You are cordially invited to attend the 2009 Annual Meeting of Shareholders of Middleburg Financial Corporation (the “Company”) to be held on Wednesday, April 22, 2009, at 10:00 a.m. at the Middleburg Community Center, 300 West Washington Street, Middleburg, Virginia.

At the Annual Meeting, you will be asked to elect 12 directors for terms of one year each. You will also be asked to consider and approve a non-binding resolution to endorse of the Company’s executive compensation program. Enclosed with this letter are a formal notice of the Annual Meeting, a Proxy Statement and a form of proxy.

Whether or not you plan to attend the Annual Meeting, it is important that your shares be represented and voted. Please complete, sign, date and return the enclosed proxy promptly using the enclosed postage-paid envelope. The enclosed proxy, when returned properly executed, will be voted in the manner directed in the proxy.

The Annual Meeting of Shareholders (the “Annual Meeting”) of Middleburg Financial Corporation (the “Company”) will be held on Wednesday, April 22, 2009, at 10:00 a.m. at the Middleburg Community Center, 300 West Washington Street, Middleburg, Virginia, for the following purposes:

RESOLVED, that the shareholders approve the compensation of executive officers as disclosed in this proxy statement pursuant to the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Only holders of shares of Common Stock of record at the close of business on March 17, 2009, the record date fixed by the Board of Directors of the Company, are entitled to notice of, and to vote at, the Annual Meeting.

The proxy statement and the Company’s 2008 annual report on Form 10-K are available at www.middleburgbank.com/2009proxy.

This Proxy Statement is furnished to holders of the common stock, par value $2.50 per share (“Common Stock”), of Middleburg Financial Corporation (the “Company”), in connection with the solicitation of proxies by the Board of Directors of the Company to be used at the 2009 Annual Meeting of Shareholders (the “Annual Meeting”) to be held on Wednesday, April 22, 2009, at 10:00 a.m. at the Middleburg Community Center, 300 West Washington Street, Middleburg, Virginia, and any duly reconvened meeting after adjournment thereof.

Any shareholder who executes a proxy has the power to revoke it at any time by written notice to the Secretary of the Company, by executing a proxy dated as of a later date, or by voting in person at the Annual Meeting. It is expected that this Proxy Statement and the enclosed proxy card will be mailed on or about March 23, 2009 to all shareholders entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting.

The cost of soliciting proxies for the Annual Meeting will be borne by the Company. The Company does not intend to solicit proxies otherwise than by use of the mail, but certain officers and regular employees of the Company or its subsidiaries, without additional compensation, may use their personal efforts, by telephone or otherwise, to obtain proxies. The Company may also reimburse banks, brokerage firms and other custodians, nominees and fiduciaries for their reasonable out-of-pocket expenses in forwarding proxy materials to the beneficial owners of shares of Common Stock.

On March 17, 2009, the record date for determining those shareholders entitled to notice of and to vote at the Annual Meeting, there were 4,534,317 shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding. Each outstanding share of Common Stock is entitled to one vote on all matters to be acted upon at the Annual Meeting. A majority of the shares of Common Stock entitled to vote, represented in person or by proxy, constitutes a quorum for the transaction of business at the Annual Meeting.

A shareholder may abstain or (only with respect to the election of directors) withhold his or her vote (collectively, “Abstentions”) with respect to each item submitted for shareholder approval. Abstentions will be counted for purposes of determining the existence of a quorum. Abstentions will not be counted as voting in favor of or against the relevant item.

A broker who holds shares in “street name” has the authority to vote on certain items when it has not received instructions from the beneficial owner. Except for certain items for which brokers are prohibited from exercising their discretion, a broker is entitled to vote on matters presented to shareholders without instructions from the beneficial owner. “Broker shares” that are voted on at least one matter will be counted for purposes of determining the existence of a quorum for the transaction of business at the Annual Meeting. Where brokers do not have or do not exercise such discretion, the inability or failure to vote is referred to as a “broker nonvote.” Under the circumstances where the broker is not permitted to, or does not, exercise its discretion, assuming proper disclosure to the Company of such inability to vote, broker nonvotes will not be counted as voting in favor of or against the particular matter.

The Board of Directors is not aware of any matters other than those described in this Proxy Statement that may be presented for action at the Annual Meeting. However, if other matters do properly come before the Annual Meeting, the persons named in the enclosed proxy card possess discretionary authority to vote in accordance with their best judgment with respect to such other matters.

Twelve directors will be elected at the Annual Meeting. The individuals listed below are nominated by the Board of Directors for election at the Annual Meeting. Millicent W. West and J. Lynn Cornwell, who had been directors since 1975 and 1984, respectively, announced in February 2009 that they would retire and thus not stand for re-election at the Annual Meeting.

The election of each nominee for director requires the affirmative vote of the holders of a plurality of the shares of Common Stock cast in the election of directors. If the proxy is executed in such manner as not to withhold authority for the election of any or all of the nominees for directors, then the persons named in the proxy will vote the shares represented by the proxy for the election of the 12 nominees named below. If the proxy indicates that the shareholder wishes to withhold a vote from one or more nominees for director, such instructions will be followed by the persons named in the proxy.

Each nominee has consented to being named in this Proxy Statement and has agreed to serve if elected. The Board of Directors has no reason to believe that any of the nominees will be unable or unwilling to serve. If, at the time of the Annual Meeting, any nominee is unable or unwilling to serve as a director, votes will be cast, pursuant to the enclosed proxy, for such substitute nominee as may be nominated by the Board of Directors. There are no current arrangements between any nominee and any other person pursuant to which a nominee was selected. No family relationships exist among any of the directors or between any of the directors and executive officers of the Company.

The following table sets forth, as of February 28, 2009, certain information with respect to the beneficial ownership of shares of Common Stock by each person who owns, to the Company’s knowledge, more than five percent of the outstanding shares of Common Stock.

Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), requires the Company’s directors and executive officers, and any persons who own more than 10% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock, to file with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) reports of ownership and changes in ownership of Common Stock. Directors and executive officers are required by SEC regulations to furnish the Company with copies of all Section 16(a) reports that they file. Based solely on review of the copies of such reports furnished to the Company or written representation that no other reports were required, the Company believes that, during the 2008 year, all filing requirements applicable to its officers and directors were complied with.

The business and affairs of the Company are managed under the direction of the Board of Directors in accordance with the Virginia Stock Corporation Act and the Company’s Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws, as amended. Members of the Board are kept informed of the Company’s business through discussions with the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer and other officers, by reviewing materials provided to them and by participating in meetings of the Board of Directors and its committees.

The Board of Directors has determined that the following 12 individuals of its total 14 members are independent as defined by the listing standards of the Nasdaq Stock Market (“Nasdaq”): Mrs. West, Mrs. Neuharth and Messrs. Armfield, Atherton, Burden, Cornwell, Davis, Green, LeClair, Lee, Meurlin, and Treptow. In reaching this conclusion, the Board of Directors considered that the Company and its subsidiary bank conduct business with companies of which certain members of the Board of Directors or members of their immediate families are or were directors or officers. All directors not standing for reelection in 2009 were also determined to be independent during 2008.

