PROXY STATEMENT

GENERAL INFORMATION

We are providing this proxy statement to you in connection with the solicitation of proxies by the Board of Directors of Cordia Bancorp Inc. for the 2014 annual meeting of shareholders and for any adjournment or postponement of the meeting. In this proxy statement, we may also refer to Cordia Bancorp Inc. as “Cordia,” “we,” “our” or “us.”

We are holding the 2014 annual meeting of shareholders at the Hampton Inn, 3620 Price Club Boulevard, Midlothian, Virginia, on Wednesday, June 25, 2014 at 12:00 noon, local time.

We intend to mail this proxy statement and the enclosed proxy card to shareholders of record beginning on or about May 13, 2014.

INFORMATION ABOUT VOTING

Who Can Vote at the Meeting

You are entitled to vote your shares of Cordia Bancorp Inc. common stock that you owned as of May 7, 2014. As of the close of business on May 7, 2014, Cordia Bancorp Inc. had 2,788,302 shares of common stock outstanding. Each share of common stock has one vote.

Ownership of Shares; Attending the Meeting

You may own shares of Cordia Bancorp Inc. in one or more of the following ways:

· Directly in your name as the shareholder of record; or

· Indirectly through a broker, bank or other holder of record in “street name.”

If your shares are registered directly in your name, you are the holder of record of these shares and we are sending these proxy materials directly to you. As the holder of record, you have the right to give your proxy directly to us or to vote in person at the meeting. You must bring photo identification to be admitted to the meeting.

If you hold your shares in street name, your broker, bank or other holder of record is sending these proxy materials to you. As the beneficial owner, you have the right to direct your broker, bank or other holder of record how to vote by filling out a voting instruction form that accompanies your proxy materials. Your broker, bank or other holder of record may allow you to provide voting instructions by telephone or by the Internet. Please see the instruction form provided by your broker, bank or other holder of record that accompanies this proxy statement. If you hold your shares in street name, you will need photo identification and proof of ownership to be admitted to the meeting. A recent brokerage statement or a letter from a bank or broker are examples of proof of ownership. If you want to vote your shares of Cordia Bancorp Inc. common stock held in street name in person at the meeting, you must obtain a written proxy in your name from the broker, bank or other nominee who is the record holder of your shares.

Voting

Quorum. We will have a quorum and will be able to conduct the business of the annual meeting if the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of common stock entitled to vote are present at the meeting, either in person or by proxy. If you return valid proxy instructions or attend the meeting in person, we will count your shares to determine whether there is quorum, even if you abstain from voting.

Broker Voting. Under New York Stock Exchange Rules, the proposal to approve the appointment of independent auditors is considered a “discretionary” item. This means that brokerage firms may vote in their discretion on this matter on behalf of clients who have not furnished voting instructions at least 10 days before the date of the meeting. In contrast, the election of directors, the advisory vote on executive compensation, the advisory vote on the frequency of the advisory vote on executive compensation, the amendment of the 2011 Stock Incentive Plan, the issuance of shares of common stock and nonvoting common stock upon conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock, and the amendment of the Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation are “non-discretionary” items. This means brokerage firms that have not received voting instructions from their clients on these proposals may not vote on them. These so-called “broker non-votes” will be included in the calculation of the number of votes considered to be present at the meeting for purposes of determining a quorum, but will not be considered votes cast and will have no effect on the outcome of the vote for directors, the advisory vote on executive compensation, the frequency of the advisory vote on executive compensation, the amendment of the 2011 Stock Incentive Plan, the issuance of shares of common stock and nonvoting common stock upon conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock, and the approval of the Second Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation.

Voting by Proxy

Cordia’s Board of Directors is sending you this proxy statement to request that you allow your shares of Cordia common stock to be represented at the annual meeting by the persons named in the enclosed proxy card. All shares of Cordia common stock represented at the meeting by properly executed and dated proxies will be voted according to the instructions indicated on the proxy card. If you sign and return your proxy but do not specify how you want your shares voted, they will be voted FOR the election of all nominees for director, FOR the ratification of the appointment of the independent registered public accountants, FOR the advisory vote on executive compensation, THREE YEARS on the resolution relating to the frequency of advisory votes on executive compensation, FOR the amendment of the 2011 Stock Incentive Plan, FOR the issuance of shares of common stock and nonvoting common stock upon conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock, and FOR the approval of the Second Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation. Each of Cordia’s directors and executive officers has delivered a voting agreement to Cordia agreeing to vote all of his shares of common stock in favor of the proposal approving the issuance of shares of common stock and nonvoting common stock upon conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock.

If any matters not described in this proxy statement are properly presented at the annual meeting, the persons named in the proxy card will use their judgment to determine how to vote your shares. If the annual meeting is postponed or adjourned, your shares of Cordia common stock may be voted by the persons named in the proxy card on the new meeting date, provided you have not revoked your proxy. Cordia does not currently know of any other matters to be presented at the meeting.

2

You may revoke your proxy at any time before the vote is taken at the meeting. To revoke your proxy, you must either advise the Corporate Secretary of Cordia in writing before your shares have been voted at the annual meeting, deliver a later-dated and properly executed proxy, or attend the meeting and vote your shares in person. Attendance at the annual meeting will not in itself constitute revocation of your proxy.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE

Director Independence

Eight of our ten directors are independent under the current listing standards of the Nasdaq Stock Market. The only directors who are not independent under such standards are Jack Zoeller, who is employed as President and Chief Executive Officer of Cordia, and David Bushnell, who previously served as interim Chief Financial Officer of Cordia. In determining the independence of directors, the Board of Directors considered the various deposit, loan and other relationships that each director has with Bank of Virginia (“BOVA”), including loans and lines of credit, and determined in each case that these relationships did not interfere with their exercise of independent judgment in carrying out their responsibilities as a director.

Board Leadership Structure and Board’s Role in Risk Oversight

Cordia currently has a Chairman who is independent from the Chief Executive Officer. The Chairman leads the Board and presides at all Board meetings. Having an independent Chairman enables non-management directors to raise issues and concerns for Board consideration without immediately involving management. The Chairman also serves as a liaison between the Board and senior management.

To further strengthen the regular oversight of the full Board, various committees of Cordia’s Board of Directors are comprised of independent directors. The Compensation Committee of the Board of Cordia Bancorp Inc. consists solely of independent directors. The Compensation Committee reviews and evaluates the performance of all executive officers of Cordia, including the Chief Executive Officer and reports to the Board of Directors. In addition, the Audit Committee, which is comprised solely of independent directors, oversees Cordia’s financial practices, regulatory compliance, accounting procedures and financial reporting functions. The Nominating and Governance Committee also consists solely of independent directors and assists the Board in identifying qualified individuals to serve on the Board, determining the composition of the Board and its committees, and monitoring corporate governance matters. The chairmen of these and other Board committees also serve as liaisons between the Board and senior management.

Risk is inherent with every business, and how well a business manages risk can ultimately determine its success. We face a number of risks, including credit risk, interest rate risk, liquidity risk, operational risk, strategic risk and reputational risk. Management is responsible for the day-to-day management of risks Cordia faces, while the Board, as a whole and through its committees, has responsibility for the oversight of risk management. In its risk oversight role, the Board of Directors has the responsibility to satisfy itself that the risk management processes designed and implemented by management are adequate and functioning as designed.

Committees of the Board of Directors

The following table identifies our standing committees and their members. All members of the Audit Committee, Compensation Committee and Nominating and Governance Committee are independent in accordance with the listing requirements of the Nasdaq Stock Market, Inc. The Audit Committee, Compensation Committee and Nominating and Governance Committee each operate under a written charter that is approved by the Board of Directors and that governs its composition, responsibilities and operation. Each committee is required to review and reassess the adequacy of its charter at least annually. The charters of all three committees are available in the Investor Relations section of our web site (http://www.bankofva.com).

Audit Committee. The Audit Committee, established in accordance with section 3(a)(58)(A) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, assists the Board of Directors in fulfilling its oversight responsibility to the shareholders relating to the integrity of Cordia’s financial statements, Cordia’s compliance with legal and regulatory requirements and the qualifications, independence and the performance of the internal audit function. The Audit Committee is directly responsible for the appointment, compensation, retention and oversight of the work of the independent accountants engaged for the purpose of preparing or issuing an audit report or performing other audit, review or attestation services for Cordia. The Board of Directors has adopted a written charter for the Audit Committee.

The members of the Audit Committee are Messrs. Garrett, Smith, Gordon, Wright and Zlatin, all of whom the Board in its business judgment has determined are independent as defined by Nasdaq’s listing standards and Securities and Exchange Commission regulations. The Board of Directors also has determined that all of the members of the Audit Committee have sufficient knowledge in financial and auditing matters to serve on the Audit Committee and that Mr. Smith qualifies and is designated as an audit committee financial expert as defined by SEC regulations and the Sarbanes Oxley Act of 2002, while Mr. Garrett holds the responsibility of Audit Committee Chairman.

Compensation Committee. The Compensation Committee approves the compensation objectives for Cordia, establishes the compensation for Cordia’s executive officers and conducts the performance review of the Chief Executive Officer. The Chief Executive Officer recommends compensation changes for members of management other than himself to the Committee which, in turn, approves or amends the recommendations and then presents their recommendations to the full Board for approval. All decisions by the Compensation Committee relating to the compensation of Cordia’s executive officers are reported to and approved by the full Board of Directors. The Compensation Committee utilized a compensation consultant during 2013 to analyze peer data and alternative pay structures for the Chief Executive Officer.

4

Nominating and Governance Committee. The Nominating and Governance Committee assists the Board of Directors in: (1) identifying individuals qualified to become Board members, consistent with criteria approved by the Board; (2) recommending to the Board the director nominees for the next annual meeting; (3) implementing policies and practices relating to corporate governance, including implementation of and monitoring adherence to corporate governance guidelines; (4) leading the Board in its annual review of the Board’s performance; and (5) recommending director nominees for each committee.

Nominating Process. In identifying potential nominees, the Nominating and Governance Committee takes into account such factors as it deems appropriate, including the current size and composition of the Board, the range of talents, experiences and skills that would best complement those that are already represented on the Board, and the need for specialized expertise, and the potential to contribute to the Company’s development and execution of its strategy. The Committee considers candidates for Board membership suggested by its members and management. The Board will also consider candidates suggested informally by a shareholder of Cordia.

The Committee considers, at a minimum, the following factors in recommending potential new directors, or the continued service of existing directors:

· The ability of the prospective nominee to represent the interests of the shareholders of Cordia;

· The prospective nominee’s standards of integrity, commitment and independence of thought and judgment;

· The prospective nominee’s ability to dedicate sufficient time, energy and attention to the diligent performance of his or her duties, including the prospective nominee’s service on other public company boards;

· The extent to which the prospective nominee contributes to the range of talent, skill and expertise appropriate for the Board of Directors; and

· The prospective nominee’s involvement within the communities Cordia serves or anticipates serving.

Shareholders entitled to vote for the election of directors may submit candidates for formal consideration by the Board of Directors in connection with an annual meeting if the Board of Directors receives timely written notice, in proper form, for each such recommended director nominee. If the notice is not timely and in proper form, the nominee will not be considered. To be timely for the 2015 annual meeting, the notice must be received within the time frame set forth in the section of this proxy statement entitled “Submission of Business Proposals and Shareholder Nominations.” To be in proper form, the notice must include each nominee’s written consent to be named as a nominee and to serve, if elected, and information about the shareholder making the nomination and the person nominated for election. These requirements are more fully described in Cordia’s Bylaws, a copy of which will be provided, without charge, to any shareholder upon written request to the Corporate Secretary of Cordia, whose address is Cordia Bancorp Inc., 11730 Hull Street Road, P.O. Box 5658, Midlothian, Virginia, 23112.

Board and Committee Meetings

The Board of Directors of Cordia met 14 times during 2013. No director attended fewer than 75% of the total meetings of the Board of Directors and the standing committees on which such director served during 2013.

5

Director Attendance at the Annual Meeting of Shareholders

The Board of Directors encourages each director to attend Cordia’s annual meeting of shareholders. All of the directors except for one attended the 2013 annual meeting of shareholders.

Code of Ethics

The Board of Directors has approved a Code of Business Conduct and Ethics for directors, officers and employees of Cordia. The Code addresses such topics as confidentiality of information, conflicts of interest, business conduct, extensions of credit to family members, political contributions and political activities, expectations of the employee and employer, compliance with applicable laws and regulations, accuracy and preservation of records and accounting and financial reporting and conflicts of interest. A copy of Cordia’s Code of Ethics will be provided, free of charge, upon written request by sending the request to Cordia Bancorp Inc., Attn: Chief Financial Officer, P.O. Box 5658, Midlothian, VA 23112, by e-mail to info@cordiabancorp.com or by visiting Bank of Virginia’s website at http://www.bankofva.com.

AUDIT RELATED MATTERS

Report of the Audit Committee

Cordia’s management is responsible for Cordia’s internal controls and financial reporting process. Cordia’s independent registered public accounting firm is responsible for performing an independent audit of Cordia’s consolidated financial statements and issuing an opinion on the conformity of those financial statements with generally accepted accounting principles. The Audit Committee oversees Cordia’s internal controls and financial reporting process on behalf of the Board of Directors.

In this context, the Audit Committee has met and held discussions with management and the independent registered public accounting firm. Management represented to the Audit Committee that Cordia’s consolidated financial statements were prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and the Audit Committee has reviewed and discussed the consolidated financial statements with management and the independent registered public accounting firm. The Audit Committee discussed with the independent registered public accounting firm matters required by Auditing Standard No. 16, Communications with Audit Committees, as adopted by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board.

In addition, the Audit Committee has received the written disclosures and the letter from the independent registered public accounting firm required by the applicable requirements of the Public Cordia Accounting Oversight Board and has discussed with the independent registered public accounting firm the firm’s independence from Cordia and its management. In concluding that the registered public accounting firm is independent, the Audit Committee considered, among other factors, whether the non-audit services provided by the firm were compatible with its independence.

