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

On August 12, 2011, John A.B. “Andy” Davies, Jr., President and Chief Executive Officer of Hampton Roads Bankshares, Inc. (the “Company”) and of its subsidiary, The Bank of Hampton Roads, (the “Bank”) resigned as President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company and the Bank, effective immediately, to return to his prior work as a banking consultant.

In connection with Mr. Davies’ resignation from the Company, he entered into a Consulting Agreement and a Transition Agreement, both dated August 17, 2011.  The Consulting Agreement provides that, effective September 12, 2011, Mr. Davies will be retained as a consultant for one year in order to facilitate a smooth and orderly transition within the Company and the Bank and to assure access to Mr. Davies’ unique and valuable services.  Under the Consulting Agreement, Mr. Davies will perform 1,000 hours of service, as specified in the Consulting Agreement, in exchange for monthly consulting payments of $41,667, subject to adjustment based on the number of hours of service performed in a particular month.  In addition, the Company will reimburse Mr. Davies for out-of-pocket expenses he reasonably incurs to perform his consulting services, subject to the prior approval of the Company.  Under the Transition Agreement, Mr. Davies will continue to serve as a full-time employee until September 11, 2011, at which point his employment will terminate.  Also under the Transition Agreement, Mr. Davies has agreed not to compete with the Company or the Bank or solicit any employee of the Company or the Bank until September 11, 2013 in exchange for $110,000 in cash consideration.  The Transition Agreement also contains a mutual release of claims.

The foregoing summaries of the Consulting Agreement and Transition Agreement are not complete and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the full text of each of the Consulting Agreement and the Transition Agreement, copies of which are attached hereto as Exhibits 10.1 and 10.2, respectively, and incorporated by reference herein.

On August 17, 2011 Mr. Davies resigned as a director of the Company. There were no disagreements as to the Company’s operations, policies or practices that led to Mr. Davies resignation from the Company’s Board of Directors.

On August 12, 2011, the Board of Directors of the Company named Douglas J. Glenn, Executive Vice President, General Counsel and Chief Operating Officer of the Company, to take on the additional role of interim President and Chief Executive Officer, subject to pending regulatory approval.

Mr. Glenn, 44, has been a director of the Company since 2006. He was appointed Executive Vice President and General Counsel of the Company and the Bank in 2007. He added the responsibilities of Chief Operating Officer of the Company in February 2009. Prior to joining the Company, Mr. Glenn practiced law at Pender & Coward, P.C. in Virginia Beach, Virginia. His law practice was focused primarily on small business clients and clients involved in various aspects of real estate.
