Charlotte, N.C., April 25 - BOE Financial Services of Virginia, Inc. adjourned its special meeting of stockholders on Friday on news that Community Bankers Acquisition Corp. would adjourn both its annual meeting and its special meeting of stockholders, also scheduled for Friday.

BOE Financial said its special meeting will reconvene at 10 a.m. ET on May 21. The record date for the meeting remains the close of business on March 25.

Community Bankers adjourned its meeting in order to provide its stockholders additional time to consider and vote on the company's proposed merger with TransCommunity Financial Corp. and the proposed merger with BOE Financial.

The resulting holding company will be named Community Bankers Trust Corp. and will be based in Glen Allen, Va., and led by Community Bankers president and chief executive officer Gary A. Simanson.