The Board of Directors considered the following relationships between the Company and certain of its directors to determine whether such director was independent under Nasdaq’s listing standards:

The Executive Committee of the Board of Directors has approved a Code of Business Conduct and Ethics for directors, officers and all employees of the Company and its subsidiaries, and an addendum to the Code of Ethics applicable to all of the Company’s executive officers including the Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer and other principal financial officers. The Code addresses such topics as protection and proper use of Company assets, compliance with applicable laws and regulations, accuracy and preservation of records, accounting and financial reporting and conflicts of interest. Requests for a copy of the Company’s Code of Ethics may be sent to ir@middleburgbank.com or by visiting the Company’s website at www.middleburgbank.com.

There were 11 meetings of the Board of Directors in 2008. Each incumbent director attended greater than 75% of the aggregate number of meetings of the Board of Directors and meetings of committees of which the director was a member in 2008.

Non-employee directors meet periodically outside of regularly scheduled Board meetings. The Company held one meeting of the independent directors in 2008. J. Lynn Cornwell, Jr. served as “first director” and oversaw the meeting.

The Audit Committee assists the Board of Directors in fulfilling its oversight responsibility to the shareholders relating to the integrity of the Company’s financial statements, the Company’s compliance with legal and regulatory requirements and the qualifications, independence and the performance of the internal audit function. During 2008, the Company outsourced the majority of its internal audit function to an independent public accounting firm that specializes in financial institutions. The Audit Committee is directly responsible for the appointment, compensation, retention and oversight of the work of both the Company’s Risk Management Officer and the independent auditor engaged for the purpose of preparing and issuing an audit report and performing other audit, review or attestation services for the Company. The Board of Directors has adopted a written charter for the Audit Committee. Requests for a copy of the Company’s Audit Committee Charter may be sent to ir@middleburgbank.com or by visiting the Company’s website at www.middleburgbank.com.

The members of the Audit Committee are Mrs. Neuharth and Messrs. Armfield, Atherton, Davis and LeClair, all of whom the Board in its business judgment has determined are independent as defined by Nasdaq’s listing standards. 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. Armfield qualifies as an audit committee financial expert as defined by SEC regulations.

The Audit Committee met four times in 2008. For additional information regarding the Audit Committee, see “Audit Information – Audit Committee Report” on page 35 of this Proxy Statement.

The Compensation Committee reviews the Chief Executive Officer’s performance and compensation and reviews and sets guidelines for compensation of the other executive officers. In carrying out its responsibilities, the Compensation Committee annually reviews the recommendations made by the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer for the compensation of the President and CFO and includes a recommendation for himself, and thereby establishes the compensation of the Company’s top three executive officers. The Compensation Committee may annually approve, with assistance from an independent consultant, the issuance of stock grants and other compensation related matters.

The members of the Compensation Committee are Mrs. West and Messrs. Armfield, Burden, Cornwell, Davis and Lee. The Board of Directors in its business judgment has determined that all members are independent as defined by Nasdaq’s listing standards. The Compensation Committee met eight times in 2008. For additional information regarding the Compensation Committee, see “Executive Compensation” on page 11 of this Proxy Statement. Requests for a copy of the Company’s Compensation Committee Charter may be sent to ir@middleburgbank.com or by visiting the Company’s website at www.middleburgbank.com.

The Governance Committee consists of Mrs. West and Messrs. Armfield, Boling, Burden, Cornwell, Green, Lee and Treptow. The Governance Committee is called, as necessary, to consider any matters that arise between regularly scheduled Board of Directors’ meetings that require a quorum of the Board members, but when the Company’s full Board of Directors is unable to meet. The Governance Committee met four times in 2008.

The Investment Committee consists of Messrs. Boling, Burden, Meurlin, Shook and Treptow. The Investment Committee meets with management to review the Company’s investment strategy. The Investment Committee met three times in 2008.

The Nominating Committee consists of Mrs. Neuharth and Messrs. Armfield, Atherton, Green, Lee and Meurlin. The Board of Directors in its business judgment has determined that all members are independent as defined by Nasdaq’s listing standards. The Nominating Committee nominates the individuals proposed for election as directors in accordance with the Company’s Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws. The Nominating Committee does not have a charter. The Nominating Committee met one time in 2008.

In identifying potential nominees, the Nominating Committee takes into account such factors as it deems appropriate, including the current composition of the Board, the range of talents, experiences and skills that would best complement those that are already represented on the Board, the balance of management and independent directors and the need for specialized expertise. The Nominating Committee considers candidates for Board membership suggested by Board members and by management, and the Nominating Committee will also consider candidates suggested informally by a shareholder of the Company.

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

Shareholders entitled to vote for the election of directors may submit candidates for formal consideration by the Nominating Committee in connection with an annual meeting if the Company 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 by the Company. To be timely for the 2010 annual meeting, the notice must be received within the time frame set forth in “Proposals for 2010 Annual Meeting of Shareholders” on page 36 of this Proxy Statement. 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 Section 2.5 of the Company’s Bylaws, a copy of which will be provided, without charge, to any shareholder upon written request to the Secretary of the Company, whose address is Middleburg Financial Corporation, 111 West Washington Street, Middleburg, Virginia, 20117.

Under the current process for selecting new Board candidates, the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, the Nominating Committee or other Board members identify the need to add a new Board member with specific qualifications or to fill a vacancy on the Board. The Chairman of the Nominating Committee will initiate a search, working with staff support and seeking input from Board members and senior management, hiring a search firm, if necessary, and considering any candidates suggested informally or recommended by shareholders. An initial slate of candidates that will satisfy criteria and otherwise qualify for membership on the Board may be presented to the Nominating Committee. A determination is made as to whether the Nominating Committee members or Board members have relationships with preferred candidates and can initiate contacts. The Chairman and Chief Executive Officer and at least one member of the Nominating Committee interview prospective candidates. The Nominating Committee meets to conduct additional interviews of prospective candidates, if necessary, and to consider and recommend final candidates for approval by the full Board of Directors.

The Company encourages members of the Board of Directors to attend the annual meeting of shareholders. All but one of the directors attended the 2008 annual meeting.

Any director may be contacted by writing to him or her c/o Middleburg Financial Corporation, 111 West Washington Street, Middleburg, Virginia 20117. Communications to the non-management directors as a group may be sent to the same address, c/o the Secretary of the Company. The Company promptly forwards, without screening, all such correspondence to the indicated directors.

As compensation for his or her service to the Company, each member of the Board of Directors receives a fee of $600 for each meeting of the Board, $400 for each loan committee meeting and $350 for other board committee meetings attended.

The following table shows the compensation earned by each of the nonemployee directors during 2008:

The Compensation Committee has reviewed the Compensation Discussion and Analysis included in this proxy statement and discussed it with the Company’s management. Based on this review and discussion, the Compensation Committee recommended that the Compensation Discussion and Analysis be included in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008 and this Proxy Statement.

The Company is participating in the Troubled Asset Relief Program (“TARP”) established by the U.S. Department of the Treasury (the “Treasury”) under the Emergency Economic Stabilization Act of 2008 (“EESA”) as a result of its sale of preferred stock of stock to the Treasury.

As required by the TARP and by the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (“ARRA”), the Compensation Committee has undertaken a review of compensation programs in coordination with the Company’s senior risk officer and outside compensation consultant. This process included a review of the overall competitiveness of compensation and mix of compensation elements used in our overall executive compensation program, our Management Incentive and Equity Incentive Plan, as well as incentive compensation plans provided to non-executive officers.