The Audit Committee discussed with Cordia’s independent registered public accounting firm the overall scope and plans for their audit. The Audit Committee meets with the independent registered public accounting firm, with and without management present, to discuss the results of their examination, their evaluation of Cordia’s internal controls, and the overall quality of Cordia’s financial reporting.

6

In performing all of these functions, the Audit Committee acts only in an oversight capacity. In its oversight role, the Audit Committee relies on the work and assurances of Cordia’s management, which has the primary responsibility for financial statements and reports, and of the independent registered public accounting firm who, in its report, expresses an opinion on the conformity of Cordia’s consolidated financial statements to generally accepted accounting principles. The Audit Committee’s oversight does not provide it with an independent basis to determine that management has maintained appropriate accounting and financial reporting principles or policies, or appropriate internal controls and procedures designed to assure compliance with accounting standards and applicable laws and regulations. Furthermore, the Audit Committee’s considerations and discussions with management and the independent registered public accounting firm do not assure that Cordia’s consolidated financial statements are presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, that the audit of Cordia’s consolidated financial statements has been carried out in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards or that Cordia’s independent registered public accounting firm is “independent.”

In reliance on the reviews and discussions referred to above, the Audit Committee has recommended to the Board of Directors, and the Board has approved, that the audited consolidated financial statements be included in Cordia’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013 for filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Policy on Audit Committee Pre-Approval of Audit and Permissible Non-Audit Services of the Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm.

The Audit Committee is responsible for appointing and reviewing the work of the independent registered public accounting firm and setting the independent registered public accounting firm’s compensation. In accordance with its charter, the Audit Committee shall consider any non-audit services to be performed by the independent registered public accounting firm and shall receive periodic reports from the independent registered accounting firm regarding the independent registered public accounting firm’s independence. This approval process ensures that the independent registered public accounting firm does not provide any non-audit services to Cordia that are prohibited by law or regulation. During the year ended December 31, 2013, all services were approved in advance by the Audit Committee in compliance with these procedures.

The nominees for election to a three-year term are David C. Bushnell, G. Waddy Garrett, Peter W. Grieve and Michael F. Rosinus. The nominees for election to a two-year term are and Thomas L. Gordon, Raymond H. Smith, Jr. and David Zlatin. The nominees for election to a one-year term are Hunter R. Hollar and John P. Wright. All of the nominees are currently directors of Cordia.

TNH Financial Funds, L.P. will have the right to be represented on the Board of Directors of the Company by one director of its choice, subject to reasonable approval of the Board of Directors, for as long as it beneficially owns at least 5.0% of the Company’s outstanding common stock (whether acquired upon conversion of shares of Series A Preferred Stock or otherwise and including, for this purpose, shares of the Company’s nonvoting common stock). Additionally, pursuant to the terms of the Securities Purchase Agreement, the Company also agreed, not later than May 31, 2014, to appoint David Zlatin to the Board of Directors of the Company and/or nominate him for election as a director at the Company’s 2014 annual meeting of stockholders, subject to satisfaction of the legal and governance requirements regarding service as a director of the Company and to the reasonable approval of the Board of Directors.

Unless you indicate on the proxy card that your shares should not be voted for certain nominees, the Board of Directors intends that the proxies solicited by it will be voted for the election of each of the Board’s nominees. If any nominee is unable to serve, the persons named in the proxy card would vote your shares to approve the election of any substitute proposed by the Board of Directors. At this time, we know of no reason why any nominee might be unable to serve.

Directors will be elected by a plurality of the votes cast. Votes that are withheld and broker non-votes will have no effect on the outcome of the election.

The Board of Directors recommends that shareholders vote “FOR” the election of all of the nominees.

Item 2 — Ratification of the Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

The Audit Committee of the Board of Directors has appointed Yount, Hyde & Barbour, P.C. to serve as Cordia’s independent registered public accounting firm for the 2014 fiscal year, subject to ratification by shareholders. A representative of Yount, Hyde & Barbour, P.C. is expected to be present at the annual meeting to respond to appropriate questions from shareholders and will have the opportunity to make a statement should he or she desire to do so.

15

The ratification of the appointment of the independent registered public accounting firm will be approved if the number of votes cast “for” exceeds the number of votes cast “against.” Abstentions and broker non-votes will not be counted as votes cast and, therefore, will have no effect of outcome of the vote.

If the ratification of the appointment of the independent registered public accounting firm is not approved by a majority of the shares cast at the annual meeting, the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors may consider other independent registered public accounting firms.

The Board of Directors recommends that shareholders vote “FOR” the ratification of the appointment of Yount, Hyde & Barbour, P.C. as Cordia’s independent registered public accounting firm for the 2014 fiscal year.

Item 3 — Advisory Vote on Executive Compensation

The Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010 (the “Dodd-Frank Act”) requires, beginning in 2013, that we provide our shareholders with the opportunity to express their views, on a non-binding, advisory basis, on the compensation of our named executive officers as disclosed in this proxy statement. This vote, which is often referred to as the “say-on-pay” vote, provides shareholders with the opportunity to endorse or not endorse the following resolution:

“Resolved, that the shareholders approve the compensation of the named executive officers, as described in the tabular disclosure regarding named executive officer compensation and the accompanying narrative disclosure in this proxy statement.”

Because your vote is advisory, it will not be binding upon the Board of Directors. However, the Compensation Committee will take into account the outcome of the vote when considering future executive compensation arrangements.

The Board of Directors believes that the compensation practices of the Company are appropriately aligned to the long-term success of the Company and the interests of shareholders.

Abstentions and broker non-votes will not be considered votes cast and, therefore, will not be counted in evaluating the results of this vote.

The Board of Directors recommends a vote “FOR” approval of the compensation of the named executive officers.

Item 4 — Advisory Vote on the Frequency of a Shareholder Vote to Approve Executive Compensation

The Dodd-Frank Act requires, among other things, that SEC-reporting companies obtain a non-binding shareholder vote on the frequency of the shareholder votes on executive compensation (at least once every six years) in addition to a non-binding shareholder vote on executive compensation (at least once every three years).

This proposal gives the Company’s shareholders the opportunity to determine whether the frequency of shareholder votes on executive compensation will be every one, two or three years. Shareholders are not being asked to approve or disapprove of the Board’s recommendation, but rather to indicate their own choice as among the frequency options. Shareholders may also abstain from voting on the frequency of shareholder votes on executive compensation.

16

Because your vote is advisory, it will not be binding upon the Board of Directors. However, the Compensation Committee will take into account the outcome of the vote when considering the frequency of shareholder votes on executive compensation.

Abstentions and broker non-votes will not be considered votes cast and, therefore, will not be counted in evaluating the results of this vote.

The Board of Directors recommends a vote for the approval of a shareholder vote to approve the compensation of the named executive officers being conducted “EVERY THREE YEARS.”

Item 5 — Approval of Proposal to Amend the 2011 Stock Incentive Plan

We are seeking shareholder approval to amend the 2011 Stock Incentive Plan to increase the number of shares authorized for issuance by an additional 800,000 shares. In relation to the total of 6,418,173 shares of the Company’s common stock expected to be outstanding (subject to shareholder approval of Proposal 6 below), the proposed additional shares are believed to represent a normal ratio of incentive shares to total shares, based on advice from a community bank compensation expert consulted by the Company.

The Company has never had an equity incentive plan of its own design. Our 2011 Stock Incentive Plan, assumed from Bank of Virginia in 2013, no longer has sufficient available shares to offer a normal range of incentive grants to individuals being recruited, promoted or rewarded for their contributions to the Company. The 2011 Stock Incentive Plan was initially adopted by the Board of Directors of Bank of Virginia and approved by shareholders of Bank of Virginia in May 2011. Cordia assumed the 2011 Stock Incentive Plan in connection with the reorganization of Bank of Virginia as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Cordia in March 2013. At this annual meeting, we will ask shareholders to approve an amendment to the 2011 Stock Incentive Plan to increase by 800,000 the number of shares of common stock that Cordia may issue under the plan. As of March 31, 2014, an aggregate of 89,156 shares of our common stock were subject to options currently outstanding under our existing stock incentive plans and 8,108 shares remained available for future issuance thereunder. If the amendment to the 2011 Stock Incentive Plan is approved, Cordia will have an aggregate of approximately 808,108 shares available for the grant of stock options and stock awards.

The amendment to the 2011 Stock Incentive Plan is to ensure that we have adequate shares to implement our current equity incentive strategy for the next several years. The Board believes that the number of shares proposed represents a reasonable amount of potential equity dilution and expense recognition while still allowing Cordia to continue awarding equity incentives, which is an important part of our overall recruiting and compensation programs. We believe that incentives and stock-based awards focus employees on the objectives of creating shareholder value and promoting Cordia’s success, and that equity compensation plans help to attract, retain and motivate valued employees and directors. The Board believes that an adequate number of shares under an amended 2011 Stock Incentive Plan will promote the interests of Cordia and its shareholders, allow it to compete effectively with other financial institutions and enable Cordia to provide adequate incentives.

The Board approved the amendment to the 2011 Stock Incentive Plan based, in part, on its belief that the aggregate number of shares currently available for new award grants under our existing plans is insufficient to recruit top quality individuals and adequately provide for future incentives.

17

Summary Description of the 2011 Stock Incentive Plan

The following is a summary of the material terms of the 2011 Stock Incentive Plan.

 Awards under the 2011 Stock Incentive Plan. The 2011 Stock Incentive Plan provides for the grant of options to purchase Cordia common stock intended to qualify as incentive stock options (“ISOs”) under Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code, non-statutory stock options, restricted stock, and other stock-based awards.

Eligibility. Employees of Cordia or one of our subsidiaries or affiliates, and non-employee directors, are eligible to be granted awards under the 2011 Stock Incentive Plan. In addition, any person who has been offered employment by us may be granted awards, but such prospective grantee may not receive any payment or exercise any right relating to the award until he or she has commenced employment or the providing of services.

Shares Available under the 2011 Stock Incentive Plan. To the extent that an award under the 2011 Stock Incentive Plan is canceled, expired, forfeited, settled in cash, settled by delivery of fewer shares than the number underlying such award, or otherwise terminated without delivery of shares to the applicable participant, the shares retained by or returned to Cordia will not reduce the number of shares available under the 2011 Stock Incentive Plan. However, shares that are withheld from an award or separately surrendered by a participant in payment of the exercise price or taxes relating to such award will reduce the number of shares available under the 2011 Stock Incentive Plan. Shares delivered under the 2011 Stock Incentive Plan will consist of authorized and unissued shares or treasury shares.

Adjustments. Adjustments to the number and kind of shares subject to the share limitations, as well as to the exercise price, grant price or purchase price relating to any award, are authorized in the event of a large, special and non-recurring dividend or distribution, recapitalization, stock split, stock dividend, reorganization, merger, consolidation, spin-off, business combination or other similar corporate transaction or event affecting our common stock. We are also obligated to adjust outstanding awards upon the occurrence of these types of events to prevent dilution or enlargement of the rights of participants with respect to their awards.

Administration. The 2011 Stock Incentive Plan is administered by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors. Subject to the terms and conditions of the 2011 Stock Incentive Plan, the Compensation Committee is authorized to select participants; determine the type and number of awards to be granted and the number of shares to which awards will relate; specify times at which awards will be exercisable or settled; set other terms and conditions of such awards; waive or amend any terms, conditions, restrictions or limitations on an award; prescribe forms of award agreements; establish and interpret performance goals and business criteria in connection with awards and evaluate the level of performance; interpret and specify rules and regulations relating to the 2011 Stock Incentive Plan and correct defects, supply omissions or reconcile inconsistencies; and make all other determinations which may be necessary or advisable for the administration of the 2011 Stock Incentive Plan. The 2011 Stock Incentive Plan authorizes the Compensation Committee to delegate authority to officers or managers to the extent permitted by applicable law, but such delegation will not authorize grants of awards to executive officers without direct participation by the Compensation Committee. The 2011 Stock Incentive Plan provides that members of the Compensation Committee will not be personally liable, and will be fully indemnified, for any action or determination taken or made in good faith with respect to the 2011 Stock Incentive Plan.

18

Stock Options. The Compensation Committee is authorized to grant stock options, including both ISOs, which can result in potentially favorable tax treatment to a participant, and non-qualified stock options. ISOs may only be granted to employees of Cordia or certain of our subsidiaries or affiliates. ISOs may not be granted to an employee who owns stock constituting more than 10% of the total combined voting power of all the classes of our stock or the stock of one of our subsidiaries or affiliates. The exercise price of an option will be determined by the Compensation Committee, but may not be less than the fair market value of a share on the grant date. The maximum term of each option will be ten years. Subject to this limit, the times at which each option will be exercisable and provisions requiring forfeiture of unexercised options (and, in some cases, gains realized upon an earlier exercise) at or following termination of employment or upon the occurrence of other events generally are fixed by the Compensation Committee. Options may be exercised by payment of the exercise price in cash or its equivalent, or, at the discretion of the Compensation Committee, using shares having a fair market value equal to the exercise price. These exercise methods may include withholding of option shares to pay the exercise price, tendering previously acquired shares and, to the extent permitted by law, delivering notice to Cordia and instructions to a broker to deliver to Cordia proceeds from the sale of shares to be acquired upon exercise.

Restricted Stock. The Compensation Committee is authorized to grant restricted stock and stock units. Prior to the end of the restricted period, shares granted as restricted stock may not be sold, and will be forfeited in the event of a separation from service in specified circumstances. Aside from the risk of forfeiture and non-transferability, an award of restricted stock may entitle the participant to the rights of a shareholder, including the right to vote the shares and to receive dividends, which dividends could be either forfeitable or non-forfeitable. Any of these rights may be limited by the Compensation Committee.

