2 Safe Harbor Statement This report contains statements that may be considered forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Forward- looking statements can be identified by the use of the words "believe," "expect," "anticipate," "intend," "estimate," "assume," "will," "should," and other expressions which predict or indicate future events or trends and which do not relate to historical matters. Forward-looking statements should not be relied on, because they involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors, some of which are beyond the control of Camden National Corporation ("Camden"). These risks, uncertainties and other factors may cause the actual results, performance or achievements of Camden to be materially different from the anticipated future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements. Some of the factors that might cause these differences include the following: (i) failure of the parties to satisfy the closing conditions in the Merger Agreement in a timely manner or at all; (ii) failure of the shareholders of Union Bankshares Company ("Union Bankshares") to approve the Merger Agreement; (iii) failure to obtain governmental approvals of the Merger, or imposition of adverse regulatory conditions in connection with such approvals; (iv) disruptions in the businesses of the parties as a result of the pendency of the Merger; (v) integration costs following the merger, (vi) changes in general, national or regional economic conditions; (vii) changes in loan default and charge-off rates; (viii) reductions in deposit levels necessitating increased borrowing to fund loans and investments; (ix) changes in interest rates; (x) changes in laws and regulations; (xi) changes in the size and nature of the Camden's competition; and (xii) changes in the assumptions used in making such forward-looking statements. Other factors could also cause these differences. For more information about these factors please see Camden’s and Union Bankshares’ filings with the SEC, including their Annual Report on Form 10-K on file with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"). All of these factors should be carefully reviewed, and readers should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements. These forward- looking statements were based on information, plans and estimates at the date of this report, and the Company does not promise to update any forward-looking statements to reflect changes in underlying assumptions or factors, new information, future events or other changes. |