The Compensation Committee certifies that it has reviewed with our senior risk officer the TARP senior executive officer’s incentive compensation arrangements for 2008 and made reasonable efforts to ensure that such arrangements do not encourage our senior executive officers to take unnecessary and excessive risks that threaten the value of our company. In addition, the Compensation Committee has worked with our senior risk officer and outside compensation consultant to review the bonus and incentive plans of all Company employees and made reasonable efforts to ensure that these plans do not encourage manipulation of the reported earnings of the Company in order to enhance the compensation of any of our employees.

No member of the Compensation Committee is a current or former officer or employee of the company or any of our subsidiaries. In addition, there are no compensation committee interlocks with other entities with respect to any such member.

The Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors, which is composed of six non-employee directors of the Company, is responsible for the development, oversight and implementation of the Company’s compensation program for executive officers, including the executive officers named in the

Summary Compensation Table. The Committee consists entirely of non-employee, independent members of our Board of Directors and operates under a written charter approved by the Board of Directors.

The primary objective of the Company’s executive compensation program is to attract and retain highly skilled and motivated executive officers who will manage the Company in a manner to promote its profitable growth and advance the interest of its shareholders. As such, the compensation program is designed to provide levels of compensation that are reflective of both the individual’s and the Company’s performance in achieving its goals and objectives. The Compensation Committee seeks to provide a mix of annual and long-term compensation that will align the short- and long-term interests of the Company’s executive officers with that of its shareholders.

In January 2008, the Compensation Committee continued to engage a consultant from CapTrust Executive Benefits to assist it in carrying out its responsibilities with respect to executive compensation. For 2008, the consultant was responsible for providing peer group data, designing the 2008 Management Incentive Plan and advising the Committee on executive equity compensation. During the fourth quarter of 2008, the Committee also engaged a consultant from the Consulting Services Division of Silverton Bank to act as an independent advisor to the Committee and provide additional analysis and assistance.

In carrying out its responsibilities and objectives, the Compensation Committee annually reviews the recommendations made by the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer for the compensation of the top three executive officers, which includes a recommendation for himself, and thereby establishes the compensation of these executive officers. Both the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer and the members of the Compensation Committee are provided peer group compensation data for consideration and review in determining executive compensation levels. Additionally, the Committee may confer independently with its consultant prior to accepting management recommendations.

In 2008, the Compensation Committee established executive base salaries and approved annual cash bonuses and awarded long-term incentives.

Information on the Compensation Committee’s processes and procedures for the consideration and determination of executive and director compensation is included under the caption “Corporate Governance and the Board of Directors – Committees of the Board – Compensation Committee.”

The primary objective of our executive compensation program is to attract and retain highly skilled and motivated executive officers who will manage us in a manner to promote our growth and profitability and advance the interest of our shareholders. Additional objectives of our executive compensation program are the following:

Our executive compensation program consists of base salaries, annual cash incentive payments in the form of annual bonuses and long-term equity incentives in the form of stock-based awards. These components of executive compensation are used together to strike an appropriate balance between cash and stock compensation and between short-term and long-term incentives. As discussed with our consultant, the targeted mix of cash and equity-based pay for executives will be generally weighted 65% for base salary, 20% for annual incentives and 15% for long term equity-based incentives. The

Compensation Committee believed this compensation mix to be both appropriate to meet the Company’s executive compensation philosophy and competitive from a peer group standpoint.

We expect a reasonable and competitive portion of an executive officer’s total compensation to be at risk, tied both to our annual and long-term performance as well as to the creation of shareholder value. In particular, we believe that short-term annual cash incentive compensation should be tied directly to both corporate performance and individual performance for the fiscal year, including the achievement of identified goals as they pertain to the areas of our operations for which the executive officer is personally responsible and accountable. In contrast, we believe that the value of long-term incentive compensation should be tied directly to long-term corporate performance and an increase in shareholder value.

We differentiate compensation among executive officers based on the philosophy that total compensation should increase with an executive officer’s position and responsibility and that a greater percentage of total compensation should be tied to corporate and individual performance, and therefore at risk, as position and responsibility increase. Thus, executive officers with greater roles and responsibilities associated with achieving our performance targets should bear a greater proportion of the risk that those goals are not achieved and should receive a greater proportion of the reward if our performance targets are met or surpassed. In addition, as an executive officer’s position and responsibility increases, the use of long-term incentive compensation should increase where our executive officers have the greatest influence on our strategic performance over time.

We currently have no executive stock ownership guidelines, but presentations from consultants followed by discussions did occur during 2008 with directions for further review and determination to occur in 2009. In addition, we are implementing an incentive clawback policy in compliance with Title VII of the ARRA. This policy will require that senior executive officers and the next 20 highest paid officers repay incentive payments and awards based on materially inaccurate financial statements or any other materially inaccurate performance metric criteria.

The Compensation Committee generally meets quarterly to review our executive compensation program and its elements. At meetings, it also reviews peer group data provided by our executive compensation consultant.

In determining the compensation of our executive officers, the Committee evaluates total overall compensation, including benefits, as well as the mix of salary, cash bonus incentives and equity incentives, using a number of factors including the following:

With respect to comparative industry data, the Compensation Committee reviews executive salaries and evaluates compensation structures and the financial performance of comparable companies in a designated peer group established by the Compensation Committee, with assistance from its executive compensation consultant. The peer group used for comparison purposes focuses principally on public

companies in the banking industry that are similar to us in size and complexity or companies with similar market capitalizations and other characteristics.

In 2008, the Compensation Committee identified a peer group against which to compare the Company. Additionally, the independent consultant compiled salary data from proxy statements from commercial banks and from market survey data. The Compensation Committee used both sources of information when considering 2008 levels of base salary for executive officers.

The elements of the executive compensation program in 2008 included base annual salary, short-term incentive compensation under our 2008 Management Incentive Plan and long-term incentives using stock-based awards under our 2006 Equity Compensation Plan.

We provide certain retirement benefits through supplemental executive retirement plans and our 401(k) savings plan. We also provide health and welfare benefits that include participation in our health, dental and vision plans and various insurance plans, including disability and life insurance.

Each of the three principal components of executive compensation is designed to reward and provide incentives to executive officers consistent with our overall policies and principles on executive compensation. These components and the rationale and methodology for each are described below. Specific information on the amounts and types of compensation earned by the named executive officers during 2008 can be found in the Summary Compensation Table and other tables and narrative disclosures following this discussion.

Our base salary philosophy is to provide reasonable current income to our named executive officers in amounts that will attract and retain individuals with a broad, proven track record of performance.

The Compensation Committee establishes annual salary ranges for each executive officer position. In establishing these ranges, the Compensation Committee balances the need to offer salaries that are competitive with peer companies with the need to maintain careful control of salary and benefits expense. As described above, the Compensation Committee also reviews peer group data, prepared by an independent consulting firm, of commercial banks that are similarly situated to us in terms of size, economic conditions and other factors. Based upon the review of the peer group data provided and his performance assessments, the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of the Company recommends base salaries for himself, the President and the Chief Financial Officer to the Compensation Committee for

approval. The President recommends base salaries for other executives to the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer and reports the new salaries to the Compensation Committee.

