PROPOSED MERGER – YOUR VOTE IS VERY IMPORTANT

Dear Fellow Shareholders:

We are pleased to report that the board of directors of Union Bankshares Corporation has unanimously approved a strategic merger with First Market Bank that will create the largest independent community banking organization headquartered in Virginia. We are sending you this document to ask you, as a UBSH shareholder, to vote in favor of certain merger related matters.

The combined company, which will change its name to [“Union First Market Bankshares Corporation”], will have assets of over $4 billion, a strong capital base and 97 branches with a strong presence in high growth markets. We believe the combined company will be well positioned to achieve strong financial performance and increase shareholder value through a balanced business mix, greater scale and enhanced efficiencies and competitiveness. In the proposed merger, First Market will merge with and into a newly-formed interim bank subsidiary of UBSH, and the continuing bank will operate under the name First Market Bank until such time as Union Bank and Trust Company, a wholly-owned subsidiary of UBSH, merges into the continuing bank and the combined bank operates under the new name,                                         .

Upon completion of the proposed merger, we estimate that the current UBSH shareholders will own approximately 65% of the combined company and the First Market shareholders will own approximately 35% of the combined company. In the merger, the First Market shareholders will receive 6,273.259 shares of UBSH common stock for each share of First Market common stock. In addition, each share of First Market’s Series A 9% Non-Cumulative Preferred Stock will be converted into the number of shares of UBSH common stock that is equal to the quotient determined by dividing $100,000 (the stock’s liquidation preference) by the 10-day average trading price of UBSH common stock as of the fifth business day before the closing, provided that the average trading price will not be more than $16.89 or less than $12.89. UBSH shareholders will continue to own their existing shares, which will not be affected by the merger.

Your vote is important. We are holding a special meeting of our shareholders to obtain approval of the issuance of up to approximately 7.5 million shares of our common stock in the merger and the change in our corporate name to [Union First Market Bankshares Corporation]. We urge you to read carefully this entire proxy statement, which includes important information about the merger. You should also carefully consider the information in the “Risk Factors” section beginning on page [        ].

Whether or not you plan to attend the special meeting, it is important that your shares be represented at the meeting and your vote recorded. Please take the time to vote by completing and mailing the enclosed proxy card. Even if you return the proxy, you may attend the special meeting and vote your shares in person.

The UBSH board of directors unanimously recommends that you vote FOR the proposals to issue shares to First Market shareholders in the merger and to change the corporate name.

Thank you for your support.

In addition, each share of FMB’s Series A preferred stock will be converted into the number of shares of common stock of the combined company that is equal to the quotient determined by dividing $100,000 (the stock’s liquidation preference) by the 10-day average trading price of UBSH common stock as of the fifth business day before closing, provided that average trading price will not be more than $16.89 or less than $12.89.

Recommendation of the UBSH Board of Directors (page       )

The UBSH board of directors unanimously recommends that UBSH shareholders vote FOR the proposal to issue shares of common stock to FMB shareholders in the merger, FOR the proposal to change the name of UBSH to [“Union First Market Bankshares Corporation”], and FOR the proposal to adjourn or postpone the meeting to a later date or dates, if necessary.

Opinions of UBSH’s Financial Advisors (page       )

UBSH engaged the firm of Keefe, Bruyette & Woods, Inc. (“KBW”) to review the proposed merger and provide a fairness opinion. KBW has given its opinion to the UBSH board that, as of March 30, 2009, the exchange ratio provided for in the merger agreement was fair from a financial point of view to UBSH shareholders. A copy of the fairness opinion, setting forth the information reviewed, assumptions made, and matters considered by KBW, is attached to this proxy statement as Annex B. We encourage you to read carefully the entire opinion of KBW. The opinion of KBW has not been updated prior to the date of this proxy statement and does not reflect any change in circumstances after March 30, 2009.

KBW’s opinion as to the fairness, from a financial point of view, of the exchange ratio to UBSH was provided to the UBSH board of directors in connection with its evaluation of the exchange ratio from a financial point of view, does not address any other aspect of the merger and does not constitute a recommendation to any shareholder as to how to vote or act with respect to the merger.

Interests of Certain Persons in the Merger (page       )

Certain members of UBSH’s management, as well as certain members of the UBSH board of directors, have interests in the merger in addition to their interests as shareholders of UBSH. These interests include new positions with or appointment to the board of directors of the combined company or the combined bank. The UBSH board was aware of these potential interests and considered them, among other matters, in approving the merger agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby. See “The Merger – Interests of Directors and Executive Officers in the Merger.”

Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences to Holders of UBSH Common Stock (page       )

The merger will not result in the recognition of gain or loss for U.S. federal income tax purposes by holders of UBSH common stock.

Dissenters’ and Appraisal Rights (page       )

Regulatory Approvals (page       )

We cannot complete the merger unless it is approved by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System and the Virginia State Corporation Commission. On                     , 2009, UBSH filed the required applications with the Federal Reserve and the Virginia State Corporation Commission.

