SUMMARY

The following summary description of our Direct Stock Purchase and Dividend Reinvestment Plan is qualified by reference to the full text of the Plan which appears in this prospectus. Capitalized terms have the meanings given to them in the Plan as described beginning on page 7 and in the glossary beginning on page 26.

Purpose of the Plan		The purpose of the Plan is to provide our existing shareholders and interested new investors with a convenient and less costly method of purchasing shares of our common stock and investing all or specified amount of any cash dividends they receive on our common stock or Series A Preferred in additional shares of our common stock. The Plan can also provide us with a means of raising additional capital through the direct sale of our common stock.

Source of Purchase of Shares		Shares of common stock purchased through the Plan will be supplied either directly from us as newly issued shares or via purchases by us of common stock on the open market or through privately negotiated transactions, or by a combination of such purchases, at our option.

Investment Options		You may choose from the following options:

		Full Dividend Reinvestment : The Plan Administrator will apply all cash dividends relating to all shares of common stock or Series A Preferred, as applicable, registered in your name in stock certificate form and/or credited to your account toward the purchase of additional shares of common stock.

		Partial Dividend Reinvestment : The Plan Administrator will apply the cash dividends on all shares of common stock or Series A Preferred, as applicable, registered in your name in stock certificate form and/or credited to your account toward the purchase of additional shares of common stock, other than the number of whole shares that you specify are to receive cash dividends.

		No Dividend Reinvestment: You will continue to receive cash dividends on shares of common stock or Series A Preferred, as applicable, registered in your name in the usual manner. You may make Optional Cash Payments to invest in additional shares of our common stock, subject to monthly minimums and maximums.

		You may change your investment options at any time by requesting a new enrollment form from the Plan Administrator and returning it to the Plan Administrator. Dividends paid on all common shares acquired under and held in the Plan will be automatically reinvested in additional shares of our common stock, unless otherwise requested.

Withdrawal		You may withdraw from the Plan with respect to all or a portion of the shares held in your Plan account at any time by notifying the Plan Administrator in writing.

Optional Cash Payments		Each Optional Cash Payment is subject to a minimum per month purchase of $250 and a maximum per month purchase limit of $10,000. Optional Cash Payments in excess of $10,000 require our prior approval.

Investment Date		With respect to dividend reinvestment:

		The Investment Date will be (i) if shares are acquired directly from us, the dividend payment date authorized by our board of directors, or (ii) in the case of open market purchases, the date or dates of actual investment, but no later than 10 business days following the dividend payment date.

		The Plan does not represent a change in our dividend policy, which will continue to depend on earnings, financial requirements and other factors. Under the provisions of our Articles of Incorporation, no dividends may be paid on our common stock unless dividends have been declared and paid with respect to our Series A Preferred for that dividend period. Non-cumulative cash dividends will be payable on our Series A Preferred if, as and when declared by our board of directors, quarterly in arrears on each March 15, June 15, September 15 and December 15, commencing December 15, 2008.

		With respect to Optional Cash Payments:

		The Investment Date is generally on or about the 15th day of each month or, in the case of open market purchases, such day or days between the 15th and the next 10 business days thereafter, as market conditions permit. However, the Company may establish other Investment Dates as provided in the Plan.

Market Price		Whether the shares are acquired directly from us or on the open market, they will be purchased for the Plan at the Market Price. The Market Price, in the case of shares purchased directly from us, will be the average of the daily high and low sales prices, computed to four decimal places, of our common stock on the Nasdaq or other applicable securities exchange, as reported in Bloomberg during the Pricing Period. A Pricing Period is generally a period of 10 consecutive trading days but can be set to other periods by the Company.

		In the case of shares purchased on the open market, the Market Price will be the weighted average of the actual prices paid, computed to four decimal places, for all of the common stock purchased by the Plan Administrator with all Participants’ reinvested dividends and Optional Cash Payments for the related month.

Expenses		With respect to shares of common stock purchased directly from us from reinvested dividends or Optional Cash Payments, we will pay expenses incurred in connection with such purchases. With respect to shares of common stock purchased in the open market, we will also pay customary brokerage commissions. We will pay all other costs of administering the Plan. However, if you request that the Plan Administrator sell all or any portion of your shares, you must pay a nominal fee per transaction to the Plan Administrator, any related brokerage commissions, and applicable stock transfer taxes.

No Interest Pending Investment		No interest will be paid on cash dividends or Optional Cash Payments pending investment or reinvestment under the terms of the Plan.

Amount Offered

This prospectus is part of a registration statement under which we have registered 500,000 shares of common stock authorized to be issued under the Plan. Because we expect to continue the Plan indefinitely, we expect to authorize for issuance and register under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, which we refer to as the Securities Act, additional shares from time to time as necessary for purposes of the Plan and may otherwise amend the Plan.

RISK FACTORS

Investment in our securities involves a high degree of risk. Before purchasing our securities, you should carefully consider the risks described under the heading “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in Part I of our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K and any risk factors described under the heading “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in Part II of any of our Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q filed with the Commission subsequent to our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K, as well as any amendments thereto reflected in subsequent filings with the Commission. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial may also materially and adversely affect our business operations.

In connection with the forward-looking statements that appear in this prospectus, you should carefully review the risk factors referenced above and the cautionary statements referred to in “Special Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” immediately below.

SPECIAL NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This prospectus and the documents incorporated and deemed to be incorporated by reference herein may contain forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, which we refer to as the Exchange Act.

We qualify any and all of our forward-looking statements by these cautionary factors. Please keep this cautionary note in mind as you read this prospectus and the documents incorporated and deemed to be incorporated by reference herein.

USE OF PROCEEDS

We do not know either the number of shares of common stock that will be ultimately sold pursuant to the Plan or the prices at which such shares will be sold. We will receive proceeds from the purchase of shares of common stock through the Plan only to the extent that such purchases are made directly from us and not from open market purchases by the Plan Administrator. We intend to use the net proceeds from the sale of such shares of our common stock for general corporate purposes and capital enhancement.

THE PLAN

Our board of directors initially adopted the Direct Stock Purchase and Dividend Reinvestment Plan on May 12, 2008 and adopted the amendments reflected in this prospectus on October 27, 2008. The following series of questions and answers explains and constitutes the Plan in its entirety. Shareholders who do not participate in the Plan will receive cash dividends, as declared, and paid in the usual manner.

PURPOSE

1. What is the purpose of the Plan?

The primary purpose of the Plan is to provide eligible holders of shares of our common stock, Series A Preferred and interested new investors with a convenient and economical method of increasing their investment in us by investing cash dividends or Optional Cash Payments, or both, in additional shares of common stock without payment of any brokerage commission or service charge.

We may also use the Plan to raise additional capital through the sale each month of a portion of the shares available for issuance under the Plan to owners of shares and interested new investors (including brokers or dealers) who, in connection with any resales of such shares, may be deemed to be underwriters.

Under the Plan, if you purchase shares directly from us, the net proceeds of the sale of those shares will be for general corporate purposes, including funding our investment activity, enhancing our capital, repayment of indebtedness and working capital.

The Plan is intended for the benefit of our investors and not for individuals or investors who engage in transactions which may cause aberrations in the price or trading volume of shares of common stock. We reserve the right to monitor activity in all Plan accounts, and to modify, suspend, or terminate participation in the Plan by otherwise eligible holders of shares of common or Series A Preferred or interested new investors to eliminate practices which are, in our sole discretion, not consistent with the purposes or operation of the Plan or which adversely affect the price of the shares of common stock.

AVAILABLE OPTIONS

2. What options are available under the Plan?

Stock Purchase Program. Each month, you may elect to invest Optional Cash Payments in shares of common stock, subject to a minimum per month purchase of $250 and a maximum per month purchase limit of $10,000, subject to waiver. You may make Optional Cash Payments each month even if you do not reinvest dividends.

Dividend Reinvestment Program. Holders of our common stock or Series A Preferred, as applicable, who wish to participate in the Plan, whether Record Owners, Beneficial Owners, and interested new investors who make an initial investment through the Stock Purchase Program described above may elect to have all, a portion, or none of any cash dividends paid on their shares of our common stock or Series A Preferred, as applicable, automatically reinvested in additional shares of common stock through the Dividend Reinvestment Program. Cash dividends are paid on our common stock and Series A Preferred, or if and when outstanding on any other class of equity that pays dividends, when and as authorized by our board of directors and declared by us, generally on a quarterly basis. Subject to the availability of shares of common stock registered for issuance under the Plan, there is generally no limitation on the amount of dividends you may reinvest under the dividend reinvestment feature of the Plan.

BENEFITS AND DISADVANTAGES

3. What are the benefits and disadvantages of the Plan?

Benefits

(a) Whether you are an eligible shareholder or a new investor, the Plan provides you with the opportunity to make monthly investments of Optional Cash Payments, subject to minimum and maximum amounts, for the purchase of additional shares of common stock.

(b) The Plan provides you with the opportunity to automatically reinvest cash dividends paid on all or a portion of your common stock or Series A Preferred, as applicable, in additional shares of common stock.

(c) All cash dividends paid on Participants’ Plan shares enrolled in the Dividend Reinvestment Program can be fully invested in additional shares of common stock because the Plan permits fractional shares to be credited to Plan accounts. Dividends on such fractional shares, as well as on whole shares, will also be reinvested in additional shares which will be credited to Plan accounts.

(d) Shares of common stock purchased directly from us under the Plan will be issued without a sales commission.

(e) You may direct the Plan Administrator to transfer, at any time at no cost to you, all or a portion of your shares in the Plan to a Plan account for another person as long as you meet all of the transfer requirements as set forth in Question 30.

(f) The Plan offers a “share safekeeping” service that allows you to deposit your company stock certificates with the Plan Administrator at no cost and to have your ownership of common stock purchased under the Plan maintained on the Plan Administrator’s records in uncertificated form as part of your Plan account, if you so desire.

(g) You will receive statements containing year-to-date information on all Plan transactions in your account within a reasonable time after a transaction occurs, as well as on a quarterly basis, that are designed to simplify your recordkeeping. Our Plan Administer also maintains account activity online. Shareholders may sign up for a user identification number and password online which will permit them to review their account activity at any time. They are also able to download enrollment and withdrawal forms from the Plan Administrator’s website.

Disadvantages

(a) Neither we nor the Plan Administrator will pay interest on dividends or Optional Cash Payments held pending reinvestment or investment. In addition, Optional Cash Payments of less than $250 and that portion of any Optional Cash Payment which exceeds the maximum monthly purchase limit of $10,000 (unless such upper limit has been waived by us) may be subject to return to you without interest.

(b) With respect to Optional Cash Payments, the actual number of shares to be issued to your Plan account will not be determined until after the end of the relevant Pricing Period. Therefore, during the Pricing Period you will not know the actual number of shares, if any, you have purchased.

(c) With respect to shares acquired from us, the Market Price may exceed the price at which shares of our common stock are trading on the Investment Date when the shares are issued. The fair market value on the Investment Date generally governs the amount of taxable income to shareholders and may affect the price at which your shares are purchased.

(d) Because Optional Cash Payments must be received by the Plan Administrator by the Optional Cash Payment Due Date, such payments may be exposed to changes in market conditions for a longer period of time than in the case of typical secondary market transactions. In addition, Optional Cash Payments once received by the Plan Administrator will not be returned to you unless you send a written request to the Plan Administrator at least five business days before the commencement of the relevant Pricing Period with respect to that payment.

(e) There is a nominal fee per transaction, a brokerage commission, and applicable share transfer taxes on resales that you may be required to pay to the Plan Administrator if you request that the Plan Administrator sell some or all of your shares of common stock credited to your Plan account.

(f) If you chose to reinvest cash dividends, you will be treated for federal income tax purposes as having received a distribution in cash on the distribution payment date. You may have to use other funds (or sell a portion of the common stock received) to fund the resulting tax liability.

Prospective investors should carefully consider the matters referenced in the Risk Factors section of the prospectus before making an investment in our common stock.

ADMINISTRATION

4. Who administers the Plan? How do I contact them?

Administration of the Plan is conducted by the individual (who may be an employee of our company), bank, trust company or other entity (including our company) appointed from time to time by us to act as administrator of the plan. Registrar and Transfer Company (“R&T”) is the current Plan Administrator. The Plan Administrator is responsible for administering the Plan, receiving all your cash investments, maintaining records of account activities, issuing statements of account and performing other duties required by the Plan. The number of shares credited to your account under the Plan will be shown on your statement of account.

You may contact R&T by:

Internet

Once you have registered online and received a password, you can review account activity, obtain information and download enrollment and other forms to use in requesting transactions on your plan account on the R&T website at www.rtco.com .

PARTICIPATION

For purposes of this section, responses are generally directed (a) to existing shareholders, according to the method by which their shares are held, or (b) to investors who are not currently shareholders but would like to make an initial purchase of common stock to become a Participant.

A Record Owner may participate directly in the Plan. A Beneficial Owner must either become a Record Owner by having one or more shares transferred into his or her own name or coordinating with his or her broker, bank, or other nominee to participate in the Plan on his or her behalf. A broker, bank, or other nominee acting on behalf of a Beneficial Owner must have a separate account for each Beneficial Owner who is a Participant in the Plan and for whom it acts as the broker, bank, or other nominee. In addition, interested investors who are not shareholders may participate in the Plan through the Optional Cash Payment feature.

You will be subject to certain tax withholding regarding dividends that are reinvested.

You will become a participant after a properly completed enrollment form has been received and accepted by the administrator.

8. I already own shares, but they are held by my bank or broker and registered in “street name.” How can I participate in the Plan?

If you are the Beneficial Owner of common stock registered in “street name” (for example, in the name of a bank, broker or trustee), you may participate in the Plan by either: (1) transferring those securities into your own name and depositing those shares of common stock or Series A Preferred, as applicable, into the Plan for safekeeping and/or electing to reinvest cash dividend payments on those shares in common stock; or (2) making arrangements with your Record Owner (for example, your bank, broker or trustee, who will become the participant) to participate in the Plan on your behalf.

