Item 5. Other Events
- ---------------------
MainStreet BankShares, Inc. filed a registration statement on Form SB-2 with the
Securities and Exchange Commission that became effective on August 24, 2001. The
registration statement is a secondary offering to offer a minimum of 510,850
shares of common stock and a maximum of 801,807 shares of common stock to the
public at $10.50 per share. The registration statement also offers 60,574 shares
of common stock at $10.50 per share to the organizing directors of Franklin
Community Bank, N.A. The primary reason for the secondary offering is to
organize and capitalize Franklin Community Bank, N.A. ("Franklin Bank"), to be
an additional wholly owned subsidiary of MainStreet BankShares, Inc. Currently,
MainStreet BankShares, Inc. has one wholly owned subsidiary, Smith River
Community Bank, N.A.
Franklin Community Bank, N.A., is being organized as a nationally chartered
commercial bank and member of the Federal Reserve Bank of Richmond. Franklin
Bank received its preliminary approval from the Office of the Comptroller of the
Currency ("OCC") on October 24, 2001 and from the Federal Deposit Insurance
Corporation ("FDIC") on November 2, 2001. Final approval was received from the
OCC on September 12, 2002 and from the FDIC on September 12, 2002 with
permission to open on September 16, 2002. The State Corporation Commission and
the Federal Reserve Bank, N.A. both gave approvals for MainStreet BankShares,
Inc. to acquire 100% of the stock of Franklin Community Bank, N.A. on July 23,
2002 and July 18, 2002, respectively. Franklin Community Bank, N.A. did open for
business on September 16, 2002. Franklin Bank plans to operate, much like Smith
River Community Bank, N.A., as a locally-owned and operated commercial bank
emphasizing personal customer service and other advantages incident to banking
with a locally-owned community bank. In the early years, it will rely on local
advertising and the personal contacts of its directors and employees, and our
shareholders to attract customers and business to the Bank. The Franklin Bank
will initially be located at 400 Old Franklin Turnpike, Suite 108, Rocky Mount,
Virginia.
As provided in the registration statement, the offering would terminate at June
30, 2002 if the minimum of all shares of common stock to the public and the
organizers of 571,424 had not been sold, but MainStreet BankShares, Inc reserved
the right to extend the offering to December 31, 2002. The Board of Directors of
MainStreet BankShares, Inc. voted unanimously at a regular meeting of the board
on June 19, 2002, to extend the offering to September 30, 2002.
