Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On August 23, 2023, Bank of Clarke, a Virginia chartered bank and the wholly owned subsidiary of Eagle Financial Services, Inc., completed the sale of its marine finance business, operating under the name LaVictoire Finance, to Axos Bank, a federally chartered savings bank, for $1.5 million pursuant to the terms of an Asset Purchase and Servicing Rights Agreement, by and between Bank of Clarke and Axos Bank, dated as of August 23, 2023 (the “Asset Purchase Agreement”) and a Loan Purchase and Sale Agreement, by and between Bank of Clarke and Axos Bank, dated as of August 23, 2023 (the “Loan Purchase Agreement”).

Under the Asset Purchase Agreement, Axos Bank agreed to assume the servicing of Bank of Clarke’s marine finance loans and those of third parties, each of which are currently being serviced by Bank of Clarke, for a fee of 20 basis points of the principal balance of the loans being serviced. The Asset Purchase Agreement contains a two-year non-solicitation provision related to the LaVictoire Finance employees who will become employees of Axos Bank.

Pursuant to the Loan Purchase Agreement, Axos Bank acquired all the marine vessel dealer floor plans loans currently held by Bank of Clarke at par value. The acquired loans had an aggregate principal balance of approximately $61.8 million as of the date of the Loan Purchase Agreement. The Loan Purchase Agreement contains an obligation for Bank of Clarke to repurchase loans sold to Axos Bank in certain circumstances, including a breach of a representation and warranty related to the purchased loans that adversely affects the collectability, title or value of the loan.

The foregoing description of the Asset Purchase Agreement and the Loan Purchase Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to such agreements that are filed hereto as Exhibits 10.1 and 10.2, respectively, and are incorporated by reference into this Item 1.01.
