Mr. Wright purchased, in the initial public offering of Surrey Bank & Trust (wholly owned subsidiary of Surrey Bancorp), 5,000 shares of Common Stock for an aggregate price of $55,000, with $55,000 in personal funds. On that same date, Betty Wright, spouse of Mr. Wright, purchased 1,000 shares of Common Stock for an aggregate price of $11,000 in personal funds. Additionally, 1,000 shares of Common Stock were purchased by Blue Ridge Investors Trust for an aggregate price of $11,000. Mr. Wright is a partner in Blue Ridge Investors Trust.
