Table of Contents

GENERAL

Introduction

This Proxy Statement is furnished in connection with the solicitation of proxies by the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of Codorus Valley Bancorp, Inc. (the “Corporation”) to be used at the 2016 Annual Meeting of Shareholders. This Proxy Statement and the related proxy card are being first distributed to shareholders on or about March 30, 2016.

The Corporation will bear the expense of soliciting proxies. In addition to the use of the mail, the directors, officers and employees of the Corporation and its subsidiaries may, without additional compensation, solicit proxies in person or by telephone, e-mail, Internet or facsimile.

The Annual Meeting of Shareholders will be held on Tuesday, May 17, 2016, at 9:00 a.m. at the Codorus Valley Corporate Center, 105 Leader Heights Road, York, Pennsylvania. Shareholders of record at the close of business on March 2, 2016 are entitled to vote at the meeting.

At the Annual Meeting, shareholders will vote:

To elect two Class B directors, each to serve for a three-year term;

To approve an advisory, non-binding resolution regarding executive compensation;

To approve an amendment to our Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation to limit the transactions requiring approval of our shareholders by a supermajority vote;

To ratify the appointment of BDO USA, LLP as the Corporation’s Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2016; and

To transact any other business that may properly come before the meeting and any adjournment or postponement of the meeting.

In addition, the Corporation may ask shareholders to approve the minutes of the prior shareholders’ meeting. However, approval of such minutes is an administrative action and does not constitute approval of, or a vote for, any of the matters set forth in the minutes.

Proxies and Voting Procedures

You can vote your shares by completing and returning a written proxy card. You can also vote in person at the meeting. Alternatively, you may vote by telephone or electronically through the Internet by following the instructions on the proxy card. Submitting your voting instructions through one of these methods will not affect your right to attend the meeting and will not limit your right to vote at the annual meeting if you later decide to attend in person.

If your shares are held in a brokerage account or by a bank or other nominee, you are considered the beneficial owner of shares held in street name, and these proxy materials are being forwarded to you by your broker or nominee, who is considered, with respect to those shares, the shareholder of record. As the beneficial owner, you may have the right to direct your broker or nominee how to vote, and you are also invited to attend the meeting. However, because you are not the shareholder of record, you may not vote your street-name shares in person at the meeting unless you obtain a proxy executed in your favor from the holder of record. Please contact your broker or nominee for a voting instruction card for you to use in directing the broker or nominee how to vote your shares. Please note that brokers or nominees may not cast a vote on your behalf for the election of directors or on any other matter that is not routine without instruction from you.

By properly completing a proxy, you appoint Cindy L. Baugher, Jann Allen Weaver and Wanda Waugh as proxy holders to vote your shares as indicated on the proxy card. Any signed proxy card not specifying to the contrary will be voted FOR election of the director nominees identified in this Proxy Statement, FOR approval of the advisory, non-binding resolution regarding executive compensation, FOR approval of an Amendment to the

Table of Contents

Articles of Incorporation and FOR ratification of BDO USA, LLP as the Corporation’s independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2016.

You may revoke a previously delivered proxy by delivering written notice of revocation to Benjamin F. Riggs, Jr., Esq., Secretary of the Corporation, or by executing a later dated proxy and giving written notice of the revocation to Mr. Riggs at any time before the proxy is voted at the Annual Meeting. If you submitted your proxy by Internet or by telephone, you can vote again by voting over the Internet or by telephone. We will honor the latest vote received. Proxy holders will vote shares represented by written proxies, if properly signed and returned to the Secretary, in accordance with instructions of the shareholders.

If you are a participant in the Codorus Valley Bancorp, Inc. Dividend Reinvestment and Stock Purchase Plan, the enclosed proxy will serve as a voting instruction card for your shares held in the Plan. Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., the Plan administrator, will vote your shares held in the Dividend Reinvestment and Stock Purchase Plan in the same manner as you indicate on your proxy card.

At the close of business on March 2, 2016, the record date for the Annual Meeting, the Corporation had 7,963,528 shares of common stock, par value $2.50 per share, issued and outstanding. Each share is entitled to one vote on all matters submitted to a vote of the shareholders.

Quorum

A majority of the outstanding shares of common stock, represented in person or by proxy, constitutes a quorum for the conduct of business at the Annual Meeting. Under Pennsylvania law and the Corporation’s Bylaws, the presence of a quorum is required for each matter to be acted upon at the meeting. Votes withheld and abstentions, while not votes cast, will be counted as present for purposes of determining the presence of a quorum. Shares of common stock represented by “broker non-votes” (i.e., shares of common stock held in record name by brokers or nominees as to which (i) instructions have not been received from the beneficial owners or persons entitled to vote, (ii) the broker or nominee does not have discretionary voting power under applicable rules of the New York Stock Exchange or the instrument under which it serves in such capacity, or (iii) the record holder has indicated on the proxy or otherwise notified the Corporation that it does not have authority to vote such shares on that matter) will be counted as present for purposes of determining the presence of a quorum only if such shares have been voted at the meeting on a matter other than a procedural motion.

Required Vote

In the case of the election of directors, the two nominees receiving the highest number of votes shall be elected. A “Withhold” vote will have the effect of a vote against the election of the nominee. Abstentions and broker non-votes will have no effect on the election of directors.

Approval of the amendment to the Articles of Incorporation requires the affirmative vote of 75% of the outstanding shares of the Corporation. Approval of each of the other proposals identified in this Proxy Statement requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the shares present at the meeting, in person or by proxy. Abstentions and broker non-votes that are counted only for purposes of determining a quorum will have the effect of a vote against each of these other proposals.

Although the Board knows of no other business to be presented at the Annual Meeting, in the event that any other matters are properly brought before the meeting, any proxy given pursuant to this solicitation will be voted in accordance with the instructions of the Board as permitted by Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) Rule 14a-4(c).

Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

This Proxy Statement and the documents that have been incorporated herein by reference may contain forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. In some cases, these statements can be identified

Table of Contents

by the use of words such as “anticipate,” “believe,” “can,” “could,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intend,” “may,” “plan,” “potential,” “predict,” “should,” “target,” “will,” “would” and similar expressions. Actual results and trends could differ materially from those set forth in such statements due to various risks, uncertainties and other factors. Such risks, uncertainties and other factors that could cause actual results and experience to differ from those projected include, but are not limited to, the following: ineffectiveness of our business strategy due to changes in current or future market conditions; the effects of competition, and of changes in laws and regulations, including industry consolidation and development of competing financial products and services; interest rate movements; changes in credit quality; inability to achieve merger-related synergies; difficulties in integrating distinct business operations, including information technology difficulties; volatilities in the securities markets; and deteriorating economic conditions, and other risks and uncertainties, including those detailed in our filings with the SEC.

Although forward-looking statements help provide additional information about us, investors should keep in mind that forward-looking statements are only predictions, at a point in time, and are inherently less reliable than historical information. You are urged not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date of this Proxy Statement. We assume no obligation to update any forward-looking statement in order to reflect any event or circumstance that may arise after the date of this Proxy Statement, other than as may be required by applicable law or regulation.

GOVERNANCE OF THE CORPORATION

Our Board of Directors believes that the purpose of corporate governance is to maximize long-term shareholder value in a manner consistent with applicable law and with the highest standards of integrity. The Board adheres to corporate governance practices that the Board and management believe promote this purpose, are sound and represent best practices. We continually review these governance practices against changes in applicable federal and Pennsylvania (the state in which we are incorporated) law, the rules and listing standards of the NASDAQ Stock Market, and the rules and regulations of the SEC, as well as best practices suggested by recognized governance authorities.

Director Independence

Currently, our Board of Directors has eight (8) members. The Board has determined that the following six (6) directors are independent in accordance with the independence standards of the NASDAQ Stock Market: D. Reed Anderson, Esq., Lead Director; Brian D. Brunner; Cynthia A. Dotzel, CPA; Jeffrey R. Hines, P.E.; MacGregor S. Jones; and Dallas L. Smith.

