Item 5.07.                      Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders.

On December 5, 2013, StellarOne Corporation (“StellarOne”) held a special meeting of shareholders (the “special meeting”) in Charlottesville, Virginia.  At the special meeting, the shareholders of StellarOne were asked to consider and vote on the following proposals: (1) to approve the Agreement and Plan of Reorganization, dated as of June 9, 2013, between Union First Market Bankshares Corporation (“Union”) and StellarOne, including the related Plan of Merger (together, the “merger agreement”), pursuant to which StellarOne will merge (the “merger”) with and into Union (the “merger proposal”), (2) to approve, in a non-binding advisory vote, certain compensation that may become payable to StellarOne’s named executive officers in connection with the merger (the “compensation proposal”), and (3) to adjourn the special meeting, if necessary or appropriate, to permit further solicitation of proxies in the event there are not sufficient votes at the time of the special meeting to approve the merger proposal (the “adjournment proposal”).  Each of the merger proposal and the compensation proposal was approved at the special meeting by the required vote of StellarOne’s shareholders necessary to approve such proposal.
 
As of October 9, 2013, the record date for the special meeting, there were 22,737,950 shares of StellarOne common stock issued and outstanding and eligible to be voted at the special meeting. At the special meeting, there were present in person or by proxy 16,240,689 shares of StellarOne’s common stock, which constituted a quorum to conduct business at the meeting.
