Item 5.02 Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.

(e) Compensatory Arrangements .

As previously disclosed by First United Corporation (the “Corporation”) in its Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on March 16, 2020 (the “2020 Form 8-K”), the Compensation Committee (the “Committee”) of the Corporation’s Board of Directors has adopted a Short-Term Incentive Plan (the “STIP”), which is a cash incentive award program intended to reward executives for the Corporation’s annual performance, with incentive goals selected each year by the Committee. A summary of the material terms of the STIP can be found in Item 5.02 of the 2020 Form 8-K under the heading, “First United Corporation Short-Term Incentive Plan”, which summary is incorporated herein by reference. A copy of the STIP was filed as Exhibit 10.2 to the 2020 Form 8-K.

On May 5, 2021, the Committee established incentive goals for 2021 and granted award opportunities under the STIP to (i) the Corporation’s Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer, (ii) each of the Corporation’s other named executive officers, and (iii) the Corporation’s Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer. For 2021, the performance metrics are based on return on average assets, efficiency ratio, average delinquencies as a percentage of total loans, and individual performance criteria that are specific to each officer. Each officer’s specific metrics for 2021 are not material, are considered confidential by the Corporation until the financial results for 2021 have been determined, and will be disclosed as and when required by Item 402 of the SEC’s Regulation S-K. The following table provides information about the cash awards that could be earned by these officers for 2021 and paid in 2022 under the STIP:
