UNION BANKSHARES CORPORATION REPORTS EARNINGS

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE (Bowling Green, Virginia) — Union Bankshares Corporation (the “Company”) (NASDAQ: UBSH - News) reports net income for the second quarter ended June 30, 2009 of $953 thousand, down $3.4 million from $4.3 million for the same period a year ago. The decrease was driven by an increase in the provision for loan losses, increased Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) insurance assessments and a decline in net interest income. These were partially offset by increased profitability in the mortgage segment. The Company also incurred acquisition costs related to the announced merger with First Market Bank, FSB, expected to be consummated by year end.

Net income available to common shareholders, which deducts from net income the dividends and discount accretion on preferred stock, was $91 thousand for the quarter ended June 30, 2009. This decline represents a decrease in earnings per common share, on a diluted basis, from $0.32 to $0.01 from the prior year’s same quarter. Return on average common equity for the three months ended June 30, 2009 was 1.39%, while return on average assets was 0.15%, compared to 8.10% and 0.74%, respectively, for the same period in 2008.

Select highlights:

“This was a difficult quarter as we saw the impact of expenses related to increased provisions for loan losses typical for the tail-end of an economic downturn, the effect of increased fees and special assessments from the FDIC, plus the proposed First Market Bank merger,” said G. William Beale, President and Chief Executive Officer of Union Bankshares Corporation. “We expect our financial performance for the next few quarters to be impacted by First Market Bank deal costs, FDIC assessments and loan loss provisions reflecting the performance of our local economy.

There are some positives to report. Union Mortgage is having a record year driven by low interest rates and increased existing home sales. We saw our net interest margin increase during the second quarter and expect continued improvement in the coming quarters. Additionally, we have been able to liquidate some of our non-performing assets while minimizing losses.”

On a linked quarter basis, net income of $953 thousand for the quarter ended June 30, 2009 declined $800 thousand from $1.7 million for the first quarter ended March 31, 2009. Net income available to common shareholders, which deducts from net income the dividends and discount accretion on preferred stock, was $91 thousand for the current quarter compared to $985 thousand from the most recent quarter. This represents a decline in earnings per share, on a diluted basis, of $0.06, from $0.07 to $0.01. The second quarter results were largely attributable to increased provision for loan losses and increased FDIC insurance assessments, partially offset by increased net interest income and income from the mortgage segment. Continued historically low interest rates helped drive increased profitability in the mortgage segment during the quarter.

As a supplement to U. S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), the Company also uses certain alternate financial measures to review its operating performance. Diluted earnings per share on a cash basis for the quarter ended June 30, 2009 were $0.09 as compared to $0.35 for the same quarter a year ago and $0.15 for the quarter ended March 31, 2009. Additionally, cash basis return on average tangible common equity for the quarter ended June 30, 2009 was 3.29% as compared to 12.64% in the prior year’s same quarter and 5.42% for the quarter ended March 31, 2009.

NET INTEREST INCOME

The decline in the target Federal funds rate since last year (from 2.00% to a range of 0% to 0.25%) continued to put significant pressure on the Company’s net interest margin and related net interest income during the second quarter. The asset sensitive positioning of the Company’s balance sheet combined with the previously mentioned interest rate declines have caused interest-earning assets to reprice faster than the Company’s interest-bearing deposits. While this positioning is expected to benefit the Company when interest rates (e.g., Prime rate, Federal funds rate) begin to rise, it will continue to negatively impact the margin in the interim.

For the six months ended June 30, 2009, the Federal Open Market Committee (“FOMC”) maintained the target range for the Federal funds rate at 0% to 0.25% and expects that the Federal funds rate will likely remain exceptionally low for an extended period. Additionally, the FOMC agreed to continue using liquidity and asset-purchase programs to support the functioning of financial markets and stimulate the economy. The Company should benefit from an exceptionally low Federal funds rate through lower borrowing costs and transaction deposit rates, which are generally priced off the short-end of the yield curve.

