i PART I Item 1. - Business GENERAL Union Bankshares Corporation (the "Company") is a multi-bank holding company organized under Virginia law which is headquartered in Bowling Green, Virginia. The Company is committed to the delivery of financial services through its four affiliated community banks, Union Bank & Trust Company ("Union Bank"), Northern Neck State Bank ("Northern Neck Bank"), Rappahannock National Bank ("Rappahannock Bank") and the Bank of Williamsburg (collectively, the "Subsidiary Banks"), and two non-bank financial services affiliates, Union Investment Services, Inc. ("Union Investment") and Mortgage Capital Investors, Inc. ("MCI"). The Company was formed in connection with the July 1993 merger of Northern Neck Bankshares Corporation with and into Union Bancorp, Inc. On September 1, 1996, King George State Bank and on July 1, 1998, Rappahannock National Bank became wholly-owned subsidiaries of the Company. On February 22, 1999, the Bank of Williamsburg began business as a newly organized bank focusing on the Williamsburg market. In June 1999, King George State Bank was merged into Union Bank and ceased to be a subsidiary bank. Each of the Subsidiary Banks is a full service retail commercial bank offering a wide range of banking and related financial services, including checking, savings, certificates of deposit and other depository services, and loans for commercial, industrial, residential mortgage and consumer purposes. The Subsidiary Banks also issue credit cards and can deliver automated teller machine services through the use of reciprocally shared ATMs in the STAR, CIRRUS and PLUS networks. During 2001, all the banks began offering Internet Banking access for banking services. Union Bankshares Corporation had assets of $983 million, deposits of $784 million, and shareholders' equity of $89 million at December 31, 2001. The Company serves, through its Subsidiary Banks, the Virginia counties of Caroline, Hanover, King George, King William, Spotsylvania, Stafford, Richmond, Westmoreland, Essex, Lancaster, Northumberland, the City of Williamsburg, James City County and the City of Fredericksburg. Late in 2001, the Company finalized plans to open a loan production office servicing Newport News beginning in January 2002. Through its Subsidiary Banks, the Company operated twenty-nine branches in its primary trade area at year end. Union Investment has provided securities, brokerage and investment advisory services since February 1993. It is a full service brokerage company which offers a wide range of investment services, and sells annuities, mutual funds, bonds and stocks. On February 22, 1999, the Company opened the Bank of Williamsburg, a full service bank headquartered in Williamsburg, Virginia. The bank was organized and 1 chartered under the laws of Virginia in February 1999. On March 20, 2000, the Bank of Williamsburg moved into its current headquarters located at 5125 John Tyler Parkway in Williamsburg. The Bank of Williamsburg's primary trade area is Williamsburg and surrounding James City County. The opening of the loan production office will extend the Bank's lending area to the Newport News/ Tidewater market. On February 11, 1999, the Company acquired CMK Corporation t/a "Mortgage Capital Investors," a mortgage loan brokerage company headquartered in Springfield, Virginia, by merger of CMK Corporation into Mortgage Capital Investors, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Union Bank. MCI has seven offices in Virginia (3), Maryland (3) and South Carolina (1) and is also licensed to do business in Connecticut, New Jersey and Washington, D.C. MCI provides a variety of mortgage products to customers in those states. The mortgage loans originated by MCI are generally sold in the secondary market through purchase agreements with institutional investors. MCI also offers insurance services to its customers through a joint venture with an insurance agency. The Company has two reportable segments: traditional full service community banks and a mortgage loan origination business, each as described above. See Note 17 to the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements and the section entitled "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" that are included in the Company's 2001 Annual Report to Shareholders for certain financial and other information about each of the Company's operating segments. ACQUISITION PROGRAM The Company looks to expand its market area and increase its market share through internal growth, de novo expansion and strategic acquisitions. On November 9, 2001, the Company's Northern Neck Bank subsidiary purchased the Tappahannock branch from Citizens & Farmers Bank. This purchase added $14.9 million in deposits and about $2.7 million in loans to the subsidiary's balance sheet. This site offers a better location from which to serve the Northern Neck Bank's customers with more potential for deposit and loan growth. COMPETITION The Company experiences competition in all aspects of its business. In its market area, the Company competes with large national and regional financial institutions, savings and loans and other independent community banks, as well as credit unions, mutual funds and life insurance companies. Competition has increasingly come from out-of-state banks through their acquisitions of Virginia-based banks. Competition for deposits and loans is affected by factors such as interest rates offered, the number and location of branches and types of products offered, as well as the reputation of the institution. 