On December 6, 2005, Mrs. Leila N. Erwin agreed to serve as a member of the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of Bank of Granite Corporation (the “Company”). Mrs. Erwin was appointed to fill a newly created vacancy on the Board, which resulted from a recent increase in Board size from eight to nine directors. Mrs. Erwin’s term will commence on December 6, 2005 and will expire at the next Annual Meeting of Stockholders or when her successor has been elected and qualified. Mrs. Erwin has not been appointed or designated to serve on any committee of the Company’s Board, and no determination has been made as to whether Mrs. Erwin will be appointed to any such committee.
There are no arrangements or understandings between Mrs. Erwin and any other person relating to her election as a director of the Company. Mrs. Erwin does not have any relationships and has not entered into any transactions that would be reportable under Item 404(a) of Regulation S-K.