In making compensation determinations for 2008, the Compensation Committee evaluated the performance of the CEO, President and CFO based on our financial performance, achievements in implementing our long-term strategy, and the personal observations of the executive officers’ performance by the members of the Compensation Committee. The increases to base salaries were recommended by the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer to the Compensation Committee with consideration of the executives’ performance and the peer group data. No particular weight was given to any particular aspects of the performance of the executive officers. Some executives’ salaries, however, were increased more than others in order to get closer to the 65% target level of base salary compensation to total compensation for the executive. Based upon the information conveyed to them, the Committee concluded that the performance of executive officers was commendable.

Mr. Boling, Mr. Moore and Mr. Shook are compensated pursuant to employment agreements, which are described under “Annual Compensation of Executive Officers” below. They are eligible for base salary increases and bonuses as the Compensation Committee may determine.

In making this determination for the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer for 2008, the Compensation Committee evaluated the performance of the Chief Executive Officer based on our financial performance, achievements in implementing the Bank’s long-term strategy, and the personal observations of the Chief Executive Officer’s performance by the members of the Compensation Committee. As with executive officers generally, the Compensation Committee also considered a salary range evaluation of an independent consulting firm. However, Mr. Boling was awarded a smaller salary increase than other executives to more closely match prevailing salary practices of peer banks.

The annual base salaries for our named executive officers for 2008 and the percentage change from 2007 are as follows:

In 2008, the Compensation Committee approved a Management Incentive Plan (MIP) which targeted levels of executive cash bonuses at 20% of December 31, 2008 of total compensation. Management Incentive Plan participants include the Chairman and CEO, President, CFO, Chief Lending Officer, SVP HR, COO, SVP Retail Sales and Marketing and the President of Middleburg Investment Group. The President of Middleburg Investment Advisors (MIA) did not participate in the MIP or any incentive plan in 2008.

Executive officers currently have the opportunity to earn an annual bonus up to a predetermined percentage of total compensation based on achievement of company operating or consolidated performance goals. In addition to promoting the achievement of corporate performance goals, the bonus awards are designed to align the interests of executive management into a common objective. The Compensation Committee designed the Management Incentive Plan in first quarter 2008 and officially adopted the 2008 Management Incentive Plan in July 2008.

The 2008 Management Incentive Plan was designed to provide incentive bonuses that would be reasonable in relation to the payment of base salaries and overall compensation to executive officers, to reward executive officers for superior achievement and to be competitive compared with bonuses paid by the peer group established by the Compensation Committee. As a result, in considering the target performance goals for our business, the Compensation Committee considered the potential amounts of bonuses that would be paid at each level in relation to the base salaries and overall compensation of executive officers and the structure and amount of bonuses paid by peer group companies. This review resulted in the Compensation Committee’s determination that 2008 incentive bonus opportunities for the named executive officers should be targeted at approximately 20% of total compensation, determined by utilizing peer group comparator proxies as well as national and industry based surveys and that falls within a range between the 50^th and 75^th percentile of the peer group.

The Compensation Committee approved the plan performance objectives recommended by executive management and the award formula or matrix by which all awards under the 2008 Management Incentive Plan were calculated. The Compensation Committee and the Chief Executive Officer assigned to each executive participant an incentive award target calculated as a percentage of total compensation based on our peer group which would be awarded if the Company and the participant achieve targeted performance goals. The incentive award targets were also considered in conjunction with all other components of executive compensation, as the Compensation Committee sought to tie a larger portion of the executives’ compensation to both corporate and individual performance. Awards are increased when performance exceeds these goals, and awards are decreased when performance falls below these goals. All incentive awards under the 2008 Management Incentive Plan are at the discretion of the Compensation Committee. See Schedule A of the Management Incentive Plan inserted below illustrating the Weighting of Award Percentages Tied to Performance Measures.

	Incentive Award Target	MFC Net Income To Plan (1)	+	MFC ROE To Plan (2)	+	MFC Efficiency Ratio To Plan (3)	+	Overall Avg of Total CAT Goals (4)	Overall Avg Bank Internal Sat Scores (5)		Individual Measures (6)

The financial and operating targets approved by the Compensation Committee for the 2008 Management Incentive Plan were net income, return on average equity (ROE), efficiency ratio (ER), overall total Client Action Team (CAT) net production and deposit goals, overall average of the Internal Satisfaction Survey score and individual operating goals for each executive. For 2008, the Committee approved the following target performance levels: net income of $6,340,000, ROE of 7.65%, and efficiency ratio of 73.54%. The overall CAT net loan production growth goal and deposit growth goal were targeted at $716,967,000 and $592,959,000, respectively; and the overall Internal Satisfaction Survey score was targeted at 87%. For 2008, the Company’s financial performance produced a net income of $2,560,364, ROE of 3.37%, and an efficiency ratio of 75.77%. 2008 CAT net loan production growth was $664,949,000 and actual deposits were $613,680,000 while the overall internal satisfaction score was 89%. With the exception of actual deposit growth the internal satisfaction survey score, actual results on financial and operating objectives were below the established performance ranges for 2008. The Chairman and CEO and President recommended to the Compensation Committee that the Executives receive no payout for their Management Incentive Plan for 2008. The Compensation Committee concurred with that recommendation.

The Compensation Committee may also consider the award of individual bonus amounts to executive officers outside of the 2008 Management Incentive Plan. The Compensation Committee considers but is not bound by the recommendations of the Chief Executive Officer with respect to the payment or amounts of bonuses to Executive Officers. For 2008, the Compensation Committee did not award any individual bonuses to Executive Officers.

The Compensation Committee may provide equity incentives to executive officers through long-term awards. These awards provide executive officers with an opportunity to accumulate our common stock and associated compensation related to that ownership. The goal of the Compensation Committee in granting equity awards is to directly link an executive’s compensation opportunities with shareholder value creation.

The Compensation Committee currently employs multiyear vesting of equity incentive awards. Multiyear vesting focuses executive officers on consistent long-term growth in shareholder value and requires executive officers to remain employed with us for extended periods to receive the full benefit of the awards.

In 2006, we adopted the 2006 Equity Compensation Plan, which permits the grant of stock options, stock appreciation rights, stock awards, performance stock awards, incentive awards and stock units.

The Compensation Committee has determined that the 2008 stock awards to executive officers will generally be in the form of stock grants. The Compensation Committee chose to award stock grants of 15% of total compensation based on benchmark data obtained from our comparator group’s proxies and national and industry based surveys provided by our executive compensation consultant. According to the Compensation Committee’s strategy for stock grants in 2008, stock grants to executives will generally be equally divided between time-vested stock (restricted stock) and performance-vested stock. The time-

vested stock will generally vest over three years on each anniversary of the grant date in the following increments: 25% on the first anniversary date, 25% on the second anniversary date and 50% on the third anniversary date. The performance-vested stock will generally vest at the end of the three-year performance period. The financial goals are weighted equally. The stock grant terms will generally be as follows:

In June 2008, the Compensation Committee awarded time-vested stock (restricted stock) that was 50% of the total equity award equal to 15% of total compensation. The remaining 50% of the total stock grant awarded was performance-vested stock that was granted to the executives in December 2008. Based upon the market value of the stock on the date of grant, June 11, 2008, each executive was awarded a total stock value for restricted stock equivalent to 7.5% of total compensation. For the December 31, 2008 grant which was comprised of performance shares, each executive was granted 7.5% of total compensation. The amount of these awards was set to fall within a range between the 50^th and 75^th percentile of the peer group.

