Dear Fellow Shareholder:
Please note that our Annual Shareholders meeting will be held on Thursday, June 7, 2007 at 11:00 a.m. at the White Birches Restaurant, Rout 1, in Hancock, Maine.
In preparation for the meeting, we are enclosing our Annual Report and proxy material. We would appreciate it if you would kindly complete the enclosedBLUE proxy card and return it in the postage prepaid envelope provided, as soon as possible.
One of our shareholders, Financial Analytics Investment Corporation (“FAIC”) has announced its intention to send its own proxy to selected shareholders. We understand that the intent of this proxy is to elect Mr. Michael V. Jennings and Andrew J. Pease to your Company’s Board of Directors and to remove Peter A. Blyberg “with cause” from your Board of Directors.
YOUR BOARD OF DIRECTORS OPPOSES FAIC’S PROXY SOLICITATION AND STRONGLY URGES YOU NOT TO SIGN OR RETURN ANY WHITE PROXY CARD THAT MAY BE SENT TO YOU BY FAIC.
YOUR BOARD OF DIRECTORS STRONGLY URGES YOU TO SIGN AND RETURN THE ENCLOSEDBLUE PROXY CARD THAT IS ENCLOSED WITH THE COMPANY’S PROXY STATEMENT. EVEN IF YOU HAVE PREVIOUSLY RETURNED A WHITE PROXY CARD, YOU HAVE EVERY LEGAL RIGHT TO CHANGE YOUR VOTE AND VOTE A BLUE CARD. ONLY YOUR LATEST DATED PROXY CARD COUNTS.
We strongly urge you to read carefully your Company’s Proxy statement included in the enclosed materials and return yourBLUE proxy card promptly.
After the meeting we will serve a buffet lunch. We hope that you will be able to attend and look forward to seeing you there. As always, we thank you for your continued support. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact us.
