CORRESP 1 filename1.htm Document June 12, 2025 Securities and Exchange Commission Division of Corporation Finance Washington, DC 20549 Attention: Lory Empie and John Nolan Re: MVB Financial Corp. Form 10-K for the Fiscal Year Ended December 31, 2024 File No. 001-38314 Dear Ms. Empie and Mr. Nolan: On behalf of MVB Financial Corp. (the “ Company ”), please find our response to the comment set forth in the letter to the Company from the staff (the “ Staff ”) of the Securities and Exchange Commission dated June 3, 2025. For your convenience, we have reproduced the Staff’s comment below in italics, followed by the Company’s response. Form 10-K filed March 13, 2025 Funding Sources, page 47 1. We note your disclosure that gaming deposits totaled $227.6 million and $354.1 million at December 31, 2024 and 2023. Please revise your future filings to quantify all Fintech deposits. Additionally, provide a greater understanding of the nature of these gaming deposits and how they arise in your operations. For instance, describe the activities and factors causing an increase or decrease in your gaming deposits from period to period and whether they relate to digital gaming accounts, online sportsbooks or some other point-of-service. Company Response: We acknowledge the Staff’s comment and will revise our future filings consistent with the requested disclosures. Specifically, in addition to quantifying our broader Fintech deposits, we will provide a more detailed explanation of the activities and factors causing changes in our gaming deposits, including whether they relate to digital gaming accounts, online sportsbooks, or other points of service. Set forth below is a sample revision of the original disclosure that we provided under Funding Sources at page 47 of our Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024 that we believe incorporates your feedback and would be included in future filings, updated as appropriate for then current period results (the text in bold and underline represents the proposed revisions): The Bank considers a number of alternatives, including but not limited to deposits, short-term borrowings and long-term borrowings, when evaluating funding sources. Deposits continue to be the most significant source of funds, totaling $2.69 billion, or 97.2% of funding sources, at December 31, 2024, versus $2.90 billion, or 97.1% of such funding sources, at December 31, 2023. Of these amounts, Fintech deposits totaled $964.1 million and $1.25 billion at December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The decrease in Fintech deposits is primarily attributable to decreases in gaming deposits to $227.6 million at December 31, 2024 from $354.1 million at December 31, 2023 and in digital asset deposits to $22.6 million at December 31, 2024 from $188.4 million at December 31, 2023. Gaming deposits generally represent online sportsbook accounts, and the decrease from the prior year is primarily due to a $166.2 million decrease in our largest online sportsbook client resulting from on-balance sheet deposit management. Borrowings, consisting of subordinated debt, senior term loan and other borrowings represented 2.7% of funding sources at December 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023. Repurchase agreements, which are available to large corporate customers, represented 0.1% and 0.2% of funding sources at December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. * * * ** Do not hesitate to contact me at (304) 594-3516 should you have any further questions regarding this response.

Re:
MVB Financial Corp.
Schedule TO-1 filed November 17, 2020
File No. 005-89723
Dear Valian A. Afshar:
On behalf of MVB Financial Corp., a
West Virginia corporation (“MVB” or the “Company”), we are responding to the comments of the staff
(the “Staff”) of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) set forth in your letter
dated November 19, 2020 with respect to the above-referenced Schedule TO-I, filed by MVB on November 17, 2020 (the
“Schedule TO”), in connection with the proposed offer by MVB to purchase for cash up to an aggregate purchase
price of $45,000,000 of shares of its common stock, par value $1.00 per share (the “Shares”), at a per Share
price not greater than $20.25 and not less than $18.00, upon the terms and subject to the conditions described in the Offer
to Purchase dated November 17, 2020 (as supplemented or amended, the “Offer to Purchase”), which is filed as
Exhibit (a)(1)(A) to the Schedule TO.
In connection with this response, MVB is
today also filing with the Commission Amendment No. 1 to Schedule TO (the “Schedule TO Amendment”) which reflects
the responses set forth below, as appropriate.
