Risk Change Over Time
- Debt & Financing - Risk 1The Company will be required to transition from the use of the London Inter Offered Rate ("LIBOR") index in the future.
The Company has certain variable-rate loans indexed to LIBOR to calculate the loan interest rate. The United Kingdom Financial Conduct Authority, which regulates LIBOR, has previously announced that the continued availability of the LIBOR on the current basis is not guaranteed after 2021. In November 2020, the administrator of LIBOR announced it will consult on its intention to extend the retirement date of certain offered rates whereby the publication of the one week and two month LIBOR offered rates will cease after December 31, 2021; but, the publication of the remaining LIBOR offered rates will continue until June 30, 2023. Regulators, industry groups, and certain committees (e.g., the Alternative Reference Rates Committee) have, among other things, published recommended fall-back language for LIBOR-linked financial instruments, identified recommended alternatives for certain LIBOR rates (e.g., SOFR, as the recommended alternative to U.S. Dollar LIBOR), and proposed implementations of the recommended alternatives in floating rate instruments. The Adjustable Interest Rate (LIBOR) Act (the "LIBOR Act"), enacted in March 2022, provides a statutory framework to replace LIBOR with a benchmark rate based on SOFR for contracts governed by U.S. law that have no or ineffective fallbacks. Although governmental authorities have endeavored to facilitate an orderly discontinuation of LIBOR, no assurance can be provided that this aim will be achieved or that the use, level, and volatility of LIBOR or other interest rates or the value of LIBOR-based securities will not be adversely affected. For example, SOFR is a relatively new reference rate, has a very limited history, and differs fundamentally from U.S. Dollar LIBOR. SOFR is a broad U.S. Treasury repo financing rate that represents overnight secured funding transactions, whereas U.S. Dollar LIBOR is an unsecured rate that represents interbank funding over different maturities. As a result, there can be no assurance that SOFR will perform in the same way as U.S. Dollar LIBOR would have done at any time, and there is no guarantee that it is a comparable substitute for U.S. Dollar LIBOR. The transition to alternative reference rate for new contracts, or the implementation of a substitute index or indices for the calculation of interest rates under the Company's existing loan agreements with borrowers or other financial arrangements, could change the Company's market risk profile, interest margin, interest spread and pricing models, may cause the Company to incur significant expenses in effecting the transition, may result in reduced loan balances if borrowers do not accept a substitute index or indices, and may result in disputes or litigation with customers or other counter-parties over the appropriateness or comparability to LIBOR of the substitute index or indices, any of which could have a material adverse effect on the Company's results of operations.

Risk Factors Full Breakdown - Total Risks 25
- Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 1There is a limited trading market for our common shares, and you may not be able to resell your shares at or above the price you paid for them.
Although our common shares are listed for trading on the Nasdaq Capital Market, the trading volume in our common shares may be lower than other larger financial institutions or publicly traded companies. A public trading market having the desired characteristics of depth, liquidity and orderliness depends on the presence in the market of willing buyers and sellers of our common shares at any given time. This presence depends on the individual decisions of investors and general economic and market conditions over which we have no control. We cannot assure you that volume of trading in our common shares will increase in the future.
- Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 2The market price of our common stock may be volatile, and we may not be able to meet investor or analyst expectations. You may not be able to resell your shares at or above the price you paid and may lose part or all of your investment as a result.
Our stock price can fluctuate widely. On February 10, 2025, the Company completed a public offering increasing its common shares outstanding by 1,796,875 shares, or 50.2%, at a price of $32.00. Volatility in the market price of our common stock may negatively impact the price at which our common stock may be sold and may also negatively impact the timing of any sale. The market price of our common stock may continue to fluctuate widely in response to a variety of factors including the risk factors described herein and, among other things: - actual or anticipated variations in quarterly or annual operating results, financial conditions, or credit quality;- changes in business or economic conditions;- changes in accounting standards, policies, guidance, interpretations, or principles;- prevailing interest rates;- changes in recommendations or research reports about us or the financial services industry in general published by securities analysts;- the failure of securities analysts to cover, or to continue to cover, us;- changes in financial estimates or publication of research reports and recommendations by financial analysts or actions taken by rating agencies with respect to us or other financial institutions;- news reports relating to trends, concerns, and other issues in the financial services industry;- reports related to the impact of natural or man-made disasters in our market;- perceptions in the marketplace regarding us and our competitors;- sudden increases in the demand for our common stock, including as a result of any "short squeezes";- significant acquisitions or business combinations, strategic partnerships, joint ventures, or capital commitments by or involving us or our competitors;- additional investments from third parties;- additions or departures of key personnel;- future sales or issuance of additional shares of our common stock;- fluctuations in the market price of our competitors' common stock and the operating results of our competitors;- changes or proposed changes in laws or regulations, or differing interpretations thereof, affecting our business, or enforcement of these laws or regulations;- new technology used, or services offered, by competitors;- additional investments from third parties; or - geopolitical conditions such as acts or threats of terrorism, pandemics, or military conflicts. In particular, the realization of any of the risks described in this section under Item IA. Risk Factors, could have an adverse effect on the market price of our common stock and cause the value of your investment to decline. In addition, the stock market in general has experienced extreme volatility that has often been unrelated to the operating performance of particular companies. These broad market fluctuations may adversely affect the market price of our common stock over the short, medium or long term, regardless of our actual performance.
- Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 3If securities or industry analysts do not publish research or publish inaccurate or unfavorable research about our business, or change their recommendations regarding our common stock or if our operating results do not meet their expectations, the market price of our common stock and trading volume could decline.
The trading market for our common stock depends in part on the research and reports that securities or industry analysts publish about us or our business. If one or more of the analysts who covers us downgrades common stock or publishes inaccurate or unfavorable research about our business, or our operating results do not meet their expectations, either absolutely or relative to our competitors, the market price of our common stock would likely decline. If one or more of these analysts cease coverage of us or fail to publish reports about us regularly, (1) we would lose visibility in the financial markets, which in turn could cause the market price of our common stock or trading volume to decline and (2) demand for our common stock could decrease, which could cause the market price of our common stock and trading volume to decline. If we fail to meet the expectation of analysts for our operating results, the market price of our common stock would likely decline.
- Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 4Virginia law and the provisions of the Company's articles of incorporation and amended and restated bylaws may have an anti-takeover effect, and there are substantial regulatory limitations on changes of control of bank holding companies.
Certain provisions of the Company's articles of incorporation and amended and restated bylaws, as well as Virginia law, and the Bank Holding Company Act, and Change in Bank Control Act, could delay or prevent a change of control that you may favor. The Company's articles of incorporation and amended and restated bylaws include certain provisions that could delay a takeover or change in control of the Company, including: a staggered board of directors, the exclusive right of the Company's board to fill any director vacancy; and advance notice requirements for shareholder proposals and director nominations. Virginia law contains two antitakeover statutes: the Affiliated Transactions Statute and the Control Share Acquisitions Statute, each of which could make it more difficult for another party to acquire the Company without the approval of the Company's board of directors. These provisions are expected to discourage specific types of coercive takeover practices and inadequate takeover bids as well as to encourage persons seeking to acquire control to first negotiate with the Company. Although these provisions may have the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing a change in control, the Company believes that the benefits of increased protection through the potential ability to negotiate with the proponent of an unfriendly or unsolicited proposal to acquire or restructure the Company outweigh the disadvantages of discouraging these proposals because, among other things, negotiation of such proposals could result in an improvement of their terms.
