On October 24, 2023, Blue Ridge Bankshares, Inc. (the “Company”) and Blue Ridge Bank, National Association (the “Bank”), the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary, entered into an amended and restated employment agreement with G. William Beale, the President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company and the Chief Executive Officer of the Bank (the “Amended Agreement”). The Amended Agreement amends and replaces Mr. Beale’s employment agreement, dated May 7, 2023, with the Bank (the “Original Agreement”) that was disclosed in the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed on July 17, 2023. The Amended Agreement reflects Mr. Beale’s current positions of President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company, in addition to being the Bank’s Chief Executive Officer, and provides for his service on the Company’s Board of Directors while the Amended Agreement is in effect. The Amended Agreement also contains certain ministerial and administrative changes, including adding the Company as a party to the agreement. There were no other material changes to the Original Agreement.

A copy of the Amended Agreement will be filed as an exhibit to the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2023.