Other Stock-Based Awards and Stock Bonus Awards. The 2011 Stock Incentive Plan authorizes the Compensation Committee to grant awards that may be denominated or payable in, or otherwise related to, our common stock or factors that may influence the value of our common stock. The Compensation Committee will determine the terms and conditions of such awards. In addition, the Compensation Committee is authorized to grant shares of our stock as a bonus, free of restrictions, or to grant such shares or other awards in lieu of obligations under other plans or compensatory arrangements, subject to such terms as the Compensation Committee may specify.

Other Terms of Awards. Awards will generally be settled in shares of Cordia’s common stock or cash. The Compensation Committee may condition awards on the payment of taxes, and may provide for mandatory withholding of a portion of the shares or other property to be distributed in order to satisfy tax withholding obligations. Awards granted under the 2011 Stock Incentive Plan generally may not be pledged or otherwise encumbered and are not transferable except by will or by the laws of descent and distribution, or to a designated beneficiary upon the participant’s death, except that the Compensation Committee may permit transfers of awards (other than ISOs) on a case-by-case basis, but such transfers will be allowed only for estate-planning purposes and may not involve transfers to other third parties for value.

The 2011 Stock Incentive Plan authorizes the Compensation Committee to provide for forfeiture of awards and award gains in the event a participant fails to comply with conditions relating to non-competition, non-solicitation, confidentiality, non-disparagement and other requirements for the protection of the our business, including during specified periods following separation from service.

The Compensation Committee will determine, among other things, the vesting schedule of awards, the circumstances resulting in forfeiture of awards, the post-termination exercise periods of options, and the events resulting in acceleration of the right to exercise and the lapse of restrictions. Unless otherwise determined by the Compensation Committee at the time an award is made, a participant’s award(s) under the 2011 Stock Incentive Plan will vest in full upon the participant’s death or disability. In the event a participant’s employment or service is terminated for cause, all unvested awards are forfeited and all unexercised stock options are cancelled.

19

Change in Control. The 2011 Stock Incentive Plan provides that, in the event of a Change in Control (as described below), all outstanding awards will immediately vest and become fully exercisable and, any restrictions and forfeiture conditions of such awards will lapse. The Compensation Committee can provide for different treatment of an award upon a Change in Control by so specifying at the grant date. A Change in Control will mean the occurrence of any one of the following events: (i) direct or indirect acquisition by any individual, entity or group of beneficial ownership of 25% or more of the then outstanding common shares of Cordia; (ii) consummation of certain mergers or consolidations of Cordia with any other corporation following which the voting securities of Cordia outstanding represent less than a majority of the combined voting power of the voting securities of Cordia or the surviving entity; (iii) the consummation of a plan of complete liquidation of Cordia or an agreement for the sale or disposition by Cordia of all or substantially all Cordia’s assets; or (iv) within a two year period, a change in the composition of a majority of the Board of Directors of Cordia, as constituted on the first day of such period, that was not supported by two-thirds of the incumbent directors. In the event of a Change in Control, the Committee may unilaterally determine that all outstanding awards are cancelled and that the value of such awards, as determined by the Committee, be paid out in cash in an amount based on the value received by Cordia’s shareholders. However, no cash settlement will occur with respect to any award if the Committee reasonably determines in good faith prior to the occurrence of a Change in Control that such award shall be honored or assumed by any successor to Cordia.

Amendment and Termination of the 2011 Stock Incentive Plan. The Board may amend, suspend or terminate the 2011 Stock Incentive Plan or the Compensation Committee’s authority to grant awards under the 2011 Stock Incentive Plan without the consent of shareholders or participants, except that any amendment to the 2011 Stock Incentive Plan must be submitted to shareholders if an amendment would materially increase the number of shares reserved for issuance and delivery under the 2011 Stock Incentive Plan, change the types of awards available under the 2011 Stock Incentive Plan, expand the class of persons eligible to receive awards under the 2011 Stock Incentive Plan, extend the term of the 2011 Stock Incentive Plan or decrease the exercise price at which options may be granted. Unless earlier terminated, the authority of the Compensation Committee to make grants under the 2011 Stock Incentive Plan will terminate on the tenth anniversary of shareholder approval.

Certain Federal Income Tax Consequences. The following brief description of the tax consequences of stock option and restricted stock awards granted under the 2011 Stock Incentive Plan is based on federal income tax laws currently in effect and does not purport to be a complete description of such federal income tax consequences.

The grant of a non-statutory stock option is not a taxable event. However, upon the exercise of a non-statutory stock option, an optionee will recognize ordinary income equal to the difference between the option exercise price and the fair market value of Cordia common stock on the date of exercise, multiplied by the number of shares purchased upon exercise of the option. Cordia will receive a tax deduction equal to the ordinary income recognized by the optionee. Employees exercising non-statutory stock options are subject to federal, state and local (if any) tax withholding on the option income. Outside directors are not subject to tax withholding.

The grant of an incentive stock option is not a taxable event, nor is the exercise of an incentive stock option, if an optionee does not dispose of the common stock acquired upon exercise for a period of two years from the date of grant and one year following the date of exercise. If the optionee disposes of the shares before the expiration of the required holding periods, the optionee will have a disqualifying disposition and will recognize ordinary income equal to the difference between the option exercise price and the fair market value of Cordia common stock on the date of exercise, multiplied by the number of shares purchased upon exercise of the option. In such a case, Cordia will receive a tax deduction equal to the ordinary income recognized by the optionee. Currently the Internal Revenue Service does not require tax withholding on disqualifying dispositions.

20

When shares of restricted stock vest, the recipient will recognize ordinary income and Cordia will be entitled to a corresponding deduction equal to the fair market value of the stock at such time, unless he or she makes an election under Section 83(b) of the Internal Revenue Code. A restricted stock award recipient who makes an election under Section 83(b) of the Internal Revenue Code will recognize ordinary income at the time of the award and Cordia will be entitled to a corresponding deduction equal to the fair market value of the stock at such time. If the recipient makes a Section 83(b) election, there are no federal income tax consequences either to the recipient or Cordia at the time of vesting.

New Plan Benefits

If the amendment to the 2011 Stock Incentive Plan is approved, our Compensation Committee will be able to grant awards to eligible participants at its discretion. Consequently, except for the awards noted below, it is not possible to determine at this time the amount or dollar value of awards to be provided under the 2011 Stock Incentive Plan should this proposal be approved.

If the amendment to the 2011 Stock Incentive Plan is approved, it is the intention of the Compensation Committee to grant to the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, Jack Zoeller, options to acquire 15,000 shares of common stock and 66,000 shares of restricted stock. The stock option will have an exercise price equal to the fair market value of the common stock on the date of grant and the restricted stock will vest annually over a period of three years. The stock option also will have performance vesting criteria which must be met in order to vest. Non-employee directors would receive an annual retainer in the form of a stock grant with an approximate value of $10,000. If the amendment to the 2011 Stock Incentive Plan is approved, it is the intention of the Compensation Committee to grant each non-employee director serving at January 1, 2014, 2,300 shares of restricted stock, which will vest monthly through December 31, 2014. The size of grant and monthly vesting term for new Board members will be pro-rated based on the portion of the year actually served.

			Restricted Shares
Name and Position	Number of Options		Dollar Value(1)		Number of Shares		Number of Years to Vest
Jack Zoeller, President and CEO		15,000	$	285,120		66,000	3 years
Non-Executive Director Group		—		99,360		23,000	1 year

Equity Compensation Plan Information

The following table sets forth information about Cordia common stock that may be issued upon exercise of options, warrants and rights under all of Cordia’s equity compensation plans as of December 31, 2013.

The amendment to the 2011 Stock Incentive Plan will be approved if the number of votes cast “for” exceeds the number of votes cast “against.” Abstentions and broker non-votes will not be counted as votes cast and, therefore, will have no effect of outcome of the vote.

The Board of Directors unanimously recommends a vote “FOR” approval of the amendment of the 2011 Stock Incentive Plan.

Item 6 — Issuance of Common Stock and Nonvoting Common Stock Upon Conversion of Series A Preferred Stock.

Background and Reasons for Requesting Shareholder Approval

On April 10, 2014, the Company raised $15.4 million in a private placement (the “Private Placement”) of 362.9871 shares of its newly designated Mandatorily Convertible, Noncumulative, Nonvoting, Perpetual Preferred Stock, Series A (the “Series A Preferred Stock”) at a purchase price of $42,500 per share. The Series A Preferred Stock was issued pursuant to the terms of a Securities Purchase Agreement, dated as of April 10, 2014, by and among the Company and the investors (the “Investors”) identified therein (the “Securities Purchase Agreement”). The Private Placement was exempt from Securities and Exchange Commission registration pursuant to Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Rule 506 of Regulation D promulgated thereunder. The purpose of the Private Placement was to increase the Company’s equity capital and to raise funds for general corporate purposes.

At the close of business on the date that this proposal is approved by shareholders, each share of Series A Preferred Stock will convert into 10,000 shares (the “Conversion Rate”) of Company common stock (the “Common Stock”) or Company nonvoting common stock (the “Nonvoting Common Stock”), as applicable, based on an initial conversion price of $4.25 per share (the “Conversion Price”), subject to adjustment as provided for in the amendment to our articles of incorporation that sets forth the terms of the Series A Preferred Stock (the “Preferred Stock Designation”). For more information on the conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock, see “—Material Terms of Series A Preferred Stock.”

Upon the full conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock, the Company will issue 2,229,434 shares of Common Stock and 1,400,437 shares of Nonvoting Common Stock assuming that the Conversion Rate does not change. The Conversion Rate and the total number of shares of Common Stock and Nonvoting Common Stock to be issued would be adjusted for stock dividends, stock splits and other corporate actions. The Conversion Rate was set using a conversion price for the Common Stock of $4.25. The material terms of the Series A Preferred Stock are discussed below.

22

NASDAQ Shareholder Approval Requirement

Because our common stock is listed on the NASDAQ Stock Market, we are subject to the NASDAQ Stock Market Rules. NASDAQ Stock Market Rule 5635 requires shareholder approval prior to the issuance of securities in connection with a transaction, other than a public offering, involving the sale, issuance or potential issuance by a company of common stock, or securities convertible into or exercisable for common stock, equal to 20% or more of the common stock or 20% or more of the voting power outstanding before the issuance for less than the greater of book value or market value of the stock. Rule 5635 also requires shareholder approval for certain equity compensation arrangements. Under NASDAQ interpretations of Rule 5635, the issuance of common stock or securities convertible into or exercisable for common stock by a company to its directors, officers or employees in a private placement at a price less than the market value of the stock is considered a form of “equity compensation” by NASDAQ and requires shareholder approval.

The 2,229,434 new shares of Common Stock and 1,400,437 new shares of Nonvoting Common Stock to be issued upon the conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock, including shares to be issued to certain of the Company’s directors and executive officers (and their related interests), will exceed 20% of the common stock and voting power outstanding prior to the closing of the Private Placement and is expected to exceed 20% of the common stock and voting power outstanding prior to the conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock. The $4.25 per share conversion price for the Series A Preferred Stock was less than the book value and market price per share of our common stock at the time of the closing of the Private Placement, and is expected to be less than the book value per share of our common stock immediately prior to the conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock. Therefore, shareholder approval is required pursuant to NASDAQ Stock Market Rule 5635.

The following table shows the amount of shares of Series A Preferred Stock purchased by each of the Company’s directors and executive officers (directly or indirectly) in the Private Placement, the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock and Nonvoting Common Stock into which the shares of Series A Preferred Stock will convert, and the amount of “equity compensation” as interpreted under NASDAQ Stock Market Rule 5635 to each such person as a result of such purchase.

* Indicates less than 1% ownership.

(1) The amounts reflect the aggregate difference between the $4.25 initial conversion price of the Series A Preferred Stock and the $4.32 market price of the Common Stock on the date the Company entered into the Securities Purchase Agreement and issued the Series A Preferred Stock in the Private Placement. This difference is considered a form of “equity compensation” under NASDAQ Stock Market Rule 5635. The directors and executive officers of the Company purchased their shares of Series A Preferred Stock at the same price as other independent unaffiliated third party investors in the Private Placement.

Material Terms of Series A Preferred Stock

The following is a summary of the material terms and provisions of the preferences, limitations, voting powers and relative rights of the Series A Preferred Stock as contained in the Preferred Stock Designation included in the Articles of Amendment filed with the Virginia State Corporation Commission, a copy of which is attached as Appendix A to this proxy statement.

Authorized Shares, Stated Value and Liquidation Preference. We have designated 368 shares as “Mandatorily Convertible, Noncumulative, Nonvoting, Perpetual Preferred Stock, Series A,” which have a par value of $0.01 per share and a liquidation preference of $42,500 per share.

Mandatory Conversion and Conversion Limits. The shares of Series A Preferred Stock will convert into Common Stock, and as applicable, into Nonvoting Common Stock as of the close of business on the date the Company’s shareholders approve this proposal (the “Mandatory Conversion Date”). On the Mandatory Conversion Date, all shares of the Series A Preferred Stock will convert into Common Stock, except to the extent such conversion would trigger an “applicable conversion limit” (as described below), in which case a holder of Series A Preferred Stock will receive the minimum number of shares of Nonvoting Common Stock, in lieu of an equal number of shares of Common Stock, so that the holder will not exceed the applicable conversion limit. Pursuant to the Preferred Stock Designation, “applicable conversion limits” include (i) with respect to two Investors, such Investors, together with their affiliates, owning or controlling 5.0% or more of the Company’s voting securities and (ii) with respect to all other Investors, such Investors, together with their affiliates, owning or controlling 10% or more of the Company’s voting securities. The conversion limits were put in place to observe applicable regulatory or investment policy limitations applicable to certain Investors.

