On December 31, 2019, pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of September 11, 2019, by and between First Community Bankshares, Inc. (“First Community”) and Highlands Bankshares, Inc. (“Highlands”), Highlands merged with and into First Community (the “Merger”). As a result of the Merger, Highlands ceased to exist as of 5:01 p.m. on December 31, 2019.

As a result of the Merger, Highlands has terminated the offering of securities pursuant to the Registration Statement. In accordance with the undertakings made by Highlands in the Registration Statement to remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of its securities being registered under the Registration Statement that remain unsold at the termination of the offering, First Community (as successor to Highlands) hereby terminates the effectiveness of the Registration Statement and deregisters any and all shares of the Common Stock originally reserved for issuance under the 2018 Restricted Stock Plan covered by the Registration Statement and registered under the Registration Statement, which remain unsold or unissued as of the date hereof.
