ITEM 1.01.    ENTRY INTO A MATERIAL DEFINITIVE AGREEMENT
ITEM 8.01.    OTHER EVENTS.

    On October 31, 2006, Southern National Bancorp of Virginia, Inc. (the
"Company"), announced the pricing of its initial public offering of 1,786,000
shares of the Company's common stock, $0.01 par value per share ("Common
Stock"), at a price per share of $14.00, pursuant to the terms of the
underwriting agreement (the "Underwriting Agreement"), dated October 31, 2006,
between Company and FIG Partners LLC, as the underwriter (the "Underwriter").
Because the offering of 1,786,000 shares of the Common Stock was oversubscribed,
the Underwriter can sell the additional 214,000 shares that are available for
sale, for an aggregate offering of 2,000,000 shares. Net proceeds to the
Company from the offering are expected to be approximately $26.7 million.

    The shares will be listed on The Nasdaq Capital Market and will trade
under the symbol "SONA" beginning on November 1, 2006.

    A copy of the form of Underwriting Agreement was filed as Exhibit 1.1 to
the Amendment No. 1 to the Form S-1 Registration Statement (SEC File No.
333-136285) on September 19, 2006.  A copy of the Company's press release,
dated November 1, 2006, is filed as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on
Form 8-K and incorporated herein by reference.