2 SUPERVISION AND REGULATION Bank holding companies and banks are extensively regulated under both federal and state law. The following description briefly addresses certain provisions of federal and state laws and certain regulations and proposed regulations and the potential impact of such provisions on the Company and the Subsidiary Banks. To the extent statutory or regulatory provisions or proposals are described herein, the description is qualified in its entirety by reference to the particular statutory or regulatory provisions or proposals. Bank Holding Companies As a bank holding company registered under the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956 (the "BHCA"), the Company is subject to regulation by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (the "Federal Reserve Board"). The Federal Reserve Board has jurisdiction under the BHCA to approve any bank or non-bank acquisition, merger or consolidation proposed by a bank holding company. The BHCA generally limits the activities of a bank holding company and its subsidiaries to that of banking, managing or controlling banks, or any other activity that is so closely related to banking or to managing or controlling banks as to be a proper incident thereto. Since September 1995, the BHCA has permitted bank holding companies from any state to acquire banks and bank holding companies located in any other state, subject to certain conditions, including nationwide and state imposed concentration limits. Banks are also able to branch across state lines, provided certain conditions are met, including that applicable state law must expressly permit such interstate branching. Virginia has adopted legislation that permits branching across state lines, provided there is reciprocity with the state in which the out-of-state bank is based. There are a number of obligations and restrictions imposed on bank holding companies and their depository institution subsidiaries by federal law and regulatory policy that are designed to reduce potential loss exposure to the depositors of such depository institutions and to the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (the "FDIC") insurance funds in the event the depository institution becomes in danger of default or is in default. For example, under a policy of the Federal Reserve Board with respect to bank holding company operations, a bank holding company is required to serve as a source of financial strength to its subsidiary depository institutions and to commit resources to support such institutions in circumstances where it might not do so absent such policy. In addition, the "cross-guarantee" provisions of federal law require insured depository institutions under common control to reimburse the FDIC for any loss suffered or reasonably anticipated by either the Savings Association Insurance Fund ("SAIF") or the Bank Insurance Fund ("BIF") as a result of the default of a commonly controlled insured depository institution in danger of default. The FDIC may decline to enforce the cross-guarantee provisions if it determines that a waiver is in the best interest of the SAIF or the BIF or both. The FDIC's claim for damages is superior to claims of stockholders of the insured depository institution or its holding company but is subordinate to claims of depositors, secured creditors and holders of subordinated debt (other than affiliates) of the commonly controlled insured depository institutions. 3 The Federal Deposit Insurance Act (the "FDIA") also provides that amounts received from the liquidation or other resolution of any insured depository institution by any receiver must be distributed (after payment of secured claims) to pay the deposit liabilities of the institution prior to payment of any other general creditor or stockholder. This provision would give depositors a preference over general and subordinated creditors and stockholders in the event a receiver is appointed to distribute the assets of the bank. The Company is registered under the bank holding company laws of Virginia. Accordingly, the Company and the Subsidiary Banks are subject to regulation and supervision by the State Corporation Commission of Virginia (the "SCC"). Capital Requirements The Federal Reserve Board, the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (the "OCC") and the FDIC have issued substantially similar risk-based and leverage capital guidelines applicable to United States banking organizations. In addition, those regulatory agencies may from time to time require that a banking organization maintain capital above the minimum levels because of its financial condition or actual or anticipated growth. Under the risk-based capital requirements of