Explanatory Note:

This Amendment No.1 to our Current Report on Form 8-K which was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on January 25, 2013 (the “Original Filing”) is being filed to amend the following item as follows:

Item 5.02.

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

(e)  Compensatory Arrangements for Certain Officers.

  

As previously reported in its Original Filing, the Board of Directors of Bar Harbor Bankshares (the “Company”), upon the recommendation of the Company’s Compensation and Human Resources Committee, previously approved the adoption of the 2013 Annual Incentive Plan (the “Plan”) and designated target awards for fiscal year 2013 (calculated as a percentage of base salary) for certain executive officers of the Company and its wholly owned first tier bank and second tier trust company subsidiaries, including the Company’s named executive officers.

At its meeting on April 23, 2013, the Company's Board of Directors approved an amendment to the Plan for the purpose of changing the Short-Term Incentive Threshold and Targets applicable to the Company's CEO under the 2013 Plan. The percentage ranges for the 2013 Plan year as a percentage of base salary payout for the Company's President and CEO have been amended to read as follows:

2013 Short-Term Incentive Targets	Below Threshold	Threshold (50% of Target)	Target (100%)	Stretch (150%) of Target
President and CEO	0%	15.00%	30.00%	45.00%

No other changes were made to the Plan, the remainder of the terms of which are incorporated herein by reference.
