Item 1.01 Entry Into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On May 26, 2005, Flag Financial Corporation (NASDAQ: FLAG), a Georgia corporation (the “Company”), entered into a definitive Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) to acquire First Capital Bancorp, Inc., a Norcross, Georgia based bank holding company, in a merger transaction (the “Merger”). First Capital Bancorp, Inc. (“FCB”) is the parent of First Capital Bank which operates five banking offices in the north metro-Atlanta market. Under the terms of the Merger Agreement, FCB shareholders will receive 1.6 shares of the Company’s common stock for each share of their FCB common stock (the “Exchange Ratio”). Any non-institutional FCB shareholder that would own more than 384,000 shares of Flag common stock following the Merger will receive a cash payment, in lieu of shares of Flag common stock over the 384,000 share threshold, equal to the number of such excess shares multiplied by the average closing price of Flag’s common stock for the 20 trading days immediately following the public announcement of the Merger. In addition, Flag will assume each outstanding option to acquire shares of FCB common and the shares subject to such options and the corresponding exercise prices will be adjusted to reflect the Exchange Ratio.

The Merger has been approved by the boards of directors of both Flag and FCB and is subject to the approval of the shareholders of both Flag and FCB. Each director of Flag and FCB has executed a support agreement pursuant to which he or she has agreed to vote all Flag and FCB shares, as the case may be, beneficially owned in favor of the Merger. In additional to shareholder approvals, the Merger is subject to customary regulatory approvals including approval by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System and the Georgia Department of Banking and Finance. The Merger Agreement also includes customary representations, warranties and covenants of both parties. Flag and FCB expect the Merger to close in the fourth quarter of 2005.

A copy of the Merger Agreement and a press release announcing the Merger Agreement are attached as Exhibit 99.1 and 99.2, respectively, and incorporated herein by this reference.