In determining the directors’ independence, in addition to matters disclosed under “Related Person Transactions”, the Board of Directors considered each director’s beneficial ownership of Corporation common stock and loan transactions between the Corporation’s wholly-owned bank subsidiary, PeoplesBank, a Codorus Valley Company (the “Bank”), and the directors, their family members and businesses with whom they are associated, as well as any contributions made by the Bank to non-profit organizations with whom such persons are associated. In each case, the Board determined that none of the transactions above impaired the independence of the director.

Board Structure

The Corporation’s senior leadership is currently shared between the Board’s Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer and the Board’s Vice Chairman and Lead Director.

On August 9, 2015, Rodney L. Krebs, Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Corporation and the Bank, retired from the Board of Directors due to his attaining the mandatory retirement age of 75, as set forth in the Corporation’s bylaws. In connection with Mr. Krebs’ retirement, the Boards of Directors appointed Larry J. Miller, President and CEO of the Corporation and Bank, to the position of Chairman. Additionally, the Boards appointed D. Reed Anderson, Esq., a member of the Board whom the Board has determined to be independent in accordance with the independence standards of the NASDAQ Stock Market, to the position of Vice Chairman and Lead Director.

Table of Contents

The Board believes that Mr. Miller’s service as President and Chief Executive Officer of the Bank since 1981 and the Corporation since 1986 uniquely qualifies him for this role, and that the addition of several key members to the Corporation’s executive management team in recent years allows Mr. Miller the time necessary to perform the additional duties of Chairman. The Board of Directors also believes that Mr. Miller’s leadership of the Corporation over the last thirty years, together with his knowledge of the current business and regulatory environment, will ensure that management is aligned with the Board and positioned to effectively implement the business strategy endorsed by the Board.

Our Chairman is currently responsible for ensuring the smooth functioning and efficient operation of our Board by guiding the processes of our Board, presiding at Board meetings and at shareholder meetings, and acting as a liaison between our Board and our management team. In this regard, our Chairman consults regularly with our executives over business matters and provides our executives with consultation and advice on matters that require prompt attention.

The Corporation has designated D. Reed Anderson, Esq., as the independent Lead Director. As Lead Director, Mr. Anderson presides at any Board meeting at which the Chairman is not present, including executive sessions of the independent directors; serves as a liaison between the Chairman and the independent directors; reviews and consults with the Chairman regarding meeting agendas and meeting schedules of the Board; has the authority to call meetings of the independent directors; receives and responds directly to shareholder and other stakeholder questions and comments that are directed to the Lead Director or to the independent directors as a group; serves as Chair of the Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee and assists with the identification and recommendation of Board candidates; and serves as Chair of the Compensation Committee and participates in its evaluation and discussion of the Chief Executive Officer’s performance with the Chief Executive Officer.

Moreover, on at least a semi-annual basis, when the independent directors meet in executive session, without the presence of management, the independent directors meet under the leadership of the independent Lead Director.

Meetings and Committees of the Board of Directors

The Board of Directors of Codorus Valley Bancorp, Inc. met fourteen (14) times during 2015. During 2015, all directors attended at least 75% of the meetings of the Board of Directors and of the various committees on which they served. While the Corporation has no formal policy in place, directors are strongly encouraged to attend the Annual Meeting of Shareholders. All of our then serving directors attended the 2015 Annual Meeting of Shareholders, and we anticipate that almost all directors will attend this year’s meeting.

The Board of Directors of the Corporation has a standing Audit Committee, Compensation Committee, Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee and Enterprise Risk Management Committee, each of which is described below.

Audit Committee. The Audit Committee of the Board of Directors is comprised solely of directors who meet the applicable standards for independence of audit committee members of the NASDAQ Stock Market and possess the requisite knowledge or experience to serve on the Audit Committee. The current members of the Audit Committee are: Cynthia A. Dotzel, CPA (Chair); D. Reed Anderson, Esq.; Jeffrey R. Hines, P.E.; and Dallas L. Smith. The Audit Committee met four (4) times during 2015.

The principal duties of the Audit Committee, as set forth in its charter, include reviewing significant audit and accounting principles, policies and practices, reviewing performance of internal auditing procedures and recommending to the Board the engagement of the Corporation’s independent registered public accounting firm.

Cynthia A. Dotzel, CPA, Chair of the Committee, has been designated by the Board as the Audit Committee financial expert. In designating Ms. Dotzel as the Audit Committee financial expert, the Board considered her more than 25 years’ experience as a practicing certified public accountant, and her prior audit

Jones; and Dallas L. Smith. The Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee met two (2) times during 2015.

The principal duties of the Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee include developing and recommending to the Board criteria for selecting qualified director candidates, identifying individuals qualified to become Board members, evaluating and selecting, or recommending to the Board, director nominees for each election of directors, considering committee member qualifications, appointment and removal, recommending codes of conduct and codes of ethics applicable to the Corporation and providing oversight in the evaluation of the Board and each committee.

Role of the Board in Risk Oversight

The Board of Directors is responsible for oversight of the various risks facing the Corporation. In this regard, the Board seeks to understand and oversee the most critical risks relating to the Corporation’s business, to allocate responsibilities for the oversight of risks among the full Board and its committees, and to see that management has in place effective systems and processes for managing risks facing the Corporation. Overseeing risk is an ongoing process, and risk is inherently tied to strategy and to strategic decisions. Accordingly, the Board

Table of Contents

considers risk throughout the year and with respect to specific proposed actions. While the Board oversees risk, management is charged with identifying and managing risk within the risk appetites set by the Board.

The Board implements its risk oversight function both as a whole and through delegation to various committees. These committees meet regularly and report back to the full Board. The following committees play particularly significant roles in carrying out the risk oversight function.

The Enterprise Risk Management Committee: The Enterprise Risk Management Committee operates pursuant to a written charter, and provides general risk oversight and is generally responsible for risk management, which includes monitoring and ensuring that credit risk, interest rate risk, liquidity risk, price risk, transaction risk, compliance risk, strategic risk and reputation risk assumed by the Corporation is consistent with the levels established by the Board.

The committee is comprised of the Chief Risk Officer (Chair), President and Chief Executive Officer, Chief Operating Officer, General Counsel, Chief Financial Officer, Chief Credit Officer, BSA and Security Officer, and Loan Review Officer, as well as representatives from the Board of Directors (currently MacGregor S. Jones and Harry R. Swift, Esq.). The Enterprise Risk Management Committee met six (6) times during 2015. The Enterprise Risk Management Committee takes minutes at each of its meetings, and those minutes are reviewed and accepted by the Board of Directors.

The Compensation Committee: The Compensation Committee evaluates the risks and rewards associated with the Corporation’s compensation philosophy and programs.

The Audit Committee: The Audit Committee oversees the Corporation’s processes for assessing risks and the effectiveness of the Corporation’s system of internal controls. In performing this function, the Audit Committee considers information from the Corporation’s independent registered public accounting firm, internal auditors, and other consultants as it determines appropriate, and discusses relevant issues with management and the independent registered public accounting firm.

Director Nomination Process

The Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee is responsible for identifying and evaluating individuals qualified to become members of the Board of Directors and to recommend such individuals to the Board of Directors for consideration and nomination. The Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee and the Board of Directors endeavor to recruit and retain Board members who demonstrate intellectual capacity, strong interpersonal skills, good business instinct, objectivity and the highest level of personal and professional integrity. When evaluating current members of the Board of Directors and prospective candidates for the Board of Directors, the Committee seeks to balance the skill sets and attributes of existing Board members with the need for other complementary skills, talents and qualities that will position the Corporation to successfully implement its strategic vision.

In addition to requiring that each existing director and candidate for nomination possesses unquestionable character and a commitment to contribute to the success of the Corporation and the stewardship of the community, the Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee’s evaluation of director candidates includes an assessment of issues and factors regarding the individual’s education, business experience, accounting and financial expertise, age, diversity, reputation, civic and community relationships and knowledge and experience in matters that impact diversified community financial institutions. The Committee will also take into account the director candidate’s ability to devote adequate time to corporate matters, including being prepared for, and participating in, all meetings of the Board of Directors and any committees to which he or she may be assigned. When the Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee is considering current members of the Board of Directors for nomination for reelection, the Committee considers prior performance, as well as meeting attendance records.

