Item 5.07 Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders.
On February 11, 2014, MVB Financial Corp. held a Special Meeting of Shareholders.
The Proxy Committee certified that 2,212,062 or 59.7% of the 3,707,973 voting shares of MVB Financial Corp. were represented in person or by proxy and that in accordance with the Bylaws of MVB Financial Corp., a quorum was present.
The results of the proxy voting rounded to the nearest number of whole shares are as follows:

No other matters were brought before the meeting.
With respect to Proposal 1, it is unclear whether the consent of the United States Treasury, as holder of 8,500 shares of Preferred Stock under the SBLF Program, is necessary. The Certificate of Designation with respect to those shares requires the vote or consent by Treasury in order to authorize preferred stock which is senior to the shares issued to the Treasury. Under West Virginia law, the terms and conditions of preferred stock are not set until a Certificate of Designation is filed with the Office of the Secretary of State. No terms and conditions have been set for the additional shares of preferred stock authorized by the shareholders at the Special Meeting of Shareholders. MVB Financial has contacted Treasury for a determination of whether consent is necessary, and if so, whether Treasury will grant the consent. MVB Financial is awaiting Treasury’s decision and will not effectuate Proposal 1 until such time as a favorable response is received.
