EXPLANATORY NOTE
This Amendment No. 1 on Form 10-K/A to the Annual Report of First United Corporation on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020, which was initially filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on March 25, 2021 (the “Original Report”), is being filed to amend Item 5 of Part II of the Original Report. Pursuant to Rule 12b-15 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, new certifications by First United Corporation’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer are filed or furnished with this Amendment No. 1 as Exhibits 31.1, 31.2, and 32.1, so Item 15 of Part IV of the Original Report has also been amended.
Except as expressly provided above, this Amendment No. 1 on Form 10-K/A speaks as of the date of the Original Report and First United Corporation has not updated the disclosures contained in any item thereof to speak as of a later date. All information contained in this Amendment No. 1 on Form 10-K/A is subject to updating and supplementing as provided in First United Corporation’s reports filed with the SEC subsequent to the date on which the Original Report was filed.
PART II
| ITEM 5. | MARKET FOR REGISTRANT’S COMMON EQUITY, RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS AND ISSUER PURCHASES OF EQUITY SECURITIES |
Shares of the Corporation’s common stock are listed on the NASDAQ Global Select Market under the symbol “FUNC”. As of February 28, 2021, the issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock were held by 1,240 shareholders of record.
The ability of the Corporation to declare dividends is limited by federal banking laws and Maryland corporation laws. Subject to these and the terms of its other securities, including the TPS Debentures, the payment of dividends on the shares of common stock and the amounts thereof are at the discretion of the Corporation’s board of directors. In November 2010, the Corporation’s board of directors suspended the declaration and payment of cash dividends. This suspension was lifted in 2018. Cash dividends are typically declared on a quarterly basis. When paid, dividends to shareholders are dependent on the ability of the Corporation’s subsidiaries, especially the Bank, to declare dividends to the Corporation. Like the Corporation, the Bank’s ability to declare and pay dividends is subject to limitations imposed by federal and Maryland banking and Maryland corporation laws. A complete discussion of these and other dividend restrictions is contained in Item 1A of Part I of this annual report under the heading “Risks Relating to First United Corporation’s Securities” and in Note 23 to the Consolidated Financial Statements, both of which are incorporated herein by reference. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that dividends will be declared on the shares of common stock in any future fiscal quarter.
The Corporation’s Board of Directors periodically evaluates the Corporation’s dividend policy, both internally and in consultation with the Federal Reserve.
