Note 1. Organization and Basis of Presentation

Blue Ridge Bankshares, Inc. (the "Company"), a Virginia corporation, was formed in 1988 and is registered as a bank holding company under the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956, as amended. The Company is headquartered in Richmond, Virginia and conducts its business activities primarily through its wholly-owned subsidiary bank, Blue Ridge Bank, National Association (the "Bank") and its wealth and trust management subsidiary, BRB Financial Group, Inc. (the “Financial Group”). The Company exists primarily for the purposes of holding the stock of its subsidiaries, the Bank and the Financial Group.

The Bank operates under a national charter and is subject to regulation by the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (the “OCC”). Consequently, it undergoes periodic examinations by this regulatory authority. As a bank holding company, the Company is subject to supervision and regulation by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (the "Federal Reserve") and the Bureau of Financial Institutions of the Virginia State Corporation Commission, which also periodically conduct examinations of the holding company's activities.

As of December 31, 2025, the Bank operated twenty-seven full-service banking offices and two loan production offices across its footprint, which stretches from the Shenandoah Valley across the Piedmont region through Richmond and into the coastal peninsulas and Hampton Roads region of Virginia and into north-central North Carolina.

The Company, through the Financial Group, offers investment and wealth management and management services for personal and corporate trusts, including estate planning, estate settlement, trust administration, and life insurance products. The Company, through its minority investment in Hammond Insurance Agency, Inc. offers property and casualty insurance to individuals and businesses.

Regulatory Matters

During much of 2025, the Bank was subject to a Consent Order issued January 24, 2024 by its primary regulator, the OCC (the "Consent Order"). The Consent Order primarily concerned the Bank’s fintech operations and required the Bank to continue enhancing its controls for assessing and managing risks stemming from its fintech partnerships, added time frames for meeting certain of the directives, and required the Bank to maintain a leverage ratio of 10.0% and a total capital ratio of 13.0%, referred to as minimum capital ratios. On November 13, 2025, the OCC issued an order terminating the Consent Order effective the same date.

Special Cash Dividend

On October 27, 2025, the Company announced a special cash dividend of $0.25 per share of the Company's common stock totaling approximately $29.1 million. Of this amount, $22.6 million was paid on November 21, 2025 to shareholders of record as of the close of business on November 7, 2025. The remaining $6.5 million was established as a liability and will be paid if and when warrants to purchase common stock are exercised and if and when performance-based restricted stock awards ("PSAs") vest. This amount is reported in other liabilities on the Company's consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2025.

Share Repurchase Program

On August 25, 2025, the Company announced the adoption of a share repurchase program (the “Repurchase Program”) pursuant to which the Company may purchase up to $15.0 million of the Company’s common stock.

Repurchases may be made in open market purchases, block trades, or privately negotiated transactions, including upon the exercise of outstanding warrants to purchase common stock. The Company cannot predict when or if it will repurchase additional shares of common stock as the Repurchase Program will depend on a number of factors, including constraints specified in any Securities and Exchange Commission Rule 10b5-1 trading plans, price, and general business and market conditions.

For the year ended December 31, 2025, the Company repurchased 802,735 shares of its common stock at a weighted average price of $4.17 per share totaling $3.4 million. Additionally, the Company repurchased outstanding warrants to purchase 3,229,000 shares of its common stock at a weighted average price of $1.90 per warrant totaling $6.1 million. For additional information regarding the Repurchase Program, see Part II, Item 5 of this Form 10-K.

Sale of Mortgage Division

On March 27, 2025, the Company completed the sale of its mortgage division operating as Monarch Mortgage. The sale, which included the transfer of certain assets and leases to an unrelated mortgage company, resulted in a $0.2 million loss, reported in other noninterest income. Subsequent to the sale of Monarch Mortgage, the Company closed, funded, and sold the loans that were in process at the time of the sale by the end of the second quarter of 2025.

This transaction did not meet the criteria for classification as a discontinued operation under Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 205-20, Presentation of Financial Statements – Discontinued Operations, and is therefore reported within continuing operations as of and for all periods stated herein.

Private Placements

In the second quarter of 2024, the Company closed private placements in which it issued and sold shares of its common and preferred stock for gross proceeds of $161.6 million (collectively, the "Private Placements"). In June 2024, the Company’s shareholders approved an amendment to the Company's articles of incorporation authorizing the issuance of additional shares of common stock, thus enabling the conversion of the preferred shares issued in the Private Placements into shares of the Company’s common stock. The conversion occurred on June 28, 2024 and November 7, 2024. Capital proceeds received, net of issuance costs, from the Private Placements totaled $152.1 million. The Private Placements also included the issuance of warrants to purchase common stock at $2.50 per share.

The table below presents information pertaining to warrants to purchase the Company’s common stock as of and for the periods stated.
