her stock certificates in accordance with the terms of the
appraisal notice and make certain certifications required by the VSCA. If an eligible shareholder fails to take such actions, the shareholder loses his or her appraisal rights.
Within 30 days of the due date for receipt of any payment demands, if an eligible shareholder has complied with the provisions of Article
15 of the VSCA, City Holding must pay each eligible shareholder City Holdings estimate of the fair value of the shareholders shares of Virginia Bancorp common stock or Virginia Bancorp preferred stock, plus accrued interest. With any
payment, City Holding must provide its most recent annual and quarterly financial statements, an explanation of how it calculated the fair value of the shares of Virginia Bancorp common stock or Virginia Bancorp preferred stock and interest, and a
description of the procedure an eligible shareholder may follow if he or she is not satisfied with the payment.
An eligible
shareholder who is not satisfied with the amount paid or offered by City Holding must notify City Holding in writing of his or her own estimate of the fair value of his or her shares of Virginia Bancorp common stock or Virginia Bancorp preferred
stock and the amount of interest due (less any amount that may have been already received by the shareholder from City Holding) and demand that City Holding pay this estimated amount. This notice must be given in writing within 30 days of the date
that City Holding made or offered to make payment for the shareholders shares of Virginia Bancorp common stock or Virginia Bancorp preferred stock.
If an eligible shareholders demand for payment remains unsettled, City Holding is obligated to commence a proceeding in a Virginia circuit court to determine the fair value of the shares of Virginia
Bancorp common stock or Virginia Bancorp preferred stock and accrued interest within 60 days of the receipt of the shareholders payment demand. If City Holding fails to commence such proceeding in accordance with the VSCA, it must pay the
shareholder the amount demanded by him or her.
Eligible shareholders considering seeking appraisal should be aware that the
fair value of their shares of Virginia Bancorp common stock and preferred stock as determined under Article 15 of the VSCA, could be more than, the same as or less than the merger consideration that would be paid to them pursuant to the merger
agreement. The costs and expenses of any appraisal proceeding will be determined by the court and assessed against City Holding unless the court determines that the shareholder seeking appraisal did not act in good faith in demanding payment of the
fair value of their shares of Virginia Bancorp stock, in which case such costs and expenses may be assessed against the shareholder. Eligible shareholders will only be entitled to receive payment in accordance with Article 15 of the VSCA and will
not be entitled to vote their shares of Virginia Bancorp common stock or Virginia Bancorp preferred stock or exercise any other rights as a holder of Virginia Bancorp stock. After the date by which a notice to withdraw the appraisal right demand
must be received, an eligible shareholder demanding appraisal may withdraw his or her demand only with the consent of City Holding.
If any shareholder who demands appraisal of his or her shares under Article 15 of the VSCA fails to perfect, or effectively withdraws or loses, his or her right to appraisal, as provided in the VSCA, such
shareholders shares of Virginia Bancorp common stock or Virginia Bancorp preferred stock will be converted into the right to receive the merger consideration in accordance with the merger agreement.

Accounting Treatment
The merger will be accounted for as a business combination, as that term is used under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. As
such, the assets and liabilities of Virginia Bancorp, as of the completion of the merger, will be recorded at their fair values as well as any identifiable intangible assets. Any remaining excess purchase price will be allocated to goodwill, will
not be amortized and will be evaluated for impairment annually. Consolidated financial statements of City Holding issued after the consummation of the merger will reflect such values. In addition, costs incurred in connection with the business
combination will be expensed as incurred unless related to the equity issuance.
Interests of Certain Persons in
the Merger
When considering the recommendation of the Virginia Bancorp board, you should be aware that some Virginia
Bancorp directors and officers have interests in the merger that differ from, or are in addition to, the interests of other Virginia Bancorp shareholders. The members of the Virginia Bancorp board of directors knew about these additional interests
and considered them when they approved the merger agreement and the merger. Except as described below, to the knowledge of Virginia Bancorp, the executive officers and directors of Virginia Bancorp do not have any material interest in the merger
apart from their interests as Virginia Bancorp shareholders.
Indemnification; Directors
and Officers Insurance.
City Holding has agreed to indemnify the directors and officers of Virginia Bancorp and its subsidiaries for a period of six years from the effective time of the merger to the fullest extent that Virginia
Bancorp and Virginia Savings or any of its subsidiaries is permitted or required to indemnify (and advance expenses to) its directors and officers under the applicable law, the articles of incorporation and bylaws of Virginia Bancorp or Virginia
Savings, respectively, and any indemnification agreements in effect.
City Holding has also agreed for a period of three years
from the effective time of the merger to use its reasonable best efforts to cause the directors and officers of Virginia Bancorp to be covered by a directors and officers liability insurance policy maintained by City Holding with respect
to claims against such officers and directors arising from facts or events that occurred prior to the effective time of the merger that were committed by such officers and directors in their capacities as such. City Holding is not required to expend
more than 150% of the current amount expended by Virginia Bancorp to maintain or procure such directors and officers liability insurance coverage.
Employment Arrangement; Non-Compete and Non-Solicitation Agreement.
Under the terms of the merger agreement and in connection with the closing of the merger, W.
Michael Funk, President and Chief Executive Officer of Virginia Bancorp and Virginia Savings, will enter into a Non-Compete and Non-Solicitation Agreement with City Holding and City National under which he will continue serving Virginia Savings and
its successor, City National, for a period of up to six months after the merger and will receive a monthly salary equal to the salary paid by Virginia Savings to him for the month of September 2011. During this period, Mr. Funk will assist
City National in merger transition matters. Pursuant to the terms of the Non-Compete and Non-Solicitation Agreement, Mr. Funk will agree not to compete with City Nationals banking business for a two-year period beginning on the effective
date of the merger. The Non-Compete and Non-Solicitation Agreement will supercede and extinguish any existing employment agreements and other contracts that Mr. Funk has with Virginia Bancorp or Virginia Savings, including the Employment
Agreement and the Change in Control Employment Agreement each dated January 1, 2005, the effect of which is that Mr. Funk will receive no severance or other payments under such agreements. As consideration therefor, Mr. Funk will
receive a payment from City National of $478,400 to be paid, at his option, in a lump sum within 10 days of the effective date of the merger or at such times and amounts as mutually agreed upon among the parties. City National also will provide
health insurance through its company plan for Mr. Funk and his spouse, at no cost to him, for three years beginning on the day after he is no longer employed by the bank. City Holding and City National will reimburse Mr. Funk for any
59
excise taxes payable under Section 4999 of the Internal Revenue Code and will indemnify him for any losses, costs and expenses which he may incur as a result of any administrative or
judicial review of any liability for the excise tax or otherwise relating to the classification of any payment or benefit under Section 280G of the Internal Revenue Code.
Potential Payments Under Change in Control Agreement.
Mr. Funk has an existing agreement with Virginia Bancorp that becomes effective upon a change in control
of Virginia Bancorp and would replace the current employment agreement he has with Virginia Bancorp upon a change in control. Under the terms of the Change in Control Employment Agreement, Virginia Bancorp or its successor would continue to employ
Mr. Funk for a term of three years after the date of a change in control. During the term of the contract, Mr. Funk is to retain commensurate authority and responsibilities and compensation benefits, and is to receive a base salary at
least equal to the immediate year in which the change in control occurs and a bonus at least equal to the highest bonus paid to him in any of the two years prior to the change in control. If Mr. Funks employment is terminated during the
three years after the change in control other than for cause or disability (as defined in the agreement), or if Mr. Funk should terminate his employment (i) because a material term of his contract is breached by
Virginia Bancorp or its successor or (ii) through his voluntary termination during the 90-day period following the one-year anniversary of the change in control, he is entitled to a lump sum payment equal to 2.99 times the sum of his base
salary, annual bonus and equivalent benefits. Assuming a termination under such circumstances at December 31, 2011, following a change in control of Virginia Bancorp, the approximate payments to Mr. Funk would have been approximately
$478,400 (without taking into account any gross-up payments that may be triggered and health and other insurance payments).
As described above, Mr. Funk will be entering into a Non-Compete and Non-Solicitation Agreement with City Holding and City National
in connection with the closing of the merger. The Non-Compete and Non-Solicitation Agreement will be effective upon consummation of the merger and will supersede and terminate Mr. Funks existing Employment Agreement and Change in Control
Employment Agreement with Virginia Bancorp. As a result, Mr. Funk will not be entitled to receive any severance or other payments due thereunder in connection with the merger.
Voting Agreement
Each director of Virginia
Bancorp, as part of the merger agreement, has agreed to vote all of the shares of Virginia Bancorp stock that are registered in such directors name for the approval of the merger agreement, subject to the directors fiduciary obligations
if a trustee or other fiduciary under law. In addition, each of the directors has agreed not to transfer any shares of Virginia Bancorp stock for the purpose of avoiding such agreement.
Resales of City Holding Common Stock
The shares
of City Holding common stock to be issued to shareholders of Virginia Bancorp under the merger agreement have been registered under the Securities Act of 1933 and may be freely traded without restriction by holders, including holders who were
affiliates of Virginia Bancorp on the date of the special meeting.

CERTAIN FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES OF THE MERGER
General
The following summary sets forth the material U.S. federal income tax consequences of the merger to the holders of Virginia Bancorp stock who exchange such stock for (1) shares of City Holding common
stock, (2) cash, or (3) a combination of cash and City Holding common stock. The tax consequences under state, local and foreign laws are not addressed in this summary. The following summary is based upon the Internal Revenue Code,
Treasury regulations, administrative rulings and court decisions in effect as of the date hereof, all of which are subject to change, possibly with retroactive effect. Any such change could affect the continuing validity of this summary. No
assurance can be given that the Internal Revenue Service would not assert, or that a court would not sustain, a position contrary to any of the tax consequences set forth below.
The following summary addresses only shareholders who are citizens or residents of the United States who hold their Virginia Bancorp
stock as a capital asset. It does not address all the tax consequences that may be relevant to particular shareholders in light of their individual circumstances or to shareholders that are subject to special rules, including, without limitation:
shareholders who exercise their appraisal rights; financial institutions; tax-exempt organizations; S corporations, partnerships or other pass-through entities (or an investor in an S corporation, partnership or other pass-through entity); insurance
companies; mutual funds; dealers in stocks or securities, or foreign currencies; foreign holders; a trader in securities who elects the mark-to-market method of accounting for the securities; persons that hold shares as a hedge against currency
risk, a straddle or a constructive sale or conversion transaction; holders who acquired their shares pursuant to the exercise of employee stock options or otherwise as compensation or through a tax-qualified retirement plan; holders of Virginia
Bancorp debt instruments; and holders subject to the alternative minimum tax.
The Merger
No ruling has been, or will be, sought from the Internal Revenue Service as to the U.S. federal income tax consequences of the merger.
Consummation of the merger is conditioned upon City Holding and Virginia Bancorp receiving an opinion from Jackson Kelly PLLC to the effect that, based upon facts, representations and assumptions set forth in such opinion, the merger constitutes a
reorganization within the meaning of Section 368 of the Internal Revenue Code and that shareholders of Virginia Bancorp will not recognize gain or loss on the exchange of their shares of Virginia Bancorp stock solely for City Holding common
stock. The issuance of the opinion is conditioned on, among other things, such tax counsels receipt of representation letters from each of City Holding or Virginia Bancorp, in each case in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to such
counsel. The opinion of counsel is not binding on the Internal Revenue Service.
Based upon the above assumptions and
qualifications, for U.S. federal income tax purposes the merger will constitute a reorganization within the meaning of Section 368 of the Internal Revenue Code. Each of Virginia Bancorp and City Holding will be a party to the merger within the
meaning of Section 368(b) of the Internal Revenue Code, and neither of Virginia Bancorp or City Holding will recognize any gain or loss as a result of the merger.
Consequences to Shareholders
Exchange of Virginia Bancorp Stock Solely for City Holding Common Stock.
A holder of Virginia Bancorp stock who exchanges all of his or her Virginia Bancorp stock solely for City Holding common stock will not recognize income, gain
or loss for U.S. federal income tax purposes, except, as discussed below, with respect to cash received in lieu of fractional shares of City Holding common stock.
Exchange of Virginia Bancorp Stock Solely for Cash.
A holder of Virginia Bancorp stock who exchanges his or her Virginia Bancorp stock solely for cash, while any
Virginia Bancorp stock constructively owned by that holder under Section 318 of the Internal Revenue Code, as described below, is also exchanged solely for cash, will recognize capital gain or loss measured by the difference between the
holders adjusted basis for the Virginia Bancorp stock exchanged and the cash received.
61
A holder of Virginia Bancorp stock who exchanges his or her Virginia Bancorp stock actually
owned solely for cash, while any Virginia Bancorp stock constructively owned by that holder under Section 318 of the Internal Revenue Code, as described below, is exchanged in full or part for common stock of City Holding, will be treated as if
that Virginia Bancorp stock exchanged for cash was first exchanged for City Holding common stock which was then redeemed by City Holding in return for such cash.
Exchange of Virginia Bancorp Stock for City Holding Common Stock and Cash.
A holder of Virginia Bancorp stock who exchanges his or her Virginia Bancorp stock
actually owned for a combination of cash and common stock of City Holding will not recognize gain on the receipt of City Holding common stock but will recognize income or gain on the receipt of cash as further described in Possible
Treatment of Cash as a Dividend, below. No loss may be recognized by a holder of Virginia Bancorp stock from the combined distribution of cash and City Holding common stock or the stock distribution.
Cash in Lieu of Fractional Shares.
Holders of Virginia Bancorp stock who receive cash in lieu of
fractional shares of City Holding common stock in the merger generally will be treated as if the fractional shares of City Holding common stock had been distributed to them as part of the merger, and then redeemed by City Holding in exchange for the
cash actually distributed in lieu of the fractional shares, with the redemption generally qualifying as an exchange under Section 302 of the Internal Revenue Code, as described below. Consequently, those holders generally will
recognize capital gain or loss with respect to the cash payments they receive in lieu of fractional shares measured by the difference between the amount of cash received and the tax basis allocated to the fractional shares.
Possible Treatment of Cash as a Dividend.
Whether the cash received by a holder of Virginia
Bancorp stock, in those situations described in the immediately preceding three paragraphs, will be treated as capital gain or as ordinary dividend income is determined under the principles of Section 302 of the Internal Revenue Code. In
applying these principles, the holder is treated as if shares of City Holding having a fair market value equal to the cash paid to the holder had been distributed by City Holding to the holder with such shares of City Holding common stock then being
redeemed by City Holding in return for the cash. If this hypothetical redemption constitutes an exchange under Section 302 of the Internal Revenue Code, taking into account the holders actual and constructive ownership of
Virginia Bancorp stock under Section 318 of the Internal Revenue Code, the holder of Virginia Bancorp stock who receives cash will recognize capital gain measured by the difference between that holders adjusted basis for the portion of
deemed City Holding common stock exchanged and the cash received. If the hypothetical redemption does not qualify as an exchange under Section 302 of the Internal Revenue Code, the cash received by the holder will be treated as
ordinary dividend income, generally to the extent of the holders ratable share of the accumulated earnings and profits of Virginia Bancorp. To the extent the cash distribution exceeds the holders ratable share of accumulated earnings and
profits, the amount received will be applied against and reduce the holders adjusted basis in his or her stock and any excess will be treated as gain from the sale or exchange of the stock.
In general, whether this hypothetical redemption constitutes an exchange under Section 302 of the Internal Revenue Code
will depend upon whether and to what extent the hypothetical redemption reduces the holders percentage stock ownership in City Holding. The hypothetical redemption will be treated as an exchange if, under the principles of
Section 302 of the Internal Revenue Code, the hypothetical redemption is (a) substantially disproportionate, (b) not essentially equivalent to a dividend or (c) results in a complete
termination of the holders interest in City Holding common stock.
In general, the determination of whether the
hypothetical redemption will be substantially disproportionate will require a comparison of (x) the percentage of the outstanding voting stock of City Holding that the holder of Virginia Bancorp stock is deemed to actually and
constructively own immediately before the hypothetical redemption by City Holding and (y) the percentage of the outstanding voting stock of City Holding actually and constructively owned by the holder immediately after the hypothetical
redemption by City Holding. Generally, the hypothetical redemption will be substantially disproportionate to a holder of Virginia Bancorp stock if the percentage described in (y) above is less than 80% of the percentage described in
(x) above.
62
Whether the hypothetical redemption is not essentially equivalent to a dividend
with respect to the holder will depend on the holders particular circumstances. In order for the hypothetical redemption to be not essentially equivalent to a dividend, the hypothetical redemption must result in a meaningful
reduction in the holders percentage stock ownership of the merged companys common stock. The Internal Revenue Service has ruled that a minority shareholder in a publicly traded corporation whose relative stock interest is minimal
and who exercises no control with respect to corporate affairs is considered to have a meaningful reduction generally if such shareholder has some reduction in such shareholders percentage stock ownership. Holders should consult
their tax advisors as to the applicability of the ruling to their own individual circumstances.
The hypothetical redemption
will result in a complete termination of the holders interest in City Holding common stock if either (i) all of the shares actually and constructively owned by the shareholder are exchanged for cash pursuant to the merger or
(ii) all of the shares actually owned by the holder are exchanged pursuant to the merger and the holder is eligible to waive, and effectively waives, the attribution of shares constructively owned by the holder in accordance with the procedures
described in Section 302(c)(2) of the Internal Revenue Code. Only family attribution, as referred to below, may be waived under Section 302(c)(2) of the Internal Revenue Code.
Constructive Ownership.
In applying the constructive ownership provisions of Section 318 of
the Internal Revenue Code, a holder of Virginia Bancorp stock may be deemed to own stock that is owned directly or indirectly by other persons, such as certain family members and entities such as trusts, corporations, partnerships or other entities
in which the holder has an interest. Because the constructive ownership provisions are complex, holders should consult their tax advisors as to the applicability of these provisions.
Taxation of Capital Gain.
Any capital gain recognized by any holder of Virginia Bancorp stock
under the above discussion will be long-term capital gain if the holder has held the Virginia Bancorp stock for more than twelve months at the time of the exchange. In the case of a non-corporate holder, that long-term capital gain may be subject to
a maximum federal income tax of 15%. The deductibility of capital losses by shareholders may be limited.
Basis and Holding Period of City Holding Common Stock.
Each holders aggregate tax basis in City Holding common stock received in the merger will be the same as the holders aggregate tax basis in the Virginia Bancorp
stock exchanged, decreased by the amount of any cash received in the merger and by the amount of any tax basis allocable to any fractional share interest for which cash is received and increased by any gain recognized in the exchange. The holding
period of City Holding common stock received by a holder in the merger will include the holding period of the Virginia Bancorp stock exchanged in the merger to the extent the Virginia Bancorp stock exchanged is held as a capital asset at the time of
the merger.
Backup Withholding and Reporting Requirements
Holders of Virginia Bancorp stock, other than certain exempt recipients, may be subject to backup withholding at a rate of 28% with
respect to any cash payment received in the merger in certain circumstances. Generally, however, backup withholding will not apply to any holder who either (a) furnishes a correct taxpayer identification number and certifies that he or she is
not subject to backup withholding by completing the substitute Form W-9 that will be included as part of the election form and the transmittal letter, or (b) otherwise proves to City Holding and its exchange agent that the holder is exempt from
backup withholding.
Shareholders will also be required to file certain information with their federal income tax returns and
to retain certain records with regard to the merger.
The discussion of U.S. federal income tax consequences set forth
above is for general information only and does not purport to be a complete analysis or listing of all potential tax effects that may apply to a holder of Virginia Bancorp stock. We strongly encourage shareholders of Virginia Bancorp to consult
their tax advisors to determine the particular tax consequences to them of the merger, including the application and effect of federal, state, local, foreign and other tax laws.

INFORMATION ABOUT CITY HOLDING
City Holding is a bank holding company headquartered in Charleston, West Virginia. City Holding conducts its principal activities through
its wholly-owned subsidiary, City National. Through its network of 68 banking offices in West Virginia (57 offices), Kentucky (8 offices), and Ohio (3 offices), City National provides credit, deposit, trust and investment management, and insurance
products and services to its customers. In addition to its branch network, City Nationals delivery channels include ATMs, check cards, interactive voice response systems, and internet technology. As of June 30, 2011, City National has
approximately 7% of the deposit market share in West Virginia and City Holding is the third largest bank holding company headquartered in West Virginia based on deposit share. City Holdings business activities are currently limited to one
reportable business segment, which is community banking.
No portion of City Nationals deposits are derived from a
single person or persons, the loss of which could have a material adverse effect on liquidity, capital, or other elements of financial performance. Although no portion of City Nationals loan portfolio is concentrated within a single industry
or group of related industries, it historically has held residential mortgage loans as a significant portion of its loan portfolio. At December 31, 2011, 54% of City Holdings loan portfolio was categorized as residential mortgage and home
equity loans. However, due to the fractionated nature of residential mortgage lending, there is no concentration of credits that would be considered materially detrimental to City Holdings financial position or operating results.
City Holdings business is not seasonal and has no foreign sources or applications of funds. There are no anticipated material
capital expenditures, or any expected material effects on earnings or City Holdings competitive position as a result of compliance with federal, state and local provisions enacted or adopted relating to environmental protection.
City Holdings loan portfolio is comprised of commercial and industrial, commercial real estate, residential real estate, home
equity, consumer loans, Demand Deposit Account (DDA) overdrafts and previously securitized loans.
The commercial
and industrial loan portfolio consists of loans to corporate borrowers primarily in small to mid-size industrial and commercial companies, as well as automobile dealers, service, retail and wholesale merchants. Collateral securing these loans
includes equipment, machinery, inventory, receivables and vehicles. Commercial and industrial loans are considered to contain a higher level of risk than other loan types although care is taken to minimize these risks. Numerous risk factors impact
this portfolio including industry specific risks such as economy, new technology, labor rates and cyclicality, as well as customer specific factors, such as cash flow, financial structure, operating controls and asset quality. As of
December 31, 2011, City National reported $130.9 million of loans classified as Commercial and Industrial.
Commercial real estate loans consist of commercial mortgages, which generally are secured by nonresidential and multi-family residential
properties, including hotel/motel and apartment lending. Commercial real estate loans are to many of the same customers and carry similar industry risks as the commercial and industrial loans. As of December 31, 2011, City Holding reported
$732.1 million of loans classified as Commercial Real Estate.
City Holding diversifies risk within the commercial
and industrial and commercial real estate portfolios by closely monitoring industry concentrations and portfolios to ensure that it does not exceed established lending guidelines. Diversification is intended to limit the risk of loss from any single
unexpected economic event or trend. Underwriting standards require a comprehensive credit analysis and independent evaluation of virtually all larger balance commercial loans by the loan committee prior to approval.
Residential mortgage loans represent loans to consumers for the purchase or refinance of a residence. These loans are generally financed
over a 15- to 30-year term, and in most cases, are extended to borrowers to finance
64
their primary residence. In some cases, government agencies or private mortgage insurers guarantee the loan. City Holding sells a significant majority of our fixed-rate originations in the
secondary market. As of December 31, 2011, City Holding reported $638.6 million of loans classified as Residential Real Estate.
Home equity lending includes both home equity loans and lines-of-credit. This type of lending, which is secured by a first- or second-mortgage on the borrowers residence, allows customers to borrow
against the equity in their home. Real estate market values as of the time the loan or line is granted directly affect the amount of credit extended. As of December 31, 2011, City Holding reported $433.0 million of loans classified as
Home Equity.
Consumer loans are secured by automobiles, boats, recreational vehicles, and other personal
property. City Holding monitors the risk associated with these types of loans by monitoring such factors as portfolio growth, lending policies and economic conditions. Underwriting standards are continually evaluated and modified based upon these
factors. As of December 31, 2011, City Holding reported $35.8 million of loans classified as Consumer.
DDA
overdraft balances reflect demand deposit accounts that have been overdrawn by deposit customers and have been reclassified as loans. As of December 31, 2011, City Holding reported $2.6 million of loans classified as DDA Overdrafts.
City Holdings loan underwriting guidelines and standards are updated periodically and are presented for approval by
City Holdings board of directors. The purpose of the standards and guidelines is to grant loans on a sound and collectible basis; to invest available funds in a safe, profitable manner; to serve the legitimate credit needs of the communities
in our primary market area; and to ensure that all loan applicants receive fair and equal treatment in the lending process. It is the intent of the underwriting guidelines and standards to: minimize loan losses by carefully investigating the credit
history of each applicant, verify the source of repayment and the ability of the applicant to repay, collateralize those loans in which collateral is deemed to be required, exercise care in the documentation of the application, review, approval, and
origination process, and administer a comprehensive loan collection program. The above guidelines are adhered to and subject to the experience, background and personal judgment of the loan officer assigned to the loan application.
City Holding categorizes commercial loans by industry according to the North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) to monitor
the portfolio for possible concentrations in one or more industries. As of December 31, 2011, City Holding has no industry classifications that exceeded 10% of total loans.
For more information regarding City Holding, please see City Holdings Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011 and its proxy statement for its 2012 Annual Meeting of
Shareholders, both of which are incorporated into this proxy statement/prospectus by reference.