9. I am not currently a WGNB Corp. shareholder. How do I enroll in the Plan?

If you do not currently own any shares of our common stock or Series A Preferred and you wish to become a shareholder and a participant in the Plan, you may join the Plan by using one of the following methods.

Mail . Complete the enclosed enrollment form and return it, along with your initial investment, to the address provided.

Partial Dividend Reinvestment: You may elect to receive part of your dividends in cash by designating your election on your enrollment form. If you elect partial dividend reinvestment, you must specify the number of whole shares of common stock or Series A Preferred, as applicable, for which you want to receive cash dividends. Dividends paid on all other shares registered in your name in stock certificate form and/or credited to your account will be reinvested under the Plan in additional shares of common stock.

No Dividend Reinvestment: You may elect to receive all of your dividends in cash by designating your election on your enrollment form. Dividends paid in cash will be sent to you by check in the manner in which such dividends are sent to shareholders of the Company.

Automatic reinvestment of your dividends does not relieve you of liability for income taxes that may be owed on your dividends. Dividends paid on shares credited to your account will be included in information provided both to you and the Internal Revenue Service, or IRS. You will be treated for federal income tax purposes as having received a dividend on the related date of purchase of shares of common stock under the Plan, which may give rise to a tax payment obligation without providing you with immediate cash to pay such tax when it becomes due. See Question 45 “What are the federal income tax consequences of participation in the Plan?”

R&T will begin to reinvest your dividends automatically on the next dividend payment date after R&T receives your fully completed enrollment form and initial investment, if applicable. If your completed enrollment form and initial investment, if applicable, arrive after the record date, reinvestment may not begin until the following dividend.

12. How do I make an additional investment?

You may make optional cash investments by choosing any of the following three options:

Check Investment. You may make optional cash investments in our common stock by sending to R&T a check for the purchase of additional shares. The check must be made payable to “Registrar and Transfer Company” drawn on a U.S. bank and payable in U.S. dollars. Reference “WGNB Corp.” in the memo section of your check. If you are not in the U.S., contact your bank to verify that they can provide you with a check that clears through a U.S. bank and can print the dollar amount in U.S. funds. Due to the longer clearance period, R&T is unable to accept checks clearing through non-U.S. banks. All checks should be sent to R&T, at the address provided in Question 4. R&T will not accept cash, money orders, traveler’s checks or third party checks.

Automatic Investment from a Bank Account . You may elect to have funds automatically withdrawn every month from your checking or savings account by electronic funds transfer at a qualified U.S. financial institution. You may elect the automatic cash withdrawal option by completing and returning an automatic deduction enrollment form, along with a voided blank check or a checking or savings account deposit slip. Please allow 4 to 6 weeks for the first investment to be initiated. Once automatic deductions begin, funds will be withdrawn from your bank account on the 10th day of each month, or the next business day if that day is not a business day.

Once initiated, automatic monthly deductions will continue at the level you set until you change your instruction by notifying R&T. You may change the amount of money or terminate the automatic monthly withdrawal of funds by completing and submitting a new automatic deduction enrollment form. To be effective for a particular month, R&T must receive your request at least seven business days prior to the applicable debit date. Once you enroll online (where you will be given a user id and a password), you will be able to download these forms from R&T’s website at www.rtco.com .

See Question 15 for information regarding Investment Dates.

13. What are the minimum and maximum amounts for optional cash investments?

If you are a current shareholder, or if you wish to become a shareholder, you may make optional cash investments by check or automatic deduction from a U.S. bank account subject to a minimum investment of $250 per month, and up to a maximum of $10,000 per month (except pursuant to a request for approval to make an optional cash investment in excess of $10,000, as described below).

We may adjust all minimum and maximum plan investment amounts at our discretion from time to time after notification to all participants.

14. When may an eligible shareholder or interested new investor join the Plan?

A Record Owner or a Beneficial Owner may join the Plan at any time. A new investor may join the Plan by making an initial investment of $250 to $10,000 (or more with our permission) when completing the enrollment form. Once in the Plan, you remain in the Plan until you withdraw, we or the Plan Administrator terminate your participation or we terminate the Plan.

15. When will dividends and Optional Cash Payments be invested?

When shares are purchased from us, the Plan Administrator will make those purchases on the Investment Date in each month. The Investment Date will generally be the dividend payment date for dividends and, gen e rally, the 15th day of a month for Optional Cash Payments, unless such date is not a business day in which case it is the 1st business day immediately thereafter, or, in the case of open market purchases, typically some day or days between the 15th and the next 10 business days thereafter, as market conditions permit. For Optional Cash Payments, we may designate other Investment Dates for any month, at our sole discretion.

When the Plan Administrator makes open market purchases, those purchases may be made on any securities exchange where the shares are traded, in the over-the-counter market; or in negotiated transactions, and may be subject to such terms with respect to price, delivery, and other matters as agreed to by the Plan Administrator. Neither we nor you will have any authorization or power to direct the time or price at which the Plan Administrator purchases shares or the selection of the broker or dealer through or from whom the Plan Administrator makes purchases. However, when the Plan Administrator makes open market purchases with Optional Cash Payments, the Plan Administrator is required to use its reasonable best efforts to purchase the shares at the lowest possible price while meeting the time requirements. If, despite using its best efforts, the Plan Administrator is unable to make sufficient open market purchases to invest dividends and/or fill share purchase orders by the last trading day of the applicable month in which the Investment Date was to occur, and we are unable (for any reason in our sole discretion) to use authorized but unissued shares reserved under the Plan to complete such dividend reinvestment and/or share purchase orders, the Plan Administrator will return any Optional Cash Payments for which purchases have not been filled and remit cash (with respect to uninvested dividends) to the shareholders who otherwise would have received shares. In determining which shareholders shall have priority with respect to dividend investments and/or share purchase orders, we may base such determinations on any factors we deem reasonable (including length of participation in the Plan).

If the Plan Administrator receives the enrollment form at least two days before the Record Date for a dividend payment, the election to reinvest dividends will begin with that dividend payment. If the Plan Administrator receives the enrollment form less than two days before any such Record Date, reinvestment of dividends will begin on the dividend payment date following the next Record Date if you are still a shareholder of record.

The Plan Administrator will allocate shares and credit shares, computed to four decimal places, to your account as follows: (1) shares purchased from us will be allocated and credited as of the appropriate Investment Date; and (2) shares purchased in open market transactions will be allocated and credited as of the date on which the Plan Administrator completes the purchases of the aggregate number of shares to be purchased on behalf of all Participants with dividends to be reinvested or Optional Cash Payments, as the case may be, during the month.

No interest will be paid on cash dividends pending investment or reinvestment under the terms of the Plan. Since no interest is paid on cash held by the Plan Administrator, it normally will be in your best interest to defer Optional Cash Payments until shortly before commencement of the Pricing Period.

