Headquarters</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt/normal Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: center">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt/115% Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0 0 10pt; text-indent: 0.5in">TROY, N.C. - First Bancorp (NASDAQ
&ndash; FBNC), the parent company of First Bank, announced today that it would consolidate some of its operations in a recently
purchased building in downtown Southern Pines, North Carolina, and would seek regulatory approval to move its corporate headquarters
there as well. The company also reaffirmed its commitment to keep the vast majority of its corporate jobs in Troy, North Carolina
by continuing to operate its back office and data processing center there. &ldquo;We currently have about 190 corporate headquarter
jobs and at least 150 of them will remain in Troy,&rdquo; said Richard Moore, First Bancorp President and CEO.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt/115% Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0 0 10pt; text-indent: 0.5in">First Bank is a $3.3 billion bank
with 98 branches in North Carolina, South Carolina, and Virginia, making it the 4<SUP>th</SUP> largest bank headquartered in North
Carolina. It has its largest deposit base &ndash; over $420 million &ndash; in Moore County. In addition to its 11 branch offices
in Moore County, it currently operates a facility management and legal division there, as well as a mortgage loan origination office
and training facility. Some of those operations will be consolidated at 300 SW Broad Street, Southern Pines, which the bank purchased
last week from Hobbs Upchurch &amp; Associates. Much of the bank&rsquo;s senior management will be located there as well. &ldquo;Our
bank has grown dramatically over the past few years,&rdquo; Moore stated &ldquo;and this new location will help us better serve
our customers going forward.&rdquo;</P>