For the three months ended June 30, 2009, net interest income, on a tax-equivalent basis, decreased $996 thousand, or 4.8%, to $19.6 million compared to the same period last year. This decrease was attributable to the decline in interest-earning asset yields outpacing the decline in costs of interest-bearing liabilities, resulting in a reduction in the net interest margin of 62 basis points, from 3.92% to 3.30%. Yields on interest-earning assets declined 95 basis points driven predominantly by lower loan yields and excess liquidity at the Federal Reserve Bank yielding only 0.25%. Costs of interest-bearing liabilities declined only 33 basis points over the same time, principally as a result of lower costs on certificates of deposit and lower Federal Home Loan Bank of Atlanta (“FHLB”) advances.

Average money market volumes increased $235 million from this same time last year, of which approximately $181 million relates to new volume resulting from the Company’s money market promotion. The money market promotion provided customers who opened these accounts a 3% yield through June 30, 2009. Following expiration of the offer, yields for these money market deposits adjusted to the Company’s regular money market rates, which at the time were 1.60% or lower. Compared to June 30, 2008, liquidity generated by this promotion allowed the Company to reduce reliance on other borrowings by approximately $56.5 million and not to reissue any brokered certificates of deposit which had totaled approximately $40 million. It is expected that the repricing of these money market accounts will positively impact the net interest margin beginning in the third quarter.

On a linked quarter basis, tax-equivalent net interest income increased $1.0 million, or 5.5%, to $19.6 million. The tax-equivalent net interest margin increased 8 basis points to 3.30% from 3.22% from the most recent quarter. The net interest margin increase was partially attributable to a steeper decline in costs on interest-bearing liabilities as compared to the yields of interest-earning assets. Yields on interest-earning assets declined 6 basis points to 5.53% while the costs of interest-bearing liabilities declined 14 basis points to 2.63%. The decline in interest-earning asset yields was attributable to lower investment security yields, reduced loan demand and, to a lesser extent, an increase in nonaccrual loans. Excess funds not utilized due to lower loan demand have been deployed into taxable investment securities having yields lower than loans, but greater than alternative Fed Funds sold or Federal Reserve Bank investment options. Improvements in the cost of funds were principally a result of declining costs on certificates of deposit and money market savings accounts.

For the six months ended June 30, 2009, tax-equivalent net interest income decreased $2.3 million, or 5.5%, to $38.3 million. The tax-equivalent net interest margin decreased 63 basis points to 3.26% from 3.89% compared to the prior year. The net interest margin decrease was partially attributable to a steeper decline in yields on interest-earning assets as compared to the costs of interest-bearing liabilities. Yields on interest-earning assets declined 112 basis points to 5.56% while the costs of interest-bearing liabilities declined only 53 basis points to 2.70%. The decline in interest-earning asset yields was attributable to lower yields and demand for loans in a declining rate environment, and to a lesser extent, an increase in nonaccrual loans. The decline in the cost of interest-bearing liabilities was attributable to declines in the cost of certificates of deposit, lower volumes and costs of FHLB advances partially offset by increased volumes in promotional money market savings accounts.

On September 29, 2008, because of significant disruption and uncertainty in the financial markets, the Company borrowed $50 million in an FHLB advance at a rate of 3.52% with a maturity of September 28, 2009. Also, during the fourth quarter of 2008, the FOMC lowered the Federal funds target from 2.0% to a range of 0% to 0.25%. At that time, the Company considered the FHLB advance to be a contingency plan against unforeseen and unprecedented market movements. The earnings spread between the advance and the corresponding short-term investment yield was negative and consequently has had an unfavorable impact on the Company’s net interest margin. The expected repayment of this advance during the third quarter is expected to favorably impact the net interest margin.

ASSET QUALITY/LOAN LOSS PROVISION

Industry concerns regarding asset quality, precipitated by subprime mortgage lending, declining real estate activity and general economic conditions, continued during the second quarter. These issues are impacting the markets in which the Company operates, mainly by slowing real estate activity and adding to the general economic uncertainty. The risk and performance of the Company’s loan portfolio are reflective of the relatively stable markets in which it operates. While these markets have experienced slow economic activity, they remain in much better condition than the well-publicized markets in Arizona, Florida, California and other states where the Company does not lend and does not have loan loss exposure. The Company’s loan portfolio also does not include exposure to subprime mortgage loans.

