SUBSCRIPTION RIGHTS TO PURCHASE SHARES OF COMMON STOCK OFFERED
PURSUANT TO SUBSCRIPTION RIGHTS DISTRIBUTED TO SHAREHOLDERS
OF HIGHLANDS BANKSHARES, INC.
[ ], 2014
To Our Clients:
Enclosed for your consideration are a prospectus, dated [ ], 2014 (the “Prospectus”), and the “Beneficial Owner Election Form” relating to the offering (the “Rights Offering”) by Highlands Bankshares, Inc. (the “Company”) of Shares (as defined below) pursuant to nontransferable subscription rights (the “Rights”) distributed to all holders of record of shares (the “Shares”) of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.625 per share (the “Common Stock”), at 5:00 p.m., Eastern Time, on April 15, 2014 (the “Record Date”). The Rights and Shares are described in the Prospectus.
In the Rights Offering, the Company is offering an aggregate of 1,064,652 shares of common stock, as described in the Prospectus.
The Rights will expire, if not exercised prior to 5:00 p.m., Eastern Time, on [ ], 2014 unless extended (as it may be extended, the “Expiration Time”).
As described in the accompanying Prospectus, each beneficial owner of shares of Common Stock registered in your name or the name of your nominee is entitled to one Right for each four shares of Common Stock owned by such beneficial owner at 5:00 p.m., Eastern time, on the Record Date. Each Right will allow the holder thereof to subscribe for up to one share (the “Basic Subscription Right”) at the cash price of $3.50 per Share (the “Subscription Price”). For example, if a Recordholder owned 100 shares of Common Stock as of 5:00 p.m., Eastern time, on the Record Date, it would receive 25 Rights and would have the right to purchase 25 shares for the Subscription Price.
In the event that you purchase all of the Shares available to you pursuant to your Basic Subscription Right, you may also exercise an over-subscription privilege (the “Over-Subscription Privilege”) to purchase Shares that are not purchased by our shareholders through the exercise of their Basic Subscription Rights (the “Unsubscribed Shares”), subject to certain limitations, availability and the allocation process more fully described in the Prospectus. If over-subscription requests exceed the number of Shares available, we will allocate the available shares pro rata among the shareholders exercising the Over-Subscription Privilege in proportion to the number of shares requested by such shareholders and the number of Unsubscribed Shares.
You will be required to submit payment in full for all the Shares you wish to buy with your Over-Subscription Privilege. Because we will not know the total number of Unsubscribed Shares prior to the Expiration Time, if you wish to maximize the number of Shares you purchase pursuant to your Over-Subscription Privilege, you will need to deliver payment in an amount equal to the aggregate Subscription Price for the maximum number of Shares available to you, assuming that no shareholders other than you has purchased any shares of Common Stock pursuant to the Basic Subscription Right. The Company will eliminate fractional shares of Common Stock resulting from the exercise of the Over-Subscription Privilege by rounding down to the nearest whole share, with the total subscription payment being adjusted accordingly. Any excess subscription payments received by the subscription agent will be returned, without interest or penalty, as soon as practicable.
The Company can provide no assurances that you will actually be entitled to purchase the number of Shares issuable upon the exercise of your Over-Subscription Privilege in full at the expiration of the Rights Offering. The
Company will not be able to satisfy your exercise of the Over-Subscription Privilege if all of our shareholders exercise their Basic Subscription Rights in full, and we will only honor an Over-Subscription Privilege to the extent sufficient Shares are available following the exercise of subscription rights under the Basic Subscription Rights.

To the extent the aggregate Subscription Price of the maximum number of Unsubscribed Shares available to you pursuant to the Over-Subscription Privilege is less than the amount you actually paid in connection with the exercise of the Over-Subscription Privilege, you will be allocated only the number of Unsubscribed Shares available to you as soon as practicable after the Expiration Time, and your excess subscription payment received by the subscription agent will be returned, without interest or penalty, as soon as practicable.

To the extent the amount you actually paid in connection with the exercise of the Over-Subscription Privilege is less than the aggregate Subscription Price of the maximum number of Unsubscribed Shares available to you pursuant to the Over-Subscription Privilege, you will be allocated the number of Unsubscribed Shares for which you actually paid in connection with the Over-Subscription Privilege. See “The Rights Offering—The Subscription Rights—Over-Subscription Privilege.”
