FAIRMONT, W.Va.  — MVB Financial Corp. (“MVB Financial” or “MVB”), the holding company of MVB Bank, today announced it has received approval to list its common stock for trading on The Nasdaq Capital Market ®.

Shares of MVB Financial will start trading on Nasdaq under the symbol “MVBF,” effective with the opening of the market on Thursday. Until then, MVB will continue to trade on the OTC Bulletin Board as “MVBF.”

“Being listed on The Nasdaq marks a major milestone for MVB on our growth journey, reflecting more than a decade of dedication and teamwork. MVB intends to qualify for inclusion in the Russell 2000 Index as part of the index’s next annual reconstitution, which occurs in 2018,” said Larry F. Mazza, CEO and President, MVB Financial Corp. “Additional visibility generated from MVB’s listing on The Nasdaq will allow even more investors to recognize our strong growth story and value our community bank model, as well as provide greater liquidity.”

MVB is the first West Virginia company in 10 years, and the first West Virginia bank in 18 years, to be listed on The Nasdaq.

“At MVB, we are excited to celebrate this historic moment with our shareholders, friends and families, and look forward to ringing the bell in New York City this spring,” Mazza said.

MVB Financial’s move to The Nasdaq gains higher visibility in the investment community, greater access to capital markets and improvements in stock liquidity. Being well-positioned for continued growth, MVB seeks to attract a more diverse base of stockholders, especially institutional investors.

After the formation of MVB Bank in 1999, MVB Financial Corp. formed in 2004 as a bank holding company and in 2012 elected to become a financial holding company. MVB Financial includes multiple subsidiaries and affiliated businesses, including MVB Bank, Inc., and MVB Mortgage. The Company’s principal executive offices are located in Fairmont, W.Va.