During the current quarter and for the year, the Company continued to experience deterioration in asset quality and anticipates there may be additional softening in the near-term. The Company has a significant concentration in real estate loans. Residential acquisition and development lending and builder/construction lending have been scaled back as housing activity across our markets has declined. While this softening negatively impacts delinquency and nonperforming asset levels, the collateralized nature of real estate loans serves to better protect the Company from loss.

Necessary resources are being devoted to the ongoing review of the portfolio and the workouts of problem assets to minimize any loss to the Company. Management will continue to monitor delinquencies, risk rating changes, charge-offs, market trends and other indicators of risk in the Company’s portfolio, particularly those tied to residential and commercial real estate, and adjust the allowance for loan losses accordingly.

Net charge-offs were $2.9 million, or 0.63% of loans on an annualized basis, for the quarter ended June 30, 2009, compared to net charge-offs of $478 thousand, or 0.11%, in the same quarter last year and $922 thousand, or 0.20 %, for the quarter ended March 31, 2009. Net charge-offs in the current quarter included construction loans of $1.8 million, credit cards of $330 thousand, indirect auto loans of $283 thousand, commercial loans of $221 thousand, home equity loans of $165 thousand and the remaining $101 thousand principally related to consumer loan charge-offs. At June 30, 2009, total past due loans were $27.9 million, or 1.49% of total loans, up from 0.62% a year ago, but down from 1.93% at March 31, 2009.

At June 30, 2009, nonperforming assets totaled $52.3 million, an increase of $39.4 million from a year ago and $13.1 million from March 31, 2009. The increases in 2009 and 2008 relate principally to loans in the real estate development and housing sector, including construction related businesses. The net increase in the current quarter of $13.1 million was primarily related to one residential real estate development project. The increase in nonperforming loans has reduced the coverage of these assets as a percentage of the allowance for loan losses from 178% at June 30, 2008 to 79% at June 30, 2009.

Nonperforming assets include $37.6 million in nonperforming loans. This total includes land development loans of $13.3 million, residential real estate loans of $9.1 million, commercial real estate loans of $9.0 million, commercial and industrial loans of $3.1 million, land loans of $1.2 million, and other loans totaling $1.9 million. Historically, and particularly in the current economic environment, the Company seeks to work with its customers on loan collection matters while taking appropriate actions to minimize any losses. These loans are closely monitored and evaluated for collection with appropriate loss reserves established where necessary.

Nonperforming assets also include $14.7 million in other real estate owned. This total includes land of $8.0 million, residential real estate of $2.9 million, land development loans of $1.6 million, commercial real estate of $1.0 million and land for development of bank branch sites of $1.0 million. Foreclosed properties have been adjusted to their fair values at the time of foreclosure and any losses have been taken as loan charge-offs against the allowance for loan losses. Other real estate owned asset valuations are also evaluated at least quarterly in accordance with SFAS No. 144, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets,” and any necessary write down to fair value is recorded as an impairment. During the second quarter of 2009, $48 thousand was recorded as an impairment related to residential real estate. The year to date total impairment for other real estate owned was $62 thousand and related to one residential real estate relationship.

The provision for loan losses for the quarter ended June 30, 2009 was $4.9 million, an increase of $1.8 million over the most recent quarter and $3.2 million from the same quarter a year ago. $2.0 million of the current quarter provision for loan losses related to the one residential real estate development project mentioned above. The increase in the provision for loan losses and the current levels of the allowance for loan losses reflect specific reserves related to nonperforming loans, net charge-off activity, loan growth, delinquency trends and other credit risk factors that the Company considers in assessing the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses. The allowance for loan losses as a percentage of the loan portfolio was 1.58% at June 30, 2009, 1.48% at March 31, 2009 and 1.19% and 1.36% for the periods ending June 30, 2008 and December 31, 2008, respectively.

