SECURITIES EXCHANGE ACT OF 1934 AND RULE 13e-3 THEREUNDER

This Rule 13e-3 Transaction Statement on Schedule 13E-3 (the “Schedule”) is being filed by the filing persons listed on the cover of this Schedule in connection with amendments to the articles of incorporation of Piedmont Community Bank Group, Inc. (“Piedmont Community Bank Group” or the “Company”), which collectively provide for the reclassification (the “Reclassification”) of shares of the Company’s common stock held by shareholders of record of fewer than 601 shares into the Company’s Class A Common Stock. The Reclassification is designed to reduce the number of shareholders of record of the Company’s common stock to below 300 in order to allow the Company to terminate registration of its common stock under Section 12 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”) and to terminate its obligation to file reports under Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act. A copy of the Articles of Amendment containing the proposed amendments is attached as Appendix A to the definitive proxy statement filed by the Company concurrently with this Schedule (the “Proxy Statement”). The Proxy Statement is being filed under cover of Schedule 14A pursuant to Regulation 14A of the Exchange Act and is incorporated by reference herein. The Proxy Statement relates to the annual meeting of shareholders at which the Company’s shareholders will consider and vote upon the proposed amendments.
