affect us are described below. Before you decide to invest in our common stock, you should carefully read and consider all of the information contained in this prospectus supplement, including the risks and uncertainties described below and under
&#147;Special Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements&#148; in this prospectus supplement, and the other documents incorporated by reference into this prospectus supplement, including the risks and uncertainties described under
&#147;Risk Factors&#148; in the accompanying prospectus, our Annual Report on Form <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">10-K</FONT> for the year ended December&nbsp;31, 2023, and our Quarterly Reports on Form <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">10-Q</FONT>
for the quarters ended March&nbsp;31, 2024, June&nbsp;30, 2024 and September&nbsp;30, 2024. Any of these risks, if they are realized, could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations, and consequently, the
value of our common stock. In any such case, you could lose all or a portion of your original investment. Further, additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently believe to be immaterial may also adversely affect
us. This prospectus supplement also contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. See the section entitled &#147;Special Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements.&#148; </I></P>

will have issued and outstanding &#8195;&#8195;&#8195;&#8195; shares of our common stock (or &#8195;&#8195;&#8195;&#8195; shares if the underwriters exercise their option to purchase additional shares in full), a significant portion of which will be
freely transferable without restriction or further registration under the Securities Act. We, our executive officers, our directors and certain shareholders holding, in the aggregate, 794,733 shares of our common stock as of December&nbsp;31, 2024
(representing approximately 22.4% of our outstanding shares of common stock as of such date), have agreed not to sell any shares of our common stock for a period of 90 days from the date of this prospectus supplement, or the <FONT
STYLE="white-space:nowrap">Lock-Up</FONT> Period, subject to certain exceptions. See the section entitled &#147;Underwriting.&#148; Following the expiration of the <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">Lock-Up</FONT> Period, all of these shares will be
eligible for resale under Rule 144 of the Securities Act, subject to any applicable holding period requirements and volume limitations. In addition, the underwriters, at any time and without notice, may release all or any portion of the common stock
subject to such <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">lock-up</FONT> restrictions. The remaining shares of our common stock outstanding prior to this offering are not subject to <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">lock-up</FONT> agreements and they may be
freely resold at any time, subject to the restrictions described in this prospectus supplement, if applicable, for affiliate holders. The shares of our common stock being offered and sold in this offering will also generally be available for resale
into the public markets. See the section entitled &#147;Underwriting.&#148; </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:9%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">We may also issue additional shares in the future for various
purposes without any action or approval by our shareholders, and these shares, once issued, will be available for sale into the public market, subject to the restrictions described in this prospectus supplement, if applicable, for affiliate holders.
The market price for our common stock may decline significantly when the restrictions on resale by our existing shareholders lapse. Actual or anticipated issuances or sales of substantial additional amounts of our common stock following this
offering could cause the market price of our common stock to decline significantly and make it more difficult for us to sell equity or equity-related securities in the future on favorable terms, or at all. We cannot predict the size of future
issuances of our common stock or the effect, if any, that future issuances and sales of our common stock will have on the market price of our common stock. Sales of substantial amounts of our common stock, or the perception that such sales could
occur, may adversely affect prevailing market prices for our common stock. Further, a decline in the market price of our common stock might impede our ability to raise capital through the issuance of additional common stock or other equity
securities. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:9%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B><I>The market price of our common stock may be volatile, and we may not be able to meet investor or analyst expectations.

the market price of our common stock may negatively impact the price at which our common stock may be sold and may also negatively impact the timing of any sale. The market price of our common stock may continue to fluctuate widely in response to a

our business. If one or more of the analysts who covers us downgrades our common stock or publishes inaccurate or unfavorable research about our business, or our operating results do not meet their expectations, either absolutely or relative to our
competitors, the market price of our common stock would likely decline. If one or more of these analysts cease coverage of us or fail to publish reports about us regularly, (1)&nbsp;we could lose visibility in the financial markets, which in turn
could cause the market price of our common stock or trading volume to decline and (2)&nbsp;demand for our common stock could decrease, which could cause the market price of our common stock and trading volume to decline. If we fail to meet the
expectations of analysts for our operating results, the market price of our common stock would likely decline. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:9%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B><I>We depend on the

principal source of funds to pay distributions on our common stock and service any of our obligations, other than further issuances of securities, is dividends received from the Bank. The holding company, Eagle Financial Services, Inc., is a legal
entity separate and distinct from the Bank. Furthermore, the Bank is not obligated to pay dividends to us, and any dividends paid to us would depend on the earnings or financial condition of the Bank, various business considerations, and applicable
law and regulation. As is generally the case for banking institutions, the profitability of the Bank is subject to the fluctuating cost and availability of money, changes in interest rates, and economic conditions in general. In addition, various
federal statutes and regulations limit the amount of dividends that the Bank may pay to us without regulatory approval. </P>

