BB&T to acquire Virginia Capital Bancshares
of Fredericksburg, Va.

     WINSTON-SALEM,  N.C. - BB&T Corporation  (NYSE: BBT) today said it plans to
buy Virginia Capital Bancshares Inc. (NASDAQ: VCAP) of Fredericksburg, Va., in a
$180.5 million stock swap.  The  acquisition,  one of two BB&T announced  today,
would expand  BB&T's  presence  along the  fast-growing  Interstate  95 corridor
between Richmond, Va., and Washington, D.C.

     Virginia  Capital  Bancshares is a $532.7 million bank holding  company for
Fredericksburg  State Bank, which operates one banking office in Fredericksburg,
two in Spotsylvania County and one in Stafford County.

     The transaction,  approved by the directors of both companies, currently is
valued at $18.50  per  Virginia  Capital  share  based on BB&T's  closing  price
Tuesday of $37.31.  The final  exchange  ratio will be based on a pricing period
prior to the Virginia Capital  shareholders'  vote on the proposed  merger.  The
transaction will be accounted for as a purchase.

     "Fredericksburg   State  Bank  is  a   well-respected,   community-oriented
institution  with a 78-year  tradition of service," said BB&T Chairman and Chief
Executive  Officer John  Allison.  "This  acquisition  gives us the No. 1 market
share in  Fredericksburg,  one of the fastest  growing  areas of the country and
part of the economically viable Washington-Baltimore CMSA."

     An emerging  high-tech  center,  Fredericksburg  will soon be surrounded by
three  circuit  manufacturing  facilities  within a  50-mile  radius.  The three
facilities represent more than half of Virginia's recently announced $12 billion
investment in high-tech companies and will employ more than 10,000 people.

     The  announcement  comes on the same day BB&T said it would buy Winchester,
Va.-based F&M National Corporation.  Together, the mergers would increase BB&T's
Virginia  assets to more than $11  billion and move BB&T from sixth to a tie for
fourth in market share in the state. Home to 16 Fortune 500 companies,  Virginia
has the highest per capita income of any state in the Southeast.

     Fredericksburg  State Bank was founded in 1922 as Mutual  Building and Loan
Association.

     Fredericksburg  State Bank  customers  will be  introduced  to BB&T's broad
product and services line, which includes insurance, mutual funds, trust, online
banking,  annuities,  investment banking,  retail brokerage,  treasury services,
international banking and leasing.

     "As a hometown bank proud of the  commitment  we've made to  generations of
families in this area, it's great to be joining a customer-oriented organization
like  BB&T,"  said  Samuel  C.  Harding  Jr.,   president  of  Virginia  Capital
Bancshares. "Our customers will be able to take advantage of a much broader line
of products and services while  continuing to enjoy the same  attentive  service
they've grown accustomed to."

     The BB&T community  banking network is currently divided into 23 autonomous
regions.  Each region has its own president and operates like a community  bank.
Nearly all lending decisions are made locally.

     The  merger,   which  is  subject  to  the  approval  of  Virginia  Capital
shareholders and banking  regulators,  is expected to be completed in the second
quarter of 2001.

     With today's announcements, BB&T will take a self-imposed 90-day moratorium
on bank and thrift acquisitions, Allison said.

     Winston-Salem-based  BB&T  Corporation,   with  $60.9  billion  in  assets,
operates 889 banking offices in the Carolinas, Georgia, Virginia, Maryland, West
Virginia, Tennessee, Kentucky and Washington, D.C.

     BB&T  Corporation is the nation's 17th largest  financial  holding company.

                                January 24, 2001

                                                                               1



                          Forward-Looking Information

BB&T  has  made   forward-looking   statements  in  the   accompanying   analyst
presentation  materials  that are  subject  to risks  and  uncertainties.  These
statements  are based on the beliefs and  assumptions of the management of BB&T,
and  on  the  information  available  to  management  at the  time  the  analyst
presentation  materials were prepared.  In particular,  the analyst materials in
this report include statements regarding estimated earnings per share of BB&T on
a  stand  alone  basis,  expected  cost  savings  from  the  merger,   estimated
restructuring  charges relating to the merger,  estimated  increases in Virginia
Capital Bancshares, Inc.'s fee income ratio, the anticipated accretive effect of
the merger, and BB&T's anticipated  performance in future periods.  With respect
to estimated cost savings and restructuring  charges,  BB&T has made assumptions
about,  among other things,  the extent of operational  overlap between BB&T and
Virginia  Capital  Bancshares,  Inc.,  the amount of general and  administrative
expense consolidation, costs relating to converting Virginia Capital Bancshares,
Inc.'s  bank  operations  and data  processing  to BB&T's  systems,  the size of
anticipated  reductions in fixed labor costs, the amount of severance  expenses,
the  extent  of the  charges  that  may be  necessary  to align  the  companies'
respective accounting reserve policies,  and the cost related to the merger. The
realization of cost savings and the amount of restructuring  charges are subject
to the risk that the foregoing assumptions are inaccurate.

