First United Board Approves Significant Common Stock Buyback

First United ( (FUNC) ) has shared an update.

The shares may be acquired through open-market or privately negotiated transactions at management’s discretion, subject to securities law and internal blackout policies, and actual repurchase activity will depend on share price, trading volumes, available opportunities, and the company’s capital needs, meaning the program may enhance shareholder value but may also result in no purchases if conditions are not favorable.