As of the date of this proxy statement, we have not yet received the required approvals. While we do not know of any reason why we would not be able to obtain the necessary approvals in a timely manner, we cannot be certain when or if we will receive them.

Conditions to Completion of the Merger (page       )

Our respective obligations to complete the merger are subject to the fulfillment or waiver of certain conditions, including the following:

Where the law permits, UBSH and FMB could choose to waive a condition to its obligation to complete the merger even if that condition has not been satisfied. We cannot be certain when, or if, the conditions to the merger will be satisfied or waived or that the merger will be completed.

Timing of the Merger (page       )

We expect to complete the merger after all conditions to the merger in the merger agreement are satisfied or waived, including after shareholder approvals are received at the special meetings of UBSH and FMB and all required regulatory approvals are received. We currently expect to complete the merger during the fourth quarter of 2009. However, it is possible that factors outside of either party’s control could require us to complete the merger at a later time or not to complete it at all.

In addition, either party may terminate the merger agreement if the board of directors of the other party withdraws or modifies its recommendation to its shareholders concerning the proposals for shareholder approval under the merger agreement be approved in any way which is adverse to the non-recommending party, or the other party materially breaches its covenants requiring the calling and holding of a meeting of shareholders to consider the proposals for shareholder approval under the merger agreement.

Transition Committee (page       )

If UBSH wishes to take certain major corporate actions before the merger, prior approval is required by a transition committee comprised of the current UBSH directors and James E. Ukrop and Steven E. Markel, current FMB directors. Transition committee approval will be required before UBSH issues any securities in order to redeem its outstanding Series A preferred stock or in connection with a business acquisition, incurs any obligation or liability or encumbers or disposes any of its assets (other than in ordinary course), declares any dividend greater than that permitted under the merger agreement, adjusts or splits its common stock, redeems or repurchases shares (other than as permitted in the merger agreement) or makes any material investment or acquisition.

As of March 30, 2009, such individuals owned shares representing approximately 97% of the voting power of FMB common stock and Series A preferred stock entitled to vote at the special meeting of FMB shareholders to approve the merger.

SUMMARY UNAUDITED PRO FORMA COMBINED FINANCIAL DATA

The following summary unaudited pro forma combined financial information is designed to show how the merger might have affected historical financial statements if the merger had been completed at an earlier time and was prepared based on the historical financial results reported by UBSH and provided by FMB for use in this proxy statement. The following should be read in connection with “Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Information” beginning on page __, UBSH’s audited consolidated financial statements that are incorporated by reference into this proxy statement and FMB’s audited consolidated financial statements which begin on page F-1 of this proxy statement.

The unaudited pro forma balance sheet data assumes that the merger took place on March 31, 2009 and combines UBSH’s consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2009 with FMB’s consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2009. The unaudited pro forma statements of operations data for the three months ended March 31, 2009 and for the year ended December 31, 2008 give effect to the merger as if it occurred on January 1, 2008.

The unaudited pro forma combined financial information, while helpful in illustrating the financial characteristics of the combined company under one set of assumptions, does not reflect the benefits of expected cost savings or opportunities to earn additional revenue and, accordingly, does not attempt to predict or suggest future results. It also is not necessarily indicative of the financial condition or results of operations of future periods or the financial condition or results of operations that actually would have been realized had the companies been combined during these periods.

We expect that we will incur merger and integration charges as a result of the merger. We also anticipate that the merger will provide the combined company with financial benefits that may include reduced operating expenses and opportunities to earn additional revenue. The information set forth below, while helpful in illustrating the financial characteristics of the combined company under one set of assumptions, may not reflect all of these anticipated financial expenses and benefits and, accordingly, does not attempt to predict or suggest future results. It also does not necessarily reflect what the historical results of the combined company would have been had our companies been combined during the periods presented.

COMPARATIVE UNAUDITED PER SHARE DATA

The following table shows per common share data regarding earnings, book value, and cash dividends declared for UBSH and FMB on a historical, pro forma and pro forma equivalent basis. The pro forma and pro forma equivalent per share information was computed as if the merger had been completed on December 31, 2008 or March 31, 2009. The FMB pro forma equivalent information was calculated by multiplying the corresponding pro forma combined data by the exchange ratio of 6,273.259 to 1.0. This information shows how each share of FMB common stock would have participated in the combined companies’ net income, book value per share, and cash dividends if the merger had been completed on the relevant dates. These amounts do not necessarily reflect future per share amounts of earnings, book value per share or cash dividends of the combined company.

The following unaudited comparative per share data is derived from the historical consolidated financial statements of each of UBSH and FMB. The pro forma data does not give effect to the reduction in operating expenses and the revenue enhancement opportunities that are anticipated subsequent to the merger. Therefore, while helpful in illustrating the financial characteristics of the merger under one set of circumstances, the pro forma data is not indicative of the results of future operations or other actual results that would have occurred had the merger been consummated at the beginning of the periods presented. The information below should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes of UBSH, which are incorporated by reference into this proxy statement and the audited consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes of FMB, which begin on page F-1 of this proxy statement.
