Strategic Merger of Equals Between
Virginia National Bankshares Corporation and Fauquier Bankshares, Inc. Investor Presentation October 1, 2020 Exhibit 99.1
Compliance Disclosures Additional
Information About the Merger and Where to Find It In connection with the proposed merger, Virginia National Bankshares Corporation (“VABK”) intends to file with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) a
registration statement on Form S-4, which will include a joint proxy statement/prospectus to be mailed to shareholders of both VABK and Fauquier Bankshares, Inc. (“FBSS”). SECURITY HOLDERS OF VABK AND FBSS ARE ADVISED TO READ THE
REGISTRATION STATEMENT AND THE JOINT PROXY STATEMENT/PROSPECTUS WHEN THEY BECOME AVAILABLE AND ANY OTHER DOCUMENTS FILED WITH THE SEC, AS WELL AS ANY AMENDMENTS OR SUPPLEMENTS TO THOSE DOCUMENTS, BECAUSE THEY WILL CONTAIN IMPORTANT INFORMATION
REGARDING VABK, FBSS AND THE PROPOSED MERGER TRANSACTION. Security holders may obtain free copies of these documents, once they are filed, and other documents filed with the SEC on the SEC’s website at http://www.sec.gov. Security holders will
also be able to obtain these documents, once they are filed, free of charge, by requesting them in writing from Tara Y. Harrison, VABK’s Chief Financial Officer, at 404 People Place, Charlottesville, Virginia 22911, or by telephone at (434)
817-8587, or Christine E. Headly, FBSS’s Chief Financial Officer, at 10 Courthouse Square, Warrenton, Virginia 20186, or by telephone at (540) 349-0218. VABK, FBSS and their respective directors and executive officers may be deemed to be
participants in the solicitation of proxies from the shareholders of VABK and FBSS in connection with the proposed merger. Information about the directors and executive officers of VABK and FBSS will be included in the joint proxy
statement/prospectus when it becomes available. Additional information regarding the interests of those persons and other persons who may be deemed participants in the transaction may be obtained by reading the joint proxy statement/prospectus
regarding the proposed merger when it becomes available. You may obtain free copies of each document as described in the preceding paragraph. This presentation does not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy any
securities or a solicitation of any vote or proxy in favor of the merger, nor shall there be any sale of securities in any jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification under the
securities laws of such jurisdiction. Risks Relating to the Coronavirus (COVID-19) Outbreak In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared the coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak a pandemic and the United States declared a national emergency.
Global and national health concerns relating to the coronavirus outbreak have been weighing on the local, national and global economic environments, and the outbreak has significantly increased economic uncertainty. The outbreak has resulted in
authorities implementing numerous measures to try to contain the virus, such as travel bans and restrictions, quarantines, shelter in place orders, and business shutdowns. These measures have not only negatively impacted consumer and business
spending habits, they have also adversely impacted and may further impact VABK and FBSS's workforces and operations and the operations of their customers, vendors and business partners. These measures may remain in place for a significant period of
time and they are likely to continue to adversely affect the businesses, results of operations and financial condition of VABK and FBSS. The bank regulatory agencies and various governmental authorities are urging financial institutions to work
prudently with borrowers who are or may be unable to meet their contractual payment obligations because of the effects of COVID-19. Loan forbearances and other measures have been and will continue to be taken to assist affected customers and
businesses, which may have an adverse impact on results of operations and financial condition. VABK's and FBSS's loans to particular businesses, such as restaurants, hotels and contractors, as well as to people working in those industries, may be
particularly subject to adverse developments. Disruptions to customers could result in increased delinquencies, defaults, foreclosures and losses on loans, negatively impact regional economic conditions, result in declines in local loan demand,
liquidity of loan guarantors, loan collateral (particularly in real estate), loan originations and deposit availability. The spread of the coronavirus has also caused VABK and FBSS to modify their business practices (including employee travel,
employee work locations, and cancellation of physical participation in meetings, events and conferences), and VABK and FBSS may take further actions as may be required by government authorities or that they determine are in the best interests of
their employees, customers and business partners. There is no certainty that such measures will be sufficient to mitigate the risks posed by the virus or otherwise be satisfactory to government authorities. The extent to which the coronavirus
outbreak impacts VABK's and FBSS's business, results of operations and financial condition will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted, including, but not limited to, the duration and spread of the
outbreak, its severity, the actions to contain the virus or treat its impact, and how quickly and to what extent normal economic and operating conditions can resume. Even after the coronavirus outbreak has subsided, VABK and FBSS may continue to
experience materially adverse impacts to their businesses as a result of its economic impact, including any recession that has occurred or may occur in the future. There are no comparable recent events which may provide guidance as to the effect of
the spread of the coronavirus and a global pandemic, and, as a result, the ultimate impact of the coronavirus outbreak or a similar health epidemic is highly uncertain and subject to change. The full extent of the impact on VABK's and FBSS's
businesses, operations or the economy as a whole is not yet known. However, the effects could have a material impact on results of operations, and VABK and FBSS will continue to monitor the coronavirus situation closely.
