ITEM 1.BUSINESS

 

MVB Financial Corp. (“the Company”) was formed on January 1, 2004, as a bank holding company and, effective December 19, 2012, became a financial holding company.  The Company features multiple subsidiaries and affiliated businesses, including MVB Bank, Inc. (the “Bank” or “MVB Bank”) and its wholly-owned subsidiary MVB Mortgage and MVB Insurance, LLC (“MVB Insurance”). On December 31, 2013, three Company subsidiaries, MVB-Central, Inc. (a second-tier level holding company), MVB-East, Inc. (a second tier holding company) and Bank Compliance Solutions, Inc. (an inactive subsidiary) were merged into the Company.

 

The Bank was formed on October 30, 1997 and chartered under the laws of the State of West Virginia.  The Bank commenced operations on January 4, 1999. In August of 2005, the Bank opened a full service office in neighboring Harrison County, West Virginia.  During October of 2005, the Bank purchased a branch office in Jefferson County, West Virginia, situated in West Virginia’s eastern panhandle.  During the third quarter of 2007, the Bank opened a full service office in the Martinsburg area of Berkeley County, West Virginia.  In the second quarter of 2011, the Bank opened a banking facility in the Cheat Lake area of Monongalia County, West Virginia.  The Bank opened its second Harrison County, West Virginia location, the downtown Clarksburg office in the historic Empire Building during the fourth quarter of 2012. 

 

Also during the fourth quarter of 2012, the Bank acquired Potomac Mortgage Group, Inc. (“PMG” which, following July 15, 2013, began doing business under the registered trade name “MVB Mortgage”), a mortgage company in the northern Virginia area, and fifty percent (50%) interest in a mortgage services company, Lender Service Provider, LLC (“LSP”).  In the third quarter of 2013, this fifty percent (50%) interest in LSP was reduced to a twenty-five percent (25%) interest through a sale of a partial interest.  This PMG acquisition provided the Company and the Bank the opportunity to make the mortgage banking operation a much more significant line of business to further diversify its net income stream.   MVB Mortgage has eleven mortgage o nly offices, located in Virginia, within the Washington, District of Columbia / Baltimore, Maryland metropolitan area as well as North Carolina and South Carolina, and, in addition, has mortgage loan originators located at select Bank locations throughout West Virginia.

 

In the first quarter of 2013, the Bank opened its second Monongalia County location in the Sabraton area of Morgantown, West Virginia.  In the second quarter of 2013, the Bank opened its second full service office in Berkeley County, West Virginia, at Edwin Miller Boulevard. In addition, t he Bank opened a loan production office at 184 Summers Street, Charleston, Kanawha County, West Virginia, which was subsequently moved to 400 Washington Street East, Charleston, West Virginia and later replaced during March 2015 by a full service branch at the same location. During the first quarter of 2014, the Company continued to focus on growth in the Harrison, Berkeley, Jefferson and Monongalia County areas, as well as the Kanawha county area, as the primary method for reaching performance goals. In addition, t he Bank opened a loan production office in Reston, Fairfax County, Virginia, from which the Bank operates as MVB Commercial Lending Company. The Company continuously reviews key performance indicators to measure our success.

 

C urrently, the Bank operates eleven full-service banking branches in West Virginia, which are located at:  301 Virginia Avenue in Fairmont, Marion County; 9789 Mall Loop (inside the Shop N Save Supermarket) in White Hall, Marion County; 1000 Johnson Avenue in Bridgeport, Harrison County; 406 West Main St. in Clarksburg, Harrison County; 88 Somerset Boulevard in Charles Town, Jefferson County; 651 Foxcroft Avenue in Martinsburg, Berkeley County; 2400 Cranberry Square in Cheat Lake, Monongalia County; 10  Sterling  Drive in Morgantown, Monongalia County; and 231 Aikens Center in Martinsburg, Berkeley County.  During February 201 5, the Bank opened a location at 100 NASA Boulevard, Fairmon t, Marion County, West Virginia, which will ultimately replace the 9789 Mall Loop, White Hall, Marion County, West Virginia location as the Technology Park location offers a drive-thru facility to better serve customers. During March 2015, the location at 9789 Mall Loop will be closed.  Additionally during March 2015, the Bank opened a new full service location at 400 Washington Street East, Charleston, Kanawha County , West Virg inia, replacing its loan production office at the same address.   In addition, as noted, the Bank operates a loan production office   as MVB Commercial Lending Company, at 1801 Reston Parkway, Suite 103, Rest on, Fairfax County, Virginia.

In addition to MVB Mortgage, the Company has a wholly-owned subsidiary, MVB Insurance, LLC.  MVB Insurance was originally formed in 2000 and reinstated in 2005, as a Bank subsidiary.  Effective June 1, 2013, MVB Insurance became a direct subsidiary of the Company.  MVB Insurance offers select insurance products such as title insurance, individual insurance, commercial insurance, employee benefits insurance, and professional liability insurance.  MVB Insurance maintains its headquarters at 301 Virginia Avenue, Fairmont, West Virginia,   and operates offices at: 48 Donley Street, Suite 703, Morgantown, West Virginia, 400 Washington Street E ast , Charleston, West Virginia,; and 355 Wharton Circle, Suite 123, Triadelphia, West Virginia.

 

At December 31, 2014 , the Company had total assets o f $1,110.5 million, total loans of $798.3  m illion, total deposits of $823.2 million and tot al stockholders’ equity of $109.4 million.

 

The Company’s primary business activities, through its Subsidiaries, are currently community banking, mortgage banking, insurance services, and wealth management.  As a community banking entity, the Bank offers its customers a full range of products through various delivery channels.  Such products and services include checking accounts, NOW accounts, money market and savings accounts, time certificates of deposit, commercial, installment, commercial real estate and residential real estate mortgage loans, debit cards, and safe deposit rental facilities.  Services are provided through our walk-in offices, automated teller machines (“ATMs”), drive-in facilities, and internet and telephone banking. Additionally, the Bank offers non-deposit investment products through an association with a broker- dealer .  Since the opening date of January 4, 1999, the Bank, has experienced significant growth in assets, loans, and deposits due to overwhelming community and customer support in the Marion County, West Virginia and Harrison County, West Virginia markets, expansion into West Virginia’s eastern panhandle counties and, most recently, into Monongalia County, West Virginia.  With the acquisition of PMG, mortgage banking is now a much more significant focus, which has opened up increased market opportunities in the Washington, District of Columbia metropolitan region and added enough volume to better diversify the Company’s earnings stream.

 

At December 31, 2014 , the Company had 324 full-time equivalent employees. The Company’s principal office is located at 301 Virginia Avenue, Fairmont, West Virginia 26554, and its telephone number is (304) 363-4800. The Company’s Internet web site is www.mvbbanking.com.

 

Segment Reporting

 

Beginning in 2013, the Company began to operate in a decentralized fashion in three principal business activities: commercial and retail banking services; mortgage banking services; and insurance services. Revenue from commercial and retail banking activities consists primarily of interest earned on loans and investment securities and service charges on deposit accounts.

 

Revenue from the mortgage banking activities is comprised of interest earned on loans and fees received as a result of the mortgage origination process. The mortgage banking services are conducted by MVB Mortgage.

Revenue from insurance services is comprised mainly of commissions on the sale of insurance products.

Commercial & Retail Banking

 

For the year ended December 31, 2014, the Commercial & Re tail Banking segment earned $2.2 million compared to $2.2 million in 2013. Net interest income increased by $4.8 million, mostly the result of average loan balances increasing by $219.7 million. Noninterest income decreased by $866, largely the result of decreased income from portfolio loans held for sale of $1.9 million. This was the result of integrating the mortgage company in mid-2013, as the bank mortgage volume was transferred to the mortgage company. Noninterest expense increased by $3.1 million, mainly the result of the following: $846 increase in salaries expense, $733 increase in occupancy and equipment expense, $340 increase in data processing expense, $330 increase in FDIC expense, $274 increase in consulting expense and $230 increase in legal expense. L oan loss provision also increased by $322 as a result of loan growth.

For the year ended December 31, 2014, t he Mor tgage Banking segment earned $105 compared to earning $2.0 million in 2013. Net interest income increased $334, noninterest income decreased by $1.4 million and nonin terest expense increased by $2.0 million. The $1.8 million earnin gs decrease is mainly due to a   17.1% decrease in origination volume, an increase in personnel expense of $1.5 million due to the addition of seven additional offices and employees to expand

United States Census Bureau data indicates that the Fairmont and Marion County, West Virginia populations have had somewhat different trends from 1980 to 2010.  The population of Fairmont has fluctuated from 23,863 in 1980; 20,210 in 1990; 19,097 in 2000 and 18,704 in 2010, or a net decline of 5,159 or 21.6%.  Marion County increased its population from 1980 to 1990, 55,789 to 57,249, decreased to 56,598 in 2000 and decreased to 56,418 in 2010.  These changes resulted in a net increase of 1.1%.  The Marion County population includes that of Fairmont.  The result is that over the last 30 years, there has not been any significant change in population.  Harrison County’s population decreased from 69,371 in 1990 to 68,652 in 2000, increased to 69,099 in 2010 while Bridgeport’s population has increased from 7,306 in 2000 to 7,896 in 2010, indicating that while population change in Harrison County has been relatively flat, the Bridgeport area is growing.  The population in Jefferson County has been on the rise in recent years, increasing from 42,190 in 2000 to 53,498 in 2010.  During this period, Charles Town has seen an increase in population of 80.9% to 5,259 in 2010.  Berkeley County’s population has grown from 75,905 in 2000 to 104,169 in 2010, making it the second-most populous county in West Virginia.  Martinsburg’s population has increased 15.1% since 2000 to 17,227 in 2010.  Monongalia County’s population has increased from 81,866 in 2000 to 96,189 in 2010, an increase of 17.5%.  Morgantown’s population in 2010 was 29,660, an increase of 2,851 or 10.6% since 2000.  Kanawha County’s population decreased slightly from 200,073 in 2000 to 193,063 in 2010, a decrease of 3.5%.  Charleston’s population in 2010 was 51,400, a decrease of 2,021 or 3.93% since 2000.  Based upon this data, the company’s offices are in some of the most desirable locations in the state of West Virginia.  

 

The current economic climate in West Virginia, and, in particular, in the six counties in which the Company and the Bank focuses possess better economic climates than the general national climate.  Unemploym ent in the United States was 5.4% and 6.5% in December 2014 and 2013, respectively.  The unemployment levels in the six West Virginia counties where MVB operates in were as follows for the periods indicated:

The numbers from all six counties continue to be significantly better than the national numbers. The Company and the Bank nonperforming loan information supports the fact that the West Virginia economy has not suffered as much as that

of the nation as a whole.  Nonperforming loans to total loans were 1.16 % in Dec emb er of 2014 versus 0.14% in Dec ember of 2013 and char ge offs to total loans were 0.16% and 0.25 % for each period respectively. The Company and the Bank continue to closely monitor economic and delinquency trends.

 

The Company originates various types of loans, including commercial and commercial real estate loans, residential real estate loans, home equity lines of credit, real estate construction loans, and consumer loans (loans to individuals). In general, the Company retains most of its originated loans (exclusive of certain long-term, fixed rate residential mortgages that are sold.)  However, loans originated in excess of the Bank’s legal lending limit are participated to other banking institutions and the servicing of those loans is retained by the bank. The Company has no loans to foreign entities. The Company’s lending market area is primarily concentrated in the Marion, Harrison, Berkeley, Jefferson , Kanawha and Monongalia Counties of West Virginia, as well as the northern Virginia area for mortgage and commercial lending.

 

Commercial Loans

 

At December 31, 2014 , the Bank had outstanding approximatel y $560.8 million in commercial loans, including commercial, commercial real estate, financial and agricultural loans.  These loan s represented approximately 70.3 % of the total aggregate loan portfolio as of that date.

 

Lending Practices . Commercial lending entails significant additional risks as compared with consumer lending (i.e., single-family residential mortgage lending, and installment lending). In addition, the payment experience on commercial loans typically depends on adequate cash flow of a business and thus may be subject, to a greater extent, to adverse conditions in the general economy or in a specific industry. Loan terms include amortization schedules commensurate with the purpose of each loan, the source of repayment and the risk involved. The primary analysis technique used in determining whether to grant a commercial loan is the review of a schedule of estimated cash flows to evaluate whether anticipated future cash flows will be adequate to service both interest and principal due. In addition, the Bank reviews collateral to determine its value in relation to the loan in the event of a foreclosure.

 

The Bank evaluates all new commercial loans, as well as customers that have total outstanding loans t hat aggregate more than $1,000 .  If deterioration in c redit worthiness has occurred, t he Bank takes effective and prompt action designed to assure repayment of the loan. Upon detection of the reduced ability of a borrower to meet original cash flow obligations, the loan is considered a classified loan and reviewed for possible downgrading or placement on non-accrual status.

 

Consumer Loans

 

At December 31, 2014 , the Bank had outstanding consumer loans in an aggregate amount of approximate ly $1 7.1 million or approximately 2.1 % of the aggregate total loan portfolio.

 

Lending Practices . Consumer loans generally involve more risk as to collectability than mortgage loans because of the type and nature of the collateral and, in certain instances, the absence of collateral. As a result, consumer lending collections are dependent upon the borrower’s continued financial stability, and thus are more likely to be adversely affected by employment loss, personal bankruptcy, or adverse economic conditions. Credit approval for consumer loans requires demonstration of sufficiency of income to repay principal and interest due, stability of employment, a positive credit record and sufficient collateral for secured loans. It is the policy of the Bank to review its consumer loan portfolio monthly and to charge off loans that do not meet its standards and to adhere strictly to all laws and regulations governing consumer lending.

 

Real Estate Loans

 

At December 31, 2014 , t he Bank had approximately $220.4 million of residential real estate loans, home equity lines of credit, and construction mortgage s outstanding, representing 27.6 % of total loans outstanding.

 

Lending Practices . The Bank generally requires that the residential real estate loan amount be no more than 80% of the purchase price or the appraised value of the real estate securing the loan, unless the borrower obtains private mortgage insurance for the percentage exceeding 80%. Occasionally, the Bank may lend up to 100% of the appraised value of the

Table of Contents

real estate.  Loans made in this lending category are generally one to ten year adjustable rate, fully amortizing to maturity mortgages. MVB Bank also originates fixed rate real estate loans and generally sells these loans in the secondary market. Most real estate loans are secured by first mortgages with evidence of title in favor of the Bank in the form of an attorney’s opinion of the title or a title insurance policy. MVB Bank also requires proof of hazard insurance with the Bank named as the mortgagee and as the loss payee. Full appraisals are obtained from licensed appraisers for the majority of loans secured by real estate.

 

Home Equity Loans . Home equity lines of credit are generally made as second mortgages by MVB Bank. The maximum amount of a home equity line of credit is generally limited to 80% of the appraised value of the property less the balance of the first mortgage. The Bank will lend up to 100% of the appraised value of the property at higher interest rates which are considered compatible with the additional risk assumed in these types of loans. The home equity lines of credit are written with 10 year terms, but are subject to review upon request for renewal.

 

Construction Loans . Construction financing is generally considered to involve a higher degree of risk of loss than long-term financing on improved, occupied real estate. Risk of loss on a construction loan is dependent largely upon the accuracy of the initial estimate of the property’s value at completion of construction and the estimated cost (including interest) of construction. If the estimate of construction cost proves to be inaccurate, MVB may advance funds beyond the amount originally committed to permit completion of the project.

 

Competition

 

The Company experiences significant competition in attracting depositors and borrowers. Competition in lending activities comes principally from other commercial banks, savings associations, insurance companies, governmental agencies, credit unions, brokerage firms and pension funds. The primary factors in competing for loans are interest rate and overall lending services. Competition for deposits comes from other commercial banks, savings associations, money market funds and credit unions as well as from insurance companies and brokerage firms. The primary factors in competing for deposits are interest rates paid on deposits, account liquidity, convenience of office location and overall financial condition. The Company believes that its community approach provides flexibility, which enables the bank to offer an array of banking products and services.

 

The Company primarily focuses on the Marion, H arrison, Jefferson, Berkeley, Monongalia and Kanawha County markets in West Virginia and the northern Virginia area for its products and services. Management believes it has developed a niche and a level of expertise in serving this area.

 

The Company operates under a “needs-based” selling approach that management believes has proven successful in serving the financial needs of most customers. It is not the Company’s strategy to compete solely on the basis of interest rates. Management believes that a focus on customer relationships and service will promote our customers’ continued use of our financial products and services and will lead to enhanced revenue opportunities.

 

Supervision and Regulation

 

The following is a summary of certain statutes and regulations affecting the Company and its subsidiaries and is qualified in its entirety by reference to such statutes and regulations:

 

Financial Holding Company Regulation — MVB Financial Corp. is a financial holding company under the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956, as amended, or BHCA, and is subject to the reporting requirements of, and examination and regulation by, the Federal Reserve Board. In general, the BHCA limits the business of bank holding companies to banking, managing or controlling banks and other activities that the Federal Reserve Board has determined to be so closely related to banking as to be a proper incident thereto.  Under the BHCA, bank holding companies that qualify and elect to be financial holding companies, such as MVB Financial Corp., may engage in any activity, or acquire and retain the shares of a company engaged in any activity, that is either(i)financial in nature or incidental to such financial activity (as determined by the Federal Reserve Board in consultation with the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency) or (ii) complementary to a financial activity and does not pose a substantial risk to the safety and soundness of depository institutions or the financial system generally (as solely determined by the Federal Reserve Board).  MVB Financial

Corp.’s subsidiary bank, MVB Bank, Inc., is subject to restrictions imposed by the Federal Reserve Act on transactions with affiliates. The Company and its subsidiaries are prohibited from engaging in certain tying arrangements in connection with extensions of credit and/or the provision of other property or services to a customer by MVB Financial Corp. or its subsidiaries.

 

On July 30, 2002, the Senate and the House of Representatives of the United States (Congress) enacted the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, a law that addresses, among other issues, corporate governance, auditing and accounting, executive compensation, and enhanced and timely disclosure of corporate information.  The New York Stock Exchange proposed corporate governance rules that were enacted by the Securities and Exchange Commission.  The changes are intended to allow stockholders to more easily and efficiently monitor the performance of companies and directors and should not significantly impact the Company.

 

Effective August 29, 2002, as directed by Section 302(a) of Sarbanes-Oxley, MVB Financial Corp.’s chief executive officer and chief financial officer are each required to certify that the company’s Quarterly and Annual Reports do not contain any untrue statement of a material fact.  The rules have several requirements, including having these officers certify that:  they are responsible for establishing, maintaining and regularly evaluating the effectiveness of   MVB Financial Corp.’s internal controls; they have made certain disclosures to the Company’s auditors and the audit committee of the Board of Directors about the company’s internal controls; and they have included information in MVB Financial Corp.’s Quarterly and Annual Reports about their evaluation and whether there have been significant changes in the Company’s internal controls or in other factors that could significantly affect internal controls subsequent to the evaluation.

 

The Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act (also known as the Financial Services Modernization Act of 1999) permits bank holding companies to become financial holding companies.  This allows them to affiliate with securities firms and insurance companies and to engage in other activities that are financial in nature. A bank holding company may become a financial holding company if each of its subsidiary banks is well capitalized, is well managed and has at least a satisfactory rating under the Community Reinvestment Act.  No regulatory approval will be required for a financial holding company to acquire a company, other than a bank or savings association, engaged in activities that are financial in nature or incidental to activities that are financial in nature, as determined by the Federal Reserve Board.

