INFORMATION REGARDING THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS AND COMMITTEES
Independence
Except for Mr. Watts, all of the Company’s directors are “independent” as defined by the listing standards of NASDAQ.
Director Nominees
FCB does not have a standing nominating committee. Instead, the full Board of Directors functions in this capacity. The Company believes that such an approach is preferable to having a nominating committee because it assures the widest possible scope in the identification and selection of potential new Board members. Because Mr. Watts is not an independent director, he does not participate in any discussions or votes regarding director nominees.
6
Under the Company’s bylaws, a stockholder may nominate a person for election as a director only if written notice of such nominee is received by FCB at least ninety (90) days in advance of the annual meeting (or seven days after receipt of notice in the event of a special meeting). Any notice with respect to a stockholder nominee for director shall set forth: (i) the name of nominee and the stockholder making the nomination; (ii) a representation that the stockholder is a stockholder of record entitled to vote at the meeting; (iii) such additional information as may be required to be included in a proxy statement under applicable rules; and (iv) the consent of the nominee to serve as a director if elected.
The Board considers a number of factors in identifying and selecting nominees for directors, including business experience and relationships within the community. Stockholder nominees, if properly presented to the Board, are not treated any differently by the Board than would a nominee identified by the Board.
The Company has not paid any fees to any third-party for identifying and evaluating any potential nominees, and no stockholder nominees were received for this annual meeting.
Communications with the Board
FCB has no formal policy or procedure governing stockholder communications with the Board or individual directors.
The Board does not believe that a formal policy is necessary because, as a community bank whose directors are all local residents and members of the local business community with numerous relationships with civic, community service, professional and other groups and associations, stockholder access to Board members is readily available. Furthermore, any communication received by the Bank and directed to the Board or an individual director will generally be passed along to such persons. To date, the Bank has not received any complaints or other indications from stockholders that a formal policy for contacting the Board or individual directors is appropriate or required.
The Company’s website also invites interested parties to contact the Company, and specifically the investor relations liaison, with any questions and/or comments about FCB matters.
Attendance at Annual Meeting
The FCB has no formal policy regarding attendance by directors at the annual meeting of the Company’s stockholders. The Company believes that no such policy is necessary because, as a community bank whose directors are all local residents and members of the local business community, the Company’s directors generally are available to attend, and look forward to attending, the annual meeting. Consistent with this belief, eleven of the Bank’s directors attended the 2006 annual meeting.
6
Board Meetings
The Board of Directors held 12 meetings during 2006 (including eight meetings of the Bank’s Board of Directors that were held prior to September 8, 2006, the effective date of the Share Exchange.

| - | Discussed with the independent auditors the matters required to be discussed by Statement on Auditing Standards No. 61 (required communication by external auditors with audit committees); |
| - | Received from the independent auditors disclosures regarding the auditors, independence required by Independence Standards Board Standard No. 1 and discussed with the auditors the auditors’ independence; and |

Debra L. Richardson is the member of the Audit Committee who meets these requirements. As noted above, Ms. Richardson is independent as defined by the listing standards of NASDAQ.

Watts, Jr., and Richard W. Wright.

Agreements with Executive Officers
The Bank has entered into an Employment Agreement dated December 20, 2000 with Mr. Watts. The Employment Agreement provides that Mr. Watts’ employment is terminable at any time by either party, except that the Bank must give Mr. Watts 30 days’ notice if it intends to terminate the agreement without “cause” (as defined therein).

In the event the Bank terminates Mr. Watts’ employment without “cause”, the Bank must pay to Mr. Watts his base salary for a period of six to 12 months, with such period to be determined by the Board of Directors. In addition, in the event Mr. Watts’ employment is terminated within nine months following a “change of control” (as defined in the agreement), Mr. Watts is entitled to receive his base salary for a period of 18 months following such termination. The agreement also prohibits Mr. Watts from competing with the Bank under certain circumstances and for various periods of time following the termination of his employment, depending on when such termination occurs and the basis for such termination. Mr. Watts’ current annual salary under the agreement is $145,000.