The current practice of the Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee is to identify potential director candidates through a variety of sources. The Committee considers recommendations made by current or former directors or members of management. Potential candidates may also be identified through contacts in the

Table of Contents

business, civic, academic, legal and non-profit communities served by the Corporation. The Chairman of the Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee determines how best to approach director candidates regarding a potential nomination.

Regarding new director candidates, the Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee will evaluate whether the nominee is independent, as independence is defined under applicable standards of the NASDAQ Stock Market, and whether the nominee meets the qualifications for director outlined above, as well as any special qualifications applicable to membership on any committee to which the nominee may be appointed to serve if elected. A majority of the Board of Directors must meet the criteria for “independence” established by the NASDAQ Stock Market, and the Committee will consider any conflicts of interest that might impair that independence prior to making a decision.

The Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee will consider recommendations received from Corporation shareholders. Shareholders may recommend qualified director candidates by writing to:

Benjamin F. Riggs, Jr., Esq.

Corporate Secretary

Codorus Valley Bancorp, Inc.

P.O. Box 2887

York, PA 17405-2887

Submissions must include information regarding a candidate’s citizenship, age, background, business and personal addresses, qualifications, experience, principal occupation or employment, directorships and other positions held by the candidate in business, charitable and community organizations and his/her willingness to serve as a member of the Board of Directors. Based on a preliminary assessment of the candidate’s qualifications, the Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee may conduct interviews with, and request additional information from, the candidate.

The Board does not have a formal policy for considering director candidates recommended by shareholders due to the infrequency of nominations, but its policy is to give due consideration to any and all candidates and there are no differences in how the Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee evaluates a candidate for director based on whether the candidate is recommended by the Committee or by a shareholder.

Nomination of Directors

Article 10, Section 10.1 of the Corporation’s Bylaws requires that nominations for election as a director be made pursuant to timely notice in writing to the Secretary. To be timely, a shareholder’s notice must be delivered to or received at the principal executive office of the Corporation not less than 90 days prior to the one year anniversary date of the preceding meeting of shareholders called to elect directors. The notice must provide the specific information required by Section 10.1 of the Bylaws. The Board is required to determine whether nominations have been made in accordance with the requirements of the Bylaws. If the Board determines that a nomination was not made in accordance with the Bylaws, the shareholder may be given an opportunity to cure any deficiency in accordance with the Bylaws.

You may obtain a copy of the Corporation’s Bylaws by writing to Benjamin F. Riggs, Jr., Esq., Corporate Secretary, Codorus Valley Bancorp, Inc., P.O. Box 2887, York, PA 17405-2887. Additionally, a copy of the Corporation’s current Bylaws has been filed with the SEC as Exhibit 3.1 to Form 8-K filed January 12, 2016.

Deadline for Submission of Shareholder Proposals

In order for a shareholder to include a proposal in the Corporation’s Proxy Statement for presentation at the 2017 Annual Meeting of Shareholders, the proposal must be received by the Corporation at its principal executive offices c/o Benjamin F. Riggs, Jr., Esq., Corporate Secretary, Codorus Valley Bancorp, Inc., P.O. Box 2887, York, PA 17405-2887, no later than November 30, 2016. Any such proposal must comply with Rule 14a-8 of Regulation

Table of Contents

14A of the proxy rules of the SEC. If a shareholder proposal is submitted to the Corporation after November 30, 2016, it will not be included in the Corporation’s 2017 Proxy Statement.

Communicating with Directors

The Board of Directors has established a process for shareholders and other interested parties to communicate directly with the Chairman of the Board of Directors or its independent directors, individually, or the Board of Directors, collectively, by submitting written correspondence to the following address:

Chairman of the Board of Directors (or name of individual, independent director)

c/o Benjamin F. Riggs, Jr., Esq.

Corporate Secretary

Codorus Valley Bancorp, Inc.

P.O. Box 2887

The Corporate Secretary may facilitate direct communications with the Board of Directors or individual, independent directors by reviewing and summarizing such communications. All such communications will be referred to the Chairman of the Board of Directors or individual, independent directors for consideration unless otherwise instructed by the Board of Directors.

PROPOSAL 1 – Election of Directors

The Corporation’s Bylaws provide that the Board of Directors shall consist of not less than five (5) nor more than twenty-five (25) persons. The Bylaws also provide that the Board of Directors shall be divided into three (3) classes, with directors of each class to be elected for a term of three (3) years, so that the term of office of one class of directors expires at the annual meeting each year. Each class consists, as nearly as possible, of one-third of the directors. The Board of Directors determines the number of directors in each class.

A majority of the Board of Directors may increase or decrease the number of directors between meetings of the shareholders. Any vacancy occurring on the Board of Directors, whether due to an increase in the number of directors, resignation, retirement, death, or any other reason, may be filled by appointment by the remaining directors. Any director who is appointed to fill a vacancy holds office until the expiration of the term of the class of directors to which he or she was appointed. The Corporation’s Bylaws mandate the retirement of directors at age 75.

The Board of Directors has fixed the number of directors at eight (8). There are two (2) nominees for the Board of Directors for election at the 2016 Annual Meeting. The Board of Directors has nominated the following two (2) individuals for election to the Board of Directors, each for a three-year term:

Each of the nominees presently serves as a director of the Corporation.

If the nominees should become unavailable for any reason, proxies received from shareholders will be voted in favor of substitute nominees, as the Board of Directors shall determine. The Board of Directors has no reason to believe that the nominees will be unable to serve if elected.

Cumulative voting does not exist in the election of directors. Each share of Corporation common stock is entitled to cast one vote for each nominee. For example, if a shareholder owns ten shares of common stock, he or she may cast up to ten votes for each of the two nominees to be elected.

The Board of Directors recommends a vote FOR the foregoing nominees.

Executive Summary

Key 2015 Business Accomplishments

The 2015 year was a very successful one for the Corporation despite a very challenging economic and regulatory environment. The Corporation continued to evolve as we completed the merger acquisition of Madison Bancorp, Inc., and continued our organic growth through the opening of multiple new offices. As we look back on the 2015 year as an organization, we are extremely proud of the following key accomplishments:

Key Strategic Accomplishments:

Successfully completed the merger acquisition of Madison Bancorp, Inc. (“Madison”) with minimal organizational, operational or accounting challenges, which added over $130 million in assets, $120 million in deposits, twenty-two associates, and four additional financial centers to our Maryland footprint, including branches in the highly-desirable markets of Baltimore and Harford Counties.

Opened a new financial center in Shrewsbury, Pennsylvania, featuring enhanced technologies and reflecting a new prototype financial center design.

Relocated our South Hanover, Pennsylvania financial center from a leased facility to a newly-constructed office reflecting the same modernistic design and technological capabilities as the Shrewsbury prototype.

Consolidated two financial centers in the city of York, Pennsylvania into one larger and more modern Center City York financial center, providing for expanded services for customers, while realizing long-term cost savings through the overhead reduction of two leased locations to one. We also consolidated two financial centers in Bel Air, Maryland, moving the personnel and accounts from a smaller loan-production office to an adjacent full-service financial center acquired in the Madison transaction. Beyond one-time lease termination costs, the consolidation will provide long-term overhead savings without a compromise to access or services for our Bel Air, Maryland customers.

Acquired and renovated a commercial building located in close proximity to our corporate headquarters to serve as the PeoplesBank Administrative Services Center and to fulfill operational and administrative needs required of our expanding customer base.

Table of Contents

Further solidified our executive leadership team and Board of Directors with the hiring of a new Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer, the appointment of a new Chief Lending Officer, and the appointment of a new, independent director.

Key Financial Accomplishments:

Total assets grew to over $1.4 billion by the end of 2015, and total loans grew to over $1.1 billion, reflecting both continued organic growth throughout the year in our core business banking activities, as well as the loans and deposits added from our January 2015 acquisition of Madison.

Earnings for the year ended December 31, 2015 were $1.76 per share basic and $1.75 per share diluted, with a return on average equity of 8.94 percent, as adjusted.

