Explanatory Note

This Amendment No. 1 to Current Report on Form 8-K/A (the “Amendment”) amends the Current Report on Form 8-K filed by Bank of the James Financial Group, Inc. (the “Company”) on August 4, 2022 (the “Initial Filing”), which disclosed the appointment of Eric J. Sorenson, Jr. as Executive Vice President-General Counsel of Bank of the James (the “Bank”), the wholly-owned bank subsidiary of the Company. At the time of the initial filing, the terms of the Salary Continuation Agreement and Mr. Sorenson had not been finalized. This Amendment is being filed to provide a summary of the terms of the Salary Continuation Agreement.

Item 5.02 - Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers

Effective January 1, 2023, Mr. Sorenson and the Bank entered into a Salary Continuation Agreement (the “Agreement”).

The Agreement also provides a lesser benefit upon the occurrence of a voluntary termination before reaching age 65 or upon Mr. Sorenson’s disability. The amount of the annual benefit in either pre-retirement scenario is based on a vesting and accrual schedule set forth in the Agreement. The Agreement also provides for a lump sum benefit in the event of a change in control followed by the termination of Mr. Sorenson based on the amount set forth on the schedule attached to the Agreement. A fixed pre-retirement death benefit to be paid in a lump sum is provided for Mr. Sorenson. Payments under the Agreement are expected to be funded with bank owned life insurance policies on Mr. Sorenson.