INFORMATION ABOUT VIRGINIA BANCORP
Business
Virginia Savings Bancorp, Inc. was incorporated in the Commonwealth of Virginia in 2007 to serve as the unitary savings and loan holding company for Virginia Savings Bank, F.S.B. Its sole business
activity is its investment in, and control of, Virginia Savings.
Virginia Savings Bank, F.S.B. began operations as a state
chartered savings and loan association in September 1980 under the name Front Royal Savings and Loan Association in Front Royal, Virginia. In August 1983, the name of the institution was changed to Virginia Savings Bank. In
August 1993, the Office of Thrift Supervision (the OTS) approved Virginia Savings application to convert from a Virginia chartered stock state savings bank to a federally chartered stock savings bank with a name change to
Virginia Savings Bank, F.S.B. Virginia Savings was reorganized into a holding company form of organization on November 30, 2007. On that date, and as a result of the reorganization, Virginia Savings became a subsidiary of Virginia
Bancorp and all of the holders of shares of Virginia Savings common stock prior to the reorganization became the holders of Virginia Bancorps common stock.
In December 2009, Virginia Bancorps shareholders approved a reclassification of certain shares of its common stock into Series A Non-Voting Preferred Stock for the purpose of reducing the number of
common shareholders of record to less than 300, such that Virginia Bancorp could deregister its common stock under the Exchange Act. As a result of the reclassification, each share of Virginia Bancorp common stock held by shareholders owning fewer
than 1,000 shares immediately prior to the reclassification was converted into the right to receive one share of Virginia Bancorp Series A Non-Voting Preferred Stock. Virginia Bancorps common stock was deregistered immediately following the
reclassification.
At September 30, 2011, Virginia Bancorp had total assets of approximately $130.4 million, total loans
of approximately $87.4 million, total deposits of approximately $117.1 million and total shareholders equity of approximately $12.7 million.
The markets served by Virginia Savings expanded in 1984 with the addition of branch offices in Woodstock, Virginia and Winchester, Virginia. Virginia Savings further expanded with the opening of a branch
office in Strasburg, Virginia in February 2000 and a branch office in Stephens City, Virginia in July 2008.
Virginia Savings
is a community-oriented savings bank. Its business consists of attracting and servicing deposit accounts from the general public and small to medium-sized businesses in the form of passbook savings, money market accounts, demand accounts and
certificates of deposit, and originating loans to finance the purchase, construction or improvement of residential and commercial real estate in its Virginia markets. Virginia Savings offers other financial services, such as consumer loans to
individuals and commercial loans to its business customers. Virginia Savings is also engaged in certain investment activities authorized by the OCC and may occasionally hold various types of liquid assets including U.S. government and agency
securities, mortgage backed securities, federal funds and certain money market instruments. Its income is derived primarily from interest and fees from loans and its principal expenses are interest on deposits and operating expenses.
Virginia Savings has one subsidiary, Virginia Savings Service Corporation, which has been inactive since 1997.
Virginia Savings is a member of the Federal Home Loan Bank of Atlanta and its deposits are insured by the Deposit Insurance Fund of the
FDIC. As of July 21, 2011, the OCC began serving as the primary bank regulator for Virginia Savings, having assumed such responsibility from the OTS pursuant to the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (the Dodd-Frank
Act).
66
Market Area and Competition
Virginia Savings primary market area for both deposits and loans encompasses Frederick, Shenandoah and Warren Counties, and the City
of Winchester, Virginia. The market area has seen significant population growth in the past several decades as a result of the region being situated on the western fringe of the Northern Virginia portion of the Washington, D.C. metropolitan area.
Virginia Savings faces strong competition both in originating loans and in attracting deposits. Competition in originating
loans comes primarily from commercial banks, savings institutions, credit unions, mortgage lenders and consumer finance companies located in its market area, including large financial institutions that have greater financial and marketing resources
available to them. Virginia Savings competes for loans principally on the basis of the interest rates and loan fees it charges, the types of loans it originates and the quality of services it provides to borrowers.
Virginia Savings also faces substantial competition in attracting deposits from other banks, money market and mutual funds, credit unions
and other financial services companies. The ability of Virginia Savings to attract and retain deposits depends on its ability to provide an investment opportunity that satisfies the requirements of investors as to rate of return, liquidity, risk and
other factors. Virginia Savings competes for these deposits by offering a variety of deposit accounts at competitive rates and convenient business hours.
In the market area in which Virginia Savings competes, as of June 30, 2011, there were 18 financial institutions serving the market with 83 banking offices, the majority of which consist of
commercial bank branches. Based on data published by the FDIC as of June 30, 2011, there were 11 depository institutions (excluding credit unions) with 16 banking offices in Warren County, Virginia alone, and Virginia Savings held 6.92% of the
total deposits held by the offices of all institutions in that county. It held 3.57% of the total deposits held by offices of all depository institutions (other than credit unions) located in Frederick, Shenandoah and Warren Counties and the City of
Winchester, Virginia on a combined basis.

Supervision and Regulation
General.
As of July 21, 2011, pursuant to the Dodd-Frank Act the Federal Reserve assumed
supervisory and regulatory responsibility from the OTS for all savings and loan holding companies, including Virginia Bancorp, and the OCC assumed responsibility from the OTS for the examination, supervision and regulation of all federal savings
associations, including Virginia Savings.
Virginia Bancorp may engage in any activity that a bank holding company may engage
in as being so closely related to banking or controlling banks as to be a proper incident thereto (unless the Federal Reserve prohibits the activity), and any activity that a financial holding company may engage in as being financial in nature or
incidental to such financial activity or as being complementary to a financial activity and not posing undue risk. Virginia Bancorp may also engage in limited additional activities that support the operations of a thrift or a bank. In the event that
Virginia Savings failed to retain its status as a qualified thrift lender, Virginia Bancorp would be subject to all statutes and regulations, including capital requirements and restrictions on permissible activities, as a bank holding company.
As a federally chartered thrift institution, Virginia Savings is subject to extensive regulation by the OCC. The lending,
investment and deposit activities of Virginia Savings must comply with various regulatory requirements. The OCC periodically examines Virginia Savings for compliance with these requirements. Virginia Savings files quarterly reports with the OCC
detailing its activities and its financial condition. Virginia Savings is also subject to certain reserve requirements established by the Federal Reserve. This supervision and regulation is intended primarily for the protection of depositors.
As a subsidiary of a thrift holding company, Virginia Savings is subject to certain restrictions in its dealings with
Virginia Bancorp.
Regulatory Capital Requirement.
OCC capital standards require
thrift institutions to satisfy three different capital requirements. Under these standards, thrifts must maintain tangible capital equal to 1.5% of adjusted total assets, leverage capital equal to at least 4% of adjusted
total assets, and a combination of leverage and supplementary capital, primarily general loss reserves, equal to 8.0% of risk weighted assets.
Of these three capital requirements, the risk-based requirement is the most significant for Virginia Savings. The risk-based capital requirement is measured against the amount of risk-weighted assets,
which equals the sum of each asset and credit-equivalent off-balance sheet item multiplied by an assigned risk weight. Risk weights range from 0% to 100% based on the risk inherent in the type of asset.
While Virginia Savings complies with all of the current capital requirements and expects to continue to do so, any failure to meet the
capital requirements in the future would result in severe penalties under these regulations. See Information About City Holding and Virginia BancorpManagements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
of OperationsLiquidity and Capital Resources. Institutions not in full compliance with the capital standards then applicable will be subject to a capital directive which may include restrictions such as reducing the
banks assets, restrictions on the rate of growth of liabilities, and limitations on the payment of dividends as may be deemed appropriate by the OCC. The OCC is mandated to treat as an unsafe and unsound practice any material failure by a
savings institution to comply with a capital plan or capital directive. The sanctions and penalties that could be imposed range from restrictions on the activities of the institution, termination of insurance of accounts following appropriate
proceedings, and appointment of a conservator or receiver.
The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation Act of 1991
(FDICIA) established a framework of supervisory actions for insured institutions that are not adequately capitalized. The FDICIA defines the capital measures and levels that are used to determine supervisory actions. There are five
capital categories defined in the OCC regulations which implement FDICIA. These range from well capitalized to critically under capitalized. The capital measures include a total risk-based capital ratio, a Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio and a
leverage ratio.
68
Liquidity Requirements.
All savings institutions
are required to hold liquid assets appropriate to the size and nature of their operations. The OCC may determine the adequacy of an institutions liquidity based on safety and soundness considerations.
Federal Home Loan Bank System.
Virginia Savings is a member of the Federal Home Loan Bank
system, which consists of 12 regional banks that are subject to the supervision and regulation of the Federal Housing Finance Board (the FHFB). The regional banks provide a central credit facility primarily for their member savings and
loan associations. Virginia Savings, as a member of the Federal Home Loan Bank of Atlanta (the FHLB), is required to acquire and hold shares of capital stock in the FHLB. Virginia Savings was in compliance with the required investment in
FHLB stock as of September 30, 2011.
The FHLB is funded primarily from proceeds from the sale of the consolidated
obligations of the FHLB. The FHLB makes advances to its members in accordance with policies and procedures established by the FHFB and the board of directors of the FHLB. Advances to qualified thrift lenders, such as Virginia Savings, may be
obtained for most business purposes, but the total amount of advances outstanding may not exceed the amount of Virginia Savings residential housing finance assets.
Qualified Thrift Lender Test.
Virginia Savings must maintain an appropriate level of qualified thrift investments and otherwise meet the standards for a qualified
thrift lender in order to have full borrowing privileges from the FHLB. In order to meet these standards, Virginia Savings must maintain at least 65% of its portfolio assets (defined by regulations) in qualified thrift investments, which
consist primarily of residential mortgages and related investments. Failure to maintain qualified thrift lender status would require Virginia Savings to either convert to a commercial bank charter or comply with the restrictions imposed for
non-compliance. If Virginia Savings does not convert to a commercial bank charter, it must comply with the following additional restrictions on the operations of the institution: (i) it may not engage in any new activity or make any new
investment, directly or indirectly, unless such activity is permissible for a national bank; (ii) its branching powers will be restricted to those of a national bank; (iii) it will not be eligible to obtain advances from the FHLB; and
(iv) its ability to pay dividends will be subject to the rules regarding the payment of dividends by a national bank.
At
September 30, 2011, Virginia Savings met the qualified thrift lender investment requirements as currently defined. Its qualified thrift investments were approximately 92.4% of portfolio assets.
Insurance of Deposits.
Virginia Savings deposits are insured by the FDICs Deposit
Insurance Fund (the DIF). Pursuant to the Dodd-Frank Act, the Federal Deposit Insurance Act was amended to increase the maximum deposit insurance amount from $100,000 to $250,000 and to extend the unlimited deposit insurance coverage for
noninterest-bearing transaction accounts until December 31, 2012. Prior to the Dodd-Frank Act, the unlimited coverage for noninterest-bearing deposit accounts had been provided on a temporary basis pursuant to the FDICs Transaction
Account Guarantee Program (the TAGP) established in October 2008. Institutions had been able to opt out of the provisions of the TAGP but those that chose to participate were assessed an additional fee. The unlimited coverage is now
applicable to all institutions and there is no longer a separate assessment. The TAGP expired on December 31, 2010. The FDIC maintains a risk based assessment system for determining deposit insurance premiums. Four risk categories, each subject
to different premium rates, are established, based upon an institutions status as well capitalized, adequately capitalized or undercapitalized, and the institutions supervisory rating.
In late February 2009, the FDIC adopted an interim rule imposing an emergency special deposit insurance assessment on all banks of 20
basis points. The assessment was collected on September 30, 2009. As a result of competitive pressures for deposits, Virginia Bancorp may not be able to adjust deposit rates to offset the cost of future increases in deposit insurance premiums.
In any event, Virginia Bancorp will have to absorb the cost of the increased premiums until such time as it is able to reprice its time deposits.
69
USA Patriot Act of 2001.
In October 2001, the USA
Patriot Act of 2001 (the Patriot Act) was enacted in response to the terrorist attacks in New York, Pennsylvania and Northern Virginia which occurred on September 11, 2001. The Patriot Act is intended to strengthen U.S. law
enforcements and the intelligence communities abilities to work cohesively to combat terrorism on a variety of fronts. The continuing and potential impact of the Patriot Act and related regulations and policies on financial institutions
of all kinds is significant and wide ranging. The Patriot Act contains sweeping anti-money laundering and financial transparency laws, and imposes various regulations, including standards for verifying client identification at account opening, and
rules to promote cooperation among financial institutions, regulators and law enforcement entities in identifying parties that may be involved in terrorism or money laundering.
Federal Reserve System.
Pursuant to regulations of the Federal Reserve, savings and loan
associations are required to maintain average daily reserves at mandated ratios against their transaction accounts. In addition, reserves must be maintained on certain non-personal time deposits. Because reserves must be maintained in the form of
vault cash or in a non-interest bearing account at the Federal Reserve Bank of Richmond, the effect of the reserve requirement is to reduce the amount of Virginia Savings interest earning assets. As of September 30, 2011, Virginia Savings
met its reserve requirements.
Dodd-Frank Act.
During 2010, the bank regulatory
landscape was dramatically changed by the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, which was signed into law on July 21, 2010 and which implements far-reaching regulatory reform. Among its more significant provisions, the
Dodd-Frank Act:
|
|
|
established the Financial Stability Oversight Counsel made up of the heads of the various bank regulatory and other agencies to identify and respond to
risks to U.S. financial stability arising from ongoing activities of large financial companies;
|
|
|
|
established centralized responsibility for consumer financial protection by creating a new Consumer Financial Protection Bureau which will be
responsible for implementing, examining and enforcing compliance with federal consumer financial laws with respect to financial institutions with over $10 billion in assets;
|
|
|
|
required that banking agencies establish for most bank holding companies the same leverage and risk-based capital requirements as apply to insured
depository institutions, and that bank holding companies and banks be well-capitalized and well managed in order to acquire banks located outside their home states; and, prohibits bank holding companies from including new trust preferred securities
in their Tier 1 capital and, beginning with a three-year phase-in period on January 1, 2013, requires bank holding companies with assets over $15 billion to deduct existing trust preferred securities from their Tier 1 capital;
|
|
|
|
required the FDIC to set a minimum DIF reserve ratio of 1.35% and that the DIF reserve ratio be increased to that level by September 30, 2020,
off-set the effect of the higher minimum ratio on insured depository institutions with assets of less than $10 billion, and changed the assessment base used for calculating insurance assessments from the amount of insured deposits to average
consolidated total assets minus average tangible equity;
|
|
|
|
established a permanent $250,000 limit for federal deposit insurance; provided separate, unlimited federal deposit insurance until December 31,
2012 for noninterest-bearing demand transaction accounts, and repealed the federal prohibition on the payment of interest on certain demand deposits, thereby permitting depository institutions to pay interest on business transaction and other
accounts;
|
|
|
|
amended the Electronic Fund Transfer Act to, among other things, give the Federal Reserve the authority to establish rules regarding interchange fees
charged for electronic debit transactions by payment card issuers having assets over $10 billion and to enforce a new statutory requirement that those fees be reasonable and proportional to the actual cost of a transaction to the issuer; and
|
|
|
|
required implementation of various corporate governance processes affecting areas such as executive compensation and proxy access by shareholders.
|
70
Many aspects of the Dodd-Frank Act are subject to rulemaking and will take effect over time,
making it difficult to anticipate the overall financial impact on financial institutions and consumers. Provisions in the legislation that affect the payment of interest on demand deposits and interchange fees are likely to increase the costs
associated with deposits as well as reduce banks revenues.
Community Reinvestment
Act.
Under the Community Reinvestment Act of 1977 (the CRA), an insured bank has a continuing and affirmative obligation, consistent with its safe and sound operation, to help meet the credit needs of its entire community,
including low and moderate income neighborhoods. The CRA does not establish specific lending requirements or programs for banks, nor does it limit a banks discretion to develop, consistent with the CRA, the types of products and services it
believes are best suited to its particular community. The CRA requires the federal banking regulators, in their examinations of insured banks, to assess the banks records of meeting the credit needs of their communities, using the ratings of
outstanding, satisfactory, needs to improve, or substantial noncompliance, and to take that record into account in their evaluations of various applications by those banks. All banks are required to
make public disclosure of their CRA performance ratings. Virginia Savings received a satisfactory rating in its last CRA examination during 2010.
Other Safety and Soundness Regulations.
The federal banking agencies have broad powers under federal law to take prompt corrective action to resolve problems of
insured depository institutions. The extent of these powers depends upon whether the institutions in question are well capitalized, adequately capitalized, undercapitalized, significantly
undercapitalized or critically undercapitalized, as such terms are defined under uniform regulations defining such capital levels issued by each of the federal banking agencies.
Legal Proceedings
In the ordinary course of its operations, Virginia Bancorp is a party to various legal proceedings. Based upon information currently available, management believes that such legal proceedings, in the
aggregate, will not have a material adverse effect on the business, financial condition or results of operations of Virginia Bancorp.

Related Party Transactions
Certain directors
and officers of Virginia Bancorp are customers of Virginia Savings and had transactions with the bank during 2011. All loans and commitments to loan by Virginia Savings to such directors and officers were made in the ordinary course of business and
on substantially the same terms, including interest rates and collateral, as those prevailing for comparable transactions with other persons and did not involve more than the normal risk of collectability or present other unfavorable features.
Virginia Savings expects to have in the future similar banking transactions with such directors and officers. The aggregate balance of loans outstanding to directors and officers of Virginia Bancorp was $2,020,561 on September 30, 2011.
Mr. Kent E. Coons, a director of Virginia Bancorp and Virginia Savings, provides real estate appraisal and
inspection services to Virginia Savings. Mr. Coons received $60,580 in 2010 and $38,430 in 2011 for these services. During 2010 and 2011, Mr. Coons is the only director providing services to Virginia Savings. Management of Virginia Bancorp
and Virginia Savings anticipates that Mr. Coons will continue to provide services to Virginia Savings in the future. Management is of the opinion that the fees paid for the above stated services are comparable to amounts which would have
otherwise been charged by unrelated parties.

MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
OF VIRGINIA BANCORP
The following discussion is intended to assist the
reader in understanding the financial condition and results of operations of Virginia Savings Bancorp, Inc. The information contained in this section should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes
contained elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus. The data presented for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010 are derived from the unaudited interim financial statements of Virginia Bancorp and include, in the opinion of
Virginia Bancorps management, all adjustments necessary to present fairly the data for such periods.
Overview of Operating Performance
General
Virginia Savings Bancorp, Inc. is a savings and loan holding company incorporated in Virginia and headquartered in Front Royal, Virginia.
Virginia Bancorp conducts its business primarily through its banking subsidiary, Virginia Savings Bank, F.S.B.
Virginia
Bancorp experienced net losses attributable to common equivalents in the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2009. In fiscal year 2010, Virginia Bancorp returned to profitability with net income of $344,567. Through the nine months ended
September 30, 2011, Virginia Bancorps net income of $489,652 exceeded the companys net income for the full year of 2010 and was an increase of 80.5% over the net income for the nine months ended September 30, 2010.
All references to net income or loss in this section are to income or loss attributable to common equivalents, which term
includes for this purpose all outstanding shares of Virginia Bancorp common stock and Virginia Bancorp preferred stock. The Virginia Bancorp preferred stock is a common stock equivalent because the holders of this class of stock participate in
dividend payments with the holders of Virginia Bancorp common stock and because they vote with common stock shareholders as a single class on certain significant matters requiring shareholder approval.
Financial Condition
At December 31, 2010, total assets of Virginia Bancorp were $127.7 million compared to 2009 year end total assets of $127.3 million. During the nine months ended September 30, 2011, total assets
increased by $2.7 million to $130.4 million at September 30, 2011.
Loans receivable have been declining in recent
years since the downturn in the real estate market in 2007 in the markets served by Virginia Savings. As of September 30, 2011, loans receivable were $87.4 million. Because of the lack of loan growth opportunities in Virginia Bancorps
market area, Virginia Bancorp began investing in mortgage backed securities of the General National Mortgage Association in May 2010. These securities are backed by the full faith and credit of the United States government and have yields between
3.0% and 4.0%, while providing liquidity in the event that Virginia Bancorp has an opportunity to originate portfolio loans.
Deposits have provided a stable source of funding for Virginia Bancorp. At both December 31, 2009 and 2010, total deposits were
approximately $115.0 million, and have increased to $117.1 million at September 30, 2011. Virginia Bancorp has had no borrowings since December 31, 2007.
Asset Quality
Management of Virginia Savings
conducts a quarterly loss analysis of its assets with an emphasis on Virginia Savings loan portfolio. As a result of this analysis, management determines loan loss allowances which reflect managements judgment as to the risk inherent in
the loan portfolio. The amount of the loss allowance is
74
determined by an evaluation of historical loan losses, the number and amount of non-performing loans, credit concentrations, delinquency trends, credit grading assigned to large borrower
relationships, collateral values and an assessment of current and anticipated economic conditions.
The allowance for loan
losses represents an amount that, in managements judgment, will be adequate to absorb any losses on existing loans that may become uncollectible. The provision for loan losses increases the allowance, and loans charged off, net of recoveries,
reduce the allowance. The following table summarizes activity in the allowance for loan losses for the period indicated:

The following table shows an allocation of the allowance for loan losses among loan categories based upon analysis of the loan portfolios composition, historical loan loss experience and other
factors, as well as the ratio of the related outstanding loan balances to total loans. While management segments the loan portfolio into several categories for purposes of evaluating the adequacy of loan loss allowances and makes tentative
allocations of these allowances to specific loan products, all general loss reserves are available to absorb losses from any sector of the loan portfolio.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
At September 30, 2011, Virginia Bancorp had approximately $12.9 million of liquid assets in the form of cash and cash equivalent
investments. Virginia Bancorp also has $19.5 million of mortgage backed securities and $1.0 million of investment securities that are classified as held to maturity. These securities are available as collateral for the borrowing needs of Virginia
Savings should the need arise. As of September 30, 2011, Virginia Bancorp has pledged $500,000 of held to maturity U.S. agency bonds as collateral for public deposits of Virginia counties.
Virginia Bancorp has approximately $12,990,000 of pre-approved credit from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Atlanta, and did not have any
borrowings outstanding against this line of credit at September 30, 2011.
At September 30, 2011, Virginia
Bancorps current liquidity position is more than adequate to meet its lending needs and to fund potential customer withdrawals from deposit accounts.
At September 30, 2011, Virginia Bancorps common equity was equal to 8.96% of total assets and is increased from 8.57% at September 30, 2010.
The following table provides information as of September 30, 2011 and September 30, 2010 on the regulatory capital requirements
applicable to Virginia Savings, as well as Virginia Savings actual regulatory capital amounts.

reported for Virginia Savings differs from its capital as determined under generally accepted accounting principles in the United States by approximately $452,000, which amount is related to the accounting for real estate acquired through
foreclosure.