The performance criteria and standards for the 2008 performance-vested stock grant are contingent upon the Company achieving the average of the ROA and ROE of the selected peer group at the end of the three-year performance period. The Committee felt that these forms of compensation achieved the desired balance between executive performance and retention.

The following table reflects the vesting schedule for the December 2008 performance-vested stock grant:

*Award Leverage: Interpolation shall be used when performance falls between identified performance parameters.

Our normal practice with respect to the timing of long-term incentive awards is to grant stock-based awards to executive officers once each year, usually during the first quarter. The restricted stock grants were granted in the earlier part of the year. The Compensation Committee requested the executive compensation consultant to do further research on our peer group regarding their equity plans for their executives. The consultant reported on trends in peer group practice, including the use of time-vested restricted shares and performance shares and the kinds of performance measures used for such grants. The consultant also collected and illustrated peer group financial results compared with Middleburg Bank’s financial results using such measures. The compensation committee approved using our peers’ financial ROA and ROE results and comparing Middleburg’s ROA and ROE performance relative to peers to determine the portion of performance shares that vest at the end of the performance period. As a result of this undertaking this review during 2008, restricted share grants were made in June and performance share grants were made in December.

We are aware that the release of various information, including information related to our financial results, may have an impact on the market price of our common stock, and therefore the value of the stock-based award, depending on whether the information is favorable or unfavorable. Accordingly, we believe that a consistent application of our stock awarding practices from year to year is vital. The stock awarded by the Compensation Committee is designed to create incentives for the creation of long-term shareholder value and contain delayed vesting provisions that prevent recipients of stock awards from taking advantage of short-term fluctuations in the market price of our common stock.

We have not planned in the past, nor do we plan in the future, to time the release of material non-public information for the purpose of affecting the value of executive compensation. We do not have a practice of setting the exercise price of stock awards based on the stock price on any date other than the grant date, nor do we use a formula or any other method to select a price based on a period before, after or surrounding the grant date. Stock awards are granted at the closing price of our common stock on the date of grant.

We believe that non-qualified deferred compensation plays an important role in retaining key executives, as well as helping them provide for retirement. The Committee retained an independent consultant to analyze the total retirement benefits provided by us and Social Security to executives with various amounts of compensation and years of service so that the Committee could determine appropriate non-qualified deferred compensation levels.

Because of limits under our qualified retirement plans on the amount of deferrals that executives can make, and on the amount of defined benefits they can receive, several of our executives can expect to have a lower level of compensation replaced or a lower retirement replacement ratio than that targeted for all other employees. Consequently, as a matter of “pension equity”, the Company has adopted several non-qualified deferred compensation plans. The Compensation Committee oversees these plans and the Compensation Committee considers these plans when reviewing an executive’s total annual compensation and determining the annual and long-term compensation components described above. These plans are described below.

We have a noncontributory pension plan that conforms to the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended. The amount of benefits payable under the plan is determined by an employee’s period of credited service. The amount of normal retirement benefit will be determined based on a participant’s credited service, earnings and the benefit formula as described in the plan’s adoption

agreement. The plan provides for early retirement for participants with 10 years of vesting service and the attainment of age 55. A participant who terminates employment with five or more years of vesting service will be entitled to a benefit. The benefits are payable in single or joint/survivor annuities, as well as a lump sum payment option upon retirement or separation of service (subject to limitations as described in the plan’s adoption agreement).

Compensation under the plan is limited to $230,000 in 2008 by the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. Additional information on the plan is set forth under “Pension Benefits” below.

The noncontributory pension plan was adopted to provide assistance to our employees with meeting their personal post-retirement income requirements.

We have a 401(k) Savings Plan available to all employees. The plan’s primary purpose is to allow employees to save for retirement on a pre-tax basis. The plan provides for matching contributions by us equal to 50% of the first six percent of salary reduction contributions made by the employee. The plan also provides for discretionary profit sharing contributions to be made by us and allocated to participant accounts in proportion to the participant’s compensation.

The 401(k) savings plan was adopted to provide assistance to our employees with meeting their personal post-retirement income requirements.

We adopted Supplemental Executive Retirement Plans (SERPs) for Joseph L. Boling and Arch A. Moore, III, effective in July 2004 and in 2007 for Gary R. Shook. Mr. Boling has a defined benefit SERP. His retirement benefit equals a percentage of final pay, offset by other sources of retirement income. Offset items include the Bank’s qualified retirement plans, an existing deferred compensation plan, and social security. The replacement percentage grows (vests) over a multi-year period.

Mr. Shook and Mr. Moore each have a defined contribution SERP. Each year, we credit to the accounts under such SERP an amount equal the participant’s compensation in excess of the social security wage base times the employer social security contribution percentage and the equivalent amount of matching contributions under our 401(k) plan for compensation in excess of $105,000 (as adjusted under the Internal Revenue Code). Benefits will ultimately be a function of amounts credited to the accounts.

Both the defined benefit and defined contribution SERPs are unfunded for tax purposes; the participants are general creditors of the Bank in the amount of their promised benefits. We, however, have established and funded a so-called “rabbi” trust to help offset the obligations under the SERPs. Beginning in 2006, we made a lump-sum contribution to the rabbi trust to fund benefits under the SERPs. For the fiscal years ended 2008 and 2007, our expense associated with the SERPs was $158,125 and $349,741, respectively.

The Supplemental Executive Retirement Plans were adopted to help provide for the post-retirement financial needs of our executives.

A deferred compensation plan has been adopted for Joseph L. Boling. Benefits are to be paid in monthly installments for 15 years following retirement or death. This plan was funded with Mr. Boling’s elected deferrals of his compensation. The agreement provides that, if employment is terminated for reasons other than death or disability prior to age 65, the amount of benefits would be reduced. The plan

is unfunded. However, life insurance has been acquired on the life of the employee in an amount sufficient to discharge the obligation.

Mr. Boling’s deferred compensation plan was adopted to help provide for his post-retirement financial needs.

Mr. Boling, Ms. Chappell, Mr. Moore, Mr. Shook and Mr. Patterson participate in a Split Dollar Life Insurance Plan. If Mr. Boling dies while employed by the Company, his named beneficiary will receive a death benefit of three-times his annual compensation. If Mr. Moore or Mr. Shook die while employed by the Company, their named beneficiary will receive a death benefit equal to the greater of three-times their annual compensation, or their respective balance under the aforementioned SERP plans. If Ms. Chappell or Mr. Patterson die while employed by the Company, their named beneficiary will receive a death benefit of $200,000. Death benefit obligations under the Plan are supported by life insurance policies insuring the participants and owned by the Company. No benefit is paid under the Plan for a death that occurs after termination of service from the Company.

The Split Dollar Life Insurance Plans were adopted to assist both the Company and the beneficiaries of the executives with any known and unknown financial obligations in the event of the executives’ death during employment with the Company.

We have severance arrangements with the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, President and also the Chief Lending Officer as stated in their employment agreements.

The Compensation Committee believes that the components and the rationale and the methodology of the executive compensation strategy provide each executive with a comprehensive compensation package that is competitive and ultimately rewarding for the executive, the Company and its shareholders.