PURCHASES AND PRICES OF SHARES

16. What will be the price to Participants of shares purchased under the Plan?

With respect to both reinvested dividends and Optional Cash Payments and whether the shares are acquired directly from us or on the open market, they will be purchased for the Plan at the Market Price, as defined below.

The Market Price, in the case of shares purchased directly from us, will be the average of the daily high and low sales prices, computed to four decimal places, of our common stock on the Nasdaq or other applicable securities exchange, as reported in Bloomberg , during the Pricing Period (generally the 10 days (or as otherwise designated by us at our sole discretion from time to time and disclosed in any waivers so granted) on which the Nasdaq is open and for which trades in our common stock are reported immediately preceding the relevant Investment Date, or, if no trading occurs in our common stock on one or more of such days, for the 10 days (or other number) immediately preceding the Investment Date for which trades are reported; the exact number of days depends on the determined Pricing Period). In the case of shares purchased on the open market, the Market Price will be the weighted average of the actual prices paid, net of any brokerage commissions, computed to four decimal places, for all of the common stock purchased by the Plan Administrator with all Participants’ reinvested dividends and Optional Cash Payments for the related month.

Neither we nor you will have any authorization or power to direct the time or price at which the Plan Administrator purchases shares or the selection of the broker or dealer through or from whom the Plan Administrator makes the purchases. However, when open market purchases are made by the Plan Administrator, the Plan Administrator is required to use its best efforts to purchase the shares at the lowest possible price.

17. What are the Record Dates and Investment Dates for Dividend Reinvestment?

For the reinvestment of dividends on shares of our common stock, the Record Date is the date set by our board of directors for determination of the ownership of the common stock entitled to payment of a dividend on the dividend payment date. Likewise, the dividend payment date authorized by our board of directors constitutes the Investment Date applicable to the reinvestment of that dividend with respect to shares of common stock acquired directly from us.

For the reinvestment of dividends on shares of our Series A Preferred, the Record Date is the last day of the immediately preceding calendar month during which a “dividend payment date” falls. If approved by our board of directors, dividends will be payable on each March 15, June 15, September 15 and December 15, commencing December 15, 2008. In the case that any date on which dividends are payable on the Series A Preferred is not a business day, then payment of the dividend payable on that date will be made on the next succeeding day that is a business day. Consequently, the dividend payment date with respect to shares of our Series A Preferred constitutes the Investment Date applicable to the reinvestment of that dividend for shares of common stock acquired directly from us.

The Investment Date with respect to shares of common stock that the Plan Administrator purchases in open market transactions will typically be some day or days between the Investment Date and the next 10 business days thereafter, as market conditions permit. Dividends will be reinvested on the Investment Date using the applicable Market Price. See Question 15 for additional information regarding the potential return of requested investments if the Plan Administrator is unable, despite its best efforts, to fill share purchase orders from open market purchases.

18. How will the number of shares purchased for you be determined?

Your Plan account will be credited with the number of shares, including fractions computed to four decimal places, equal to the total amount to be invested on your behalf divided by the purchase price per share. The total amount to be invested will depend on the amount of any dividends paid on the number of shares of common stock or Series A Preferred, as applicable, that you own on the applicable Record Date and shares of common stock or Series A Preferred, as applicable, credited to your Plan account and available for investment on the related Investment Date, or the amount of any Optional Cash Payments made by you and available for investment on the related Investment Date. Subject to the availability of shares of common stock registered for issuance under the Plan, there is no limit to the number of shares available for issuance pursuant to the reinvestment of dividends.

19. What is the source of shares of common stock purchased under the Plan?

Shares of common stock credited to your Plan account will be purchased either directly from us, in which event such shares will be authorized but unissued shares, or on the open market or privately negotiated transactions, or by a combination of the foregoing, at our option, after a review of current market conditions and our current and projected capital needs. We will determine the source of the shares of common stock to be purchased under the Plan at least three business days before the relevant Investment Date, and will notify the Plan Administrator of the same. Neither we nor the Plan Administrator will be required to provide any written notice to you as to the source of the shares of common stock to be purchased under the Plan, but information regarding the source of the shares of common stock may be obtained by contacting our investor relations department at (770) 832-3557. See Question 15 for additional information regarding the potential return of requested investments if the Plan Administrator is unable, despite its best efforts, to fill share purchase orders from open market purchases.

20. How does the Optional Cash Payment feature of the Plan work?

All Record Owners and interested new investors who have timely submitted properly completed enrollment forms indicating their intention to participate in the Optional Cash Payment feature, and all Beneficial Owners whose brokers, banks, or other nominees have timely submitted signed enrollment forms indicating their intention to participate in the Optional Cash Payment feature (except for Beneficial Owners whose brokers, banks, or other nominees hold the shares of the Beneficial Owners in the name of a major securities depository), are eligible to make Optional Cash Payments during any month, whether or not a dividend is declared. If a broker, bank, or other nominee holds shares of a Beneficial Owner in the name of a major securities depository, Optional Cash Payments must be made through the use of the broker and nominee form. Optional cash payments must be accompanied by an enrollment form or a broker and nominee form, as applicable. The Plan Administrator will apply any Optional Cash Payment received from you no later than one business day before commencement of that month’s Pricing Period to the purchase of additional shares of common stock for your account on the following Investment Date and will enroll all, a portion or none of such shares in the Dividend Reinvestment program as directed on the enrollment form.

You are not obligated to participate in the Optional Cash Payment feature of the Plan. Optional Cash Payments need not be in the same amount each month.

21. What limitations apply to Optional Cash Payments?

Each Optional Cash Payment is subject to a minimum per month purchase of $250 and a maximum per month purchase limit of $10,000. For purposes of these limitations, all Plan accounts under your common control or management (which will be determined at our sole discretion) will be aggregated. Generally, Optional Cash Payments of less than $250 and that portion of any Optional Cash Payment which exceeds the maximum monthly purchase limit of $10,000, unless such limit has been waived by us, will be returned to you without interest at the end of the relevant Pricing Period.

You may make Optional Cash Payments of up to $10,000 each month without our prior approval, subject to our right to modify, suspend, or terminate participation in the Plan by otherwise eligible holders of shares of common stock or interested new investors to eliminate practices which are, in our sole discretion, not consistent with the purposes or operation of the Plan or which adversely affect the price of the shares of common stock.

Optional cash payments in excess of $10,000 may be made by you only upon our acceptance of a completed Request for Waiver form from you and the Plan Administrator’s receipt of that form. There is no pre-established maximum limit applicable to Optional Cash Payments that may be made pursuant to accepted Requests for Waivers. A Request for Waiver form must be received by us and the Plan Administrator and accepted by us and notice of our acceptance must have been received by the Plan Administrator no later than the Optional Cash Payment Due Date for the applicable Investment Date. Request for Waiver forms will be furnished at any time upon request to the Plan Administrator at the address or telephone number specified in Question 4. If you are interested in obtaining further information about a Request for Waiver, you should contact our investor relations department at (770) 832-3557.