To be
considered a well-capitalized institution under the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation Improvement Act of 1991, Virginia Savings must have a core capital ratio of at least 5.0%, a Tier I risk-based capital ratio of at least 6%, and a total
risk-based capital ratio of at least 10%. The most recent notification from federal regulators categorized Virginia Savings as well-capitalized.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
Virginia Savings
routinely engages in off-balance sheet arrangements in the normal course of business to meet the financial needs of its customers. These arrangements consist of outstanding mortgage loan commitments, letters of credit and lines of credit and
involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit risk in excess of the amount recognized in Virginia Bancorps statement of financial condition. The contractual amounts of these instruments are an indication of the extent of involvement Virginia
Savings has in each class of off-balance sheet financial instruments. Virginia Savings exposure to credit loss from non-performance by the other party to the above-mentioned financial instruments is represented by the contractual amount of
those instruments. Virginia Savings uses the same credit policies in making commitments and conditional obligations as it does for on-balance sheet instruments.
Virginia Savings had outstanding commitments to make mortgage loans secured by real property, exclusive of the undisbursed portion of loans in process, of approximately $834,200 at September 30,
2011, all of which expire within one year. Loans in process represent the undisbursed portion of construction loans already on Virginia Savings books. Disbursements are made at each stage of the construction process after an inspection by a
qualified real estate appraiser. At September 30, 2011, Virginia Savings had loans in process commitments of approximately $1.4 million that expire within nine months.
Virginia Savings also issues stand-by letters of credit that are unsecured conditional commitments issued by Virginia Savings guaranteeing performance by a customer to a third party. These guarantees are
issued primarily to support private borrowing arrangements. At September 30, 2011, Virginia Savings had $41,300 of stand-by letters of credit outstanding with expiration dates through August 10, 2012.
77
Lines of credit are loan commitments to individuals and companies that have fixed expiration
dates, as long as there is no violation of any condition established in the loan agreement. Virginia Savings evaluates each customers credit worthiness on a case-by-case basis. Virginia Savings, at September 30, 2011, had secured lines of
credit with available balances of $8.1 million and unsecured lines of credit with available balances of $421,000. Many of these commitments are expected to expire without being fully drawn down. The total commitment amounts do not, therefore,
necessarily represent future cash requirements.
The risks involved in these off-balance sheet arrangements are essentially
the same as those involved in extending loan facilities to customers. No amount has been recognized in Virginia Bancorps statement of financial condition as of September 30, 2011 as a liability for credit loss due to off-balance sheet
arrangements. Management does not anticipate any difficulties in funding these commitments.

For the year ended December 31, 2010, net interest income increased $304,000, a 7.1% increase from
2009. This is the net amount of a $352,000 decrease in interest income and a $656,000 decrease in interest expense.
Interest
income on loans receivable decreased $482,000 in 2010 as compared to 2009. The average balance of loans receivable decreased from $101.4 million in 2009 to $94.9 million in 2010. This reduction caused a $398,000 decrease in interest income from
loans receivable. Interest income decreased $84,000 due to a 9 basis point decrease in the average yield on loans receivable.
Interest income from mortgage backed securities (MBS) increased $182,000 from 2009 to 2010. This increase in interest income
was largely due to the increased volume in MBS held by Virginia Savings in 2010 compared to 2009.
Interest from investment
securities decreased $58,000 in 2010 from 2009. This decrease occurred in approximately equal proportions due to a decreased average balance of investments and decreased interest yields.
Interest expense decreased $656,000 in 2010, which was primarily attributable to a $667,000 decrease in interest expense on certificates
of deposit. All other types of deposit accounts reflect a net increase in interest expense of $11,000. The average balance of certificates decreased $4.9 million from 2009 to 2010. Virginia Savings did not aggressively pursue growth in certificates
during 2010 because of the diminished demand for new loans and in an effort to reduce Virginia Savings overall cost of deposits. Interest expense on certificates of deposit decreased $142,000 because of the reduced average balance of
certificates of deposit in 2010. The average rate paid on certificates of deposit decreased by 84 basis points, falling from 2.91% in 2009 to 2.07% in 2010. The rate driven decrease in interest expense was $525,000.
Provision for Loan Losses.
Virginia Bancorp recorded a $277,600 provision for loan losses in the
year ended December 31, 2010 as compared to a $496,900 provision for loan losses in the year ended December 31, 2009. Virginia Savings accounts for the credit risk associated with its lending activities through its provision for loan
losses. The provision is the expense recognized in Virginia Bancorps statement of operations to adjust the loan loss allowance to an appropriate balance as determined by Virginia Savings credit risk analysis procedures.
80
The $277,600 provision for loan losses in 2010 was in recognition of concentrations of
credit risk in Virginia Savings loan portfolio, Virginia Savings economic concerns over both the local and national real estate markets, and other uncertainties potentially affecting the performance of the loan portfolio.
Non-Interest Income.
Total non-interest income for 2010 was $1,156,300 as compared to $1,223,500
for 2009, a $67,200 decrease. Fees from transaction accounts are Virginia Bancorps primary source of non-interest income, and such fees decreased $46,900 in 2010 from 2009. Income from mortgage banking activities increased $62,200 in 2010 over
2009 due to improved income from the sale of mortgage loans in the secondary market. Other income decreased $41,900 in 2010 from 2009. Losses on the sale of foreclosed real estate, and loan fees and late charges, both decreased approximately $20,000
in 2010 from 2009 levels.
Non-Interest Expense.
Management of Virginia Bancorp has
pursued a cost reduction program over the last two years and realized a $707,000 decrease in non-interest expense in 2009 followed by a $610,000 decrease in 2010.
Professional fees decreased $248,200, or 58.4%, in 2010. Prior year expenses were abnormally high because of costs related to Virginia Bancorps deregistration of its common stock with the Securities
and Exchange Commission.
Data processing expenses were reduced $104,800 from 2009, a 12.8% decrease. Virginia Bancorp entered
into a new contract with its core processor effective July 1, 2010 and realized reduced costs during the second half of 2010.
Deposit insurance premiums decreased $100,300 in 2010 compared to 2009. The FDIC deposit insurance premiums paid in 2009 included a special assessment of approximately $60,000. Virginia Savings also
experienced higher regular premium rates in 2010 compared to 2009.
Other expense decreased 10.6%, or $54,100 in 2010 from the
2009 level. This decrease is reflective of managements ongoing cost reduction efforts

For the nine months ended September 30, 2011, net interest income increased $214,000, a 6.2% increase
over 2010 results. This resulted from an $11,000 increase in interest income and a $203,000 decrease in interest expense.
Interest on loans receivable decreased $235,000 during the first nine months of 2011 compared to the same period in 2010. The average
balance of loans receivable decreased from $95.4 million in 2010 to $89.9 million in 2011. This resulted in a $255,000 decrease in interest income from loans receivable. Interest income increased $20,000 in 2011 due to a modest 3 basis point
increase in the average yield on loans receivable.
Interest income from MBS increased $336,000 during the first nine months
of 2011 compared to the same period in 2010. The increase in interest income was due to the increased volume of MBS that Virginia Savings held in 2011 versus 2010. The average balance of mortgage backed securities was $17.9 million in the first nine
months of 2011 compared to $3.9 million in the same period in 2010.
Interest from investment securities decreased $87,000 in
2011 from 2010. This decrease occurred as management shifted away from investment securities because of the lower yields available on these instruments compared to higher yields available on mortgage backed securities with no sacrifice in investment
quality.
Interest expense decreased $203,000 during the first nine months of 2011 compared to the same period in 2010,
primarily attributable to a $164,000 decrease in interest expense on certificates of deposit. All other types of deposit accounts reflected a net decrease in interest expense of $39,000, generally due to lower rates paid on these accounts.
The average balance of certificates of deposit decreased $3.9 million for the first nine months of 2011 compared to the same
period in 2010. As in the prior periods, Virginia Savings did not aggressively pursue growth in certificates during 2011 because of the diminished demand for new loans and in an effort to reduce Virginia Savings overall cost of deposits.
Interest expense on certificates of deposit decreased $61,000 because
83
of the reduced average balance of certificates of deposit in 2011. The average rate paid on certificates of deposit decreased by 23 basis points, declining from 2.09% in 2010 to 1.86% in 2011.
The rate driven decrease in interest expense was $103,000.
Provision for Loan
Losses.
Virginia Bancorp recorded a $81,900 provision for loan losses for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 as compared to a $167,300 provision for loan losses in the nine months ended September 30, 2010. Virginia Savings
accounts for the credit risk associated with its lending activities through its provision for loan losses. The provision is the expense recognized in the statement of operations to adjust the loan loss allowance to an appropriate balance as
determined by Virginia Savings credit risk analysis procedures.
The $81,900 provision for loan losses in 2011 is in
recognition of concentrations of credit risk in Virginia Savings loan portfolio, Virginia Savings economic concerns over both the local and national real estate markets, and other uncertainties potentially affecting the performance of
the loan portfolio.
Non-Interest Income.
Total non-interest income for the nine
months ended September 30, 2011 was $783,300 as compared to $822,700 in 2010, a $39,400 decrease. Income from loan fees and late charges decreased $31,600 due to a lesser volume of late charges in 2011. All other non-interest income accounts
decreased a net amount of $7,800.
Non-Interest Expense.
Total non-interest expenses
for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 decreased by $62,900, or a 1.7% decline from the same period in 2010.
Data
processing expenses decreased $105,900 in the nine months ended September 30, 2011 compared to the same period in 2010 as Virginia Savings has continued to realize the benefits of a lower cost servicing contract with its core processor that was
effective July 1, 2010.
Expenses related to foreclosed real estate increased $76,900 in the first nine months of 2011
compared to the same period in 2010. This increase is due to higher maintenance and carrying cost for foreclosed properties. More than half of the 2011 increase occurred due to Virginia Savings foreclosure on four loans to a single borrower in late
2010 that were secured by single family residences. Early in 2011, it was discovered that the real estate taxes had not been paid in full on these properties, and Virginia Savings had to pay the delinquent taxes on these properties that totaled
approximately $42,000.
Salaries and employee benefits decreased $39,300 in the first nine months of 2011 from the comparable
period in 2010. All other non-interest expenses decreased $5,400.

For the three months ended September 30, 2011, net interest income decreased $10,000. This was the
net of a $79,000 decrease in interest income and a $69,000 decrease in interest expense.
Interest on loans receivable
decreased $119,000 during the third quarter of 2011 compared to the same quarter in 2010. The average balance of loans receivable decreased from $94.5 million in 2010 to $89.2 million in 2011. This resulted in an $84,000 volume related decrease in
interest income from loans receivable. Interest income decreased $35,000 in 2011 due to a 15 basis point decrease in the average yield on loans receivable.
Interest income from MBSs increased $76,000 during the third quarter of 2011 compared to the same period in 2010. The increase in interest income was due to the increased volume of MBSs that
Virginia Savings held in 2011 versus 2010. The average balance of mortgage backed securities was $19.5 million in the third quarter of 2011 compared to $8.1 million in the same period in 2010.
Interest from investment securities decreased $36,000 in 2011 from 2010. This decrease occurred as management shifted away from
investment securities because of the lower yields available on these instruments versus the greater yields available on mortgage backed securities with no sacrifice in investment quality.
Interest expense decreased $69,000 during the third quarter of 2011 compared to the same period in 2010, primarily attributable to a
$59,000 decrease in interest expense on certificates of deposit. All other types of deposit accounts reflected a net decrease in interest expense of $10,000, generally due to lower rates paid on these accounts.
The average balance of certificates of deposit decreased $5.1 million during the third quarter of 2011 compared to the same period in
2010. As in the prior periods, Virginia Savings did not aggressively pursue growth in certificates during 2011 because of the diminished demand for new loans and in an effort to reduce Virginia Savings overall cost of deposits. Interest
expense on certificates of deposit decreased $34,000 because
86
of the reduced average balance of certificates of deposit in 2011. The average rate paid on certificates of deposit decreased by 23 basis points, going from 2.02% in 2010 to 1.79% in 2011. The
rate driven decrease in interest expense was $25,000.
Provision for Loan
Losses
.
During the third quarter of 2011, the provision for loan losses was $44,300, compared to a reduction in loan loss provision of $4,000 in the same period in 2010.
Virginia Bancorp made a $44,300 provision for loan losses for the three months ended September 30, 2011. Virginia Savings accounts
for the credit risk associated with its lending activities through its provision for loan losses. The provision is the expense recognized in the statement of operations to adjust the loan loss allowance to an appropriate balance as determined by
Virginia Savings credit risk analysis procedures.
The $44,300 provision for loan losses in 2011 is in recognition of
concentrations of credit risk in Virginia Savings loan portfolio, Virginia Savings economic concerns over both the local and national real estate markets, and other uncertainties potentially affecting the performance of the loan
portfolio.
Non-Interest Income
.
Total non-interest income for the three
months ended September 30, 2011 was $278,100 as compared to $282,500 in 2010, a $4,400 decrease. Income from transaction account fees increased $14,200 due to higher insufficient fund fees and ATM fees. All other non-interest income accounts
decreased a net amount of $18,600, none of which changed by a material dollar amount.
Non-Interest Expenses
.
Total non-interest expenses for the three months ended
September 30, 2011 increased by $32,200, a 2.7% increase from the same period in 2010.
Employee compensation and
benefits increased $16,700 because of higher salaries and wages.
Expenses related to foreclosed real estate increased $23,500
in the third quarter of 2011 compared to the same period in 2010. This increase is due in part to a $10,900 in maintenance and carrying cost for foreclosed properties. Provision for losses on foreclosed properties increased $12,600 over the third
quarter 2010 provision.
FDIC insurance premiums decreased $25,700 from third quarter 2010 because of lower assessment rates.
All other non-interest expense increased a net amount of $17,700 in third quarter 2011 over third quarter 2010.

DESCRIPTION OF CITY HOLDING CAPITAL STOCK
General
The authorized capital stock of City Holding consists of 50,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $2.50 per share, and 500,000 shares of preferred stock, par value of $25.00 per share. City Holding
has shares of common stock issued (including shares held
as treasury shares) and no shares of preferred stock issued, each as of , 2012. The outstanding shares are held by approximately
shareholders of record, as well as shareholders in street
name as of , 2012. All outstanding shares of City Holding common stock are fully paid and non-assessable. The unissued portion of
City Holdings authorized common stock (subject to registration approval by the SEC) and the treasury shares are available for issuance as the board of directors of City Holding determines advisable.
Common Stock
Voting Rights.
City Holding has only one class of stock issued and outstanding and all voting rights are vested in the holders of City Holdings common stock.
On all matters subject to a vote of shareholders, the shareholders of City Holding will be entitled to one vote for each share of common stock owned. Shareholders of City Holding have cumulative voting rights with regard to election of directors. At
the present time, no senior securities of City Holding are outstanding, nor does the board of directors presently contemplate issuing senior securities.
Dividend Rights.
The shareholders of City Holding are entitled to receive dividends when and as declared by its board of directors. Dividends have been paid
quarterly. Dividends were $1.36 per share in 2011, $1.36 per share in 2010 and $1.36 per share in 2009. The dividend to be paid in the first quarter will be $0.35 per share. The payment of dividends is subject to the restrictions set forth in the
West Virginia Corporation Act and the limitations imposed by the Federal Reserve.
Payment of dividends by City Holding is
dependent upon receipt of dividends from its banking subsidiary. City National is subject to various statutory restrictions on its ability to pay dividends to City Holding. Specifically, the approval of the OCC is required prior to the payment of
dividends by City National in excess of its earnings retained in the current year plus retained net profits for the preceding two years. The payment of dividends by City Holding and City National may also be limited by other factors, such as
requirements to maintain adequate capital above regulatory guidelines. The OCC has the authority to prohibit any bank under its jurisdiction from engaging in an unsafe and unsound practice in conducting its business. Depending upon the financial
condition of City National, the payment of dividends could be deemed to constitute such an unsafe or unsound practice. The Federal Reserve Board and the OCC have indicated their view that it generally would be an unsafe and unsound practice to pay
dividends except out of current operating earnings. The Federal Reserve Board has stated that, as a matter of prudent banking, a bank or bank holding company should not maintain its existing rate of cash dividends on common stock unless (1) the
organizations net income available to common shareholders over the past year has been sufficient to fund fully the dividends and (2) the prospective rate of earnings retention appears consistent with the organizations capital needs,
asset quality, and overall financial condition. Moreover, the Federal Reserve Board has indicated that bank holding companies should serve as a source of managerial and financial strength to their subsidiary banks. Accordingly, the Federal Reserve
Board has stated that a bank holding company should not maintain a level of cash dividends to its shareholders that places undue pressure on the capital of bank subsidiaries, or that can be funded only through additional borrowings or other
arrangements that may undermine the bank holding companys ability to serve as a source of strength.
Liquidation Rights.
Upon any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of its affairs, the holders of City Holding common stock are entitled to receive pro rata all of the assets of City Holding for distribution to shareholders. There
are no redemption or sinking fund provisions applicable to the common stock.
88
Assessment and Redemption.
Shares of City Holding
common stock presently outstanding are validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable. There is no provision for any voluntary redemption of City Holding common stock.
Transfer Agent and Registrar.
The transfer agent and registrar for City Holdings common stock is Computershare Investor Services, LLC.
Preferred Stock
The authorized preferred stock may be issued by the City Holding board of directors in one or more series, from time to time, with each such series to consist of such number of shares and to have such
voting powers, full or limited, or no voting powers, and such designations, preferences and relative, participating, optional or other special rights, and the qualifications, limitations or restrictions thereof, as shall be stated in the resolution
or resolutions providing for the issuance of such series adopted by the City Holding board of directors. Currently, no shares of preferred stock have been issued.
The authorization of preferred stock will not have an immediate effect on the holders of City Holding common stock. The actual effect of the issuance of any shares of preferred stock upon the rights of
the holders of common stock cannot be stated until the City Holding board of directors determines the specific rights of any shares of preferred stock. However, the effects might include, among other things, restricting dividends on common stock,
diluting the voting power of common stock, reducing the market price of common stock or impairing the liquidation rights of the common stock without further action by the shareholders. Holders of the common stock will not have preemptive rights with
respect to the preferred stock.
Preemptive Rights
No holder of any share of the capital stock of City Holding has any preemptive right to subscribe to an additional issue of its capital
stock or to any security convertible into such stock.
Certain Provisions of the Bylaws
Indemnification and Limitations on Liability of Officers and Directors.
As permitted by the
West Virginia Business Corporation Act, the articles of incorporation of City Holding contain provisions that indemnify its directors and officers to the fullest extent permitted by West Virginia law. These provisions do not limit or eliminate
the rights of City Holding or any shareholder to seek an injunction or any other non-monetary relief in the event of a breach of a directors or officers fiduciary duty. In addition, these provisions apply only to claims against a
director or officer arising out of his role as a director or officer and do not relieve a director or officer from liability if he engaged in willful misconduct or a knowing violation of the criminal law or any federal or state securities law.
In addition, the articles of incorporation of City Holding provide for the indemnification of both directors and officers for
expenses that they incur in connection with the defense or settlement of claims asserted against them in their capacities as directors and officers. This right of indemnification extends to judgments or penalties assessed against them. City Holding
has limited its exposure to liability for indemnification of directors and officers by purchasing directors and officers liability insurance coverage.
The rights of indemnification provided in the articles of incorporation of City Holding are not exclusive of any other rights that may be available under any insurance or other agreement, by vote of
shareholders or disinterested directors or otherwise.
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities
Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers or persons controlling City Holding pursuant to the foregoing provisions, City Holding has
89
been informed that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is therefore unenforceable.
Shares Eligible for Future Sale
All of the City Holding shares that will be exchanged for shares of Virginia Bancorp stock upon consummation of the merger will be freely tradable without restriction or registration under the Securities
Act.
City Holding cannot predict the effect, if any, that future sales of shares of its common stock, or the availability of
shares for future sales, will have on the market price prevailing from time to time. Sales of substantial amounts of shares of City Holding common stock, or the perception that such sales could occur, could adversely affect the prevailing market
price of the shares.
90
COMPARISON OF THE RIGHTS OF SHAREHOLDERS

stock, cash or stock and cash. City Holding is organized under the laws of the State of West Virginia and Virginia Bancorp is organized under the laws of the Commonwealth of Virginia. On consummation of the merger, some of Virginia Bancorps
shareholders will become City Holding shareholders, and the Articles of Incorporation of City Holding Company (the City Holding Articles) and the Amended and Restated Bylaws of City Holding Company (the City Holding Bylaws)
will govern their rights as City Holding shareholders.
The following summary discusses some of the material differences
between the current rights of City Holding shareholders and Virginia Bancorp shareholders under the City Holding Articles, City Holding Bylaws, the Articles of Incorporation of Virginia Bancorp (the Virginia Bancorp Articles), and the
Bylaws of Virginia Bancorp (the Virginia Bancorp Bylaws). The statements in this section are qualified in their entirety by reference to, and are subject to, the detailed provisions of the Virginia Stock Corporation Act, the
West Virginia Business Corporation Act (the WVBCA), and the articles of incorporation and bylaws of City Holding and Virginia Bancorp, respectively.
Authorized Capital
City Holding.
City Holding is authorized to issue 50,000,000 shares of common stock, $2.50 par
value per share, all of which have identical rights and preferences, and 500,000 shares of preferred stock, $25.00 par value per share. As of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus, City Holding had outstanding
shares of its common stock and no shares of preferred stock. Each of the outstanding shares of City Holding common stock has been validly issued, fully
paid, and is not liable for further call or assessment.

