The Company has indicated in its filings that it is not an emerging growth company as defined under the Securities Act of 1933 and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

The Company’s securities registered pursuant to Section 12(b) of the Securities Exchange Act are listed in its filings as “None.” This means that, based on the cited filing, New Peoples Bankshares, Inc. did not have a class of securities registered on a national securities exchange under Section 12(b) at the time of that report, and instead reports under a different registration basis.
