Item 8.01 Other Events

On May 6, 2020, we announced that the location of our 2020 Annual Meeting of Shareholders, which is to be held on Tuesday, May 12, 2020 at 11:00 a.m. EDT, has been changed to our offices at 82 Main Street, Bar Harbor, ME 04609. The location has been changed because the prior location, the Bar Harbor Club, will not be open on the date of the Annual Meeting due to the COVID-19 (Coronavirus) pandemic. As previously announced, the Annual Meeting will also be held via webcast where shareholders will be able to vote their shares and participate virtually. Because of the State of Maine’s “Safer at Home” executive order that limits gatherings to ten people, and for the health and safety of everyone, we strongly encourage shareholders to participate remotely through the virtual webcast and discourage anyone from participating in person.

A copy of the press release announcing the location change is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated by reference herein. Further information regarding the change in location of the Annual Meeting can be found in the proxy supplement we filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on May 6, 2020.