Voting Rights and Cumulative Voting
City Holding.
Each holder of City Holding common stock generally has the right to cast one vote
for each share of City Holding common stock held of record on all matters submitted to a vote of shareholders of City Holding. If City Holding issues shares of preferred stock, holders of the preferred stock may also possess voting rights. The WVBCA
and the City Holding Bylaws allow a shareholder to cumulate his votes in the election of directors.
Virginia Bancorp.
Each holder of Virginia Bancorp common stock generally has the right to cast
one vote for each share of Virginia Bancorp common stock held of record on all matters submitted to a vote of shareholders of Virginia Bancorp. Holders of Virginia Bancorp preferred stock generally do not have voting rights. Under the VSCA and
pursuant to the Virginia Bancorp Articles, however, each holder of Virginia Bancorps Series A Non-Voting Preferred Stock has the right to vote on significant matters such as (a) an amendment to the articles that would change the rights,
preferences, powers or privileges of the Series A Non-Voting Preferred Stock, (b) a share exchange, merger, reclassification or other business combination, and (c) the creation, authorization or issuance of any class or series of any of
its equity securities (or rights relating thereto) which would rank on parity with or senior to the Series A Non-Voting Preferred Stock with respect to dividend rights or rights upon Virginia Bancorps liquidation, winding-up or dissolution. On
matters for which the holders of Series A Non-Voting Preferred Stock are entitled to vote by Virginia law, the holders shall have the right to one vote for each share of Series A Non-Voting Preferred Stock held of record and will vote
together with Virginia Bancorp common stock as a single class. The Virginia Bancorp Bylaws do not allow for cumulative voting in the election of directors.
91
Dividends
City Holding and Virginia Bancorp may pay dividends and make other distributions on its securities at such times, in such amounts, to such
persons, for such consideration and upon such terms and conditions as City Holdings or Virginia Bancorps board of directors may determine, subject to certain statutory restrictions.
Liquidation
In the event of liquidation, dissolution or winding up of City Holding or Virginia Bancorp, the holders of shares of common stock will be entitled to receive, after payment or provision for payment of
City Holdings and Virginia Bancorps debts and other liabilities and of all shares having priority over the common stock, a ratable share of the remaining assets of City Holding or Virginia Bancorp, respectively.
Preemptive Rights
Holders of City Holding and Virginia Bancorp common stock are not entitled to preemptive rights with respect to any shares which may be issued.
Preferred Stock
The merger agreement prohibits
Virginia Bancorps board of directors from issuing preferred stock prior to the effective time of the merger. The boards of directors of City Holding and Virginia Bancorp are generally authorized to issue preferred stock in series and to fix
and state the voting powers, designations, preferences and other rights of the shares of each such series and the limitations thereof. City Holdings preferred stock may rank prior to its common stock as to dividend rights, liquidation
preferences or both, and may have full or limited voting rights. The holders of such preferred stock will be entitled to vote as a separate class or series under certain circumstances, regardless of any other voting rights which such holders may
have.
Virginia Bancorps Series A Non-Voting Preferred Stock ranks equal to its common stock as to dividend rights
and prior to its common stock as to liquidation preferences. On those matters on which the holders of Virginia Bancorps Series A Non-Voting Preferred Stock are entitled to vote by law, the holders have the right to one vote for each share
of stock held and their votes shall be counted collectively, together with the holders of common stock, as a single voting group.
Issuance of Additional Shares
City Holding.
Except in connection with the
proposed merger with Virginia Bancorp, the exercise of stock options and as otherwise provided herein, City Holding has no specific plans for the issuance of the additional authorized shares of its common stock or for the issuance of any shares of
preferred stock. In the future, the authorized but unissued and unreserved shares of City Holding common stock will be available for general corporate purposes including, but not limited to, possible issuance as stock dividends or stock splits, in
future mergers or acquisitions, under a cash dividend reinvestment and stock purchase plan, or in future underwritten or other public or private offerings. The authorized but unissued shares of City Holding preferred stock will similarly be
available for issuance in future mergers or acquisitions, in future underwritten public offerings or private placements or for other general corporate purposes.
Section 31D-6-621 of the WVBCA authorizes the board of directors of a West Virginia corporation to authorize the issuance of additional shares, unless the corporations articles of incorporation
reserve such a right for the corporations shareholders. In accordance with the City Holding Articles, except as otherwise required to approve the transaction in which the additional authorized shares of City Holding common stock or authorized
shares of preferred stock would be issued, no shareholder approval will be required for the issuance of these shares. Accordingly, City Holdings board of directors, without shareholder approval, may issue preferred stock with voting and
conversion rights which could adversely affect the voting power of the holders of City Holding common stock subject to the restrictions imposed on the issuance of such shares by The Nasdaq Stock Market.
92
Virginia Bancorp.
Virginia Bancorp has no specific
plans for the issuance of additional shares of its capital stock. The authorized but unissued and unreserved shares of Virginia Bancorp capital stock are available for general corporate purposes including, but not limited to, possible issuance as
stock dividends or stock splits, in future mergers or acquisitions, pursuant to stock purchase or similar plans, or in future underwritten or other public or private offerings.
Section 13.1-643 of the VSCA authorizes the board of directors of a Virginia corporation to authorize the issuance of additional
shares unless the corporations articles of incorporation reserve such a right for the corporations shareholders. In accordance with the Virginia Bancorp Articles, except as otherwise required to approve the transaction in which the
additional authorized shares of Virginia Bancorp common stock or Virginia Bancorp preferred stock would be issued, no shareholder approval will be required for the issuance of these shares. Accordingly, Virginia Bancorps board of directors,
without shareholder approval, may issue preferred stock with voting and conversion rights which could adversely affect the voting power of the holders of Virginia Bancorp common stock and Virginia Bancorp preferred stock.

The City Holding Bylaws provide that the size of the City Holding board of directors shall range between five and twenty-five directors, with the

divided into three classes, with directors in each class elected for three-year staggered terms. Therefore, it could take two annual elections to replace a majority of the board of directors of City Holding or Virginia Bancorp, respectively.
Indemnification
City Holding.
The WVBCA provides in part that each West Virginia corporation has the power to indemnify any director against liability incurred in a proceeding
against him by reason of being or having been such director (other than in an action by or in the right of the corporation) if he acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be or not opposed to the best interests of the
corporation, or, in the case of any criminal proceeding, he had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful. With respect to an action by or in the right of the corporation, except for reasonable expenses incurred in the proceeding as to
which he meets the foregoing standard of conduct, a director may not be indemnified. A director also may not be indemnified unless ordered by a court if he is adjudged liable on the basis that he received a financial benefit to which he was not
entitled. A West Virginia corporation may make any other or further indemnity to any such persons that may be authorized by the corporations articles of incorporation.
A corporation must indemnify a director who was wholly successful on the merits in the proceeding against reasonable expenses of the proceeding. A corporation may advance expenses incurred by a director
in such a proceeding if he affirms he has met the standard of conduct and agrees to return the advanced expenses if it is determined he has not met this standard.
The City Holding Articles provide that City Holding shall indemnify any current or former officer or director of City Holding or a person serving as an officer or director of another corporation at City
Holdings request against costs and expenses incurred by him in connection with a claim or proceeding against him by reason of his being or having been an officer or director, unless the claim or proceeding relates to matters as to which the
officer or director has been adjudged to be liable for gross negligence or willful misconduct in the performance of his duty to the corporation. To the extent that City Holding board of directors determines that a settlement is in City
Holdings best interests, City Holding shall reimburse the officer or director for any amounts paid in effecting the settlement and for reasonable expenses associated therewith.
Virginia Bancorp.
The VSCA provides that in any proceeding brought by or in the right of a
corporation or brought by or on behalf of shareholders of the corporation, the damages assessed against an officer or director arising out of a single transaction, occurrence or course of conduct may not exceed the lesser of (a) the monetary
amount, including the elimination of liability, specified in the articles of incorporation or, if approved by the shareholders, in the bylaws as a limitation on or elimination of the liability of the officer or director, or (b) the greater of
(i) $100,000 or (ii) the amount of cash compensation received by the officer or director from the corporation during the 12 months immediately preceding the act or omission for which liability was imposed. The liability of an officer or
director is not limited under the VSCA or a corporations articles of incorporation and bylaws if the officer or director engaged in willful misconduct or a knowing violation of the criminal law or of any federal or state securities law.
Unless its articles of incorporation provide otherwise, a Virginia corporation must indemnify a director who entirely
prevails in the defense of any proceeding to which he was a party because he is or was a director of the corporation against reasonable expenses incurred by him in connection with the proceeding.
The Virginia Bancorp Articles provide that Virginia Bancorp shall indemnify any current or former officer or director of Virginia
Bancorp, or a person serving as a director, trustee, partner or officer of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise at Virginia Bancorps request, against costs and expenses incurred by

meeting of shareholders may be called at any time by the chairman of the board, the chief executive officer, the president, a majority of the board of directors, or by holders of not less than ten percent (10%) of all shares of the outstanding

95

City Holding.
Under the WVBCA, the City Holding Articles generally may be amended by the
affirmative vote of a majority of all votes of shareholders entitled to be cast on a matter and a majority of the outstanding stock of each class entitled to vote on the amendment, unless a greater number is specified in the articles of
incorporation. The City Holding Articles do not require a greater vote.
The City Holding Bylaws may be amended only by a
majority vote of the directors of City Holding.
Virginia Bancorp.

Bancorp Articles generally may be amended by the affirmative vote of a majority of the total votes entitled to be cast by each voting group entitled to vote on the amendment.

Factors in Board Decision-Making
City Holding.
Neither the City Holding Articles nor the WVBCA addresses the factors that may be considered by a board of directors in its decision-making process
when considering acquisition or merger proposals.
Virginia Bancorp.
Similar to City
Holding, neither the Virginia Bancorp Articles nor the VSCA addresses the factors that may be considered by a board of directors in its decision-making process when considering acquisition or merger proposals.
Business Combinations with Interested Parties
City Holding.
West Virginia corporate law does not contain statutory provisions restricting certain business combinations. Additionally, the City Holding Articles
do not contain special provisions related to business combinations with interested parties.
Virginia Bancorp.
The Affiliated Transactions Statute of the VSCA contains provisions governing
affiliated transactions. These include various transactions such as mergers, share exchanges, sales, leases, or other dispositions of material assets, issuances of securities, dissolutions, and similar transactions with an
interested shareholder. An interested shareholder is generally the beneficial owner of more than 10% of any class of a corporations outstanding voting shares. During the three years following the date a shareholder becomes an
interested shareholder, any affiliated transaction with the interested shareholder must be approved by both a majority of the disinterested directors (those directors who were directors before the interested shareholder became an
interested shareholder or who were recommended for election by a majority of disinterested directors) and by the affirmative vote of the holders of two-thirds of the corporations voting shares other than shares beneficially owned by the
interested shareholder. These requirements do not apply to affiliated transactions if, among other things, a majority of the disinterested directors approve the interested shareholders acquisition of voting shares making such a person an
interested shareholder before such acquisition. Beginning three years after the shareholder becomes an interested shareholder, the corporation may engage in an affiliated transaction with the interested shareholder if:
|
|
|
the transaction is approved by the holders of two-thirds of the corporations voting shares, other than shares beneficially owned by the
interested shareholder;
|
|
|
|
the affiliated transaction has been approved by a majority of the disinterested directors; or
|
|
|
|
subject to certain additional requirements, in the affiliated transaction the holders of each class or series of voting shares will receive
consideration meeting specified fair price and other requirements designed to ensure that all shareholders receive fair and equivalent consideration, regardless of when they tendered their shares.
|
96
The Affiliated Transactions Statute is only applicable to corporations that have more than
300 shareholders. Corporations may opt out of the Affiliated Transactions Statute in their articles of incorporation or bylaws. Virginia Bancorp has not opted-out of the Affiliated Transactions Statute and the Virginia Bancorp Articles do not
contain special provisions related to business combinations with interested parties.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS REPORT
To the Board of Directors and Stockholders
Virginia Savings Bancorp, Inc.
Front Royal,
Virginia
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Virginia Savings Bancorp, Inc. (the
Company) and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2010 and 2009 and the related consolidated statements of income, changes in stockholders equity, and cash flows for the years then ended. These financial statements are the
responsibility of the Companys management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards required that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance
about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for
the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Companys internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts
and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable
basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects,
the financial position of Virginia Savings Bancorp, Inc. and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2010 and 2009 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted
in the United States of America.

During the year ended December 31, 2010, the Companys investment in available for sale securities, which gave
rise to other comprehensive income or loss in prior years, matured. Management has not designated any of the investment securities it purchased during fiscal year 2010 as available for sale. As a consequence, the Company did not have a reportable
other comprehensive income or loss position as of December 31, 2010.

December 31, 2010
Note 1
Organization and Business
Virginia Savings Bancorp, Inc. (the Company) is a Virginia corporation organized in April 2007 to serve as a
unitary savings and loan holding company. The Company has one savings bank subsidiary, Virginia Savings Bank, F.S.B. (the Bank). The Bank has a wholly owned subsidiary, Virginia Savings Service Corporation (VSSC) that has
been inactive since 1997.
The Companys only significant asset is its investment in the Bank. Currently the Company does
not engage in business activities other than its ownership of the Bank.
The Banks primary business activity is the
acceptance of deposits from the general public through its five branches in Warren, Shenandoah and Frederick Counties, Virginia and the City of Winchester, Virginia and the use of the proceeds for investments and loan originations. The Bank faces
competition from other financial institutions and is subject to the regulations of certain federal agencies and undergoes periodic examinations by those regulatory authorities.
Note 2
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Financial Statement Presentation and Principles of Consolidation
The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
In preparing the financial statements, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date of the statement of financial condition and revenues and expenses for the
period. Actual results could differ significantly from those estimates. Material estimates that are particularly susceptible to significant change in the near-term relate to the determination of the allowance for loan losses, the valuation of real
estate acquired through foreclosure, and the evaluation of investment securities for other than temporary impairment.
The
consolidated financial statements of the Company include the accounts of the Company, Bank and VSSC. All inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
For purposes of reporting cash flows,
cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, amounts due from banks, federal funds sold and short-term interest bearing deposits in other banks. Generally federal funds are sold for one-day periods.
The Bank is a quarterly filer with the Federal Reserve Bank with regard to reserves on its deposits. At December 31, 2010 and 2009,
the Banks reserve requirement was $430,000 and $443,000, respectively.
The Bank satisfies its reserve requirement
through its usable vault cash and account balances at the Federal Reserve Bank that are in excess of its minimum clearing balance.
Securities
At December 31, 2010, certain debt securities are
classified as held to maturity and recorded at amortized cost. Management has the ability and positive intention to hold these securities to maturity. Securities not classified as held to maturity are classified as available for sale. Available for
sale securities are recorded at fair value. Unrealized gains and losses on available for sale securities, net of

Securities, (Continued)
deferred taxes, are reported as a separate component of shareholders equity until realized. Amortization of related premiums and accretion of discounts is computed using a method that
approximates the effective interest method over the life of the security. Gains and losses on the sale of investment securities and mortgage backed securities are determined using the specific identification method.
Declines in the fair value of securities held to maturity and available for sale below their cost that are determined to be other than
temporary are reflected in earnings as realized losses. In determining whether other than temporary impairment exists, management considers the length of time and extent to which fair value has been less than cost, the financial condition and
near-term prospects of the issuer and the intent and ability of the Bank to hold the securities until the earlier of market price recovery or until the securities mature.
Investment in Federal Home Loan Bank of Atlanta Stock
Federal law
requires member institutions of the FHLB system to hold stock of its district FHLB according to predetermined formulas. This restricted stock is carried at cost.
Loans Receivable
Loans receivable that management has the intent
and the ability to hold for the foreseeable future or until maturity or payoff are stated at their outstanding balances, net of any allowance for losses and any deferred fees or costs. Interest income is accrued on the unpaid principal balance.
Direct loan origination costs, net of loan origination fees, are deferred and recognized as an adjustment of the yield (interest income) over the contractual life of the related loans.
Accrual of interest is discontinued when the contractual payment of principal or interest has become 90 days past due or when
management has serious doubts about the further collectability of principal or interest even though the loan is currently performing. A loan may remain on accrual status if it is in the process of collection and is either guaranteed or is well
secured. When a loan is placed on non-accrual status, unpaid interest previously credited to income is reversed. Payments received on non-accrual loans are either applied against principal or reported as interest income, according to
managements judgment as to the collectability of principal. Generally, loans are restored to accrual status when the obligation is brought current and the loan has performed in accordance with its contractual terms for a reasonable period of
time such that the ultimate collectability of the total contractual principal and interest is no longer in doubt.
Allowance for Loan Losses
An allowance for loan losses is provided through charges to income in an amount that management believes will be adequate to absorb losses on existing loans that may become uncollectible and is based on
evaluations of the collectability of loans and prior loan loss experience. The evaluations take into consideration such factors as changes in the nature and volume of the loan portfolio, overall portfolio quality, review of specific problem loans,
and current economic conditions that may affect the

borrowers ability to pay. Determining the amount of the allowance for loan losses requires the use of estimates and assumptions. Actual results could differ significantly from those
estimates. Management believes the allowance for losses on loans is adequate. While management uses available information to estimate losses on loans, future additions to the allowance may be necessary based on changes in local and national economic
conditions. In addition, various regulatory agencies, as an integral part of their examination process, periodically review the Banks allowance for losses on loans. Such agencies may require the Bank to recognize additions to the allowance
based on their judgments about information available to them at the time of their examination.
The allowance for losses on
loans consists of specific and general components. The specific component relates to loans that are classified sub-standard, doubtful, or are identified as troubled debt restructurings. For such loans that are determined to be impaired, an allowance
is provided when the observable market price or collaterals fair value, less anticipated disposal costs, of the impaired loan is lower than the carrying value of the loan. If no collateral value is available, the Bank uses discounted cash flow
analysis to determine the realizable value of the loan.
The general loss component provides for losses on non-classified loans
and is derived from a two-step process. All large borrower relationships have been subjected to a credit grading process and assigned a credit grade. Each credit grade has a percentage loss allowance factor associated with it which is applied to
loan principal balances to calculate a general loss allowance. Loss allowances on homogenous groups of smaller balance loans which are neither evaluated for impairment nor credit graded are based on historical loss experiences adjusted for
qualitative factors. At December 31, 2010, approximately $45.1 million of loans were credit graded, and approximately $46.0 million of loans were in homogenous groups of smaller balance loans.
A loan is considered impaired when, based on available information and events, it is probable that the Bank will be unable to collect the
scheduled payments of principal or interest when due according to the terms of the loan agreement. Management considers the significance of delinquency, financial condition of the borrower and collateral value declines on a case-by-case basis and
considers the reasons for delinquency, the borrowers payment history, absence or presence of third party guarantees, and the amount of principal and interest owed. Impairment is measured on a loan by loan basis for investor owned single family
loans, non-residential mortgages, construction loans, land loans and commercial loans using the methodologies outlined above.
Off-Balance Sheet Financial Instruments and Guarantees
In the ordinary course of business, the Bank is a party to off-balance sheet financial instruments consisting of commitments to extend
credit and letters of credit. Such financial instruments are recorded in the statement of condition when they are funded.
The
Bank issues stand-by letters of credit that are unconditional commitments by the Bank guaranteeing performance by a customer to a third party. These guarantees are issued primarily to support private borrowing arrangements, generally limited to real
estate transactions. The credit risk involved in issuing these guarantees is essentially the same as that involved in extending loans to customers.

Off-Balance Sheet Financial Instruments and Guarantees, Continued
The Bank also issues standard representations, warranties and indemnifications in the
course of selling mortgage loans. The Bank has not been required to act on such guarantees in the past and does not believe that any payments pursuant to them would materially change the Banks financial condition or results of operations as
presented herein.
Premises and Equipment
Land is carried at cost. Buildings and improvements, furniture and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and are
depreciated over their estimated useful lives using the straight line method as follows:

Foreclosed Real Estate
Real estate acquired through foreclosure is initially reported at the fair value of the repossessed asset less estimated selling costs.
Any excess of recorded investment over fair value at the time of acquisition is charged to the allowance for loan losses. Management periodically evaluates the recoverability of the carrying value of the real estate acquired through foreclosure
using estimates as described under the caption Allowance for Loan Losses. In the event of a subsequent decline in fair values, management provides an additional allowance to reduce real estate acquired through foreclosure to fair value
less estimated disposal cost. Expenses incurred on foreclosed real estate prior to disposition are charged to expense. Gains or losses on the sale of foreclosed real estate are recognized upon disposition of the property.
Transfers of Financial Assets
Transfers of financial assets, including loan and loan participation sales, are accounted for as sales, when control over the assets has been surrendered. Control over transferred assets is deemed to be
surrendered when (1) the assets have been isolated from the Bank, (2) the transferee obtains the right (free of conditions that constrain it from taking advantage of that right) to pledge or exchange the transferred assets and (3) the Bank does not
maintain effective control over the transferred assets through an agreement to repurchase them before their maturity.
Income Taxes
Deferred income taxes are recognized for temporary differences between the financial reporting basis and the income tax basis of assets and liabilities based on enacted tax rates expected to be in effect
when such amounts are realized or settled. Deferred tax assets are recognized only to the extent that it is more likely than not that such amounts will be realized based on consideration of available evidence. The effect on deferred tax assets and
liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, Continued
Income Taxes, Continued
The Company accounts for uncertain tax provisions in accordance with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States. The Company records interest or penalties that occur in connection with unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. No interest or penalties were
incurred during the year ended December 31, 2010 or 2009.
The tax years subject to examination by Federal and Virginia
taxing authorities are the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009, 2008 and 2007.
Comprehensive Income
Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America require that recognized income, expenses, and
gains and losses be included in net income. Changes in certain assets and liabilities, such as unrealized gains or losses on securities available for sale, are reported as a separate component of the equity section of the statement of financial
condition. Such items, along with net income, are the components of comprehensive income.
Earnings Per Common Share
Equivalent
Basic net income per share was computed on the weighted average number of shares outstanding. Diluted
earnings per share are computed on a weighted average basis under the if converted method. There was no dilutive impact for 2010 because the difference between basic and diluted earnings per share was insignificant. There was no dilutive
impact for 2009 because the assumed conversion was anti-dilutive for 2009. There were no adjustments to net income in the computation of diluted earnings per share for any of the periods presented. The weighted average number of shares outstanding
used in computing basic earnings (loss) per common share equivalents were 1,899,984 for the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009. The weighted average number of shares outstanding used in computing diluted earnings per common share
equivalents was 1,966,651 for the year ended December 31, 2010.
Advertising
All advertising costs are expensed as incurred. Advertising costs were $41,632 and $36,010, respectively for the years ended
December 31, 2010 and 2009.
Reclassifications
Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current years method of presentation.
Subsequent Events
Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States provide standards for accounting for and disclosure of events that occur after the balance sheet date but before the financial statements are
issued. During the preparation of these consolidated financial statements, the Company evaluated the events and transactions that occurred from January 1, 2011 through March 31, 2011 the date these consolidated financial statements were
available to be issued.

