Item 1.01.
Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On August 1, 2011, The Bank of Hampton Roads (the “Bank”) and Gateway Insurance Services, Inc. (“Gateway Insurance”), subsidiaries of Hampton Roads Bankshares, Inc. (the “Company”), entered into an asset purchase agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with Bankers Insurance, L.L.C. (“Bankers”). Under the Purchase Agreement, Bankers purchased substantially all of the assets and assumed certain liabilities of Gateway Insurance effective simultaneously with the execution of the Purchase Agreement (the “Asset Sale”). As consideration for the Asset Sale, the Bank received a cash payment equal to $5.8 million and a 0.45% membership interest in Bankers. The cash payment is subject to a post-closing working capital adjustment.

The Bank and Gateway Insurance also agree, under the Purchase Agreement, not to compete with Bankers, or solicit employees of Bankers, for a period of three years from August 1, 2011. The restriction on competition is limited to Bankers’ current business and applies to the Bank, Gateway Insurance and their affiliates in areas within 60 miles of current offices of the Bank or Gateway Insurance, but does not apply on the Eastern Shore of Virginia to affiliates located there.

The foregoing summary of the Purchase Agreement is not complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Purchase Agreement, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1 and incorporated by reference herein.

Item 8.01.
Other Events.

On August 2, 2011, the Company issued a press release announcing that the Bank has sold substantially all of the assets and certain liabilities of Gateway Insurance pursuant to the Purchase Agreement described under Item 1.01 of this Current Report on Form 8-K.

A copy of the press release making such announcement is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.