As discussed below, these severance agreements will be limited by the statutes and regulations that apply to the Company as a consequence of the Company’s participation in TARP. These limitations will only apply so long as the Treasury’s investment in our preferred stock remains outstanding.

In January 2009, the Company elected to participate in TARP. The Company issued shares of its preferred stock in the Treasury in return for $22 million and a warrant to purchase 208,202 shares of our common stock at a price of $15.85 per share.

As a condition to participating in the program, we agreed to several limits on executive compensation. First, our senior executive officers, including Joseph L. Boling, Arch A. Moore, III, James H. Patterson and Gary R. Shook agreed to a limit on severance pay in the event of an involuntary termination of employment. Generally, the limit is three times the executive’s average W-2 compensation in the five calendar years that precede an involuntary termination. Second, our five senior executive officers agreed to a “clawback”, which will require repayment of any bonus or incentive compensation if it is later proven that the payment was based on statements of earnings, gains or other criteria that were materially inaccurate.

We also agreed to exclude incentives for the five senior executive officers to take unnecessary and excessive risks that threaten the value of the Company. Finally, we agreed not to claim any federal income tax deduction for compensation in any year in excess of $500,000 to any senior executive officer.

Before electing to participate in the program, we carefully considered the foregoing limits and concluded that they are not inconsistent with, and would not unduly interfere with, our compensation philosophy or our compensation plans and programs.

On February 17, 2009 President Obama signed the ARRA, which imposes additional compensation restrictions on institutions that participate in TARP. This law requires the Secretary of the Treasury to establish compensation standards, including the following:

The first two of these required standards are substantially the same as those to which we and our senior executive officers agreed before we decided to participate in the Capital Purchase Program. The third standard goes well beyond the Capital Purchase Program requirements in that it completely prohibits most severance payments. This standard is inconsistent with our obligations to Messrs. Boling, Moore and Shook under employment agreements.

Additionally, the ARRA requires the Secretary of the Treasury to prohibit certain bonuses, retention awards and incentive compensation. In our case, we expect that the prohibition would apply to Mr. Boling. It would limit such compensation to one-third of total annual compensation and it could be paid only in the form of restricted stock that does not vest until we have returned all Capital Purchase Program funds to the Treasury.

The Secretary of the Treasury has not issued regulations that implement these provisions of the ARRA. Consequently, it is premature for us to predict how this new law may force us to change our compensation plans and policies.

The ARRA also allows the Treasury, subject to consultation with the appropriate federal banking agency, to permit us to repay any assistance previously provided to us under the TARP, without regard to whether we have replaced such funds from any source, and without regard to any waiting period. If we choose to repay our TARP assistance pursuant to this provision, we would no longer be subject to the executive compensation provisions of the ARRA.

In the tables and discussion below, we summarize the compensation earned during 2008 by (1) our chief executive officer, (2) our chief financial officer and (3) each of our three other most highly compensated executive officers who earned more than $100,000 in total compensation for services rendered in all capacities during 2008, collectively referred to as the “named executive officers.”

We have entered into an employment agreement with Joseph L. Boling. All compensation that we pay to our named executive officers is determined as described above in our “Compensation Discussion and Analysis” section. Salary and bonus earnings comprise between 51% and 100.0% of total 2008 compensation for the above named executive officers.

We entered into an employment contract with Mr. Boling with an initial term that was from January 1, 1998, to December 31, 2002, and it provided for Mr. Boling’s service as Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of both the Company and the Bank. Mr. Boling’s employment contract was for five years at an initial base annual salary of $191,408. Beginning December 31, 2000, and every year thereafter until December 31, 2010, the contract automatically extends for an additional year. Mr. Boling is eligible for base salary increases and bonuses as determined by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors. Mr. Boling’s employment may be terminated by us with or without cause. If he resigns for “good reason” or is terminated without “cause” (as those terms are defined in the employment agreement), however, he is entitled to salary and certain benefits for the greater of the remainder of his contract or 36 months. Additional information on these amounts is provided in “Payments upon

Termination or Change in Control” below. Mr. Boling’s contract also contains a covenant not to compete if his employment terminates for any reason other than a change in control of us.

We entered into an employment contract with Gary R. Shook with an initial term from June 1, 2007 to May 31, 2008, and it provided for Mr. Shook’s service as President of both the Company and the Bank. Mr. Shook’s contract is for one year at the initial base salary of $210,000. Beginning May 31, 2008, and every year thereafter the contract automatically extends for an additional year. Mr. Shook is eligible for base salary increases and bonuses as determined by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors. Mr. Shook’s employment may be terminated by us with or without cause. If he resigns for “good reason” or is terminated without “cause”, he would be entitled to salary and certain benefits for the greater of the remainder of his contract or 24 months for salary and 12 months for benefits. Additional information is provided in “Payments Upon Termination or Change in Control” below. Mr. Shook’s contract also contains a non-compete covenant for 12 months if his employment terminates for any reason other than a change in control of us.

We entered into an initial employment agreement with Arch A. Moore, III, as Chief Lending Officer for both the Company and the Bank from July 1, 2008, to June 30, 2009. Mr. Moore’s contract is for one year at an initial base salary of $195,616. Beginning June 30, 2009, and every year thereafter the contract automatically extends for an additional year. Mr. Moore is eligible for bonuses and increase as recommended to the CEO by the President. Mr. Moore’s employment may be terminated by us with or without cause. If he resigns for “good reason” or is terminated “without cause”, he would be entitled to salary and certain benefits for the greater of the remainder of his contract or 12 months. See “Payments Upon Termination or Change in Control” for additional information. Mr. Moore’s contract also contains a non-compete provision for 12 months if his employment terminates for any reason other than a change in control of us.

We have also adopted a deferred compensation plan for Mr. Boling. Benefits are to be paid in monthly installments for 15 years following retirement or death. This plan was funded with Mr. Boling’s elected deferrals of his compensation. The agreement provides that, if employment is terminated for reasons other than death or disability prior to age 65, the amount of benefits would be reduced. The deferred compensation expense for 2008, based on the present value of the retirement benefits was $24,533. The plan is unfunded. However, life insurance has been acquired on the life of the employee in an amount sufficient to discharge the obligation.

In the table below, we list information on the vesting of stock awards during the year ended December 31, 2008 for each of the named executive officers. There were no options exercised during 2008.

The following table sets forth information as of December 31, 2008, with respect to compensation plans under which shares of Common Stock are authorized for issuance.

The following table sets forth information as of December 31, 2008 with respect to the pension plans in which the named executive officers participate:

We maintain a noncontributory defined benefit pension plan for employees who are age 21 and have completed one year of eligible service. Benefits payable under the plan are based on years of credited service on or after October 1, 2000, average compensation over the highest consecutive three years, and the plan’s benefit formula (1% of average compensation times years of credited service plus 0.65% of average compensation in excess of the Social Security Wage Base times years of credited service up to a maximum of 35 years). For years of service prior to October 1, 2000, benefits are based on the accrued benefit as of September 30, 2000, under the plan’s prior benefit formula. For 2008 the maximum allowable annual benefit payable by the plan at age 65 (the plan’s normal retirement age) was $185,000 and the maximum compensation covered by the plan was $230,000. Reduced early retirement benefits are payable on or after age 55 upon completion of 10 years of credited service. Amounts payable under the plan are not subject to reduction for Social Security benefits.