NONINTEREST INCOME

For the three months ended June 30, 2009, noninterest income increased $1.6 million, or 21.2%, to $9.3 million from the second quarter of 2008. Of this increase, gains on sales of loans in the mortgage segment increased $2.0 million related to higher origination volume. Also, other operating income increased $84 thousand and investment securities gains increased $8 thousand. Partially offsetting these increases were declines in service charges on deposit accounts and other fee income of $224 thousand and $217 thousand, respectively. These declines were predominantly the result of lower overdraft and returned check charges and fewer annuity sales than a year ago. Also contributing to the decline in noninterest income were losses recognized on the sale of other real estate owned of $35 thousand. Excluding the contribution from the mortgage segment, noninterest income declined $370 thousand, or 8.1%, and was primarily related to lower service charges on deposit accounts and other account fees.

On a linked quarter basis, noninterest income increased $1.9 million, or 26.5%, to $9.3 million from $7.3 million at March 31, 2009. Of this increase, gains on sales of loans in the mortgage segment increased $1.7 million related to higher origination volume. Also, other operating income increased $32 thousand and investment securities gains increased $12 thousand. The increase also included increases in service charges on deposit accounts and other fee income of $109 thousand and $77 thousand, respectively. These were predominately the result of increases in overdraft and return check fees and debit card income over the prior quarter. Excluding the contribution of the mortgage segment, noninterest income increased $212 thousand, or 5.3%, and primarily related to higher service charges on deposit accounts and other fee income.

For the six months ended June 30, 2009, noninterest income increased $1.6 million, or 10.7%, to $16.6 million from $15.0 million for the same period in 2008. Of this increase, gains on sales of loans in the mortgage segment increased $2.5 million related to higher origination volume. Partially offsetting this increase were declines in service charges on deposit accounts and other fee income of $348 thousand and $266 thousand, respectively. These declines were predominantly the result of lower overdraft fees and returned check charges ($432 thousand), brokerage commissions ($163 thousand), annuity sales ($128 thousand), third party exchange fee income related to official checks ($114 thousand) and debit card income ($110 thousand) partially offset by increased ATM income ($247 thousand) and service charges on commercial accounts ($116 thousand). During the same period in 2008, the Company recorded gains of $127 thousand from the sale of bank owned real estate and $198 thousand relating to the mandatory redemption of certain classes of common stock to financial institution members of Visa U.S.A. Excluding the contribution of the mortgage segment and prior period gain transactions, noninterest income declined $508 thousand, or 5.9%, principally as a result of the aforementioned lower service charges on deposit accounts and other fee income.

NONINTEREST EXPENSE

For the three months ended June 30, 2009, noninterest expense increased $2.3 million, or 11.6%, to $22.4 million compared to the second quarter of 2008. Other operating expenses increased $2.8 million. Of this increase, FDIC insurance assessment premiums were $1.9 million and were comprised of a special insurance assessment of $1.2 million and an increase in the regular insurance assessment of $720 thousand. Acquisition costs associated with the proposed merger of First Market Bank, FSB were $363 thousand. Other costs contributing to the increase were higher legal expenses of $225 thousand relating to the Company’s problem loan workouts and collection, and increased marketing and advertising costs of $171 thousand principally relating to a centennial celebration for a bank affiliate and other advertising campaigns. Salaries and benefits decreased $407 thousand. Driving the decline were lower payroll expense of $388 thousand, lower profit sharing expense of $371 thousand and lower incentive compensation of $255 thousand, partially offset by higher commission expense in the mortgage segment of $658 thousand relating to increased loan origination volume. Furniture and equipment expense decreased $70 thousand and occupancy expenses increased $16 thousand. Excluding mortgage segment operations, increased FDIC special insurance assessment and acquisition related expenses, noninterest expense increased approximately $214 thousand, or 1.3%, primarily related to higher FDIC regular insurance assessments, legal expenses and marketing expenses, partially offset by lower payroll expenses.

