As of September 30, 2021, the Bank and the Corporation were considered “well capitalized” under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action.   The ratios at the Bank and Consolidated levels were negatively impacted primarily due to the increased funding from the Bank to the holding company related to the settlement expenses and the stock repurchase program.  The decrease at the Corporation level is related to the stock repurchase of 400,000 shares of common stock and the reduction to capital.

First United Corporation’s stock repurchase plan was initially adopted effective January 27, 2021, which authorized the repurchase of up to 400,000 shares of common stock of First United Corporation. The plan authorizes the repurchases to be conducted through open market or private transactions at such times and in such amounts per transaction as the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of First United Corporation determines to be appropriate.  

On April 16, 2021, First United Corporation entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement with Driver Opportunity Partners I LP (“Driver Partners”) under which, pursuant to the foregoing stock repurchase program.  First United Corporation agreed to repurchase 360,737 shares of its common stock held by Driver Partners at a purchase price of $18.00 per share.
