On June 27, 2007, Union Bankshares Company (the “Company”) announced preliminary results of the shareholder vote at the Company’s 2007 Annual Meeting of Shareholders, held on June 7, 2007. Preliminary results indicate that shareholders voted to elect the slate of directors put forth by the Company, to ratify Berry, Dunn, McNeil & Parker as the independent registered public accountants of the Company for 2007, and to approve an amendment to the Company’s Articles of Incorporation providing for election of directors by a majority of the votes cast. In addition, shareholders voted against several shareholder proposals, including the removal of Peter A. Blyberg as a director, a set of amendments to the Company’s Bylaws imposing stock ownership requirements on directors and officers, and a proposal requiring the Board of Directors to report to shareholders on a plan of succession for the Company’s President and Chief Executive Officer. Final results are subject to review and challenge and will be announced after the vote has been certified by Corporate Elections Services, an independent firm hired by the Company to tabulate the proxy ballots submitted by shareholders. A copy of the press release dated June 27, 2007 is furnished and not filed pursuant to Regulation FD as Exhibit 99.1 hereto.
