The First Bancorp Maintains Quarterly Dividend at 21 Cents per Share

DAMARISCOTTA, Maine - (BUSINESS WIRE) - September 18, 2014 - The Board of Directors of The First Bancorp (NASDAQ: FNLC) today declared a quarterly dividend of 21 cents per share. This third-quarter dividend is payable October 31, 2014, to shareholders of record as of October 6, 2014, and is equal to the 21 cents per share dividend the Company paid in the past quarter. Based on the September 17, 2014 closing price of $16.78 per share, the annualized dividend of 84 cents per share translates into a yield of 5.01%.
“As we discussed in our second-quarter earnings release, all of our metrics are moving in the right direction in 2014,” commented the Company’s President & Chief Executive Officer, Daniel R. Daigneault. “With improved credit quality and strong earnings, maintaining the dividend at this level is consistent with our improved overall performance. Our generous dividend payout is very important to our shareholders and remains a key component in our total return and the valuation of our shares.”
