21.Restrictions on Dividend Payments

First United Corporation is subject to an informal agreement with the Federal Reserve Bank of Richmond (the “Reserve Bank”), which requires it to seek the prior approval of the Reserve Bank before making any dividend payment or other distribution on its capital securities or other securities that qualify as Tier 1 capital.  The Board of Directors elected to pay no dividend to common shareholders during 2016.