Distributed to common shareholders both a five percent common stock dividend and cash dividends totaling $0.486 per share.

Completed a $34.5 million public offering of common stock, resulting in net proceeds of approximately $32 million, enhancing our already well-capitalized financial position, providing support for our ongoing loan growth and future franchise expansion, and providing a source of funds to facilitate the redemption of the remaining $12 million of preferred stock held by the U.S Treasury pursuant to the Small Business Lending Fund program.

Key 2015 Compensation Program Attributes

The Committee strives to implement an executive compensation program that is aligned with the philosophy of the Corporation, as well as achieves its desired objectives. Overall, we believe that our compensation programs are fair, reasonable, competitive with our peers and reflective of best practice. Listed below are some of the key attributes of our compensation program, which form the basis for our opinion:

Our salaries are competitive with the median for comparably-sized banks.

Our overall compensation program is performance-oriented and reflects our pay-for-performance culture.

We have strong risk-mitigating design principles, such as placing caps on our annual incentive opportunities, measuring performance across multiple measures - including asset quality, and including vesting requirements on our long-term incentive awards.

We seek and receive advice from independent experts in executive compensation.

2015 Compensation Decisions

The Corporation’s significant accomplishments in 2015, including those identified above, led to a number of decisions by the Committee and Board throughout the year that reflect the desire to retain and motivate an employee base and executive team that will continue to challenge each other for performance results. Key highlights as they relate to compensation programs or actions include:

Mid-year salary adjustments for certain named executive officers to more closely reflect market value for such positions, as well as increased responsibilities arising as a result of the growth of the Corporation and the assumption of additional duties resulting from the resignation of the Corporation’s Chief Operating Officer in the first quarter.

Continued inclusion of performance goals and caps in our annual executive incentive plan to promote short-term, but responsible, growth.

Continued reliance on equity grants with various vesting periods to incent retention and promote long-term stock appreciation.

Table of Contents

The remainder of this Compensation Discussion & Analysis, as well as the Summary Compensation Table and supporting tabular disclosures, are intended to provide greater detail on the compensation philosophy, roles, programs, processes, and actions in 2015.

Executive Compensation Philosophy and Objectives

The Committee believes the success of the Corporation is driven through hiring, developing and retaining qualified executives who are motivated to perform for the benefit of our employees, customers, shareholders and the community. The executive compensation program is designed to:

Further the strategic goals of the Corporation.

Align the interests of our executives with our shareholders.

Be balanced in terms of the mix of cash and equity compensation payable under the program.

Be competitive with our peers.

Motivate and reward executives for achievement of high levels of performance against defined goals and objectives – both short- and long-term.

Enable the Corporation to attract and retain key executives capable of maximizing the Corporation’s performance.

Be prudent and fiscally responsible.

Ensure regulatory compliance.

Provide for a balanced mix of fixed and variable compensation.

Motivate and reward executives without encouraging undue risk-taking which could materially threaten the safety and soundness of the Corporation or any individual business unit.

The Corporation seeks to provide all of its executive officers with a comprehensive program of compensation and benefit opportunities consistent with prevailing practices among publicly-traded financial services organizations of similar asset size (including slightly smaller and slightly larger), market profiles, operating circumstances and regionally similar geographic locations. The Committee believes that this level of market competitiveness appropriately positions the Corporation to attract, motivate, reward and retain the caliber of executive talent required to enable the Corporation to achieve its short- and long-term strategic goals and objectives. When deemed necessary by the Committee, position values are established based on compensation practices of larger institutions with which the Corporation competes for executive talent in its local and regional labor market.

The executive compensation program is intended to provide participating executives with a balanced and market-competitive mix of fixed and performance-based variable compensation and benefit provisions. The variable compensation features include annual cash incentives to reward short-term performance relative to our annual business plans and long-term incentives, in the form of equity grants, to reward future performance of the Corporation and increased shareholder value. Short- and long-term incentives are designed to focus executives’ efforts on the strategic goals and objectives of the Corporation and to link executives’ financial rewards with the interests of the Corporation’s shareholders.

All components of compensation, both fixed and variable, are targeted at the median of our industry peer group, as identified by the Committee in consultation with its compensation consultant. The variable incentive award opportunities allow executives to earn total compensation which is above the median of industry norms when their individual and collective performance significantly exceeds established goals and objectives as outlined in the Corporation’s strategic plan or goals and objectives established for their positions. When corporate and or individual performance is below goals and objectives, variable compensation plans are designed to result in compensation that lags behind the market.

Role of the Compensation Committee, Management and the Compensation Consultant in the Executive Compensation Process

Role of the Compensation Committee

The Compensation Committee is appointed by the Corporation’s Board of Directors to discharge the Board’s responsibilities relating to compensation of the Corporation’s executive officers and other key employees of its subsidiaries. Six members of our Board of Directors sit on the Committee, each of whom is an independent director under the NASDAQ Stock Market listing requirements. To fulfill its responsibilities, the Committee meets approximately quarterly throughout the year (four times in 2015). The Chair of the Committee reports on Committee actions at meetings of the Board of Directors and prepares written minutes of Committee meetings, which are accepted to the Board.

The Committee has overall responsibility for evaluating and approving the compensation plans, policies and programs of the Corporation applicable to its key executives. In discharging its responsibilities, the Committee establishes the Corporation’s general compensation philosophy, and oversees the development and implementation of the Corporation’s executive compensation programs and related policies.

The Committee reviews the operation and effectiveness of the executive compensation program on a continuous basis discussing current regulatory issues, industry trends and internal Corporation needs with respect to executive compensation.

The Committee may request information from management about the Corporation, the performance of the business and the executive compensation program to evaluate effectiveness and to recommend program modifications and changes for Board consideration. It may also recommend to the Board changes in the scope of its responsibilities beyond the positions currently designated as “executive” to include other critical positions in the Corporation.

Based upon corporate goals and objectives approved by the Board, the Compensation Committee annually reviews and approves corporate goals and objectives that are specifically relevant to Chief Executive Officer compensation and evaluates the Chief Executive Officer’s performance in light of those goals and objectives. Based on such evaluation, the Committee sets the compensation (including base salary, incentive compensation, employment terms (such as severance agreements, employment agreements and change in control agreements, if and when appropriate) and equity-based awards or special or supplemental benefits)) of the Chief Executive Officer subject to ratification by the full Board of Directors. In determining compensation, the Compensation Committee may consider, among other factors, the Corporation’s performance and relative shareholder return, the nature, extent and acceptability of risks that the Chief Executive Officer may be encouraged to take by such compensation, the value of similar incentive awards to chief executive officers at comparable companies, and the awards given to the Chief Executive Officer in past years.

In addition to determining Chief Executive Officer compensation, the Committee annually reviews and recommends to the Board for approval the compensation of executive officers other than the Chief Executive Officer.

The Committee is also responsible for reviewing the Corporation’s incentive compensation plans, equity-based plans, retirement plans, deferred compensation plans and welfare benefit plans. Unless their administration is otherwise delegated in accordance with the provisions of such plans, the Committee administers such plans, including determining any incentive or equity-based awards to be granted to executive officers under such plans.

In order to discharge its responsibilities, the Committee has the authority and is provided the resources to obtain advice and assistance from internal or external legal, compensation, human resource, accounting and other advisors or consultants as it deems necessary or appropriate. These services are provided as a matter of practice as requested by the Committee and such advisors report directly to the Committee.

Details on the Committee’s functions are more fully described in its charter. As part of its responsibilities, the Committee reviews its charter in the development of an annual work plan and recommends any proposed

changes to the Board for approval. The Committee’s Charter can be viewed at the Corporation’s website, www.peoplesbanknet.com under the “Governance Documents” tab.

The Committee will continue to review, evaluate, and revise the compensation philosophy as appropriate to meet its desired objectives.

Role of the Compensation Consultant

The Committee has the authority to hire, fire, and seek the services of compensation consulting and advisory firms as it deems appropriate. These advisors serve as independent counsel and report directly to the Committee. As a matter of general policy the Committee does not prohibit its advisors from providing services to management, but any such engagements must be approved by the Committee.

