Item 1.
Security and Issuer

This amended and restated Schedule 13D (this “Schedule 13D”) relates to the common stock, $5.00 par value (“Common Stock”), of Old Point Financial Corporation (the “Company” or “Old Point”).  The address of the principal executive offices of the Company is 101 East Queen Street, Hampton, VA 23669.

Item 2.
Identity and Background


(a)
This Schedule 13D is filed jointly by (collectively, the “Reporting Persons”): (1) PL Capital Advisors, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) registered investment adviser under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940 (“PL Capital Advisors”); (2) Richard J. Lashley, a managing member of PL Capital Advisors; and (3) John W. Palmer, a managing member of PL Capital Advisors.  The Joint Filing agreement of the Reporting Persons is attached as Exhibit 1 to Amendment No. 1 to the Schedule 13D, as filed with the SEC on December 31, 2015.

(b)
The principal business address of the Reporting Persons is 750 Eleventh Street South, Suite 202, Naples, FL 34102.

(c)
The principal business of PL Capital Advisors is to serve as an investment manager or adviser to various investment partnerships, funds and managed accounts (collectively, the “Clients”).  The principal occupation of Messrs. Lashley and Palmer is investment management through their ownership and control over the affairs of PL Capital Advisors.  PL Capital Advisors has sole voting and dispositive power over the Common Stock held by the Clients, which is deemed shared with the two Managing Members of PL Capital Advisors, and the Clients do not have the right to acquire voting or dispositive power over the Common Stock within sixty days.

(d)-(e)
During the last five years, none of the Reporting Persons (i) has been convicted in a criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations or similar misdemeanors) or (ii) has been a party to a civil proceeding of a judicial or administrative body of competent jurisdiction and as a result of such proceedings was or is subject to a judgment, decree, or final order enjoining future violations of, or prohibiting or mandating activities subject to, federal or state securities laws or finding any violations with respect at such laws.

(f)
Mr. Lashley and Mr. Palmer are both citizens of the United States.

Item 3.
Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration

In aggregate, PL Capital Advisors, on behalf of its Clients and affiliates (collectively, referred to herein as the “PL Capital Group”), owns 519,857 shares of Common Stock of the Company acquired at an aggregate cost of $8,843,115, including brokerage commissions.  These shares were acquired using the Clients’ available working capital.
 
From time to time, members of the PL Capital Group may purchase Common Stock on margin provided by Goldman Sachs & Co., on such firms’ usual terms and conditions.  All or part of the shares of Common Stock owned by members of the PL Capital Group may from time to time be pledged with one or more banking institutions or brokerage firms as collateral for loans made by such entities to members of the PL Capital Group.  Such loans, if any, generally bear interest at a rate based upon the federal funds rate plus a margin.  Because other securities are held in the margin accounts, it is not possible to determine the amounts, if any, of margin used to purchase the shares of Common Stock reported herein.  Such indebtedness, if any, may be refinanced with other banks or broker-dealers.

Item 4.
Purpose of Transaction

This is the PL Capital Group’s sixth amendment to its initial Schedule 13D filing. In the aggregate, the PL Capital Group owns 9.9% of the Company’s Common Stock, based upon the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock, 5,244,635, reported as the number of outstanding shares as of June 30, 2021, in the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K.  The PL C apital Group acquired the Common Stock because it believes the Common Stock is undervalued.
The PL Capital Group, the Company and Company Director William Keefe entered into Amendment No. 1 to the Settlement Agreement, effective as of August 12, 2021, amending the Settlement Agreement to permit the PL Capital Group to acquire up to 14.9% of the Company’s Common Stock, subject to satisfactory regulatory approval, and extending the Settlement Agreement to run through the Company's annual shareholder meeting in 2022.  A copy of the original Settlement Agreement, dated March 16, 2016, was previously filed as an exhibit.  Among other things, Amendment No. 1 provides that each party to the Settlement Agreement has the right to terminate the amended Settlement Agreement upon 5 days written notice to the other party at any time after the Company’s 2022 Annual Meeting, provided however that termination may not occur during the period between the notice deadline for director nominations pursuant to the Company’s bylaws and the conclusion of such Annual Meeting.  A copy of Amendment No. 1 to the Settlement Agreement is attached as Exhibit 99.4 to this filing and is incorporated herein by reference.
The Reporting Persons intend to monitor the performance and corporate governance of the Company, as well as the actions of the Company’s management and board.  As they deem necessary, the Reporting Persons will assert their stockholder rights.
Unless otherwise noted in this amended Schedule 13D, no Reporting Person has any plans or proposals, which relate to, or would result in, any of the matters referred to in paragraphs (b) through (j), inclusive of Item (4) of Schedule 13D.  The Reporting Persons may, at any time and from time to time, review or reconsider their positions and formulate plans or proposals with respect thereto.  The Reporting Persons may make further purchases of shares of Common Stock, although they have no present intention of increasing their aggregate holdings above 14.999% of the Company’s outstanding Common Stock.  The Reporting Persons may dispose of any or all the shares of Common Stock which they hold on behalf of the Clients.
 
Item 5.
Interest in Securities of the Company

The percentages used in this Schedule 13D are calculated based upon the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock, 5,244,635, reported as the number of outstanding shares as of June 30, 2021, in the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on July 27, 2021.
 
Because Messrs. Palmer and Lashley are the Managing Members of PL Capital Advisors, the investment manager or adviser to the Clients, they are deemed to share the voting and dispositive power over the shares of Common Stock managed by PL Capital Advisors on behalf of the Clients.  The Clients do not have the right to obtain voting or dispositive power over any of the shares of Common Stock within sixty days, and are therefore not deemed to beneficially own the shares of Common Stock, pursuant to Rule 13d-3 promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.  PL Capital Advisors, Mr. Palmer, and Mr. Lashley do not own any shares of Common Stock of the Company directly.
The Reporting Persons did not effect any transactions in the Common Stock within the past 60 days.
Item 6.
Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships with Respect to Securities of the Company.




CUSIP No. 680194107

PL Capital Advisors is the investment manager on behalf of the Clients.  Each of the Clients has granted to PL Capital Advisors the sole and exclusive authority to vote and dispose of the shares of Common Stock held on their behalf pursuant to a management agreement.  PL Capital Advisors is entitled to a fee for managing and advising these Clients, generally based upon a percentage of the Clients’ capital.  Affiliates of PL Capital Advisors, including PL Capital, LLC and Goodbody/PL Capital LLC, serve as the general partner of various partnerships managed and advised by PL Capital Advisors, including Financial Edge Fund, L.P., Financial Edge-Strategic Fund, L.P., PL Capital/Focused Fund, L.P., and Goodbody/PL Capital, L.P., each a Delaware limited partnership.  For serving as the general partner of these partnerships, PL Capital Advisors’ affiliates are entitled to an allocation of a portion of net profits, if any, generated by the partnerships.
Other than the foregoing arrangements and relationships and the Joint Filing Agreement filed as Exhibit 1 to Amendment No. 1 to this Schedule 13D, as filed with the SEC on December 31, 2015, there are no contracts, arrangements, understandings or relationships among the persons named in Item 2 hereof and between such persons and any person with respect to any securities of the Company.
