Dear
Shareholder:
Following
the filing, Internet posting and printing of the 2009 definitive proxy
statement, First United Corporation (the “Corporation”) discovered that it had
inadvertently omitted certain required information. Accordingly, on
March 31, 2009, the Corporation filed an amended definitive proxy statement with
the Securities and Exchange Commission to revise and include additional
information in (i) the table contained in the section entitled “Beneficial
Ownership of Common Stock by Principal Shareholders and Management”, (ii) the
table entitled “Director Compensation”, and (iii) the section entitled “Certain
Relationships and Related Transactions”. The amended 2009 Definitive
Proxy Statement, the related form of Proxy, and the Corporation’s Annual Report
to Shareholders (including its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended
December 31, 2008) are available at http://www.stocktrans.com/eproxy/firstunited2009. See
the previously provided Annual Meeting Notice for information about viewing,
downloading and printing the definitive proxy materials from this website,
requesting paper copies of the these materials, and voting your
shares. The Corporation urges all shareholders to read the amended
definitive proxy statement and the related materials.
If you have already delivered a Proxy
with respect to your shares (including by voting using the telephone or the
Internet), you do not need to take any action unless you wish to revoke your
Proxy or change your vote on any of the proposals. You may revoke a
Proxy at any time prior to its exercise by: (i) the execution of a
later dated Proxy; (ii) the execution of a later casted Internet or telephone
vote with regard to the same shares; (iii) giving written notice to Robert W.
Kurtz, Secretary, First United Corporation, P.O. Box 9, Oakland, Maryland
21550-0009; or (iv) giving written notice to the Secretary in person at the 2009
Annual Meeting. Any shareholder who attends the 2009 Annual Meeting
and revokes his/her Proxy may vote in person. However, attendance by
a shareholder at the 2009 Annual Meeting alone will not have the effect of
revoking a shareholder’s validly executed Proxy.