24

The number of shares of Common Stock and/or Nonvoting Common Stock into which each share of Series A Preferred Stock is convertible is determined by dividing (i) the $42,500 per share liquidation amount by (ii) the applicable Conversion Price, which initially is $4.25 per share, subject to customary anti-dilution adjustments, including in connection with stock dividends or distributions in shares of the Common Stock or subdivisions, splits and combinations of the Common Stock.

A statement of the terms of the Nonvoting Common Stock is included in the Articles of Amendment attached as Appendix A to this proxy statement.

Dividends. Commencing on the date on which shares of Series A Preferred Stock were first issued, holders of shares of outstanding Series A Preferred Stock are entitled to receive, when, as and if declared by the Board out of funds of the Company legally available therefor, noncumulative dividends in arrears at the rate per annum of: (i) 5.0% per share on the liquidation amount beginning on the issuance date of the Series A Preferred Stock; (ii) 7.0% per share for the dividend period beginning on the first Dividend Payment Date (as defined below); and (iii) 9.0% per share for all dividends accruing during all dividend periods beginning on or after the third Dividend Payment Date. Dividends will be payable semi-annually on each June 15th and December 15th, beginning on June 15, 2014 (each, a “Dividend Payment Date”) until the Mandatory Conversion Date.

Dividends on the Series A Preferred Stock are not cumulative. To the extent that the Board does not declare and pay dividends on the Series A Preferred Stock for any dividend period, in full or otherwise, such unpaid dividend shall not accrue and shall cease to be payable. The holders of the Series A Preferred Stock have no right to receive any dividends if the Company’s shareholders approve this proposal on or prior to August 7, 2014.

So long as any shares of Series A Preferred Stock remain outstanding, no dividend may be declared or paid upon, or any sum set apart for the payment of dividends upon, any outstanding share of Common Stock or Nonvoting Common Stock, or any other security we may issue that ranks junior to or on parity with the Series A Preferred Stock. Subject to limited exceptions, if dividends payable on all outstanding shares of the Series A Preferred Stock for any period have not been declared and paid, we will not be permitted to declare or pay dividends with respect to, or redeem, purchase, or acquire any shares of our Common Stock.

Ranking. The Series A Preferred Stock ranks, with respect to dividends and distributions on liquidation, winding up and dissolution, senior to our common stock and any other class or series of our stock now existing or hereafter established, the terms of which do not expressly provide that it ranks on a parity with or senior to the Series A Preferred Stock as to dividend rights and rights on liquidation, winding-up and dissolution of the Company.

25

Voting Rights. The holders of the Series A Preferred Stock will not have any voting rights other than as required by law, except that the approval of the holders of at least 66²/₃% of the Series A Preferred Stock, voting as a separate class, will be required with respect to certain matters, including (i) the authorization, creation or increase of authorized amount of any class or series of senior equity securities or (ii) amendments to the Articles of Incorporation that adversely affect the rights, preferences, privileges or voting powers of the Series A Preferred Stock.

Liquidation. In the event of any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the affairs of the Company, whether voluntary or involuntary, prior to the Mandatory Conversion Date, each holder of shares of Series A Preferred Stock will be entitled to receive for each share of Series A Preferred Stock, out of the assets of the Company or proceeds thereof available for distribution to Company shareholders (subject to the rights of any creditors), payment in an amount equal to the sum of $42,500 per share (or the then-current liquidation amount), plus any declared but unpaid dividends on such share of Series A Preferred Stock. This payment will be made before any distribution of such assets or proceeds is made to or set aside for the holders of common stock and any other junior securities of the Company. If our assets or the proceeds thereof available for distribution among the holders of our Series A Preferred Stock and the holders of shares of all of our other capital stock ranking pari passu with the Series A Preferred Stock are insufficient to pay in full the liquidation preference and liquidation payments on all such other parity securities, then all of the assets available, or the proceeds thereof, after payment of any senior securities, will be distributed among the holders of our Series A Preferred Stock and the holders of the parity securities ratably. A merger, consolidation or sale of all or substantially all of our property or business is not a liquidation, including upon dissolution, under the Preferred Stock Designation.

Redemption. The Series A Preferred Stock is not redeemable by the Company.

Anti-Dilution Provisions. The Conversion Price of the Series A Preferred Stock is subject to customary anti-dilution adjustments, including in connection with stock dividends or distributions in shares of the common stock or subdivisions, splits and combinations of the common stock.

Securities Purchase Agreement

The following is a summary of the material terms of the Securities Purchase Agreement.

Purchase and Sale of Stock. Pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement, we agreed to issue and sell 362.9871 shares of Series A Preferred Stock to the Investors at a purchase price of $42,500 per share.

Representations and Warranties. We made customary representations and warranties to the Investors relating to the Company, our business and our capital stock, including with respect to the shares of Series A Preferred Stock issued to the Investors pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement. The representations and warranties in the Securities Purchase Agreement were negotiated and made solely for purposes of the Securities Purchase Agreement and are subject to qualifications and limitations agreed to by the respective parties to the Securities Purchase Agreement.

Board Representation and Governance Matters. Under the Securities Purchase Agreement, in connection with the Private Placement, the Company and the Bank appointed Michael F. Rosinus, a representative selected by TNH Financial Funds, L.P., the lead investor in the Private Placement and an affiliate of Tricadia Capital Management, LLC, to serve on their respective Boards of Directors. TNH Financial Funds, L.P. will have the right to be represented on the Board of Directors of the Company and the Bank by one director of its choice, subject to reasonable approval by the Board of Directors, for as long as it beneficially owns at least 5.0% of the Company’s outstanding Common Stock (whether acquired upon conversion of shares of Series A Preferred Stock or otherwise and including, for this purpose, Nonvoting Common Stock). Additionally, pursuant to the terms of the Securities Purchase Agreement, not later than May 31, 2014, the Company also agreed to appoint David Zlatin to the Board of Directors of the Company and the Bank and/or nominate him for election as a director at the Company’s 2014 annual meeting of stockholders, subject to satisfaction of the legal and governance requirements regarding service as a director of the Company and to the reasonable approval of the Board of Directors.

26

Preemptive Rights. Subject to certain limited exceptions, Investors purchasing at least 4.9% of the Company’s outstanding Common Stock under the Securities Purchase Agreement have preemptive rights with respect to public or private offerings of Company equity securities (or rights to purchase, or securities convertible into or exercisable for, Company equity securities) during a one-year period after the date of the Securities Purchase Agreement to enable the Investors to maintain their percentage interests of Common Stock beneficially owned.

Agreement to Seek Shareholder Approval. We agreed to call and hold a meeting of our stockholders as promptly as practicable, but no later than 120 days following the issuance of the Series A Preferred Stock, and to cause our Board, subject to its fiduciary duties under Virginia law, to recommend and seek shareholder approval of the issuance of the shares of Common Stock and Nonvoting Common Stock upon the conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock. In addition, we agreed to prepare and file this proxy statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Voting Agreements. In connection with the execution of the Securities Purchase Agreement, each director and executive officer of the Company delivered a voting agreement to the Company agreeing to vote all of his shares of Common Stock in favor of this proposal.

Registration Rights. We have agreed that, within 20 days after the approval of this proposal by shareholders, we will prepare and file a registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission covering the resale of the shares of Common Stock and Nonvoting Common Stock issuable upon the conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock.

Transfer Restrictions. The Series A Preferred Stock may be disposed of only pursuant to an effective registration statement under, and in compliance with the requirements of, the Securities Act, or pursuant to an available exemption from, or in a transaction not subject to, the registration requirements of the Securities Act, and in compliance with any applicable state, federal or foreign securities laws and other regulatory requirements.

Indemnity. We have agreed to customary indemnification provisions for the benefit of each Investor relating to breaches of representations, warranties and covenants in the Stock Purchase Agreement and in connection with the sale of the Series A Preferred Stock.

Expenses. Each party to the Securities Purchase Agreement will bear and pay its own costs and expenses in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Securities Purchase Agreement, except that we agreed to reimburse one Investor for all legal expenses incurred by the Investor in connection with the Private Placement up to an aggregate of $75,000.

Other Covenants. We agreed to a number of customary covenants, including covenants with respect to the listing on NASDAQ of the new shares of Common Stock to be issued upon the conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock.

27

Potential Consequences if Proposal is Approved

Conversion of Series A Preferred Stock into Common Stock. Upon receipt of shareholder approval of this proposal, each share of Series A Preferred Stock will be automatically converted into 10,000 shares of Common Stock and/or Nonvoting Common Stock (subject to adjustment as described herein and in the Preferred Stock Designation), which is equal to the $42,500 per share liquidation amount of the Series A Preferred Stock divided by the Conversion Price (initially $4.25 per share).

Dilution. The outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock will be converted into 3,629,871 shares of Common Stock and/or Nonvoting Common Stock. As a result, we expect there to be a dilutive effect on both the earnings per share of our Common Stock and the book value per share of our Common Stock. In addition, our existing holders of Common Stock will incur substantial dilution of their voting power and will own a smaller percentage of our outstanding capital stock.

Rights of Investors. If shareholder approvals are received, (i) the rights and privileges associated with the new shares of Common Stock issued upon the conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock will be identical to the rights and privileges associated with the Common Stock held by our existing common shareholders, including voting rights, and (ii) the rights and privileges associated with the new shares of Nonvoting Common Stock issued upon the conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock will be identical to the rights and privileges associated with the Common Stock held by our existing common shareholders, except that the holders of the Nonvoting Common Stock will not be entitled to vote in respect of such shares except as required by the Virginia Stock Corporation Act.

Elimination of Dividend and Liquidation Rights of Holders of Series A Preferred Stock. Approval of this proposal will result in the elimination of the dividend rights and liquidation preference existing in favor of the Series A Preferred Stock. For more information regarding such dividend rights and liquidation preference, see “—Material Terms of Series A Preferred Stock.”

Improved Balance Sheet and Regulatory Capital Levels. We received aggregate gross proceeds of approximately $15.4 million from the Private Placement, which strengthened our balance sheet and regulatory capital levels. Upon the conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock into Common Stock and Nonvoting Common Stock, our tangible common equity will be further strengthened.

Market Effects. Despite the existence of certain restrictions on transfer, the issuance of shares of our Common Stock and Nonvoting Common Stock upon the conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock could affect trading patterns and adversely affect the market price of our Common Stock. If significant quantities of our Common Stock that are issued upon the conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock are sold (or if it is perceived that they may be sold) into the public market, the trading price of our Common Stock could be adversely affected, although we cannot predict whether these effects will occur, or their magnitude.

Potential Consequences if Proposal is Not Approved

Series A Preferred Stock Remains Outstanding. Unless shareholder approval of this proposal is received or unless our shareholders approve a similar proposal at a subsequent meeting, the Series A Preferred Stock will remain outstanding in accordance with its terms.

28

Continuing Dividend Payments. Until shareholders have approved this proposal, we will be required to pay substantial dividends on the Series A Preferred Stock, on a noncumulative basis, when, as and if declared by the Board. For information on dividends payable to the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock, see “—Material Terms of Series A Preferred Stock.”

Restriction on Payment of Dividends. For as long as the Series A Preferred Stock remains outstanding, if dividends payable on all outstanding shares of the Series A Preferred Stock have not been declared and paid, or declared and funds set aside therefor, we will not be permitted to declare or pay dividends with respect to, or redeem, purchase, or acquire any of our common stock.

Liquidation Preference. Until shareholders have approved this proposal, the Series A Preferred Stock will retain a senior liquidation preference over shares of our common stock in connection with any liquidation of the Company and, accordingly, no payments will be made to holders of our common stock upon any liquidation of the Company unless the full liquidation preference on the Series A Preferred Stock is paid.

Vote Required

This proposal will be approved if the number of votes cast “for” exceeds the number of votes cast “against” the proposal. Abstentions and broker non-votes will not be counted as votes cast and, therefore, will have no effect of outcome of the vote.

Each of the Company’s directors and executive officers has delivered a voting agreement to Cordia agreeing to vote all of his shares of Common Stock in favor of the proposal approving the issuance of Common Stock and Nonvoting Common Stock upon conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock.

The Board of Directors unanimously recommends a vote “FOR” approval of the issuance of the shares of Common Stock and Nonvoting Common Stock in connection with the conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock.

Item 7 — Approval of the Second Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation

On April 30, 2014, the Board of Directors voted unanimously to submit for shareholder approval a proposed Second Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation that will consolidate all existing provisions into a single document and remove obsolete provisions from the Company’s current Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation. The Board of Directors has declared the Second Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation to be advisable and in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders and recommends that the shareholders approve the Second Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation.

The Second Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation reflects the following amendments to the current Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation:

1. Deletion of the reference to Series C common stock in Section B.1 of Article III, as all such shares have been converted to common stock.

31

2. Deletion of Section B.4 of Article III, which sets forth the terms of the former Series C common stock.

3. Deletion of Section E of Article III, which sets forth the terms of the Series A Preferred Stock, which will automatically convert to Common Stock or Nonvoting Common Stock upon receipt of shareholder approval at the annual meeting.

Deletion of the terms of the Series A Preferred Stock is subject to approval of Proposal 6 regarding the issuance of Common Stock and Nonvoting Common Stock upon conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock.

This summary of the Second Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation is qualified in its entirety by the complete text of the Second Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation, which is attached as Appendix B to this proxy statement. The current Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation, as amended, can be found as Exhibit 3.1 to our Registration Statement on Form S-4 (File No. 333-186087) and Exhibit 3.1 of our Current Report on Form 8-K filed on April 10, 2014.

If the Second Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation is approved, it will become effective upon the filing of Articles of Restatement with the Virginia State Corporation Commission.

Approval of the Second Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation requires the affirmative vote of two-thirds of the outstanding shares of capital stock entitled to vote. Abstentions and broker non-votes will have the same effect as a vote “Against” the proposal.

The Board of Directors unanimously recommends a vote “FOR” approval of the Second Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation.

Employment Agreement

Cordia is a party to an employment agreement with Jack Zoeller.

