Hampton Roads Bankshares, Inc. (HMPR: Quote), the holding company for The Bank of Hampton Roads and Shore Bank, said Monday that it will undertake a capital raise of at least $80 million, but no more than $95 million through the sale of its common stock in a private placement and a public rights offering.

The company said that the purpose of the capital raise is to satisfy all regulatory capital requirements and provide significant additional capital. The company said it has entered into a definitive agreement with its three largest shareholders -- Carlyle Financial Services Harbor, L.P. , ACMO-HR, L.L.C. and CapGen Capital Group VI LP -- to purchase an aggregate of $50 million of its common stock at $0.70 per share in a private placement expected to close in June. Following the closing of the first $50 million in the private placement, the company plans to conduct a $45 million public rights offering that will allow its shareholders other than the largest shareholders to purchase up to, but no more than, their full pro-rata portion of the total $95 million capital raise at $0.70 per share.

Stocks moved sharply higher over the course of the trading day on Friday, more than offsetting the weakness seen on Thursday. In a reversal from the previous session, the markets benefited from some upbeat U.S. economic data as well as comments from a Federal Reserve official. The major averages saw further upside going into the close, with the Dow and the S&P 500 reaching new record highs. As the IRS targeting scandal continues to make headlines, animal-protection charity People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals, or PETA, claims that conservative groups are not the only ones that have faced increased scrutiny from the agency. While the IRS targeting scandal has taken center stage on Capitol Hill on Friday, the results of a new Gallup poll showed that the American public's interest in the story is comparatively low based on historical measures. The poll showed that 54 percent of Americans are following the news that the IRS targeted conservative groups for greater scrutiny "very" or "somewhat" closely.
