Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
 
    Effective April 27, 2012, Sonabank, a Virginia state-chartered bank headquartered in McLean, Virginia (the “Bank”) and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Southern National Bancorp of Virginia, a Virginia corporation (the “Company”), acquired all of the deposits and substantially all of the assets and other liabilities of HarVest Bank of Maryland, a Maryland state-chartered bank headquartered in Gaithersburg, Maryland (“HarVest Bank”), from the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (the “FDIC”), as receiver for HarVest Bank (the “Acquisition”).
 
    The Acquisition was made pursuant to the terms of a Purchase and Assumption Agreement entered into by and between the Bank and the FDIC as of April 27, 2012 (the “Purchase and Assumption Agreement”). The Acquisition included all four branch offices of HarVest Bank. The Germantown branch of HarVest Bank, which was normally open on Saturdays, opened as a branch of the Bank on Saturday, April 28, 2012, while the remaining HarVest Bank branches opened as branches of the Bank on Monday, April 30, 2012.
 
    As of April 27, 2012, the Bank acquired approximately $164.3 million in assets, including approximately $95 million in loans and $6.2 million in other real estate, and the Bank assumed approximately $145.5 million in deposits of HarVest Bank. The foregoing amounts are subject to customary post-closing adjustments based upon the final closing date balance sheet for HarVest Bank and will be recorded at their fair values as of the April 27, 2012 acquisition date. The Bank acquired the assets and liabilities of HarVest Bank at a $27.3 million discount and paid no premium for the right to assume the deposits of HarVest Bank.   The terms of the Purchase and Assumption Agreement provide for the FDIC to indemnify the Bank against, among other things, claims with respect to liabilities, losses and expenses (including reasonable attorney’s fees) of HarVest Bank or any of its affiliates not assumed or otherwise purchased by the Bank and with respect to claims made by any shareholder of HarVest Bank or its affiliates.
 
    In connection with the Acquisition, there will be no loss share agreement between the FDIC and the Bank.
 
    Pursuant to General Instruction F to the Securities and Exchange Commission’s Current Report on Form 8-K, the Purchase and Assumption Agreement, together with the exhibits thereto, is filed as Exhibit 2.1 to this report, and is incorporated into this Item 1.01 by this reference.  Accordingly, the foregoing summary of the Purchase and Assumption Agreement is not complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Purchase and Assumption Agreement.