Note 4
Loans Receivable, Continued
Letters of credit are conditional commitments issued by the Bank guaranteeing
performance by a customer to a third party. These guarantees are issued primarily to support private borrowing arrangements, generally limited to real estate transactions. The Banks exposure to credit loss from non-performance by the other
party to the above-mentioned financial instruments is represented by the contractual amount of those instruments. The Bank uses essentially the same credit policies in making commitments and conditional obligations as it does for on-balance-sheet
instruments. All of these letters of credit will expire within the next eleven months. The credit risk involved in issuing letters of credit is essentially the same as that involved in extending loan commitments. The Bank may require collateral and
personal guarantees supporting these conditional obligations as deemed necessary. Management believes that the personal guarantees would be sufficient to cover any remaining outstanding balances required under the corresponding guarantees. A letter
of credit in the amount of $21,271 was outstanding at December 31, 2010.
Lines of credit are loan commitments to
individuals and companies and have fixed expiration dates as long as there is no violation of any condition established in the loan contract. The Bank evaluates each customers credit worthiness on a case-by-case basis.
The credit risk involved in these financial instruments is essentially the same as that involved in extending loan facilities to
customers. No amount has been recognized in the statement of financial condition at December 31, 2010 and 2009, as a liability for credit loss.
Mortgage loans serviced for others are not included in the accompanying consolidated statements of financial condition. The unpaid principal balances of these loans at December 31, 2010 and 2009 were
$15,845,725 and $21,425,084, respectively. Custodial escrow balances maintained in connection with the foregoing loan servicing were approximately $334,200 and $304,600 at December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively.

Advances From Federal Home Loan Bank of Atlanta and Other
Borrowings
The Bank has an available line of credit with the Federal Home Loan Bank of Atlanta that
is equal to 10% of the previous quarters ending balance of assets. The Banks eligibility to borrow in excess of 10% of assets is subject to its meeting certain eligibility criteria outlined in the FHLBs credit and collateral
policy. At December 31, 2010, the Banks available credit, under the 10% eligibility limit, was approximately $12.9 million. The borrowings on the line of credit, which has no expiration date, must be secured by lendable collateral value
equal to at least 100% of the total advances outstanding. In addition, the Bank has pledged approximately $42.6 million of loans receivable as additional collateral. There were no borrowings outstanding at December 31, 2010 and 2009.
Note 9
Preferred Stock of Subsidiary
On March 31, 2006 the Bank entered into a stock purchase agreement with a third party pursuant to which the Bank sold 100,000 shares of Series A preferred stock at a purchase price of $10.00 per
share. The Series A preferred stock pays a $0.75 annual dividend, payable in quarterly installments. The dividends payable on the Series A preferred stock are prior and in preference to any dividend on the Banks common stock. Beginning on
March 31, 2008, the Series A preferred stock became redeemable at the option of the Bank, in whole or in part, at a redemption price of (1) $10.00 per share and (2) and accrued but unpaid dividends. Beginning on April 1, 2008, the holder
of Series A preferred stock of the Bank acquired the right to convert the security into shares of the Companys common stock such that for every three shares of Series A preferred stock the former holder thereof will receive two shares of the
Companys common stock.
Note 10
Stockholders Equity
The Bank is subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by the federal banking agencies. Failure to meet minimum
capital requirements can initiate certain mandatory and possibly additional discretionary actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct material effect on the Companys financial statements. Under capital adequacy guidelines
and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, the Bank must meet specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of the Banks assets, liabilities, and certain off-balance-sheet items as calculated under regulatory
accounting practices. The Banks capital amounts and classification are also subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators about components, risk weightings, and other factors.
Quantitative measures established by regulation to ensure capital adequacy require the Bank to maintain minimum amounts and ratios (set
forth in the table below) of total and Tier 1 capital (as defined in the regulations) to risk-weighted assets (as defined), and Tier 1 capital (as defined) to total assets (as defined). Management believes, as of December 31, 2010, that the
Bank meets all capital standards applicable to well capitalized financial institutions. The most recent notification from the Office of Thrift Supervision (OTS) also categorizes the Bank as well capitalized.
OTS regulations reserve the right to limit the payment of dividends and other capital distributions by the Bank. The Bank is able to pay
dividends during the year to the extent that (i) following the capital distribution, the Bank will not be undercapitalized, significantly undercapitalized or critically undercapitalized (ii) the capital distribution does not raise safety or
soundness concerns, and (iii) the capital distribution does not violate a prohibition in any statute, regulation, agreement between the Bank and the OTS, or a condition imposed on the Bank by the OTS. The Bank is restricted in paying dividends on
its stock to the greater of the restrictions described in the preceding paragraph, its regulatory capital requirement or the accumulated bad debt deduction.

The Bank was allowed a special bad debt deduction at various percentages of otherwise
taxable income for various years through December 31, 1987. If the amounts, which qualified as deductions for federal income tax purposes prior to December 31, 1987, are later used for purposes other than to absorb loan losses, including
distributions in liquidations, they will be subject to federal income tax at the then current corporate rate and mortgage loans must be maintained at the December 31,1987 level to receive current tax deductions for loan losses.
The Bank is required to file quarterly reports on its financial condition, results of operations and other financial information with the
OTS. OTS financial reporting rules follow the same generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) applicable to these financial statements except for certain specified areas in which regulatory accounting principles (RAP)
differ from GAAP. One of these areas is accounting for properties acquired through foreclosure. GAAP indicates that these properties should be accounted for at their fair value on the foreclosure date and at the lower of carrying value or fair value
thereafter. OTS RAP specifies that foreclosed assets be reported at the lower of their historical cost or their fair value. Application of RAP to the Banks accounting for real estate acquired through foreclosure resulted in approximately
$452,200 less in earnings and tangible capital, as reported to the OTS at December 31, 2010 and 2009 than the amounts determined under GAAP and reported herein. This difference between GAAP and RAP will continue to exist until the Bank disposes
of the properties. The following table reflects the $452,200 lesser amount of capital reported to OTS at December 31, 2010 and 2009. In addition to this accounting difference, financial information reported to the OTS is for the Bank only. The
Company is not subject to minimum capital requirements under OTS regulations.

capital position at December 31, 2010 and 2009:

Disclosures About Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The estimated fair values of the Companys financial instruments are summarized
below. The fair values of a significant portion of these financial instruments are estimates derived using present value techniques and may not be indicative of the net realizable or liquidation values. Also, the calculation of estimated fair values
is based on market conditions at a specific point in time and may not reflect current or future fair values.
The carrying
amount is a reasonable estimate of fair value for cash, federal funds sold and interest-bearing deposits in other banks due to the short-term nature of these investments. The fair value of securities available for sale (carried at fair value) are
determined by obtaining quoted market prices on nationally recognized securities exchanges (Level 1), or matrix pricing (Level 2), which is a mathematical technique based on matrices to value debt securities. The carrying amount of FHLB stock
approximates fair value. Loans receivable were discounted using a single discount rate, comparing the current market rates at which similar loans would be made to borrowers with similar credit ratings and for the same remaining maturities. The fair
value of demand deposits, savings accounts and money market deposits is by definition, equal to the amount payable on demand at the reporting date. The fair value of fixed-maturity certificates of deposit is estimated using market rates currently
offered on deposits of similar remaining maturities. The carrying amounts for interest receivable, interest payable, and mortgage servicing rights approximate their fair value at the balance sheet date.
The Bank is a party to financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk in the normal course of business, including loan commitments and
letters of credit. The off-balance sheet fair values are based on fees charged for similar agreements.
The estimated fair
values of the Banks financial instruments are as follows:

Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States establish a framework for measuring fair
values of financial instruments and disclosures about fair value measurements. These accounting principles establish a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation methods used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest
priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements).

Disclosures About Fair Value of Financial Instruments
,

The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are as follows:
|
|
|
Level 1:
|
|
Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities.
|
|
|
Level 2:
|
|
Quoted prices in markets that are not active, or inputs that are observable either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the asset or
liability.
|
|
|
Level 3:
|
|
Prices or valuation techniques that require inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable (i.e. supported with little or no market
activity).
|
An asset or liabilitys level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of input
that is significant to the fair value measurement.
For assets that the Company measures at fair value on a recurring basis,
the fair value measurements by level within the fair value hierarchy used at December 31, 2009 are as follows. The Company had no such assets as December 31, 2010.

The following valuation techniques were used to measure the fair value of assets in the table above.
Loans included in the above table are those which the Company has measured impairment generally based on the fair value of the
loans collateral. Fair value is determined based upon independent third party appraisals of the properties, or discounted cash flows based upon the expected proceeds. These assets are included as Level 3 fair values, based upon the lowest
level of input that is significant to the fair value measurements. The fair value consists of the loan balances less their valuation allowances.
Fair values of foreclosed real estate were based on independent third party appraisals of the properties or discounted cash flows based upon the expected sales proceeds upon disposition of the assets.
These values were generally determined based on the sales prices of similar properties in the proximate vicinity. These assets are included as Level 3 fair values, based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value
measurements. For the year ended December 31, 2010, the Company recognized net adjustments to the carrying value of real estate owned of $197,306, consisting of decreases in recorded value of $42,901 charged against the general loss allowance
at initial foreclosure and write downs subsequent to foreclosure of $154,405 on other properties which are included in earnings for the year ended December 31, 2010.
Note 14
Related Party Transactions
A director provides
real estate appraisal and inspection services to the Bank. He received $60,580 and $53,010 for those services in the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively.

VIRGINIA SAVINGS BANCORP, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)
Note 1Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial
statements of Virginia Savings Bancorp, Inc. (Virginia Bancorp) have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP) for interim financial information.
Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting
of normal recurring accruals, considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included.
In preparing the consolidated financial
statements in conformity with GAAP, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Operating results for the three
and nine months ended September 30, 2011 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for any other interim period or the entire year ending December 31, 2011. The unaudited consolidated financial statements and
related notes thereto presented herein should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and footnotes included in the Virginia Bancorps Annual Report for the year ended December 31, 2010.
Note 2Net Income Per Share
The Virginia Bancorps outstanding shares are referred to in these notes and the accompanying financial statements as common stock
equivalents. This term is inclusive of the Virginia Bancorps common stock and its Series A preferred stock. The Series A preferred stock is a common stock equivalent because the holders of this class of stock participate in dividend
payments with the holders of common stock and because they vote with holders of common stock as a single class on all significant matters requiring shareholder approval.
Basic net income or loss per common share equivalent was computed on the weighted average number of common stock and average number of non-voting preferred stock shares outstanding. Diluted income or loss
per common share equivalent is computed on a weighted average basis under the if converted method assuming conversion as of beginning of the periods reported. Potential converted shares represent the conversion of the 100,000 shares of
convertible preferred stock of the wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, Virginia Savings Bank, F.S.B. (Virginia Bank), that are convertible in the ratio of two shares of common stock to three shares of preferred stock, or 66,666
common shares. These if converted shares have been excluded from the earnings per share calculation as they would be anti-dilutive. With the exception of preferred stock dividends of subsidiary,
F-30
there were no adjustments to net income in the computation of diluted income or loss per common share for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010. The following table
shows the computation of basic income or loss per common share for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010.

Note 3Guarantees
Virginia Bank issues stand-by letters of credit that are unconditional commitments guaranteeing performance by a customer to a third party. These guarantees are issued primarily to support private
borrowing arrangements, generally limited to real estate transactions. The credit risk involved in issuing these guarantees is essentially the same as that involved in extending loans to customers. At September 30, 2011 and December 31,
2010, with consideration given to collateral and risk of default, management does not believe its exposure to these letters of credit is significant. These stand-by letters of credit were approximately $41,271 and $21,271, respectively, at
September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010 with current expiration dates through August 10, 2012. The liability under these guarantees is not material.
The Bank also issues standard representations, warranties and indemnifications in the course of selling mortgage loans and other types of loans. The Bank has not been required to act on such guarantees in
the past and does not believe that any payments pursuant to them would materially change the financial condition or results of operations as presented herein.

At September 30, 2011, Virginia Bancorps mortgage backed securities in an unrealized loss
position were in that status for less than twelve months except for three securities that have a total amortized cost of $3,523,900, a fair value of $3,429,295 and an unrealized loss of $95,605. Management evaluates securities for other than
temporary impairment no less frequently than quarterly. Management believes that the unrealized losses noted above at September 30, 2011 were primarily the result of changes in market interest rates and not indicative of credit quality issues.
The securities in an unrealized loss for more than twelve months are collateralized mortgage obligations issued by the Government National Mortgage Association which are guaranteed as to principal and interest by the United States Government.
Because Virginia Bancorp has the intent to hold the securities and does not believe it will be required to sell securities with unrealized losses before recovery occurs management does not consider them to be other than temporarily impaired.
At December 31, 2010, the Companys held to maturity mortgage backed securities were in a net unrealized loss position. Mortgage
backed securities consist of Government National Mortgage Association collateralized mortgage obligations with estimated lives between 2.1 to 5.0 years.
The Companys held to maturity investment securities and mortgage backed securities at December 31, 2010 had been in an unrealized position for less than 12 months.
Management evaluates the Companys restricted stock in the Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB) for impairment. FHLB stock is generally viewed
as a long-term investment and is required to be held in order to receive FHLB advances. As a restricted investment security, it is carried at cost as there is no market for the stock other than the FHLB or its member institutions. Therefore, when
evaluating FHLB stock for impairment, its value is based on ultimate recoverability of the par value rather than by recognizing temporary declines in value. The FHLB has reinstated dividends and the repurchase of its stock thereby improving the
value. Virginia Bancorp does not consider this investment to be other than temporarily impaired at September 30, 2011, and no impairment has been recognized.
Note 5Disclosures About Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The estimated
fair values of the Companys financial instruments are summarized below. The fair values of a significant portion of these financial instruments are estimates derived using present value techniques and may not be indicative of the net
realizable or liquidation values. Also, the calculation of estimated fair values is based on market conditions at a specific point in time and may not reflect current or future fair values.
The carrying amount is a reasonable estimate of fair value for cash, federal funds sold and interest-bearing deposits in other banks due to the short-term nature of these investments. The carrying amount
of FHLB stock approximates fair value, and considers the limited marketability of such securities. Loans receivable were discounted using a single discount rate, comparing the current market rates at which similar loans would be made to borrowers
with similar credit ratings and for the same remaining maturities. The fair value of demand deposits, savings accounts and money market deposits is by definition, equal to the amount payable on demand at the reporting date. The fair value of
fixed-maturity certificates of deposit is estimated using market rates currently offered on deposits of similar remaining maturities. The carrying amounts for interest receivable, interest payable, and mortgage servicing rights approximate fair
value at the balance sheet date.
F-33
The Company is a party to financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk in the normal course of
business, including loan commitments and letters of credit. The off-balance sheet fair values are based on fees charged for similar agreements.
The estimated fair values of the Companys financial instruments are as follows:

Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States establish a framework for measuring fair values of
financial instruments and disclosures about fair value measurements. These accounting principles establish a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation methods used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority
to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy under GAAP are as follows:
|
|
|
Level 1:
|
|
Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities.
|
|
|
Level 2:
|
|
Quoted prices in markets that are not active, or inputs that are observable either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the asset or
liability.
|
|
|
Level 3:
|
|
Prices or valuation techniques that require inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable (i.e. supported with little or no market
activity).
|
An assets or liabilitys level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of input that is
significant to the fair value measurement.
F-34
The Company does not measure any assets or liabilities for fair value on a recurring basis. For assets that
the Company measures at fair value on a non-recurring basis, the fair value measurements by level within the fair value hierarchy used at September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010 are as follows:

Loans included in the above table are those which the Company has measured impairment generally based on the fair value
of the loans collateral. Fair value is generally determined based upon independent third party appraisals of the properties, or discounted cash flows based upon the expected proceeds. These assets are included as Level 3 fair values, based
upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurements. The fair value consists of the loan balances less their valuation allowances.
Fair values of foreclosed real estate were based on independent third party appraisals of the properties or discounted cash flows based upon the expected sales proceeds upon disposition of the assets.
These values were generally determined based on the sales prices of similar properties in the proximate vicinity. These assets are included as Level 3 fair values, based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value
measurements. The Company recognized adjustments to the carrying value of real estate owned of $78,500 that were included in earnings for the nine months ended September 30, 2011.

Note 6Preferred Stock of Subsidiary
On March 31, 2006, the Bank entered into a stock purchase agreement with a third party pursuant to which the Bank sold 100,000 shares of Series A
preferred stock at a purchase price of $10.00 per share. The Series A preferred stock pays a $0.75 annual dividend, payable in quarterly installments. The dividends payable on the Series A preferred stock are prior and in preference to any dividend
on the Banks common stock. Beginning on March 31, 2008, the Series A preferred stock became redeemable at the option of the Bank, in whole or in part, at a redemption price of (1) $10.00 per share and (2) and accrued but unpaid
dividends. Beginning on April 1, 2008, the holder of Series A preferred stock of the Bank became entitled to convert the security into shares of the Companys common stock such that for every three shares of Series A preferred stock the
former holder thereof would receive two shares of the Companys common stock.
Note 7Recent Accounting Pronouncements
ASU No. 2010-06,
Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (Topic 820): Improving Disclosures about Fair Value
Measurements
required new disclosures related to fair value measurements included 1) significant transfers in and out of Levels 1 and 2 of the fair value hierarchy and the reasons for the transfers, and 2) activity in Level 3 of the fair
value hierarchy, including separate gross presentation of purchases, sales, issuances and settlements. ASU 2010-06 also clarified that 1) disclosures should be presented for each class of assets and liabilities (rather than major category) and 2)
disclosures should include the valuation techniques and inputs used to measure fair value for both recurring and nonrecurring measurements included in Level 2 or Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. The disclosure for gross presentation of
transactions in Level 3 became effective January 1, 2011. The remaining disclosures became effective January 1, 2010. These disclosures did not have a material impact on the Companys financial statements. See Note Five.
ASU No. 2010-20,
Receivables (Topic 310)Disclosures about the Credit Quality of Financing Receivables and the Allowance for Credit
Losses
requires entities to provide disclosures designed to facilitate financial statement users evaluation of (i) the nature of credit risk inherent in the entitys portfolio of financing receivables, (ii) how that
risk is analyzed and assessed in arriving at the allowance for credit losses and (iii) the changes and reasons for those changes in the allowance for credit losses. Disclosures must be disaggregated by portfolio segment, the level at which an
entity develops and documents a systematic method for determining its allowance for credit losses, and class of financing receivable, which is generally a disaggregation of portfolio segment. The required disclosures include, among other things, a
roll-forward of the allowance for credit losses as well as information about modified, impaired, non-accrual and past due loans and credit quality indicators. ASU 2010-20 becomes effective for the Companys financial statements as of
December 31, 2011, as it relates to disclosures required as of the end of a reporting period. Disclosures that relate to activity during a reporting period become effective for the Companys financial statements beginning on
January 1, 2012.
F-36
In April 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-02,
A Creditors Determination of
Whether a Restructuring is a Troubled Debt Restructuring.
The provisions of ASU No. 2011-02 provide additional guidance related to determining whether a creditor has granted a concession, include factors and examples for
creditors to consider in evaluating whether a restructuring results in a delay in payment that is insignificant, prohibit creditors from using the borrowers effective rate test to evaluate whether a concession has been granted to the borrower,
and add factors for creditors to use in determining whether a borrower is experiencing financial difficulties. A provision in ASU No. 2011-02 also ends the FASBs deferral of the additional disclosures about troubled debt
restructurings as required by ASU No. 2010-20. The provisions of ASU No. 2011-02 become effective for the Companys reporting period ending December 31, 2012. The adoption of ASU No. 2011-02 is not expected to have
a material impact on the Companys statements of income and condition.
In May 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-04,
Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurements and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRSs.
This ASU amends Topic 820,
Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures,
to converge the fair value measurement
guidance contained in U.S. generally accepted accounting principles and International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS). The provisions of ASU No. 2011-04 clarify existing fair value measurements, amend certain principles set
forth in Topic 820 and requires additional fair value disclosures. ASU No. 2011-04 is effective for the Companys reporting period beginning on January 1, 2012. The adoption of ASU No. 2011-04 is not expected to have a material
impact on the Companys financial statements.
In June 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-05,
Comprehensive Income (Topic
220)Presentation of Comprehensive Income.
ASU 2011-05 amends Topic 220,
Comprehensive Income,
to require that all non-owner changes in shareholders equity be presented in either a single continuous statement
of comprehensive income or in two separate, but consecutive statements, thus eliminating the option to present components of comprehensive income within the statement of changes in shareholders equity. ASU No. 2011-05 is effective for the
Companys reporting period beginning on January 1, 2012; however, certain provisions related to the presentation of reclassification adjustments have been deferred by ASU 2011-12
Comprehensive Income (Topic 220)Deferral of
the Effective Date for Amendments to the Presentation of Reclassification Items Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income in Accounting Standards Update No. 2011-05,
as further discussed below. The adoption of ASU No. 2011-05
is not expected to have a material impact on the Companys financial statements.
In December 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-12,
Comprehensive Income (Topic 220)Deferral of the Effective Date for Amendments to the Presentation of Reclassifications of Items Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income in Accounting Standards Update No. 2011-05
.
This ASU defers the changes in ASU No. 2011-05 that relate to the presentation of reclassification adjustments. ASU No. 2011-05 allows entities to continue to report reclassifications out of accumulated other comprehensive income
consistent with the presentation requirements in effect prior to ASU No. 2011-05. All other requirements in ASU No. 2011-05 are not affected. ASU No. 2011-12 is effective for the Companys reporting periods beginning on
January 1, 2012 and is not expected to have a material impact on the Companys financial statements.

Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current periods method of

to be an issued and outstanding share of CHC Common Stock at and after the Effective Time.
A-4
(d) Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any holder of Virginia Bancorp Shares
perfects such holders appraisal rights under the Virginia Stock Corporation Act (the VSCA), any issued and outstanding Virginia Bancorp Shares held by such holder shall not be converted as described herein but shall from and after
the Effective Time represent only the right to receive such consideration as may be determined to be due to such holder pursuant to the VSCA; provided, however, that each Virginia Bancorp Share outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time and
held by a Virginia Bancorp shareholder who, after the Effective Time, fails to perfect his or her appraisal rights, withdraws his or her demand for appraisal rights or otherwise loses his or her right to exercise appraisal rights shall have only the
right to receive the per share Merger Consideration for the number and type of Virginia Bancorp Shares held by such holder.
(e) At the Effective Time, holders of Virginia Bancorp Shares shall cease to be, and shall have no rights as, shareholders of Virginia Bancorp, other than the right to receive (a) any dividend or
other distribution with respect to such Virginia Bancorp Shares with a record date occurring prior to the Effective Date, (b) the applicable type of per share Merger Consideration for each Virginia Bancorp Share, as provided herein, and
(3) any appraisal rights to which they may be entitled under the VSCA if such holders have perfected such appraisal rights under the VSCA. After the Effective Time, there shall be no transfers on the stock transfer books of Virginia Bancorp or
CHC of Virginia Bancorp Shares.
(f) Notwithstanding any other provision herein, no fractional shares of CHC
Common Stock and no certificates or scrip therefor, or other evidence of ownership thereof, will be issued in the Company Merger; instead, CHC shall pay to each holder of Virginia Bancorp Shares who otherwise would be entitled to a fractional share
of CHC Common Stock an amount in cash (without interest) determined by multiplying such fraction by the CHC Average Closing Price. The CHC Average Closing Price shall equal the average of the per share closing prices of a share of CHC Common Stock
as reported on the Nasdaq Global Select Market during the ten (10) trading days immediately preceding the tenth (10th) calendar day immediately preceding the Effective Date (the CHC Average Closing Price).
(g) An election form in such form as Virginia Bancorp and CHC shall mutually agree (an Election Form) shall be
mailed on the Mailing Date (as defined below) to each holder of record of Virginia Bancorp Shares. The Mailing Date shall be the date on which proxy materials relating to the Company Merger are mailed to holders of Virginia Bancorp
Shares. CHC shall make available Election Forms as may be reasonably requested by all persons who become holders of Virginia Bancorp Shares after the record date for eligibility to vote on the Company Merger and prior to the Election Deadline (as
defined herein), and Virginia Bancorp shall provide to the Exchange Agent (as defined herein) all information reasonably necessary for it to perform its obligations as specified herein.
(h) Each Election Form shall entitle the holder of Virginia Bancorp Shares (or the beneficial owner through appropriate
and customary documentation and instructions) to (i) elect to receive the Stock Consideration for all of such holders shares (a Stock Election), (ii) elect to receive the Cash Consideration for all of such holders
shares (a Cash Election), (iii) elect to receive the Cash/Stock Consideration for all such holders shares (a Cash/Stock Election) or (iv) make no election or indicate that such holder has no preference as
to the receipt of the Cash Consideration, the Stock Consideration or the Cash/Stock Consideration (a Non-Election). Holders of record of Virginia Bancorp Shares who hold such shares as nominees, trustees or in other representative
capacities (a Representative) may submit multiple Election Forms, provided that such Representative certifies that each such Election Form covers all the shares of Virginia Bancorp Shares held by that Representative for a particular
beneficial owner. Virginia Bancorp Shares as to which a Cash Election has been made are referred to herein as Cash Election Shares. Virginia Bancorp Shares as to which a Stock Election has been made are referred to herein as Stock
Election Shares. Virginia Bancorp Shares as to which a Cash/Stock Election has been made are referred to herein as Cash/Stock Election Shares. Virginia Bancorp Shares as to which no election has been made are referred to herein as
Non-Election Shares. For purposes of this Plan, shares subject to appraisal rights shall be deemed Cash Election Shares. The aggregate number of Virginia Bancorp Shares with respect to which a Cash Election has been made is referred to
herein as the Cash Election Number. The aggregate number of Virginia Bancorp Shares with respect to which a Stock Election has been made is referred to
A-5
herein as the Stock Election Number. The aggregate number of Virginia Bancorp Shares with respect to which a Cash/Stock Election has been made is referred to herein as the
Cash/Stock Election Number. The number of Virginia Bancorp Shares obtained by subtracting (i) the Cash/Stock Election Number from (ii) the aggregate number of Virginia Bancorp Shares outstanding as of the Effective Time is
referred to herein as the Leftover Shares. The number obtained by multiplying the Leftover Shares by 0.60 shall be referred to as the Stock Percentage Number. The number obtained by multiplying the Leftover Shares by 0.40
shall be referred to as the Cash Percentage Number.
(i) To be effective, a properly completed
Election Form must be received by the Exchange Agent on or before 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the third business day immediately preceding the date of the meeting of shareholders of Virginia Bancorp referred to in Section 6.02 of the
Merger Agreement (or such other time and date as Virginia Bancorp and CHC may mutually agree) (the Election Deadline). An election shall have been properly made only if the Exchange Agent shall have actually received a properly completed
Election Form by the Election Deadline. Any holder of Virginia Bancorp Shares may at any time prior to the Election Deadline change his or her election by written notice received by the Exchange Agent prior to the Election Deadline accompanied by a
properly completed and signed revised Election Form. Any holder of Virginia Bancorp Shares may, at any time prior to the Election Deadline, revoke his or her election by written notice received by the Exchange Agent prior to the Election Deadline.
All elections shall be revoked automatically if the Exchange Agent is notified in writing by CHC and Virginia Bancorp that the Merger Agreement has been terminated. If a shareholder either (i) does not submit a properly completed Election Form
by the Election Deadline or (ii) revokes (as opposed to changes) his or her Election Form prior to the Election Deadline and does not submit a new properly executed Election Form prior to the Election Deadline, the Virginia Bancorp Shares held
by such shareholder shall be designated Non-Election Shares. Subject to the terms of the Merger Agreement, this Plan of Merger and of the Election Form, the Exchange Agent shall have reasonable discretion to determine whether any election,
revocation or change has been properly or timely made and to disregard immaterial defects in any Election Form, and any good faith decisions of the Exchange Agent regarding such matters shall be binding and conclusive.
(j) Notwithstanding any other provisions contained herein, allocation will be made so that 60% of the Virginia Bancorp
Shares will be exchanged for CHC Common Stock and 40% of the Virginia Bancorp Shares will be exchanged for cash; provided that notwithstanding any provisions herein to the contrary, no more than 240,000 shares of CHC Common Stock nor more than
$4,689,920 in cash (excluding any cash paid in lieu of fractional shares), will be issued to the holders of Virginia Bancorp Shares. Accordingly, 60% of the total number of shares of Virginia Bancorp Shares outstanding at the Effective Time shall be
converted into CHC Common Stock and the remaining outstanding shares of Virginia Bancorp Shares (excluding shares of Virginia Bancorp Shares to be canceled as provided in Section 5(b) shall be converted into cash.
(k) Within three (3) business days after the Election Deadline, CHC shall cause the Exchange Agent to effect the
allocation among holders of Virginia Bancorp Shares of rights to receive cash and stock as follows:
(i) The Cash/Stock Election Shares shall be converted into the right to receive the Cash/Stock Consideration.
(ii) If the Stock Election Number exceeds the Stock Percentage Number, then:
(A) all Cash Election Shares shall be converted into the right to receive the Cash Consideration,
(B) Non-Election Shares shall be deemed to be Cash Election Shares to the extent necessary to have the total number of
Cash Election Shares equal the Cash Percentage Number. If less than all of the Non-Election Shares need to be treated as Cash Election Shares, then the Exchange Agent shall select which Non-Election shares shall be treated as Cash Election Shares in
such manner as the Exchange Agent shall determine, and all remaining Non-Election Shares shall thereafter be treated as Stock Election Shares,
A-6
(C) If all Non-Election Shares are treated as Cash Election Shares under
the preceding subsection and the total number of Cash Election Shares is less than the Cash Percentage Number, then the Exchange Agent shall convert on a pro rata basis as described below in Section 5(l) a sufficient number of Stock Election
Shares into Cash Election Shares (Reallocated Cash Shares) such that the sum of the number of Cash Election Shares (including Non-Election Shares treated as Cash Election Shares pursuant to the preceding subsection) plus the Reallocated
Cash Shares equals the Cash Percentage Number, and all Reallocated Cash Shares will be converted into the right to receive the Cash Consideration, and
(D) the Stock Election Shares which are not Reallocated Cash Shares shall be converted into the right to receive the Stock Consideration.
(iii) If the Stock Election Number is less than the Stock Percentage Number, then:
(A) all Stock Election Shares shall be converted into the right to receive the Stock Consideration,
(B) Non-Election Shares shall be deemed to be Stock Election Shares to the extent necessary to have the total number of
Stock Election Shares equal the Stock Percentage Number. If less than all of the Non-Election Shares need to be treated as Stock Election Shares, then the Exchange Agent shall select which Non-Election shares shall be treated as Stock Election
Shares in such manner as the Exchange Agent shall determine, and all remaining Non-Election Shares shall thereafter be treated as Cash Election Shares,
(C) If all Non-Election Shares are treated as Stock Election Shares under the preceding subsection and the total number of Stock Election Shares is less than the Stock Percentage Number, then the Exchange
Agent shall convert on a pro rata basis as described below in Section 5(1) a sufficient number of Cash Election Shares into Stock Election Shares (Reallocated Stock Shares) such that the sum of the number of Stock Election Shares
(including Non-Election Shares treated as Stock Election Shares pursuant to the preceding section) plus the Reallocated Stock Shares equals the Stock Percentage Number, and all Reallocated Stock Shares will be converted into the right to receive the
Stock Consideration, and
(D) the Cash Election Shares which are not Reallocated Stock Shares shall be
converted into the right to receive the Cash Consideration.
(l) In the event that the Exchange Agent is
required pursuant to Section 5(k)(ii)(C) to convert some Stock Election Shares into Reallocated Cash Shares, each holder of Stock Election Shares shall be allocated a pro rata portion of the total Reallocated Cash Shares. In the event the
Exchange Agent is required pursuant to Section 5(k)(iii)(C) to convert some Cash Election Shares into Reallocated Stock Shares, each holder of Cash Election Shares shall be allocated a pro rata portion of the total Reallocated Stock Shares.
(m) As soon as practicable but in no event more than five (5) calendar days after the Effective Date, the
Exchange Agent shall mail a letter of transmittal to each holder of record of Virginia Bancorp Shares whose Virginia Bancorp Shares were converted into the right to receive a portion of the Merger Consideration. The letter of transmittal shall
provide instructions for the submission of certificates (Old Certificates) (or an indemnity satisfactory to CHC, the Surviving Bank and Computershare Investor Services, LLC, as Exchange Agent (the Exchange Agent), if any
of such certificates are lost, stolen, or destroyed) representing all Virginia Bancorp Shares of such holder of record converted into the right to receive the applicable portion of the Merger Consideration at the Effective Time.
(n) At or prior to the Effective Time, CHC shall deposit, or shall cause to be deposited, with the Exchange Agent,
certificates representing the shares of CHC Common Stock (New Certificates) and an estimated amount of cash equal to the cash portion of the Merger Consideration and cash for fractional shares (such cash and New Certificates being
hereinafter referred to as, the Exchange Fund). In accordance with the terms contained in the letter of transmittal contemplated herein, the Exchange Agent shall distribute the Exchange Fund to the Virginia Bancorp shareholders upon
receipt of the Old Certificates or a satisfactory indemnity.
A-7
(o) CHC shall cause any check in respect of any cash that a holder of
Virginia Bancorp Shares shall be entitled to receive to be delivered to such shareholder no later than ten (10) days following delivery to the Exchange Agent of the Old Certificates (or indemnity satisfactory to CHC, City National Bank of West
Virginia and the Exchange Agent, if any of such certificates are lost, stolen or destroyed) owned by such shareholder. No interest will be paid on any per share Merger Consideration that any such holder shall be entitled to receive upon such
delivery.
(p) Any portion of the Exchange Fund that remains unclaimed by the shareholders of Virginia Bancorp
for one (1) year after the Effective Time shall be returned to CHC. Any shareholders of Virginia Bancorp who have not theretofore complied with the forgoing provisions shall thereafter look only to CHC for payment of any applicable per share
Merger Consideration, without any interest thereon.
(q) Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither the Exchange
Agent nor any party hereto shall be liable to any former holder of Virginia Bancorp Shares for any amount properly delivered to a public official pursuant to applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar laws.
6. Upon the Effective Date, Virginia Bancorp shall merge into and with CHC, which shall survive the Company Merger and the separate
existence of Virginia Bancorp shall thereupon cease.
7. Upon and after the Effective Date, CHC shall thereupon and thereafter
possess all the rights, privileges, powers and franchises, of a public, as well as a private nature, of each of the parties hereto; and all property, real, personal and mixed, all debts due on whatever account and all other choses in action and all
and every other interests of or belonging to or due to each of the parties hereto shall be taken and deemed to be transferred to and vested in CHC without further act or deed; and the title to any real estate, or any interest therein, shall not
revert or be in any way impaired by reason of the Company Merger.
8. Upon and after the Effective Date, CHC shall be
responsible and liable for all the liabilities and obligations of both of the parties hereto in the same manner and to the same extent as if CHC had itself incurred the same or contracted therefor; and any claim existing or action or proceeding by
or against either of the parties hereto may be prosecuted to judgment as if the Company Merger had not taken place or CHC may be substituted in its place. Neither the rights of creditors nor liens upon the property of either of the parties hereto
shall be impaired by such Company Merger; but any such lien shall be limited to the property upon which there were liens immediately prior to the time of the Company Merger.
9. The articles of incorporation of CHC shall continue to be the articles of incorporation of CHC upon and after the Effective Date until changed or amended in accordance with the terms thereof.
10. The Code of Bylaws of CHC shall continue to be the Code of Bylaws of CHC upon and after the Effective Date until changed
or amended in accordance with the terms thereof.
11. The directors of CHC immediately prior to the Effective Date shall
continue to hold such positions following the Company Merger, and such directors shall hold office until such time as their successors shall be duly elected and qualified.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises, and of the mutual
covenants, representations, warranties and agreements contained herein, the parties agree as follows:

Article III
Consideration
3.01
Consideration
.
Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, at the Effective Time:
(a) Each holder of a share of Virginia Bancorp Common Stock and Virginia Bancorp Series A Non-Voting Preferred Stock
issued and outstanding prior to the Effective Time (other than shares held directly or indirectly by CHC, except shares held by CHC in a fiduciary capacity or in satisfaction of a debt previously contracted, if any) (each a Virginia Bancorp
Share) shall receive in respect thereof, at the election of the holder as provided in and subject to this Agreement, one of the following forms of consideration: (i) 0.2297 shares of CHC Common Stock (the Stock Exchange Ratio)
for each Virginia Bancorp Share (the Stock Consideration) or (ii) $6.75 in cash for each Virginia Bancorp Share (the Cash Consideration) or (iii) 0.1263 shares of CHC Common Stock and $3.04 in cash for each Virginia
Bancorp Share (the Cash and Stock Exchange Ratio and together with the Stock Exchange Ratio, the Exchange Ratios) for each Virginia Bancorp Share (the Cash/Stock Consideration). The Stock Consideration, the
Cash Consideration and the Cash/Stock Consideration are sometimes collectively referred to herein as the Merger Consideration.
(b) Each Virginia Bancorp Share that, immediately prior to the Effective Time, is held directly or indirectly by CHC, other than shares held in a fiduciary capacity or in satisfaction of a debt
previously contracted, shall by virtue of the Company Merger be canceled and retired and shall cease to exist, and no exchange or payment shall be made therefor.
(c) Each share of CHC Common Stock that is issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall
continue to be an issued and outstanding share of CHC Common Stock at and after the Effective Time.
A-16
(d) Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any holder of Virginia Bancorp
Shares perfects such holders appraisal rights under the VSCA, any issued and outstanding Virginia Bancorp Shares held by such holder shall not be converted as described in this Section 3.01 but shall from and after the Effective Time
represent only the right to receive such consideration as may be determined to be due to such holder pursuant to the VSCA; provided, however, that each Virginia Bancorp Share outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time and held by a Virginia
Bancorp shareholder who, after the Effective Time, fails to perfect his or her appraisal rights, withdraws his or her demand for appraisal rights or otherwise loses his or her right to exercise appraisal rights shall have only the right to receive
the per share Merger Consideration for the number and type of Virginia Bancorp Shares held by such holder.
3.02
Rights as Shareholders; Stock Transfers
. At the Effective Time, holders of Virginia Bancorp Shares shall cease to
be, and shall have no rights as, shareholders of Virginia Bancorp, other than the right to receive (a) any dividend or other distribution with respect to such Virginia Bancorp Shares with a record date occurring prior to the Effective Date,
(b) the applicable type of per share Merger Consideration for each Virginia Bancorp Share, as provided under this Article III, and (3) any appraisal rights to which they may be entitled under the VSCA if such holders have perfected such
appraisal rights under the VSCA. After the Effective Time, there shall be no transfers on the stock transfer books of Virginia Bancorp or the Surviving Corporation of Virginia Bancorp Shares.
3.03
Fractional Shares
. Notwithstanding any other provision in this Agreement, no fractional shares of CHC Common Stock
and no certificates or scrip therefor, or other evidence of ownership thereof, will be issued in the Company Merger; instead, CHC shall pay to each holder of Virginia Bancorp Shares who otherwise would be entitled to a fractional share of CHC Common
Stock an amount in cash (without interest) determined by multiplying such fraction by the CHC Average Closing Price. The
CHC Average Closing Price
shall equal the average of the per share closing prices of a share of CHC
Common Stock as reported on the Nasdaq Global Select Market during the ten (10) trading days immediately preceding the tenth (10th) calendar day immediately preceding the Effective Date (the CHC Average Closing Price).
3.04
Election and Proration Procedures
.
(a) An election form in such form as Virginia Bancorp and CHC shall mutually agree (an Election Form)
shall be mailed on the Mailing Date (as defined below) to each holder of record of Virginia Bancorp Shares. The Mailing Date shall be the date on which proxy materials relating to the Company Merger are mailed to holders of Virginia
Bancorp Shares. CHC shall make available Election Forms as may be reasonably requested by all persons who become holders of Virginia Bancorp Shares after the record date for eligibility to vote on the Company Merger and prior to the Election
Deadline (as defined herein), and Virginia Bancorp shall provide to the Exchange Agent (as defined herein) all information reasonably necessary for it to perform its obligations as specified herein.
(b) Each Election Form shall entitle the holder of Virginia Bancorp Shares (or the beneficial owner through
appropriate and customary documentation and instructions) to (i) elect to receive the Stock Consideration for all of such holders shares (a Stock Election), (ii) elect to receive the Cash Consideration for all of such
holders shares (a Cash Election), (iii) elect to receive the Cash/Stock Consideration for all such holders shares (a Cash/Stock Election) or (iv) make no election or indicate that such holder has no
preference as to the receipt of the Cash Consideration, the Stock Consideration or the Cash/Stock Consideration (a Non-Election). Holders of record of Virginia Bancorp Shares who hold such shares as nominees, trustees or in other
representative capacities (a Representative) may submit multiple Election Forms, provided that such Representative certifies that each such Election Form covers all the shares of Virginia Bancorp Shares held by that Representative for a
particular beneficial owner. Virginia Bancorp Shares as to which a Cash Election has been made are referred to herein as Cash Election Shares. Virginia Bancorp Shares as to which a Stock Election has been made are referred to herein as
Stock Election Shares. Virginia Bancorp Shares as to which a Cash/Stock Election has been made are referred to herein as Cash/Stock Election Shares. Virginia Bancorp Shares as to which no election has been made are
A-17
referred to herein as Non-Election Shares. For purposes of this Section 3.04, shares subject to appraisal rights shall be deemed Cash Election Shares. The aggregate number of
Virginia Bancorp Shares with respect to which a Cash Election has been made is referred to herein as the Cash Election Number. The aggregate number of Virginia Bancorp Shares with respect to which a Stock Election has been made is
referred to herein as the Stock Election Number. The aggregate number of Virginia Bancorp Shares with respect to which a Cash/Stock Election has been made is referred to herein as the Cash/Stock Election Number. The
number of Virginia Bancorp Shares obtained by subtracting (i) the Cash/Stock Election Number from (ii) the aggregate number of Virginia Bancorp Shares outstanding as of the Effective Time is referred to herein as the Leftover
Shares. The number obtained by multiplying the Leftover Shares by 0.55 shall be referred to as the Stock Percentage Number. The number obtained by multiplying the Leftover Shares by 0.45 shall be referred to as the
Cash Percentage Number.
(c) To be effective, a properly completed Election Form must be
received by the Exchange Agent on or before 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the third business day immediately preceding the date of the meeting of shareholders of Virginia Bancorp referred to in Section 6.02 hereof (or such other time and
date as Virginia Bancorp and CHC may mutually agree) (the Election Deadline). An election shall have been properly made only if the Exchange Agent shall have actually received a properly completed Election Form by the Election Deadline.
Any holder of Virginia Bancorp Shares may at any time prior to the Election Deadline change his or her election by written notice received by the Exchange Agent prior to the Election Deadline accompanied by a properly completed and signed revised
Election Form. Any holder of Virginia Bancorp Shares may, at any time prior to the Election Deadline, revoke his or her election by written notice received by the Exchange Agent prior to the Election Deadline. All elections shall be revoked
automatically if the Exchange Agent is notified in writing by CHC and Virginia Bancorp that this Agreement has been terminated. If a shareholder either (i) does not submit a properly completed Election Form by the Election Deadline or
(ii) revokes (as opposed to changes) his or her Election Form prior to the Election Deadline and does not submit a new properly executed Election Form prior to the Election Deadline, the Virginia Bancorp Shares held by such shareholder shall be
designated Non-Election Shares. Subject to the terms of this Agreement and of the Election Form, the Exchange Agent shall have reasonable discretion to determine whether any election, revocation or change has been properly or timely made and to
disregard immaterial defects in any Election Form, and any good faith decisions of the Exchange Agent regarding such matters shall be binding and conclusive.
(d) Notwithstanding any other provision contained in this Agreement, allocation will be made so that 55% of the Virginia Bancorp Shares will be exchanged for CHC Common Stock and 45% of the Virginia
Bancorp Shares will be exchanged for cash; provided that notwithstanding any provision herein to the contrary, no more than 240,000 shares of CHC Common Stock will be issued to the holders of Virginia Bancorp Shares. Accordingly, 55% of the

|
|
(A)
|
all Cash Election Shares shall be converted into the right to receive the Cash Consideration,
|
|
(B)
|
Non-Election Shares shall be deemed to be Cash Election Shares to the extent necessary to have the total number of Cash Election Shares equal the Cash
Percentage Number. If less than all of the Non-Election Shares need to be treated as Cash Election Shares, then the Exchange Agent shall
|
A-18
|
select which Non-Election shares shall be treated as Cash Election Shares in such manner as the Exchange Agent shall determine, and all remaining Non-Election Shares shall thereafter be treated
as Stock Election Shares,
|
|
(C)
|
If all Non-Election Shares are treated as Cash Election Shares under the preceding subsection and the total number of Cash Election Shares is less than the Cash
Percentage Number, then the Exchange Agent shall convert on a pro rata basis as described below in Section 3.04(f) a sufficient number of Stock Election Shares into Cash Election Shares (Reallocated Cash Shares) such that the sum of
the number of Cash Election Shares (including Non-Election Shares treated as Cash Election Shares pursuant to the preceding subsection) plus the Reallocated Cash Shares equals the Cash Percentage Number, and all Reallocated Cash Shares will be
converted into the right to receive the Cash Consideration, and
|
|
(D)
|
the Stock Election Shares which are not Reallocated Cash Shares shall be converted into the right to receive the Stock Consideration.
|
|
(iii)
|
If the Stock Election Number is less than the Stock Percentage Number, then:
|
|
(A)
|
all Stock Election Shares shall be converted into the right to receive the Stock Consideration,
|
|
(B)
|
Non-Election Shares shall be deemed to be Stock Election Shares to the extent necessary to have the total number of Stock Election Shares equal the Stock Percentage
Number. If less than all of the Non-Election Shares need to be treated as Stock Election Shares, then the Exchange Agent shall select which Non-Election shares shall be treated as Stock Election Shares in such manner as the Exchange Agent shall
determine, and all remaining Non-Election Shares shall thereafter be treated as Cash Election Shares,
|
|
(C)
|
If all Non-Election Shares are treated as Stock Election Shares under the preceding subsection and the total number of Stock Election Shares is less than the Stock
Percentage Number, then the Exchange Agent shall convert on a pro rata basis as described below in Section 3.04(f) a sufficient number of Cash Election Shares into Stock Election Shares (Reallocated Stock Shares) such that the sum
of the number of Stock Election Shares (including Non-Election Shares treated as Stock Election Shares pursuant to the preceding section) plus the Reallocated Stock Shares equals the Stock Percentage Number, and all Reallocated Stock Shares will be
converted into the right to receive the Stock Consideration, and
|
|
(D)
|
the Cash Election Shares which are not Reallocated Stock Shares shall be converted into the right to receive the Cash Consideration.
|
(f) In the event that the Exchange Agent is required pursuant to Section 3.04(e)(ii)(C) to convert some Stock
Election Shares into Reallocated Cash Shares, each holder of Stock Election Shares shall be allocated a pro rata portion of the total Reallocated Cash Shares. In the event the Exchange Agent is required pursuant to Section 3.04(e)(iii)(C)
to convert some Cash Election Shares into Reallocated Stock Shares, each holder of Cash Election Shares shall be allocated a pro rata portion of the total Reallocated Stock Shares.

representing all Virginia Bancorp Shares of such holder of record converted into the right to receive the applicable portion of the Merger Consideration at the Effective Time.

entitled to receive pursuant to this Article III upon such delivery.
(d) Any portion of the Exchange Fund
that remains unclaimed by the shareholders of Virginia Bancorp for one year after the Effective Time shall be returned to CHC. Any shareholders of Virginia Bancorp who have not theretofore complied with this Article III shall thereafter look

Defined Contribution Plans
. Virginia Bancorp maintains a 401(k) plan (the VSB 401(k)

Plan and past practices. Subject to the following and in CHCs sole discretion, the VSB 401(k) Plan shall either be merged with the CHC 401(k) Plan at the Effective Time or terminated prior to the Effective Time. If the
VSB 401(k) Plan is merged into the CHC 401(k) Plan, subject to applicable law and the requirements of the CHC 401(k) Plan, City National shall
assume the VSB 401(k) Plan, merge such plan into its own CHC 401(k)

Effective Time, former employees of Virginia Savings participating in the merged plan shall receive credit for eligibility and vesting purposes, for the service of such employees with Virginia Savings prior to the Effective Time as if such service
were with CHC; provided, however, that the benefit of any such former employee of Virginia Savings in respect of service prior to the Effective Time shall be determined under the contribution formulae under the VSB 401(k) Plan as in effect from time
to time prior to the Effective Time and the benefit of any such former employee of Virginia Savings in respect of service from and after the Effective Time shall be determined under the contribution formulae under the CHC 401(k) Plan as in effect
from time to time from and after the Effective Time, all provided that, notwithstanding any of the foregoing, all such credit and vesting shall be determined in compliance with applicable law and regulations. If the VSB 401(k) Plan is
terminated, the VSB 401(k) Plan shall be terminated effective immediately prior to the Effective Time, and participants in the plan shall be fully vested, and benefits under the plan shall have been frozen. Upon plan termination, distributions
will be made to participants in the VSB 401(k) Plan, and such participants who continue in the employment with CHC or City National or any successor thereto shall be permitted to make a direct rollover of such distributions to a qualified retirement
plan sponsored by CHC or any successor thereto, excluding the direct rollover of any outstanding plan loan obligations.