In addition to base salary, Mr. Zoeller is entitled to certain housing and transportation benefits and to participation in corporate benefit plans for which he is eligible. Mr. Zoeller is also entitled to life insurance with a death benefit of $1 million.

Mr. Zoeller will be subject to restrictions on competing against Cordia, soliciting depositors or other customers of Cordia, and recruiting certain employees of Cordia for a period of 12 months following termination of his employment, except that the restriction on competition will cease to apply following a change in control.

Potential Post-Termination Benefits

Under the terms of his employment agreement, if Mr. Zoeller is terminated without cause, or if he resigns for good reason (as defined in the employment agreement), he will be entitled to receive his base salary for a period of 36 months following termination. If any payment made to Mr. Zoeller would constitute an “excess parachute payment” under Section 280G of the Internal Revenue Code, thereby resulting in a loss of an income tax deduction by Cordia or the imposition of an excise tax on Mr. Zoeller under Section 4999 of the Internal Revenue Code, then the payments provided for by the employment agreement will be reduced to one dollar less than the maximum amount that may be paid without causing any such payment to be nondeductible.

If Mr. Zoeller’s shares of restricted stock held as of December 9, 2010 are not fully vested and Mr. Zoeller’s employment is terminated without cause or he resigns for good reason within one year after a change in control, then Mr. Zoeller will be entitled to a lump sum payment equal to 299% of his annual base salary plus his most recent annual bonus. No payment will be made if Mr. Zoeller’s restricted shares vest within one year of the change in control.

The following table summarizes the consequences under Cordia’s 2011 Stock Incentive Plan that would occur with respect to outstanding stock options in the event of termination of employment of a named executive officer.

34

Event	Consequence
Involuntary termination	Unvested stock options will terminate immediately. Vested stock options remain exercisable for three months after the date of termination.
Death or disability	Immediate vesting. Stock options remain exercisable until the earlier of one year from the date of death or termination due to disability or the expiration date of the stock options.
Voluntary termination	Unvested stock options will terminate immediately. Vested stock options remain exercisable for three months after the date of termination.
Change in control	Immediate vesting. Stock options remain exercisable until the expiration of the remaining term of the stock options if the option holder is involuntarily or constructively terminated within 12 months after the change in control.

Certain Relationships and Related Transactions

Directors and officers and the business and professional organizations with which they are associated have and will continue to have banking transactions, including deposit accounts, loans and loan participations, with Cordia in the ordinary course of business.

If you own your shares in “street name” and are receiving multiple copies of our annual report and proxy statement, you can request householding by contacting your broker or other holder of record.

Whether or not you plan to attend the annual meeting, please vote by marking, signing, dating and promptly returning the enclosed proxy card in the enclosed envelope.

Exhibit A

Article III

Section B, subsection 5 Nonvoting Common Stock

Except as set forth in this subsection 5, the Common Stock and the Nonvoting Common Stock shall have the same rights and privileges, share ratably in all assets of the Corporation upon its liquidation, dissolution or winding-up, be entitled to receive dividends in the same amount per share and at the same time when, as and if declared by the Corporation’s board of directors, and be identical in all other respects as to all other matters, except voting.

(a)     The holders of Nonvoting Common Stock shall have no voting rights except as required by the Virginia Stock Corporation Act. Notwithstanding the foregoing, and in addition to any other vote required by law, the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of Nonvoting Common Stock, voting separately as a class, shall be required to amend the Corporation’s Articles of Incorporation, as amended, to adversely affect the designation, preferences, limitations or relative rights of all or part of the shares of Nonvoting Common Stock. Where shares of Nonvoting Common Stock are entitled to vote, each holder of Nonvoting Common Stock shall have one vote in respect of each share of Nonvoting Common Stock held of record solely on the matters as to which such shares are entitled to vote and subject to the rights and limitations specified by the Virginia Stock Corporation Act.

(b)      In the event of any stock split, combination or other reclassification of shares of either the Common Stock or the Nonvoting Common Stock, the outstanding shares of the other class shall be proportionately split, combined or reclassified in a similar manner; provided, however, that in any such transaction, holders of Common Stock shall receive only shares of Common Stock in respect of their shares of Common Stock and holders of Nonvoting Common Stock shall receive only shares of Nonvoting Common Stock in respect of their shares of Nonvoting Common Stock.

(c)      No transfer of shares of Nonvoting Common Stock by the initial holder thereof shall be permitted, except (i) in a Permitted Transfer, (ii) to an Affiliate of the initial holder of the Nonvoting Common Stock to be transferred or (iii) to the Corporation. A “Permitted Transfer” means a transfer by a holder of Nonvoting Common Stock (i) in a widespread public distribution; (ii) in which no transferee (or group of associated transferees) would receive two percent (2%) or more of any class of voting securities of the Corporation; or (iii) to a transferee that would control more than fifty percent (50%) of the voting securities of the Corporation without any transfer from such holder of Nonvoting Common Stock. “Affiliate” means, with respect to any person, any person directly or indirectly, controlling, controlled by or under common control with, such other person. Each share of Nonvoting Common Stock shall be converted automatically into one share of Common Stock incident to a transfer of such share of Nonvoting Common Stock to a transferee in a Permitted Transfer. The issuance of certificates, if any, for shares of Common Stock upon conversion of Nonvoting Common Stock shall be made without charge to the holders of such shares for any issuance tax in respect thereof or other cost incurred by the Corporation in connection with such conversion and the related issuance. The Corporation shall cooperate with the timely conversion of Nonvoting Common Stock subject to compliance with applicable law and regulations.

(d)      The Corporation shall at all times reserve and keep available out of its authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock or shares held in treasury for the Corporation, such number of its shares of Common Stock as shall from time to time be sufficient to effect the conversion of all outstanding shares of Nonvoting Common Stock.

(e)     In the event of any merger, consolidation, reclassification or other transaction in which the shares of Common Stock are exchanged for or changed into other stock or securities, cash and/or any other property, each share of Nonvoting Common Stock will at the same time be similarly exchanged or changed in an amount per whole share equal to the aggregate amount of stock, securities, cash and/or any other property (payable in kind), as the case may be, that each share of Common Stock would be entitled to receive as a result of such transaction, provided that at the election of the holder of shares of Nonvoting Common Stock, any securities issued with respect to the Nonvoting Common Stock shall be nonvoting under the resulting institution’s organizational documents to the same extent as the Nonvoting Common Stock is nonvoting and the Corporation shall make appropriate provisions (in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the holders of a majority of the Nonvoting Common Stock then outstanding) and take such other actions necessary to ensure that the holders of the Nonvoting Common Stock shall retain securities with substantially the same rights and benefits, including the right to convert nonvoting common stock into common stock, as the Nonvoting Common Stock. Subject to the immediately preceding sentence, in the event the holders of Common Stock are provided the right to convert or exchange Common Stock for stock or securities, cash and/or any other property, then the holders of the Nonvoting Common Stock shall be provided the same right based upon the number of shares of Common Stock such holders would be entitled to receive if such shares of Nonvoting Common Stock were converted into shares of Common Stock immediately prior to such offering. In the event that the Corporation offers to repurchase shares of Common Stock from its shareholders generally, the Corporation shall offer to repurchase Nonvoting Common Stock pro rata based upon the number of shares of Common Stock such holders would be entitled to receive if such shares were converted into shares of Common Stock immediately prior to such repurchase. In the event of any pro rata subscription offer, rights offer or similar offer to holders of Common Stock, the Corporation shall provide the holders of the Nonvoting Common Stock the right to participate based upon the number of shares of Common Stock such holders would be entitled to receive if such shares were converted into shares of Common Stock immediately prior to such offering; provided that at the election of such holder, any shares issued with respect to the Nonvoting Common Stock shall be issued in the form of Nonvoting Common Stock rather than Common Stock.

A-8

(c) So long as any share of Series A Preferred Stock remains outstanding, no dividend or distribution shall be declared or paid upon, or any sum set apart for the payment of dividends upon, the Common Stock or any other shares of Junior Stock (other than dividends payable solely in shares of Common Stock) or Parity Stock, and no Common Stock, Junior Stock or Parity Stock shall be, directly or indirectly, purchased, redeemed or otherwise acquired for consideration by the Corporation or any of its subsidiaries unless all dividends on all outstanding shares of the Series A Preferred Stock for any Dividend Period have been declared and paid in full (or have been declared and a sum sufficient for the payment thereof has been set aside for the benefit of the Holders of shares of Series A Preferred Stock on the applicable Record Date). The foregoing limitation shall not apply to (i) any dividends or distributions of rights or Junior Stock in connection with a shareholders’ rights plan or any redemption or repurchase of rights pursuant to any shareholders’ rights plan; and (ii) the acquisition by the Corporation or any of its subsidiaries of record ownership in Junior Stock or Parity Stock for the beneficial ownership of any other persons (other than for the beneficial ownership by the Corporation or any of its subsidiaries), including as trustees or custodians.

(d) When dividends are not paid (or declared and a sum sufficient for payment thereof set aside for the benefit of the Holders thereof on the applicable Record Date) on any Dividend Payment Date (or, in the case of Parity Stock having dividend payment dates different from the Dividend Payment Dates, on a dividend payment date falling within a Dividend Period related to such Dividend Payment Date) in full upon shares of Series A Preferred Stock and any shares of Parity Stock, all dividends declared on shares of Series A Preferred Stock and all such Parity Stock and payable on such Dividend Payment Date (or, in the case of Parity Stock having dividend payment dates different from the Dividend Payment Dates, on a dividend payment date falling within the Dividend Period related to such Dividend Payment Date) shall be declared pro rata so that the respective amounts of such dividends declared shall bear the same ratio to each other as full dividends payable on the Series A Preferred Stock for such Dividend Period and all Parity Stock payable on such Dividend Payment Date (or, in the case of Parity Stock having dividend payment dates different from the Dividend Payment Dates, on a dividend payment date falling within the Dividend Period related to such Dividend Payment Date) (subject to the dividends being declared by the Board of Directors out of legally available funds and including, in the case of Parity Stock that bears cumulative dividends, all accrued but unpaid dividends) bear to each other. If the Board of Directors determines not to pay any dividend or a full dividend on a Dividend Payment Date, the Corporation will provide written notice to the Holders of shares of Series A Preferred Stock prior to such Dividend Payment Date.

(e) If the Conversion Date is on or prior to the Dividend Payment Commencement Date, no Holder of shares of Series A Preferred Stock will have any right to receive any dividends on the Series A Preferred Stock with respect to such Dividend Period, whether upon the Conversion or otherwise.

(f) All dividends on shares of Series A Preferred Stock shall be paid solely in cash.

(g) Prior to the Conversion Date, shares of Common Stock and, as applicable, shares of Nonvoting Common Stock, issuable upon such Conversion shall not be deemed outstanding for any purpose, and Holders of shares of Series A Preferred Stock shall have no rights as holders or otherwise with respect to the Common Stock or, if applicable, Nonvoting Common Stock (including voting rights, rights to respond to tender offers for the Common Stock and rights to receive any dividends or other distributions on the Common Stock or Nonvoting Common Stock other than as expressly set forth in Section 4(a)) by virtue of holding shares of Series A Preferred Stock.

5. Mandatory Conversion; Conversion Procedures; Permitted Transfers.

(a) Mandatory Conversion; Limitations on Beneficial Ownership.

(i) Effective as of the close of business on the Business Day on which the Shareholder Approval is received (the “Conversion Date”), all shares of Series A Preferred Stock shall, without any action by the Holders, automatically convert into the number of shares of Common Stock and, as applicable, shares of Nonvoting Common Stock, as set forth below (the “Conversion”). The number of shares of Common Stock into which a share of Series A Preferred Stock shall be convertible shall be determined by dividing the Liquidation Amount by the Conversion Price (subject to the conversion procedures of Section 6 hereof) plus cash in lieu of fractional shares in accordance with Section 9 hereof; provided, however, that if such conversion would result in:

(A) except as provided by Section 5(a)(iii), a Holder, together with all BHC Affiliates of the Holder, owning or controlling in the aggregate a Voting Ownership Interest of 10.0% or more, excluding for the purpose of this calculation any reduction in ownership resulting from transfers by such Holder and its BHC Affiliates of Voting Securities of the Corporation (the “Conversion Limit”); or

(B) a Scheduled Holders, together with all BHC Affiliates of the Scheduled Holder, owning or controlling in the aggregate a Voting Ownership Interest of 5.0% or more, excluding for the purpose of this calculation any reduction in ownership resulting from transfers by the Scheduled Holder and its BHC Affiliates of Voting Securities of the Corporation (such limit, with the Conversion Limit, the “Applicable Conversion Limits”), then such Holder shall receive the minimum number of shares of Nonvoting Common Stock, in lieu of an equal number of shares of Common Stock, such that the Holder will not exceed any Applicable Conversion Limits.

(ii) Upon the Conversion Date, each Series A Preferred Stock Certificate shall represent solely the right to receive (A) a certificate representing the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the Conversion Date for the shares of Series A Preferred Stock formerly represented by each such Series A Preferred Stock Certificate, and (B) if applicable, a certificate representing the number of shares of Nonvoting Common Stock issuable upon the Conversion Date for the shares of Series A Preferred Stock formerly represented by each such Series A Preferred Stock Certificate, in each case upon proper surrender of such Series A Preferred Stock Certificate to the Corporation or cancellation of such book entries on the Corporation’s or its Transfer Agent’s records, as applicable.

(b) Upon the Conversion, the Corporation shall provide promptly, but in any event within five (5) Business Days thereafter, notice to each Holder (such notice a “Notice of Conversion”). In addition to any information required by applicable law or regulation, the Notice of Conversion with respect to such Holder shall state, as appropriate:

(i) the Conversion Date;

(ii) a form of letter of transmittal to be completed and returned to the Transfer Agent;

(iii) the number of shares of Common Stock and, as applicable, Nonvoting Common Stock (plus cash in lieu of fractional shares, if any pursuant to Section 9) receivable upon such Conversion for each share of Series A Preferred Stock held of record by such Holder upon such Conversion; and

(iv) the place or places where Series A Preferred Stock Certificates (if held in certificated form) held of record by such Holder are to be surrendered for issuance of certificates representing shares of Common Stock and, if applicable, Nonvoting Common Stock.