these federal bank regulatory agencies, the Company and each of the Subsidiary Banks are required to maintain a minimum ratio of total capital to risk-weighted assets of at least 8%. At least half of the total capital is required to be "Tier 1 capital", which consists principally of common and certain qualifying preferred shareholders' equity, less certain intangibles and other adjustments. The remainder ("Tier 2 capital") consists of a limited amount of subordinated and other qualifying debt (including certain hybrid capital instruments) and a limited amount of the general loan loss allowance. The Tier 1 and total capital to risk-weighted asset ratios of the Company as of December 31, 2001 were 11.14% and 12.16%, respectively, exceeding the minimum requirements. In addition, each of the federal regulatory agencies has established a minimum leverage capital ratio (Tier 1 capital to average tangible assets) ("Tier 1 leverage ratio"). These guidelines provide for a minimum Tier 1 leverage ratio of 4% for banks and bank holding companies that meet certain specified criteria, including that they have the highest regulatory examination rating and are not contemplating significant growth or expansion. The Tier 1 leverage ratio of the Company as of December 31, 2001, was 8.35%, which is above the minimum requirements. The guidelines also provide that banking organizations experiencing internal growth or making acquisitions will be expected to maintain strong capital positions substantially above the minimum supervisory levels, without significant reliance on intangible assets. Limits on Dividends and Other Payments The Company is a legal entity, separate and distinct from its subsidiary institutions. A significant portion of the revenues of the Company result from dividends paid to it by the Subsidiary Banks. There are various legal limitations applicable to the 4 payment of dividends by the Subsidiary Banks to the Company, as well as the payment of dividends by the Company to its respective shareholders. Under federal law, the Subsidiary Banks may not, subject to certain limited exceptions, make loans or extensions of credit to, or investments in the securities of, the Company or take securities of the Company as collateral for loans to any borrower. The Subsidiary Banks are also subject to collateral security requirements for any loans or extensions of credit permitted by such exceptions. The Subsidiary Banks are subject to various statutory restrictions on their ability to pay dividends to the Company. Under the current supervisory practices of the Subsidiary Banks' regulatory agencies, prior approval from those agencies is required if cash dividends declared in any given year exceed net income for that year plus retained net profits of the two proceeding years. The payment of dividends by the Subsidiary Banks or the Company may also be limited by other factors, such as requirements to maintain capital above regulatory guidelines. Bank regulatory agencies have the authority to prohibit the Subsidiary Banks or the Company from engaging in an unsafe or unsound practice in conducting their business. The payment of dividends, depending on the financial condition of the Subsidiary Banks, or the Company, could be deemed to constitute such an unsafe or unsound practice. Under the FDIA, insured depository institutions such as the Subsidiary Banks are prohibited from making capital distributions, including the payment of dividends, if, after making such distribution, the institution would become "undercapitalized" (as such term is used in the statute). Based on the Subsidiary Banks' current financial condition, the Company does not expect that this provision will have any impact on its ability to obtain dividends from the Subsidiary Banks. In addition to dividends it receives from the Subsidiary Banks, the Company receives management fees from its affiliated companies for various services provided to them including: data processing, item processing, customer accounting, financial accounting, human resources, funds management, credit administration, sales and marketing, collections and internal audit. These fees are charged to each subsidiary based upon various specific allocation methods measuring the usage of such services by that subsidiary. The fees are eliminated in the consolidation process. The Subsidiary Banks The Subsidiary Banks are supervised and regularly examined by the Federal Reserve Board and the SCC, and in the case of Rappahannock National Bank, the OCC. The various laws and regulations administered by the regulatory agencies affect corporate practices, such as the payment of dividends, incurring debt and acquisition of financial institutions and other companies, and affect business practices, such as the payment of interest on deposits, the charging of interest on loans, types of business conducted and location of offices. 