EXPLANATORY NOTE

 

DEREGISTRATION OF SECURITIES

 

Access National Corporation (the “Company”) is filing these post-effective amendments to the following registration statements (each, a “Registration Statement,” and together, the “Registration Statements”) filed by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) to deregister all shares of common stock, par value $0.835 per share, of the Company (the “Common Stock”) and plan interests, as applicable, that had been registered for issuance under the Registration Statements and that remain unsold thereunder:

 

  (1) Registration Statement on Form S-8 (No. 333-114897), which was filed with the SEC on April 27, 2004 to register 975,000 shares of Common Stock reserved for future issuance under the Access National Corporation 1999 Stock Option Plan (As Restated Effective April 22, 2003);

 

  (2) Registration Statement on Form S-8 (No. 333-118771), which was filed with the SEC on September 2, 2004 to register 250,000 shares of Common Stock and an indeterminate amount of plan interests reserved for future issuance under the Access National Corporation Profit Sharing Plan (as restated April 1, 2017) (the “Access Profit Sharing Plan”);

 

  (3) Registration Statement on Form S-8 (No. 333-160867), which was filed with the SEC on July 29, 2009 to register 975,000 shares of Common Stock reserved for future issuance under the Access National Corporation 2009 Stock Option Plan; and

 

  (4) Registration Statement on Form S-8 (No. 333-222443), which was filed with the SEC on January 5, 2018 to register 1,500,000 shares of Common Stock reserved for future issuance under the Access National Corporation 2017 Equity Compensation Plan.

 

On December 23, 2005, the Company issued a 2 for 1 stock split. The authorized shares of Common Stock increased from 30,000,000 to 60,000,000 and par value decreased from $1.67 to $0.835 per share. The share amounts listed above for Registration Statements No. 333-114897 and No. 333-118771 are presented on a pre-split basis and do not reflect the stock split.

 

Pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Reorganization, dated as of October 4, 2018, as amended on December 7, 2018, between the Company and Union Bankshares Corporation (“Union”), effective on February 1, 2019, the Company merged with and into Union (the “Merger”), with Union as the surviving corporation and successor-by-merger to the plan sponsor of the Access Profit Sharing Plan.

 

In connection with the Merger, the Company has terminated all offers and sales of its securities registered pursuant to its existing registration statements under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, including the Registration Statements. In accordance with undertakings made by the Company to remove from registration, by means of a post-effective amendment, any of the securities which remain unsold at the termination of the offerings, the Company hereby removes from registration any and all securities registered but unsold under the Registration Statements as of the date hereof.