 

The Financial Services Modernization Act defines “financial in nature” to include: securities underwriting, dealing and market making; sponsoring mutual funds and investment companies; insurance underwriting and agency; merchant banking activities; and activities that the Federal Reserve Board has determined to be closely related to banking. A bank also may engage, subject to limitations on investment, in activities that are financial in nature, other than insurance underwriting, insurance company portfolio investment, real estate development and real estate investment, through a financial subsidiary of the bank, if the bank is well capitalized, well managed and has at least a satisfactory Community Reinvestment Act rating.

 

Banking Subsidiary Regulation . MVB Bank, Inc. was chartered as a state bank and is regulated by the West Virginia Division of Financial Institutions and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. The Bank provides FDIC insurance on its deposits and is a member of the Federal Home Loan Bank of Pittsburgh (“FHLB”).

 

International Money Laundering Abatement and Anti-Terrorist Financing Act of 2001 (USA Patriot Act)

 

The International Money Laundering Abatement and Anti-Terrorist Financing Act of 2001 (the “Patriot Act”) was adopted in response to the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks.  The Patriot Act provides law enforcement with greater powers to investigate terrorism and prevent future terrorist acts.  Among the broad-reaching provisions contained in the Patriot Act are several designed to deter terrorists’ ability to launder money in the United States and provide law enforcement with additional powers to investigate how terrorists and terrorist organizations are financed.  The Patriot Act creates additional requirements for banks, which were already subject to similar regulations.  The Patriot Act authorizes the Secretary of the Treasury to require financial institutions to take certain “special measures” when the Secretary suspects that certain transactions or accounts are related to money laundering.  These special measures may be ordered when the Secretary suspects that a jurisdiction outside of the United States, a financial institution operating outside of the United States, a class of transactions involving a jurisdiction outside of the United States or certain types

10


 

Table of Contents

of accounts are of “primary money laundering concern.”  The special measures include the following: (a) require financial institutions to keep records and report on the transactions or accounts at issue; (b) require financial institutions to obtain and retain information related to the beneficial ownership of any account opened or maintained by foreign persons; (c)require financial institutions to identify each customer who is permitted to use a payable-through or correspondent account and obtain certain information from each customer permitted to use the account; and (d) prohibit or impose conditions on the opening or maintaining of correspondent or payable-through accounts.

 

Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation

 

The FDIC insures the deposits of the Bank which is subject to the applicable provisions of the Federal Deposit Insurance Act. The FDIC may terminate a bank’s deposit insurance upon finding that the institution has engaged in unsafe or unsound practices, is in an unsafe or unsound condition to continue operations, or has violated any applicable law, regulation, rule, order or condition enacted or imposed by the bank’s regulatory agency.

 

Federal Home Loan Bank

 

The FHLB provides credit to its members in the form of advances. As a member of the FHLB of Pittsburgh, the Bank must maintain an investment in the capital stock of that FHLB in an amount equal to 0.35% of the calculated Member Asset Value (MAV) plus 4.60% of outstanding advances.  The MAV is determined by taking line item values for various investment and loan classes and applying an FHLB haircut to each item.

 

Capital Requirements

 

Federal Reserve Board . The Federal Reserve Board has adopted risk-based capital guidelines for bank holding companies. The risk-based capital guidelines include both a definition of capital and a framework for calculating risk-weighted assets by assigning assets and off-balance sheet items to broad risk categories. For further discussion regarding the Bank’s risk-based capital requirements, see Note 14 of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in Item 8 of this Form 10-K.

 

West Virginia Division of Financial Institutions . State banks, such as MVB Bank, Inc. are subject to similar capital requirements adopted by the West Virginia Division of Financial Institutions.

 

Limits on Dividends

 

The Company’s ability to obtain funds for the payment of dividends and for other cash requirements largely depends on the amount of dividends the Company declares. However, the Federal Reserve Board expects MVB Financial Corp. to serve as a source of strength to the Bank. The Federal Reserve Board may require the Company to retain capital for further investment in the Bank, rather than pay dividends to its shareholders. MVB Bank, Inc. may not pay dividends to MVB if, after paying those dividends, the Bank would fail to meet the required minimum levels under the risk-based capital guidelines and the minimum leverage ratio requirements. The Bank must have the approval from the West Virginia Division of Financial Institutions if a dividend in any year would cause the total dividends for that year to exceed the sum of the current year’s net earnings as defined and the retained earnings for the preceding two years as defined, less required transfers to surplus. These provisions could limit the Company’s ability to pay dividends on its outstanding common shares.

 

Federal and State Consumer Laws

 

MVB Bank, Inc. is subject to regulatory oversight under various consumer protection and fair lending laws. These laws govern, among other things, truth-in-lending disclosure, equal credit opportunity, fair credit reporting and community reinvestment. Failure to abide by federal laws and regulations governing community reinvestment could limit the ability of a bank to open a new branch or engage in a merger transaction. Community reinvestment regulations evaluate how well and to what extent a bank lends and invests in its designated service area, with particular emphasis on low-to-moderate income communities and borrowers in such areas.

Monetary Policy and Economic Conditions

 

The business of financial institutions is affected not only by general economic conditions, but also by the policies of various governmental regulatory agencies, including the Federal Reserve Board. The Federal Reserve Board regulates money and credit conditions and interest rates to influence general economic conditions primarily through open market operations in U.S. government securities, changes in the discount rate on bank borrowings and changes in the reserve requirements against depository institutions’ deposits. These policies and regulations significantly affect the overall growth and distribution of loans, investments and deposits, and the interest rates charged on loans, as well as the interest rates paid on deposit accounts.

 

The monetary policies of the Federal Reserve Board have had a significant effect on the operating results of financial institutions in the past and are expected to continue to have significant effects in the future. In view of the changing conditions in the economy and the money markets and the activities of monetary and fiscal authorities, the Company cannot predict future changes in interest rates, credit availability or deposit levels.

 

Effect of Environmental Regulation

 

The Company’s primary exposure to environmental risk is through its lending activities. In cases when management believes environmental risk potentially exists, the Company mitigates its environmental risk exposures by requiring environmental site assessments at the time of loan origination to confirm collateral quality as to commercial real estate parcels posing higher than normal potential for environmental impact, as determined by reference to present and past uses of the subject property and adjacent sites. Environmental assessments are typically required prior to any foreclosure activity involving non-residential real estate collateral.

 

With regard to residential real estate lending, management reviews those loans with inherent environmental risk on an individual basis and makes decisions based on the dollar amount of the loan and the materiality of the specific credit.

 

The Company anticipates no material effect on anticipated capital expenditures, earnings or competitive position as a result of compliance with federal, state or local environmental protection laws or regulations.

In Management’s Discussion and Analysis we review and explain the general financial condition and the results of operations for MVB Financial Corp. and its subsidiaries. We have designed this discussion to assist you in understanding the significant changes in the Company’s financial condition and results of operations.  We have used accounting principles generally accepted in the United States to prepare the accompanying consolidated financial state ments. We engaged Dixon Hughes Goodman, LLP . to audit the consolidated financial statements and their independent audit report is included herein.

 

Introduction

 

The following discussion and analysis of the Consolidated Financial Statements is presented to provide insight into management’s assessment of the financial results and operations of the Company. You should read this discussion and analysis in conjunction with the audited Consolidated Financial Statements and footnotes and the ratios and statistics contained elsewhere in this Form 10-K.

 

Application of Critical Accounting Policies

 

The Company’s consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with U. S. generally accepted accounting principles and follow general practices within the banking industry.  Application of these principles requires management to make estimates, assumptions, and judgments that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements; accordingly, as this information changes, the financial statements could reflect different estimates, assumptions, and judgments.  Certain policies inherently have a greater reliance on the use of estimates, assumptions and judgments and as such have a greater possibility of producing results that could be materially different than originally reported.  Estimates, assumptions, and judgments are necessary when assets and liabilities are required to be recorded at fair value, when a decline in the value of an asset not carried on the financial statements at fair value warrants an impairment write-down or valuation reserve to be established, or when an asset or liability needs to be recorded contingent upon a future event.  Carrying assets and liabilities at fair value inherently results in more financial statement volatility.  The fair values and the information used to record valuation adjustments for certain assets and liabilities are based either on quoted market prices or are provided by other third-party sources, when available. When third-party information is not available, valuation adjustments are estimated in good faith by management primarily through the use of internal forecasting techniques.

 

The most significant accounting policies followed by the Company are presented in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements. These policies, along with the disclosures presented in the other financial statement notes and in management’s discussion and analysis of operations, provide information on how significant assets and liabilities are valued in the financial statements and how those values are determined. Based on the valuation techniques used and the sensitivity of financial statement amounts to the methods, assumptions, and estimates underlying those amounts, management has identified the determination of the allowance for loan losses to be the accounting area that requires the most subjective or complex judgments, and as such could be most subject to revision as new information becomes available.

 

Allowance for Loan Losses

 

The allowance for loan losses represents management’s estimate of probable credit losses inherent in the loan portfolio.  Determining the amount of the allowance for loan losses is considered a critical accounting estimate because it requires

16


 

Table of Contents

significant judgment and the use of estimates related to the amount and timing of losses inherent in classifications of homogeneous loans based on the Bank’s historical loss experience and consideration of current economic trends and conditions, all of which may be susceptible to significant change.  Non-homogeneous loans are specifically evaluated due to the increased risks inherent in those loans.  The loan portfolio also represents the largest asset type in the consolidated balance sheet. Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements describes the methodology used to determine the allowance for loan losses and a discussion of the factors driving changes in the amount of the allowance for loan losses is included in the Allowance for Loan Losses section of this financial review.

 

Investment Securities

 

Investment securities at the time of purchase are classified as one of the following:

 

Held-to-Maturity Securities - Includes securities that the Company has the positive intent and ability to hold to maturity. These securities are reported at amortized cost. The Com pany had $54.5 million and $56.7 million as of December 31, 2014 and 2013 .

 

Available-for-Sale Securities - Includes debt and equity securities not classified as held-to-maturity that will be held for indefinite periods of time. These securities may be sold in response to changes in market interest or prepayment rates, needs for liquidity and changes in the availability of and yield of alternative investments.  Such securities are reported at fair value, with unrealized holding gains and losses excluded from earnings and reported as a separate component of stockholders’ equity, net of estimated income tax effect.

 

The amortized cost of investment in debt securities is adjusted for amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts, computed by a method that results in a level yield. Gains and losses on the sale of investment securities are computed on the basis of specific identification of the adjusted cost of each security.

 

Securities are periodically reviewed for other-than-temporary impairment. For debt securities, management considers whether the present value of future cash flows expected to be collected are less than the security’s amortized cost basis (the difference defined as the credit loss), the magnitude and duration of the decline, the reasons underlying the decline and the Company’s intent to sell the security or whether it is more likely than not that the Company would be required to sell the security before its anticipated recovery in market value, to determine whether the loss in value is other than temporary. Once a decline in value is determined to be other than temporary, if the Company does not intend to sell the security, and it is more-likely-than-not that it will not be required to sell the security, before recovery of the security’s amortized cost basis, the charge to earnings is limited to the amount of credit loss. Any remaining difference between fair value and amortized cost (the difference defined as the non-credit portion) is recognized in other comprehensive income, net of applicable taxes. For equity securities where the fair value has been significantly below cost for one year, the Company’s policy is to recognize an impairment loss unless sufficient evidence is available that the decline is not other than temporary and a recovery period can be predicted. A decline in value that is considered to be other-than-temporary is recorded as a loss within non-interest income in the consolidated statement of income.

 

Common stock of the Federal Home Loan Bank represents ownership in an institution which is wholly owned by other financial institutions. These equity securities are accounted for at cost and are classified as other assets.

 

See Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements for the Company’s policy regarding the other than temporary impairment of investment securities.

 

Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets

 

As discussed in Note 1 of the consolidated financial statements, the Company must assess goodwill and other intangible assets each year for impairment.  This assessment involves estimating the fair value of the Company’s reporting units.  If the fair value of the reporting unit is less than its carrying value including goodwill, we would be required to take a charge against earnings to write down the assets to the lower value.

Deferred Tax Assets

 

We use an estimate of future earnings to support our position that the benefit of our deferred tax assets will be realized. If future income should prove non-existent or less than the amount of the deferred tax assets within the tax years to which they may be applied, the asset may not be realized and our net income will be reduced. Management also evaluates deferred tax assets to determine if it is more likely than not that the deferred tax benefit will be utilized in future periods.  If not, a valuation allowance is recorded.  Our deferred tax assets are described further in Note 8 of the consolidated financial statements.

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements and Developments

 

In January 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standard Update ("ASU") No. 2014-04, "Reclassification of Residential Real Estate Collateralized Consumer Mortgage Loans upon Foreclosure." The objective of this guidance is to clarify when an in substance repossession or foreclosure occurs, that is, when a creditor should be considered to have received physical possession of residential real estate property collateralizing a consumer mortgage loan such that the loan receivable should be derecognized and the real estate property recognized. ASU No. 2014-04 states that an in substance repossession or foreclosure occurs, and a creditor is considered to have received physical possession of residential real estate property collateralizing a consumer mortgage loan, upon either (1) the creditor obtaining legal title to the residential real estate property upon completion of a foreclosure or (2) the borrower conveying all interest in the residential real estate property to the creditor to satisfy that loan through completion of a deed in lieu of foreclosure or through a similar legal agreement. Additionally, ASU No. 2014-04 requires interim and annual disclosure of both (1) the amount of foreclosed residential real estate property held by the creditor and (2) the recorded investment in consumer mortgage loans collateralized by residential real estate property that are in the process of foreclosure according to local requirements of the applicable jurisdiction. ASU No. 2014-04 is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2014. The adoption of ASU No. 2014-04 is not expected to have a material impact on MVB Financials Corp’s Consolidated Financial Statements.

 

In May 2014, the FASB is sued ASU 2014-09,   Revenue from Contracts with Customers, which will supersede nearly all existing revenue recognition guidance under U.S. GAAP. The core principal of this ASU is that an entity should recognize revenue when it transfers promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. This ASU also requires additional disclosure about the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from customer contracts, including significant judgments and changes in judgments and assets recognized from costs incurred to obtain or fulfill a contract. This ASU will be effective for us in our first quarter of 2018. Early adoption is not permitted. The ASU allows for either full retrospective or modified retrospective adoption. We are evaluating the transition method that will be elected and the potential effects of the adoption of this ASU on our financial statements.

 

In June 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-12 – Compensation – Stock Compensation (Topic 718): “Accounting for share-based payments when the terms of an award provide that a performance target could be achieved after the requisite service period,” an update to the accounting standards related to stock compensation and accounting for share-based payments when the terms of an award provide that a performance target could be achieved after the requisite service period. The amendments clarify the proper method of accounting for share-based payments when the terms of an award provide that a performance target could as a performance condition. The performance target should not be reflected in estimating the grant-date fair value of the award. Compensation cost should be recognized be achieved after the requisite service period. This update requires that a performance target that affects vesting and that could be achieved after the requisite service period be treated in the period in which it becomes probable that the performance target will be achieved and should represent the compensation cost attributable to the period(s) for which the requisite service has already been rendered. The amendments in this update are effective for annual periods and interim periods within those annual periods beginning after December 15, 2015. Earlier adoption is permitted.  Management is currently evaluating the impact of adoption on the consolidated financial statements, but does not believe that adoption will have a material impact.

 

In August 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-14 – Receivables – Troubled Debt Restructurings by Creditors (Subtopic 310-40): Classification of Certain Government-Guaranteed Mortgage Loans upon Foreclosure, to address

18


 

Table of Contents

the diversity in practice regarding the classification and measurement of foreclosed loans which were part of a government-sponsored loan guarantee program (e.g. HUD, FHA, VA). The ASU outlines certain criteria that, if met, the loan (residential or commercial) should be derecognized and a separate other receivable should be recorded upon foreclosure at the amount of the loan balance (principal and interest) expected to be recovered from the guarantor. This ASU will be effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2014, including interim periods within that reporting period. Early adoption is permitted, provided the entity has adopted ASU 2014-04. The ASU should be adopted either prospectively or on a modified retrospective basis. Management is currently evaluating the impact of adoption on the consolidated financial statements, but does not believe that adoption will have a material impact.

 

In August 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-15 - Presentation of Financial Statements – Going Concern (Subtopic 205-40): Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern ,” to reduce diversity in the timing and content of going concern disclosures.  This ASU clarifies management’s responsibility to evaluate and provide related disclosures if there are any conditions or events, as a whole, that raise substantial doubt about the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern for one year after the date the financial statements are issued (or, if applicable, available to be issued). The amendments in this ASU are effective for the annual period ending after December 15, 2016, and for annual and interim periods thereafter. Early application is permitted. Management is currently evaluating the impact of adoption on the consolidated financial statements, but does not believe that adoption will have a material impact.

 

Summary Financial Results

 

The Company earned $2.1 million in 2014 compared to $4.0 million in 2013, a decrease of $1.9   million. The earnings equated to a 2014 return on average assets of .20 % and a return on average equity of 2.01 %, comp ared to prior year results of .51% and 5.11 %, respectively.  Basic earnings per share were $0.22 in 2014 compared to $0.59 in 2013 .

Diluted earnings per share wer e $0.22 in 2014 compared to $0.57 in 2013 .  

 

Ne t interest income increased $6.9 million, noninterest income decreased $2.5 million and noninte rest expenses increased by $7.1 million. The Bank’s yield on earning assets in 2014 was 3.85% compared to 3.77% in 2013. Despite extensive competiti on, total loans increased to $798.3 million at December 31, 2014 , from $622.3 million at December 31, 2013 .  The Bank’s ability to originate quality loans is supported by a minimal delinquency rate.

 

Deposits increased $127.4 million to $823.2 million at December 31, 2014 , from $695.8 million at December 31, 2013 .   The Bank offers an uncomplicated product design accompanied by a simple fee structure that is attractive to customers. The overall cost of funds for the bank wa s 0.93% in 2014 compared to 0.85% in 2013 . This cost of funds, combined with the earning asset yield, resulted in a net interest margin of 2.99% in 2014 compared to 2.99 % in 201 3 .

 

 

Interest Income and Expense

 

Net interest income is the amount by which interest income on earning assets exceeds interest expense incurred on interest-bearing liabilities. Interest-earning assets include loans, investment securities and certificates of deposit in other banks. Interest-bearing liabilities include interest-bearing deposits and borrowed funds such as sweep accounts and repurchase agreements. Net interest income remains the primary source of revenue for the Bank. Net interest income is also impacted by changes in market interest rates, as well as the mix of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities. Net interest income is also impacted favorably by increases in non-interest bearing demand deposits and equity.

 

Net interest margin is calculated by dividing net interest income by average interest-earning assets and serves as a measurement of the net revenue stream generated by the Bank’s balance sheet. As noted above, the net inter est margin was 2.99% in 2014 compared to 2.99% in 2013 . The net interest margin continues to face considerable pressure due to competitive pricing of loans and deposits in the Bank’s markets.  During 2014 , the Federal Reserve did not change rates and in fact committed to keep rates low through mid-2015.  Management’s estimate of the impact of future changes in market interest rates is shown in the section captioned “Interest Rate Risk.”

Company m anagement continues to analyze methods to deploy assets into an earning asset mix which will result in a stronger net interest margin. Loan growth continues to be strong and management anticipates that loan activity will remain strong in the near term future.

 

During 201 4 , net interest income increased by $ 6.9 million or 32.3% to $28.3 million from $21.4 million in 201 3 .  This increase is largely due to the growth in average earning assets, primarily $219.7 million in loans and loans held for sale.  Average total earning assets were $946.5 million in 201 4 compared to $ 715.0 million in 201 3 . Average total loans and lo a ns held for sale grew to $779.8 million in 201 4 from $560.1 million in 201 3 .  Primarily as a result of this growth, total i nterest income increased by $9. 4 million, or 35.1 %, to $36.4 million in 201 4 from $ 27.0 million in 201 3 . Average inves tment securities increased $5.1 milli on, mainly the result of a $10.6 million average increase in municipal investments offset by a $5.5 million decrease in available-for-sale investments . The increased yield on the mun icipal securities of 13 basis points helped to increase the total investment portfolio yield.  Average interest-bearing liabilities, mainly deposits, likewise increased in 201 4 by $210.2 million.  Average interest-bearing deposits grew to $710.4 million in 201 4 from $507.7 million in 201 3 .  Total interest ex pense increased by $2.5 million , caused by a $1.6 million increase in deposit interest and a $1.1 million increase in subordinated debt interest.  The result was an 8 basis point in crease in interest cost from 201 3 to 201 4 .

 

The Company’s earning assets increased $ 231.4 million and net i nterest income increased by $6.9 million. The net interest margin continues to be pressured by increased competition for high quality loan growth and the deposit volume required to fund the growth.

 

The Bank’s yield on earning assets changed during 201 4 as follows:  The loan portfolio yield decreased by 5 bas is points and the investment portfolio yield increased by 13 basis points while funding costs increased by 8 basis points.

 

The cost of interest-bearing liabilities increased to 0.93 % in 201 4 from 0.85 % in 201 3 . This in crease is primarily the result of a 409 basis point increase in the cost of subordinated debt . Further discussion on subordinated debt is included in Note 6 to the consolidated financial statements.

Provision for Loan Losses

 

The Company’s provision for loan losses for 201 4 and 201 3 were approximately $2.6 million and $2.3 million, respectively.

 

Determining the appropriate level of the Allowance for Loan Losses (ALL) requires considerable management judgment.  In exercising this judgment, management considers numerous internal and external factors including, but not limited to, portfolio growth, national and local economic conditions, trends in the markets served and guidance from the Bank’s primary regulators.  Management seeks to maintain an ALL that is appropriate in the circumstances and that complies with applicable accounting and regulatory standards.  Further discussion can be found later in this discussion under ‘Allowance for Loan Losses.”

 

Non-Interest Income

 

Gain on loans held for sale and insurance income generate the core of the Bank’s noninterest income. Also, service charges on deposit accounts continue to be part of the core of the Bank’s noninterest income and include mainly non-sufficient funds and returned check fees, allowable overdraft fees and service charges on commercial accounts.

The total of non-interest income for 201 4 was $25.9 million versus $28.4 million in 201 3 .

 

In 2014, gain on loans held for sale declined by $3.1   m illion due to lower loan production as a result of decreased refinance volume as well as the impact of a refinement in accounting estimate related to interest rate lock commitments.

 

MVB Mortgage sold a 25% share in a mortgage services company joint venture , Lender Services Provider, LLC (“LSP”), during the third quarter of 201 3. A gain of $626 was recognized on this one-time event that occurred in 2013.

23


 

 

During the ordinary course of business in 201 4 , the Bank sold several investment securities at a gain of $ 413 . All investments that were sold were classified as available-for-sale. MVB is always looking at ways to improve yield while maintaining a high quality short-term investment portfolio.

 

The Bank recognized income from the retention of servicing on mortgage loans sold of $ 6 in 201 4 versus $ 826 in 201 3 . This $ 820 de crease relates to increased amortization expense and decreased income due to a decrease in new serviced loans in 2014 versus 2013.  This was a specifically planned strategy to reduce this area as the mortgage company sells loans on a servicing released basis. The Bank’s mortgage service asset at $1.4 million remains a very insignificant piece of the balance sheet.

 

The Company is continually searching for ways to increase non-interest income.  Gains from loans sold in the secondary market continues to be a major area of focus for the Bank and the Compa ny, as well as insurance income . Insurance income increased by $1.8 million during 2014 .   This significant increase was the result of MVB Insurance becoming a direct subsidiary of the Company on June 1, 2013, at which point the insurance company increased both staffing and the number of insurance products offered and was able to record a full year of revenue in 2014 versus seven months in 2013 .  

 

Non-Interest Expense

 

Non-interest e xpense was $ 49.7 million in 201 4 versus $ 42.6 million in 201 3 .  Approximately 63% and 64 % of non-interest expense for 201 4 and 201 3 , respectively, related to personnel costs.  Personnel are the lifeblood of every service organization, which is why personnel costs are such a significant part of the expenditure mix.  Salaries and benefits increased by $4.1 million in 201 4 , this increase related to the following: the addition of new bank and mortgage offices , additional staffing related to organic growth and increases for existing staff .

 

Equipment and occupancy expense increased by $1.4 million in 2014.  This increase was mainly the result of the opening of multiple new bank and mortgage office location s, the completion of a new facility in Kanawha County, West Virginia and construction of a new facility in the West Virginia High Technology Park in Fairmont, Marion County, West Virginia .

 

Consulting expense in creased by $ 274 in 201 4 .  This in crease r elated mainly to merger and acquisition activity that took place throughout most of 2014.

 

Data processing increased by $ 448 in 2014. The increase was largely driven by overall growth in terms in personnel and office space company wide and the usage of additional products, services and providers to better serve the client base.

 

FDIC insurance increase d from $489 in 2013 to $819 in 2014, the direct result of continued deposit growth.

 

Income Taxes

 

The Company inc urred an income tax benefit of $96 in 201 4 and income tax expense of $1.0 million in 201 3 .

 

The Company’s effe ctive tax rate decreased from 20 % in 201 3 to negative 5 % in 201 4 . This decrease was largely driven by the increase in tax-free income on loans and securities ,   w hich increased by $484 in 2014, and the decline in pre-tax earnings.

 

Return on Assets

 

The Company’s return on average assets was .20% in 2014 , compared to .5 1% in 201 3 . The decreased return in 2014 is a direct result of a $1.9 million decrease in earnings, while average total assets increased by $241.7 million, mainly the result of a $219.7 million increase in average total gross loans.

 

24


 

Return on Equity

 

MVB Financial Corp.’s return on average stockholders’ equity (“ROE”) was 2.01 % in 201 4 , compared to 5.11 % in 201 3 . The decreased return in 2014 is a direct result of a $1.9 million decrease in earnings , while average equity increased by $ 24.9 million as a result of the completion of a $ 15.6 million private common stock o ffering to accredited investors and a $7.8 million preferred stock offering.

 

Overview of the Statement of Condition

 

The balance sheet changed significantly from 201 3 to 201 4 .  Loans increased by $17 6.0   million to $798 .3 million at December 31, 2014 Investment securities decreased by $40.3 million, d eposits increased by $ 127.4 million, repurchase agreements de creased by $ 48.9 million , subo rdinated debt increased by $29.4 million and stockho lders’ equity increased by $15.4 million.

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

Cash and cash equivalents totaled $ 30.1 million at December 31, 2014 , compared to $ 39.8 million at December 31, 2013 .  This increase was due to a $15.5 million decrease in balances in the cash and due from bank accounts and a $5.7 million increase in interest bearing balances at year end.

 

Management believes the current balance of cash and cash equivalents adequately serves the Company’s liquidity and performance needs. Total cash and cash equivalents fluctuate on a daily basis due to transactions in process and other liquidity demands. Management believes liquidity needs are satisfied by the current balance of cash and cash equivalents, readily available access to traditional and non-traditional funding sources, and the portions of the investment and loan portfolios that mature within one year. These sources of funds should enable the Company to meet cash obligations as they come due.

 

Investment Securities

 

Investment securities totaled $ 122.8 million at December 31, 2014 , compared to $ 163.1 million at December 31, 2013 .

Investment securities are a fairly even mix of available-for-sale and held-to-maturity .  Management believes the available-for-sale classification provides flexibility in terms of managing the portfolio for liquidity, yield enhancement and interest rate risk management opportunities.  At December 31, 2014 , the amortized cost of investment securities totaled $ 123.4 million, resulting in unrealized gain in the investment portfolio of $ 657 The Company decreased

available-for-sale securities during 2014 in order to take advantage of rate opportunities yielding gains and to free up room for increased loan growth .   The entire municipal portfolio is currently classified as held to maturity.  The municipal portfolio continues to give the company the ability to pledge and to better the effective tax rate.

Management monitors the earnings performance and liquidity of the investment portfolio on a regular basis through Asset and Liability Committee (“ALCO”) meetings.  The ALCO also monitors net interest income and manages interest rate risk for the Company.  Through active balance sheet management and analysis of the investment securities portfolio, sufficient liquidity is maintained to satisfy depositor requirements and the various credit needs of its customers.  Management believes the risk characteristics inherent in the investment portfolio are acceptable based on these parameters.

 

Loans

 

The Company’s lending is primarily focused in Marion, Harrison, Berkeley, Jefferson , Kanawha and Monongalia County, West Virginia with a secondary focus on the adjacent counties in West Virginia. Northern Virginia is also a key area of focus for the Bank in the commercial and secondary market lending arena.   The portfolio consists principally of commercial lending, retail lending, which includes single-family residential mortgages and consumer lending. Loans totaled $ 798 .3 million as of December 31, 2014 , compared to $ 622.3 million at December 31, 2013 .

 

During 201 4 , the Bank e xperienced loan growth of $176.0 million.  The most significant portion of the growth came in the residential real estate and commercial and non-residential real estate area.  Residential real estate and home equity loans grew $74.4 million and commercial and non-residential real estate loans grew approximately $ 103.4 million.

At December 31, 2014 , commercial loans represented the largest portion of the portfolio approximating 70.3 % of the total loan portfolio. Commercial loans totaled $ 560.8 million at December 31, 2014 , compared to $ 457.4 million at December 31, 2013 .   Management will continue to focus on the enhancement and growth of the commercial loan portfolio while maintaining appropriate underwriting standards and risk/price balance.

 

Residential real estate loans to retail customers (including home equity lines of credit) account for the second largest portion of the loan portfolio, comprising 27.6 % of the total loan portfolio. Residential real estate and home equity loans totaled $ 220.4 million at December 31, 2014 , compared to $146 .0 million at December 31, 2013 .  Included in residential real estate loans are home equity credit lines totaling $ 45.9 million at December 31, 2014 , compared to $27 .8 million at December 31, 2013 . Management believes the home equity loans are competitive products with an acceptable return on investment after risk considerations. Residential real estate lending continues to represent a primary focus due to the lower risk factors associated with this type of loan and the opportunity to provide service to those in the Marion, Harrison, Berkeley, Jefferson , Kanawha and Monongalia County markets , as well as Northern Virginia .

 

Consumer lending continues to be a part of core lending. At December 31, 2014 , consumer loan balances totaled $ 17.1 million compared to $ 18.9 million at December 31, 2013 .  The majority of consumer loans are in the direct lending area.  Management is pleased with the performance and quality of the consumer loan portfolio, which can be attributed to the many years of experience of its consumer lenders.  This is another important product necessary to serve our market areas.

Loan Concentration

 

At December 31, 2014 , commercial loans comprised the largest component of the loan portfolio.  There are very few commercial loans that are not secured by real estate.  Such non-real estate secured loans generally are lines of credit secured by accounts receivable.  While the loan concentration is in commercial loans, the commercial portfolio is comprised of loans to many different borrowers, in numerous different industries but primarily located in our market areas.

Allowance for Loan Losses

 

Management continually monitors the risk in the loan portfolio through review of the monthly delinquency reports and the Loan Review Committee.  The Loan Review Committee is responsible for the determination of the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses. This analysis involves both experience of the portfolio to date and the makeup of the overall portfolio.  Specific loss estimates are derived for individual loans based on specific criteria such as current delinquent status, related deposit account activity, where applicable, local market rumors, which are generally based on some factual information, and changes in the local and national economy.  While local market rumors are not measurable or perhaps not readily supportable, historically, this form of information has been a valuable indication of a potential problem.

 

The result of the evaluation of the adequacy at each period presented herein indicated that the allowance for loan losses was considered adequate to absorb losses inherent in the loan portfolio.

 

At December 31, 2014 and 2013 impaired loa ns totaled $1 4 .8 million and $6.6 million respectively.  A portion of the Allowance f or Loan Losses of $690 and $1,458 was allocated to cover any loss in these loans at December 31, 2014 and 2013 , respectively.  Loans past due more than 30 days w ere $26.6 million and $2.8 million, respectively, at December 31, 2014 and 2013 .

Non-performing assets consist of loans that are no longer accruing interest, loans that have been renegotiated to below market rates based upon financial difficulties of the borrower, and real estate acquired through foreclosure.  When interest accruals are suspended, accrued interest income is reversed with current year accruals charged to earnings and prior year amounts generally charged off as a credit loss.  When, in management’s judgment, the borrower’s ability to make periodic interest and principal payments resumes and collectability is no longer in doubt, the loa n is returned to

accrual status. Interest income on loans would have increased by approximately $ 221 if loans had performed in accordance with their terms.

Funding Sources

 

The Bank considers a number of alternatives, including but not limited to deposits, short-term borrowings, and long-term borrowings when evaluating funding sources. Traditional deposits continue to be the most significant source of funds, totaling $ 823.2 million, or 83.1 % of funding sources at December 31, 2014 .  This same information at December 31, 2013 reflected $ 695.8 million in deposits representing 7 8 .5% of such funding sources .  Cash management accounts, which are available to large corporate customers, represented 3.3 % and 9.2 % of funding sources at December 31, 2014 and 2013 , respectively.  Borrowings represented the remainder of such funding sources.

 

Management continues to emphasize the development of additional non-interest-bearing deposits as a core funding source for MVB. At December 31, 2014 , non-interest-bearing balances totaled $ 67.1 million compared to $ 63.3 million at December 31, 2013 or 8.2 % and 9.1 % of total deposits respectively.

Along with traditional deposits, the Bank has access to both overnight repurchase agreements and short-term borrowings from FHLB to fund its operations and investments. Repurchase agreements totaled $ 32.7 million at December 31, 2014 , compared to $81.6 million in 201 3 . Short-term bo rrowings from FHLB totaled $95.8 million at December 31, 2014 , compared to $98.0 million at year-end 201 3 .

 

Capital/Stockholders’ Equity

 

During the year ended December 31, 2014 , stockholders’ equity increased approximately $15.4 million to $ 109.4 million. This increase consists of net income for the year of $2.1 million, al ong with capital raises of $5.8   million to accredited investors and $7.8 million in newly issued preferred stock . Although stockholders’ equity increased as noted above, the equity to assets ratio only increased 0.33% to 9.8 6 % due to the incr ease in total assets during 2014 . The Company paid dividends to common shareholders of $ 636 in 2014 and $537 in 201 3 which increased the dividend payout ratio from 13.36 % in 201 3 to 30.59 % in 201 4 .

 

At December 31, 2014 , accumulated other comprehensive loss totaled $2.6 million, a de crease in the loss of $ 319 from December 31, 2013 . This principally represents net unrealized loss on available-for-sale securities, net of income taxes, and the adjustment to pension liability, net of income taxes, at December 31, 2014 .  Because the majority of all the investment securities in the portfolio are classified as available-for-sale, both the investment and equity sections of the balance sheet are more sensitive to the changing market values of investments than those institutions that classify more

31


 

of their investment portfolio as “held to maturity”.  Interest rate fluctuations between year-end 201 4 and 201 3 resulted in the change in market value of the portfolio.

 

The Bank has also complied with the standards of capital adequacy mandated by the banking industry. Bank regulators have established “risk-based” capital requirements designed to measure capital adequacy. Risk-based capital ratios reflect the relative risks of various assets banks hold in their portfolios. A weight category of 0% (lowest risk assets), 20%, 50%, or 100% (highest risk assets) is assigned to each asset on the balance sheet. D etailed information concerning t he Company’s risk-based capital ratios can be found in Note 14 of the Notes to the Audited Financial Statements. At December 31, 2014 , the Company’s risk-based capital ratios were above the minimum standards for a well-capitalized institution. The total risk-based capital ratio of 16.4 % at December 31, 2014 , is above the well-capitalized standard of 10%. The Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio of 12.0 % also exceeded the well-capitalized minimum of 6%. The leverage ratio at December 31, 2014 , was 9.0 % and was also above the well-capitalized standard of 5%.  Management believes our capital continues to provide a strong base for profitable growth.

 

Liquidity and Interest Rate Sensitivity

 

The objective of the asset/liability management function is to maintain consistent growth in net interest income within its policy guidelines. This objective is accomplished through management of balance sheet liquidity and interest rate risk exposure based on changes in economic conditions, interest rate levels, and customer preferences.

 

Interest Rate Risk

 

The most significant market risk resulting from the normal course of business, extending loans and accepting deposits, is interest rate risk. Interest rate risk is the potential for economic loss due to future interest rate changes which can impact both the earnings stream as well as market values of financial assets and liabilities. The Asset/Liability Committee (ALCO) is responsible for the overall review and management of the Bank’s balance sheets related to the management of interest rate risk. The ALCO strives to stay focused on the future, anticipating and exploring alternatives, rather than simply reacting to change after the fact.

 

To this end, the ALCO has established an interest risk management policy that sets the minimum requirements and guidelines for monitoring and controlling the level and amount of interest rate risk. The objective of the interest rate risk policy is to encourage management to adhere to sound fundamentals of banking while allowing sufficient flexibility to exercise the creativity and innovations necessary to meet the challenges of changing markets. The ultimate goal of these policies is to optimize net interest income within the constraints of prudent capital adequacy, liquidity, and safety.

 

The ALCO relies on different methods of assessing interest rate risk including simulating net interest income, monitoring the sensitivity of the net present market value of equity or economic value of equity, and monitoring the difference or gap between maturing or rate-sensitive assets and liabilities over various time periods. The ALCO places emphasis on simulation modeling as the most beneficial measurement of interest rate risk due to its dynamic measure. By employing a simulation process that measures the impact of potential changes in interest rates and balance sheet structures, and by establishing limits on changes in net income and net market value, the ALCO is better able to evaluate the possible risks associated with alternative strategies.

 

The simulation process starts with a base case simulation which represents projections of current balance sheet growth trends. Base case simulation results are prepared under a flat interest rate forecast and what is perceived to be the most likely alternative interest rate forecast. Comparisons showing the earnings variance from the flat rate forecast illustrate the risks associated with the current balance sheet strategy. If necessary, additional balance sheet strategies are developed and simulations prepared.  The results from model simulations are reviewed for indications of whether current interest rate risk strategies are accomplishing their goal and, if not, what alternative strategies should be considered. The policy calls for periodic review by the ALCO of assumptions used in the modeling.