5 The Subsidiary Banks are also subject to the requirements of the Community Reinvestment Act (the "CRA"). The CRA imposes on financial institutions an affirmative and ongoing obligation to meet the credit needs of the local communities, including low- and moderate-income neighborhoods, consistent with the safe and sound operation of those institutions. Each financial institution's efforts in meeting community credit needs currently are evaluated as part of the examination process pursuant to twelve assessment factors. These factors also are considered in evaluating mergers, acquisitions and applications to open a branch or facility. As an institution with deposits insured by the BIF, the Bank also is subject to insurance assessments imposed by the FDIC. There is a base assessment for all institutions. In addition, the FDIC has implemented a risk-based assessment schedule, imposing assessments ranging from zero to 0.27% of an institution's average assessment base. The actual assessment to be paid by each BIF member is based on the institution's assessment risk classification, which is determined based on whether the institution is considered "well capitalized," "adequately capitalized" or "undercapitalized," as such terms have been defined in applicable federal regulations, and whether such institution is considered by its supervisory agency to be financially sound or to have supervisory concerns. In 2001, the Company paid only the base assessment rate through the Subsidiary Banks which amounted to $130,286 in deposit insurance premiums. Other Safety and Soundness Regulations The federal banking agencies have broad powers under current federal law to make prompt corrective action to resolve problems of insured depository institutions. The extent of these powers depends upon whether the institutions in question are "well capitalized," "adequately capitalized," "undercapitalized," "significantly undercapitalized" or "critically undercapitalized." All such terms are defined under uniform regulations defining such capital levels issued by each of the federal banking agencies. The Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act of 1999 The Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act of 1999 ("GLBA") was signed into law on November 12, 1999. The main purpose of GLBA is to permit greater affiliations within the financial services industry, primarily banking, securities and insurance. The provisions of GLBA that are believed to be of most significance to the Company are discussed below. GLBA repeals sections 20 and 32 of the Glass-Steagall Act, which separated commercial banking from investment banking, and substantially amends the BHCA, which limited the ability of bank holding companies to engage in the securities and insurance businesses. To achieve this purpose, GLBA creates a new type of company, the "financial holding company." A financial holding company may engage in or acquire companies that engage in a broad range of financial services, including 6 . securities activities such as underwriting, dealing, brokerage, investment and merchant banking; and . insurance underwriting, sales and brokerage activities. A bank holding company may elect to become a financial holding company only if all of its depository institution subsidiaries are well-capitalized, well-managed and have at least a satisfactory Community Reinvestment Act rating. For various reasons, the Company has not elected to be treated as a financial holding company under GLBA. GLBA establishes a system of functional regulation under which the federal banking agencies will regulate the banking activities of financial holding companies and banks' financial subsidiaries, the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") will regulate their securities activities and state insurance regulators will regulate their insurance activities. GLBA and certain new regulations issued by federal banking agencies also provide new protections against the transfer and use by financial institutions of consumers nonpublic personal information. A financial institution must provide to its customers, at the beginning of the customer relationship and annually thereafter, the institution's policies and procedures regarding the handling of customers' nonpublic personal financial information. The new privacy provisions generally prohibit a financial institution from providing a customer's personal financial information to unaffiliated third parties unless the institution discloses to the customer that the information may be so provided and the customer is given the opportunity to opt out of such disclosure. Many of GLBA's provisions, including the customer privacy protection provisions, require the Federal bank regulatory agencies and other regulatory bodies to adopt regulations to implement those respective provisions. Most of the required implementing regulations have been proposed and/or adopted by the bank regulatory agencies as of December 31, 2001. Neither the provisions of GLBA nor the act's implementing regulations as proposed or adopted have had a material impact on the Company's or the Subsidiary Banks' regulatory capital ratios (as discussed above) or ability to continue to operate in a safe and sound manner. 7 Item 2. - Properties The Company, through its subsidiaries, owns or leases buildings that are used in the normal course of business.