CHC and its subsidiaries, except as otherwise provided herein. Except as hereinafter provided, at the Effective Time, CHC will amend or cause to be amended each employee benefit and welfare plan of CHC and its subsidiaries in which Former VSB
Employees are eligible to participate, to the extent necessary, so that as of the Effective Time (i) such plans take into account for purposes of eligibility, participation, vesting and benefit accrual (except that there shall not be any
benefit accrual for past service under any qualified defined benefit pension plan), the service of such employees with Virginia Savings as if such service were with CHC and its subsidiaries, (ii) Former VSB Employees are not subject to any
waiting periods or pre-existing condition limitations under the medical, dental and health plans of CHC or its subsidiaries in which they are eligible to participate and may commence participation in such plans on the Effective Time,
(iii) Former VSB Employees will retain credit for unused sick leave (to a maximum of 180 days) and vacation pay for unused vacation days for the current year only without carryover of vacation days for prior years, which has been accrued as of
the Effective Time, (iv) for purposes of determining the entitlement of Former VSB Employees to sick leave and vacation pay following the Effective Time, the service of such employees with Virginia Savings shall be treated as if such service
were with CHC and its subsidiaries; and (v) Former VSB Employees are first eligible to participate and will commence participation in the CHC 401(k) Plan on the Effective Time. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Former VSB Employees shall
be eligible to participate in City Holdings West Virginia Bankers Association Master Retirement Plan.
(b) At the Effective Time, the employment agreement between Virginia Savings and W. Michael Funk
(Executive) shall terminate. On or before the Effective Time, Executive shall enter into a Non-Compete and Non-Solicitation Agreement (Non-Compete and Non-Solicitation Agreement) in the form of

Exhibit D
, shall be entitled to severance pay equal to one
(1) week of pay, at their rate of pay in effect at the Effective Time, for each full year of continuous service with Virginia Savings prior to the Effective Time (the Severance Period) and, in the case of employees who continue as
employees of CHC or its subsidiaries after the Effective Time, prior to their termination as such, subject to a minimum of ten (10) weeks and a maximum of twenty-six (26) weeks of pay. Furthermore, any terminated employees shall be
entitled to continuation coverage under City Nationals group health plans or under Virginia Savings health plans continued by City National as provided in Section 6.14(a), as required by COBRA. City National shall pay for COBRA
coverage for the Severance Period for those employees entitled to severance under this Section 6.15. Nothing in this Section 6.15 shall be deemed to limit or modify the at-will employment policy of CHC or its subsidiaries.

cover the present and former officers and directors of Virginia Bancorp and Virginia Savings (determined as of the Effective Time) for a period of three (3) years from the Effective Time with respect to claims against such directors and
officers arising from facts or events that occurred before the Effective Time, which insurance shall contain at least the same coverage and amounts, and contain terms and conditions no less advantageous, as that coverage currently provided by
Virginia Bancorp and Virginia Savings; provided however, that if CHC is unable to obtain such endorsement or a commitment for such endorsement within thirty (30) days prior to the Effective Time, then Virginia Bancorp may purchase tail coverage
under its existing director and officer liability insurance policy for such claims; provided, further, that in no event shall CHC be required to expend in the aggregate during each year in such three-year period more than 150% of the current annual
amount spent by Virginia Bancorp (the Insurance Amount) to maintain or procure its current directors and officers insurance coverage; provided further, that if CHC is unable to maintain or obtain the insurance called for by

required to make application and provide customary representations and warranties to CHCs insurance carrier for the purpose of obtaining such insurance.

losses, expenses (including attorneys fees), claims, amounts paid in settlement, damages or liabilities arising out of actions or omissions occurring on or prior to the Effective Time (including, without limitation, the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement), regardless of whether such claim is asserted or claimed after the Effective Time, to the same extent and on the same conditions as such person was entitled to such indemnification pursuant to applicable law, contract
and Virginia Bancorps or Virginia Savings articles of incorporation, charter and bylaws, respectively, as in effect on the date of this Agreement, to the extent Virginia Bancorp or Virginia Savings was legally required or permitted to do
so with respect to matters occurring on or before the Effective Time, including provisions relating to advances of expenses incurred in the defense of any action or suit.
(c) If CHC shall consolidate with or merge into any other entity and shall not be the continuing or surviving entity
of such consolidation or merger or shall transfer all or substantially all of its assets to any entity, then and in each case, proper provision shall be made so that the successors and assigns of CHC shall assume the obligations set forth in this
Section 6.16.
(d) The provisions of this Section 6.16 are intended to be for the benefit of and
shall be enforceable by each person who is entitled to be indemnified by Virginia Bancorp or Virginia Savings and his or her heirs and personal representatives.

Termination
9.01
Termination
. This Agreement may be terminated and the Company Merger may be abandoned:
(a)
Mutual Consent
. At any time prior to the Effective Time, by the mutual consent of CHC and Virginia Bancorp, if the Board of Directors of each so determines by vote of a majority of
the members of its entire Board of Directors.
(b)
Breach
. At any time prior to the Effective
Time, by CHC in writing if Virginia Bancorp or Virginia Savings has, or by Virginia Bancorp or Virginia Savings in writing if CHC or City National has, breached in any material respect any covenant or undertaking contained herein or any
representation or warranty contained herein such that the conditions set forth in Section 7.02(a) or 7.02(b), or Section 7.03(a) or 7.03(b), whichever is applicable, would not be satisfied, unless such breach has been or may be cured
within thirty (30) days after written notice of such breach.
A-46
(c)
Delay
. At any time prior to the Effective Time, by CHC
or Virginia Bancorp, in each case if its Board of Directors so determines by vote of a majority of the members of its entire Board of Directors, in the event that the Company Merger is not consummated by April 30, 2012, except to the extent
that the failure of the Company Merger then to be consummated arises out of or results from the action or inaction of the party seeking to terminate pursuant to this Section 9.01(c).
(d)
No Approval
. By Virginia Bancorp or CHC, in each case if its Board of Directors so determines by a
vote of a majority of the members of its entire Board, in the event (1) the approval of any Governmental Authority required for consummation of the Company Merger, the Subsidiary Merger and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement
shall have been denied by final non-appealable action of such Governmental Authority or (2) the shareholder approval contemplated by Section 6.02 herein is not obtained within sixty (60) days of the date of the Proxy Statement;
provided, however, that neither Virginia Bancorp nor CHC shall be entitled to terminate this Agreement under this section unless it has complied with all of its obligations under this Agreement with respect to the Registration Statement, the Proxy
Statement and the Virginia Bancorp shareholder meeting.
(e)
Failure to Recommend, Etc
. By CHC
if (1) upon the effectiveness of the Registration Statement, the Board of Directors of Virginia Bancorp shall not have recommended approval of this Agreement to its shareholders, or (2) at any time prior to the receipt of the approval of
Virginia Bancorps shareholders contemplated by Section 6.02(a), Virginia Bancorps Board of Directors shall have withdrawn such recommendation or modified or changed such recommendation in a manner adverse to the interests of CHC
(whether in accordance with Section 6.02 or otherwise).
(f)
Acceptance of Superior
Proposal
. By Virginia Bancorp, if, without breaching Section 6.06, Virginia Bancorp shall enter into a definitive agreement with a third party providing for an Acquisition Proposal on terms determined in good faith by the Virginia
Bancorp Board, after consulting with and considering the advice of Virginia Bancorps outside counsel and financial advisors, to constitute a Superior Proposal (as defined below); provided, that the right to terminate this Agreement under this
Section 9.01(f) shall not be available to Virginia Bancorp unless it delivers to CHC (1) written notice of Virginia Bancorps intention to terminate at least five (5) days prior to termination and (2) simultaneously with
such termination, the Fee referred to in Section 9.04. For purposes of this Section 9.01(f), Superior Proposal means an Acquisition Proposal made by a third party after the date hereof which, in the good faith judgment of
the Board of Directors of Virginia Bancorp, taking into account the financial aspects of the proposal and the person making such proposal, (1) if accepted, is more likely than not to be consummated, and (2) if consummated, is reasonably
likely to result in a more favorable transaction than the Company Merger for Virginia Bancorp and its shareholders.
9.02
Decline in CHC Common Stock Price
. This Agreement may be terminated and the Company Merger may be abandoned by Virginia
Bancorp, if the Virginia Bancorp Board so determines by a vote of the majority of the members of the entire Virginia Bancorp Board, at any time during the five-day period commencing with the Determination Date, if both of the following conditions
are satisfied:
(a) The number obtained by dividing the CHC Average Price by the Starting Price (as
defined below) (the CHC Ratio) shall be less than 0.80; and
(b) (x) the CHC Ratio shall
be less than (y) the number obtained by dividing the Final Index Price by the Starting Index Price (each as defined below) and subtracting 0.20 from the quotient in this clause (ii) (y) (such number in this clause
(ii) (y) being referred to herein as the Index Ratio);
subject, however, to the following three (3) sentences. If
Virginia Bancorp elects to exercise its termination right pursuant to this Section 9.02 it shall give written notice to CHC (provided that such notice of election to terminate may be withdrawn at any time within the aforementioned five-day
period). During the five-day period commencing with its receipt of such notice, CHC shall have the option to increase the consideration to be received by the holders of Virginia Bancorp Shares hereunder, by adjusting the applicable Exchange Ratio
A-47
(calculated to the nearest one one-thousandth) so that the value equals the lesser of (x) a number (rounded to the nearest one one-thousandth) obtained by dividing (A) the product of
the Starting Price, 0.80 and the applicable Exchange Ratio (as then in effect) by (B) the CHC Average Price and (y) a number (rounded to the nearest one one-thousandth) obtained by dividing (A) the product of the Index Ratio and the
applicable Exchange Ratio (as then in effect) by (B) the CHC Ratio. If CHC so elects within such five-day period, it shall give prompt written notice to Virginia Bancorp of such election and the revised applicable Exchange Ratio, whereupon no
termination shall have occurred pursuant to this Section 9.02 and this Agreement shall remain in effect in accordance with its terms (except as the applicable Exchange Ratio shall have been so modified.)
For purposes of this Section 9.02 the following terms shall have the meanings indicated:
CHC Average Price means the average of the per share closing prices of a share of CHC Common Stock as reported on the Nasdaq
Global Select Market during the ten (10) consecutive full trading days ending on the trading day prior to the Determination Date.
Determination Date means the later of (i) the date on which the last approval, consent or waiver of any Governmental Authority required to permit consummation of the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement is received, without regard to any requisite waiting period in respect thereof, or (ii) the date on which the shareholders of Virginia Bancorp approve the Agreement and the Company Merger.
Final Index Price means the average of the Index Prices for the ten (10) consecutive full trading days ending on the
trading day prior to the Determination Date.
Index Price on a given date means the closing value of the NASDAQ
Bank Index.
Starting Index Price means $1,475.67.
Starting Price means $29.39.
If CHC declares or effects a stock dividend, reclassification, recapitalization, split-up, combination, exchange of shares or similar transaction between the date of this Agreement and the Determination
Date, the prices for the CHC Common Stock shall be appropriately adjusted for the purposes of applying this Section 9.02.
9.03
Effect of Termination and Abandonment
. In the event of termination of this Agreement and the abandonment of the
Company Merger pursuant to this Article IX, no party to this Agreement shall have any liability or further obligation to any other party hereunder except (a) as set forth in Sections 9.04 and 10.01 and (b) that termination will not relieve
a breaching party from liability for any willful breach of this Agreement giving rise to such termination unless such party is obligated to pay and has paid the Fee pursuant to Section 9.04.
9.04
Liquidated Damages
. If (1) CHC terminates this Agreement pursuant to Section 9.01(e) or (2) Virginia
Bancorp terminates this Agreement pursuant to Section 9.01(f), then, within five (5) business days of such termination, Virginia Bancorp shall pay CHC by wire transfer in immediately available funds, as agreed upon liquidated damages and
not as a penalty and as the sole and exclusive remedy, $650,000 (the Fee). If (i) this Agreement is terminated solely by reason of the failure of Virginia Bancorp to receive shareholder approval of the Company Merger and an
Acquisition Proposal was publicly announced or disclosed at any time after the date of this Agreement and prior to the date of any Virginia Bancorp shareholder meeting to consider this Agreement, and (ii) if, within twelve (12) months
after the date of the announcement of the Acquisition Proposal, a change in control of Virginia Bancorp is consummated, then Virginia Bancorp shall pay the Fee to CHC by wire transfer in immediately available funds within three (3) days of the
consummation of such Acquisition Proposal. (For purposes of this Section 9.04, a change in control of Virginia Bancorp shall be deemed to have taken place if: (w) any person or entity, including a group as
defined in Section 13(d)(3) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, other than Virginia Bancorp, or any employee benefit plan of Virginia Bancorp, is or becomes the
A-48
beneficial owner, directly or indirectly, of securities representing more than fifty percent (50%) of the then-issued and outstanding common stock of Virginia Bancorp or the combined voting
power of the then-outstanding securities of Virginia Bancorp, whether through a tender offer or otherwise; (x) there occurs any consolidation or merger in which Virginia Bancorp is not the continuing or surviving corporation (except for a
merger in which the holders of Virginia Bancorps common stock and/or other voting stock immediately prior to the merger have the same proportionate ownership of common and/or other voting stock of the surviving corporation immediately after
the merger); (y) there occurs any consolidation or merger in which Virginia Bancorp is the surviving corporation but in which shares of its common and/or other voting stock would be converted into cash or securities of any other corporation or
other property or if its shareholders own less than fifty percent (50%) of the outstanding common stock immediately after the transaction; or (z) there occurs any sale, lease, exchange or other transfer (in one transaction or a series of
related transactions) of all or substantially all of the assets of Virginia Bancorp. No Fee shall be required to be paid if CHC or Virginia Bancorp terminates this Agreement solely because of the failure of Virginia Bancorp to obtain the
shareholder approval of this Agreement and the actions and transactions contemplated hereby.

The Board of Directors (the Board) of Virginia Savings Bancorp, Inc., a Virginia corporation

Merger, dated March 14, 2012, by and among Virginia Bancorp, Virginia Savings, CHC and City National (collectively, the Agreement), pursuant to which Virginia Bancorp will merge with and into CHC (the Transaction). Under the
terms of the Agreement, upon consummation of the Transaction, each outstanding share of Virginia Bancorp common stock, par value $1.00 per share, and each share of Virginia Bancorp Series A Non-Voting Preferred Stock, par value $1.00 per share
(together the Virginia Bancorp Shares), issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Transaction (other than Virginia Bancorp Shares held directly or indirectly by CHC, except Virginia Bancorp Shares held by CHC in a fiduciary
capacity or in satisfaction of a debt previously contracted, if any), will be converted into the right to receive, at the election of the holder (subject to allocation and proration pursuant to the terms of the Agreement), (a) 0.2100 shares of
CHC common stock, par value $2.50 per share, for each Virginia Bancorp Share (the Stock Consideration) or (b) $6.17 in cash for each Virginia Bancorp Share (the Cash Consideration) or (c) 0.1260 shares of CHC common
stock and $2.47 in cash for each Virginia Bancorp Share (the Cash/Stock Consideration and, collectively with the Stock Consideration and the Cash Consideration, the Merger Consideration). The terms and conditions of the
Transaction are more fully set forth in the Agreement.
Scott & Stringfellow has acted as financial advisor to the
Board in connection with the Transaction. As a customary part of our investment banking business, we regularly engage in the valuation of financial institutions and their securities in connection with mergers and acquisitions and other corporate
transactions. In the ordinary course of our business as a broker-dealer, we may, from time to time purchase securities from, and sell securities to, Virginia Bancorp and CHC, and as a market maker in securities, we may from time to time have a long
or short position in, and buy, sell or hold equity securities of Virginia Bancorp and CHC for our own account and for the accounts of our customers. Further, Scott & Stringfellow initiated equity research coverage of CHC on August 19,
2011 and will from time to time publish research notes on CHC in the future.

We also held
discussions with members of senior management of Virginia Bancorp and CHC regarding the reasons and basis for the Transaction and regarding the historical and current business operations, financial condition, results of operations, regulatory
relationships and future prospects (including, with respect to senior management of Virginia Bancorp and CHC, synergies anticipated to result from the Transaction) of their respective companies and such other matters as we have deemed relevant to
our inquiry.
In conducting our review and arriving at our opinion, we have relied upon and assumed the accuracy and
completeness of all of the financial and other information that was available to us from public sources, that was provided to us by Virginia Bancorp and CHC or their respective representatives, or that was otherwise reviewed by us (including the
Forecasts), and we assumed such accuracy and completeness in rendering this opinion. We have further relied on the assurances of management of Virginia Bancorp and CHC that they are not aware of any facts or circumstances that would make any of such
information inaccurate or misleading. We have not been asked nor have we attempted independently to verify such information, and we assume no responsibility or liability for independently verifying the accuracy and completeness of such information.
We did not make an independent evaluation or appraisal of any specific assets, any collateral securing assets or the liabilities, including any contingent, off-balance sheet assets or liabilities, of Virginia Bancorp or CHC or any of their
subsidiaries. We did not make an independent evaluation of the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses of Virginia Bancorp or CHC nor have we reviewed any individual credit files relating to Virginia Bancorp or CHC. We assumed, with your consent,
the respective allowances for loan losses for both Virginia Bancorp and CHC are adequate to cover such losses and will be adequate for the combined entity on a pro forma basis after all accounting adjustments for the Transaction. We also assumed
that all governmental, regulatory or other consents and approvals necessary for the consummation of the Transaction will be obtained without any adverse effect on Virginia Bancorp and CHC or on the expected benefits of the Transaction.
With respect to the financial projections (including the Forecasts) and earnings estimates for Virginia Bancorp and CHC and all
projections of transaction costs, purchase and other accounting adjustments and expected cost savings or other synergies prepared by and/or reviewed with the management of Virginia Bancorp and CHC and used by Scott & Stringfellow in its
analyses, Virginia Bancorps senior management confirmed to us that they have been reasonably prepared on a basis reflecting the best currently available estimates and judgments of the respective management of Virginia Bancorp and CHC as to the
future financial performance of CHC as the surviving entity in the Transaction, and we assumed that such financial performance would be achieved. We express no opinion as to such financial projections (including the Forecasts) or the assumptions or
judgments on which they are based. We have assumed that there has been no material change in the assets, financial conditions, results of operations, business or prospects of Virginia Bancorp and CHC since the date of the most recent financial
statements made available to us. We have further assumed, with your consent, that the synergies referenced above will be realized substantially in accordance with the expectations of Virginia Bancorp and CHC as expressed to us by them. Moreover, we
have assumed that the Transaction will be consummated upon the terms set forth in the Agreement without material alteration or waiver thereof, and that the representations and warranties of each party in the Agreement and in all related documents
and instruments referred to in the Agreement are true and correct. Finally, with your consent, we have relied upon the advice Virginia Bancorp has received from its legal, accounting and tax advisors as to all legal, accounting and tax matters
related to the Transaction and other transactions contemplated by the Agreement.
Our opinion is necessarily based on, and we
have necessarily taken into account, the financial, economic, market and other conditions as in effect on, and the information made available to us as of, the date hereof. We are not legal, tax, regulatory, or bankruptcy advisors. We have not
considered any legislative or regulatory changes recently adopted or currently being considered by the United States Congress, the various federal

banking agencies, the Securities
and Exchange Commission (the SEC), or any other regulatory bodies, or any changes in accounting methods or generally accepted accounting principles that may be adopted by the SEC or the Financial Accounting Standards Board, or any
changes in regulatory accounting principles that may be adopted by any or all of the federal banking agencies. Our opinion is not a solvency opinion and does not in any way address the solvency or financial condition of CHC or Virginia Bancorp.
Events occurring after the date hereof could materially affect this opinion. We have no obligation to update, revise, reaffirm or withdraw this opinion or otherwise comment upon events occurring after the date hereof. We are expressing no opinion
herein as to what the value of shares of CHC common stock will be when issued to Virginia Bancorp shareholders at the closing of the Transaction pursuant to the Agreement or the prices at which shares of CHC common stock may trade at any time.
The terms of the fee arrangement with Scott & Stringfellow, which Scott & Stringfellow and Virginia Bancorp
believe are customary in transactions of this nature, were negotiated at arms length between Virginia Bancorp and Scott & Stringfellow, and the Board was aware of such arrangement, including the fact that the majority of the fee
payable to Scott & Stringfellow is contingent upon consummation of the merger. Virginia Bancorp also has agreed to reimburse Scott & Stringfellow for reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with its engagement and
has agreed, or will agree, to indemnify Scott & Stringfellow and certain related persons against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the federal securities laws, in connection with our engagement for the delivery of this
opinion.
Our opinion is directed to the Board in connection with its consideration of the Transaction and our opinion does
not constitute a recommendation to any holder of Virginia Bancorp Shares as to how such holder should vote at any meeting of shareholders called to consider and vote upon the Agreement or whether any such holder should elect to receive the Cash
Consideration, the Stock Consideration or the Cash/Stock Consideration. This opinion is not intended to, and does not, (i) create any rights or remedies for any person or entity, other than the Board or (ii) create any fiduciary duty on
the part of Scott & Stringfellow to any party. Scott & Stringfellow was not retained as an advisor or agent to Virginia Bancorps shareholders or any other person, and it is acting only as a financial advisor to Virginia
Bancorps Board of Directors. This opinion has been reviewed and approved by our Investment Banking Valuation Committee in conformity with our policies and procedures established under the requirements of FINRA Rule 5150 of the Financial
Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc. Our opinion is limited and directed only to the fairness, from a financial point of view, to Virginia Bancorp and the shareholders of the Merger Consideration to be received by the shareholders of Virginia Bancorp
in connection with the Transaction and pursuant to the terms of the Agreement and does not address the underlying business decision by Virginia Bancorp to engage in the Transaction, the relative merits of the Transaction as compared to any other
alternative business strategies or other strategic alternatives that might exist for Virginia Bancorp, the fairness of the amount or nature of any compensation to any of the officers, directors or employees of Virginia Bancorp, or class of such
persons, relative to the compensation to the public holders of Virginia Bancorp Shares or the effect of any other transaction in which Virginia Bancorp might engage or the fairness of the Transaction to the holders of any securities of CHC or any
creditor or other constituencies of CHC. Our opinion is not to be quoted or referred to, in whole or part, in a registration statement, prospectus, proxy statement or in any other document, nor shall this opinion be used for any other purposes,
without Scott & Stringfellows prior written consent. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Scott & Stringfellow hereby consents to the inclusion of this opinion as an exhibit to the proxy statement to be distributed to Virginia
Bancorps shareholders to solicit their approval of the Transaction. Scott & Stringfellow further consents to the inclusion of a summary of this opinion in such proxy statement.

