Item 5.02 Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.

On July 15, 2020, MainStreet Bancshares, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into a new employment agreement (the “Agreement”) with the Company’s President, Charles C. Brockett, pursuant to which Mr. Brockett will continue to serve as the Company’s President.  The term of the Agreement commences on July 15, 2020 and runs through December 31, 2021, unless sooner terminated or extended under the terms of the Agreement. Mr. Brockett’s prior employment agreement with MainStreet Bank was replaced and superseded by the new Agreement. A copy of the Agreement is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this report and incorporated herein by reference. Mr. Brockett’s duties and responsibilities are outlined in Exhibit A to the Agreement.

As compensation while employed under the Agreement, Mr. Brockett will receive an initial annual base salary of $160,004.00. Mr. Brockett continues to be eligible to receive bonus and equity awards commensurate with his role as an officer of the Company and as determined by the Compensation Committee and the Board of Directors. During the term of his employment, Mr. Brockett will be entitled to participate in the Company’s health and disability plans and group term insurance policy.

The Agreement provides for customary non-competition, non-solicitation and employee no-hire covenants that apply during the term of Mr. Brockett’s employment and for a period of twelve months thereafter and a perpetual confidentiality covenant.

In addition, the Agreement provides that, if during the one year period following a Change of Control. (as defined in the Agreement) Mr. Brockett’s employment is terminated either by the Company without cause or by Mr. Brockett for good reason, Mr. Brockett will be entitled to receive a severance payment equal to 200% of his than current annual base salary.  In the event of termination of employment by the Company without cause or by Mr. Brockett for good reason, absent a change in control transaction, Mr. Brockett would be eligible to receive severance pay equal to his base salary for the remaining term of the Agreement, but for a period of not less than six months.

Effective as of July 15, 2020, Mr. Brockett resigned as a member of the Board of Directors of MainStreet Bank (the “Bank”) and as President of the Bank. Mr. Brockett will continue to serve as a member of the Board of Directors of the Company with a term expiring in 2021.

Also effective as of July 15, 2020, the Board of Directors of the Bank appointed Abdul Hersiburane to serve as President and a director of the Bank. Mr. Hersiburane was elected as a director to fill the vacancy resulting from Mr. Brockett’s resignation.

Mr. Brockett’s new Agreement and resignation and Mr. Hersiburane’s election as President and a director of the Bank were announced by the Company in a press release dated July 20, 2020, filed as Exhibit 99.1 to this report and incorporated herein by reference.