Your written Request for Waiver must include the proposed investment amount(s), Pricing Period(s), and Investment Date(s), prior to the commencement of the requested Pricing Period(s). If Requests for Waiver are submitted for any period for an aggregate amount in excess of the amount we are willing to accept, we may honor such requests in order of receipt, pro rata, or by any other method which we determine to be appropriate.

Waivers will be considered on the basis of a variety of factors, which may include our current and projected capital needs, the alternatives available to us to meet those needs, prevailing market prices for shares of common stock and our other securities, general economic and market conditions, expected aberrations in the price or trading volume of the shares of common stock, the potential disruption of the price of the shares of common stock by a financial intermediary, the number of shares of common stock that you hold, your past actions under the Plan, the aggregate amount of Optional Cash Payments for which such waivers have been submitted, and the administrative constraints associated with granting such waivers. Grants of waivers will be made in our absolute discretion.

22. What are the Due Dates and Investment Dates for Optional Cash Payments?

Optional cash payments will be invested on the related Investment Date. The Optional Cash Payment Due Date is one business day before commencement of the related Pricing Period and the Investment Date is generally on or about the 15th day of each month or, in the case of open market purchases, the Investment Date will be such day or days between the 15th and the next 10 business days thereafter, as market conditions permit. We may provide for more than one Optional Cash Payment per month, at our sole discretion. See Question 15 for additional information regarding the potential return of requested investments if the Plan Administrator is unable, despite its best efforts, to fill share purchase orders from open market purchases.

Optional Cash Payments that the Plan Administrator timely receives will be applied to the purchase of shares of common stock on the Investment Dates which relate to the related Pricing Period. No interest will be paid by us or the Plan Administrator on Optional Cash Payments held pending investment. Generally, Optional Cash Payments not timely received will be returned to you without interest at the end of the Pricing Period; you may resubmit those Optional Cash Payments before commencement of the next or a later Pricing Period.

For a schedule of expected Optional Cash Payment Due Dates and Investment Dates, visit our website at www.wgnb.com .

23. When must the Plan Administrator receive Optional Cash Payments?

Each month the Plan Administrator will apply any Optional Cash Payment for which good funds are timely received to the purchase of shares of common stock for your account during the next Pricing Period. For funds to be invested during the next Pricing Period, the Plan Administrator must have received a check or wire transfer by the end of the business day immediately preceding the first trading day of the ensuing Pricing Period and that check or wire transfer must have cleared on or before the first Investment Date in such Pricing Period. Wire transfers may be used only if the Plan Administrator approves it verbally in advance. Checks are accepted subject to timely collection as good funds and verification of compliance with the terms of the Plan. Checks should be made payable to “Registrar and Transfer Company” (please reference “WGNB Corp.” in the memo section of your check) and submitted together with, initially, the enrollment form or, subsequently, the form for additional investments attached to your statements. Checks returned for any reason will not be resubmitted for collection.

You can automatically invest a specified monthly amount (not less than $250 and not more than $10,000 per month) deducted directly from your U.S. bank account by completing the automatic monthly deduction section on the enrollment form and returning it to the Plan Administrator. Funds will be transferred from your bank account on the 10th day of each month. You can change or stop automatic monthly investments by completing and returning a new automatic monthly deduction section on the enrollment form or by sending written notification to the Plan Administrator. The Plan Administrator must receive your instructions and authorization ten business days prior to the monthly Optional Cash Payment Due Date.

No interest will be paid by us or the Plan Administrator on Optional Cash Payments held pending investment. Since no interest is paid on cash held by the Plan Administrator, it normally will be in your best interest to defer Optional Cash Payments until shortly before commencement of the Pricing Period.

For payments to be invested on the Investment Date, in addition to the receipt of good funds by the Optional Cash Payment Due Dates, the Plan Administrator must be in receipt of an enrollment form or a broker and nominee form, as appropriate, as of the same date.

24. May Optional Cash Payments be returned?

Yes. Upon written request to the Plan Administrator received at least five business days before the commencement of the relevant Pricing Period for the Investment Date with respect to which Optional Cash Payments have been delivered to the Plan Administrator, such Optional Cash Payments will be returned to you as soon as practicable. Requests received less than five business days before such date will not be returned but instead will be invested on the next related Investment Date. Also, each Optional Cash Payment, to the extent that it does not either conform to the limitations, or clear within the time limits, will be subject to return to you as soon as practicable. See Question 15 for additional information regarding the potential return of requested investments if the Plan Administrator is unable, despite its best efforts, to fill share purchase orders from open market purchases.

25. Are there any expenses to you in connection with your participation under the Plan?

You will incur no brokerage commissions or service charges in connection with the reinvestment of dividends and in connection with all purchases made pursuant to Optional Cash Payments under the Plan. We will pay all other costs of administration of the Plan. However, should you request that the Plan Administrator sell all or any portion of your shares you may pay a nominal fee per transaction to the Plan Administrator, any related brokerage commissions, and applicable stock transfer taxes. You will be responsible for certain miscellaneous fees (such as requests for duplicate statements, returned, checks, and the like). These fees are described in Question 10.

DIVIDENDS ON FRACTIONS

26. Will you be credited with dividends on fractions of shares?

Yes, fractional shares are computed to four decimal places and dividends are rounded to the nearest penny.

CERTIFICATES FOR COMMON SHARES

27. Will certificates be issued for shares purchased?

No. Shares of common stock purchased for you will be held in the name of the Plan Administrator or its nominee. No certificates will be issued to you for shares in the Plan unless you submit a written request to the Plan Administrator or until participation in the Plan is terminated. At any time, you may request that the Plan Administrator send you a certificate for some or all of the whole shares credited to your account. You should mail this request to the Plan Administrator at the address set forth in the answer to Question 4. Any remaining whole shares and any fractions of shares will remain credited to your Plan account. Certificates for fractional shares will not be issued under any circumstances.

28. In whose name will certificates be registered when issued?

Your Plan account is maintained in the name registered at the time of your enrollment in the Plan. Share certificates for whole shares purchased under the Plan will be similarly registered when issued upon your request. If you are a Beneficial Owner, you should place the request through your banker, broker, or other nominee. If you wish to pledge shares credited to your Plan account, you must first withdraw those shares from the Plan account. If you wish to withdraw your shares and have any or all of the full shares held in their Plan account issued and delivered to you in physical form, you may do so by sending a written instruction to the Plan Administrator at the address set forth in Question 4. Registration of withdrawn shares in a name other than yours will require the guaranty of your signature.

SALES AND TRANSFERS

29. How may I sell shares I hold through the Plan?

You can fax your request to 908-497-2320. You can also make a sale request online at rtco.com after you register on the website. You can submit your request to R&T by completing and submitting the tear-off portion of the account statement. R&T will cause your shares to be sold on the open market within five business days of receipt of your request. R&T may combine your shares to be sold with those of other Plan participants selling shares at the same time. The sales price per share will be the weighted average price per share received by R&T for all sales made on that day (and any succeeding days necessary to complete the sale order). Once sold, R&T will send you the proceeds, less the service fees set forth in Question 10 and applicable commission fees. Proceeds are paid by check.

