This release includes "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Forward-looking statements are not historical facts, but instead represent only the beliefs, expectations, or opinions of ODNB and NACB and their respective management teams regarding future events, many of which, by their nature, are inherently uncertain and beyond the control of ODNB and NACB. Forward-looking statements may be identified by the use of such words as: "believe," "expect," "anticipate," "intend," "plan," "estimate," or words of similar meaning, or future or conditional terms, such as "will," "would," "should," "could," "may," "likely," "probably," or "possibly." These statements may address issues that involve significant risks, uncertainties, estimates, and assumptions made by management.

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." The actual results anticipated may not be realized or, even if substantially realized, they may not have the expected consequences to or effects on ODNB, NACB or each of their respective businesses or operations. Investors are cautioned not to rely too heavily on any such forward-looking statements. ODNB and NACB urge you to consider all of these risks, uncertainties and other factors carefully in evaluating all such forward-looking statements made by ODNB and NACB. Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made and ODNB and/or NACB undertake no obligation to update or clarify forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except to the extent required by applicable law.
