Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.
On February 18, 2025, Ingrid Wilbur Kachmar was elected to the Board of Directors of The First Bancorp (the “Company”) and its subsidiary First National Bank (the “Bank”). Mrs. Kachmar will serve as a member of the Board of Directors of the Company and Bank until the 2025 Annual Meeting of Shareholders where she will stand for election along with the entire slate of directors.
There are no understandings or arrangements between Mrs. Kachmar and any other persons pursuant to which Mrs. Kachmar was selected as a director of the Company.
Mrs. Kachmar has served as the Executive Director of the Harbor House Community Service Center in Southwest Harbor, ME since 2011. Prior to joining Harbor House, she owned and operated several retail stores, and along with her husband owned and operated Wilbur Yachts. Mrs. Kachmar, along with her husband, currently holds a variety of real estate investments in the Hancock County area. Certain entities with which Mrs. Kachmar is affiliated have loans with the Bank, each of which were made in the ordinary course of business, were made on substantially the same terms, including interest rates and collateral, as those prevailing at the time for comparable loans with persons not related to the Bank, and did not involve more than the normal risk of collectability or present other unfavorable features.
Please refer to exhibit 99.1 filed with this report for the Company’s press release announcing the appointment of Mrs. Kachmar as a director of the Company.