R&T reserves the right to decline to process a sale if it determines, in its sole discretion, that supporting legal documentation is required. In addition, no one will have any authority or power to direct the time or price at which shares for the Plan are sold, and no one, other than R&T, will select the broker(s) or dealer(s) through or from whom sales are to be made.

You should be aware that the price of our common stock may rise or fall during the period between a request for sale, its receipt by R&T and the ultimate sale on the open market. Instructions sent to R&T to sell shares are binding and may not be rescinded. If you prefer to have complete control as to the exact timing and sales prices, you can transfer the shares to a broker of your own choosing and sell them through that broker.

Signature Guarantees

If your sale request will involve amounts of $10,000 or more, your sale request must include a signature that is “Medallion Guaranteed” by a financial institution. Most banks and brokers participate in the Medallion Guarantee Program. The Medallion Guarantee Program ensures that the individual signing is in fact the owner of the shares to be transferred. A notary is not sufficient.

30. Can I transfer shares that I hold in the Plan to someone else?

Yes. You may transfer ownership of some or all of your shares held through the Plan. You may call R&T at 800-866-1340 for complete transfer instructions or go to www.rtco.com to download the appropriate materials. You will be asked to send R&T written transfer instructions and your signature must be “Medallion Guaranteed” by a financial institution. Most banks and brokers participate in the Medallion Guarantee Program. The Medallion Guarantee Program ensures that the individual signing is in fact the owner of the shares to be transferred. A notary is not sufficient.

You may transfer shares to new or existing WGNB Corp. shareholders. You may not transfer fractional shares.

MODIFICATIONS OR CLOSURE OF PLAN ACCOUNT

31. How may I modify or close my Plan account?

Changing Dividend Options : You may change dividend options by submitting a new election to the Plan Administrator. To be effective for a specific dividend, R&T must receive any change before or on the record date for such dividend. Record dates are usually 10 days prior to dividend payment dates for our common stock. The record date for payment of dividends on the Series A Preferred will be the last day of the immediately preceding calendar month during which the dividend payment date falls (which, if declared by our board, is each March 15, June 15, September 15 and December 15).

Stopping Dividend Reinvestment . You may stop reinvestment of cash dividends at any time by sending instructions to R&T. If R&T receives your request to stop dividend reinvestment not later than three days prior to the payment date for a dividend, then R&T may pay the dividend in cash on the next Investment Date. If R&T receives your request to stop dividend reinvestment less than three days prior to the payment date for a dividend, then R&T will reinvest the dividend under the Plan on the next Investment Date. After processing your request to stop dividend reinvestment, any shares credited to your account under the Plan will continue to be held in book entry form. Dividends on any shares held in book entry form, and on any shares you hold in stock certificate form, will be paid in cash by check.

Closing your Plan account. You may close your Plan account by:

(a) Requesting that R&T issue a stock certificate for all of your whole shares and a check for the value of any fractional share. See Question 27 for additional information on requesting a stock certificate; or

(b) Requesting that R&T sell the shares held in your Plan account on the open market and remit to you a check for the proceeds for all full and fractional shares, less applicable service and processing fees. See Question 29 for additional information on sales.

32. I’ve just moved. How can I request a change of address or update other personal data?

It is important that our records contain your most up-to-date personal data. If you need to request a change of address or update other personal data, please call R&T at 800-866-1340 or write to them at the address provided in Question 4. Shares of common stock credited to your Plan account are subject to escheat to the state in which you reside in the event that such shares are deemed, under such state’s laws, to have been abandoned by you. You, therefore, should notify the Plan Administrator promptly in writing of any change of address.

AUTOMATIC TERMINATION OF PLAN

33. Are there any automatic termination provisions?

Yes. Participation in the Plan will be terminated if the Plan Administrator receives written notice of the death or adjudicated incompetence of a Participant, together with satisfactory supporting documentation of the appointment of a legal representative, at least five business days before the next Record Date for purchases made through the reinvestment of dividends or commencement of the relevant Pricing Period for Optional Cash Payments, as applicable. In the event written notice of death or adjudicated incompetence and such supporting documentation is received by the Plan Administrator less than five business days before the next Record Date for purchases made through the reinvestment of dividends or Optional Cash Payments, as applicable, shares will be purchased for the Participant with the related cash dividend or Optional Cash Payment and participation in the Plan will not terminate until after such dividend or payment has been reinvested. Thereafter, no additional purchase of shares will be made for the Participant’s account and the Participant’s shares and any cash dividends paid thereon will be forwarded to the Participant’s legal representative.

Further, participation in the Plan may be terminated if all whole shares have been disbursed from your shareholder account and your Plan account, leaving only a fraction of a share.

We reserve the right to monitor activity in all Plan accounts, and to modify, suspend, or terminate participation in the Plan by otherwise eligible holders of shares of common stock or interested new investors to eliminate practices which are, in our sole discretion, not consistent with the purposes or operation of the Plan, including investment limits per account, or which adversely affect the price of the shares of common stock.

OTHER INFORMATION

34. What happens if we declare a stock dividend or a stock split?

Any dividend payable in shares and any additional shares distributed by us in connection with a share split in respect of shares credited to your Plan account will be added to that account. Share dividends or split shares which are attributable to shares registered in your own name and not in your Plan account will be mailed directly to you as in the case of shareholders not participating in the Plan.

35. How will shares held by the Plan Administrator be voted at meetings of shareholders?

If you are a Record Owner, you will receive a proxy card covering both directly held shares and shares held in the Plan. If you are a Beneficial Owner, you will receive a proxy covering shares held in the Plan through your broker, bank, or other nominee. If a proxy is returned properly signed and marked for voting, all the shares covered by the proxy will be voted as marked. If a proxy is returned properly signed but no voting instructions are given, all of your shares will be voted in accordance with recommendations of our board of directors, unless applicable laws require otherwise. If the proxy is not returned, or if it is returned unexecuted or improperly executed or improperly completed, shares registered in your name may be voted only by you in person; neither we nor the Plan Administrator will vote such shares.

36. What are our responsibilities and the Plan Administrator’s responsibilities under the Plan?

We and the Plan Administrator will not be liable in administering the Plan for any act done in good faith or required by applicable law or for any good faith omission to act, including, without limitation, any claim of liability arising out of failure to terminate a Participant’s account upon his or her death, with respect to the prices at which shares are purchased and/or the times when such purchases are made or with respect to any fluctuation in the market value before or after purchase or sale of shares. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing contained in the Plan limits our liability with respect to alleged violations of federal securities laws.

We and the Plan Administrator will be entitled to rely on completed forms and the proof of due authority to participate in the Plan, without further responsibility of investigation or inquiry.

37. May the Plan be changed or discontinued?

Yes. We may suspend, terminate, or amend the Plan at any time. Notice will be sent to all current Plan Participants of any suspension or termination, or of any amendment that alters the Plan terms and conditions, as soon as practicable after such action by us.