To facilitate the Staff’s review,
this letter includes each of the Staff’s comments in italics followed by a response to the questions raised. Capitalized
terms used in the Offer to Purchase and used in the following responses without definition have the meanings specified in the
Offer to Purchase.
Schedule TO-1
Exhibit (a)(1)(A) – Offer to Purchase
General
Securities and Exchange Commission
November 30, 2020
Page 2
Squire Patton Boggs (US) LLP
1. Statements throughout the Offer to Purchase
indicate that your directors and executive officers are not permitted to participate
in the Offer. In the appropriate section of the Offer to Purchase, please clarify the
source of and/or basis for this prohibition.
Response: The Company acknowledges
the Staff’s comment and has included revised disclosure in the Schedule TO Amendment to delete such statements from the
Offer to Purchase and further clarified that the Company’s directors and executive officers have informed the Company that
they do not intended to participate in the tender offer.
2. We note the following statement under the header
“Summary of Procedures for Tendering your Shares”: “WE ARE NOT MAKING
THE OFFER TO, AND WILL NOT ACCEPT ANY TENDERED SHARES FROM, SHAREHOLDERS IN ANY JURISDICTION
WHERE IT WOULD BE ILLEGAL TO DO SO…..” While offer materials need not be
disseminated into jurisdictions where such a distribution would be impermissible, please
remove the implication that tendered shares will not be accepted from all shareholders
(notwithstanding the subsequent statement that you will comply with the requirements
of Rule 13e-4(f)(8)). See Rule 13e-4(f)(8)(i) and guidance in Section II.G.1
of Exchange Act Release No. 58597 (September 19, 2008). Please also make any
conforming changes to similar statements in Exhibits (a)(1)(B), (D), (E) and in
(F).
Response: The Company acknowledges
the Staff’s comment and has removed such statements from the Offer to Purchase as well as in the referenced exhibits as
reflected in the Schedule TO Amendment.
Procedures for Tendering Shares, page 20
3. We note your statement that “[t]o tender Shares
properly, one and only one box must be checked in the section captioned ‘Price
(in Dollars) Per Share at Which Shares Are Being Tendered’ in the Letter of Transmittal.”
Please further disclose (consistent with the instructions to the Letter of Transmittal)
that if more than one box is checked or if no box is checked, there is no valid tender
of Shares.
Response: The Company acknowledges
the Staff’s comment and has modified the Offer to Purchase as reflected in the Schedule TO Amendment to include the additional
requested disclosure.
Conditions of the Offer, page 27
4. We note that the Offer is not completely financed
and is subject to the Financing Condition. Generally, when an offer is not financed,
or when a bidder’s ability to obtain financing is uncertain, a material change
will occur in the information previously disclosed when the offer becomes fully financed.
Under Rule 13e-4(c)(3), a bidder is required to promptly file an amendment to its
Schedule TO disclosing this material change. Please confirm that you will disseminate
the disclosure of this change in a manner reasonably calculated to inform shareholders
as required by Rule 13e-4 (e)(3). In addition, please confirm that five business
days will remain in the Offer following disclosure of the change or that the Offer will
be extended so that at least five business days remain in the offer. Refer to Release
No. 34-23421 (July 11, 1986), at footnote 70, and Release No. 34-24296
(April 3, 1987).
Securities and Exchange Commission
November 30, 2020

Squire Patton Boggs (US) LLP
Response: The Company acknowledges
the Staff’s comment and advises the Staff that the Financing Condition was satisfied on November 30, 2020. On November 30,
2020, the Company announced in a Current Report on Form 8-K and by press release that as of that date the Company had issued
$40.0 million in aggregate principal amount of its 4.25% Fixed-to-Floating Rate Subordinated Notes due 2030 to certain qualified
institutional buyers. The Schedule TO Amendment discloses the completion of the Notes Offering and satisfaction of the Financing
Condition, and includes additional disclosure relating to the terms of the Notes Offering. The Company confirms that its disclosures
on November 30, 2020 were disseminated in a manner reasonably calculated to inform security holders of such change. Further
the Company confirms that the offer will remain open for at least five business days following its November 30 disclosure,
with the expiration date of the tender offer occurring on December 18, 2020, fourteen business days following the disclosure
of this change.
