WeissLaw LLP Investigates Virginia Commerce Bancorp, Inc. Acquisition

NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--

WeissLaw LLP, a national class action and shareholder rights law firm with offices in New York City and Los Angeles, is investigating possible breaches of fiduciary duty and other violations of law by the Board of Directors of Virginia Commerce Bancorp, Inc. (“Virginia Commerce” or the “Company”) VCBI arising from its agreement for Virginia Commerce to be acquired by United Bankshares, Inc. (“United”) in an all-stock transaction valued at approximately $490.6 million. Under the terms of the proposed transaction Virginia Commerce shareholders will receive 0.5442 shares of United's shares for each share of Virginia Commerce owned, for an approximate value of $14 per share.
