NOTICE OF CHANGE OF LOCATION

OF ANNUAL MEETING OF SHAREHOLDERS

TO BE HELD MAY 12, 2020

May 6, 2020

Dear Bar Harbor Shareholders:

Due to ongoing developments related to the COVID-19 (Coronavirus) pandemic, the location at which we were planning to host our 2020 Annual Meeting of Shareholders will not be open on the date of the meeting. For that reason, we have changed the location of our Annual Meeting, which is to be held on Tuesday, May 12, 2020 at 11:00 a.m. EDT, to our offices located at 82 Main Street, Bar Harbor, ME 04609. As previously announced, the 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. If shareholders attend in person in a number that we determine may present a public health risk to the attendees, we reserve the right to adjourn the meeting to a later date.

As described in the proxy materials for the Annual Meeting previously distributed, shareholders of record as of the close of business on March 16, 2020, the record date, are entitled to participate in the Annual Meeting.

To participate and vote at the Annual Meeting by webcast, you should log on to virtualshareholdermeeting.com/BHB2020 and enter the 16-digit control number located on your proxy. If your shares are not registered in your name, for example, if they are held with a broker in "street name," then you are a beneficial owner. Beneficial owners may participate by webcast with their 16-digit control number. Beneficial owners must obtain a legal proxy from their broker, bank or other nominee to vote during the meeting.

Registered owners that have not received their proxy materials can contact Broadridge at 877-456-4860 to request a control number. Beneficial owners must contact their bank or broker-dealer to obtain their control number.

You may also vote by telephone at 1-800-690-6903 or by mailing your completed proxy to Vote Processing, c/o Broadridge, 51 Mercedes Way, Edgewood, NY 11717.

The proxy card included with the proxy materials previously distributed will not be updated to reflect the change in location and may continue to be used to vote your shares in connection with the Annual Meeting.