The following table shows the changes in the balance of the named executive officers’ nonqualified deferred compensation plans during 2008:

Because of limits under our qualified retirement plans on the amount of deferrals that executives can make, and on the amount of defined benefits they can receive, several of executives can expect to have a lower level of compensation replaced or a lower retirement replacement ratio than targeted for all employees. Accordingly, we have adopted several non-qualified deferred compensation plans.

The Company provides a Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan (SERP) for Mr. Boling. The Plan provides Mr. Boling 55% of his final pay at age 65, offset by other sources of retirement income. Offset items include the Bank’s qualified retirement plans, an existing deferred compensation plan, and social security. If Mr. Boling terminates employment prior to age 65, the 55% (before offsets) benefit percentage is reduced as follows: age 60 or 61, 20%; age 62, 30%; age 63, 40%; and age 64, 45%. Mr. Boling’s benefit from his SERP is payable for a period of fifteen years. Mr. Boling receives no benefits under the SERP in the event of a pre-retirement death. Mr. Boling’s SERP has no Change in Control provisions.

We also provide a Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan (SERP) for Mr. Shook and Mr. Moore. Under their plans, we credit their accounts under such SERP for an amount equal the participant’s compensation in excess of the social security wage base times the employer social security contribution percentage and the equivalent amount of matching contributions under our 401(k) plan for compensation in excess of $105,000 (as adjusted under the Internal Revenue Code).

In the event of termination of service, other than due to death, accumulated Company contributions plus earnings will be paid to the participant over a 10 year period. Mr. Moore receives no benefits under the Plan in the event of a pre-retirement death. In the event of a change in control, vesting is accelerated. This provision now has no impact as Mr. Moore is fully vested under the Plan.

Joseph L. Boling is entitled to severance payments in connection with certain types of termination of employment under his employment agreement. Under the terms of his employment agreement, Mr. Boling is entitled to severance payments equal to his current compensation and benefits for the greater of the remaining term of his agreement or 36 months if he is terminated without “Cause” or if he resigns due to the Company’s failure to comply with any substantial term of the agreement.

In the event of a change of control of the Company, if Mr. Boling is offered the same employment position at the same location as he occupied immediately prior to the change in control and he continues to participate in the compensation and benefits programs at the same or greater level as he did immediately prior to the change in control, then Mr. Boling may not terminate his agreement. However, in the event of a change in control, if Mr. Boling is not offered a position in the new organization, is not offered a senior level position in a location that are both acceptable to him or elects to terminate this agreement within 90 days of the change in control, then he is entitled to continuation of current compensation and benefits for a period of 36 months from the date of the change in control. At his option, Mr. Boling may elect to receive such compensation and benefits in either a lump sum or in monthly payments. Upon termination of his agreement for any reason, Mr. Boling covenants that he will not directly or indirectly engage in competition with the Company within a 25 mile radius of the

Company’s principal place of business for 12 months from and after the date the executive is no longer employed by the Company.

In the event of a change of control of the Company, if Mr. Moore is offered the same employment position at the same location as he occupied immediately prior to the change in control and he continues to participate in the compensation and benefits programs at the same or greater level as he did immediately prior to the change in control, then Mr. Moore may not terminate his agreement. However, in the event of a change in control, if Mr. Moore is not offered a position in the new organization, is not offered a senior level position in a location that are both acceptable to him, or elects to terminate this agreement within 90 days of the change in control, then he is entitled to continuation of current compensation and benefits for a period of 12 months from the date of the change in control. Mr. Moore is to receive such compensation and benefits in monthly payments. Upon termination of his agreement for any reason, Mr. Moore covenants that he will not directly or indirectly engage in competition with the Company within a 25 mile radius of the Company’s headquarter location and five miles of any Bank branch operated by the Company for 12 months from and after the date the executive is no longer employed by the Company. Additionally, Mr. Moore covenants that for a period of 24 months after he is no longer employed with the Company, he will not directly or indirectly solicit or induce or attempt to solicit or induce any person currently employed by the Company to terminate his or her relationship with the Company.

In the event of a change of control of the Company, if Mr. Shook is offered the same employment position at the same location as he occupied immediately prior to the change in control and he continues to participate in the compensation and benefits programs at the same or greater level as he did immediately prior to the change in control, then Mr. Shook may not terminate his agreement. However, in the event of a change in control, if Mr. Shook is not offered a position in the new organization, is not offered a senior level position in a location that are both acceptable to him, or elects to terminate this agreement within 90 days of the change in control, then he is entitled to continuation of current compensation and benefits for a period of 24 months from the date of the change in control. Mr. Shook is to receive such compensation and benefits in monthly payments. Upon termination of his agreement for any reason, Mr. Shook covenants that he will not directly or indirectly engage in competition with the Company within a 25 mile radius of the Company’s headquarter location and five miles of any Bank branch operated by the Company for 12 months from and after the date the executive is no longer employed by the Company. Additionally, Mr. Shook covenants that for a period of 24 months after he is no longer employed with the Company, he will not directly or indirectly solicit or induce or attempt to solicit or induce any person currently employed by the Company to terminate his or her relationship with the Company.

The following table summarizes the payments to be made to Mr. Boling, Mr. Moore and Mr. Shook under the circumstances described above, assuming the event of termination occurred as of December 31, 2008:

The Company has not entered into any other agreements or arrangements that provides for the payment of severance or similar benefits to Mr. Boling, Mr. Moore and Mr. Shook in connection with a termination of employment for any reason and whether or not it is in connection with a change in control.

The Company has not entered into any agreement or other arrangement that provides for the payment of severance or similar benefits in connection with a termination of employment for any reason, and whether or not it is in connection with a change in control, with any of the other named executive officers.

Each named executive officer may also elect to receive the pension benefits and/or the deferred compensation that he is entitled to under the plans described earlier in this section.

The severance and change in control payments disclosed above will be limited by the statutes and regulations that apply to the Company as a consequence of the Company’s participation in TARP. These limitations will only apply so long as the Treasury’s investment in our preferred stock remains outstanding. For further discussion see “Recent Developments Related to the Company’s Participation in TARP.”

Some of the directors and officers of the Company are at present, as in the past, customers of the Company and its subsidiaries, and the Company and its subsidiaries has had, and expects to have in the future, banking transactions in the ordinary course of its business with directors, officers, principal shareholders and their associates, on substantially the same terms, including interest rates and collateral on loans, as those prevailing at the same time for comparable transactions with others. These transactions do not involve more than the normal risk of collectibility or present other unfavorable features. The balance of loans to directors, executive officers and their associates totaled $8,435,000 at December 31, 2008, or 11.1% of the Company’s equity capital at that date.

There are no legal proceedings to which any director, officer or principal shareholder, or any affiliate thereof, is a party that would be material and adverse to the Company.

The Company has not adopted a formal policy that covers the review and approval of related person transactions by the Board of Directors. The Board, however, does review all such transactions that are proposed to it for approval. During such a review, the Board will consider, among other things, the related person’s relationship to the Company, the facts and circumstances of the proposed transaction, the aggregate dollar amount of the transaction, the related person’s relationship to the transaction and any other material information. The Audit Committee of the Board also has the responsibility to review significant conflicts of interest involving directors or executive officers.