 

The ALCO believes that it is beneficial to monitor interest rate risk for both the short-and long-term. Therefore, to effectively evaluate results from model simulations, limits on changes in net interest income and the value of the balance sheet have been established. The ALCO has determined that the earnings at risk shall not change more than 10 % from

32


 

the base case for a 1% shift in interest rates, nor more than 15 % from the base case for a 2% shift in interest rates.  MVB is in compliance with this policy as of December 31, 2014 .

Liquidity

 

Maintenance of a sufficient level of liquidity is a primary objective of the ALCO. Liquidity, as defined by the ALCO, is the ability to meet anticipated operating cash needs, loan demand, and deposit withdrawals, without incurring a sustained negative impact on net interest income. It is MVB’s policy to manage liquidity so that there is no need to make unplanned sales of assets or to borrow funds under emergency conditions.

 

The main source of liquidity for the Bank comes through deposit growth. Liquidity is also provided from cash generated from investment maturities, principal payments from loans, and income from loans and investment securities. During the year ended December 31, 2014 , cash provided by fin ancing activities totaled $117.2 million, while outflows from i nvesting activity totaled $151.9 million. When appropriate, the Bank has the ability to take advantage of external sources of funds such as advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB), national market certificate of deposit issuance programs, the Federal Reserve discount window, brokered deposits and CDARS. These external sources often provide attractive interest rates and flexible maturity dates that enable the Bank to match funding with contractual maturity dates of assets. Securities in the investment portfolio are primarily classified as available-for-sale and can be utilized as an additional source of liquidity.

 

Off-Balance Sheet Commitments

 

The Bank has entered into certain agreements that represent off-balance sheet arrangements that could have a significant impact on the financial statements and could have a significant impact in future periods. Specifically, the Bank has entered into agreements to extend credit or provide conditional payments pursuant to standby and commercial letters of credit. Further discussion of these agreements, including the amounts outstanding at December 31, 2014 , is included in Note 7 to the consolidated financial statements.

 

Commitments to extend credit, including loan commitments, standby letters of credit, and commercial letters of credit do not necessarily represent future cash requirements, in that these commitments often expire without being drawn upon.

 

Fourth Quarter

 

Fourth quarter net loss was $585 in 2014  c ompared to $591 net income in the fourth quarter of 2013 .  This equated to basic earnings per share, on a quarterly basis, of $.09 loss in 2014 and $.16 in 2013 .  Diluted earnings per share for the fourth quarter of 2014 and 2013 were $.09 loss and $.16 , respectively.  Net interest income increased during the fourth quarter and was $7.3 milli on in the fourt h quarter of 2014 compared to $6 .2 million in 201 3. Non-interest income was $6.3 million in the fourt h quarter of 2014 compared to $5 .4 million in 2013 .  Non-interest expense increased to $14.4 million for the fourth quarter of 2014 from $10.6 million in 2013 Loan loss provision was $390 for the fourth quarter of 2014, an increase of $123 over the fourth quarter of 2013 .

Earnings in the fourth quarter of 2014 for MVB were down $1.2 million from the fourth quarter 2013. This decrease in earnings was seen in all three segments of operations.

 

The commercial and retail banking segment of MVB showed a decrease in earnings from t he fourth quarter of 2014 by $444 from the same period one year prior due mainly to the following items. Net interest margin increased $774 due to the Company’s strong balance sheet growth, namely loan growth of $220 million and deposit growth of $203 million. Even so, the growth in margin included the negative impact of interest expense of $533 related to the addition of $29.4 million of subordinated debt which was not present in the prior year period. Salaries and benefits increased by $928 as a result of the staff additions related to the opening of loan production offices in Northern Virginia and Charleston, WV, and the addition of key staff members in both the commercial lending area and to the executive management team. Finally, other expenses decreased by $568, mostly the result of: a $175 increase in occupancy expense as the result of additional locations, a $152 increase in FDIC insurance as the result of deposit growth, a $128 increase in advertising and a $110 increase in data processing expense due to increased volume and product additions.

 

The mortgage segment of the Company showed a decrease in fourth quarter earnings of $588 as a result of the following items. Gains on the sale of loans into the secondary market increased by $1.5 million as a result of greater fourth quarter volume in 2014. Salaries and benefits increased by $1.7 million as a result of increased commission expense due to greater production volume and the addition of lenders in key markets. Additionally, the quarter was negatively impacted by $706 related to management’s refinement of an accounting estimate related to interest rate lock commitments. In addition, there was a larger tax benefit of $258 due to the larger operating loss versus prior year.

 

Finally, t he insurance segment of MVB sh owed an earnings decrease of $144 in the fourth quarter of 2014 compared to the same period in 2013. The largest portion of this earnings decrease is the result of the resolution of legal matters during the quarter which totaled $25 0 and a larger tax benefit of $44 due to the larger operating loss versus prior year.

 

 

Future Outlook

 

The Company’s net incom e in 2014 was down from the prior year, mainly due to a focus on growing the potential of each segment of the business. The Company has invested in the infrastructure to support envisioned future growth in each key area, including personnel, technology and processes to meet the growing compliance requirements in the industry. Commercial and retail loan production remains strong and mortgage and insurance have added staff and locations to ramp up production and improve profitability. The Company believes it is well positioned in some of the finest markets in the states of West Virginia and Virginia and will focus on doing the things that have made it successful thus far through the following: margin improvement; leveraging capital; organic portfolio loan growth; and operating efficiency. The critical challenge for the Company in the future is to attract core deposits to fund growth in the new markets through continued delivery of the most outstanding customer service with the highest quality products and technology .

Note 1.  SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Business and Organization

 

MVB Financial Corp. (“the Company”) was formed on January 1, 2004, as a bank holding company and, effective December 19, 2012, became a financial holding company.  The Company features multiple subsidiaries and affiliated businesses, including MVB Bank, Inc. (the “Bank” or “MVB Bank”) and its wholly-owned subsidiary MVB Mortgage and MVB Insurance, LLC (“MVB Insurance”).

 

The Bank was formed on October 30, 1997 and chartered under the laws of the State of West Virginia.  The Bank commenced operations on January 4, 1999. As of December 31, 2014 , the bank operates nine full-service banking branches in Marion, Harrison, Monongalia, Jefferson and Berkley counties, West Virginia and loan production offices in Harrison and Kanawha Counties in West Virginia The Bank serves individual and corporate customers and is subject to competition from other financial institutions and intermediaries with respect to these services.  The Company and Bank are regulated by the West Virginia Division of Financial Institutions and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC).

 

During 2012, the Bank acquired Potomac Mortgage Group, Inc. (“PMG” which, following July 15, 2013, began doing business under the registered trade name “MVB Mortgage”), a mortgage company in the northern Virginia area, and fifty percent (50%) interest in a mortgage services company, Lender Service Provider, LLC (“LSP”).  In the third quarter of 2013, this fifty percent (50%) interest in LSP was reduced to a twenty-five percent (25%) interest through a sale of a partial interest.  This PMG acquisition provided the Company and the Bank the opportunity to make the mortgage banking operation a much more significant line of business to further diversify its net income stream.   MVB Mortgage has eleven mortgage only offices, located in Virginia, within the Washington, District of Columbia metropolitan area as well as North Carolina and South Carolina, and, in addition, has mortgage loan originators located at select Bank locations throughout West Virginia.

 

MVB Insurance was originally formed in 2000 and reinstated in 2005, as a Bank subsidiary.  Effective June 1, 2013, MVB Insurance became a direct subsidiary of the Company.  MVB Insurance offers select insurance products such as title insurance, individual insurance, commercial insurance, employee benefits insurance, and professional liability insurance.  MVB Insurance maintains its headquarters in Fairmont, West Virginia, and operates offices in Morgantown, West Virginia and Triadelphia, West Virginia.

 

A summary of significant accounting and reporting policies applied in the presentation of the accompanying financial statements follows:

 

Basis of Presentation

 

The financial statements are consolidated to include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries and affiliated businesses, MVB Insurance, LLC, and MVB Bank, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiary, MVB Mortgage.  These statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.  All significant inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated in the consolidated financial statements.

 

In preparing the financial statements, management makes estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses for the period.  Actual results could differ significantly from those estimates.  Material estimates that are particularly susceptible to significant change relate to determination of the allowance for loan losses , derivative instruments, goodwill and deferred tax assets and liabilities.

Operating Segments

 

An operating segment is defined as a component of an enterprise that engages in business activities that generates revenue and incurs expense, and the operating results of which are reviewed by the chief operating decision maker in the determination of resource allocation and performance.  While the Company’s chief decision makers monitor the revenue streams of the various Company’s products and services, operations are managed and financial performance is evaluated on a Company-wide basis.  D ue to the formation of the insurance subsidiary and increased mortgage banking activity, the Company’s business activities include three primary segments: commercial and retail banking, mortgage banking and insurance services.

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

Cash equivalents include cash on hand, deposits in banks and interest-earning deposits.  Interest-earning deposits with original maturities of 90 days or less are considered cash equivalents. Net cash flows are reported for loan s , deposits and short term borrowing transactions.

 

Management Estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.  Estimates, such as the allowance for loan losses, are based upon known facts and circumstances.  Estimates are revised by management in the period such facts and circumstances change. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

 

Loans Held for Sale

 

Through multiple secondary market investors, MVB Mortgage has the ability to offer customers long-term fixed rate and variable rate mortgage products without holding these instruments in the bank’s loan portfolio.  MVB Mortgage values loans held for sale at fair value. Occasionally the Bank will sell portfolio loans and have them classified as loans held for sale. These loans are recorded at lower of cost or market.  

 

Derivative Financial Instruments

 

The Company enters into commitments to originate mortgage loans whereby the interest rate on the loan is determined prior to funding (rate lock commitments).  Rate lock commitments on mortgage loans that are intended to be sold are considered to be derivatives.  The period of time between issuance of a loan commitment and closing and sale of the loan generally ranges from 30 to 120 days.  The Company protects itself from changes in interest rates through the use of both mandatory delivery arrangements and best efforts forward delivery commitments, whereby the Company commits to sell a loan at the time the borrower commits to an interest rate with the intent that the buyer has assumed interest rate risk on the loan.  As a result, the Company limits the exposure of losses with these arrangements and will not realize significant gains related to its rate lock commitments due to changes in interest rates.  The correlation between the rate lock commitments and the forward sales commitments is very high due to their similarity.

 

The fair value of rate lock commitments and forward sales commitments   is not readily ascertainable with precision because rate lock commitments and forward sales commitments   are not actively traded in stand-alone-markets.  The Company determines the fair value of rate lock commitments and forward sales commitments   by measuring the change in the value of the underlying asset while taking into consideration the probability that the rate lock commitments will close . During the fourth quarter 2014, management refined their calculation of interest rate locks to incl ude the cost to originate l oans, which resulted in a on e -time expense of $706 .

Loans and Allowance for Loan Losses

 

Loans are stated at the amount of unpaid principal reduced by an allowance for loan losses.  Loans are considered delinquent when scheduled principal or interest payments are 3 0 days past due.  Interest income on loans is recognized on an accrual basis.  The allowance for loan losses is maintained at a level deemed adequate to absorb probable losses inherent in the loan portfolio.  The Company consistently applies a quarterly loan review process to continually evaluate loans for changes in credit risk.  This process serves as the primary means by which the Company evaluates the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses, and is based upon periodic review of the collectability of loans in light of historical experience, the nature and volume of the loan portfolio, adverse situations that may affect the borrower’s ability to repay, estimated value of any underlying collateral and prevailing economic conditions.  This evaluation is inherently subjective as it requires estimates that are susceptible to significant revision as more information becomes available.

 

The allowance consists of specific and general components.  The specific component relates to loans that are impaired.  The general component covers non-classified loans and is based upon historical loss experience adjusted for qualitative factors. 

 

The Company allocates the allowance based on the factors described below, which conform to the Company’s loan classification policy. In reviewing risk within the Bank’s loan portfolio, management has determined there to be several different risk categories within the loan portfolio. The allowance for loan losses consists of amounts applicable to: (i) residential real estate loans; (ii) commercial and commercial real estate secured loans; (iii) home equity loans; (iv) consumer and other loans. Factors considered in this process include general loan terms, collateral, and availability of historical data to support the analysis. Historical loss percentages for each loan category are calculated and used as the basis for calculating allowance allocations. Certain qualitative factors are evaluated to determine additional inherent risks in the loan portfolio, which are not necessarily reflected in the historical loss percentages. These factors are then added to the historical allocation percentage s to get the adjusted factor to be applied to non-classified loans on a weighted basis, by risk grade . The following qualitative factors are analyzed:

 

·

Lending policies and procedures

·

Change in volume and severity of past due loans

·

Nature and volume of the portfolio

·

Experience and ability of management

·

Volume and severity of problem credits

·

Results of loan reviews , audits and exams

·

National, state, regional and local economic trends and business conditions

·

General economic conditions

·

Unemployment rates

·

Inflation / CPI

·

Changes in values of underlying collateral for collateral-dependent loans

·

Value of underlying collateral

·

Existence and effect of any credit concentrations, and changes in the level of such concentrations

 

The Company analyzes its loan portfolio each quarter to determine the appropriateness of its allowance for loan losses.

 

A loan is considered impaired when, based upon current information and events, it is probable that the Company will be unable to collect the scheduled payments of principal or interest when due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement.  Factors considered by management in determining impairment include payment status, collateral value, and the probability of collecting scheduled principal and interest payments when due.  Loans that experience insignificant payment delays and shortages generally are not classified as impaired.  Generally the Company considers impaired loans to include loans cla ssified as non-accrual loans, loans past due for longer than 90 days and troubled debt restructurings.

Accounting standards require that loan origination and commitment fees and direct loan origination costs be deferred and the net amount amortized as an adjustment of the related loan’s yield.

 

Troubled Debt Restructurings (TDRs)

 

A restructuring of debt constitutes a TDR if the creditor for economic or legal reasons related to the debtor’s financial difficulties grants a concession to the debtor that it would not otherwise consider.  The determination of whether a concession has been granted includes an evaluation of the debtor’s ability to access funds at a market rate for debt with similar risk characteristics and among other things, the significance of the modification relative to unpaid principal or collateral value of the debt, and/or the significance of a delay in the timing of payments relative to the frequency of payments, original maturity date or the expected duration of the loan.  The most common concessions granted generally include one or more modifications to the terms of the debt such as a reduction in the interest rate for the remaining life of the debt, an extension of the maturity date at an interest rate lower than the current market rate for new debt with similar risk, or reduction of the unpaid principal or interest.  All TDRs are considered impaired loans.

 

Mortgage Servicing Rights

 

Mortgage servicing rights (MSRs) are recorded when the Bank sells mortgage loans and retains the servicing on those loans.  On a monthly basis, MVB tracks the amount of mortgage loans that are sold with servicing retained.  A valuation is done to determine the MSR’s value, which is then recorded as an asset and amortized over the period of estimated net servicing revenues. The balance of MSR’s is evaluated for impairment quarterly, and was determined not to be impaired at December 31, 2014 or 201 3 .  Servicing loans for others generally consists of collecting mortgage payments from borrowers, maintaining escrow accounts, remitting payments to third party investors and when necessary, foreclosure processing.  Serviced loans are not included in the Consolidated Balance Sheets.  The amortization taken on the servicing asset for the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013 was $ 574 and $ 369 , respectively.  At December 31, 2014 and 2013 , total loans serviced for   others totaled $ 322,920 and $ 248,491 , respectively.

 

Interest Rate Cap

 

The Company has entered into a rate protection transaction through SMBC Capital Markets, Inc. covering the period November 26, 2014 through December 1, 2019. The notional amount is $100 million and 3 month Libor is the underlying rate and the strike price is 3% . The 5 year coverage is broken into 20 quarterly caps. The Company’s fixed cost in the interest rate cap was $1.5 million. The credit support provider must maintain a long-term senior unsecured debt rating of A or better by S&P and A2 or better by Moody’s.  

 

Premises and Equipment

 

Premises and equipment are carried at cost less accumulated depreciation.  The provision for depreciation is computed for financial reporting by the straight-line-method based on the estimated useful lives of assets, which range from 7 to 40 years on buildings and leasehold improvements and 3 to 10 years on furniture, fixtures and equipment.

 

Intangible Assets and Goodwill

 

The Company tests goodwill for impairment on an annual basis.  If it is determined that the fair value of the reporting unit is less than the carrying value of the unit, the Company would be required to recognize impairment equal to the difference between the fair value and the carrying value.  Based upon this assessment it was determined that goodwill was not impaired at December 31, 2014 or 2013 . As of December 31, 2014 and 2013 , the Company had goodwill of $17.8 million for both years.

Restricted Bank Stock

 

The Bank is a member of the FHLB of Pittsburgh and as such, is required to maintain a minimum investment in stock of the FHLB that varies with the level of advances outstanding with the FHLB. As of December 31, 2014 and 2013 , the Bank holds $ 5,2 18 and $ 6,267 , respectively. The stock is bought from and sold to the FHB based upon its $100 par value. The stock does not have a readily determinable fair value and as such is classified as restricted stock, carried at cost and evaluated by management. The stock’s value is determined by the ultimate recoverability of the par value rather than by recognizing temporary declines. The determination of whether the par value will ultimately be recovered is influenced by criteria such as the following: (a) A significant decline in net assets of the FHLB as compared to the capital stock amount and the length of time this situation has persisted (b) commitments by the FHLB to make payments required by law or regulation and the level of such payments in relation to the operating performance (c) the impact of legislative and regulatory changes on the customer base of the FHLB and (d) the liquidity position of the FHLB. Management evaluated the stock and concluded that the stock was not impaired for the periods presented herein.  Management considered that the FHLB’s regulatory capital ratios have improved in the most recent quarters, liquidity appears adequate, new shares of FHLB stock continue to exchange hands at the $100 par value and the FHLB has repurchased shares of excess capital stock from its me mbers during 2013 and 2014 and has reinstituted the dividend.

 

Income Taxes

 

The Company and the Bank file a consolidated federal income tax return.  Deferred tax assets and liabilities are computed based on the difference between the financial statement basis and income tax basis of assets and liabilities using the enacted marginal tax rates.  Deferred income tax expenses or benefits are based on the changes in the net deferred tax asset or liability from period to period.

 

Stock Based Compensation

 

Compensation cost is recognized for stock options issued to employees, based on the fair value of these awards at the date of grant.     A Black-Scholes model is utilized to estimate the fair value of stock options. Compensation cost is recognized over the required service period, generally defined as the vesting period. For awards with graded vesting, compensation cost is recognized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period for the entire award.

 

 

Foreclosed Assets Held for Resale

 

Foreclosed assets held for resale acquired in satisfaction of mortgage obligations and in foreclosure proceedings are recorded at fair value less estimated selling costs at the time of foreclosure, with any valuation adjustments charged to the allowance for loan losses.  Any gains or losses on sale are then recorded in other non-interest expense.  At December 31, 2014 and 2013 , the Company held other real estate of $5 75 and $ 375 .

Comprehensive Income

 

Accounting principles generally require that recognized revenue, expenses, gains and losses be included in net income.  Although certain changes in assets and liabilities, such as unrealized gains and losses on available-for-sale securities and minimum pension liability, are reported as a separate component of the equity section of the Consolidated Balance Sheet, such items, along with net income, are components of comprehensive income.