(c) Upon receipt by the Transfer Agent of a completed and duly executed letter of transmittal as contemplated by Section 5(b), and proper surrender of the Series A Preferred Stock Certificate (if held in certificated form), the Corporation shall, within two (2) Business Days following notification from the Transfer Agent of the proper surrender of such Series A Preferred Stock Certificate, instruct the Transfer Agent to (i) issue a certificate for that number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon Conversion of the shares of Series A Preferred Stock represented by such certificate, and (ii) if applicable, a certificate representing the number of shares of Nonvoting Common Stock issuable upon Conversion.

A-10

(d) No transfer of shares of Series A Preferred Stock by a Holder to a transferee shall be permitted, except (i) in a Permitted Transfer, or (ii) to a BHC Affiliate of such Holder.

6. Certain Conversion Procedures and Adjustments.

(a) On the Conversion Date, the Series A Preferred Stock converted shall no longer be outstanding, and dividends shall no longer accrue, be declared or paid on any shares of Series A Preferred Stock converted for the current Dividend Period and any prior Dividend Periods and, in each case, subject to the right of Holders of such shares to receive solely (i) the number of shares of Common Stock and, if applicable, Nonvoting Common Stock into which such shares of Series A Preferred Stock are convertible, and (ii) payments, if any, to which such Holders are entitled pursuant to Sections 5 and 9, as applicable.

(b) Shares of Series A Preferred Stock duly converted in accordance herewith, or otherwise reacquired by the Corporation, shall resume the status of authorized and unissued Preferred Stock, undesignated as to series and available for future issuance, provided that any such cancelled shares of Series A Preferred Stock may be reissued only as shares of any series of Preferred Stock other than Series A Preferred Stock.

(c) The Record Holder of the Series A Preferred Stock converted shall be solely entitled to receive the Common Stock and, if applicable, Nonvoting Common Stock, and/or cash, securities or other property, if any, issuable upon the Conversion, and, prior to the Conversion, shall not be treated for any purpose as the Record Holder(s) of such shares of Common Stock, Nonvoting Common Stock, and/or other securities. No shares of Common Stock or, if applicable, Nonvoting Common Stock, issuable upon the Conversion shall be issued to a Person other than the respective Record Holders of shares of Series A Preferred Stock.

(d) The Conversion Rate shall be adjusted from time to time as follows, and, if required hereby, any references to Common Stock shall also apply to shares of Nonvoting Common Stock in the same manner, and all references to Common Stock in this Section 6 shall mean and include shares of Nonvoting Common Stock issuable upon Conversion of Series A Preferred Stock at the respective times set forth below.

(i) Stock Dividends and Distributions. If the Corporation issues Common Stock as a dividend or distribution on the Common Stock to all holders of the Common Stock (other than in connection with a Reorganization Event), or if the Corporation effects a share split or share combination of the Common Stock, the Conversion Rate will be adjusted based on the following formula:

CR1	=	CR0 × [OS1 /OS0]
where
CR0	=	the Conversion Rate in effect at the close of business on the Record Date
CR1	=	the new Conversion Rate in effect immediately after the Record Date
OS0	=	the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at the close of business on the Record Date prior to giving effect to such event
OS1	=	the number of shares of Common Stock that would be outstanding immediately after, and solely as a result of, such event.

Any adjustment made pursuant to this clause (i) shall become effective on the date that is immediately after (x) the Record Date or (y) the date on which such split or combination becomes effective, as applicable. If any dividend or distribution described in this clause (i) is declared but not so paid or made, the new Conversion Rate shall be readjusted to the Conversion Rate that would then be in effect if such dividend or distribution had not been declared.

(ii) Issuance of Stock Purchase Rights. If the Corporation issues to all holders of Common Stock any rights, warrants, options or other securities (other than rights issued pursuant to a shareholder rights plan or rights or warrants issued in connection with a Reorganization Event) entitling them for a period of not more than 60 days after the date of issuance thereof to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock, or if the Corporation issues to all holders of Common Stock securities convertible into Common Stock for a period of not more than 60 days after the date of issuance thereof, in either case at an exercise price per share of Common Stock or a conversion price per share of Common Stock less than the Current Market Price of the Common Stock on the Record Date, the Conversion Rate will be adjusted based on the following formula:

A-11

CR1	=	CR0 × [(OS0 + X) / (OS0 + Y)]
where
CR0	=	the Conversion Rate in effect at the close of business on the Record Date
CR1	=	the new Conversion Rate in effect immediately after the Record Date
OS0	=	the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at the close of business on the Record Date
X	=	the total number of shares of Common Stock issuable pursuant to such rights, warrants, options, other securities or convertible securities (or upon conversion of such securities)
Y	=	the number of shares of Common Stock equal to the quotient of (A) the aggregate price payable to exercise such rights, warrants, options, other securities (or the conversion price for such securities paid upon conversion) and (B) the Current Market Price per share of Common Stock immediately preceding the date of announcement for the issuance of such rights, warrants, options, other securities or convertible securities.

For purposes of this clause (ii), in determining whether any rights, warrants, options, other securities or convertible securities entitle the holders to subscribe for or purchase, or exercise a conversion right for, Common Stock at less than the applicable Current Market Price per share of Common Stock on the applicable date, and in determining the aggregate exercise or conversion price payable for such Common Stock, there shall be taken into account any consideration the Corporation receives for such rights, warrants, options, other securities or convertible securities and any amount payable on exercise or conversion thereof, with the value of such consideration, if other than cash, to be determined in good faith by the Board of Directors. If any right, warrant, option, other security or convertible security described in this clause (ii) is not exercised or converted prior to the expiration of the exercisability or convertibility thereof, the new Conversion Rate shall be readjusted to the Conversion Rate that would then be in effect if such right, warrant, option, other security or convertible security had not been so issued.

Any adjustment made pursuant to this clause (ii) shall become effective on the date that is immediately after the Record Date.

(iii) Debt or Asset Distributions.

(A) If the Corporation distributes capital stock (other than Common Stock), evidences of indebtedness or other assets or property of the Corporation to all holders of the Common Stock, excluding: (x) dividends, distributions, rights, warrants, options, other securities or convertible securities referred to in clause (i) or (ii) above, (y) dividends or distributions paid exclusively in cash, and (z) Spin-Offs (as described below), then the Conversion Rate will be adjusted based on the following formula:

CR1	=	CR0 × [SP0 /(SP0 - FMV)]
where
CR0	=	the Conversion Rate in effect at the close of business on the Record Date
CR1	=	the new Conversion Rate in effect immediately after the Record Date
SP0	=	the Current Market Price of the Common Stock on the Record Date
FMV	=	the fair market value (as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors) of the capital stock, evidences of indebtedness, assets or property distributed with respect to each outstanding share of Common Stock on the Record Date.

A-12

Notwithstanding the immediately preceding sentence, if “FMV” with respect to any distribution of shares of capital stock, evidences of indebtedness or other assets or property of the Corporation is equal to or greater than “SP₀” with respect to such distribution, then in lieu of the foregoing adjustment, adequate provision shall be made so that each holder of Series A Preferred Stock shall have the right to receive on the date such shares of capital stock, evidences of indebtedness or other assets or property of the Corporation are distributed to holders of Common Stock, for each share of Series A Preferred Stock, the amount of shares of capital stock, evidences of indebtedness or other assets or property of the Corporation such holder of Series A Preferred Stock would have received had such holder of Series A Preferred Stock owned a number of shares of Common Stock into which such Series A Preferred Stock is then convertible at the conversion rate in effect on the Record Date for such distribution.

An adjustment to the Conversion Rate made pursuant to this clause (iii)(A) shall be made successively whenever any such distribution is made and shall become effective on the Record Date.

(B) If the Corporation distributes to all holders of the Common Stock, capital stock of any class or series, or similar equity interest, of or relating to a subsidiary or other business unit of the Corporation (a “Spin-Off”), the Conversion Rate will be adjusted based on the following formula:

CR1	=	CR0 × [(FMV0 + MP0) /MP0]
where:
CR0	=	the Conversion Rate in effect at the close of business on the Record Date
CR1	=	the new Conversion Rate in effect immediately after the Record Date
FMV0	=	the average volume weighted average price of the capital stock or similar equity interest distributed to holders of the Common Stock applicable to one share of Common Stock for the 10 consecutive Trading Days commencing on, and including, the third Trading Day after the date on which “ex-distribution trading” commences for such dividend or distribution with respect to the Common Stock on the Nasdaq or such other national or regional exchange or association or over-the-counter market or if not so traded or quoted, the fair market value (as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors) of the capital stock or similar equity interests distributed to holders of the Common Stock applicable to one share of the Common Stock
MP0	=	the Average VWAP of the Common Stock for the 10 consecutive Trading Days commencing on, and including, the third Trading Day after the date on which “ex-distribution trading” commences for such dividend or distribution with respect to the Common Stock on the Nasdaq or such other U.S. national or regional exchange or market that is at that time the principal exchange or market for the Common Stock.

An adjustment to the Conversion Rate made pursuant to this clause (iii)(B) will occur on the 10th Trading Day from and including the effective date of the Spin-Off; provided that if a Conversion occurs within the 10 Trading Days immediately following and including the date of the Spin-Off, references with respect to the Spin-Off to “the 10 consecutive Trading Days” shall be deemed replaced with a period of consecutive Trading Days containing such lesser number of Trading Days as have elapsed between the effective date of such Spin-Off and the Conversion Date and the adjustment in respect of such conversion shall occur immediately prior to the conversion.

If any such dividend or distribution described in this clause (iii) is declared but not paid or made, the new Conversion Rate shall be readjusted to be the Conversion Rate that would then be in effect if such dividend or distribution had not been declared.

A-13

(iv) Cash Distributions. If the Corporation pays or makes any dividend or distribution consisting exclusively of cash to all holders of Common Stock, excluding (a) any cash dividend or distribution on the Common Stock to the extent a corresponding cash dividend or distribution pursuant to Section 4 is paid on the Series A Preferred Stock and (b) any dividend or distribution in connection with the Corporation’s liquidation, dissolution or winding up, then the Conversion Rate will be adjusted based on the following formula:

CR1	=	CR0 × [SP0 /(SP0 - C)]
where:
CR0	=	the Conversion Rate in effect at the close of business on the Record Date
CR1	=	the new Conversion Rate in effect immediately after the Record Date
SP0	=	the Current Market Price of the Common Stock as of the Record Date
C	=	the amount in cash per share that the Corporation distributes to holders of the Common Stock.

An adjustment to the Conversion Rate made pursuant to this clause (iv) shall become effective on the date fixed for determination of the holders of Common Stock entitled to receive such dividend or distribution. If any dividend or distribution described in this clause (iv) is declared but not so paid or made, the new Conversion Rate shall be readjusted to the Conversion Rate that would then be in effect if such dividend or distribution had not been declared.

(v) Self Tender Offers and Exchange Offers. If the Corporation or any of its subsidiaries makes a payment in respect of a tender offer or exchange offer for the Common Stock to the extent that the cash and value of any other consideration included in the payment per share of Common Stock exceeds the Current Market Price per share of Common Stock on the Trading Day next succeeding the last date on which tenders or exchanges may be made pursuant to such tender or exchange offer (the “Expiration Date”), the Conversion Rate will be adjusted based on the following formula:

CR1	=	CR0 × [(FMV + (SP1 × OS1)) / (SP1 × OS0)]
where:
CR0	=	the Conversion Rate in effect at the close of business on the Expiration Date
CR1	=	the new Conversion Rate in effect immediately after the Expiration Date
FMV	=	The fair market value (as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors) on the Expiration Date, of the aggregate value of all cash and any other consideration paid or payable for the Common Stock validly tendered or exchanged and not withdrawn as of the Expiration Date (the “Purchased Shares”)
OS0	=	the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on the Expiration Date, including any Purchased Shares
OS1	=	the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on the Expiration Date, excluding any Purchased Shares
SP1	=	the Average VWAP of the Common Stock for the 10 consecutive Trading-Day period commencing on the Trading Day next succeeding the Expiration Date.

If the application of the foregoing formula would result in a decrease in the Conversion Rate, no adjustment to such Conversion Rate will be made. Any adjustment to a Conversion Rate made pursuant to this clause (v) shall become effective on the date immediately following the last Trading Day included in the determination of the Average VWAP of the Common Stock for purposes of SP1 above; provided that if the Conversion occurs within the 10 Trading Days commencing on the Trading Day next succeeding the Expiration Date, references to the “10 consecutive Trading Days” with respect to this clause (v) shall be deemed replaced with a period of consecutive Trading Days containing such lesser number of Trading Days as have elapsed between the Expiration Date and the Conversion Date, and the adjustment in respect of such conversion shall occur immediately prior to the conversion. If the Corporation or one of its subsidiaries is obligated to purchase Common Stock pursuant to any such tender or exchange offer but is permanently prevented by applicable law from effecting any such purchase or all such purchases are rescinded, the new Conversion Rate shall be readjusted to be the Conversion Rate that would be in effect if such tender or exchange offer had not been made.

