Dear Shareholder,
I’m writing to share an important update regarding Camden National Corporation’s transfer agent. Effective Friday, June 25, 2021, Broadridge Corporate Issuer Solutions, Inc. (“Broadridge”) will be our new transfer agent, replacing American Stock Transfer & Trust Company, LLC (“AST”). Our goal is to provide you with the best support and service possible, and we are confident that this change will improve your experience as a valued shareholder.
What this means for our shareholders
•You will have access to your AST online account and assistance from the AST Shareholder Support Team at 800-937-5449 until end-of-business on June 24, 2021.
•Your shareholder information—including your mailing address, dividend reinvestment plan (DRIP) selection, ACH number(s), and other details—will be automatically and securely transferred over from AST to Broadridge, with limited exception.
•Effective June 25, 2021, Broadridge will manage all stock registry requests and payments of any dividends. Broadridge will also support shareholders with change of address requests, certificate replacements, transfer of shares, and more.
Online Account Access
AST online account access will close on June 24, 2021 and be replaced by Broadridge’s online access in early July.

Until that time, you will not have access to your account information online, but please do not hesitate to contact Broadridge to address any questions.
Once you receive the letter from Broadridge, we encourage you to set up an online account to manage your account at your convenience—whether it be updating delivery preferences, viewing your holdings, or taking any other actions on your Camden National Corporation shares held by Broadridge.