 

Bank-owned life insurance

 

Bank-owned life insurance (“BOLI”) represents life insurance on the lives of certain Company employees who have provided positive consent allowing the Company to be the beneficiary of such policies.  These policies are recorded at their cash surrender value, or the amount that can be realized upon surrender of the policy.  Income from these policies is not subject to income taxes and is recorded as other income.

 

Advertising Costs

 

Advertising costs are expensed as incurred. Advertising expense was $1.4 million and $ 1.4 million for 201 4 and 201 3 , respectively.

 

Transfers of Financial Assets

 

Transfers of financial assets are accounted for as sales when control over the assets has been surrendered.  Control over transferred assets is deemed to be surrendered when (i) the assets have been isolated from the company, (ii) the transferee obtains the right (free of conditions that constrain it from taking advantage of that right) to pledge or exchange the transferred assets, and (iii) the Company does not maintain effective control over the transferred assets through an agreement to repurchase them before their maturity.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

In January 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standard Update ("ASU") No. 2014-04, "Reclassification of Residential Real Estate Collateralized Consumer Mortgage Loans upon Foreclosure." The objective of this guidance is to clarify when an in substance repossession or foreclosure occurs, that is, when a creditor should be considered to have received physical possession of residential real estate property collateralizing a consumer mortgage loan such that the loan receivable should be derecognized and the real estate property recognized. ASU No. 2014-04 states that an in substance repossession or foreclosure occurs, and a creditor is considered to have received physical possession of residential real estate property collateralizing a consumer mortgage loan, upon either (1) the creditor obtaining legal title to the residential real estate property upon completion of a foreclosure or (2) the borrower conveying all interest in the residential real estate property to the creditor to satisfy that loan through completion of a deed in lieu of foreclosure or through a similar legal agreement. Additionally, ASU No. 2014-04 requires interim and annual disclosure of both (1) the amount of foreclosed residential real estate property held by the creditor and (2) the recorded investment in consumer mortgage loans collateralized by residential real estate property that are in the process of foreclosure according to local requirements of the applicable jurisdiction. ASU No. 2014-04 is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2014. The adoption of ASU No. 2014-04 is not expected to have a material impact on MVB Financials Corp’s Consolidated Financial Statements.

 

In May 2014 , the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, “ Revenue from Contracts with Customers, which will supersede nearly all existing revenue recognition guidance under U.S. GAAP. The core principal of this ASU is that an entity should recognize revenue when it transfers promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. This ASU also requires additional disclosure about the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from customer contracts, including significant judgments and changes in judgments and assets recognized from costs incurred to obtain or fulfill a contract. This ASU will be effective for us in our first quarter of 2018. Early adoption is not permitted. The ASU allows for either full retrospective or modified retrospective adoption. We are evaluating the transition method that will be elected and the potential effects of the adoption of this ASU on our financial statements.

 

In June 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-12 – Compensation – Stock Compensation (Topic 718): “Accounting for share-based payments when the terms of an award provide that a performance target could be achieved after the requisite service period,” an update to the accounting standards related to stock compensation and accounting for share-based payments when the terms of an award provide that a performance target could be achieved after the requisite service period. The amendments clarify the proper method of accounting for share-based payments when the terms of an award provide that a performance target could as a performance condition. The performance target should not be reflected in estimating the grant-date fair value of the award. Compensation cost should be recognized be achieved after the requisite service period. This update requires that a performance target that affects vesting and that could be achieved after the requisite service period be treated in the period in which it becomes probable that the performance target will be achieved and should represent the compensation cost attributable to the period(s) for which the requisite service has already been rendered. The amendments in this update are effective for annual periods and interim periods within those annual periods beginning after December 15, 2015. Earlier adoption is permitted.  Management is currently evaluating the impact of adoption on the consolidated financial statements, but does not believe that adoption will have a material impact.

In August 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-14 – Receivables – Troubled Debt Restructurings by Creditors (Subtopic 310-40): Classification of Certain Government-Guaranteed Mortgage Loans upon Foreclosure, to address the diversity in practice regarding the classification and measurement of foreclosed loans which were part of a government-sponsored loan guarantee program (e.g. HUD, FHA, VA). The ASU outlines certain criteria that, if met, the loan (residential or commercial) should be derecognized and a separate other receivable should be recorded upon foreclosure at the amount of the loan balance (principal and interest) expected to be recovered from the guarantor. This ASU will be effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2014, including interim periods within that reporting period. Early adoption is permitted, provided the entity has adopted ASU 2014-04. The ASU should be adopted either prospectively or on a modified retrospective basis. Management is currently evaluating the impact of adoption on the consolidated financial statements, but does not believe that adoption will have a material impact.

 

In August 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-15 Presentation of Financial Statements – Going Concern (Subtopic 205-40): Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern, to reduce diversity in the timing and content of going concern disclosures.  This ASU clarifies management’s responsibility to evaluate and provide related disclosures if there are any conditions or events, as a whole, that raise substantial doubt about the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern for one year after the date the financial statements are issued (or, if applicable, available to be issued). The amendments in this ASU are effective for the annual period ending after December 15, 2016, and for annual and interim periods thereafter. Early application is permitted. Management is currently evaluating the impact of adoption on the consolidated financial statements, but does not believe that adoption will have a material impact.

The Company’s investment portfolio includes securities that are in an unrealized loss position as of December 31, 2014 , the details of which are included in the following table.  Although these securities, if sold at December 31, 2014 would result in a pretax loss of $ 1,151 , the Company has no intent to sell the applicable securities at such fair values, and maintains the Company has the ability to hold these securities until all principal has been recovered.  Declines in the fair values of these securities can be traced to general market conditions which reflect the prospect for the economy as a whole.  When determining other-than-temporary impairment on securities, the Company considers such factors as adverse conditions specifically related to a certain security or to specific conditions in an industry or geographic area, the time frame securities have been in an unrealized loss position, the Company’s ability to hold the security for a period of time sufficient to allow for anticipated recovery in value, whether or not the security has been downgraded by a rating

Loans are considered to be impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that the Company will be unable to collect the scheduled payments of principal or interest when due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement.  Factors considered by management in evaluating impairment include payment status, collateral value, and the probability of collecting scheduled principal and interest payments when due.  Management determines the significance of payment delays and payment shortfalls on a case-by-case basis, taking into consideration all of the circumstances surrounding the loan and the borrower, including the length of the delay, the reasons for the delay, the borrower’s prior payment record, and the amount of the shortfall in relation to the principal and interest owed.  The Company also separately evaluates individual consumer and residential mortgage loans for impairment. The Chief Credit Officer identifies these loans individually by monitoring the delinquency status of the Bank’s portfolio. Once identified, the Bank’s ongoing communications with the borrower allow Management to evaluate the significance of the payment delays and the circumstances surrounding the loan and the borrower. A collateral evaluation is completed when it is determined that the loan is impaired. 

 

Once the determination has been made that a loan is impaired, the determination of whether a specific allocation of the allowance is necessary is measured by comparing the recorded investment in the loan to the fair value of the loan using one of three methods:  (a) the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate; (b) the loan’s observable market price; or (c) the fair value of the collateral less selling costs.  The method is selected on a loan-by-loan basis, with management primarily utilizing the fair value of collateral method.  The evaluation of the need and amount of a specific allocation of the allowance and whether a loan can be removed from impairment status is made on a quarterly basis.

Impaired loans have increased during 2014, but remain at a level that is manageable. The increase is primarily attributed to two loans that have experienced financial adversity as a result of the developments in the respective industries within which they operate, neither of which represents a concentration of any kind in the Bank’s commercial loan portfolio. One loan, with an outstanding balance of $3.6 million is dependent upon the condition of the coal industry, while the other loan, with a balance of $5.0 million, is a commercial real estate property in the Northern Virginia market, which had as primary tenants, government contractors that have vacated the premises as a result of losing significant contracts with the United States government. It is important to note that the commercial real estate loan was purchased from another financial institution in late 2013 . I t is the Bank’s position that the “Loan Sales Agreement” has been breached by the selling institution and legal recourse is being pursued by the Bank.

Bank m anagement uses a nine point internal risk rating system to monitor the credit quality of the overall loan portfolio.  The first six categories are considered not criticized, and are aggregated as “Pass” rated.  The criticized rating categories utilized by management generally follow bank regulatory definitions.  The Special Mention category includes assets that are currently protected but are potentially weak, resulting in an undue and unwarranted credit risk, but not to the point of justifying a Substandard classification.  Loans in the Substandard category have well-defined weaknesses that jeopardize the liquidation of the debt, and have a distinct possibility that some loss will be sustained if the weaknesses are not corrected. The portion of any loan that represents a specific allocation of the allowance for loan losses is placed in the Doubtful category.  Any portion of a loan that has been charged off is placed in the Loss category.

 

To help ensure that risk ratings are accurate and reflect the present and future capacity of borrowers to repay a loan as agreed, the Bank has a structured loan rating process with several layers of internal and external oversight.  Generally, consumer and residential mortgage loans are included in the Pass categories unless a specific action, such as bankruptcy, repossession, or death occurs to raise awareness of a possible credit event.  The Bank’s Chief Credit Officer is responsible for the timely and accurate risk rating of the loans in the portfolio at origination and on an ongoing basis.  The Credit Department performs an annual review of all commercial relationships $ 1,000 or greater.  Confirmation of the appropriate risk grade is included in the review on an ongoing basis.  The Bank has an experienced Credit Department that continually reviews and assesses loans within the portfolio. The Credit Department compiles detailed reviews, including plans for resolution, on loans classified as Substandard on a quarterly basis.  Loans in the Special Mention and Substandard categories that are collectively evaluated for impairment are given separate consideration in the determination of the allowance.

Management further monitors the performance and credit quality of the loan portfolio by analyzing the age of the portfolio as determined by the length of time a recorded payment is past due. 

 

A loan that has deteriorated and is in a collection process could warrant non-accrual status. A thorough review is to be presented to the Chief Credit Officer and or the Mortgage Loan Committee ("MLC"), as required with respect to any loan which is in a collection process and to make a determination as to whether the loan should be placed on non-accrual status. The placement of loans on non-accrual status will be subject to applicable regulatory restrictions and guidelines. Generally, loans should be placed in non-accrual status when the loan approaches 90 days past due, when it becomes likely the borrower cannot or will not make scheduled principal or interest payments, when full repayment of principal and interest is not expected, or when the loan displays potential loss characteristics. Normally, all accrued interest should be charged off when a loan is placed in non-accrual status. Any payments subsequently received should be applied to principal. To remove a loan from non-accrual status, all principal and interest due must be paid up to date and the bank is reasonably sure of future satisfactory payment performance. Usually, this requires a six-month recent history

An allowance for loan losses (“ALL”) is maintained to absorb losses from the loan portfolio.  The ALL is based on management’s continuing evaluation of the risk characteristics and credit quality of the loan portfolio, assessment of current economic conditions, diversification and size of the portfolio, adequacy of collateral, past and anticipated loss experience, and the amount of non-performing loans.

 

Interest income on loans would have increased by approximately $ 221 and $ 47 for 201 4 and 201 3 , respectively, if loans had performed in accordance with their terms.

 

The Bank’s methodology for determining the ALL is based on the requirements of ASC Section 310-10-35 for loans individually evaluated for impairment (discussed above) and ASC Subtopic 450-20 for loans collectively evaluated for impairment, as well as the Interagency Policy Statements on the Allowance for Loan and Lease Losses and other bank regulatory guidance.  The total of the two components represents the Bank’s ALL.

 

Loans that are collectively evaluated for impairment are analyzed with general allowances being made as appropriate.  For general allowances, historical loss trends are used in the estimation of losses in the current portfolio.  These historical loss amounts are modified by qualified factors.

The segments described above, which are based on the Federal call code assigned to each loan, provide the starting point for the ALL analysis.  Company and bank m anagement tracks the historical net charge-off activity at the call code level.  A historical charge-off factor is calculated utilizing a defined number of consecutive historical quarters.  All pools currently utilize a rolling 12 quarters.

 

“Pass” rated credits are segregated from “Criticized” credits for the application of qualitative factors.  Loans in the criticized pools, which possess certain qualities or characteristics that may lead to collection and loss issues, are closely monitored by management and subject to additional qualitative factors.

 

Company and Bank management have identified a number of additional qualitative factors which it uses to supplement the historical charge-off factor because these factors are likely to cause estimated credit losses associated with the existing loan pools to differ from historical loss experience.  The additional factors that are evaluated quarterly and updated using information obtained from internal, regulatory, and governmental sources are:  national and local economic trends and conditions; levels of and trends in delinquency rates and non-accrual loans; trends in volume and terms of loans; effects of changes in lending policies; experience, ability, and depth of lending staff; value of underlying collateral; and concentrations of credit from a loan type, industry and/or geographic standpoint. The combination of historical charge-off and qualitative factors are then weighted for each risk grade. These weightings are determined internally based upon the likelihood of loss as a loan risk grading deteriorates.

 

Bank m anagement reviews the loan portfolio on a quarterly basis using a defined, consistently applied process in order to make appropriate and timely adjustments to the ALL.  When information confirms all or part of specific loans to be uncollectible, these amounts are promptly charged off against the ALL.

 

The following table summarizes the primary segments of the ALL, segregated into the amount required for loans individually evaluated for impairment and the amount required for loans collectively evaluated for impairment as of December 31, 2014 and 2013 .  Activity in the allowance is presented for the periods indicated (in thousands):

During December 201 3   the Bank purchased $74.3 million in performing commercial real estate secured loans in the northern Virginia area. At the time of acquisition, none of these loans were considered impaired. They were acquired at a premium of roughly 1.024 or $1.8 million , which is being amortized in accordance with ASC 310-20. These loans are collectively evaluated for impairment under ASC 450. Loans are monitored individually for payoff activity, and any necessary adjustments to the premium will be made accordingly. At December 31, 2014, these balances totaled $51.3 million. Of the $23 million decrease, MVB refinanced $15.7 million and sold a participation totaling $2.9 million. The weighted average yield on the remaining portfolio is 5.66%

 

The allowance for loan losses is based on estimates, and actual losses will vary from current estimates.  Management believes that the granularity of the homogeneous pools and the related historical loss ratios and other qualitative factors, as well as the consistency in the application of assumptions, result in an ALL that is representative of the risk found in the components of the portfolio at any given date.

 

Troubled Debt Restructurings

 

The restructuring of a loan is con sidered a troubled debt restructuring (“TDR”) if both (i) the borrower is experiencing financial difficulties and (ii) the creditor has granted a concession.  Concessions may include interest rate reductions or below market interest rates, principal forgiveness, restructuring amortization schedules and other actions intended to minimize potential losses .   No TDR’s have defaulted for the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively .

 

At December 31, 2014 and 2013 , the Bank had specific reserve allocations for TDR’s of $ 582 and $ 1.4   million, respectively.

NOTE 6. BORROWED FUNDS

 

The Bank is a member of the Federal Home Loan Bank (“FHLB”) of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.  The remaining maximum borrowing capacity with the FHLB at December 31, 2014 was approximately $257,982 .  At December 31, 2014 and 2013 the Bank had borrowed $101,287 and $104,647. 

 

Short-term borrowings and Repurchase Agreements

 

Along with traditional deposits, the Bank has access to both overnight repurchase agreements and short-term borrowings from FHLB to fund its operations and investments. Repurchase agreements totaled $ 32.7 million at December 31, 2014 , compared to $ 81.6 million in 201 3 .   The decline in repurchase agreements simply relates to strategically moving customer accounts from repurchase agreements to public funds demand deposits accounts .   Short-term borrowings from

Subordinated Debt

 

In March 2007 the Company completed the private placement of $4 million Floating Rate, Trust Preferred Securities through its MVB Financial Statutory Trust I subsidiary (the “Trust”).  The Company established the Trust for the sole purpose of issuing the Trust Preferred Securities pursuant to an Amended and Restated Declaration of Trust.  The

59


 

Table of Contents

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

MVB FINANCIAL CORP. AND SUBSIDIARIES

December 31, 2014

 

proceeds from the sale of the Trust Preferred Securities will be loaned to the Company under subordinated Debentures (the “Debentures”) issued to the Trust pursuant to an Indenture.  The Debentures are the only asset of the Trust.  The Trust Preferred Securities have been issued to a pooling vehicle that will use the distributions on the Trust Preferred Securities to securitize note obligations.  The securities issued by the Trust are includable for regulatory purposes as a component of the Company’s Tier I capital.

 

The Trust Preferred Securities and the Debentures mature in 2037 and have been redeemable by the Company since 2012.  Interest payments are due in March, June, September and December and are adjusted at the interest due dates at a rate of 1.62% over the three month LIBOR Rate . The obligations of the Company with respect to the issuance of the trust preferred securities constitute a full and unconditional guarantee by the Company of the Trust's obligations with respect to the trust preferred securities to the extent set forth in the related guarantees.

 

On June 30, 2014, MVB Financial Corp. (the “Company”) issued its Convertible Subordinated Promissory Notes Due 2024 (the “Notes”) to various investors in the aggregate principal amount of $29,400,000 .  The Notes were issued in $100,000 increments per Note subject to a minimum investment of $1,000,000 .  The Notes expire 10 years after the initial issuance date of the Notes (the “Maturity Date”). 

 

Interest on the Notes accrues on the unpaid principal amount of each Note (paid quarterly in arrears on January 1, April 1, July 1 and October 1 of each year) which rate shall be dependent upon the principal invested in the Notes and the holder’s ownership of common stock in the Company.  For investments of less than $3,000,000 in Notes, an ownership of Company common stock representing at least 30% of the principal of the Notes acquired, the interest rate on the Notes is 7% per annum.  For investments of $3,000,000 or greater in Notes and ownership of the Company’s common stock representing at least 30% of the principal of the Notes acquired, the interest rate on the Notes is 7.5% per annum.  For investments of $10,000,000 or greater, the interest rate on the Notes is 7% per annum, regardless of whether the holder owns or acquires MVB common stock.  The principal on the Notes shall be paid in full at the Maturity Date.  On the fifth anniversary of the issuance of the Notes, a holder may elect to continue to receive the stated fixed rate on the Notes or a floating rate determined by LIBOR plus 5% up to a maximum rate of 9% , adjusted quarterly.

 

The Notes are unsecured and subject to the terms and conditions of any senior debt and after consultation with the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, the Company may, after the Notes have been outstanding for five years, and without premium or penalty, prepay all or a portion of the unpaid principal amount of any Note together with the unpaid interest accrued on such portion of the principal amount of such Note.  All such prepayments shall be made pro rata among the holders of all outstanding Notes. 

 

At the election of a holder, any or all of the Notes may be converted into shares of common stock during the 30 -day period after the first, second, third, fourth, and fifth anniversaries of the issuance of the Notes or upon a notice to prepay by the Company.  The Notes will convert into common stock based on $32 per share of the Company’s common stock.  The conversion price will be subject to anti-dilution adjustments for certain events such as stock splits, reclassifications, non-cash distributions, extraordinary cash dividends, pro rata repurchases of common stock, and business combination transactions.  The Company must give 20 days’ notice to the holders of the Company’s intent to prepay the Notes, so that holders may execute the conversion right set forth above if a holder so desires. 

