ANNUAL MEETING OF SHAREHOLDERS

 

Dear Shareholder:

 

You should have recently received in the mail proxy materials that relate to the 2003 Annual Meeting of Shareholders of New Peoples Bankshares, Inc. to be held on Thursday, October 16, 2003 at 6:00 p.m. At the Annual Meeting, you will be asked to elect five directors to the company’s Board of Directors. The proxy materials are dated September 15, 2003.

 

We would like to bring a few corrections to your attention. The proxy materials inadvertently disclose, in the table on page 4 of the Proxy Statement, an incorrect number for the shares of Common Stock that one of our directors, Stephen H. Starnes, beneficially owns. The correct number for Mr. Starnes is 24,930. As a result, the correct number of shares that “all present executive officers and directors as a group” beneficially own, as disclosed at the end of the table on page 5, is 730,033, which represents an updated percentage of 10.5%.

 

If you have already returned your proxy card for the Annual Meeting and do not want to change your vote, you do not have to do anything, and your proxy will be voted at the Annual Meeting in accordance with your instructions. If you want to change your vote, please follow the instructions for revoking your proxy in the second paragraph of page 1 of the Proxy Statement. You may also contact Frank Sexton at (276) 873-6288 for assistance.

 

We hope that you will participate in the Annual Meeting, either in person or by proxy.

 

Sincerely,

/S/    KENNETH D. HART

Kenneth D. Hart

President and Chief Executive Officer