Any statements in the accompanying  exhibit regarding the anticipated  accretive
effect of the merger and BB&T's  anticipated  performance  in future periods are
subject to risks relating to, among other things,  the following  possibilities:
(1) expected cost savings from this merger or other previously announced mergers
may not be fully  realized  or realized  within the  expected  time  frame;  (2)
deposit attrition,  customer loss or revenue loss following proposed mergers may
be greater than expected;  (3) competitive  pressure among  depository and other
financial  institutions  may increase  significantly;  (4) costs or difficulties
related to the  integration of the  businesses of BB&T and its merger  partners,
including Virginia Capital Bancshares,  Inc., may be greater than expected;  (5)
changes in the  interest  rate  environment  may  reduce  margins;  (6)  general
economic or business  conditions,  either nationally or regionally,  may be less
favorable than expected,  resulting in, among other things,  a deterioration  in
credit  quality,  or a reduced demand for credit;  (7) legislative or regulatory
changes,  including  changes in accounting  standards,  may adversely affect the
businesses in which BB&T and Virginia Capital Bancshares,  Inc. are engaged; (8)
adverse changes may occur in the securities markets; and (9) competitors of BB&T
and Virginia Capital  Bancshares,  Inc. may have greater financial resources and
develop products that enable such competitors to compete more  successfully than
BB&T and Virginia Capital Bancshares, Inc.

BB&T believes these forward-looking  statements are reasonable;  however,  undue
reliance  should  not be placed on such  forward-looking  statements,  which are
based  on  current   expectations.   Such   statements  are  not  guarantees  of
performance.  They involve  risks,  uncertainties  and  assumptions.  The future
results and  shareholder  value of BB&T  following  completion of the merger may
differ materially from those expressed in these forward-looking statements. Many
of the  factors  that  will  determine  these  results  and  values  are  beyond
management's ability to control or predict.

                                                                               2

                            Rationale For Acquisition

- -    BB&T has an announced strategy to pursue in-market (Carolinas/Virginia/West
     Virginia/DC/Maryland/Georgia/ Tennessee) and contiguous state acquisitions
     of high quality banks and thrifts in the $250 million to $10 billion range.
     The acquisition of Virginia Capital Bancshares, Inc. is consistent with
     this strategy.
- -    This acquisition is very consistent with past acquisitions which we have
     successfully executed, i.e. it fits our model.
- -    Virginia Capital provides BB&T with the number one market share in the high
     growth Fredericksburg Region.

                                                                              15




                              Strategic Objectives
The key strategic objectives achieved in this acquisition:
- -    Increases BB&T's existing share in the vibrant Virginia market
- -    Improves efficiency
     -  50% cost savings fully realized in the first 12 months of operations
        following conversion
- -    Utilizes Virginia Capital's branch franchise to sell BB&T's broad array of
     retail and commercial banking products to their existing customer
     base and expand the reach of the branch beyond Virginia Capital's
     traditional customer
- -    Increases product and market penetration through the use of BB&T's world
     standard sales system


                                                                              16

- -    Provides BB&T with the number one deposit market share in the
     Fredericksburg Region
- -    Extends BB&T's branch distribution system in the attractive I-95 corridor
     between Richmond and Washington, DC
- -    Significant cross-sell opportunities from the addition of BB&T's broad
     product line
- -    Provides significant excess equity which can be leveraged by BB&T, thus
     enhancing future profitability

                                                                              17

                                   Assumptions

- -    BB&T's 2001 EPS is based on the First Call estimate of $2.46 and subsequent
     years are based on 12% income statement and balance sheet growth.
- -    VCAP's 2001 EPS, prior to acquisition effects, is based on the First Call
     estimate of $0.95.
- -    50% annual cost savings ($4.1 million) fully realized in the first 12
     months following conversion.
- -    Growth Rates - Following the acquisition, we have assumed an income
     statement and balance sheet growth rate of 5% in year 1, 7% in year 2, and
     12% thereafter except for the enhancements cited below:
     -  VCAP's noninterest income is accelerated in order to achieve a fee
        income ratio of 25% by year 6 and is held constant thereafter.
     -  After an initial decline, VCAP's core net interest margin is
        incrementally increased in years 2 through 6 to obtain a margin of
        4.15%.
     -  VCAP's loan loss allowance is raised to 1.30% to match BB&T's reserve
        philosophy.
     -  VCAP's net charge-off rate for loan losses is assumed to be 0.35%.

                                                                              25

Return on Assets - recurring  earnings for the period as a percentage of average
assets for the period.

Return on Equity - recurring  earnings for the period as a percentage of average
common equity for the period.

Cash Basis  Performance  Results  and Ratios - These  calculations  exclude  the
effect on net income of amortization  expense  applicable to certain  intangible
assets. The ratios also exclude the effect of the unamortized  balances of these
intangibles from assets and equity.

Efficiency Ratio - calculated as recurring  noninterest  expense as a percentage
of the sum of recurring net interest income on a fully taxable  equivalent basis
and recurring noninterest income.

Leverage  Capital  Ratio -  Common  shareholders'  equity  excluding  unrealized
securities  gains and losses and certain  intangible  assets as a percentage  of
average assets for the most recent quarter less certain intangible assets.

Total Risk-Based  Capital Ratio - The sum of shareholders'  equity, a qualifying
portion of subordinated debt and a qualifying  portion of the allowance for loan
and lease losses as a percentage of risk-weighted assets.

Net Charge-Off  Ratio - Loan losses net of recoveries as a percentage of average
loans and leases.

Internal  Rate of Return - The interest  rate that equates the present  value of
future returns to the investment outlay. An investment is considered  acceptable

value of the stock  and/or  other  consideration  to be  received by the selling
shareholders.

Recurring   Results  or  Ratios  -  earnings   excluding  charges  and  expenses
principally related to completing mergers and acquisitions.

Certain  of the  ratios  discussed  above may be  annualized  if the  applicable
periods are less than a full year.