 

Repayment of the Notes is subordinated to the Company’s outstanding senior debt including (if any) without limitation, senior secured loans.  No payment will be made by the Company, directly or indirectly, on the Notes, unless and until all of the senior debt then due has been paid in full.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, so long as there exists no event of default under any senior debt, the Company would make, and a holder would receive and retain for the holder’s account, regularly scheduled payments of accrued interest and principal pursuant to the terms of the Notes.

 

The Company must obtain a consent of the holders of the Notes prior to issuing any new senior debt in excess of $15,000,000 after the date of issuance of the Notes and prior to the Maturity Date.

An event of default will occur upon the Company’s bankruptcy or any failure to pay interest, principal, or other amounts owing on the Notes when due.   Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an event of default (but subject to the subordination provisions of the Notes) the holders of a majority of the outstanding principal amount of the Notes may declare all or any portion of the outstanding principal amount of the Notes due and payable and demand immediate payment of such amount.

 

The Notes are redeemable, in whole or in part, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed on any interest payment date after a date five years from the original issue date.

 

The Company reflects subordinated debt in the amount of $33. 5 million and $4.1 million as of December 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013 and interest expense of $ 1.1 million and $79 for the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013.

NOTE 7.  COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENT LIABILITIES

 

Commitments

 

The Company is a party to financial instruments with off-balance-sheet risk in the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of its customers.  These financial instruments include commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit.  These instruments involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit and interest rate risk in excess of the amounts recognized in the statements of financial condition.

 

The Company’s exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the other party to the financial instruments for commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit is represented by the contractual amount of those instruments.  The Company uses the same credit policies in making commitments and conditional obligations as it does for on-balance-sheet instruments.

 

Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to a customer as long as there is no violation of any condition established in the contract.  Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses and may require payment of a fee.  Since many of the commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements.  The Company evaluates each customer’s credit worthiness on a case-by-case basis.  The amount and type of collateral obtained, if deemed necessary by the Company upon extension of credit, varies and is based on management’s credit evaluation of the customer.

 

Standby letters of credit are conditional commitments issued by the Company to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party.  Standby letters of credit generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses and may require payment of a fee.  The credit risk involved in issuing letters of credit is essentially the same as that involved

61

in extending loans to customers.  The Company’s policy for obtaining collateral, and the nature of such collateral, is essentially the same as that involved in making commitments to extend credit.

Concentration of Credit Risk

 

The Company grants a majority of its commercial, financial, agricultural, real estate and installment loans to customers throughout the Marion, Harrison, Monongalia, Kanawha, Jefferson and Berkeley County areas of West Virginia as well as the Northern Virginia area and adjacent counties.  Collateral for loans is primarily residential and commercial real estate, personal property, and business equipment.  The Company evaluates the credit worthiness of each of its customers on a case-by-case basis, and the amount of collateral it obtains is based upon management’s credit evaluation.

 

Regulatory

 

Beginning in 201 3 , the Company is required to maintain certain reserve balances on hand in accordance with the Federal Reserve Board requirements. The average balance maintained in accordance with such requiremen ts was $16,768 and $7,986 on December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively .

 

Contingent Liability

 

The subsidiary bank is involved in various legal actions arising in the ordinary course of business.  In the opinion of management and counsel, the outcome of these matters will not have a significant adverse effect on the consolidated financial statements.

 

NOTE 8.  INCOME TAXES

 

The amount reflected as income taxes represents federal and state income taxes on financial statement income.  Certain items of income and expense, primarily the provision for possible loan losses, allowance for losses on foreclosed assets held for resale, depreciation, and accretion of discounts on investment securities are reported in different accounting periods for income tax purposes.

December 31, 2014

 

The Company prescribes a recognition threshold and a measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. Benefits from tax positions should be recognized in the financial statements only when it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained upon examination by the appropriate taxing authority that would have full knowledge of all relevant information. A tax position that meets the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold is measured at the largest amount of benefit that is greater than 50 percent likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement. Tax positions that previously failed to meet the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold should be recognized in the first subsequent financial reporting period in which that threshold is met. Previously recognized tax positions that no longer meet the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold should be derecognized in the first subsequent financial reporting period in which that threshold is no longer met. There is currently no liability for uncertain tax positions and no known unrecognized tax benefits. With limited exception, the Company’s federal and state income tax returns for taxable years through 2009 have been closed for purposes of examination by the federal and state taxing jurisdictions.

 

NOTE 9.  RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

 

The Company has granted loans to officers and directors of the Company and to their associates.  Related party loans are made on substantially the same terms, including interest rates and collateral, as those prevailing at the time for comparable transactions with unrelated parties and do not involve more than normal risk of collectability.  Set forth below is a summary of the related loan activity.

NOTE 10.  PENSION PLAN

 

The Company participates in a trusteed pension plan known as the Allegheny Group Retirement Plan covering virtually all full-time employees.  Benefits are based on years of service and the employee's compensation.  Accruals under the Plan were frozen as of May 31, 2014. Freezing the plan resulted in a re-measurement of the pension obligations and plan assets as of the freeze date. The pension obligation was re-measured using the discount rate based on the Citigroup Above Median Pension Discount Curve in effect on May 31, 2014 of 4.46% .  

 

The plan freeze lowered the pension cost in 2014 by $347 versus 2013.

Investment in government securities and short-term investments are valued at the closing price reported on the active market on which the individual securities are traded. Alternative investments and investment in debt securities are valued at quoted prices which are available but traded less frequently, and items that are fair valued using other financial instruments, the parameters of which can be directly observed. The methods described above may produce a fair value calculation that may not be indicative of net realizable value or reflective of future fair values.  Furthermore, while the Plan believes its valuation methods are appropriate and consistent with other market participants, the use of different methodologies or assumptions to determine the fair value of certain financial instruments could result in a different fair value measurement at the reporting date.

 

Below we show the best estimate of the plan contribution for next fiscal year.  We also show the benefits expected to be paid in each of the next five fiscal years, and in the aggregate for the five fiscal years thereafter.

NOTE 14.  REGULATORY CAPITAL REQUIREMENTS

 

The Company and the Bank are subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by the federal banking agencies.  Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can initiate certain mandatory, and possibly additional discretionary, actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct material effect on the Company’s financial statements.  Under capital adequacy guidelines the Company must meet specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of the Company’s assets, liabilities, and certain off-balance sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting practices.  The Company’s capital amounts and classifications are also subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators about components, risk weightings, and other factors.

 

Quantitative measures established by regulation to ensure capital adequacy require the Company to maintain minimum amounts and ratios of Total and Tier I capital to risk-weighted assets, and of Tier I capital to average assets, as defined.  As of December 31, 2014 and 2013 , the Company meets all capital adequacy requirements to which it is subject.

 

The most recent notification from the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation categorized the Bank as well capitalized under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action. To be categorized as well capitalized, the Bank must maintain minimum total risk-based, Tier I risk-based, and Tier I leverage ratios as set forth in the table below.   Both the Company’s and the Bank’s actual capital amounts and ratios are presented in the table below.

NOTE 17.  FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

 

The following summarizes the methods and significant assumptions used by the Company in estimating its fair value disclosures for financial instruments.

 

Level I:  Quoted prices are available in active markets for identical assets or liabilities as of the reported date.

 

Level II:  Pricing inputs are other than quoted prices in active markets, which are either directly or indirectly observable as of the reported date.  The nature of these assets and liabilities include items for which quoted prices are available but traded less frequently, and items that are fair valued using other financial instruments, the parameters of which can be directly observed.

 

Level III:  Assets and liabilities that have little to no pricing observability as of the reported date.  These items do not have two-way markets and are measured using management’s best estimate of fair value, where the inputs into the determination of fair value require significant management judgment or estimation.

 

Estimated fair values have been determined by the Company using historical data, as generally provided in the Company’s regulatory reports, and an estimation methodology suitable for each category of financial instruments. The Company’s fair value estimates, methods and assumptions are set forth below for the Company’s other financial instruments .

 

Cash and cash equivalents: The carrying amounts for cash and cash equivalents approximate fair value because they have original maturities of 90 days or less and do not present unanticipated credit concerns.

Certificates of deposits: The fair values for loans are computed based on scheduled future cash flows of principal and interest, discounted at interest rates currently offered for loans with similar terms of borrowers of similar credit quality.  No prepayments of principal are assumed.

 

Securities:  F air values of securities are based on quoted market prices, where available.  If quoted market prices are not available, estimated fair values are based on quoted market prices of comparable securities.

 

Loans held for sale: Loans held for sale are reported at fair value. These loans currently consist of one-to-four-family residential loans originated for sale in the secondary market. Fair value is based on committed market rates or the price secondary markets are currently offering for similar loans using observable market data. (Level II)

 

Loans:  The fair values for loans are computed based on scheduled future cash flows of principal and interest, discounted at interest rates currently offered for loans with similar terms of borrowers of similar credit quality.  No prepayments of principal are assumed.

 

Mortgage servicing rights: The carrying value of mortgage servicing rights approximates their fair value.  

 

Interest rate lock commitment :   For mortgage interest rate locks, the fair value is based on either (i) the price of the underlying loans obtained from an investor for loans that will be delivered on a best efforts basis or (ii) the observable price for individual loans traded in the secondary market for loans that will be delivered on a mandatory basis or (iii) less expected costs to deliver the interest rate locks, any expected “pull through rate” is applied to this calculation to estimate the derivative value. 

 

Interest rate cap: The fair value of the interest rate cap is determined at the end of each quarter by determining through Bloomberg Finance the current price of the same cap for each quarter end.

 

Accrued interest receivable and payable and repurchase agreements:  The carrying values of accrued interest receivable and payable approximate their fair values.

 

Deposits:  The fair values of demand deposits (i.e., non-interest bearing checking, NOW and money market), savings accounts and other variable rate deposits approximate their carrying values.  Fair values of fixed maturity deposits are estimated using a discounted cash flow methodology at rates currently offered for deposits with similar remaining maturities.  Any intangible value of long-term relationships with depositors is not considered in estimating the fair values disclosed.

 

Forward Sales Commitments: Forward sales commitments are used to mitigate interest rate risk for residential mortgage loans held for sale and interest rate locks and manage expected funding percentages. These instruments are considered derivatives and are recorded at fair value, based on (i) committed sales prices from investors for commitments to sell mortgage loans or (ii) observable market data inputs for commitments to sell mortgage backed securities.

 

FHLB and other borrowings: The fair values for loans are computed based on scheduled future cash flows of principal and interest, discounted at interest rates currently offered for loans with similar terms of borrowers of similar credit quality.  No prepayments of principal are assumed.

 

Subordinated debt: The fair values for loans are computed based on scheduled future cash flows of principal and interest, discounted at interest rates currently offered for loans with similar terms of borrowers of similar credit quality.  No prepayments of principal are assumed.

Off-balance sheet instruments:  The fair values of commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit are estimated using the fees currently charged to enter into similar agreements, taking into account the remaining terms of agreements and the present credit standing of the counterparties.  The amounts of fees currently charged on commitments and standby letters of credit are deemed insignificant, and therefore, the estimated fair values and carrying values are not shown.

Fair value estimates are made at a specific point in time, based on relevant market information about the financial instrument.  These estimates do not reflect any premium or discount that could result from offering for sale at one time the Company’s entire holdings of a particular financial instrument.  Because no market exists for a significant portion of the Company’s   financial instruments, fair value estimates are based on judgments regarding future expected loss experience, current economic conditions, risk characteristics of various financial instruments and other factors.  These estimates are subjective in nature and involve uncertainties and matters of significant judgment and therefore, cannot be determined with precision.  Changes in assumptions could significantly affect the estimates.  Fair value estimates are based on existing on-and-off balance sheet financial instruments without attempting to estimate the value of anticipated future business and the value of assets and liabilities that are not considered financial instruments.

 

NOTE 18.  FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

 

Accounting standards require that the Company adopt fair value measurement for financial assets and financial liabilities.  This enhanced guidance for using fair value to measure assets and liabilities applies whenever other standards require or permit assets or liabilities to be measured at fair value.  This guidance does not expand the use of fair value in any new circumstances. 

 

Accounting standards establish a hierarchal disclosure framework associated with the level of pricing observability utilized in measuring assets and liabilities at fair value.  The three broad levels defined by these standards are as follows:

 

Level I:     Quoted prices are available in active markets for identical assets or liabilities as of the reported date.

 

Level II:     Pricing inputs are other than quoted prices in active markets, which are either directly or indirectly observable as of the reported date.  The nature of these assets and liabilities include items for which quoted prices are available but traded less frequently, and items that are fair valued using other financial instruments, the parameters of which can be directly observed.

 

Level III:     Assets and liabilities that have little to no pricing observability as of the reported date.  These items do not have two-way markets and are measured using management’s best estimate of fair value, where the inputs into the determination of fair value require significant management judgment or estimation.

Assets Measured on a Recurring Basis

 

As required by accounting standards, financial assets and liabilities are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.  The Company classified investments in government securities as Level 2 instruments and valued them using the market approach.  The following measurements are made on a recurri ng basis .

 

·

Available- for - sale investment securities -   Available-for-sale investment securities are recorded at fair value on a recurring basis. Fair value measurement is based upon quoted prices, if available. If quoted prices are not available, fair values are measured using independent pricing models or other model-based valuation techniques such as the present value of future cash flows, adjusted for the security's credit rating, prepayment assumptions and other factors such as credit loss assumptions. Level 1 securities include those traded on an active exchange, such as the New York Stock Exchange, U.S. Treasury securities that are traded by dealers or brokers in active over-the-counter markets and money market funds. Level 2 securities include mortgage-backed securities issued by government sponsored entities and private label entities, municipal bonds and corporate debt securities. There have been no changes in valuation techniques for the year ended December 31, 2014 . Valuation techniques are consistent with techniques used in prior periods.

 

·

Loans held for sale — Loans held for sale are carried at fair value. These loans currently consist of one-to-four-family residential loans originated for sale in the secondary market. Fair value is based on the committed market rates or the price secondary markets are currently offering for similar loans using observable market data.

 

·

Interest rate lock commitment - For mortgage interest rate locks, the fair value is based on either (i) the price of the underlying loans obtained from an investor for loans that will be delivered on a best efforts basis or (ii) the observable price for individual loans traded in the secondary market for loans that will be delivered on a mandatory basis or (iii) less expected costs to deliver the interest rate locks, any expected “pull through rate” is applied to this calculation to estimate the derivative value. 

 

·

Interest rate cap  - The fair value of the interest rate cap is determined at the end of each quarter by determining through Bloomberg Finance the current price of the same cap for each quarter end.

 

·

Forward sales commitments – Forward sales commitments are considered derivatives and are recorded at fair value, based on (i) committed sales prices from investors for commitments to sell mortgage loans or (ii) observable market data inputs for commitments to sell mortgage backed securities. For mortgage interest rate locks, the fair value is based on either (i) the price of the underlying loans obtained from an investor for loans that will be delivered on a best efforts basis or (ii) the observable price for individual loans traded in the secondary market for loans that will be delivered on a mandatory basis or (iii) less the cost to originate loans and applied pull through rate.

 

 

The following tables present the assets reported on the consolidated statements of financial condition at their fair value on a recurring basis as of December 31, 2014 and 2013 by level within the fair value hierarchy. Financial assets and

Assets Measured on a Non recurring Basis

 

The Company may be required, from time to time, to measure certain financial assets, financial liabilities, non-financial assets and non-financial liabilities at fair value on a nonrecurring basis in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. These include assets that are measured at the lower of cost or market value that were recognized at fair value below cost at the end of the period. Certain non-financial assets measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis include foreclosed assets (upon initial recognition or subsequent impairment), non-financial assets and non-financial liabilities measured at fair value in the second step of a goodwill impairment test, and intangible assets and other non-financial long-lived assets measured at fair value for impairment assessment. Non-financial assets measured at fair value on a non recurring basis during 201 4 and 201 3 include certain foreclosed assets which, upon initial recognition, were remeasured and reported at fair value through a charge-off to the allowance for possible loan losses and certain foreclosed assets which, subsequent to their initial recognition, were remeasured at fair value through a write-down included in other non-interest expense.

 

·

Impaired Loans - Loans for which it is probable that payment of interest and principal will not be made in accordance with the contractual terms of the loan agreement are considered impaired. Once a loan is identified as individually impaired, management measures impairment using one of several methods, including collateral value, liquidation value and discounted cash flows. Those impaired loans not requiring an allowance represent loans for which the fair value of the expected repayments or collateral exceed the recorded investments in such loans. Collateral values are estimated using Level 2 inputs based on observable market data or Level 3 inputs based on customized discounting criteria. For a majority of impaired real estate related loans, the Company obtains a current external

appraisal. Other valuation techniques are used as well, including internal valuations, comparable property analysis and contractual sales information.

 

·

Other Real Estate owned — Other real estate owned, which is obtained through the Bank’s foreclosure process is valued utilizing the appraised collateral value. Collateral values are estimated using Level 2 inputs based on observable market data or Level 3 inputs based on customized discounting criteria. At the time, the foreclosure is completed, the Company obtains a current external appraisal.

 

·

Mortgage Servicing Rights Mortgage servicing rights (“MSRs”) do not trade in an active, open market with readily observable prices. While sales of MSRs do occur, the precise terms and conditions typically are not readily available.

 

Assets measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis as of December 31, 2014 and 2013 are included in the table below (in thousands) :

We have audited the accompan ying consolidated balance sheet of MVB Financial Corp. and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2013 , and the related consolidated statements of income, comprehensive income, changes in stockholders’ equi ty, and cash flows for the year then ended.  These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of MVB Financial Corp.’s management.  Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financia l statements based on our audit .

 

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement.  MVB Financial Corp. is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of MVB Financial Corp.’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presenta tion. We believe that our audit provide s a reasonable basis for our opinion.

 

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of MVB Financial Corp. and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2013 , and the results of their operations an d their cash flows for the year then ended, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

ITEM 9 A.CONTROLS AND PROCEDURE S

 

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

The Company, under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s management, including the Company’s President and Chief Executive Officer, along with the Company’s Chief Financial Officer (the Principal Financial Officer), has evaluated the effectiveness as of December 31, 2014 , of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures, as such term is defined under Rule 13a-15(e) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”).  Based upon that evaluation, the Company’s President and Chief Executive Officer, along with the Company’s Principal Accounting Officer concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of December 31, 2014 .

 

There have been no material changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting d uring the fourth quarter of 2014 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

 

Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 

Management of the Company is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting.  The Company’s internal control over financial reporting is designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.

 

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements.  Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

 

A material weakness is a significant deficiency (as defined in Public Company Accounting Oversig ht Board Auditing Standard No. 5 ), or a combination of significant deficiencies, that results in there being more than a remote likelihood that a material misstatement of the annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis by management or employees in the normal course of performing their assigned functions.

 

Management assessed the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2014 .  Management’s assessment did not identify any material weaknesses in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

 

In making this assessment, management used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) in Internal Control-Integrated Framework in 1992.  Because there were no material weaknesses discovered, management believes that, as of December 31, 2014 , the Company’s internal control over financial reporting was effective.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

 

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders

MVB Financial Corp.

 

We have audited MVB Financial Corp. and Subsidiaries (the Company’s) internal control over   financial reporting as of December 31, 2014, based on criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework (1992) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. The Company’s management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over   financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over   financial reporting, included in the accompanying Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting.  Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company's internal control over   financial reporting based on our audit.