38. Who should be contacted with questions about the Plan?

All correspondence regarding the Plan should be directed to the Plan Administrator at the address set forth in Question 4. Please mention WGNB Corp. and this Plan in all correspondence.

39. How is the Plan interpreted?

Any question of interpretation arising under the Plan will be determined by us and any such determination will be final. We may adopt additional terms and conditions of the Plan and its operation will be governed by the laws of the State of Georgia.

40. What reports will I receive?

Easy to read statements of your calendar year-to-date account activity will be sent to you promptly after the settlement of each transaction, which will simplify your record keeping. Each statement will show the amount invested, the purchase or sale price, the number of shares purchased or sold and the applicable service fees, as well as any activity associated with share deposits, transfers or withdrawals. These statements are a record of your Plan account activity and identify your cumulative share position. Please notify R&T promptly if your address changes. In addition, you will receive copies of the same communications sent to all other holders of our common stock, such as our annual reports and proxy statements. You will also receive any Internal Revenue Service information returns, if required. If you prefer, and if such materials are available online, you may consent to receive communications from us electronically over the Internet. Instead of receiving materials by mail, you will receive an electronic notice to the e-mail address of record, notifying you of the availability of our materials and instructing you on how to view and act on them. In addition, you can review your current account status, Plan options and transaction history online at any time at www.rtco.com . Please retain all transaction statements for tax purposes as there may be a fee for reconstructing past history.

41. Will dividends continue to be paid while the Plan is in effect?

Our board of directors has the ultimate discretion over our dividend policies, subject to statutory and regulatory requirements. The amount and timing of these distributions may be changed, or the payment of dividends terminated, at any time without notice.

42. What are some of your responsibilities under the Plan?

Shares of common stock credited to your Plan account are subject to escheat to the state in which you reside in the event that such shares are deemed, under such state’s laws, to have been abandoned by you. You, therefore, should notify the Plan Administrator promptly in writing of any change of address. Account statements and other communications to you will be addressed to you at the last address of record that you provide to the Plan Administrator.

You will have no right to draw checks or drafts against your Plan account or to instruct the Plan Administrator with respect to any shares of common stock or cash held by the Plan Administrator except as expressly provided in the Plan.

43. How are payments with “insufficient funds” handled?

In the event that any check or other deposit is returned unpaid for any reason or your pre-designated bank account does not have sufficient funds for an automatic debit, R&T will consider the request for investment of that purchase null and void. R&T will immediately remove from your account any shares already purchased in anticipation of receiving those funds and will sell such shares. If the net proceeds from the sale of those shares are insufficient to satisfy the balance of the uncollected amounts, R&T may sell additional shares from your account as necessary to satisfy the uncollected balance. There is a charge for any check or other deposit that is returned unpaid by your bank. We refer you to Question 10 for a list of the current returned check fees. This fee will be collected by R&T through the sale of the number of shares from your Plan account necessary to satisfy the fee.

44. Am I protected against losses?

Your investment in the Plan is no different from any investment in shares held by you. If you choose to participate in the Plan, then you should recognize that none of us, our subsidiary and affiliates, nor the Plan Administrator can assure you of a profit or protect you against loss on the shares that you purchase under the Plan. You bear the risk of loss in value and enjoy the benefits of gains with respect to all your shares. You need to make your own independent investment and participation decisions consistent with your situation and needs. None of us, our subsidiary and affiliates, nor the Plan Administrator can guarantee liquidity in the markets, and the value and marketability of your shares may be adversely affected by market conditions.

Plan accounts are not insured or protected by the Securities Investor Protection Corporation or any other entity and are not guaranteed by the FDIC or any government agency.

FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSIDERATIONS RELATING TO THE PLAN

45. What are the federal income tax consequences of participation in the Plan?

The following summarizes certain federal income tax considerations to current shareholders who participate in the Plan.

The following summary is based upon an interpretation of current federal tax law. It is important that you consult your own tax advisors to determine particular tax consequences, including state income tax (and non-income tax, such as stock transfer tax) consequences, which vary from state to state and which may result from participation in the Plan and the subsequent disposition of shares of common stock acquired pursuant to the Plan. Income tax consequences to Participants residing outside the United States will vary from jurisdiction to jurisdiction.

Dividend Reinvestment Program

Participants in the Dividend Reinvestment program under the Plan will be treated for federal income tax purposes as having received a distribution in an amount equal to the fair market value on the Investment Date of the shares acquired with reinvested dividends plus brokerage commissions, if any, paid on your behalf. Such shares will have a tax basis equal to the same amount, and the holding period for such shares will begin on the day following the Investment Date.

For federal income tax purposes, the fair market value of shares acquired under the Plan will likely be treated as equal to 100% of the average of the high and low sale prices of shares on the related Investment Date. Such average sales price on that specific date may vary from the market price determined under the Plan for such shares.

Such distribution will be taxable as ordinary income to the extent of our current or accumulated earnings and profits and generally won’t be eligible for the reduced rates on dividends paid from previously taxed earnings. To the extent the distribution is in excess of our current or accumulated earnings and profits, the distribution will be treated first as a tax-free return of capital, reducing the tax basis in your shares, and the distribution in excess of your tax basis will be taxable as gain realized from the sale of your shares.

Stock Purchase program

The taxation of discounts, if any, associated with optional cash purchases is not entirely clear. You may be treated as having received a dividend distribution in an amount equal to the excess, if any, of the fair market value of the shares acquired for your account on the Investment Date (plus brokerage commissions, if any) over the amount of your Optional Cash Payment. The fair market value on an Investment Date may differ from the Market Price determined under the Plan for such shares. You should be aware that we will treat the entire amount of such excess value as a distribution for tax reporting purposes that is taxable as a dividend. It is possible, however, that such excess should not be treated as a taxable distribution, or if it is, that all or a portion of such distribution should be treated as a tax-free return of capital. Participants are strongly encouraged to consult their own tax advisors in this regard.

Shares acquired under the Stock Purchase program under the Plan will have a tax basis equal to the amount of the payment plus the dividend income, if any, recognized as a result. Your holding period for shares of common stock acquired pursuant to the Plan will begin on the day following the Investment Date.

You will not realize any taxable income upon receipt of certificates for whole shares of common stock credited to your account, either upon your request for certain of those shares of common stock or upon your termination of participation in the Plan. You will recognize gain or loss upon the sale or exchange of shares of common stock acquired under the Plan. You will also recognize gain or loss upon receipt, following termination of participation in the Plan, of a cash payment for any fractional share equivalent credited to your account. The amount of any such gain or loss will be the difference between the amount that you received for the shares of common stock or fractional share equivalent and the tax basis thereof.

46. How are income tax withholding provisions applied to you?

If you fail to provide certain federal income tax certifications in the manner required by law, distributions on shares of common stock or Series A Preferred, as applicable, proceeds from the sale of fractional shares and proceeds from the sale of shares of common stock held for your account will be subject to federal income tax backup withholding imposed at the fourth lowest tax rate applicable to unmarried individuals, or such other rate as is then in effect. If withholding is required for any reason, the appropriate amount of tax will be withheld before investment or payment. Certain shareholders (including most corporations) are, however, exempt from the above withholding requirements.

