<p style="font-family:'Times New Roman', Times, serif;font-size:10pt;margin:0pt;text-align:justify;text-indent:36pt;">On May 3, 2018 National Bankshares, Inc. (&ldquo;Company&rdquo;) was informally notified by The NASDAQ Stock Market, LLC (&ldquo;NASDAQ&rdquo;) that the Company had failed to comply with NASDAQ&rsquo;s audit and compensation committee requirements under Listing Rules 5605(c)(2) and 5605 (d)(2) as a result of the appointment of James G. Rakes, the Company&rsquo;s former Chief Executive Officer to the Company&rsquo;s Audit and Compensation Committees. NASDAQ&rsquo;s listing standards require these Committees to be comprised solely of &ldquo;independent&rdquo; directors. Mr. Rakes is not considered &ldquo;independent&rdquo; under NASDAQ&rsquo;s listing standards due to his recent retirement on August 31, 2017. The Company promptly corrected this inadvertent violation and Mr. Rakes resigned from those Committees on May 3, 2018, the same day it received the informal notice from NASDAQ.</p>

<p style="font-family:'Times New Roman', Times, serif;font-size:10pt;margin:0pt;text-align:left;">On May 10, 2018 the Company received notification from NASDAQ that, subject to this disclosure, NASDAQ considers this matter closed.</p>
