The First National Corporation Employee Stock Ownership Plan (the "ESOP") is an employee benefit plan subject to the provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended ("ERISA"), with individual accounts for the benefit of participating employees and their beneficiaries. The ESOPs assets are held in trust by the First National Corporation Employee Stock Ownership Trust (the "Trust"), of which Elizabeth H. Cottrell, Scott C. Harvard, and James R. Wilkins, III are currently trustees (the "Plan Trustees"). The number of shares listed as beneficially owned represents the number of shares of Common Stock held in the ESOP by the Trust as of December 31, 2016. As of December 31, 2016, all of the 247,283 shares of Common Stock held in the ESOP were allocated to individual accounts established for participating employees and their beneficiaries. There were no unallocated shares of Common Stock held in the ESOP as of December 31, 2016.

Participating employees and their beneficiaries have the power and authority to direct the voting of shares of Common Stock allocated to their individual accounts through the Plan Trustees with respect to any corporate matter which involves the voting of such shares at a shareholder meeting and which constitutes a merger, consolidation, recapitalization, reclassification, liquidation, dissolution, sale of substantially all assets of a trade or business or a similar transaction. Except for corporate matters otherwise described above, shares of Common Stock in the trust shall be voted by the Plan Trustees in the manner directed by the Plan Administrator, currently Dennis A. Dysart. Unallocated shares of Common Stock held by the ESOP, if any, are voted in the manner determined by the Plan Administrator. As a result of such shared voting power, the shares of Common Stock held in the ESOP are included in the shares beneficially owned by the ESOP.