In addition, any extensions of credit to our directors and officers are required to be on substantially the same terms as comparable transactions to non-related parties at the time of the extension of credit, pursuant to Regulation O – Loans to Executive Officers, Directors and Principal Shareholders of Member Banks of the banking regulations applicable to us.

On February 17, 2009, President Obama signed the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (the “ARRA”) into law. The ARRA includes a provision, commonly referred to as “Say-on-Pay,” that requires any recipient of funds in the Troubled Assets Relief Program (the “TARP”) to permit a separate shareholder vote to approve the compensation of executives, as disclosed pursuant to the compensation disclosure rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission.

In order to comply with ARRA as a recipient of TARP funds, the Board of Directors of the Company is providing you the opportunity, as a shareholder, to endorse or not endorse our executive pay programs and policies through the following resolution:

“RESOLVED, that the shareholders approve the compensation of executive officers as disclosed in this proxy statement pursuant to the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission.”

Non-binding approval of the Company’s executive compensation program would require that a majority of the shares present or represented at the annual meeting vote in favor of the proposal. Abstentions and broker non-votes will not be counted as votes cast and therefore will not affect the determination as to whether the Company’s executive compensation program as disclosed in this proxy statement is approved.

Because your vote is advisory, it will not be binding upon the Board of Directors, overrule any decision made by the Board of Directors or create or imply any additional fiduciary duty by the Board of Directors. The Compensation Committee may, however, take into account the outcome of the vote when considering future executive compensation arrangements.

THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS A VOTE “FOR” APPROVAL OF PROPOSAL TWO – NON-BINDING VOTE ON EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION.

The Board of Directors has appointed the firm of Yount, Hyde & Barbour, P.C. as independent public accountants to audit the consolidated financial statements of the Company for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2009. Yount, Hyde & Barbour, P.C. has audited the financial statements of the Company and the Bank for over 29 years. Representatives of Yount, Hyde & Barbour, P.C. are expected to be present at the Annual Meeting, will have an opportunity to make a statement, if they desire to do so, and are expected to be available to respond to appropriate questions from shareholders.

The aggregate fees billed by Yount, Hyde & Barbour, P.C. for professional services rendered for the audit of the Company’s annual financial statements for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, and also for the review of the financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K and Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, and services that are normally provided in connection with statutory and regulatory filings and engagements, for those fiscal years were $138,475 for 2008 and $132,250 for 2007.

The aggregate fees billed by Yount, Hyde & Barbour, P.C. for professional services for assurance and related services that are reasonably related to the performance of the audit or review of the Company’s financial statements and not reported under the heading “Audit Fees” above for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007 were $61,000 and $57,700, respectively. During 2008 and 2007, audit related fees included consultation concerning financial accounting and reporting standards, employee benefit plan audits, agreed upon procedures engagement for the Middleburg Trust Company and the SysTrust information technology audit.

The aggregate fees billed by Yount, Hyde & Barbour, P.C. for professional services for tax compliance for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007 were $10,850 and $10,050, respectively. During 2008 and 2007, these services included preparation of federal and state income tax returns, preparation of trust income tax returns related to the trust preferred entities and consultation regarding tax compliance issues.

There were no fees billed by Yount, Hyde & Barbour, P.C. for any other services rendered to the Company for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007.

All audit related services, tax services and other services were pre-approved by the Audit Committee, which concluded that the provision of such services by Yount, Hyde & Barbour, P.C. was compatible with the maintenance of that firm’s independence in the conduct of its auditing functions. The Audit Committee’s Charter provides for pre-approval of audit, audit-related and tax services. The Charter authorizes the Audit Committee to delegate to one or more of its members pre-approval authority with respect to permitted services.

The Audit Committee is comprised of five directors, each of whom is independent within the meaning of the listing standards of the Nasdaq Stock Market. The Audit Committee operates under a written charter adopted by the Board of Directors. The Audit Committee reviews its charter at least annually and revises it as necessary to ensure compliance with current regulatory requirements.

Management is responsible for the establishment and maintenance of the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting, assessing the effectiveness of those internal controls over financial reporting, maintaining the financial reporting process to ensure the accuracy and integrity of the Company’s consolidated financial statements, and compliance with laws and regulations and ethical business standards. The independent registered accounting firm is responsible for performing an independent audit of the Company’s consolidated financial statements in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards and the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting, expressing an opinion as to the conformity of the Company’s consolidated financial statements with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles and expressing an opinion as to management’s assessment of the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting and the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

The Audit Committee is responsible for the appointment, compensation, retention and oversight of the work of the independent registered accounting firm engaged for the purpose of issuing an audit report and performing other audit, review, or attestation services for the Company. Because the Company outsources its internal audit function, the Audit Committee is also responsible for the appointment, compensation, retention and oversight of the work of the independent registered accounting firm engaged to perform internal audit services for the Company. The Audit Committee also monitors and oversees the accounting and financial reporting processes of the Company on behalf of the Board of Directors.

In this context, the Audit Committee has met and held discussions with management and Yount, Hyde & Barbour, P.C., the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm. Management represented to the Audit Committee that the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2008 were prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. The Audit Committee has reviewed and discussed these consolidated financial statements with management and Yount, Hyde & Barbour, P.C., including the scope of the independent registered public accounting firm’s responsibilities, critical accounting policies, and practices used and significant reporting issues and judgments made in connection with the preparation of such financial statements.

The Audit Committee has discussed with Yount, Hyde & Barbour, P.C. the matters required to be discussed by Statement on Auditing Standards No. 61, as amended, Statement on Auditing Standards No. 99, and Securities and Exchange Commission rules discussed in Releases Nos. 33-8183 and 33-8183A. In addition, the Audit Committee has received from the independent registered accounting firm the written disclosures and the letter required by Independence Standards Board Standard No. 1 (Independence Discussions with Audit Committees) and discussed with them their independence from the Company and its management. Moreover, the Audit Committee has considered whether the independent registered accounting firm’s provision of other non-audit services to the Company is compatible with maintaining the auditor’s independence.

Finally, the Audit Committee has discussed with management its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting and has also discussed with Yount, Hyde & Barbour, P.C. its opinion as to the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

Based upon its discussions with management and Yount, Hyde & Barbour, P.C. and its review of the representations of management and the report of Yount, Hyde & Barbour, P.C. to the Audit Committee, the Audit Committee recommended that the audited consolidated financial statements be included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008 for filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission. By recommending that the audited consolidated financial statements be so included, the Audit Committee is not opining on the accuracy, completeness or presentation of the information contained in the audited financial statements.

Under the regulations of the SEC, any shareholder desiring to make a proposal to be acted upon at the 2010 annual meeting of shareholders must cause such proposal to be received, in proper form, at the Company’s principal executive offices at 111 West Washington Street, Middleburg, Virginia 20117, no later than November 23, 2009, in order for the proposal to be considered for inclusion in the Company’s Proxy Statement for that meeting. The Company presently anticipates holding the 2009 Annual Meeting of Shareholders on April 21, 2010.

The Company’s Bylaws also prescribe the procedure that a shareholder must follow to nominate directors or to bring other business before shareholders’ meetings outside of the proxy statement process.
