 &ndash; First United Corporation (NASDAQ: FUNC) (&ldquo;First United&rdquo; or the &ldquo;Company&rdquo;), a bank holding company
and the parent company of First United Bank &amp; Trust (the &ldquo;Bank&rdquo;), today issued the below statement in response
to Driver Management Company LLC&rsquo;s (&ldquo;Driver&rdquo;) press release filed on May 15, 2020:</P>

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

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify">Given the breadth of Driver&rsquo;s misrepresentations,
which were stated as fact in its press release dated Friday May 15, we will not respond to each of them individually, but we will
simply state the following: First United did not instigate, direct or control the investigation into Driver&rsquo;s acquisition
of the Company&rsquo;s shares, nor did any of First United&rsquo;s executives use their positions or relationships with trade associations
to influence the investigation. To suggest otherwise is factually incorrect. Driver should have been aware of the relevant regulations
and complied with them before making its investment in First United. Any failure to comply with Maryland law should not be &ldquo;mind-boggling&rdquo;
or &ldquo;bizarre&rdquo; to Driver and is the sole responsibility and fault of Driver and no one else.</P>