 

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States).  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects.  Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk.  Our audit also included performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances.  We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

 

A company's internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.    A company's internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company's assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

 

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements.  Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

 

In our opinion, MVB Financial Corp. and Subsidiaries maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2014, based on criteria established in   Internal Control—Integrated Framework (1992) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring   Organizations of the Treadway Commission.

 

We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the consolidated financial statements of MVB Financial Corp. and Subsidiaries as of and for the year ended December 31, 2014, and our report dated March 16, 2015, expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements.

PART II I

 

ITEM 1 0.DIRECTORS, EXECUTIVE OFFICER S AND CORPORATE GOVERNANCE

 

Directors and Executive Officers of MVB include those persons identified under “Management Nominees t o the Board of MVB” on page 2 of MVB’s definitive Proxy Statement relating to MVB’s Annual Meeting of Shareholders for 2015 .

 

ITEM 1 1.EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

 

See “Execut ive Compensation” on pages 10-11 of MVB’s definitive Proxy Statement relating to MVB’s Annual Meeting of Stockholders for 2015 .

 

MVB has adopted a code of ethics that applies to our Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer and other executive officers and shall be deemed incorporated by reference.

 

ITEM 1 2. SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF CERTAIN BENEFICIA L OWNERS AND MANAGEMENT AND RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS

 

See “Principal Holders of Voting Securities” on page 13 of MVB’s definitive Proxy Statement relating to MVB’s Annual Meeting of Shareholders for 2015 which section is expressly incorporated by reference.

 

ITEM 1 3.CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS, AND DIRECTOR INDEPENDENCE

 

MVB and the Bank have, and expect to continue to have, banking and other transactions in the ordinary course of business with its directors and officers and their affiliates, including members of their families or corporations, partnerships or other organizations in which officers or directors have a controlling interest, on substantially the same terms (including documentation, price, interest rates and collateral, repayment and amortization schedules and default provisions) as those prevailing at the time for comparable transactions with unrelated parties.  All of these transactions were made on substantially the same terms (including interest rates, collateral and repayment terms on loans) as comparable transactions with non-affiliated persons.  MVB’s management believes that these transactions did not involve more than the normal business risk of collection or include any unfavorable features.

 

Total loans outstanding from the Bank at December 31, 2014 to MVB and Bank officers and directors as a group and members of their immediate families and companies in which they had an ownership interest of 10% or more was $18.1 million or 19.2% of total equity capital and 2.9% of total loans.  These loans do not involve more than the normal risk of collectability or present other unfavorable features.

ARTICLE VI

 

The existence of this corporation is to be perpetual.

 

ARTICLE VII

 

Provisions for the regulation of the internal affairs of the corporation are:

 

A. Indemnification.  Each person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to or is involved (including, without limitation, as a witness or deponent) in any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative, investigative or otherwise in nature (“Proceeding”), by reason of the fact that he or she, or a person of whom he or she is the legal representative, is or was a director or officer of the corporation or is or was serving at the written request of the corporation’s Board of Directors, president or their delegate as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, including service with respect to employee benefit plans, whether the basis of such Proceeding is alleged action or omission in an official capacity as a director, officer, trustee, employee or agent or in any other capacity, shall be indemnified and held harmless by the corporation to the fullest extent authorized by law, including but not limited to the West Virginia Code, as the same exists or may hereafter be amended (but, in the case of any such amendment, only to the extent that such amendment permits the corporation to provide broader indemnification rights than said Code permitted the corporation to provide prior to such amendment), against all expenses, liability and loss (including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees and disbursements, judgments, fines, ERISA or other similar or dissimilar excise taxes or penalties and amounts paid or to be paid in settlement) incurred or suffered by such person in connection therewith; provided, however, that the corporation shall indemnify any such person seeking indemnity in connection with a Proceeding (or part thereof) initiated by such person only if such Proceeding (or part thereof) was authorized by the Board of Directors of the corporation; provided, further, that the corporation shall not indemnify any person for civil money penalties or other matters, to the extent such indemnification is specifically not permissible pursuant to federal or state statute or regulation, or order or rule of a regulatory agency of the federal or state government with authority to enter, make or promulgate such order or rule.  Such right shall include the right to be paid by the corporation expenses, including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees and disbursements, incurred in defending or participating in any such Proceeding in advance of its final disposition; provided, however, that the payment of such expenses in advance of the final disposition of such Proceeding shall be made only upon delivery to the corporation of an undertaking, by or on behalf of such director or officer, in which such director or officer agrees to repay all amounts so advanced if it should be ultimately   determined that such person is not entitled to be indemnified under this Article or otherwise.  The termination of any Proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, conviction, or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent, shall not, of itself, create a presumption that the person did not act in good faith and in a manner which he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interest of the corporation, or that such person did have reasonable cause to believe that his conduct was unlawful.

 

B. Right of Claimant to Bring Suit .  If a claim under this Article is not paid in full by the corporation within thirty days after a written claim therefor has been received by the corporation, the claimant may at any time thereafter bring suit against the corporation to recover the unpaid amount of the claim and, if successful, in whole or in part, the claimant shall be entitled to be paid also the expense of prosecuting such claim.  It shall be a defense to any such action (other than an action brought to enforce a claim for expenses incurred in defending or participating in any Proceeding in advance of its final disposition where the required undertaking has been tendered to the corporation) that the claimant has not met the standards of conduct which make it permissible under the applicable law for the corporation to indemnify the claimant for the amount claimed, but the burden of proving such defense shall be on the corporation.

2


 

 

 

Neither the failure of the corporation (including its Board of Directors, independent legal counsel, or its shareholders) to have made a determination prior to the commencement of such action that indemnification or reimbursement of the claimant is permitted in the circumstances because he or she has met the applicable standard of conduct, nor an actual determination by the corporation (including its Board of Directors, independent legal counsel, or its shareholders) that the claimant has not met such applicable standard of conduct, shall be a defense to the action or create a presumption that the claimant has not met the applicable standard of conduct.

 

C. Contractual Rights: Applicability .  The right to be indemnified or to the reimbursement or advancement of expenses pursuant hereto (i) is a contract right based upon good and valuable consideration, pursuant to which the person entitled thereto may bring suit as if the provisions hereof were set forth in a separate written contract between the corporation and the director or officer, (ii) is intended to be retroactive and shall be available with respect to events occurring prior to the adoption hereof, and (iii) shall continue to exist after the rescission or restrictive modification hereof with respect to events occurring prior thereto.

 

D. Requested Service .  Any director or officer of the corporation serving, in any capacity, (i) another corporation of which five percent (5%) or more of the shares entitled to vote in the election of its directors is held by the corporation, or (ii) any employee benefit plan of the corporation or of any corporation referred to herein shall be deemed to be doing so at the request of the corporation.

 

E. Non-Exclusivity of Rights .  The rights conferred on any person hereunder shall not be exclusive of and shall be in addition to any other right which such person may have or may hereafter acquire under any statute, provision of the Certificate of Incorporation, Bylaws, agreement, vote of shareholders or disinterested directors or otherwise.

 

F. Insurance .  The corporation may purchase and maintain insurance, at its expense, to protect itself and any director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation or another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise against such expense, liability or loss, whether or not the corporation would have the power to indemnify such person against such expense, liability or loss under West Virginia law.

 

G. Limitation of Liability .  A director of the corporation shall not be personally liable to the corporation or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director except to the extent that such exception from liability or limitation thereof is not permitted by the West Virginia Business Corporation Act or the laws of the United States or the State of West Virginia, as the same may exist or are hereafter amended.  Any repeal or modification of the foregoing provision by the stockholders of the corporation shall not adversely affect any right of protection of a director of the corporation existing at the time of such repeal or modification.

The Board of Directors shall have the power and authority at any time and from time to time to issue, sell or otherwise dispose of any unissued but authorized shares of any class or classes of stock presently provided for in the Articles of Incorporation, or that may hereafter be provided for by a subsequent amendment to the Articles of Incorporation, to such persons or parties, including the holders of Common Stock or Preferred Stock or of any such other class of stock, for such considerations (not less than the par value, if any, thereof) and   upon such terms and conditions as the Board of Directors in its discretion may deem to be in the best interests of the corporation.  Except as expressly provided to the contrary

 

PICTURE 38

 

13


 

 

hereinafter, such issuance, sale or other disposition may be made without offering such shares, or any part of any class thereof, to the holders of Common Stock or Preferred Stock or any such other class of stock, and no such holder shall have any preemptive right to subscribe for any shares of the Common Stock and shall only have such preemptive rights with respect to the Preferred Stock to the extent the Board of Directors, in its discretion, determines.

 

Each holder of Common Stock of the corporation entitled to vote shall have one vote for each share thereof held.

 

The voting powers, designations, preferences, limitations, restrictions and relative rights of the Preferred Stock are as follows:

 

A. Issuance in Series .  Preferred Stock may be issued from time to time in one or more series.  All shares of Preferred Stock shall be of equal rank and shall be identical, except in respect of the particulars that are fixed in the Articles of Incorporation or may be fixed by the Board of Directors as hereinafter provided pursuant to authority which is hereby expressly vested in the Board of Directors; and each share of Preferred Stock, whether of the same or a different series, shall be identical in all respects with the other shares of Preferred Stock, except as to the following relative rights and preferences, as to which there may be variations between different series:

 

(i) the rate of dividends;

 

(ii) whether shares may be redeemed and, if so, the redemption price and the terms and conditions of redemption;

 

(iii) whether shares may be converted to Common Stock and if so, the terms and conditions of conversion;

 

(iv) the amount payable upon shares in event of voluntary and involuntary liquidation;

 

(v) sinking fund provisions, if any, for the redemption or purchase of shares;

 

(vi) the terms and conditions, if any, on which shares may be converted; and

 

(vii) voting rights, if any.

 

The Board of Directors of the corporation shall have all of the power and authority with respect to the shares of Preferred Stock that the shareholders may delegate to the Board of Directors pursuant to the terms and provisions of Chapter 31D, Article   6, Sections 601 and 602 of the Code of West Virginia, as amended, and shall exercise such power and authority by the adoption of a resolution or resolutions as prescribed by law.

 

B. Dividends .  The holders of the Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive, when and as declared by the Board of Directors, out of any funds legally available therefor, preferential dividends in cash, in the amounts or at the rate per annum fixed for such series, and no more.  Dividends on shares of the Preferred Stock shall accrue from the date of the initial issue of shares of such series, or from such other date as may be fixed by the Board of Directors and shall be payable as determined by the Board of Directors.  Each share of Preferred Stock shall rank on a parity with each other share of Preferred Stock, irrespective of series, with respect to preferential dividends at the respective amounts or rates fixed for such series, and no dividend shall be declared or paid or set apart for payment for the Preferred Stock of any series unless at the same time a dividend in like proportion to the accrued and unpaid dividends upon the Preferred Stock of each other series shall be declared or

14


 

 

paid or set apart for payment, as the case may be, on Preferred Stock of each other series then outstanding.

 

C. Dividend Restriction on Junior Stock .  So long as any shares of Preferred Stock are outstanding, the corporation shall not pay or declare any cash dividends whatsoever on the Common Stock or any other class of stock ranking junior to the Preferred Stock unless (i)   all dividends on the Preferred Stock of all series for all past dividend periods shall have been paid, or declared and a sum sufficient for the payment thereof set apart, and (ii)   there shall exist no default in respect of any sinking fund or purchase fund for the redemption or purchase of shares of Preferred Stock of any   series or such default shall have been waived by the holders of at least a majority of the then issued and outstanding shares of Preferred Stock of such series by a vote at a meeting called for such purpose or by written waiver with or without a meeting.

 

D. Liquidation or Dissolution .  In the event of any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the affairs of the corporation, then, before any distribution or payment shall be made to the holders of the Common Stock or any other class of stock of the corporation ranking junior to the Preferred Stock in respect of dividends or distribution of assets upon liquidation, the holders of the Preferred Stock shall be entitled to be paid in full, in the event of a voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up, the respective amounts fixed for such series, plus in each case a sum equal to accrued and unpaid dividends thereon to the date of payment thereof.  After such payment shall have been made in full to the holders of the Preferred Stock, the remaining assets and funds of the corporation shall be distributed among the holders of the stock of the corporation ranking junior to the Preferred Stock in respect of dividends or distribution of assets upon liquidation according to their respective rights and preferences and in each case according to their respective shares.  In the event that the assets of the corporation available for distribution to holders of Preferred Stock shall not be sufficient to make the payment herein required to be made in full, such assets shall be distributed to the holders of the respective shares of Preferred Stock pro rata in proportion to the amounts payable upon such share thereof.

 

E. Status of Shares Redeemed or Retired .  Preferred Stock redeemed or otherwise retired by the corporation shall, upon the filing of such statement as may be required by law, assume the status of authorized but unissued Preferred Stock and may thereafter be reissued in the same manner as other authorized but unissued Preferred Stock.

 

F. Amendments .  Subject to such requirements as may be prescribed by law or as may be expressly set forth in the foregoing provisions of this Article   V or in any amendment to these Articles establishing and designating a series of shares of Preferred Stock, any of the foregoing terms and provisions of this Article   V may be altered, amended or repealed or the application thereof suspended or waived in any particular case and changes in   any of the designations, preferences, limitations and relative rights of the Preferred Stock may be made with the affirmative vote, at a meeting called for that purpose, or the written consent with or without a meeting, of the holders of at least a majority of the then issued and outstanding shares of Preferred Stock.

 

THIRD: The number of shares of the corporation outstanding at the time of such adoption was 708,025 shares of common stock, par value $1.00 per share.  The number of shares entitled to vote thereon was 708,025.

(e) Effectiveness of Redemption .  If notice of redemption has been duly given and if on or before the redemption date specified in the notice all funds necessary for the redemption have been deposited by the Issuer, in trust for the pro rata benefit of the holders of the shares called for redemption, with a bank or trust company doing business in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, and having a capital and surplus of at least $500 million and selected by the Board of Directors, so as to be and continue to be available solely therefor, then, notwithstanding that any certificate for any share so called for redemption has not been surrendered for cancellation, on and after the redemption date dividends shall cease to accrue on all shares so called for redemption, all shares so called for redemption shall no longer be deemed outstanding and all rights with respect to such shares shall forthwith on such redemption date cease and terminate, except only the right of the holders thereof to receive the amount payable on such redemption from such bank or trust company, without interest.  Any funds unclaimed at the end of three years from the redemption date shall, to the extent permitted by law, be released to the Issuer, after which time the holders of the shares so called for redemption shall look only to the Issuer for payment of the redemption price of such shares.

 

(f) Status of Redeemed Shares .  Shares of Designated Preferred Stock that are redeemed, repurchased or otherwise acquired by the Issuer shall revert to authorized but unissued shares of Preferred Stock ( provided that any such cancelled shares of Designated Preferred Stock may be reissued only as shares of any series of Preferred Stock other than Designated Preferred Stock).

 

Section 6.  Conversion .  Holders of Designated Preferred Stock shares shall have no right to exchange or convert such shares into any other securities.

 

Section 7.  Voting Rights .

 

(a) General .  The holders of Designated Preferred Stock shall not have any voting rights except as set forth below or as otherwise from time to time required by law.

A- 10


 

 

 

(b) Board Observation Rights .  Whenever, at any time or times, dividends on the shares of Designated Preferred Stock have not been declared and paid in full within five (5) Business Days after each Dividend Payment Date for an aggregate of five (5) Dividend Periods or more, whether or not consecutive, the Issuer shall invite a representative selected by the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of Designated Preferred Stock, voting as a single class, to attend all meetings of its Board of Directors in a nonvoting observer capacity and, in this respect, shall give such representative copies of all notices, minutes, consents, and other materials that it provides to its directors in connection with such meetings; provided , that the holders of the Designated Preferred Stock shall not be obligated to select such a representative, nor shall such representative, if selected, be obligated to attend any meeting to which he/she is invited.  The rights of the holders of the Designated Preferred Stock set forth in this Section 7(b) shall terminate when full dividends have been timely paid on the Designated Preferred Stock for at least four consecutive Dividend Periods, subject to revesting in the event of each and every subsequent default of the character above mentioned.

 

(c) Preferred Stock Directors .  Whenever, at any time or times, (i) dividends on the shares of Designated Preferred Stock have not been declared and paid in full within five (5) Business Days after each Dividend Payment Date for an aggregate of six (6) Dividend Periods or more, whether or not consecutive, and (ii) the aggregate liquidation preference of the then-outstanding shares of Designated Preferred Stock is greater than or equal to $25,000,000, the authorized number of directors of the Issuer shall automatically be increased by two and the holders of the Designated Preferred Stock, voting as a single class, shall have the right, but not the obligation, to elect two directors (hereinafter the “ Preferred Directors ” and each a “ Preferred Director ”) to fill such newly created directorships at the Issuer’s next annual meeting of stockholders (or, if the next annual meeting is not yet scheduled or is scheduled to occur more than thirty days later, the President of the Company shall promptly call a special meeting for that purpose) and at each subsequent annual meeting of stockholders until full dividends have been timely paid on the Designated Preferred Stock for at least four consecutive Dividend Periods, at which time such right shall terminate with respect to the Designated Preferred Stock, except as herein or by law expressly provided, subject to revesting in the event of each and every subsequent default of the character above mentioned; provided that it shall be a qualification for election for any Preferred Director that the election of such Preferred Director shall not cause the Issuer to violate any corporate governance requirements of any securities exchange or other trading facility on which securities of the Issuer may then be listed or traded that listed or traded companies must have a majority of independent directors.  Upon any termination of the right of the holders of shares of Designated Preferred Stock to vote for directors as provided above, the Preferred Directors shall cease to be qualified as directors, the term of office of all Preferred Directors then in office shall terminate immediately and the authorized number of directors shall be reduced by the number of Preferred Directors elected pursuant hereto.  Any Preferred Director may be removed at any time, with or without cause, and any vacancy created thereby may be filled, only by the affirmative vote of the holders a majority of the shares of Designated Preferred Stock at the time outstanding voting separately as a class.  If the office of any Preferred Director   becomes vacant for any reason other than removal from office as aforesaid, the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of Designated Preferred Stock, voting as a single class, may choose a successor who shall hold office for the unexpired term in respect of which such vacancy occurred.

A- 11

provided ,   however , that for all purposes of this Section 7(d), any increase in the amount of the authorized Preferred Stock, including any increase in the authorized amount of Designated Preferred Stock necessary to satisfy preemptive or similar rights granted by the Issuer to other persons prior to the Signing Date, or 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 Designated Preferred Stock with respect to the payment of dividends (whether such dividends are cumulative or non-cumulative) and the distribution of assets upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Issuer 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 Designated Preferred Stock.

 

(e) Changes after Provision for Redemption .  No vote or consent of the holders of Designated Preferred Stock shall be required pursuant to Section 7(d) above if, at or prior to the time when any such vote or consent would otherwise be required pursuant to such Section, all outstanding shares of the Designated Preferred Stock shall have been redeemed, or shall have been called for redemption upon proper notice and sufficient funds shall have been deposited in trust for such redemption, in each case pursuant to Section 5 above.

(b) No Sinking Fund .  The Series   B Preferred Stock will not be subject to any mandatory redemption, sinking fund or other similar provisions.  Holders of Series   B Preferred Stock will have no right to require redemption or repurchase of any shares of Series   B Preferred Stock.