Legal Disclaimer Cautionary Note
Regarding Forward-Looking Statements This presentation contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements about
(i) the benefits of a merger between VABK and FBSS, including future financial and operating results, cost savings, enhancements to revenue and accretion to reported earnings that may be realized from the merger; (ii) VABK’s and FBSS’s
plans, objectives, expectations and intentions and other statements contained in this presentation that are not historical facts; and (iii) other statements identified by words such as “may”, “assumes”,
“approximately”, “will”, “expects”, “anticipates”, “intends”, “plans”, “believes”, “seeks”, “estimates”, “targets”,
“projects”, or words of similar meaning generally intended to identify forward-looking statements. These forward- looking statements are based upon the current beliefs and expectations of the respective management of VABK and FBSS and
are inherently subject to significant business, economic and competitive uncertainties and contingencies, many of which are beyond the control of VABK and FBSS. In addition, these forward-looking statements are subject to various risks,
uncertainties and assumptions with respect to future business strategies and decisions that are subject to change and difficult to predict with regard to timing, extent, likelihood and degree of occurrence. As a result, actual results may differ
materially from the anticipated results discussed in these forward-looking statements because of possible uncertainties. 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: (1) the businesses of VABK and FBSS may not be combined successfully, or such combination may take longer, be more difficult, time-consuming or costly to accomplish than expected; (2) the
expected growth opportunities or cost savings from the merger may not be fully realized or may take longer to realize than expected; (3) deposit attrition, operating costs, customer losses and business disruption following the merger, including
adverse effects on relationships with employees and customers, may be greater than expected; (4) the regulatory approvals required for the merger may not be obtained on the proposed terms or on the anticipated schedule; (5) the shareholders of VABK
or FBSS may fail to approve the merger; (6) economic, legislative or regulatory changes, including changes in accounting standards, may adversely affect the businesses in which VABK and FBSS are engaged; (7) the interest rate environment may further
compress margins and adversely affect net interest income; (8) results may be adversely affected by continued diversification of assets and adverse changes to credit quality; (9) competition from other financial services companies in VABK’s
and FBSS’s markets could adversely affect operations; (10) an economic slowdown could adversely affect credit quality and loan originations; (11) the COVID-19 pandemic is adversely affecting VABK, FBSS, and their respective customers,
employees and third-party service providers; the adverse impacts of the pandemic on their respective business, financial position, operations and prospects have been material, and it is not possible to accurately predict the extent, severity or
duration of the pandemic or when normal economic and operation conditions will return; and (12) other factors that may affect future results of VABK and FBSS, including: changes in asset quality and credit risk; the inability to sustain revenue and
earnings growth; changes in interest rates and capital markets; inflation; customer borrowing, repayment, investment and deposit practices; the impact, extent and timing of technological changes; capital management activities; and other actions of
the bank regulatory agencies and legislative and regulatory actions and reforms. Additional factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed in the forward-looking statements are discussed in VABK’s and
FBSS’s reports (such as Annual Reports on Form 10-K, Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and Current Reports on Form 8-K) filed with the SEC and available on the SEC’s Internet site (http://www.sec.gov). Risks Related to the SBA PPP Loan
