Item 5.02.
Election of Directors.
On February 18, 2010, the Board of Directors of Eastern Virginia Bankshares, Inc. ("the Company"), elected W. Gerald Cox, Michael E. Fiore, Eric A. Johnson and W. Leslie Kilduff, Jr., to serve as directors of the Company for the remainder of the term which shall expire at the 2010 Annual Meeting of Shareholders. Prior to their election to the Company's Board of
                Directors, each of the newly-elected directors served on the Board of Directors of the Company's banking subsidiary, EVB, so both boards of directors are now identical in membership. Mr. Johnson has been appointed to the Compensation Committee, and the remaining newly-elected directors have not been assigned to committees at this time.
Each of the newly-appointed directors is a customer of the Company, and the Company has had, and expects to have in the future, banking transactions with the newly-appointed directors. Loans to the newly-appointed directors 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 lender, and did not involve more than the normal risk of collectability or present other unfavorable features.