On a linked quarter basis, noninterest expense increased $2.4 million, or 12.2%, to $22.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2009. Other operating expenses increased $2.3 million. Of this increase, FDIC insurance assessment premiums were $1.6 million and were comprised of a special insurance assessment of $1.2 million and an increase in the regular insurance assessment of $361 thousand. Acquisition costs associated with the proposed merger of First Market Bank, FSB increased $85 thousand to $363 thousand in the second quarter compared to $278 thousand in the first quarter. Other costs contributing to the increase were increased legal expenses related to the Company’s problem loan workouts and collection activities of $124 thousand, and increased marketing and advertising costs of $270 thousand principally related to a centennial celebration for a bank affiliate and other advertising campaigns. Salary and benefit expense increased $197 thousand, or 1.8%, which included higher commissions in the mortgage segment, partially offset by lower profit sharing and awards and incentive costs. Occupancy expense and furniture and equipment expense declined $62 thousand and $47 thousand, respectively. Excluding mortgage segment operations, increased FDIC special insurance assessment and acquisition related expenses, noninterest expense increased approximately $311 thousand, or 1.9%, primarily related to higher FDIC regular insurance assessments, marketing expenses and legal expenses, offset by lower profit sharing, awards and incentive costs and payroll expenses.

For the six months ended June 30, 2009, noninterest expense increased $2.3 million, or 5.8 %, to $42.3 million compared to $40.0 million for the six month period ended June 30, 2008. Other operating expenses increased $3.1 million. Of this increase, FDIC insurance assessment premiums were $2.5 million and were comprised of a special insurance assessment of $1.2 million and an increase in the regular insurance assessment of $1.3 million. Acquisition costs associated with the proposed merger of First Market Bank, FSB were $641 thousand in 2009. Other costs contributing to the increase were higher legal expenses of $330 thousand relating to the Company’s problem loan workouts and collection activities, and increased marketing and advertising costs of $184 thousand principally related to a centennial celebration for a bank affiliate and other advertising campaigns. Costs for maintaining an increased portfolio of other real estate owned increased $106 thousand from $4 thousand in the same period last year. Offsetting higher expenses were lower salary and benefit costs of $792 thousand, primarily due to lower profit sharing and incentive compensation, partially offset by higher commission expense in the mortgage segment related to strong origination volume in 2009. Furniture and equipment expenses declined $126 thousand, or 5.0%, and occupancy expenses increased $105 thousand, or 3.1%. Excluding mortgage segment operations, increased FDIC special insurance assessment, acquisition related expenses and prior year conversion costs related to merging affiliate banks, noninterest expense increased approximately $287 thousand, or 0.9%, primarily due to higher FDIC regular insurance assessments, occupancy expenses, marketing expenses and legal expenses, partially offset by lower salaries and benefits expenses.

During the first quarter of 2009, to replenish the Deposit Insurance Fund (“DIF”), the FDIC approved a final rule to impose a special insurance assessment of 5 basis points calculated on each bank’s total assets minus Tier 1 capital. The special insurance assessment was billed on June 30, payable on September 30 and recorded as a second quarter expense for all financial institutions. During the second quarter of 2009, the Company expensed $1.2 million related to the FDIC special insurance assessment. The special insurance assessment is in addition to the regular quarterly risk-based assessment. The assessment base for regular quarterly insurance assessments was not changed. The rule also authorizes the FDIC to impose an additional special insurance assessment of up to 5 basis points later in 2009 if additional replenishment of the DIF is needed. The FDIC indicates that this additional special insurance assessment is probable but the amount is uncertain.

For the six months ended June 30, 2009, acquisition costs associated with the proposed merger of First Market Bank, FSB, expected to be consummated by year end, were $641 thousand and are reported as a component of “Other operating expenses” within the Company’s “Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income.” These costs were predominantly legal and due diligence costs. The Company expects to incur additional acquisition costs both prior to and after the consummation of the merger.

