Bringing our two banking organizations together has created an opportunity to carefully examine our products and services and make some significant enhancements that will become effective on May 22, 2017. For a smooth transition as we upgrade your banking experience, please note several key items requiring your attention. Branches All Lake Sunapee Bank branches will remain open, operating as a division of Bar Harbor Bank & Trust. They will continue to be staffed by the same friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable people you have come to know and trust to handle your banking needs. Transition Weekend (Friday, May 19 through Monday, May 22) Branches typically open on Saturdays will be closed on May 20 while we update our operating systems. You may experience some access interruptions at ATMs and when using your VISA Debit card. Telephone Banking will not be available. Access to Online and Mobile Banking will be limited to inquiry only, reflecting balances as of May 18, 2017. We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience this may cause. That s why you may want to have available a secondary form of payment, such as cash or checks, during the transition weekend. Also, you may want to plan ahead for any online transactions you wish to make. Founded in 1887, Bar Harbor Bank & Trust is a full-service community bank offering a wide range of financial services for individuals, families, businesses, and non-profit organizations. Featuring 14 convenient branch locations along the coast of Maine, we recognize, appreciate, and support the unique people and culture in the places they call home. www.lakesunbank.com 3

Checks: You can continue to use your current checks as you always have. ATM/Debit cards: You can continue to use your current ATM or VISA Debit card as you always have. Direct Deposits and Automatic Payments: There will be no interruption of these services.

FDIC Insurance Coverage Bar Harbor Bank & Trust and Lake Sunapee Bank, a division of Bar Harbor Bank & Trust, exist as one institution for FDIC insurance purposes. $250,000 is the standard limit of federal deposit insurance coverage for a depositor at a single bank in each ownership category. FDIC has a special rule that says when two banks merge, a customer s deposits will be considered to be separately insured as if the two banks are still operating separately for at least six months and possibly longer for certificates of deposit (CDs) tied to the maturity date. The six-month grace period will end on July 13, 2017. If your combined deposit balance exceeds $250,000, please contact us to review available options. More information about FDIC deposit insurance can be found at: www.fdic.gov/deposit. www.lakesunbank.com 5
