Item 5.02
Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.

On August 20, 2012, Hampton Roads Bankshares, Inc. (the “Company”) and The Bank of Hampton Roads (“BHR”), its wholly owned subsidiary, entered into a Settlement Agreement and Mutual Release, effective August 17, 2012, with John A.B. Davies, Jr., the Company’s former President and Chief Executive Officer (the “Settlement Agreement”). The Settlement Agreement contains a mutual release and waiver of claims between Mr. Davies and the Company and BHR.

The Settlement Agreement also resolves certain matters related to the Consulting Agreement and the Transition Agreement, each entered into by the Company and Mr. Davies on August 17, 2011 (together, the “Agreements”). In particular, the Consulting Agreement provided that Mr. Davies would be paid $500 per hour for up to 1,000 hours of consulting services, or a maximum of $500,000, to be provided to the Company between September 12, 2011 and September 11, 2012. To date the Company has paid Mr. Davies $26,625 in return for consulting services rendered. The Settlement Agreement provides that the term of the Consulting Agreement is complete, that Mr. Davies is not entitled to any further payment for work completed or in process and that he will not perform any additional consulting services under the Agreements or otherwise.

The Settlement Agreement also provides that the payment of $25,000 made by the Company to Mr. Davies on the execution of the Settlement Agreement constitutes the final payment to be made under the Transition Agreement in return for Mr. Davies’ agreement not to compete with the Company or BHR or solicit for hire any employee of the Company or BHR until September 11, 2013.

The full text of the Settlement Agreement is attached as Exhibit 10.1 to this report and is incorporated by reference into this Item 5.02.