 

(c) Notice of Redemption .  Notice of every redemption of shares of Series   B Preferred Stock shall be given by first class mail, postage prepaid, addressed to the holders of record of the shares to be redeemed at their respective last addresses appearing on the books of the Issuer.  Such mailing shall be at least 30 days and not more than 60 days before the date fixed for redemption.  Any notice mailed as provided in this subsection shall be conclusively presumed to have been duly given, whether or not the holder receives such notice, but failure duly to give such notice by mail, or any defect in such notice or in the mailing thereof, to any holder of shares of Series   B Preferred Stock designated for redemption shall not affect the validity of the proceedings for the redemption of any other shares of Series   B Preferred Stock.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, if shares of Series   B Preferred Stock are issued in book-entry form through The Depository Trust Company or any other similar facility, notice of redemption may be given to the holders of Series   B Preferred Stock at such time and in any manner permitted by such facility.  Each notice of redemption given to a holder shall state: (1)   the redemption date; (2)   the number of shares of Series   B Preferred Stock to be redeemed and, if less than all the shares held by such holder are to be redeemed, the number of such shares to be redeemed from such holder; (3)   the redemption price; and (4) the place or places where certificates for such shares are to be surrendered for payment of the redemption price.

 

(d) Partial Redemption .  In case of any redemption of part of the shares of Series   B Preferred Stock at the time outstanding, the shares to be redeemed shall be selected either pro rata or in such other manner as the Board of Directors or a duly authorized committee thereof may determine to be fair and equitable.  Subject to the provisions hereof, the Board of Directors or a duly authorized committee thereof shall have full power and authority to prescribe the terms and conditions upon which shares of Series   B Preferred Stock shall be redeemed from time to time.  If fewer than all the shares represented by any certificate are redeemed, a new certificate shall be issued representing the unredeemed shares without charge to the holder thereof.

 

(e) Effectiveness of Redemption .  If notice of redemption has been duly given and if on or before the redemption date specified in the notice all funds necessary for the redemption have been deposited by the Issuer, in trust for the pro rata benefit of the holders of the shares called for redemption,   with a bank or trust company selected by the Board of Directors, so as to be and continue to be available solely therefor, then, notwithstanding that any certificate for any share so called for redemption has not been surrendered for cancellation, on and after the redemption date dividends shall cease to accrue on all shares so called for redemption, all shares so called for redemption shall no longer be deemed outstanding and all rights with respect to such shares shall forthwith on such redemption date cease and terminate, except only the right of the holders thereof to receive the amount payable on such redemption from such bank or trust company, without interest.  Any funds unclaimed at the end of three years from the redemption date shall, to the extent permitted by law, be released to the Issuer, after which time the holders of the shares so called for redemption shall look only to the Issuer for payment of the redemption price of such shares.

 

(f) Status of Redeemed Shares .  Shares of Series   B Preferred Stock that are redeemed, repurchased or otherwise acquired by the Issuer shall revert to authorized but unissued shares of Preferred Stock ( provided that any such cancelled shares of Series   B Preferred Stock may be reissued only as shares of any series of Preferred Stock other than Series   B Preferred Stock).

 

Section   6. Conversion .

 

(a) Conversion by Holder .  During the Conversion Periods, the holders of Series   B Preferred Stock shares shall have the right (the “ Holder Conversion Right ”), at their option and subject to any required approvals under the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956, as amended, or the Change in Bank Control Act of 1978, as amended, to convert such shares of Series   B Preferred Stock (except that upon any liquidation, the Holder Conversion Right shall terminate upon consummation of such liquidation) into shares of Common Stock as provided under Section   6(b).

 

A- 4


 

 

(b) Number of Shares Issuable Upon Conversion .  Upon a notice of conversion by the holders of shares of Series   B Preferred Stock pursuant to Section   6(c), each share of Series   B Preferred Stock shall convert into such number of duly and validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable shares of Common Stock, free and clear of all pledges, claims, liens, charges, encumbrances, and security interests of any kind or nature whatsoever, equal to (i) the Liquidation Amount of the Series   B Preferred Stock for which a Holder Conversion Notice is properly received divided by (ii) $16.00 per share, which represents the per share price of the Common Stock, subject to adjustment pursuant to Section   6(e)   (“ Conversion Price ”).

 

(c) Notice of Conversion .  The holder of a share of Series   B Preferred Stock shall effect conversions at its option by delivery to the Issuer of a certificate representing the holder’s shares of Series   B Preferred Stock and a notice (a “ Holder Conversion Notice ”), specifying therein the number of shares of Series   B Preferred Stock to be converted.  The Holder Conversion Notice shall be sent to the Issuer no more than 60 and not less than 30 days prior to the Conversion Date.  Each Holder Conversion Notice, once given, is irrevocable.  In case any shares of Series   B Preferred Stock are called for redemption, such conversion right with respect to such shares of Series   B Preferred Stock or the portion so called shall expire at the close of business on the Business Day immediately preceding the corresponding redemption date, unless the Issuer defaults in making the payment due upon redemption.

 

(d) Issuance of Stock Certificate .  As soon as practicable after conversion of any of the shares of Series   B Preferred Stock pursuant to this Section   6 and surrender of the certificate or certificates for the share or shares of Series   B Preferred Stock to be converted, the Issuer at its expense will cause to be issued in the name of and delivered to the holder a certificate or certificates representing the number of shares of Common Stock being acquired upon such conversion, together with the cash payment, if any in lieu of fractional shares (bearing such legends as may be required by applicable state and federal securities laws in the opinion of legal counsel for the Issuer).  The Issuer will be responsible for the   payment of any stock transfer tax required to be paid in connection with the issuance of the Issuer’s Common Stock under this Section   6.

 

(e) Adjustment for Stock Splits and Combinations .   If at any time or from time to time after the Original Issue Date the Issuer effects a split or subdivision of the outstanding Common Stock without a corresponding split or subdivision of the Series   B Preferred Stock, the Conversion Price in effect immediately before that split or subdivision shall be proportionately decreased.  Conversely, if at any time or from time to time after the Original Issue Date the Issuer combines the outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares without a corresponding combination of the Series   B Preferred Stock, the Conversion Price in effect immediately before the combination shall be proportionately increased.  Any adjustment under this Section   6(e)   shall become effective at the close of business on the date the subdivision or combination becomes effective.

 

(f) Fraction Shares; Partial Conversion .  No fractional shares shall be issued upon conversion of Series   B Preferred Stock into Common Stock and no payment or adjustment shall be made upon any conversion on account of any cash dividends on the Common Stock declared and issued prior to such conversion.  In case the number of shares of Series   B Preferred Stock represented by the certificate or certificates surrendered pursuant to this Section   6 exceeds the number of shares converted, the Issuer shall, upon such conversion, execute and deliver to the holder, at the expense of the Issuer, a new certificate or certificates for the number of shares of Series   B Preferred Stock represented by the certificate or certificates surrendered which are not to be converted.  If any fractional share of Common Stock would, except for the provisions of the first sentence of this Section   6(f), be delivered upon such conversion, the Issuer, in lieu of delivering such fractional share, shall pay to the holder surrendering the Series   B Preferred Stock for conversion an amount in cash equal to the value of such fractional share as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors on the Conversion Date.

 

(g) Time of Conversion .  The conversion shall be deemed to have been made upon the applicable Conversion Date, regardless of whether the certificate or certificates for the share or shares of Series   B Preferred Stock have been surrendered on such date.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the holder agrees to promptly surrender the certificate or certificates for the share or shares of Series   B Preferred Stock prior to or upon such conversion.

(f) Status of Redeemed Shares .  Shares of Series   C Preferred Stock that are redeemed, repurchased or otherwise acquired by the Issuer shall revert to authorized but unissued shares of Preferred Stock ( provided that any such cancelled shares of Series   C Preferred Stock may be reissued only as shares of any series of Preferred Stock other than Series   C Preferred Stock).

A- 4


 

 

(b) Number of Shares Issuable Upon Conversion .  Upon a notice of conversion by the holders of shares of Series   C Preferred Stock pursuant to Section   6(c), each share of Series   C Preferred Stock shall convert into such number of duly and validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable shares of Common Stock, free and clear of all pledges, claims, liens, charges, encumbrances, and security interests of any kind or nature whatsoever, equal to (i) the Liquidation Amount of the Series   C Preferred Stock for which a Holder Conversion Notice is properly received divided by (ii) $16.00 per share, which represents the per share price of the Common Stock, subject to adjustment pursuant to Section   6(e)   (“ Conversion Price ”).

 

(c) Notice of Conversion .  The holder of a share of Series   C Preferred Stock shall effect conversions at its option by delivery to the Issuer of a certificate representing the holder’s shares of Series   C Preferred Stock and a notice (a “ Holder Conversion Notice ”), specifying therein the number of shares of Series   C Preferred Stock to be converted.  The Holder Conversion Notice shall be sent to the Issuer no more than 60 and not less than 30 days prior to the Conversion Date.  Each Holder Conversion Notice, once given, is irrevocable.  In case any shares of Series   C Preferred Stock are called for redemption, such conversion right with respect to such shares of Series   C Preferred Stock or the portion so called shall expire at the close of business on the Business Day immediately preceding the corresponding redemption date, unless the Issuer defaults in making the payment due upon redemption.

 

(d) Issuance of Stock Certificate .  As soon as practicable after conversion of any of the shares of Series   C Preferred Stock pursuant to this Section   6 and surrender of the certificate or certificates for the share or shares of Series   C Preferred Stock to be converted, the Issuer at its expense will cause to be issued in the name of and delivered to the holder a certificate or certificates representing the number of shares of Common Stock being acquired upon such conversion, together with the cash payment, if any in lieu of fractional shares (bearing such legends as may be required by applicable state and federal securities laws in the opinion of legal counsel for the Issuer).  The Issuer will be responsible for the   payment of any stock transfer tax required to be paid in connection with the issuance of the Issuer’s Common Stock under this Section   6.

 

(e) Adjustment for Stock Splits and Combinations .   If at any time or from time to time after the Original Issue Date the Issuer effects a split or subdivision of the outstanding Common Stock without a corresponding split or subdivision of the Series   C Preferred Stock, the Conversion Price in effect immediately before that split or subdivision shall be proportionately decreased.  Conversely, if at any time or from time to time after the Original Issue Date the Issuer combines the outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares without a corresponding combination of the Series   C Preferred Stock, the Conversion Price in effect immediately before the combination shall be proportionately increased.  Any adjustment under this Section   6(e)   shall become effective at the close of business on the date the subdivision or combination becomes effective.

 

(f) Fraction Shares; Partial Conversion .  No fractional shares shall be issued upon conversion of Series   C Preferred Stock into Common Stock and no payment or adjustment shall be made upon any conversion on account of any cash dividends on the Common Stock declared and issued prior to such conversion.  In case the number of shares of Series   C Preferred Stock represented by the certificate or certificates surrendered pursuant to this Section   6 exceeds the number of shares converted, the Issuer shall, upon such conversion, execute and deliver to the holder, at the expense of the Issuer, a new certificate or certificates for the number of shares of Series   C Preferred Stock represented by the certificate or certificates surrendered which are not to be converted.  If any fractional share of Common Stock would, except for the provisions of the first sentence of this Section   6(f), be delivered upon such conversion, the Issuer, in lieu of delivering such fractional share, shall pay to the holder surrendering the Series   C Preferred Stock for conversion an amount in cash equal to the value of such fractional share as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors on the Conversion Date.

MVB Financial Corp. (hereinafter “MVB Financial”) and Its Wholly Owned Subsidiaries,

 

(hereinafter collectively “MVB”)

 

CODE OF ETHICS FOR SENIOR FINANCIAL OFFICERS

 

Approved: May 20, 2014

 

This policy applies to all senior financial officers of MVB. The senior financial officers include Larry F. Mazza, Donald T. Robinson, Bret S. Price, Robert J. Bardusch, Patrick R. Esposito II, Roger J. Turner, John T. Schirripa, Donald T. Robinson, Eric L. Tichenor, David A. Jones, Harry E. Dean III, L. Randall Cober and Kenneth J. Juskowich (“Covered Persons”).

MVB Financial Corp.

Larry F. Mazza, Donald T. Robinson, Bret S. Price, Robert J. Bardusch, and Patrick R. Esposito II

 

MVB Bank, Inc.

Potomac Mortgage Group, Inc.

This Code of Ethics is required by the United States securities laws and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission as being necessary to deter wrongdoing and to promote:

 

(i) honest and ethical conduct, including the ethical handling of actual or apparent conflicts of interest between personal and professional relationships,

(ii) avoidance of conflicts of interest, including disclosure to an appropriate person or persons identified in the code of any material transaction or relationship that reasonably could be expected to give rise to such a conflict,

(iii) full, fair, accurate, timely, and understandable disclosure in reports and documents that MVB files with, or submits to, the Commission and in other public communications made by MVB,

(iv) compliance with applicable governmental laws, rules and regulations,

(vi) accountability for adherence to the code.

1


 

 

If you have any questions regarding this Code, please feel free to contact the MVB Financial Chief Executive Officer or the MVB Financial Chairman of the Board of Directors.  If you are not comfortable speaking with the MVB Financial Chief Executive Officer or MVB Financial Chairman of the Board of Directors, you are encouraged to speak with the MVB Financial Human Resources Director.

 

1.

Each Covered Person must avoid any transaction or arrangement that would create a conflict of interest or the appearance of a conflict of interest between personal and professional relationships.

 

A conflict of interest may be generally defined as a conflict between the Covered Person’s private interests and his or her responsibilities to MVB or an entity with which MVB maintains a relationship. A conflict of interest can also arise when an immediate family member is involved in a transaction or arrangement that in any way casts doubt upon the Covered Person’s independence. An “immediate family member” includes a Covered Person’s spouse, parents, children, siblings, mothers and fathers-in-law, sons and daughters-in-law, sisters-in-law, brothers-in-law, and anyone (other than employees) who shares the Covered Person’s home.

 

2.  Covered Persons may only accept items of nominal value as gifts from any individual

    or entity that is involved or seeks to become involved in a business relationship with

    MVB.

 

Gifts to Covered Persons must be inexpensive, unsolicited and not given with the objective of influencing the Covered Person’s judgment. It is acceptable for a Covered Person to accept modest meals or other inexpensive forms of entertainment from individuals or entities that are involved or seek to become involved in a business relationship with MVB as long as these items are not provided in order to influence the Covered Person’s business judgment or decision. Under no circumstances is a Covered Person permitted to accept payments, loans, kickbacks, bribes, special privileges or services from anyone. If there are any questions or borderline case, Covered Persons should discuss them first with the MVB Financial Chief Executive Officer, MVB Financial Chairperson of the Board of Directors,  MVB Financial Chairperson of the Governance Committee or the MVB Financial Chief Legal & Risk Officer, as appropriate.

 

3.  All Covered Persons are responsible for maintaining accurate financial records for   

    MVB.

 

Covered Persons must closely adhere to the following accounting guidelines:

 

(i)

All assets, liabilities and transactions of MVB should be accurately recorded in accordance with MVB’s record keeping procedures and generally accepted accounting principles;

 

(ii)

No false or misleading entries are permitted to be knowingly made or caused to be made in MVB’s record books, even if such entries would not be material to MVB or its operations as a whole; and

 

2


 

(iii)

Any entries that are inaccurate, false or irregular should be promptly reported to a member of the Audit Committee for an immediate corrective action.

 

4.  Covered Persons must recognize that confidential information is an asset of MVB, and

    must refrain from using inside information to their personal advantage.

 

Covered Persons must maintain the confidentiality of information entrusted to them by MVB or its customers or suppliers, except when disclosure is authorized or legally mandated. Confidential information includes all non-public information that might be of use to competitors, or harmful to MVB or its customers or suppliers, if disclosed.

 

At its core, the prohibition against insider trading focuses on the buying, selling or trading in securities using non-public information. The prohibition applies to securities of MVB as well as to customers and suppliers of MVB and, or any entity with which MVB and has a business relationship.

 

Covered Persons are in a unique position to acquire non-public information about MVB, and such information might influence their decision to buy, sell or trade securities. In addition to refraining from using inside information in making their own investment decisions, Covered Persons should also avoid discussing the inside information with friends or immediate family members (whether at home or in the public) or mailing or faxing the inside information to outside sources unless appropriate confidentiality agreements are in place to ensure that material, non-public information is not used improperly.

 

5.  The conduct of Covered Persons should be governed by the highest standards of

    integrity and fairness.

 

Covered Persons should avoid those situations in which outside personal interests conflict with MVB’s business. These situations include:

 

(i)

Ownership by a Covered Person, or a member of his or her immediate family, of a material financial interest in any outside enterprise that is involved or seeks to become involved in a business relationship with MVB;

 

(ii)

Ownership by a Covered Person, or a member of his or her immediate family, of a material financial interest in any outside enterprise that competes for business with MVB;

 

(iii)

Outside employment of a Covered Person, or a member of his or her immediate family, whether as a consultant, director, officer, employee or independent contractor, with an entity that is involved or seeks to become involved in a business relationship with MVB; or

 

(iv)

Appointment of a Covered Person, or a member of his or her immediate family, to a public office, board or commission that may create an appearance of a conflict of interest between the goals and purposes of that organization and MVB business. Such appointment would include a “public service” organization or a not-for-profit organization.

 

3


 

6.  Covered Persons must not take for themselves opportunities that they discover while

    working for MVB, or use corporate property or information for personal gain.

 

Covered Persons must not (a) take personal advantage of a situation or knowledge acquired through the use of his or her position or MVB’s property, if the situation or knowledge could be used for MVB’s benefit, (b) use his or her position or MVB property or information for personal gain, or (c) compete with the MVB. Covered Persons owe a duty to the MVB to advance its interests whenever the opportunity arises.

 

7.  In drafting periodic reports that are to be filed with the Securities and Exchange

    Commission, Covered Persons should take all steps necessary to ensure full, fair,

    accurate, timely and complete disclosure.

 

(i)

Go Beyond the Minimum Disclosure Required by Law . While in the past periodic reporting has focused on disclosing only those items that were mandated by the law, Covered Persons should go beyond the minimum requirements to convey the full financial picture of MVB to the public.

 

Areas of special attention include: off-balance sheet structures, insider and affiliated party transactions, board relationships, accounting policies, and auditor relationships.

 

(ii)

Make Sure All Relationships that Could Give Rise to Any Perceived Conflicts are Fully Disclosed . Given the recent focus of lawmakers on a more complete disclosure of any material conflict of interest to the public, it is important to ensure that any transaction that threatens to create the appearance of a conflict of interest must be fully disclosed in MVB’s periodic reports.

 

8.  Covered Persons must comply with all laws and regulations that apply to MVB’s

    business.

 

All Covered Persons should understand those laws that apply to them in the performance of their duties and ensure that their decisions and actions are conducted in conformity with those laws. Any violation of the applicable laws can subject MVB or the implicated Covered Person to liability. Any inquiries relating to compliance with applicable laws and regulations should be directed to the MVB Financial Chief Legal and Risk Officer.

 

9.  Accountability for adherence to the Code.

 

    Failure to adhere to the above detailed responsibilities by the Covered Persons may result in      

disciplinary action being taken against such persons. The disciplinary action may range up to and including termination. The Board of Directors shall be responsible for determining the

proper action to be taken.