In August 2015, the Committee hired the independent outside consulting firm Meridian Compensation Partners, LLC, sometimes referred to in this discussion as Meridian, which specializes in executive and board compensation. Meridian reports directly to the Committee and carries out its responsibilities to the Committee in coordination with the human resources department, as requested by the Committee. Meridian only provides services on behalf of the Committee and did not perform any additional services to the Corporation during 2015.

In December 2014, Mosteller & Associates, Inc. provided guidance to the Committee in establishing base salaries for the Chief Executive Officer and other named executive officers for 2015. Mosteller continued to provide these services until the hiring of Meridian in August 2015.

Role of Management

The Committee often requests one or more members of executive or senior management, such as the Chief Executive Officer and Senior Vice President of Human Resources, to be present at Committee meetings where executive compensation and corporate or individual performance are discussed and evaluated. Although the Committee is ultimately responsible for executive compensation decisions, information and input from senior management is critical to ensuring the Committee and its advisors have the information needed to make informed decisions. Executives may provide insight, suggestions or recommendations regarding executive compensation. However, only Committee members vote on decisions regarding executive compensation. In all cases, no executive officer shall be present at meetings at which their compensation or performance is discussed or determined by the Committee.

Below is a summary of the role of management in assisting the Committee to discharge its responsibilities:

The Chief Executive Officer develops recommendations for corporate goals and corresponding weightings and incentive performance metrics for the annual executive incentive plan and presents the same to the Committee for its consideration. The Committee has final approval of the goals, weightings and metrics to be used for purposes of the annual executive incentive plan.

The Chief Executive Officer presents performance summaries and recommendations relating to the other named executive officers and other key executives’ compensation to the Committee for its review and approval. The Committee Chair ensures feedback is shared with the full Board for the purposes of making informed compensation decisions.

As deemed necessary, the Chief Executive Officer and Senior Vice President of Human Resources provide the Committee with data necessary to evaluate and implement compensation proposals and programs.

The Senior Vice President of Human Resources coordinates external legal support related to employment agreements and retirement programs.

The Senior Vice President of Human Resources provides data and information to the Committee, as requested, and also assists the Committee Chair in determining the logistics and agenda for the meeting.

At the direction of the Committee, the Senior Vice President of Human Resources works with outside consultants to provide data and information relative to the Committee’s needs and objectives.

Factors Considered in Determining Executive Compensation

The Committee’s compensation decisions throughout the year were supported by various analyses, information and input including, but not limited to:

Total compensation philosophy and objectives.

Pay target guidelines as developed in consultation with our independent compensation consultant.

Strategic plans and performance relative to annual goals.

Competitive benchmarking reviews conducted by our independent compensation consultant.

Risk assessment/mitigation considerations.

Individual performance, overall leadership, and potential.

Individual performance related to leading and upholding the Corporation’s vision, mission and values.

External influences, economic conditions and industry factors.

Executive attraction and retention considerations.

Best/emerging practices as provided by outside consultants.

Changing regulations.

Director and Committee input as gathered during executive sessions.

Internal equity considerations.

Cost, tax, and accounting considerations.

Competitive Benchmarking

In August, 2015, Meridian was retained by the Committee to conduct a comprehensive review of the Corporation’s executive compensation program. The purpose of this review was to provide an independent and objective analysis of all elements of compensation (individually and in the aggregate), including pay and performance alignment relative to the practices of a new market and peer group prompted by the growth of the organization. In addition, the Committee reviewed best/emerging practices as provided by Meridian in relation to key compensation governance institutions and shareholder advisory firms. Ultimately, the combination of information derived from Meridian regarding competitive market data and the Committee’s review of compensation governance best practices was determined to support the compensation decisions previously made and, yet to be made, for the organization.

A primary data source used in setting competitive market practices for the named executive officers is the information publicly disclosed by a peer group of other publicly traded bank holding companies. This peer group was developed by Meridian using objective parameters that reflect institutions of similar asset size operating within our geographic region, and was ultimately discussed with and approved by the Committee. The peer group will be reviewed and updated from time to time, as appropriate, since comparable institutions may change depending on the current size of the Corporation, acquisitions and business focus of the Corporation or peer institutions. Overall, the goal is to maintain data from a group of 20 comparative bank holding companies that provide a market perspective for executive compensation.

The 2015 peer group consisted of 20 bank holding companies in Pennsylvania and contiguous states ranging from approximately $1 billion to $3 billion in assets, positioning the Corporation slightly below the median in terms of asset size.

Table of Contents

The following is the peer group used as a result of the November 2015 review conducted by Meridian:

Univest Corporation of Pennsylvania	Sun Bancorp, Inc.
Arrow Financial Corporation	CNB Financial Corporation
Suffolk Bancorp	Peoples Financial Services Corp.
Chemung Financial Corporation	BCB Bancorp, Inc.
First United Corporation	Old Line Bancshares, Inc.
Penns Woods Bancorp, Inc.	Republic First Bancorp, Inc.
Citizens & Northern Corporation	Orrstown Financial Services, Inc.
Community Financial Corporation	AmeriServ Financial, Inc.
ACNB Corporation	Shore Bancshares, Inc.
1^stConstitution Bancorp	Unity Bancorp, Inc.

In addition to the peer group data, Meridian used several other sources of data to identify general compensation trends with respect to cash compensation (i.e., base salary and incentives), including comparative data from industry surveys using the appropriate scope (asset size and region) and a proprietary database of national banking compensation data. Data utilized reflected institutions representing similar asset size and region to the Corporation.

Information derived from the competitive market analysis was used by Meridian to develop market competitive guidelines intended to support the Corporation’s total compensation philosophy. Using this information, Meridian then presented to the Committee the guidelines for base salary, short and long-term incentive targets and estimated total direct compensation (assuming all elements paid at expectation/goal levels), so the Committee could see the potential pay and range of pay for each executive role. These guidelines provided a framework for consideration by the Committee in setting future compensation levels as described below.

Total Compensation and Performance Alignment

The Committee seeks to ensure that the total compensation package paid to executives is considered in the aggregate (i.e., the sum of its parts) and is properly aligned with the Corporation’s performance. The Corporation’s performance is evaluated in light of a number of factors, including corporate and individual performance in light of our own performance targets and industry/peer results, overall financial performance and strategic accomplishments that position the Corporation for success going forward. Performance goals in our incentive plans are positioned at levels that are achievable, but require increased effort on the part of our management team.

The Committee receives regular updates on the Corporation’s performance relative to performance goals and industry realities.

The Committee will continue to refine its assessment processes and peer groups to ensure its comparisons are appropriate.

Risk Assessment/Mitigation Considerations

As a bank holding company with its principal subsidiary a Pennsylvania-chartered bank, both of which are subject to significant federal and state regulation and regulatory oversight, the Corporation has always adhered to defined risk guidelines, practices and controls designed to ensure the safety and soundness of the organization. Our management and Board of Directors conduct regular reviews of our business to ensure we remain within appropriate regulatory guidelines and appropriate practice, supplemented by our internal audit and compliance function.

Annually, the Committee reviews the Corporation’s executive incentive plans and assesses the extent to which incentives established by these policies relate to or influence excessive risk-taking on the part of participating employees. The Committee reviewed the plans in January 2015, including a discussion of the revised and expanded annual executive incentive plan, and the performance goals driving awards under these plans. The performance goals include measures intended to ensure that participating executives do not engage in activities or behaviors that create undue risk for the Corporation.

Table of Contents

The Committee approved a clawback policy on January 12, 2016 that requires, to the extent legally permitted, the return, repayment or forfeiture of any annual or long-term incentive compensation payment or award made or granted to any current or former executive officer if the payment or award was based on financial statements filed with the SEC within the prior 3-years that were subject to a restatement due to noncompliance with the rules and regulations of the SEC or misconduct by an executive officer.

Assessing Industry Competitiveness

Based on the information provided by Meridian, as well as national and regional compensation practice survey reports for financial services companies with assets of similar size scope to the Corporation, the Committee believes the types and levels of compensation provisions included in our executive compensation program are consistent with current features and “best practices” among organizations of similar size, regional geography and type.

