On July 14, 2011, Hampton Roads Bankshares, Inc. (the “Company”) announced that its subsidiary, The Bank of Hampton Roads (the “Bank”), has entered into a purchase and assumption agreement with ECB Bancorp, Inc. (“ECB”) (the “Purchase Agreement”), whereby ECB will purchase all deposits and selected assets associated with seven Gateway Bank branches in Preston Corners, Plymouth, Roper, Chapel Hill, Falls of Neuse, Lake Boone and Wilmington, North Carolina.  Under the terms of the Purchase Agreement, the Bank expects to close the Roper branch and consolidate its accounts into the Plymouth branch prior to the completion of the transaction.

The consummation of the transaction is subject to a number of conditions, including receipt of necessary regulatory approvals and execution of certain real property leases, among other conditions.
