Explanatory Note

This current report on Form 8-K/A updates information provided on a Form 8-K filed April 29, 2013, relating to disclosures made under Item 5.07, Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders, associated with the Virginia Commerce Bancorp, Inc. (the “Company”) Annual Meeting of Stockholders held on April 24, 2013 (the “2013 Annual Meeting”).

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

As previously reported, at the 2013 Annual Meeting, in a non-binding advisory vote, over a majority of the votes cast voted in favor of one year as the frequency with which the Company should hold future non-binding advisory votes on the compensation of our named executive officers. In light of these voting results and other factors, the Company plans to hold future non-binding advisory votes on the compensation of our named executive officers on an annual basis to the extent the Company holds any future annual meetings of stockholders.  As previously disclosed, the Company has entered into a definitive merger agreement with United Bankshares, Inc. (“United”) pursuant to which the Company will merge with and into a wholly-owned subsidiary of United.  The merger, which is subject to approval by the stockholders of each of the Company and United, receipt of applicable regulatory approvals and customary closing conditions, is expected to close in the fourth quarter of 2013.

Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the registrant has duly caused this report to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned hereunto duly authorized.