If you are a foreign shareholder you need to provide the required federal income certifications to establish your status as a foreign shareholder so that the foregoing backup withholding does not to apply to you. You also need to provide the required certifications if you wish to claim the benefit of exemptions from federal income tax withholding or reduced withholding rates under a treaty or convention entered into between the United States and your country of residence. Generally, distributions to a foreign shareholder are subject to federal income tax withholding at 30% (or a lower treaty rate if applicable), but may be as much as 35% for certain types of income. Certain distributions or portion of a distribution to a foreign shareholder may still be subject to federal income tax withholding even when the distribution or that portion of the distribution is not treated as dividend under federal income tax laws. If you are a foreign shareholder whose distributions are subject to federal income tax withholding, the appropriate amount will be withheld and the balance will be credited to your account to purchase shares of common stock.

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

Except to the extent the Plan Administrator purchases common stock in open market transactions, the common stock acquired under the Plan will be sold directly by us through the Plan. We may sell common stock to owners of shares (including brokers or dealers) who, in connection with any resales of such shares, may be deemed to be underwriters. Such shares, including shares acquired pursuant to waivers granted with respect to the Stock Purchase program of the Plan, may be resold in market transactions (including coverage of short positions) on any national security exchange on which shares of common stock trade or in privately negotiated transactions. Our common stock is currently listed on the Nasdaq.

Under certain circumstances, it is expected that a portion of the shares of common stock available for issuance under the Plan will be issued pursuant to such waivers. The difference between the price such owners pay to us for shares of common stock acquired under the Plan and the price at which such shares are resold, may be deemed to constitute underwriting commissions received by such owners in connection with such transactions.

Subject to the availability of shares of common stock registered for issuance under the Plan, there is no total maximum number of shares that can be issued pursuant to the reinvestment of dividends.

We will pay any and all brokerage commissions and related expenses incurred in connection with purchases of common stock under the Plan. Upon withdrawal by a Participant from the Plan by the sale of common stock held under the Plan, the Participant will receive the proceeds of such sale less a nominal fee per transaction paid to the Plan Administrator (if such resale is made by the Plan Administrator at the request of a Participant), any related brokerage commissions and any applicable transfer taxes.

Common stock may not be available under the Plan in all jurisdictions. This prospectus does not constitute an offer to sell, or a solicitation of an offer to buy, any common stock or other securities in any jurisdiction to any person to whom it is unlawful to make such offer in such jurisdiction.

LEGAL MATTERS

The validity of the shares of our common stock offered hereby will be passed upon for us by Paul, Hastings, Janofsky & Walker LLP.

Item 15. Indemnification of Directors and Officers

The articles of incorporation of WGNB Corp. provide that WGNB may indemnify or obligate itself to indemnify its officers and directors for their actions to the fullest extent permitted under the Georgia Business Corporation Code (the “GBCC”). Article Nine of WGNB’s articles of incorporation provides that WGNB may indemnify or reimburse any person for reasonable expenses actually incurred in connection with any action, suit, or proceeding, whether civil or criminal, to which such person is made a party by reason of his or her position as a director, trustee, officer, employee, or agent of WGNB, or by reason of such person serving, at the request of WGNB, as a director, trustee, officer, employee, or agent of another firm, corporation, trust, or other organization or enterprise.

Article Nine of WGNB’s articles of incorporation further authorizes WGNB, upon approval by its Board of Directors, to pay expenses in advance of final disposition of any action, suit or proceeding involving a director, trustee, officer, employee, or agent if such person submits an undertaking to WGNB (i) of his or her good faith belief that he or she has met the standard of conduct set forth in the GBCC Section 14-2-856(b) and (ii) that he or she will repay such amount unless it is ultimately determined that he or she was entitled to such amount under Article Nine.

As provided under Georgia law, the liability of a director may not be eliminated or limited (a) for any appropriation, in violation of his duties, of any business opportunity of WGNB, (b) for acts or omissions which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (c) for unlawful corporate distributions or (d) for any transaction from which the director received an improper benefit.

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to our directors, officers, and controlling persons pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, we have been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.

WGNB’s directors and officers are insured against losses arising from any claim against them as such for wrongful acts or omissions, subject to certain limitations.

Item 17. Undertakings

(a) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:

(1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement:

(i) To include any prospectus required by section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933;

(ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than a 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the “Calculation of Registration Fee” table in the effective registration statement.

II-2

(iii) To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such information in the registration statement.

Provided, however , that paragraphs (a)(1)(i), (a)(1)(ii) and (a)(1)(iii) of this section do not apply if the registration statement is on Form S-3 or Form F-3 and the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in reports filed with or furnished to the Commission by the registrant pursuant to section 13 or section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that are incorporated by reference in the registration statement, or is contained in a form of prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) that is part of the registration statement.

(2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

(3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.

(4) That, for the purpose of determining liability under the Securities Act of 1933 to any purchaser: If the registrant is subject to Rule 430C (§230.430C of this chapter), each prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) as part of a registration statement relating to an offering, other than registration statements relying on Rule 430B or other than prospectuses filed in reliance on Rule 430A, shall be deemed to be part of and included in the registration statement as of the date it is first used after effectiveness. Provided, however, that no statement made in a registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into the registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such first use, supersede or modify any statement that was made in the registration statement or prospectus that was part of the registration statement or made in any such document immediately prior to such date of first use.

(5) That, for the purpose of determining liability of the registrant under the Securities Act of 1933 to any purchaser in the initial distribution of the securities:

The undersigned registrant undertakes that in a primary offering of securities of the undersigned registrant pursuant to this registration statement, regardless of the underwriting method used to sell the securities to the purchaser, if the securities are offered or sold to such purchaser by means of any of the following communications, the undersigned registrant will be a seller to the purchaser and will be considered to offer or sell such securities to such purchaser:

(i) Any preliminary prospectus or prospectus of the undersigned registrant relating to the offering required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424;

(ii) Any free writing prospectus relating to the offering prepared by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant or used or referred to by the undersigned registrant;

(iii) The portion of any other free writing prospectus relating to the offering containing material information about the undersigned registrant or its securities provided by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant; and

(iv) Any other communication that is an offer in the offering made by the undersigned registrant to the purchaser.

II-3

(b) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the registrant’s annual report pursuant to section 13(a) or section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan’s annual report pursuant to section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) that is incorporated by reference in the registration statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

(c) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

(d) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that:

(1) For purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, the information omitted from the form of prospectus filed as part of this registration statement in reliance upon Rule 430A and contained in a form of prospectus filed by the registrant pursuant to Rule 424(b)(1) or (4) or 497(h) under the Securities Act shall be deemed to be part of this registration statement as of the time it was declared effective.

(2) For the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each post-effective amendment that contains a form of prospectus shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
