Note 12 – Subsequent Events



On December 17, 2019, the Company authorized a Voluntary Early Retirement Incentive Plan (the "Voluntary Plan") to be offered to certain eligible long-term employees of Bank of the James, a Virginia banking corporation that is a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (the "Bank").  Eight (8) of the nine (9) employees eligible to participate elected to take early retirement.  Upon acceptance of the early retirement offers on April 3, 2020, each of the retiring individuals received from the Company a one-time lump sum payment, in an amount calculated on the basis of his or her years of service as an employee.  In connection with the Voluntary Plan, on April 3, 2020 the Company incurred a total expense of approximately $630,000, substantially all of which was attributable to the one-time termination benefits paid by the Company. There are no future cash expenditures to be paid under the Voluntary Plan.



On April 13, 2020, the Company commenced a private placement of unregistered debt securities (the “2020 Offering”).  In the 2020 Offering, the Company is offering up to $12,000,000 in principal of notes (the “2020 Notes.”)  The 2020 Notes will bear interest at the rate of 3.25% per year with interest payable quarterly in arrears.  The 2020 Notes will mature on June 30, 2025 and are subject to full or partial repayment on or after June 30, 2021.  The Company intends to use the proceeds from the 2020 Offering for general corporate purposes in the discretion of Company’s management.  Such purposes may include the payment of principal of the Company’s currently outstanding 4.00% notes that were issued in 2017, contribution of additional capital to the Bank, payment of interest on the 2020 Notes, and other general corporate purposes.
