Ravi Nagarajan submits:

Middleburg Financial Corporation (MBRG) is a small bank holding company with primary operations in the western suburbs of Washington D.C. The bank’s headquarters are in Middleburg, Virginia. Over the past two years, David Sokol has accumulated nearly twenty percent of the bank’s outstanding shares in his personal accounts. Mr. Sokol is Chairman of MidAmerican Energy Holdings (MDPWK.PK) and Chairman and CEO of NetJets, both of which are subsidiaries of Berkshire Hathaway (BRK.A).
