ODNB Financial Corporation and National Capital Bancorp, Inc. Announce Receipt of OCC Approval and Federal Reserve Waiver to Complete Mergers

Virginia regulatory approval and votes from both companies' shareholders remain pending before the mergers can close.

Rhea-AI Summary

National Capital Bancorp (NACB) and ODNB Financial Corporation received regulatory clearance steps for their previously announced holding-company and bank mergers. The OCC approved the bank merger on September 29, 2026. The Federal Reserve Bank of Richmond previously notified ODNB that it did not object to a waiver of holding-company merger approval requirements because the OCC reviews the bank merger.

NACB will merge into ODNB, the surviving holding company. Immediately afterward, Old Dominion National Bank will merge into The National Capital Bank of Washington, the surviving bank. The combined holding company will be named National Capital Bancorp and expects to list on Nasdaq under NACB. The companies expect completion in the fourth quarter of 2026, subject to Virginia Bureau of Financial Institutions approval, both companies' shareholder approvals and customary closing conditions.

How this balance works

Rhea-AI gives every point it takes from this document a weight. Minor counts 1, Moderate 3 and Major 9, so one Major point outweighs several Minor ones. The bar adds up the weights on each side, and when neither side holds more than 65% of the total the balance reads Mixed.

It reads the document as published, with the same rules for every company, and it does not look at what the market expected or at how the stock traded, so a point can be objectively good on a day the stock falls.

Rhea-AI Sentiment measures something else, the tone of the wording.

The following factors, among others, could cause actual results to differ materially from the anticipated results or other expectations expressed in the forward-looking statements in this release: (1) the possibility that the proposed transaction does not close when expected or at all because required regulatory, shareholder or other approvals and other conditions to closing are not received or satisfied on a timely basis or at all, or are obtained subject to conditions that are not anticipated (and the risk that such approvals may result in the imposition of conditions that could adversely affect the combined company or the expected benefits of the proposed transaction); (2) the outcome of any legal proceedings that may be instituted against ODNB or NACB; and (3) the occurrence of any event, change, or other circumstance that could give rise to the right of one or both of the parties to terminate the definitive merger agreement between ODNB and NACB.

These factors are not necessarily all of the factors that could cause ODNB's, NACB's or the combined company's actual results, performance or achievements to differ materially from those expressed in or implied by any of the forward-looking statements. Other factors, including unknown or unpredictable factors, also could harm ODNB's, NACB's or the combined company's results. Additional factors that could cause results to differ materially from those described above may be found in the Registration Statement on Form S-4, as amended, that ODNB filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"), including under the heading "Risk Factors."