Compensation Components and 2015 Decisions

The Corporation’s compensation program consists of four main components: Base Salary, Annual Incentives, Long-Term Incentive/Equity, and Benefits and Perquisites. The following section summarizes the role of each component in the decision making process, how decisions are made and the resulting 2015 decision with respect to the named executive officers.

Base Salary

Objective. The Corporation believes the purpose of base salary is to provide competitive and fair base compensation that recognizes the executives’ role, responsibilities, experience and performance. Base salary represents fixed compensation that is targeted to be competitive with the practices of comparable financial institutions in the region.

Typically, the Committee sets base salary for each executive in January of each year. Salaries are determined in consideration of the competitive market for similar roles, as well as each individual’s experience, performance and contributions. Input from the Chief Executive Officer is considered in setting executive salaries, while the Committee is solely responsible for recommending the Chief Executive Officer’s salary.

Annual opportunities for salary increases may be affected by changes in the market value of the position, but are based primarily on the performance of the individual during the most recent performance period.

2015 and 2016 Decisions. In August 2015, the Committee retained Meridian to complete an executive total compensation review, using a new peer group including financial organizations with assets between $1 billion and $3 billion in Pennsylvania and contiguous states. In January 2016, after thoroughly reviewing the results of the 2016 executive total compensation review, the Committee affirmed its previous direction to establish base salary compensation in relation to the peer group benchmarks. The Committee approved the following base salary adjustments:


Named Executive Officer	Title	2015 Base Salary⁽¹⁾			% Increase	2016 Base Salary
Larry J. Miller	Chief Executive Officer	$	460,000	⁽²⁾	0.0%	$	460,000

The August 15, 2015 increase was a result of range adjustments made by the Compensation Committee based upon information provided by Meridian.

Annual Incentives

Objectives and Process. Initially adopted in 2012, the objective of the Corporation’s annual executive incentive plan is to motivate and reward key members of management for achieving specific corporate and individual performance goals that support the Corporation’s strategic plan through the use of cash awards. Awards under this plan represent compensation that must be earned (and re-earned each year) based upon corporate performance.

The proposed corporate performance goal for the incentive plan is developed by the Chief Executive Officer based on budget projections and is typically presented by the Chief Executive Officer to the Committee in January or February of each year. To support and enhance the team dynamics among the executive group, the corporate performance goal is identical for each participant. Once the performance goal is finalized and approved by the Committee, it is presented to the full Board for final approval.

The annual executive incentive plan provides target payout opportunities that are intended to be consistent with those offered by the Corporation’s peers. The targets and performance measures for the 2015 compensation year are described below. In the event that awards are not triggered in a plan year due to a failure to achieve the threshold goal, the Board of Directors may create a pool equal to 3% of the base compensation of plan participants, other than the Chief Executive Officer, and pay awards to such participants in such amounts as the Board deems appropriate to reflect exceptional individual performance, if any.

Award Opportunity: The table below illustrates the 2015 award opportunities (expressed as a percentage of base salary) available under our annual executive incentive plan upon achievement of the Corporate performance measure.

Participant

Other Named Executive Officers

20%

30%

Trigger/Gate: Prior to the payment of any award under the plan, the Corporation’s external auditors must attest to the financial performance of the Corporation to determine whether the performance measure was achieved. The Chief Executive Officer reviews the financial performance generally and in relation to the strategic goals.

Corporate Performance Measure: The 2015 performance measure was budgeted net income (defined in the plan as net income after all expenses, excluding the anticipated expense of any awards payable under the plan). In order to trigger awards under the plan, the Corporation was required to achieve at least 90% of budgeted net income (in order to payout at the Threshold level). Payouts at the Target or Maximum level required achievement of 100% and 120% of budgeted net income, respectively. In the event that performance falls between two categories, the award opportunity is interpolated between the two categories. For example, if performance was 95% of budgeted net income, then the award opportunity for the Chief Executive Officer would be 18.75%.

Table of Contents

The table below sets forth the 2015 performance measures based upon a budgeted net income goal of $11,924,000:


Threshold Performance (90% of Goal)		Target Performance (100% of Goal)		Maximum Performance (120% of Goal)

$	10,731,600	$	11,924,000	$	14,308,800

Individual Performance Factor: The Board of Directors retains discretion under the plan to adjust an individual’s award, up or down, by up to 20% in the case of the Chief Executive Officer and 35% in the case of all other participants, taking into account the individual’s performance during the year. A decision to make an adjustment is based on input from the Chief Executive Officer as to all other participants, or the Committee, as to the Chief Executive Officer. The Board of Directors retains discretion to suspend payments under the plan if it determines that excessive risk has been taken by one or more individuals.

Potential Award Ranges: The table below illustrates the total potential 2015 award ranges (expressed as a percentage of base salary) available under our annual executive incentive plan, taking into account the corporate performance measure and the potential impact of the individual performance factor:

Long-Term Incentive/Equity Compensation

Objectives. The granting of equity-based incentives is viewed as a desirable long-term incentive compensation strategy because it closely links the interest of management with shareholder value, aids in employee retention, and motivates executives to improve the long-term stock market performance of our common stock.

When granting equity-based incentives to executives, the Committee considers the competitive market practice, corporate performance and/or individual performance. The Committee also considers the Chief Executive Officer’s recommendations for other named executive officers, which are based upon each executive’s level of responsibility and contribution towards achievement of our business plan and objectives. The Committee is authorized, in its discretion, to grant equity-based awards under the Corporation’s existing stock option and stock incentive plans and upon such terms and conditions as the Committee may determine. Historically, equity-based incentive awards have been granted on an annual basis in the form of stock options and restricted stock.

Table of Contents

2015 Award Decisions. In November 2015, the Chief Executive Officer presented recommendations for equity-based long term incentive awards to executive officers (other than himself) in the form of restricted stock grants and stock options to the Committee. The recommendations were based on an analysis of best practices among our peer group relative to equity awards and guidelines provided by Meridian. On the basis of these recommendations and the guidelines provided by Meridian, the Committee approved equity awards in the form of restricted stock grants to the Chief Executive Officer and of restricted stock grants and stock options to executive officers, which vest in equal amounts over a three year period. The 2015 grants awarded to the named executive officers on November 17, 2015 are summarized below and in the Grants of Plan Based Awards Table on page 37. All awards were made under the Corporation’s 2007 Long-Term Incentive Plan (the “2007 Plan”).

Named Executive Officer	Title	Grant Date		Option Awards (#)	Restricted Shares Granted (#)		Exercise or Base Price of Option Awards ($/Sh)	Grant Value Fair Value of Stock and Option Awards ($)
Larry J. Miller	Chief Executive Officer		11/17/15	-		6,606	-	137,999
Michael D. Peduzzi	Chief Financial Officer		11/17/15	5,261		1,005	20.89	41,993
Amy L. Doll	Senior Vice President		11/17/15	5,261		1,005	20.89	41,993
Benjamin F. Riggs, Jr., Esq.	General Counsel		11/17/15	3,632		694	20.89	28,995
Stephen M. Altland	Senior Vice President		11/17/15	4,634		885	20.89	36,985

In total, the Corporation granted 5,185 incentive stock options, 51,074 non-qualified stock options, and 17,558 shares of restricted stock under the 2007 Plan to the Corporation’s executive and other officers in 2015. The 2007 Plan originally reserved 527,227 shares (adjusted for stock dividends) of the Corporation’s common stock for issuance, of which 106,313 shares remain available for issuance as of December 31, 2015.

Perquisites and Other Benefits

The Corporation provides select executives perquisites and other benefits described below, which the Committee believes are reasonable and consistent with the Corporation’s overall compensation philosophy. The Committee regularly reviews and refines executive benefits to ensure market competitiveness.

Executive Perquisites. The Corporation provides a limited number of perquisites to key executives that the Committee believes are necessary for conducting business, are reasonable and enable us to attract and retain high performing employees for our key senior management positions. These benefits also allow our executives to maintain direct contact and involvement with current and prospective customers, as well as non-profit organizations in the communities in which we do business. The Committee periodically reviews the levels of perquisites and other personal benefits provided to the named executive officers.

