This transaction adds an excellent downtown branch to the Sonabank network. The Sonabank staff is ready to begin calling on existing and potential new clients as soon as the branch re-opens as Sonabank on Monday September 28th." The transaction is expected to be accretive to Sonabank's earnings in the fourth quarter of 2009.
</p>
<p>
Southern National Bancorp is headquartered in McLean, Virginia and is the holding company for Sonabank.
</p>
<p>
Sonabank is a $440 million bank Virginia-chartered bank that now operates 8 banking offices in McLean, Herndon, Reston, Leesburg (2), Warrenton (2), Charlottesville and Clifton Forge, Virginia.
