Item 2.01. Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.
On February 1, 2019 (the “Closing Date”), Union Bankshares Corporation (“Union”), the parent holding company of Union Bank & Trust, completed the transactions contemplated by the Agreement and Plan of Reorganization, dated as of October 4, 2018, as amended on December 7, 2018, and a related Plan of Merger (the “Agreement”), by and between Union and Access National Corporation (“Access”), the parent holding company of Access National Bank. On the Closing Date, (i) Access was merged with and into Union, with Union continuing as the surviving corporation (the “Merger”) (the effective time of the Merger, the “Effective Time”) and (ii) shortly thereafter, Access National Bank was merged with and into Union Bank & Trust, with Union Bank & Trust continuing as the surviving bank (together with the Merger, the “Mergers”). The Mergers were described in the Registration Statement on Form S-4 (File No. 333-228455) filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on November 16, 2018 and amended on December 10, 2018 (the “Registration Statement”).
At the Effective Time, pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, each share of common stock, par value $0.835 per share, of Access, excluding certain specified shares owned by Union or Access, was converted into the right to receive 0.75 shares of common stock, par value $1.33 per share, of Union (“Union Common Stock”), with cash paid in lieu of fractional shares (the “Merger Consideration”).
The foregoing summary of the Agreement and the Mergers is not complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the complete text of the Agreement, which is filed as Exhibit 2.1 to the Registration Statement, which is incorporated by reference as Exhibit 2.1 hereto and is incorporated herein by reference.
Item 5.02. Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.
Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, the Union board of directors (the “Board”) appointed Michael W. Clarke to fill a vacancy on the Board, effective as of the Effective Time, to hold such office until the next annual meeting of Union’s shareholders and until his successor is elected and qualified or until his resignation or removal. Prior to the Merger, Mr. Clarke served as President and Chief Executive Officer of Access. In accordance with the terms of the Agreement, Mr. Clarke will be nominated for reelection at the next annual meeting of Union’s shareholders following the Effective Time. Mr. Clarke will be entitled to receive compensation as a non-employee member of the Board, as described the section entitled “Director Compensation” in Union’s 2018 Proxy Statement, filed with the SEC on March 21, 2018. In connection with such appointment, Mr. Clarke has been appointed to the Risk Committee of the Board.