withdraw without the corporations written consent.
C. A shareholder who does not sign and return the form and, in the case of
certificated shares, deposit that shareholders share certificates where required, each by the date set forth in the notice described in subsection B of § 13.1-734, shall not be entitled to payment under this article.
§ 13.1-737. Payment.
A. Except as
provided in § 13.1-738, within 30 days after the form required by subsection B 2 b of § 13.1-734 is due, the corporation shall pay in cash to those shareholders who complied with subsection A of § 13.1-735.1 the amount the corporation
estimates to be the fair value of their shares plus interest.
B. The payment to each shareholder pursuant to subsection A shall be
accompanied by:
1. The (i) annual financial statements specified in subsection A of § 13.1-774 of the corporation that issued the
shares to be appraised, which shall be as of a date ending not more than 16 months before the date of payment and shall comply with subsection B of § 13.1-774; provided that, if such annual financial statements are not available, the
corporation shall provide reasonably equivalent information, and (ii) the latest available quarterly financial statements of such corporation, if any;
2. A statement of the corporations estimate of the fair value of the shares, which estimate shall equal or exceed the corporations estimate given pursuant to subdivision B 2 c of §
13.1-734; and
3. A statement that shareholders described in subsection A have the right to demand further payment under § 13.1-739 and
that if any such shareholder does not do so within the time period specified therein, such shareholder shall be deemed to have accepted such payment in full satisfaction of the corporations obligations under this article.
§ 13.1-738. After-acquired shares.
A. A corporation may elect to withhold payment required by § 13.1-737 from any shareholder who was required to, but did not certify that beneficial
ownership of all of the shareholders shares for which appraisal rights are asserted was acquired before the date set forth in the appraisal notice sent pursuant to subdivision B 1 of § 13.1-734.
B. If the corporation elected to withhold payment under subsection A, it shall, within 30 days after the form required by subdivision B 2 b of §
13.1-734 is due, notify all shareholders who are described in subsection A:
1. Of the information required by subdivision B 1 of §
13.1-737;
2. Of the corporations estimate of fair value pursuant to subdivision B 2 of § 13.1-737 and its offer to pay such value
plus interest;
3. That they may accept the corporations estimate of fair value plus interest in full satisfaction of their demands or
demand for appraisal under § 13.1-739;
C-6
4. That those shareholders who wish to accept such offer must so notify the corporation of their acceptance
of the corporations offer within 30 days after receiving the offer; and
5. That those shareholders who do not satisfy the requirements
for demanding appraisal under § 13.1-739 shall be deemed to have accepted the corporations offer.
C. Within 10 days after
receiving a shareholders acceptance pursuant to subsection B, the corporation shall pay in cash the amount it offered under subdivision B 2 to each shareholder who agreed to accept the corporations offer in full satisfaction of the
shareholders demand.
D. Within 40 days after sending the notice described in subsection B, the corporation shall pay in cash the amount
it offered to pay under subdivision B 2 to each shareholder described in subdivision B 5.
§ 13.1-739. Procedure if shareholder
dissatisfied with payment or offer.
A. A shareholder paid pursuant to § 13.1-737 who is dissatisfied with the amount of the payment
must notify the corporation in writing of that shareholders stated estimate of the fair value of the shares and demand payment of that estimate plus interest (less any payment under § 13.1-737). A shareholder offered payment under §
13.1-738 who is dissatisfied with that offer must reject the offer and demand payment of the shareholders estimate of the fair value of the shares plus interest.
B. A shareholder who fails to notify the corporation in writing of that shareholders demand to be paid the shareholders stated estimate of the fair value plus interest under subsection A
within 30 days after receiving the corporations payment or offer of payment under § 13.1-737 or 13.1-738, respectively, waives the right to demand payment under this section and shall be entitled only to the payment made or offered
pursuant to those respective sections.
§ 13.1-740. Court action.
A. If a shareholder makes a demand for payment under § 13.1-739 that remains unsettled, the corporation shall commence a proceeding within 60 days after receiving the payment demand and petition the
court to determine the fair value of the shares and accrued interest. If the corporation does not commence the proceeding within the 60-day period, it shall pay in cash to each shareholder the amount the shareholder demanded pursuant to §
13.1-737 plus interest.
B. The corporation shall commence the proceeding in the circuit court of the city or county where the
corporations principal office, or, if none in the Commonwealth, where its registered office, is located. If the corporation is a foreign corporation without a registered office in the Commonwealth, it shall commence the proceeding in the
circuit court of the city or county in the Commonwealth where the principal office, or, if none in the Commonwealth, where the registered office of the domestic corporation merged with the foreign corporation was located at the time the transaction
became effective.
C. The corporation shall make all shareholders, whether or not residents of the Commonwealth, whose demands remain
unsettled parties to the proceeding as in an action against their shares, and all parties shall be served with a copy of the petition. Nonresidents may be served by registered or certified mail or by publication as provided by law.
D. The corporation may join as a party to the proceeding any shareholder who claims to have demanded an appraisal but who has not, in the opinion of the
corporation, complied with the provisions of this article. If the court determines that a shareholder has not complied with the provisions of this article, that shareholder shall be dismissed as a party.
C-7
E. The jurisdiction of the court in which the proceeding is commenced under subsection B is plenary and
exclusive. The court may appoint one or more persons as appraisers to receive evidence and recommend a decision on the question of fair value. The appraisers shall have the powers described in the order appointing them, or in any amendment to it.
The shareholders demanding appraisal are entitled to the same discovery rights as parties in other civil proceedings. There shall be no right to a jury trial.
F. Each shareholder made a party to the proceeding is entitled to judgment (i) for the amount, if any, by which the court finds the fair value of the shareholders shares plus interest exceeds
the amount paid by the corporation to the shareholder for such shares or (ii) for the fair value plus interest of the shareholders shares for which the corporation elected to withhold payment under § 13.1-738.
§ 13.1-741. Court costs and counsel fees.
A. The court in an appraisal proceeding commenced under § 13.1-740 shall determine all costs of the proceeding, including the reasonable compensation and expenses of appraisers appointed by the
court. The court shall assess the costs against the corporation, except that the court may assess costs against all or some of the shareholders demanding appraisal, in amounts the court finds equitable, to the extent the court finds such
shareholders acted arbitrarily, vexatiously or not in good faith with respect to the rights provided by this article.
B. The court in an
appraisal proceeding may also assess the fees and expenses of counsel and experts for the respective parties, in amounts the court finds equitable:
1. Against the corporation and in favor of any or all shareholders demanding appraisal if the court finds the corporation did not substantially comply with the requirements of § 13.1-732, 13.1-734,
13.1-737 or 13.1-738; or
2. Against either the corporation or a shareholder demanding appraisal, in favor of any other party, if the court
finds that the party against whom the fees and expenses are assessed acted arbitrarily, vexatiously or not in good faith with respect to the rights provided by this article.
C. If the court in an appraisal proceeding finds that the services of counsel for any shareholder were of substantial benefit to other shareholders similarly situated, and that the fees for those services
should not be assessed against the corporation, the court may award to such counsel reasonable fees to be paid out of the amounts awarded the shareholders who were benefited.
D. To the extent the corporation fails to make a required payment pursuant to § 13.1-737, 13.1-738 or 13.1-739, the shareholder may sue directly for the amount owed and, to the extent successful,
shall be entitled to recover from the corporation all costs and expenses of the suit, including counsel fees.
§ 13.1-741.1.
Limitations on other remedies for fundamental transactions.
A. Except for action taken before the Commission pursuant to § 13.1-614
or as provided in subsection B, the legality of a proposed or completed corporate action described in subsection A of § 13.1-730 may not be contested, nor may the corporate action be enjoined, set aside or rescinded, in a legal or equitable
proceeding by a shareholder after the shareholders have approved the corporate action.
B. Subsection A does not apply to a corporate action
that:
1. Was not authorized and approved in accordance with the applicable provisions of:
a. Article 11 (§ 13.1-705 et seq.), Article 12 (§ 13.1-715.1 et seq.), or Article 13 (§ 13.1-723 et seq.);
b. The articles of incorporation or bylaws; or
c. The resolutions of the board of directors authorizing the corporate action;
C-8
2. Was procured as a result of fraud, a material misrepresentation, or an omission of a material fact
necessary to make statements made, in light of the circumstances in which they were made, not misleading;
3. Is an interested transaction,
unless it has been authorized, approved or ratified by the board of directors in the same manner as is provided in subsection B of § 13.1-691 and has been authorized, approved or ratified by the shareholders in the same manner as is provided in
subsection C of § 13.1-691 as if the interested transaction were a directors conflict of interests transaction; or
4. Is adopted
or taken by less than unanimous consent of the voting shareholders pursuant to § 13.1-657 if:
a. The challenge to the corporate action is
brought by a shareholder who did not consent and as to whom notice of the adoption or taking of the corporate action was not effective at least 10 days before the corporate action was effected; and
b. The proceeding challenging the corporate action is commenced within 10 days after notice of the adoption or taking of the corporate action is
effective as to the shareholder bringing the proceeding.
C. Any remedial action with respect to corporate action described in subsection A of
§ 13.1-730 shall not limit the scope of, or be inconsistent with, any provision of § 13.1-614.

INFORMATION NOT REQUIRED IN PROSPECTUS
Item 20.

Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
|
Section 31D-8-850 of the WVBCA provides in part that each West Virginia corporation has the power to indemnify any director against liability incurred in a proceeding against him by reason of being
or having been such director (other than in an action by or in the right of the corporation) if he acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, or, in the case of any
criminal proceeding, he had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful. With respect to an action by or in the right of the corporation, except for reasonable expenses incurred in the proceeding as to which he meets the foregoing
standard of conduct, a director may not be indemnified. A director also may not be indemnified unless ordered by a court if he is adjudged liable on the basis that he received a financial benefit to which he was not entitled. A West Virginia
corporation may make any other or further indemnity to any such persons that may be authorized by the corporations articles of incorporation.
A corporation must indemnify a director who was wholly successful on the merits in the proceeding against reasonable expenses of the proceeding. A corporation may advance expenses incurred by a director
in such a proceeding if he affirms he has met the standard of conduct and agrees to return the advanced expenses if it is determined he has not met this standard.
The City Holding Articles provide that City Holding shall indemnify any current or former officer or director of City Holding or a person serving as an officer or director of another corporation at City
Holdings request against costs and expenses incurred by him in connection with a claim or proceeding against him by reason of his being or having been an officer or director, unless the claim or proceeding relates to matters as to which the
officer or director has been adjudged to be liable for gross negligence or willful misconduct in the performance of his duty to the corporation. To the extent that the board of directors of City Holding determines that a settlement is in City
Holdings best interests, City Holding shall reimburse the officer or director for any amounts paid in effecting the settlement and for reasonable expenses associated therewith.
§31D-8-851. Permissible indemnification.
(a) Except as otherwise
provided in this section, a corporation may indemnify an individual who is a party to a proceeding because he or she is a director against liability incurred in the proceeding if:
(1) (A) He or she conducted himself or herself in good faith; and
(B) He or she reasonably believed: (i) In the case of conduct in his or her official capacity, that his or her
conduct was in the best interests of the corporation; and (ii) in all other cases, that his or her conduct was at least not opposed to the best interests of the corporation; and
(C) In the case of any criminal proceeding, he or she had no reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was unlawful;
or
(2) He or she engaged in conduct for which broader indemnification has been made permissible or obligatory
under a provision of the articles of incorporation as authorized by subdivision (5), subsection (b), section two hundred two, article two of this chapter.
(b) A directors conduct with respect to an employee benefit plan for a purpose he or she reasonably believed to be in the interests of the participants in, and the beneficiaries of, the plan is
conduct that satisfies the requirement of subparagraph (ii), paragraph (B), subdivision (1), subsection (a) of this section.
(c) The termination of a proceeding by judgment, order, settlement or conviction, or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent, is not determinative that the director did not meet the relevant
standard of conduct described in this section.
II-1
(d) Unless ordered by a court under subdivision (3), subsection (a), section eight hundred
fifty-four of this article, a corporation may not indemnify a director:
(1) In connection with a proceeding by
or in the right of the corporation, except for reasonable expenses incurred in connection with the proceeding if it is determined that the director has met the relevant standard of conduct under subsection (a) of this section; or
(2) In connection with any proceeding with respect to conduct for which he or she was adjudged liable on the basis that he
or she received a financial benefit to which he or she was not entitled, whether or not involving action in his or her official capacity.
§31D-8-852. Mandatory Indemnification.
A corporation must indemnify a director who was wholly successful, on the merits or otherwise, in the defense of any proceeding to which he or she was a party because he or she was a director of the
corporation against reasonable expenses incurred by him or her in connection with the proceeding.
§31D-8-853. Advance for expenses.
(a) A corporation may, before final disposition of a proceeding, advance funds to pay for or reimburse the reasonable
expenses incurred by a director who is a party to a proceeding because he or she is a director if he or she delivers to the corporation:
(1) A written affirmation of his or her good faith belief that he or she has met the relevant standard of conduct described in section eight hundred fifty-one of this article or that the proceeding
involves conduct for which liability has been eliminated under a provision of the articles of incorporation as authorized by subdivision (4), subsection (b), section two hundred two, article two of this chapter; and
(2) His or her written undertaking to repay any funds advanced if he or she is not entitled to mandatory indemnification
under section eight hundred fifty-two of this article and it is ultimately determined under section eight hundred fifty-four or eight hundred fifty-five of this article that he or she has not met the relevant standard of conduct described in section
eight hundred fifty-one of this article.
(b) The undertaking required by subdivision (2), subsection (a) of this section
must be an unlimited general obligation of the director but need not be secured and may be accepted without reference to the financial ability of the director to make repayment.
(c) Authorizations under this section are to be made:
(1) By the board of directors:
(A) If there are two or more disinterested directors, by a majority vote of all the disinterested directors, a majority of whom constitute a quorum for this purpose, or by a majority of the members of a
committee of two or more disinterested directors appointed by a vote; or
(B) If there are fewer than two
disinterested directors, by the vote necessary for action by the board in accordance with subsection (c), section eight hundred twenty-four of this article in which authorization directors who do not qualify as disinterested directors may
participate; or
(2) By the shareholders, but shares owned by or voted under the control of a director who at
the time does not qualify as a disinterested director may not be voted on the authorization; or
(3) By special
legal counsel selected in a manner in accordance with subdivision (2), subsection (b), section eight hundred fifty-five of this article.
II-2
§31D-8-854. Circuit court-ordered indemnification and advance for expenses.
(a) A director who is a party to a proceeding because he or she is a director may apply for indemnification or an advance for expenses to
the circuit court conducting the proceeding or to another circuit court of competent jurisdiction. After receipt of an application and after giving any notice it considers necessary, the circuit court shall:
(1) Order indemnification if the circuit court determines that the director is entitled to mandatory indemnification under
section eight hundred fifty-two of this article;
(2) Order indemnification or advance for expenses if the
circuit court determines that the director is entitled to indemnification or advance for expenses pursuant to a provision authorized by subsection (a), section eight hundred fifty-eight of this article; or
(3) Order indemnification or advance for expenses if the circuit court determines, in view of all the relevant
circumstances, that it is fair and reasonable:
(A) To indemnify the director; or
(B) To advance expenses to the director, even if he or she has not met the relevant standard of conduct set forth in
subsection (a), section eight hundred fifty-one of this article, failed to comply with section eight hundred fifty-three of this article or was adjudged liable in a proceeding referred to in subdivision (1) or (2), subsection (d), section eight
hundred fifty-one of this article, but if he or she was adjudged so liable his or her indemnification is to be limited to reasonable expenses incurred in connection with the proceeding.
(b) If the circuit court determines that the director is entitled to indemnification under subdivision (1), subsection (a) of this
section or to indemnification or advance for expenses under subdivision (2) of said subsection, it shall also order the corporation to pay the directors reasonable expenses incurred in connection with obtaining circuit court-ordered
indemnification or advance for expenses. If the circuit court determines that the director is entitled to indemnification or advance for expenses under subdivision (3) of said subsection, it may also order the corporation to pay the
directors reasonable expenses to obtain circuit court-ordered indemnification or advance for expenses.
§31D-8-855.
Determination and authorization of indemnification.
(a) A corporation may not indemnify a director under section eight
hundred fifty-one of this article unless authorized for a specific proceeding after a determination has been made that indemnification of the director is permissible because he or she has met the relevant standard of conduct set forth in section
eight hundred fifty-one of this article.
(b) The determination is to be made:
(1) If there are two or more disinterested directors, by the board of directors by a majority vote of all the
disinterested directors, a majority of whom constitute a quorum for this purpose, or by a majority of the members of a committee of two or more disinterested directors appointed by a vote;
(2) By special legal counsel:
(A) Selected in the manner prescribed in subdivision (1) of this subsection; or
(B) If there are fewer than two disinterested directors, selected by the board of directors in which selection directors who do not qualify as disinterested directors may participate; or
(3) By the shareholders, but shares owned by or voted under the control of a director who at the time does not qualify as
a disinterested director may not be voted on the determination.
II-3
(c) Authorization of indemnification is to be made in the same manner as the determination
that indemnification is permissible, except that if there are fewer than two disinterested directors or if the determination is made by special legal counsel, authorization of indemnification is to be made by those entitled under paragraph (B),
subdivision (2), subsection (b) of this section to select special legal counsel.
§31D-8-856. Indemnification of officers.
(a) A corporation may indemnify and advance expenses under this part to an officer of the corporation who is a party to a
proceeding because he or she is an officer of the corporation:
(1) To the same extent as a director; and
(2) If he or she is an officer but not a director, to a further extent as may be provided by the articles of
incorporation, the bylaws, a resolution of the board of directors or contract except for:
(A) Liability in
connection with a proceeding by or in the right of the corporation other than for reasonable expenses incurred in connection with the proceeding; or
(B) Liability arising out of conduct that constitutes:
(i)
Receipt by him or her of a financial benefit to which he or she is not entitled;
(ii) An intentional
infliction of harm on the corporation or the shareholders; or
(iii) An intentional violation of criminal law.
(b) The provisions of subdivision (2), subsection (a) of this section apply to an officer who is also a director if the
basis on which he or she is made a party to the proceeding is an act or omission solely as an officer.
(c) An officer of a
corporation who is not a director is entitled to mandatory indemnification under section eight hundred fifty-two of this article and may apply to a court under section eight hundred fifty-four of this article for indemnification or an advance for
expenses in each case to the same extent to which a director may be entitled to indemnification or advance for expenses under those provisions.
Certain rules of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation limit the ability of certain depository institutions, their subsidiaries and their affiliated depository institution holding companies to
indemnify affiliated parties, including institution directors. In general, subject to the ability to purchase directors and officers liability insurance and to advance professional expenses under certain circumstances, the rules prohibit
such institutions from indemnifying a director for certain costs incurred with regard to an administrative or enforcement action commenced by any federal banking agency that results in a final order or settlement pursuant to which the director is
assessed a civil money penalty, removed from office, prohibited from participating in the affairs of an insured depository institution or required to cease and desist from or take an affirmative action described in Section 8(b) of the Federal
Deposit Insurance Act (12 U.S.C. § 1818(b)).

(c) Opinion
The opinion of Scott & Stringfellow to the board of directors of Virginia Savings Bancorp, Inc. is included in
Annex B to the proxy statement/prospectus.
1. The
undersigned registrant hereby undertakes as follows: that prior to any public reoffering of the securities registered hereunder through use of a prospectus which is a part of this registration statement, by any person or party who is deemed to be an
underwriter within the meaning of Rule 145(c), the issuer undertakes that such reoffering prospectus will contain the information called for by the applicable registration form with respect to reofferings by persons who may be deemed underwriters in
addition to the information called for by the other items of the applicable form.
2. The registrant undertakes that every
prospectus (i) that is filed pursuant to paragraph (1) immediately preceding, or (ii) that purports to meet the requirements of Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933 and is used in connection with an offering of
securities subject to Rule 415, will be filed as a part of an amendment to the registration statement and will not be used until such amendment is effective, and that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each
such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
3. Insofar as indemnification for liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling
persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities
Act of 1933 and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the
registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the
matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and will be governed by the final
adjudication of such issue.
4. The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes to respond to requests for information that is
incorporated by reference into the prospectus pursuant to Items 4, 10(b), 11 or 13 of this form, within one business day of receipt of such request, and to send the incorporated documents by first class mail or other equally prompt means. This
includes information contained in documents filed subsequent to the effective date of the registration statement through the date of responding to the request.
5. The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes to supply by means of a post-effective amendment all information concerning a transaction, and the company being acquired involved therein, that was not the
subject of and included in the registration when it became effective.
6. The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:
a. To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this
registration statement;
(i) To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act
of 1933;
II-8
(ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the
effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration statement. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range
may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than a 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the
Calculation of Registration Fee table in the effective registration statement; and
(iii) To
include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such information in the registration statement;
b. That for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment
shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
c. To remove from registration by means of post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain
unsold at the termination of the offering.
7. The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining
any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the registrants annual report pursuant to section 13(a) or section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit
plans annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) that is incorporated by reference in the registration statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered
therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
8.
The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes to deliver or cause to be delivered with the prospectus, to each person to whom the prospectus is sent or given, the latest annual report to security holders that is incorporated by reference in the
prospectus and furnished pursuant to and meeting the requirements of Rule 14a-3 or Rule 14c-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934; and, where interim financial information required to be presented by Article 3 of Regulation S-X are not set
forth in the prospectus, to deliver, or cause to be delivered to each person to whom the prospectus is sent or given, the latest quarterly report that is specifically incorporated by reference in the prospectus to provide such interim financial
information.
