ITEM 8.01. OTHER EVENTS

As previously noted, on January 30, 2024, the Board of Directors of First Bancorp (the “Company”) authorized the Company’s management to subsequently implement a stock repurchase program for up to $40.0 million of the Company’s outstanding Common Stock. On August 9, 2024, a stock repurchase program was implemented. Repurchases under the program may be made in the open market, in privately negotiated transactions or otherwise, subject to the terms of the program, market conditions and other factors. Open market repurchases will be made within the pricing, volume and other requirements of Rule 10b-18 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”).

The program does not obligate the Company to acquire any particular amount of its Common Stock. The program may be extended, modified, suspended or discontinued at any time.
