FAIRFAX, Va., Dec. 26, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- MainStreet Bank (OTCQB: MNSB) announces a successful $12.75 million capital raise through the issuance of common stock.

"We were pleased that the offering was significantly oversubscribed. Investors clearly understand that the Washington, DC metropolitan area is a great place to do business and that MainStreet Bank is well positioned in the marketplace. We believe that we have a great opportunity for growth ahead of us," said MainStreet Bank Chairman, CEO and President Jeff W. Dick.

The additional capital substantially increases the overall lending capacity of the Bank as it serves small and medium-sized businesses, professionals, and consumers in the Washington, DC metropolitan area.

FIG Partners LLC, an employee-owned broker/dealer based in Atlanta Georgia, assisted in raising the new capital from existing shareholders, as well as local and institutional investors.