5. With a view towards disclosure, please clarify
what would constitute an “internal interpretation” as used in the first bullet
on page 28.
Response: The Company acknowledges
the Staff’s comment and has modified the Offer to Purchase in the Schedule TO Amendment to delete all references to “formal
or internal interpretation” and replacing such references with “official interpretation.”
6. You have included a condition that will be
triggered by, among other things, “any commencement of a war, armed hostilities
or other national or international calamity, including, but not limited to, an act of
terrorism . . . directly or indirectly involving the United States” without any
materiality qualifier on the gravity of such an event and without limiting the event
to one directly involving the United States. Therefore, if any event anywhere in the
world “triggers” this condition while the Offer is pending, you must promptly
amend the Offer materials to advise shareholders whether you will waive the condition,
or assert it and terminate the Offer. Depending on the timing of this event and your
revised disclosure, you may also be required to extend the Offer. Please confirm your
understanding in your response letter. Alternatively, please amend the condition to more
narrowly tailor it.
Response: The Company acknowledges
the Staff’s comment and has modified the Offer to Purchase in the Schedule TO Amendment to more narrowly tailor the referenced
condition.

7. Please disclose any material conditions to
the Notes Offering as well as whether any alternative financing arrangements or alternative
financing plans exist in the event the Notes Offering falls through. See Item 1007(b) of
Regulation M-A.
Response: The Company acknowledges
the Staff’s comment and as described in response to Comment 4 above, notes that on November 30, 2020, the Financing
Condition was satisfied and has further modified the Offer to Purchase in the Schedule TO Amendment to reflect the satisfaction
of the Financing Condition.
8. Please provide the information required by
Item 1007(d) of Regulation M-A with respect to the Notes Offering.
Response: The Company acknowledges
the Staff’s comment and has included additional information as required by 1007(d) of Regulation M-A with respect to
the Notes Offering in the Schedule TO Amendment.

Price of MVB Financial Corp (“the Company” or “MVB”). For your convenience, we have included the Staff’s comments below followed by our related response. Form 10-K filed for the period ended December 31, 2013 Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations Summary Financial Results, page 19 1. Please revise, in future filings, to include a discussion of the segment operation results as identified in Note 21 to the audited financial statements, for each of the periods presented. Refer to Item 303(a)(3) of Regulation S-K. In addition, please tell us the reasons for the low level of income tax expenses recognized within the Commercial and Retail Banking segments during 2013 Company response: Future filings will include a discussion of operating results for our reportable segments in Management’s Discussion & Analysis. The Commercial and Retail Banking segment tax expense is low because it had pre-tax earnings of $2,258,000 but tax-exempt interest on investments and loans of $2,240,000. The Commercial and Retail Banking segment is the only segment with tax-exempt income. Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements Note 3. Loans and Allowance for Loan Losses, page 51 2. We note the disclosure that the company purchased, in late 2013, $74.3 million in commercial loans in the Northern Virginia area. Please tell us, and revise in future filings, to address the nature of the loans acquired, identifying whether they were performing or purchased credit impaired loans or a combination of both as well as whether these loans were acquired at a discount or a premium and the associated accounting. Company response: Future filings will address the nature of the loans acquired and identify whether they were performing or purchased credit impaired loans or a combination of both consistent with our response below. During December 2013 the Bank purchased $74.3 million in performing commercial real estate secured loans in the Northern Virginia area. At the time of acquisition, none of these loans were considered impaired. They were acquired at a premium of roughly 1.024 or $1.8 million, which is being amortized in accordance with ASC 310-20. These loans are collectively evaluated for impairment under ASC 450. Loans are monitored individually for payoff activity, and any necessary adjustments to the premium will be made accordingly.