Stock Option Plan
On March 15, 2000 the Board of Directors of the Bank adopted the First Capital Bank 2000 Stock Option Plan (the “Plan”), which was approved by the stockholders of the Bank at the annual
10
meeting of stockholders held on May 24, 2000. The Plan originally made available up to 77,000 shares of Common Stock for the granting of stock options to employees, directors, consultants and other persons who have provided services to the Bank in the form of incentive stock options (employees only) and non-qualified stock options (collectively, “Options”). On March 19, 2003, the Board of Directors of the Bank approved an amendment to the Plan increasing the number of shares reserved for issuance upon exercise of options to be granted under the Plan by 52,170 shares. The amendment was approved by the stockholders of the Bank at the annual meeting held on May 22, 2003, as a result of which the Plan now made up to 129,170 shares available for issuance upon the exercise of options granted under the Plan. On February 16, 2005, the Board of Directors of the Bank approved an additional amendment to the Plan increasing the number of shares reserved for issuance upon exercise of options to be granted under the Plan by 26,486 shares. The amendment was approved by the stockholders of the Bank at the annual meeting held on May 18, 2005, as a result of which the Plan now makes up to 233,484 shares available for issuance upon the exercise of options granted under the Plan (after adjustment for the 3 for 2 stock that was effective December 28, 2005).
The Plan was adopted and approved as the FCB 2000 Stock Option Plan in connection with the consummation of the Share Exchange on September 8, 2006. In connection therewith, any and all options thereunder were automatically converted into options to acquire shares of stock in FCB. Unless sooner terminated, the Plan shall continue in effect for a period of ten years from the adoption of the Plan by the Board.
The Plan is administered by the Board of Directors, or a Committee thereof, which has the power to determine the persons to whom Options are to be granted. In administering the Plan, the Board of Directors or the Committee, as applicable, has the authority to determine the terms and conditions upon which Options may be made and exercised, to construe and interpret the Plan and to make all determinations and actions with respect to the Plan. Pursuant to the provisions of the Plan, the exercise price of incentive stock options awarded in the future shall not be less than the fair market value of the Bank’s Common Stock on the date the Option is granted. The exercise price of all other options awarded in the future will not be less than 85% of the fair market value of the stock on the date the option is granted. Furthermore, all Options may be subject to various vesting requirements that must first be satisfied in order for the Options to be exercisable. All Options to be granted to the executive officers and directors of FCB will be granted in accordance with Rule 16b-3 under the Exchange Act.
For more information regarding the Plan, see “Proposal No.2, Amendment to First Capital Bancorp, Inc. 2000 Stock Option Plan.”
Option Grants
There were no individual grants of stock options made during the last fiscal year to any persons named in the Summary Compensation Table. However, on January 17, 2007, Mr. Watts was granted an option to purchase 2,275 shares and Ms. Wagner was granted an option to purchase 1,500 shares. No stock options were granted during the last fiscal year to the Company’s non-employee directors.
Effective as of December 21, 2005, the Board of Directors of the Bank voted to accelerate the vesting of all outstanding options under the Plan as a result of which all such outstanding
11
options are now fully vested and exercisable. A total of 34,500 options received accelerated vesting, which included the following number of options held by the executive officers named in the compensation table: Mr. Watts – 5,075 options having a value of $34,000; Mr. Hildebrandt – 1,750 options having a market value of $13,122; and Ms. Wagner – 7,500 options having a market value of $35,450.

CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS
There are no legal proceedings to which any director, executive officer or shareholder, or any affiliate thereof, is a party that would be material and adverse to the Company.
During fiscal 2006, FCB or the Bank extended credit to certain of its Directors. All such loans were made in the ordinary course of business, were made on substantially the same terms, including interest rates and collateral, as those prevailing at the time for comparable transactions with persons not related to the Company, and did not involve more than the normal risk of collectibility or present other unfavorable features. The Company is prohibited from making loans, with the exception of residential mortgages and educational loans, to executive officers in excess of certain dollar limits fixed by federal banking laws. The balance of loans to Company directors and executive officers totaled $7.5 million at December 31, 2006, or 47.8% of the Company’s equity as of such date.
12
There are no existing or proposed transactions between FCB and its Directors outside of those contemplated in the ordinary course of its banking business. In accordance with the foregoing, FCB currently employs the law firm of Cantor Arkema, P.C. with which Grant S. Grayson, the Chairman of the Board of Directors of FCB, is affiliated, as counsel to FCB.
PROPOSAL NO. 2
APPROVAL OF AMENDMENTS TO THE
NUMBER OF SHARES RESERVED UNDER THE STOCK OPTION PLAN
On February 21, 2007, the Board of Directors of FCB amended the Company’s 2000 Stock Option Plan (the “Plan”), subject to approval by the stockholders, (i) to increase the total number of shares reserved for issuance upon exercise of options to be granted under the Plan and (ii) and to provide that employees of any subsidiaries of FCB are eligible to receive grants under the Plan. The amendments increase the total number of shares available for stock option grants by 105,000 shares to a total of 333,489 shares and (ii) changes the definition of “Company” under the Plan to include the Company’s subsidiaries. The Board believes that the Plan continues to assist FCB in employing and retaining quality personnel, and in providing incentives to employees and others whose efforts are important to the Company’s success. The proposed change to the definition of “Company” in the Plan will better enable the Plan to serve this purpose. The amendment to the number of authorized shares is being proposed because only approximately 4,834 shares are currently available for issuance under the Plan.
SUMMARY OF THE 2000 STOCK OPTION PLAN
On March 15, 2000, the Board of Directors of the Bank adopted the Plan, which was approved by the stockholders of the Bank on May 24, 2000. An amendment to the Plan increasing the number of shares available for issuance upon exercise of options to be granted under the Plan by 52,170 shares was approved by the Bank’s Board of Directors on March 19, 2003 and by the stockholders on May 22, 2003. On February 16, 2005, the Board of Directors of the Bank approved an amendment to increase the number of shares by 26,486. This amendment was approved by the Bank’s stockholders at the Annual Meeting on May 18, 2005. In connection with the consummation of the Share Exchange, the Plan became the Company’s 2000 Stock Option Plan and all options thereunder automatically became options to acquire shares of the common stock of FCB. The purpose of the Plan is to promote the success of FCB by facilitating the employment and retention of competent personnel and by furnishing incentives to employees and others upon whose efforts the success of FCB will depend to a large degree by encouraging stock ownership to increase such individuals’ proprietary interest in the success of FCB.
TERM. Unless sooner terminated in accordance with its terms, the Plan shall continue in effect for a period of ten years from the date it was adopted by the Bank’s Board of Directors.
13
ADMINISTRATION. The Plan is administered by the Board of Directors, or a committee thereof. The Plan vests broad powers in the Board, or any such committee, to administer and interpret the Plan, including the authority to select the individuals to be granted options and to prescribe the type, form and conditions of the options (which may vary from optionee to optionee). All options to be granted to the executive officers and directors of FCB will be granted in accordance with Rule 16b-3 under the Exchange Act.
ELIGIBILITY. All employees of FCB and all other persons performing services for FCB (including directors, consultants or advisors) are eligible to receive options under the Plan. FCB has 64 employees, 10 non-employee directors, and an undetermined number of advisors or consultants.
OPTIONS. When an option is granted under the Plan, the Board, or the Committee, in its discretion will specify the number of shares of common stock which may be purchased upon exercise of the option, the option price, the term of the option and whether it will be an incentive stock option (employees only) or nonqualified stock option.
The term during which the option may be exercised and whether the option will be exercisable immediately, in stages, or otherwise will be set by the Board of the Committee when the option is granted, but in no event will the term of an incentive stock option exceed ten years. Except as otherwise provided by the Board or the Committee, options shall not be transferable, voluntarily or involuntarily, except by will or applicable laws of descent and distribution. Only the optionee, optionee’s legal representative or guardian or a permitted transferee may exercise the option. The Board or the Committee may impose additional or alternative conditions and restrictions on the incentive or nonqualified stock options granted under the Plan; however, each incentive stock option must contain such limitations and restrictions upon its exercise as are necessary to ensure that the option will be an incentive stock option as defined under the Internal Revenue Code (the “Code”).
