If you told us we should send home everyone that was able to work remotely and asked us what Zoom was, we wouldn’t know how to respond. And if you asked us to stand up a team to work around the clock to make or defer loans for most of our business customers based on unclear and constantly changing lending terms, we really would have thought you lost your mind. But in 2020, we did all of this and it’s thanks to the severity of COVID-19 as we had two team hard work and dedication of an amazing group members pass away due to complications from of bankers. Like many essential businesses, the virus. Bill Stephens, who spent the bulk of his we pivoted to new ways of doing things in career at American National and served as our IT order to keep our employees and communities Director until 2019, passed away in October of safe and to continue to meet the needs of our 2020. Then at the start of 2021, Scotty Glazener, customers. We didn’t just stay open– we went who was a valued part of our team for the past above and beyond to respond to our customers ten years, fell victim to the virus. And sadly, those and communities when they needed us. Upon were not the only losses we experienced this past passage of the Cares Act, we assembled a team year. Bill Traynham, the Chief Financial Officer that worked 24/7 to make sure our customers got of American National until his 2019 medical the PPP funding. We have approved nearly 3,000 retirement, lost his hard-fought battle to cancer PPP loans through March 10, 2021 totaling just in April of 2020. Our condolences continue to be shy of $350 million in both the first and second extended to the families and loved ones of these rounds of the program. We are extremely proud three wonderful men. and humbled to be able to effectively help our local businesses get the funding they needed. We know 2020 had an impact on countless others, and as the vaccine distributions continue we can all take something positive away from this period. The quote, “never waste a crisis,” was recited many times throughout the year, and as we reflect on the past year, we are encouraged by the team of people that we have assembled and the overwhelming support of our valuable customers, board members, and shareholders. We have learned a lot about what we are capable of and will certainly use our experiences from 2020 as we move forward. There are two board members we would like to recognize for their contributions as they transition off our board. The first is Claude Owen, who joined our board in 1984 and served his final year with us in 2021 as an Emeritus Director. His contributions to our Company have been immeasurable as he has been with us since we were a small, community bank serving a single market to where we are today as a regional community bank in 11 markets. Ken Bowling, who joined our board in 2019 with our acquisition of HomeTown Bankshares, will be retiring as a director at the May 2021 annual meeting. Ken was influential in establishing HomeTown Bank’s presence in the New River Valley market of Virginia in 2008, and we have appreciated his continued service. Despite the significant economic impact of COVID-19 and with increasing our loan loss allowance by $8.3 million, our net income for the year was $30.0 million compared to $20.9 million in 2019. The 2019 earnings were impacted by $11.8 million in merger-related expenses. We ended the year with total assets at $3.1 billion and $2.6 billion in total deposits, compared to $2.5 billion and $2.1 billion, respectively, in 2019. The growth over the same period a year ago is primarily due to loan and deposit growth associated with the PPP program. We are so grateful for our employees and customers for their ability to pivot to new ways of operating this past year, but we would be remiss if we did not also thank you, our shareholders. It is your support and continued investment in our Company that ultimately strengthens our communities. Very truly yours, Unfortunately, we were not immune to the and we emerge from the pandemic, we hope that Chairman of the Board President & Chief Executive Officer 2 3 Financial Heroes 2020 showed us how much we need each other. So many people throughout the country stepped up to help their neighbors and their communities, despite the health risk we were all facing. From healthcare workers and grocery store personnel, to teachers and caregivers, we saw heroes among us. And while so many people weren’t able to work or had to shut the doors to their businesses, banks across the country were on the financial frontlines ready to help. We were proud to be one of them. American National has some of the most reliable and flexible bankers around who were ready to roll up their sleeves, put on a mask, and do whatever it takes to help our customers. Relationships matter. You can count on us. 4 4 5 Community Banks Buil d Better Communities We kicked off 2020 by sponsoring the Virginia We were also hands-on in hosting food drives in Reads One Book (VAROB) program at some area visible corridors as we tried to help alleviate this elementary schools in our footprint.
