Item 1. Security and Issuer.

The title and class of equity securities to which this Schedule 13D relates is the common stock, par value $1.33 per share (the “Shares”), of Union First Market Bankshares Corporation, a Virginia corporation (formerly Union Bankshares Corporation, the “Issuer”). The address of the principal executive offices of the Issuer is 111 Virginia Street, Suite 200, Richmond, VA 23219.

 

Item 2. Identity and Background.

(a), (b), (c) and (f). This Schedule 13D is being filed by James E. Ukrop (“James”), Robert S. Ukrop (“Robert”), Ukrop’s Thrift Holdings, Inc. (“Thrift”), Ukrop’s Super Markets, Inc. (“Ukrop’s”) and Ukrop’s Services L.C. (“Services,” and together with James, Robert, Thrift and Ukrop’s the “Reporting Persons”).

James is a United States citizen who serves as a director of the Issuer.

Robert is a United States citizen whose principal occupation is chairman, president and chief executive officer of Ukrop’s. Robert is the brother of James.

Each of James and Robert is a Managing Member of Services. Services is a Virginia limited liability company currently not engaged in any operating activities.

James is a director and chairman of Thrift and Robert is president, chief operating officer and a board member of Thrift. Thrift is a Virginia corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Ukrop’s. Thrift currently is not engaged in any operating activities. Robert is the chairman, president and chief executive officer of Ukrop’s, and each of James and Robert is a controlling shareholder of Ukrop’s. Ukrop’s has a wholly owned operating subsidiary engaged in the business of manufacturing and supplying prepared foods.

The business address of the Reporting Persons other than James is 2001 Maywill Street, Suite 100, Richmond, VA 23230. The business address of James is 111 Virginia Street, Suite 200, Richmond, VA 23219.

Executive Officers and Directors: in accordance with the provisions of General Instruction C to Schedule 13D, information concerning executive officers and directors of Services, Thrift, and Ukrop’s (other than James and Robert) is included in Schedule A hereto and is incorporated by reference herein.

(d) and (e) During the last five years, none of the Reporting Persons, and to the best knowledge of the Reporting Persons, none of the persons set forth on Schedule A: (i) has been convicted in a criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations or similar misdemeanors); or (ii) was a party to a civil proceeding of a judicial or administrative body of competent jurisdiction and as a result of such proceeding was or is subject to a judgment, decree or final order enjoining future violations of, or prohibiting or mandating activities subject to, federal or state securities laws or finding any violation with respect to such laws.


Item 3. Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration.

Effective February 1, 2010, First Market Bank (“First Market”) merged with and into a newly formed wholly owned interim bank subsidiary of the Issuer (“Acquisition Bank”), with Acquisition Bank surviving as a direct wholly owned subsidiary of the Issuer (the “Merger”). As a result of the Merger, each share of First Market common stock automatically converted into the right to receive 6,273.259 shares of common stock (“Shares”) of the Issuer. Each of the Reporting Persons, as a shareholder of First Market, received Shares of the Issuer in the Merger. Prior to the Merger James was the chairman of First Market, and at the closing of the Merger, James was named as a director of the Issuer.

 

Item 4. Purpose of Transaction.

The Reporting Persons intend to hold for investment the Shares that they own and have no present plans to acquire additional Shares, or to dispose of any Shares, but reserve the right to buy or sell from time to time.

In connection with the completion of the Merger, the Reporting Persons committed to the Federal Reserve Bank of Richmond not to exercise or attempt to exercise a controlling influence over the management or policies of the Issuer or any of its Subsidiaries (the “Passivity Commitment”). As a result of the Passivity Commitment, the Reporting Persons may not have any plans or proposals which relate to, or would result in, any one or more of the matters described in Items 4(a)-(j) of Schedule 13D.

James currently serves on the board of directors of the Issuer. As a director, James may have influence over the corporate activity of the Issuer, including activity which may relate to transactions described in subparagraphs (a) through (j) of this Item 4 to Schedule 13D.

 

Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer.

(a) As of February 11, 2010, the aggregate number of Shares and the percentage of the outstanding Shares of the Issuer beneficially owned by each of the Reporting Persons is as follows:

James is the record holder of 279,442 Shares and an indirect beneficial owner of 56,207 Shares held in a revocable trust. Robert is the record holder of 279,442 Shares and an indirect beneficial owner of 46,674 Shares held in a revocable trust. Thrift is the record holder of 3,073,896 Shares and Services is the record holder of 125,465 Shares.


Both Robert and James may be deemed to be the indirect beneficial owners of 2,848 Shares held in a trust for the benefit of one of Robert’s children, as co-trustees for the trust. Robert may be deemed to be the indirect beneficial owner of 14,854 Shares held in two trusts for the benefit of two of his children and for which Robert’s wife serves as trustee. Robert may be deemed to be the indirect beneficial owner of 2,848 Shares held in a trust for the benefit of one of his children and for which he serves as trustee.

Ukrop’s may be deemed to beneficially own 3,073,896 Shares as the sole shareholder of Thrift.

James may be deemed to beneficially own the 3,073,896 Shares held by Thrift as a control person of Ukrop’s and as chairman and director of Thrift. Robert may be deemed to beneficially own the 3,073,896 Shares held by Thrift as a control person, director and executive officer of Ukrop’s and as a director and executive officer of Thrift.

James and Robert each may be deemed to beneficially own the 125,465 Shares held by Services as co-managers and co-members of Services.

Based on 25,896,839 Shares issued and outstanding as of February 1, 2010, as reported by the Issuer to the Reporting Persons, (1) James may be deemed to beneficially own 13.66% of the outstanding Shares, (2) Robert may be deemed to beneficially own 13.68% of the outstanding Shares, (3) Thrift and Ukrop’s may be deemed to beneficially own 11.87% of the outstanding Shares, and (4) Services may be deemed to beneficially own 0.48% of the outstanding Shares.

Each of the Reporting Persons disclaims beneficial ownership of the securities held by others, including the other Reporting Persons, except to the extent of such Reporting Person’s pecuniary interest therein, if any.