Upon exercise of an option under the Plan, the exercise price is to be paid in cash, by check or by surrender of previously acquired shares of common stock of FCB.
AMENDMENT. The Board of Directors may from time to time suspend or discontinue the Plan or revise or amend it in any respect; provided, however, that no such revision or amendment shall impair the terms and conditions of any option which is outstanding on the date of such revision or amendment to the material detriment of the optionee without the consent of the optionee. In addition, no such revision or amendment may, without the approval of the Company’s stockholders, (i) materially increase the number of shares subject to the Plan except as provided in the case of stock splits, consolidations, stock dividends or similar events; (ii) change the designation of the class of individuals eligible to receive options; or (iii) materially increase the benefits accruing to optionees under the Plan. Furthermore, the Plan may not, without approval of FCB’s stockholders, be amended in any manner which will cause the incentive stock options to fail to meet the requirements of incentive stock options as defined under the Code.
The Board or the Committee may equitably adjust the maximum number of shares of Common Stock reserved for issuance under the Plan, the number of shares covered by each outstanding option and the option price per share in the event of stock splits or consolidations, stock dividends or other transactions in which FCB receives no consideration. The Board or the Committee may also provide for the protection of optionees in the event of a merger, liquidation or reorganization of the Company.
14
FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES
Some of the options to be granted to employees pursuant to the Plan may be intended to qualify as “incentive” stock options under Section 422 of the Code. Under such Section, the optionee realizes no taxable income when the incentive stock option is granted. In addition, an optionee generally will not realize taxable compensation income upon the exercise of an incentive stock option if he or she exercises it as an employee or within three months after termination of employment (or within one year after termination if the termination results from a permanent and total disability). The amount by which the fair market value of the shares purchased exceeds the aggregate option price at the time of exercise will be alternative minimum taxable income for purposes of applying the alternative minimum tax. If the optionee does not dispose of the shares acquired upon such exercise for a period of two years from the granting of the incentive stock option and one year after exercise of the option, the optionee will not realize any taxable income until he or she sells the shares. If the applicable holding periods are not satisfied, then any gain realized in connection with the disposition of such stock will generally be taxable as ordinary compensation income in the year in which the disposition occurred, to the extent of the difference between the fair market value of such stock on the date of exercise and the option exercise price. FCB is entitled to a tax deduction only to the extent, and at the time, the participant realizes compensation income. The balance of any gain will be characterized as a capital gain.
Non-qualified stock options granted under the Plan are not intended to and do not qualify for the tax treatment described above for incentive stock options. Under present law, an optionee will not realize any taxable income on the date an option is granted to the optionee pursuant to the Plan. Upon exercise of the option, however, the optionee will realize, in the year of exercise, ordinary income to the extent of the difference between the option price and the fair market value on the date of exercise. Upon the sale of shares, any resulting gain or loss will be treated as capital gain or loss. FCB will receive a deduction in its fiscal year in which options are exercised, equal to the amount of compensation required to be included as ordinary income by those optionees exercising options.
The Financial Accounting Standards Board has adopted FASB Statement No. 123R, which deals with the expensing of employee stock options. As a result, FCB is required to expense employee stock options as of December 31, 2005.
STOCK OPTION GRANTS UNDER THE 2000 STOCK OPTION PLAN
The maximum number of shares currently issuable for stock grants under the Plan is 233,484. Approximately 228,650 option shares have been granted to date under the Plan, and approximately 4,834 shares of unissued shares are currently available for further option grants. Upon the adoption of the proposed amendment, the maximum aggregate number of shares issuable under the Plan will be increased by 105,000 to 333,489 shares.
VOTE REQUIRED
The Board recommends that the stockholders approve the change in the definition of “Company” under the Plan and the increase in the shares reserved under the 2000 Stock Option Plan. The affirmative vote of a majority of the shares represented at the Annual Meeting and entitled to vote is required for approval of the amendments.