cash dividends on our common stock. On January&nbsp;22, 2025, we announced the declaration of a quarterly cash dividend of $0.31 per share on our outstanding common stock. The dividend will be paid on February 14, 2025 to shareholders of record as
of the close of business on February&nbsp;3, 2025. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:9%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Holders of our common stock are entitled to receive only such dividends as our board
of directors may declare out of funds legally available for such payments. Our board of directors may, in its sole discretion, change the amount or frequency of dividends or discontinue the payment of dividends entirely. The timing, declaration,
amount and payment of future cash dividends, if any, will be within the discretion of our board of directors and will depend upon then-existing conditions, including our results of operations, financial condition, capital requirements, investment
opportunities, growth opportunities, any legal, regulatory, contractual or other limitations on our ability to pay dividends and other factors our board of directors may deem relevant. In addition, we are a bank holding company, and our ability to
declare and pay dividends is dependent on federal regulatory considerations, including the guidelines of the Federal Reserve regarding capital adequacy and dividends. It is the policy of the Federal Reserve that bank holding companies should
generally pay dividends on common stock only out of earnings, and only if prospective earnings retention is consistent with the organization&#146;s expected future needs, asset quality and financial condition, and that bank holding companies should
inform and consult with the Federal Reserve in advance of declaring and paying a dividend that exceeds earnings for the period for which the dividend is being paid. If the Company effectuates a balance sheet restructuring transaction, it is possible
that the Company would be required to seek the Federal Reserve&#146;s <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">non-objection</FONT> prior to declaring dividends. Any future payment of dividends will also depend on the Bank&#146;s ability to make
distributions and payments to the Company, as these distributions and payments are our principal source of funds to pay dividends. The Bank is also subject to various legal, regulatory and other restrictions on its ability to make distributions and
payments to the Company. In addition, in the future, we may enter into borrowing or other contractual arrangements that restrict our ability to pay dividends. As a consequence of these various limitations and restrictions, we may not be able to
make, or may have to reduce or eliminate, the payment of dividends on our common stock. Any change in the level of our dividends or the suspension of the payment thereof could have an adverse effect on the market price of our common stock. See also

as any preferred stock that has been issued. As of September&nbsp;30, 2024, we had $30&nbsp;million of subordinated notes outstanding. We had no preferred stock outstanding at that date. We could also incur future debt obligations or issue preferred
stock in the future to raise additional capital. In such event, holders of our common stock will not be entitled to receive any payment or other distribution of assets upon the liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company until after all of
our obligations to the debt holders are satisfied and holders of subordinated debt and senior equity securities, including preferred shares, if any, have received any payment or distribution due to them. In addition, we may be required to pay
interest on future debt obligations and preferred stock before we would be able to pay any dividends on our common stock. Since any decision to issue debt securities or incur other borrowings in the future will depend on market conditions and other
factors beyond our control, the amount, timing, nature or success of our future capital raising efforts is uncertain. Thus, holders of our common stock bear the risk that our future issuances of debt securities or our incurrence of other borrowings
will negatively affect the market price of our common stock. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:9%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B><I>Our management will have broad discretion in allocating the net

including: a staggered board of directors, the exclusive right of our board to fill any director vacancy; and advance notice requirements for shareholder proposals and director nominations. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:9%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Virginia law contains two antitakeover statutes: the Affiliated Transactions Statute and the Control Share Acquisitions Statute, each of which
could make it more difficult for another party to acquire the Company without the approval of the Company&#146;s board of directors. These provisions are expected to discourage specific types of coercive takeover practices and inadequate takeover
bids as well as to encourage persons seeking to acquire control to first negotiate with the Company. Although these provisions may have the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing a change in control, the Company believes that the benefits of
increased protection through the potential ability to negotiate with the proponent of an unfriendly or unsolicited proposal to acquire or restructure the Company outweigh the disadvantages of discouraging these proposals because, among other things,
negotiation of such proposals could result in an improvement of their terms. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:9%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B><I>If you purchase our common stock in this offering, you

in this offering. Short sales may be &#147;covered short sales,&#148; which are short positions in an amount not greater than the underwriters&#146; purchase option referred to above, or may be &#147;naked short sales,&#148; which are short

the price at which they may purchase shares through the purchase option described above. The underwriters must close out any naked short position by purchasing shares in the open market. A naked short position is more likely to be created if the

provisions that could make more difficult an acquisition of the Company by means of a tender offer, a proxy contest or otherwise. In addition, Virginia has two anti-takeover statutes, the affiliated transactions statute and the control share
acquisitions statute, that could make it more difficult for another party to acquire the Company without the approval of the Company&#146;s board of directors. These provisions are expected to discourage specific types of coercive takeover practices
and inadequate takeover bids as well as to encourage persons seeking to acquire control to first negotiate with the Company. Although these provisions may have the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing a change in control, the Company believes
that the benefits of increased protection through the potential ability to negotiate with the proponent of an unfriendly or unsolicited proposal to acquire or restructure the Company outweigh the disadvantages of discouraging these proposals
because, among other things, negotiation of such proposals could result in an improvement of their terms. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B><I>Special Voting

offer to sell a particular series of debt securities, we will describe the specific terms and conditions of the series in a prospectus supplement to this prospectus. We will also indicate in the applicable prospectus supplement whether the general
terms and conditions described in this prospectus apply to the series of debt securities. The terms and conditions of the debt securities of a series may be different in one or more respects from the terms and conditions described below. If so,
those differences will be described in the applicable prospectus supplement. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">We will issue the debt securities in one or more series

is subject to, and qualified in its entirety by reference to, the indentures, the forms of which have been filed with the SEC as exhibits to the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part. A form of each debt security, any future
supplemental indenture or similar document also will be so filed. You should read the indentures and any supplemental indenture or similar document because they, and not this description, define your rights as holder of our debt securities. All
capitalized terms have the meanings specified in the indentures. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">For purposes of this section of this prospectus, references to

any series, issue additional debt securities ranking equally with, and otherwise similar in all respects to, the debt securities of the series (except for any differences in the issue price and, if applicable, the initial interest accrual date and
interest payment date) so that those additional debt securities will be consolidated and form a single series with the debt securities of the series previously offered and sold; provided that if the additional debt securities are not fungible with
the debt securities of the series previously offered or sold for U.S. federal income tax purposes, the additional debt securities will have a separate CUSIP or other identifying number. </P>