A-14

(vi) Rights Plans. If the Corporation has in effect a shareholder rights plan while any shares of Series A Preferred Stock remain outstanding, Holders of Series A Preferred Stock will receive, upon any Conversion of Series A Preferred Stock, in addition to Common Stock and, if applicable, Nonvoting Common Stock, rights under the Corporation’s shareholder rights agreement unless, prior to such conversion, the rights have expired, terminated or been redeemed or unless the rights have separated from the Common Stock. If the rights provided for in the shareholder rights plan have separated from the Common Stock in accordance with the provisions of the applicable shareholder rights agreement so that Holders of Series A Preferred Stock would not be entitled to receive any rights in respect of the Common Stock, if any, that the Corporation is required to deliver upon conversion of Series A Preferred Stock, the Conversion Rate will be adjusted at the time of separation as if the Corporation had distributed to all holders of the Common Stock, capital stock, evidences of indebtedness or other assets or property pursuant to clause (iii) above, subject to readjustment upon the subsequent expiration, termination or redemption of the rights. A distribution of rights pursuant to a shareholder rights plan will not trigger an adjustment to the Conversion Rates pursuant to clauses (ii) or (iii) above.

(e) With the approval of the Holders of at least 66 2/3% of the shares of Series A Preferred Stock at the time outstanding, the Corporation may make such increases in the Conversion Rate, in addition to any other increases required by this Section 6, if the Board of Directors deems it advisable in order to avoid or diminish any income tax to holders of the Common Stock resulting from any dividend or distribution of the Corporation’s shares (or issuance of rights or warrants to acquire shares) or from any event treated as such for income tax purposes or for any other reasons. If any adjustment to the Conversion Rate is treated as a distribution to any U.S. Alien Holder which is subject to withholding tax, the Corporation (or the Transfer Agent or any paying agent on behalf of the Corporation) may set off any withholding tax that is required to be collected with respect to such deemed distribution against cash payments and other distributions otherwise deliverable to such Holder.

(f) No adjustment in any Conversion Rate will be required unless the adjustment would require an increase or decrease of at least 1% of the Conversion Rate. If the adjustment is not made because the adjustment does not change the Conversion Rate by at least 1%, then the adjustment that is not made will be carried forward and taken into account and included in any future adjustment. All required calculations will be made to the nearest cent or 1/10,000th of a share. Notwithstanding the foregoing, all adjustments not previously made shall have effect with respect to any Conversion. No adjustment to the Conversion Rate need be made if Holders may participate in the transaction that would otherwise give rise to such adjustment, so long as the distributed assets or securities the Holders would receive upon conversion of shares of Series A Preferred Stock—if such assets or securities are convertible, exchangeable or exercisable—are convertible, exchangeable or exercisable, as applicable, without any loss of rights or privileges for a period of at least 45 days following conversion of shares of Series A Preferred Stock.

(g) The applicable Conversion Rate shall not be adjusted:

(i) upon the issuance of any shares of Common Stock pursuant to any present or future plan providing for the reinvestment of dividends or interest payable on the Corporation’s securities and the investment of additional optional amounts in the Common Stock under any plan;

(ii) upon the issuance of any shares of Common Stock or options or rights to purchase those shares pursuant to any present or future employee, director or consultant benefit plan, employee agreement or arrangement or program of the Corporation;

(iii) upon the issuance of any shares of Common Stock pursuant to any option, warrant, right, or exercisable, exchangeable or convertible security outstanding as of the Issue Date; or

(iv) for a change in the par value of the Common Stock.

A-15

(h) The Corporation shall have the power to resolve any ambiguity and its action in so doing, as evidenced by a resolution of the Board, shall be final and conclusive unless clearly inconsistent with the intent hereof.

(i) Whenever the Conversion Rate is to be adjusted, the Corporation shall: (i) compute such adjusted Conversion Rate and prepare and transmit to the Transfer Agent an Officers’ Certificate setting forth such adjusted Conversion Rate, the method of calculating the adjusted Conversion Rate in reasonable detail and the facts requiring such adjustment; and (ii) as soon as practicable following the determination of a revised Conversion Rate, provide, or cause to be provided, a written notice to the Holders of shares of Series A Preferred Stock of the occurrence of such event, a statement setting forth such revised Conversion Rate, the method of calculating the adjusted Conversion Rate in reasonable detail and the facts requiring such adjustment. Failure to deliver such notice shall not affect the legality or validity of any such adjustment.

(j) Nothing in this Section 6 shall amend any other section of this Article III Section E or permit any transaction, action or event prohibited or restricted by any other provision in this Article III Section E.

7. Reorganization Events.

(a) In the event that any of the following events occurs prior to any Conversion Date: (i) any consolidation or merger of the Corporation with or into another Person (other than a merger or consolidation in which the Corporation is the continuing corporation and in which the shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the merger or consolidation are not exchanged for cash, securities or other property of the Corporation or another Person), (ii) any sale, transfer, lease or conveyance to another Person of all or substantially all of the Corporation’s property and assets, or (iii) any reclassification of the Common Stock into securities including securities other than the Common Stock (any such event specified in clause (i) through (iii), a “Reorganization Event”), then each share of Series A Preferred Stock outstanding immediately prior to such Reorganization Event shall, without the consent of the Holders thereof, remain outstanding but shall at each Holder’s option, upon the effective date and time (“Reorganization Effective Time”) of such Reorganization Event, be convertible into the kind of securities, cash and other property receivable in such Reorganization Event (without any interest thereon and without any right to dividends or distributions thereon which have a record date that is prior to the Reorganization Event) per share of Common Stock (the “Exchange Property”) as if the Holder of such share of Series A Preferred Stock had converted such share into common equity (voting and nonvoting) immediately prior to such Reorganization Event and exercised his rights of election, if any, as to the kind or amount of securities, cash and other property receivable upon such Reorganization Event (provided that if the kind or amount of securities, cash and other property receivable upon such Reorganization Event is not the same for each share of Common Stock held immediately prior to such Reorganization Event and in respect of which such rights of election shall have been exercised (“Electing Share”), then, for the purpose of this Section 7(a) the kind and amount of securities, cash and other property receivable upon such Reorganization Event by the holder of each Electing Share shall be deemed to be the weighted average of the kinds and amounts so receivable per share by the holders of the Electing Shares; provided further that to the extent elected by the Holder, any securities issued with respect to the underlying Nonvoting Common Stock shall be nonvoting under the resulting institution’s organizational documents to the same extent as the Nonvoting Common Stock is nonvoting and the Corporation shall make appropriate provisions and take such other actions necessary to ensure that such nonvoting securities will have substantially the same rights and benefits as the Nonvoting Common Stock, including the right to convert nonvoting common stock into common stock). The amount of Exchange Property receivable upon any Reorganization Event shall be determined based upon the Conversion Rate in effect on such Reorganization Effective Time.

(b) The above provisions of Section 7(a) shall similarly apply to successive Reorganization Events and the provisions of Section 8 shall apply to any shares of capital stock of the Corporation (or any successor) received by the holders of Common Stock in any such Reorganization Event.

(c) The Corporation (or any successor) shall, within 20 days of the Reorganization Effective Time of any Reorganization Event, provide written notice to the Holders of the occurrence of such event and of the kind and amount of the cash, securities or other property that constitute the Exchange Property. Failure to deliver such notice shall not affect the operation or effect of Section 7(a).

A-16

(d) The Corporation shall not enter into any agreement for a transaction constituting a Reorganization Event unless such agreement provides for or does not interfere with or prevent (as applicable) conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock into the Exchange Property in a manner that is consistent with and gives effect to Section 7(a).

8. Reservation of Common Stock.

(a) The Corporation shall at all times reserve and keep available out of its authorized and unissued Common Stock and Nonvoting Common Stock or shares of either held in the treasury of the Corporation, solely for issuance upon the conversion of shares of Series A Preferred Stock as herein provided, free from any preemptive or other similar rights, such number of shares of Common Stock and Nonvoting Common Stock as shall from time to time be issuable upon the conversion of all the shares of Series A Preferred Stock then outstanding. For purposes of this Section 8(a), the number of shares of Common Stock and Nonvoting Common Stock that shall be deliverable upon the conversion of all outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock shall be computed as if at the time of computation all such outstanding shares were held by a single Holder.

(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing Section 8(a), the Corporation shall be entitled to deliver upon conversion of shares of Series A Preferred Stock, as herein provided, shares of Common Stock and/or Nonvoting Common Stock reacquired and held in the treasury of the Corporation (in lieu of the issuance of authorized and unissued shares of Common Stock or Nonvoting Common Stock), so long as any such treasury shares are free and clear of all liens, claims, charges, security interests or encumbrances (other than liens, claims, charges, security interests and other encumbrances, if any, created by the Holders) (“Liens”).

(c) All shares of Common Stock and Nonvoting Common Stock delivered upon conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock shall, upon issuance, be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable, free and clear of all Liens.

(d) Prior to the delivery of any securities that the Corporation shall be obligated to deliver upon conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock, the Corporation shall use its reasonable best efforts to comply with all federal and state laws and regulations thereunder requiring the registration of such securities with, or any approval of or consent to the delivery thereof by, any governmental or regulatory authority.

(e) The Corporation hereby covenants and agrees that, if at any time the Common Stock shall be listed on Nasdaq or any other national securities exchange or automated quotation system, the Corporation shall, if permitted by the rules of such exchange or automated quotation system, list and keep listed, so long as the Common Stock shall be so listed on such exchange or automated quotation system, all Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock; provided, however, that if the rules of such exchange or automated quotation system permit the Corporation to defer the listing of such Common Stock until the Conversion of shares of Series A Preferred Stock into Common Stock in accordance with the provisions hereof, the Corporation covenants to list such Common Stock issuable upon conversion of shares of Series A Preferred Stock in accordance with the requirements of such exchange or automated quotation system at such time.

9. Fractional Shares.

(a) No fractional shares of Common Stock or Nonvoting Common Stock shall be issued as a result of the Conversion of shares of Series A Preferred Stock.

(b) In lieu of any fractional share of Common Stock or Nonvoting Common Stock otherwise issuable in respect of any Conversion, the Corporation shall at its option either (i) issue to such Holder an amount of shares rounded up to the next whole share of Common Stock or Nonvoting Common Stock or (ii) pay an amount in cash (computed to the nearest cent) equal to the same fraction of the Current Market Price of the Common Stock as of the end of the Trading Day preceding the Conversion Date.

(c) If more than one share of the Series A Preferred Stock is surrendered for conversion at one time by or for the same Holder, the number of full shares of Common Stock or Nonvoting Common Stock issuable upon conversion thereof shall be computed on the basis of the aggregate number of shares of the Series A Preferred Stock so surrendered.

A-17

10. Liquidation Rights.

(a) Voluntary or Involuntary Liquidation. In the event of any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the affairs of the Corporation, whether voluntary or involuntary, prior to the Conversion Date, each Holder of shares of Series A Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive for each share of Series A Preferred Stock, out of the assets of the Corporation or proceeds thereof (whether capital, surplus or other) available for distribution to shareholders of the Corporation, subject to the rights of any creditors of the Corporation, before any distribution of such assets or proceeds is made to or set aside for the holders of Common Stock and any other Junior Stock of the Corporation, payment in full in an amount equal to the sum of (i) Liquidation Amount per share of Series A Preferred Stock and (ii) any declared and unpaid dividends on such share to the extent provided in Section 4 (all such amounts collectively, the “Liquidation Preference”).

(b) Partial Payment. If any distribution described in Section 10(a) of the Corporation’s assets or the proceeds thereof are not sufficient to pay in full the amounts payable with respect to all outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock and the corresponding amounts payable with respect of any other Corporation capital stock ranking equally with Series A Preferred Stock as to such distribution, Holders of Series A Preferred Stock and the holders of such other stock shall share ratably in any such distribution in proportion to the full respective distributions (including, if applicable, dividends on such amount) to which they are entitled.

(c) Residual Distributions. If the Liquidation Preference has been paid in full to all Holders of Series A Preferred Stock and the corresponding amounts payable with respect of any other Corporation capital stock ranking equally with Series A Preferred Stock as to such distribution has been paid in full, the Holders of the Series A Preferred Stock will have no right or claim to any of the remaining assets of the Corporation (or the proceeds thereof).

(d) Merger, Consolidation and Sale of Assets Not a Liquidation. For purposes of this Section 10, a Reorganization Event, including, without limitation, the merger or consolidation of the Corporation with any other corporation or other entity, including a merger or consolidation in which the Holders of shares of Series A Preferred Stock receive cash, securities or other property for their shares, or the sale, lease, or exchange (for cash, securities or other property) or pledge of all or substantially all of the assets of the Corporation, shall not constitute a liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation.

11. No Sinking Fund, etc. The shares of Series A Preferred Stock will not be subject to any mandatory redemption, sinking fund or other similar provisions. Holders of shares of Series A Preferred Stock will have no right to require the Corporation to redeem or repurchase any shares of Series A Preferred Stock.

12. Status of Repurchased Shares. Shares of Series A Preferred Stock that are converted into Common Stock or repurchased or otherwise acquired by the Corporation shall revert to authorized but unissued shares of Preferred Stock undesignated as to series (provided that any such cancelled shares of Series A Preferred Stock may be reissued only as shares of any series of Preferred Stock other than Series A Preferred Stock).

A-18

(ii) Amendment of Series A Preferred Stock. Any amendment, alteration or repeal of any provision of the Articles or these Articles of Amendment thereto (including, unless no vote on such merger, consolidation or other transaction is required by clause (iii) below, any amendment, alteration or repeal by means of a merger, consolidation or otherwise) so as to adversely affect the rights, preferences, privileges or voting powers of shares of Series A Preferred Stock; provided further, however, that for all purposes of this Section 13(b), the creation and issuance, or an increase in the authorized or issued amount, whether pursuant to preemptive or similar rights or otherwise, of any other series of Preferred Stock, or any securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for any other series of Preferred Stock, ranking equally with and/or junior to Series A Preferred Stock with respect to the payment of dividends (whether such dividends are cumulative or noncumulative) and the distribution of assets upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation will not be deemed to adversely affect the rights, preferences, privileges or voting powers, and shall not require the affirmative vote or consent of, the Holders of outstanding shares of the Series A Preferred Stock.