The primary perquisites are: corporate owned automobiles for certain executives, club memberships for certain executives and life insurance programs. These perquisites represent a relatively insignificant portion of the total compensation of each named executive officer. The aggregate incremental cost to the Corporation for these perquisites is set forth in the Summary Compensation Table under the “All Other Compensation” column and related notes.

Employment and Change in Control Agreements with Named Executive Officers. The Corporation is party to an employment agreement with Mr. Miller, Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer, and a Change in Control Agreement with Mr. Riggs, General Counsel and Secretary. The Corporation was also a party to an employment agreement with Mr. Allen, former Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer, the right to payment pursuant to which was triggered in connection with Mr. Allen’s resignation effective March 31, 2015. The

Table of Contents

Board of Directors views such agreements as integral in ensuring the continued dedication of the executives to the Corporation and promoting stability of management, particularly in the event of a change in control of the Corporation. These agreements are described further under “Employment Agreements” on page 37.

Long-Term Nursing Care Agreement. On December 27, 2005, the Corporation and the Bank entered into a Long-Term Nursing Care Agreement with Mr. Miller, with the final premium installment paid in 2013. The policy was originally purchased on May 27, 2003. The cost of long-term nursing care is a growing concern among executives as they transition through life phases. The Compensation Committee believes that good health care planning reduces the amount of time and attention that Mr. Miller must spend on that topic and maximizes the net financial reward to Mr. Miller of the compensation he receives from the Corporation.

Supplemental Long-Term Disability Program. The Corporation provides supplemental long-term disability insurance for Mr. Miller. The policy is designed to supplement coverage, in the event of a disability, to bridge the gap between payments under the Corporation’s general short- and long-term disability plans and the executive’s salary.

Employee Stock Bonus Plan. In 2001, the Corporation implemented an Employee Stock Bonus Plan, administered by non-employee members of the Corporation’s Board of Directors, under which the Corporation may issue shares of its common stock to employees as performance-based compensation. As of December 31, 2015, 17,372 shares of common stock were reserved for possible issuance under this plan, subject to future adjustment in the event of specified changes in the Corporation’s capital structure. No shares were issued under the Employee Stock Bonus Plan in 2015.

Codorus Valley Bancorp, Inc. Employee Stock Purchase Plan. The Employee Stock Purchase Plan (“ESPP”) was designed to encourage and enable employees of the Corporation and its subsidiaries to acquire an ownership interest in the Corporation through a regular investment program. The Corporation believes that employees who participate in the ESPP will have a closer identification with the Corporation by virtue of their ability, as shareholders, to participate in the Corporation’s growth and earnings, and will be motivated to improve their job performance accordingly. Under the ESPP, employees may use payroll deductions to purchase stock of no more than 500 shares per year. The purchase price for shares purchased under the ESPP currently represents a 15% discount to the fair market value of the shares on the semi-annual purchase date.

401(k) Retirement Plan. The Bank maintains and sponsors a defined contribution 401(k) retirement plan. The 401(k) plan is administered by a committee which is appointed by the Board of Directors. The 401(k) plan is subject to the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and to the regulations promulgated thereunder. Participants are entitled to certain rights and protection under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended.

Each full-time Bank employee who attains the age of 21, and successfully completes any probationary period(s), or if a part- time employee completes 1,000 hours of service per year, the employee may participate in the 401(k) plan. An eligible employee may elect to contribute certain portions of salary, wages, or commissions to the 401(k) plan. Generally, eligible employees may not contribute more than 50% of their compensation. In 2015, the Bank matched 100% of each employee’s contribution up to 4% of the employee’s salary. Employee and employer contributions to the 401(k) plan vest immediately.

Officer Group Term Replacement Insurance Plans. The Corporation provides an officers’ life insurance program for certain Bank officers, including each of the named executive officers. This program provides a death benefit to the officer’s beneficiary in an amount equal to three (3) times the officer’s highest base salary during employment; provided, the officer is employed by the Corporation at the time of his or her death. Under this program, the Bank is the beneficiary of any death proceeds remaining after an officer’s death benefit is paid to his or her beneficiary. The Committee believes that this benefit helps the Corporation attract and retain talented individuals to the management team. It also believes that it is an appropriate compensation strategy to provide for the continuing lifestyle of the officers’ families in the case of death.

Table of Contents

Other Benefits. The named executive officers also participate in the Corporation’s other benefit plans on the same terms as other employees. These plans include medical and dental insurance, short and long-term disability insurance, and discounts on the Corporation’s products and services.

Impact of Accounting and Tax on the Form of Compensation

The Compensation Committee and management consider the accounting and tax (individual and corporate) consequences of the compensation plans prior to making changes to the plans.

The Committee has considered the impact of Accounting Standards Codification Topic 718, as issued by the FASB, on the Corporation’s use of equity incentives as a key retention tool.

Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code limits deduction of compensation paid to named executive officers to $1,000,000 unless the compensation is “performance-based”. In the Corporation’s case, base salary is not considered a performance-based vehicle and would not be a deductible compensation expense. Based on the current salaries, the Corporation does not believe Section 162(m) will be triggered for our Chief Executive Officer or executive officers in 2016, but may consider this in future years.

Compensation Committee Report

The Compensation Committee has reviewed and discussed with management the Compensation Discussion and Analysis that is required by the rules established by the Securities and Exchange Commission. Based on such review and discussion, the Committee recommended to the Board of Directors that the Compensation Discussion and Analysis be included in this Proxy Statement.

Nonqualified Deferred Compensation Table

The following table presents information related to the salary continuation agreement (“SERP”) between the Bank and Mr. Miller, which is the Corporation’s only non-qualified deferred compensation plan maintained for the benefit of its named executive officers. Originally executed October 1, 1998, the SERP provides for certain payments to Mr. Miller following his normal retirement date and continuing for 240 months. The SERP provides an annual benefit at normal retirement age (age 60) of $130,433. On December 23, 2008, the SERP was amended to add a 4% annualized increase if the executive remains employed beyond his normal retirement age, up to a maximum of five (5) years. The agreement contains provisions for early retirement, disability benefits, death benefits and payments on specified changes of control. The agreement also contains non-competition provisions that prohibit him from competing with the Corporation or the Bank within fifty (50) miles of the Bank’s registered office for a period of three (3) years following a termination of employment for any reason other than a change of control. Because payments due under the SERP vest gradually over a period of time, the SERP serves to encourage longevity with the Corporation and Bank. The Committee believes that it is appropriate to reward long-term executives with benefits that provide for a retirement lifestyle commensurate with that they experienced during their professional careers.

Employment Agreements

The Corporation and the Bank have entered into an employment agreement with Mr. Miller, the material terms of which are described below. The Corporation is not a party to an employment agreement willing other named executive officers, except for Mr. Allen, which was terminated upon his resignation Effective March 31, 2015.

Larry J. Miller, Chairman, President & Chief Executive Officer. On December 27, 2005, the Corporation, the Bank and Mr. Miller entered into an employment agreement for an initial term of three years. The term of the agreement renews automatically for an additional twelve (12) months at the end of each calendar year, unless the Corporation and the Bank provide written notice to Mr. Miller of non-renewal.

Under the terms of the agreement, as amended effective March 8, 2016, Mr. Miller serves as the President Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of the Corporation and Executive Chairman of the Bank. The agreement contains a confidentiality provision and a non-competition provision that prohibits Mr. Miller from competing with the Corporation or the Bank within fifty (50) miles of the Bank’s registered office for a period of one (1) year following his termination of employment for any reason other than a change of control.

Table of Contents

Mr. Miller received an annual salary of $460,000 in 2015. In connection with his retirement from the positions of President and Chief Executive Officer of the Bank and his transition to the role of Executive Chair effective March 8, 2016, his annual salary was reduced to $250,000.

Pursuant to his agreement, the Boards of Directors have discretion to pay a periodic bonus to Mr. Miller. At the present time, Mr. Miller is not entitled to receive director’s fees or other compensation for serving on the Corporation’s or the Bank’s Board of Directors or any committee thereof. Mr. Miller is also entitled to receive the employee benefits made available to Bank employees, generally; to the use of a vehicle provided by the Bank; and for reimbursement of country club dues.

