Dear Shareholder:

It is my pleasure to inform you that our Board of Directors has adopted a Dividend Reinvestment and Stock Purchase Plan ("Plan") for Union Bankshares, Inc. (the "Company").

The Plan outlines alternatives for purchasing Union Bankshares, Inc. common stock, without incurring brokers' commissions. Participants can increase the number of shares of Company stock they own through reinvestment of dividends, additional cash purchases, or a combination of both. The Plan provides participants with the opportunity to:

• Reinvest all or a portion of their cash dividends to purchase additional shares of Company stock;

• Purchase additional shares of Company stock through optional cash contributions;

• Have their bank accounts directly debited to make purchases of Company stock;

• Deposit Company stock certificates into the Plan for safekeeping; and

• Sell shares of Company stock held in the Plan.

The Plan is administered by the Company's stock transfer agent, Broadridge Corporate Issuer Solutions, Inc., and will operate under the terms outlined in a Plan prospectus dated February 29, 2016. To view the prospectus and plan enrollment form, visit https://investor.broadridge.com and log on to your online Union Bankshares, Inc. shareholder account and select "Dividend Options." You may also obtain a copy of the Plan prospectus and enrollment form from the Plan administrator by calling 1-866-321-8022 (toll free), or emailing the administrator at shareholder@broadridge.com.

Participation in the Plan is optional. To participate, after reading the Plan prospectus, you must complete and submit an enrollment form to the Plan administrator, which may be done online in your shareholder account, or you may obtain from the Plan administrator upon request, or which you may print from the "Dividends Options" page of your online shareholder account page using your own computer and printer.

We encourage you to take advantage of this opportunity. If you have questions, please call the Plan Administrator at 1-866-321-8022 (toll free), or Kristy Adams Alfieri in our office at (802) 888-6600.

Sincerely,

David S. Silverman