(c) Procedures for Voting and Consents. The rules and procedures for calling and conducting any meeting of the Holders of Series A Preferred Stock (including, without limitation, the fixing of a record date in connection therewith), the solicitation and use of proxies at such a meeting, the obtaining of written consents and any other aspect or matter with regard to such a meeting or such consents shall be governed by any rules of the Board of Directors, in its discretion, may adopt from time to time, which rules and procedures shall conform to the requirements of the Corporation’s Articles, the Corporation’s Bylaws and applicable law and the rules of Nasdaq or any national securities exchange or other trading facility, if any, on which Series A Preferred Stock is listed or traded at the time.

All notices or communications in respect of Series A Preferred Stock shall be sufficiently given if given in writing and delivered in person, by overnight courier, or by first class mail, postage prepaid, or if given in such other manner as may be permitted in these Articles of Amendment, in the Articles or Bylaws or by applicable law. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if shares of Series A Preferred Stock are issued in book-entry form through DTC or any similar facility, such notices may be given to the Holders of Series A Preferred Stock in any manner permitted by or customarily used by such facility and its participants.

16. No Preemptive Rights; No Redemption Rights.

ARTICLE III

Capital Stock

A. Authorized Shares

The aggregate number of shares of all classes which the Corporation has authority to issue is 200,002,000, of which 200,000,000 are to be common shares, $0.01 par value per share, and of which 2,000 are to be preferred shares, $0.01 par value per share. The Board of Directors of the Corporation, without stockholder action, may, by adoption of an amendment of these Articles: (i) classify any unissued shares into one or more classes or into one or more series within one or more classes; (ii) reclassify any unissued shares of any class into one or more classes or into one or more series within one or more classes; or (iii) reclassify any unissued shares of any series of any class into one or more classes or into one or more series within one or more classes.

B. Common Stock

1. The shares of common stock that the Corporation shall have authority to issue shall consist of:

a. One hundred twenty million (120,000,000) shares of common stock (“Common Stock”);

b. Five million (5,000,000) shares of nonvoting common stock (“Nonvoting Common Stock”); and

c. Seventy five million (75,000,000) shares of common stock not designated as part of a class or series pursuant to this Article III or any other provision of these Articles of Incorporation (“Undesignated Common Stock”).

B-2

2. Undesignated Common Stock may be issued from time to time in one or more additional classes or series. The Board of Directors may determine, in whole or in part, the preferences, voting powers, qualifications and special or relative rights or privileges of any such class or series before the issuance of any shares of that class or series. The Board of Directors shall determine the number of shares constituting each class or series of Undesignated Common Stock and each class or series shall have a distinguishing designation.

3. The Corporation may issue rights, options or warrants for the purchase of shares or other securities of the Corporation. The Board of Directors shall have the power to authorize, without any action by the stockholders, the issuance of rights, options or warrants and determine (i) the terms upon which the rights, options or warrants are issued and (ii) the terms, including the consideration for which the shares or other securities are to be issued. The authorization for the Corporation to issue such rights, options or warrants constitutes authorization of the issuance of the shares or other securities for which the rights, options or warrants are exercisable.

4. Nonvoting Common Stock

Except as set forth in this subsection 4, the Common Stock and the Nonvoting Common Stock shall have the same rights and privileges, share ratably in all assets of the Corporation upon its liquidation, dissolution or winding-up, be entitled to receive dividends in the same amount per share and at the same time when, as and if declared by the Corporation’s board of directors, and be identical in all other respects as to all other matters, except voting.

(a) The holders of Nonvoting Common Stock shall have no voting rights except as required by the Virginia Stock Corporation Act. Notwithstanding the foregoing, and in addition to any other vote required by law, the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of Nonvoting Common Stock, voting separately as a class, shall be required to amend the Corporation’s Articles of Incorporation, as amended, to adversely affect the designation, preferences, limitations or relative rights of all or part of the shares of Nonvoting Common Stock. Where shares of Nonvoting Common Stock are entitled to vote, each holder of Nonvoting Common Stock shall have one vote in respect of each share of Nonvoting Common Stock held of record solely on the matters as to which such shares are entitled to vote and subject to the rights and limitations specified by the Virginia Stock Corporation Act.

(b) In the event of any stock split, combination or other reclassification of shares of either the Common Stock or the Nonvoting Common Stock, the outstanding shares of the other class shall be proportionately split, combined or reclassified in a similar manner; provided, however, that in any such transaction, holders of Common Stock shall receive only shares of Common Stock in respect of their shares of Common Stock and holders of Nonvoting Common Stock shall receive only shares of Nonvoting Common Stock in respect of their shares of Nonvoting Common Stock.

(c) No transfer of shares of Nonvoting Common Stock by the initial holder thereof shall be permitted, except (i) in a Permitted Transfer, (ii) to an Affiliate of the initial holder of the Nonvoting Common Stock to be transferred or (iii) to the Corporation. A “Permitted Transfer” means a transfer by a holder of Nonvoting Common Stock (i) in a widespread public distribution; (ii) in which no transferee (or group of associated transferees) would receive two percent (2%) or more of any class of voting securities of the Corporation; or (iii) to a transferee that would control more than fifty percent (50%) of the voting securities of the Corporation without any transfer from such holder of Nonvoting Common Stock. “Affiliate” means, with respect to any person, any person directly or indirectly, controlling, controlled by or under common control with, such other person. Each share of Nonvoting Common Stock shall be converted automatically into one share of Common Stock incident to a transfer of such share of Nonvoting Common Stock to a transferee in a Permitted Transfer. The issuance of certificates, if any, for shares of Common Stock upon conversion of Nonvoting Common Stock shall be made without charge to the holders of such shares for any issuance tax in respect thereof or other cost incurred by the Corporation in connection with such conversion and the related issuance. The Corporation shall cooperate with the timely conversion of Nonvoting Common Stock subject to compliance with applicable law and regulations.

B-3

(d) The Corporation shall at all times reserve and keep available out of its authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock or shares held in treasury for the Corporation, such number of its shares of Common Stock as shall from time to time be sufficient to effect the conversion of all outstanding shares of Nonvoting Common Stock.

(e) In the event of any merger, consolidation, reclassification or other transaction in which the shares of Common Stock are exchanged for or changed into other stock or securities, cash and/or any other property, each share of Nonvoting Common Stock will at the same time be similarly exchanged or changed in an amount per whole share equal to the aggregate amount of stock, securities, cash and/or any other property (payable in kind), as the case may be, that each share of Common Stock would be entitled to receive as a result of such transaction, provided that at the election of the holder of shares of Nonvoting Common Stock, any securities issued with respect to the Nonvoting Common Stock shall be nonvoting under the resulting institution’s organizational documents to the same extent as the Nonvoting Common Stock is nonvoting and the Corporation shall make appropriate provisions (in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the holders of a majority of the Nonvoting Common Stock then outstanding) and take such other actions necessary to ensure that the holders of the Nonvoting Common Stock shall retain securities with substantially the same rights and benefits, including the right to convert nonvoting common stock into common stock, as the Nonvoting Common Stock. Subject to the immediately preceding sentence, in the event the holders of Common Stock are provided the right to convert or exchange Common Stock for stock or securities, cash and/or any other property, then the holders of the Nonvoting Common Stock shall be provided the same right based upon the number of shares of Common Stock such holders would be entitled to receive if such shares of Nonvoting Common Stock were converted into shares of Common Stock immediately prior to such offering. In the event that the Corporation offers to repurchase shares of Common Stock from its shareholders generally, the Corporation shall offer to repurchase Nonvoting Common Stock pro rata based upon the number of shares of Common Stock such holders would be entitled to receive if such shares were converted into shares of Common Stock immediately prior to such repurchase. In the event of any pro rata subscription offer, rights offer or similar offer to holders of Common Stock, the Corporation shall provide the holders of the Nonvoting Common Stock the right to participate based upon the number of shares of Common Stock such holders would be entitled to receive if such shares were converted into shares of Common Stock immediately prior to such offering; provided that at the election of such holder, any shares issued with respect to the Nonvoting Common Stock shall be issued in the form of Nonvoting Common Stock rather than Common Stock.

B-4

C. Preferred Stock

The Board of Directors of the Corporation, without stockholder action, may, by adoption of an amendment of these Articles, provide for the issuance of one or more classes or series of preferred shares and fix the terms, including the preferences, rights and limitations of each such class or series as may be permitted by the Virginia Stock Corporation Act. Except as provided in these Articles, there shall be no cumulative voting of any preferred stock in the election of directors.

D. Preemptive Rights

No holder of any shares of any class or series or any other securities of the Corporation, whether now or hereafter authorized, shall have any preemptive right to subscribe for or purchase (i) any shares of any class or series or any other securities of the Corporation, (ii) any securities convertible into such shares; or (iii) any options, warrants or rights to purchase such shares or securities convertible into any such shares.

ARTICLE IV

Directors

The term of office of the first class shall expire at the first annual stockholders’ meeting, the term of office of the second class shall expire at the annual stockholders’ meeting one year thereafter, and the term of office of the third class shall expire at the annual stockholders’ meeting two years thereafter, with each director to hold office until his or her successor shall have been duly elected and qualified. At each annual stockholders’ meeting thereafter, directors shall be elected to succeed those directors whose terms expire.

Directors may be removed only with cause and then only by the affirmative vote of the holders of at least 66 2/3% of the shares entitled to vote in the election of directors.

C. Vacancies

Subject to any rights provided in these Articles for holders of any class or series of preferred shares outstanding, any vacancies in the Board of Directors, including vacancies resulting from an increase in the number of directors, may be filled only by a majority vote of the directors then in office, though less than a quorum, and directors so chosen shall hold office for a term expiring at the next annual stockholders’ meeting and until their successors are duly elected and qualified.

Any repeal or modification of the foregoing paragraph by the stockholders of the Corporation shall not adversely affect any right or protection of a director of the Corporation existing at the time of such repeal or modification.

ARTICLE IX

Indemnification

The Corporation shall indemnify to the full extent permitted by law any person made or threatened to be made a party to any action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, by reason of the fact that such person or such person’s testator, intestate, personal representative of spouse is or was a director or officer of the Corporation, is or was a director, officer, trustee, member, stockholder, partner, incorporator or liquidator of a Subsidiary of the Corporation, or serves or served at the request of the Corporation as a director, officer, trustee, member, stockholder, partner, incorporator or liquidator of or in any other capacity for any other enterprise. Expenses, including attorneys’ fees, incurred by any such person in defending any such action, suit or proceeding shall be paid or reimbursed by the Corporation promptly upon demand by such person and, if any such demand is made in advance of the final disposition of any such action, suit or proceeding, promptly upon receipt by the Corporation of an undertaking of such person to repay such expenses if it shall ultimately be determined that such person is not entitled to be indemnified by the Corporation. The rights provided to any person by this Article IX shall be enforceable against the Corporation by such person, who shall be presumed to have relied upon it in serving or continuing to serve as a director or officer or in such other capacity as provided above. In addition, the rights provided to any person by this Article IX shall survive the termination of such person as any such director, officer, trustee, member, stockholder, partner, incorporator or liquidator and, insofar as such person served at the request of the Corporation as a director, officer, trustee, member, stockholder, partner, incorporator or liquidator of or in any other capacity for any other enterprise, shall survive the termination of such request as to service prior to termination of such request. No amendment of this Article IX shall impair the rights of any person arising at any time with respect to events occurring prior to such amendment.

B-7

Notwithstanding anything contained in this Article IX, except for proceedings to enforce rights provided in this Article IX, the Corporation shall not be obligated under this Article IX to provide any indemnification or any payment or reimbursement of expenses to any director, officer or other person in connection with a proceeding (or part thereof) initiated by such person (which shall not include counterclaims or crossclaims initiated by others) unless the Board of Directors has authorized or consented to such proceeding (or part thereof) in a resolution adopted by the board.

For purposes of this Article IX, the term “Subsidiary” shall mean any corporation, partnership, limited liability company or other entity in which the Corporation owns, directly or indirectly, a majority of the economic or voting ownership interest; the term “other enterprise” shall include any corporation, partnership, limited liability company, joint venture, trust, association or other unincorporated organization or other entity and any employee benefit plan; the term “officer,” when used with respect to the Corporation, shall refer to any officer elected or appointed pursuant to the Corporation’s Bylaws, when used with respect to a Subsidiary or other enterprise that is a corporation, shall refer to any person elected or appointed pursuant to the bylaws of such Subsidiary or other enterprise or chosen in such manner as is prescribed by the bylaws of such Subsidiary or other enterprise or determined by the board of directors of such Subsidiary or other enterprise, and when used with respect to a Subsidiary or other enterprise that is not a corporation or is organized in a foreign jurisdiction, the term “officer” shall include in addition to any officer of such entity, any person serving in a similar capacity or as the manager of such entity; service “at the request of the Corporation” shall include service as a director or officer of the Corporation which imposes duties on, or involves services by, such director or officer with respect to an employee benefit plan, its participants or beneficiaries; any excise taxes assessed on a person with respect to an employee benefit plan shall be deemed to be indemnifiable expenses; and action by a person with respect to an employee benefit plan which such person reasonably believes to be in the interest of the participants and beneficiaries of such plan shall be deemed to be action not opposed to the best interests of the Corporation.

To the extent authorized from time to time by the Board of Directors, the Corporation may provide to (i) any one or more employees and other agents of the Corporation, (ii) any one or more officers, employees and other agents of any Subsidiary and (iii) any one or more directors, officers, employees and other agents of any other enterprise, rights of indemnification and to receive payment or reimbursement of expenses, including attorneys’ fees, that are similar to the rights conferred in this Article IX on directors and officers of the Corporation or any Subsidiary or other enterprise. Any such rights shall have the same force and effect as they would have if they were conferred in this Article IX.

Nothing in this Article IX shall limit the power of the Corporation or the Board of Directors to provide rights of indemnification and to make payment and reimbursement of expenses, including attorneys’ fees, to directors, officers, employees, agents and other persons otherwise than pursuant to this Article IX.
