Pre-commencement communications pursuant to Rule 13e-4(c) under the Exchange Act (17 CFR 240.13e-4(c))
Item 8.01                      Other Events.
On July 12, 2010, Hampton Roads Bankshares, Inc. (the "Company") filed Amendment No. 1 to its Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009 (the "Form 10-K") containing Part III of the Form 10-K.  As such, the Company believes that it is in compliance with the NASDAQ Marketplace continued listing standards.
Previously, the Company had received a non-compliance notice from the NASDAQ Stock Market stating that because the Company did not timely file its Form 10-K, it was no longer in compliance with the rules for continued listing, including Rule 5250(c)(1), which was reported on a Form 8-K filed on April 7, 2010.  On April 26, 2010, the Company received a second notice from NASDAQ indicating that it was back in compliance with the continuing listing standards upon the filing of its Form 10-K, but the Company had not yet filed Part III thereto until yesterday.
