“Union made further progress on our stated priorities during the third quarter and we remain on track to deliver our top tier financial performance metrics in the fourth quarter of 2018,” said John C. Asbury, President and CEO of Union Bankshares Corporation. “Loan growth increased in each month of the quarter as we are beginning to see the impact of our commercial and industrial banking efforts on the commercial loan portfolio. Our commercial and industrial banking buildout is largely complete and our team is starting to gain traction in the market. This bodes well for the fourth quarter and more importantly, for 2019 and beyond.

“After the quarter closed, we announced our agreement to acquire Access National Corporation, which is nearly a perfect fit with our previously stated M&A strategic and financial objectives. We’re pleased with the enthusiasm about Access becoming a part of Union which substantially completes our Virginia franchise and irrefutably positions Union as Virginia’s bank. While it has been less than two weeks from the announcement, we have already stood up our integration team and work has begun to ensure a smooth transition. Having just completed the Xenith integration, this is a process we know well. We will share more about the implications of this powerful addition to our targeted financial metrics and business strategy at our investor day scheduled in New York on November 14.”

On October 5, 2018, the Company announced it has entered into a definitive merger agreement to acquire Access National Corporation (“Access”) in an all-stock transaction (the “Pending Merger”) that is expected to close in the first quarter of 2019.
