On April 3, 2009, Eastern Virginia Bankshares, Inc. (the "Eastern Virginia") entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the "Merger Agreement") with First Capital Bancorp, Inc. ("First Capital"). The Merger Agreement sets forth the terms and conditions of the merger of First Capital with and into Eastern Virginia (the "Merger"). After the effective time of the Merger, First Capital Bank, a wholly-owned subsidiary of First Capital, will merge with and into EVB, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Eastern Virginia.

Under the terms of the Merger Agreement, Eastern Virginia will acquire all of the outstanding shares of First Capital. The shareholders of First Capital will receive, for each share of First Capital common stock that they own immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger, 0.98 shares of common stock of Eastern Virginia (the "Exchange Ratio"). In addition, at the effective time of the Merger, each outstanding option to purchase shares of First Capital common stock under any of First Capital's stock plans shall vest pursuant to its terms and shall be converted into an option to acquire the number of shares of Eastern Virginia common stock equal to the number of shares of common stock underlying the option multiplied by the Exchange Ratio. The exercise price of each option will be adjusted accordingly.

As previously disclosed, the United States Department of the Treasury (the "Treasury") holds preferred stock and warrants to purchase common stock of First Capital pursuant to the Capital Purchase Program. The Treasury will receive preferred stock of Eastern Virginia with identical rights to any preferred stock of First Capital that it owns immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger. In addition, any outstanding warrants issued to the Treasury to purchase common stock of First Capital will be converted into warrants to purchase common stock of Eastern Virginia. The number of shares of Eastern Virginia common stock and the per share exercise price will be adjusted to reflect the Exchange Ratio.

At the effective time of the Merger, Joe A. Shearin will remain Chief Executive Officer and President of Eastern Virginia. John M. Presley, the current Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer of First Capital, will become Managing Director and Chief Financial Officer of Eastern Virginia. Robert G. Watts, Jr., the current President and Chief Executive Officer of First Capital Bank, will serve as President and Chief Executive Officer of EVB, and Joseph H. James, Jr. will remain Chief Operating Officer of EVB.

The board of directors of Eastern Virginia will include thirteen persons, five of whom will be selected from the current board of First Capital and eight of whom will be selected from the current board of Eastern Virginia. W. Rand Cook will remain chairman of the board of Eastern Virginia and Grant S. Grayson, First Capital's current chairman, will become vice chairman of the board of Eastern Virginia.

Consummation of the Merger is subject to a number of customary conditions including the approval of the Merger by the shareholders of each of Eastern Virginia and First Capital and the receipt of all required regulatory approvals. The Merger is expected to be completed by year end 2009. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, either party may terminate the Merger in the event the Merger is not consummated by December 31, 2009. In addition, either party may terminate the Merger in certain circumstances, including if either Eastern Virginia or First Capital are not "well capitalized" as of the last full calendar month that is at least fifteen days before the effective time of the merger or if certain pro-forma capitalization ratios for the combined company are not met.
