TRANSACTION STATEMENT
This Rule 13E-3 Transaction Statement on Schedule 13E-3, as amended (the “Schedule 13E-3”), is being filed pursuant to Section 13(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) by (1) CNB Bancorp, Inc., a Virginia corporation (the “Company”), Citizens National Bank, the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary (the “Bank”), and all of the current executive officers and directors of the Company (collectively with the Bank, the “Affiliates”). This Schedule 13-E relates to a proposed merger transaction (the “Merger”), pursuant to which the Company will merge with and into the Bank, with the Bank as the surviving entity. In connection with the Merger, each shareholder of record of the Company’s common stock (the “CNB Stock”) will have the right to receive one share of the Bank’s common stock (the “Bank Stock”) for each share of CNB Stock such shareholder owns. No cash will be paid to shareholders as consideration for their shares; only Bank Stock will be issued. Upon completion of the Merger, the Company will cease its separate corporate existence. The Merger is designed to allow the Company to terminate the registration of the CNB Stock under the Exchange Act.
This Schedule 13-E is being filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission concurrently with a preliminary proxy statement, as amended (the “Proxy Statement”) filed by the Company in accordance with Regulation 14A under the Exchange Act, pursuant to which the holders of CNB Stock will be given notice of the annual meeting of shareholders at which they will be asked to (i) approve the Merger (ii) elect the nominees for directors, (iii) vote on the adjournment of the annual meeting to another time and date if such action is necessary for the Board of Directors of the Company to solicit additional proxies in favor of the articles of merger of the Company affecting the proposed merger transaction, or attendance at the meeting, and (iv) transact any other business properly brought before the annual meeting.
