     This Current Report on Form 8-K/A is being filed by Camden National
Corporation to amend and restate its previously filed Current Report on Form

Item 2 - Acquisition or Disposition of Assets
- ---------------------------------------------

     Acquisition of KSB Bancorp, Inc. After the close of business on December
20, 1999, following receipt of all required regulatory and stockholder
approvals, Camden National Corporation, a Maine corporation ("Camden"),
completed the acquisition of KSB Bancorp, Inc., a Delaware corporation ("KSB"),
pursuant to the terms and conditions of an Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated
as of July 27, 1999 (the "Merger Agreement"), by and among Camden, Camden
Acquisition Subsidiary, Inc., a Delaware corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary
of Camden, KSB and Kingfield Savings Bank, a Maine chartered stock savings bank
and wholly-owned subsidiary of KSB. The acquisition was effected by a series of
transactions resulting in the merger of KSB with and into Camden (the "Merger"),
with Camden as the surviving corporation.

     Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, holders of KSB common stock, par value
$.01 per share ("KSB Common Stock"), are entitled to receive, for each such
share held by them on December 20, 1999 at 5:01 p.m. (the "Effective Time"),
1.136 shares of Camden common stock, no par value ("Camden Common Stock"). Any
holder of KSB Common Stock who would otherwise be entitled to receive an amount
of cash equal to the product of such fraction and $17.25, subject to applicable
withholding taxes.

     Approximately 1.5 million shares of Camden common stock will be issued in
the Merger, bringing the total number of Camden shares outstanding to
approximately 8 million.

     In addition, at the Effective Time, all outstanding and unexercised options
to purchase shares of KSB Common Stock were automatically converted into options
to purchase shares of Camden Common Stock.  Camden has assumed all of the KSB
options subject to the terms and conditions of KSB's stock option plans under
which the assumed KSB options were granted.  The number of shares of Camden
Common Stock purchasable upon exercise of any KSB option is equal to the number
of shares of KSB Common Stock that were purchasable prior to the Effective Time
multiplied by the exchange ratio of 1.136, rounding to the nearest whole share,
and the per share exercise price of each KSB option was adjusted by dividing the
per share exercise price of each KSB option by the exchange ratio of 1.136,
rounding to the nearest cent.

     The Merger will be accounted for as a pooling of interests under generally
accepted accounting principles.  A copy of the press release announcing the
effectiveness of the Merger is filed as Exhibit 99.5 hereto.

     Board of Directors.  As of the Effective Time, the following persons, who
were immediately prior to the Effective Time serving as members of the board of
directors of KSB, became members of the board of directors of Camden:

               Name                      Term
               ----                      ----