BALANCE SHEET

At June 30, 2009, total assets were $2.6 billion compared to $2.4 billion and $2.6 billion at June 30, 2008 and December 31, 2008, respectively. Net loans increased $39.8 million, or 2.2%, from June 30, 2008 and declined $6.7 million compared to December 31, 2008. The year over year increase in loan growth was concentrated in commercial and home equity loan portfolios, partially offset by a decline in construction loans. On a linked quarter basis, net loans decreased $2.4 million and the Company’s mortgage segment increased loans held for sale by $30.1 million. Total cash and cash equivalents were $80.3 million and increased $13.5 million from $66.8 million at June 30, 2008 and decreased $68.1 million from $148.5 million at December 31, 2008. The decline from December 31, 2008 is principally a function of reducing brokered certificates of deposits to zero from $66.7 million as well as redeploying cash into higher yielding investment securities. Deposits increased $210.5 million, or 11.8%, from a year ago primarily due to increases in money market savings accounts. The Company reduced brokered certificates of deposit to zero at June 30, 2009, down from $40 million at June 30, 2008. Total borrowings, including repurchase agreements, decreased $54.0 million from June 30, 2008 to $322.5 million at June 30, 2009. The Company’s equity to assets ratio was 10.49% and 8.91% at June 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively.

Proceeds of $59 million from the issuance of the Company’s Fixed Rate Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock added additional capital of $10 million to bank affiliates during the fourth quarter of 2008. Since December 31, 2008, these funds have generally been invested with the Federal Reserve Bank as liquidity for anticipated lending activity, earning a nominal yield. During the second quarter of 2009 the Company began to redeploy some of this excess liquidity into short-term investment securities in order to obtain a more attractive return than Fed funds.

While not immune from the effects of weakening economic conditions, management remains focused on maintaining adequate levels of liquidity and capital during this challenging environment and believes its sound risk management practices in underwriting and lending will enable it to successfully weather this period of economic uncertainty.

SEGMENT INFORMATION

Mortgage Segment

For the three months ended June 30, 2009, the mortgage segment net income increased $1.1 million to $1.2 million from $88 thousand for the same quarter in 2008. Originations increased 71.4% from the same period last year, resulting in an increase in loan revenue of $2.0 million, or 62.5%. Increased originations are principally attributable to historically low mortgage rates that have produced a surge in refinance volume. Loan-related expenses, including early payoff and early payment defaults attributable to current economic conditions, totaled $112 thousand during the period. Total noninterest expenses increased $568 thousand. Salaries and benefits increased $635 thousand primarily related to commission expenses on the increased loan volume. Other operating expenses increased $41 thousand principally due to higher underwriting fees related to loan volume and marketing and advertising in 2009. Occupancy, furniture and equipment expenses declined $80 thousand and $29 thousand, respectively, principally due to the nonrenewal of certain leased office locations.

On a linked quarter basis, mortgage segment net income increased $679 thousand to $1.2 million from $486 thousand in the first quarter of 2009. Originations increased 39.9% from the most recent quarter, resulting in an increase in loan revenue of $1.7 million, or 50.3%, due to attractive mortgage rates, strong refinance loan volume and lower median residential housing prices. Salaries and benefits increased $811 thousand as the result of the increase in commissions related to loan originations. Other operating expenses increased $55 thousand and included higher credit bureau fees, underwriting fees and other loan expenses related to loan volume. Occupancy expense and furniture and equipment expenses decreased $23 thousand and $4 thousand, respectively, principally due to the nonrenewal of certain leased office locations.

For the six months ended June 30, 2009, mortgage segment net income increased $1.6 million from $58 thousand to $1.7 million. Originations increased 58.3% from the same period last year, resulting in an increase in loan revenue of $2.4 million, or 39.5%. Salaries and benefits increased $646 thousand principally due to commission expenses related to increased loan originations. Occupancy costs decreased $125 thousand and furniture and equipment costs decreased $68 thousand, both related to the nonrenewal of certain leased office locations.
