<p style="margin: 0pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 36pt; font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;, Times, serif; font-size: 10pt;">On <font style="font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;, Times, serif; font-size: 10pt;">May 24, 2013, National Bankshares, Inc. subsidiary, The National Bank of Blacksburg (the &ldquo;Bank&rdquo;), entered into a Salary Continuation Agreement with Paul M. Mylum, Senior Vice President, Chief Lending Officer to the Bank. Mr. Mylum is part of a select group of Company or subsidiary executives who receive similar benefits under a salary continuation plan that is funded by an investment in Company or subsidiary owned life insurance policies on the lives of the executives. The executives and their beneficiaries are unsecured creditors of the Company and subsidiaries with respect to the benefits under the salary continuation plans.</font></p>

If the executive dies before receiving annual benefit for 15 years, the benefit is paid to the executive&rsquo;s beneficiary for the remainder of that period. A reduced benefit is payable upon the executive&rsquo;s early termination, disability or upon a change in control of the executive&rsquo;s employer. &ldquo;Early termination&rdquo;, &ldquo;disability&rdquo; and &ldquo;change in control&rdquo; are each defined in the Salary Continuation Agreement. A death benefit that is equal in amount to the retirement benefit is paid to the executive&rsquo;s beneficiary for 15 years in the event of the executive&rsquo;s death while an active employee. No benefit is payable if the executive is terminated for cause, as that term is defined in the agreement.</font></p>

DEPARTURE OF DIRECTORS OR CERTAIN OFFICERS; ELECTION OF DIRECTORS; APPOINTMENT OF CERTAIN OFFICERS; COMPENSATORY ARRANGEMENTS OF CERTAIN OFFICERS.
On
May 24, 2013, National Bankshares, Inc. subsidiary, The National Bank of Blacksburg (the "Bank"), entered into a Salary Continuation Agreement with Paul M. Mylum, Senior Vice President, Chief Lending Officer to the Bank. Mr. Mylum is part of a select group of Company or subsidiary executives who receive similar benefits under a salary continuation plan that is funded by an investment in Company or subsidiary owned life insurance policies on the lives of the executives. The executives and their beneficiaries are unsecured creditors of the Company and subsidiaries with respect to the benefits under the salary continuation plans.
T
he Salary Continuation Agreement provides an annual benefit for the executive officer at normal retirement age (age 65), that is payable for the greater of 15 years or the executive's lifetime. If the executive dies before receiving annual benefit for 15 years, the benefit is paid to the executive's beneficiary for the remainder of that period. A reduced benefit is payable upon the executive's early termination, disability or upon a change in control of the executive's employer. "Early termination", "disability" and "change in control" are each defined in the Salary Continuation Agreement. A death benefit that is equal in amount to the retirement benefit is paid to the executive's beneficiary for 15 years in the event of the executive's death while an active employee. No benefit is payable if the executive is terminated for cause, as that term is defined in the agreement.
The Salary Continuation A
greement with Mr. Mylum provides that he will receive annual payments of $48,772.00 beginning at normal retirement in 2031. At the time Mr. Mylum and the Bank entered into the original agreement, Mr. Mylum was not a reportable officer of the Company for SEC reporting purposes.
The preceding description of the Salary Continuation Agreement is a summary of its material terms, does not purport to be complete, and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the
Salary Continuation Agreement, a copy of which is being filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated by reference herein.