Program VABK and FBSS are participating lenders in the Paycheck Protection Program (“PPP”), a loan program administered through the Small Business Administration (“SBA”), which was created to help eligible businesses,
organizations and self-employed persons fund their operational costs during the COVID-19 pandemic. Under this program, the SBA guarantees 100% of the amounts loaned under the PPP. VABK and FBSS may be exposed to credit risk on PPP loans if a
determination is made by the SBA that there is a deficiency in the manner in which the loan was originated, funded, or serviced. If a deficiency is identified, the SBA may deny its liability under the guaranty, reduce the amount of the guaranty, or,
if it has already paid under the guaranty, seek recovery of any loss related to the deficiency. Financial institutions have experienced litigation related to their process and procedures used in processing applications for the PPP. If VABK or FBSS
were to be subject to any such litigation, such litigation could have a material adverse impact on the companies' businesses, financial conditions and results of operations. VABK and FBSS caution that the foregoing list of factors is not exclusive.
All subsequent written and oral forward-looking statements concerning the proposed transaction or other matters attributable to VABK or FBSS or any person acting on their behalf are expressly qualified in their entirety by the cautionary statements
above. VABK and FBSS do not undertake any obligation to update any forward-looking statement to reflect circumstances or events that occur after the date the forward-looking statements are made.

Exhibit 99.2
Virginia National Bankshares Corporation and Fauquier Bankshares, Inc.
Announce Strategic Merger of Equals
CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. and WARRENTON, Va., October 1, 2020/Globe Newswire/ Virginia National Bankshares Corporation (OTCQX: VABK) (Virginia
National) and Fauquier Bankshares, Inc. (NASDAQ: FBSS) (Fauquier) today jointly announced the signing of a definitive agreement to combine in a strategic merger of equals. The combined company would have approximately
$1.6 billion in total assets, $1.4 billion in total deposits, $1.3 billion in loans and more than $1.0 billion in assets under management based upon reported amounts as of June 30, 2020.
This strategic combination of like-minded community banks will create a premier Virginia financial institution with greater scale, operating leverage and
complementary business lines. After the merger, the combined company will operate under the Virginia National brand and will be able to serve larger clients in its core Virginia markets of Charlottesville, Warrenton, Winchester and the counties of
Albemarle, Fauquier, Frederick and Prince William. It will also accelerate current market expansions in Richmond and Northern Virginia.
It is a
rare opportunity to have two well-respected community banks of equal size in attractive markets put their individual missions aside to join forces in order to improve the experience of clients and employees and accelerate the returns of their
shareholders, said Glenn W. Rust, President and Chief Executive Officer of Virginia National. Our entire team is honored to be entering this partnership with The Fauquier Bank, and I look forward to the leadership of The Fauquier Bank

There is a long-standing mutual respect between our two
companies, said Marc J. Bogan, President and Chief Executive Officer of The Fauquier Bank. The enhanced scale and complementary business lines resulting from this transaction provides the best opportunity for both banks to better serve

The merger agreement was unanimously approved by the boards of directors of both companies and has unanimous support from all directors. Under the terms of

Following the merger, the boards of
directors of Virginia National and VNB will include seven members from the current Virginia National and VNB boards and six members from the current Fauquier and The Fauquier Bank boards. Current Virginia National Chairman, William D. Dittmar, Jr.,
will continue to serve as Chairman of the combined company and current Fauquier Chairman, John B. Adams, Jr., will be appointed Vice Chairman. At the effective time of the merger, Mr. Rust will continue to serve as President and Chief Executive
