Bankshares (the Company) completed its previously announced acquisition of Lake Sunapee Bank Group (Lake Sunapee), pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of May 5, 2016 (the Merger Agreement),
by and between the Company and Lake Sunapee. Under the terms of the Merger Agreement, Lake Sunapee merged with and into the Company (the Merger), with the Company being the surviving entity of the Merger. Additionally, Lake Sunapee Bank,

As a result of the Merger, each Lake Sunapee shareholder will have the right to receive 0.4970 shares of Bar Harbor common stock for each share of Lake
Sunapees common stock. Based on the closing price of $34.55 per share for Bar Harbors common stock on May 4, 2016, as reported on the New York Stock Exchange, the transaction value is estimated at $143 million in the aggregate.
The foregoing description of the Merger and the Merger Agreement is not complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Merger Agreement, which
was attached as Exhibit 2.1 to the Companys Form
8-K
filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC) on May 9, 2016, and is incorporated herein by reference.