The agreement with Mr. Miller provides that if his employment is terminated by the Corporation or the Bank due to death, disability or “for cause,” then he is entitled to the full annual salary and any accrued benefits through the date of termination. “For cause” termination includes termination for willful failure to perform his duties; engaging in misconduct injurious to the Corporation or to the Bank; violation of certain terms of the agreement; dishonesty or gross negligence in the performance of his duties; violation of banking laws and regulations; failure to win election or to serve on the Board of Directors of the Corporation; or moral turpitude which brings public discredit to the Corporation or to the Bank.

If Mr. Miller’s employment is terminated by the Corporation or the Bank other than as a result of death, disability or “for cause,” then he is entitled to a lump sum payment equal to his full annual salary from the date of termination through the last day of the term of the agreement or to an amount equal to his current annual salary, whichever is greater, and to a continuation of employee benefits for one (1) year.

If Mr. Miller terminates his employment for “good reason,” then he is entitled to an amount equal to his direct annual salary and to a continuation of employee benefits for one (1) year. “Good reason” includes reduction in title or responsibilities; geographic reassignment; removal from office; reduction in salary or benefits; failure to extend the term of the agreement; or any other material breach of the agreement by the Corporation or the Bank.

If Mr. Miller’s employment is terminated by the Corporation or the Bank other than “for cause” or if Mr. Miller terminates his employment for good reason within two (2) years following a change in control of the Corporation or the Bank, he is entitled to receive a lump sum payment equal to three (3) times the sum of his then current direct annual salary and the highest bonus paid to him with respect to one of the last three years of employment, and he will continue to receive all benefits to which he was previously entitled for a period of three (3) years. Change of control is defined to include a more than fifty percent (50%) change in ownership of the Corporation or the Bank, a change in effective control of the Corporation or the Bank or a change in ownership of a substantial portion of the Corporation’s or the Bank’s assets. Change of control is determined consistently under all of the Corporation’s and the Bank’s compensation plans and employment agreements.

In the event the amounts and benefits payable under the agreement resulting from a change of control, when added to all other benefits and amounts which may become payable to Mr. Miller by the Corporation and/or the Bank in such a circumstance, are such that they become subject to Section 280G of the Internal Revenue Code and, therefore, to the excise tax provisions of Section 4999 of the Internal Revenue Code, then Mr. Miller is to be paid the additional amount necessary to reimburse him for the economic detriment of the excise tax. If the amounts and benefits paid under the agreement are subject to Section 280G, they are not deductible by the Corporation.

Change of Control Agreements

The named executive officers and other employees of the Bank have built the Corporation into the successful enterprise that it is today, and the Compensation Committee believes that it is important to protect them in the event of a change of control. Further, it is the Committee’s belief that the shareholders will be best served if the interests of management are aligned with the interests of the shareholders. Providing change of control benefits should eliminate, or at least reduce, the reluctance of management to pursue potential change of control transactions that may be in the best interests of the Corporation. Relative to the overall value of the Corporation, these potential

Table of Contents

change of control benefits are relatively minor. The level of change of control benefits are based on industry practices and negotiations with the affected named executive officers and other executive officers.

Change of control benefits for Mr. Miller are described above in the section describing his employment agreement. The only other named executive officer with an agreement providing for change in control benefits is Mr. Riggs, which are described below.

Benjamin F. Riggs, Jr., General Counsel and Secretary. On March 11, 2014, the Corporation entered into a Change of Control Agreement with Mr. Riggs. Under the agreement, Mr. Riggs is entitled to receive certain cash compensation and employee benefits in the event that his employment is terminated by the Corporation or Bank (or an acquirer or successor thereof) without “good cause,” or, in certain specified circumstances, by Mr. Riggs, in each case within two (2) years after the occurrence of a “change of control.”

More specifically, the agreement provides that upon a termination pursuant to a “change of control,” Mr. Riggs is entitled to be paid cash compensation in an amount equal to one (1) times the sum of his highest annual base salary during one of the three immediately preceding calendar years, plus his highest cash bonus earned during the same time period. Payment of this cash compensation is to be made in a single lump sum within ten (10) days after the termination of employment. In addition, he would be entitled to continue participation in the Bank’s employee benefit plans for a period of one (1) year; provided that if participation in any health, medical, life insurance or disability plan is barred, the Bank will be required to pay for an individual plan with substantially equivalent coverage.

As used in the agreement, a “change of control” means:

A change in ownership of the Corporation or the Bank such that any person or group of persons acquires stock that causes such person or group to own more than 50 percent of the total fair market value or total voting power of the stock of the Corporation or the Bank;

A change in the effective control of the Corporation or the Bank such that any person or group of persons acquires, during any 12-month period, the ownership of stock of the Corporation or Bank possessing 35 percent or more of the total voting power of the stock of the Corporation or the Bank, or a majority of the Corporation’s board of directors is replaced during any 12-month period by directors whose appointment or election is not endorsed by a majority of the members of the Corporation’s board of directors prior to the date of the appointment or election; or

A change in the ownership of a substantial portion of the assets of the Corporation or the Bank during any 12-month period such that any person or group of persons acquires assets from the Corporation or the bank that have a total gross fair market value equal to or more than 40 percent of the total gross fair market value of all of the assets of the Corporation or the Bank immediately prior to such acquisitions.

“Good cause” is defined in the agreement to mean: the willful failure to substantially perform his duties as an officer of the Corporation or Bank following receipt of written notice of such failure; the willful engaging in misconduct injurious to the Corporation or Bank; dishonesty or gross negligence in the performance of his duties; breach of a fiduciary duty involving personal profit; the violation of any law, rule or regulation governing banks or bank officers or any final cease and desist order issued by a bank regulatory authority, any of which materially jeopardizes the business of the Corporation or Bank; or moral turpitude or other conduct which brings public discredit to the Corporation or Bank.

Should Mr. Riggs terminate his employment for any of the following reasons following a change of control of the Corporation or the Bank, he will be entitled to receive the benefits payable under the agreement: reduction in title or responsibilities or authority which are inconsistent with, or assignment of duties inconsistent with, Executive’s status as General Counsel and Secretary; removal from office other than for “good cause”; reassignment to a principal place of employment which is more than twenty-five (25) miles from his principal place of employment immediately preceding the termination of employment; reduction in annual base salary; failure to provide Mr. Riggs with benefits as favorable as those enjoyed by him prior to the termination of employment; requirement that Mr. Riggs travel in the performance of his duties for a significantly greater period of time than was

required of him during the year preceding the change in control; or any material breach of the agreement by the Corporation or Bank.

The agreement also provides that the Corporation shall bear any expenses related to a determination of the amount of any excess parachute payment under Section 280G of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), or excise tax under Section 4999 of the Code of 1986, including the expenses of the Corporation’s independent certified accountant and tax counsel.

Potential Payments upon Termination or Change in Control

The tables below show the value of estimated payments pursuant to the employment and change in control agreements, stock incentive plans and other non-qualified plans described above upon a termination of employment, including gross-up payments for any excise tax on the parachute payments upon a change of control, for each of Messrs. Miller and Riggs (our only named executive officers with agreements providing for such payments). The payments represent the maximum possible payments under interpretations and assumptions most favorable to the executive officer. All termination events are assumed to occur on December 31, 2015, and termination upon a change of control is assumed to be involuntary. Corporation payments to a terminated executive may be more or less than the amounts contained in the various agreements and plans. In addition, certain amounts currently are vested and, thus, do not represent an increased amount of benefits.

Larry J. Miller

Assuming one of the following events had occurred on December 31, 2015, Mr. Miller’s payments and benefits had an estimated value as follows:

Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation

Throughout 2015, the members of the Compensation Committee were D. Reed Anderson, Esq. (Chair), Cynthia A. Dotzel, Jeffrey R. Hines, P.E. Dallas L. Smith and MacGregor S. Jones. Relationships that members of the Compensation Committee have had and/or maintain with the Corporation are described in the “Related Person Transactions and Policies” section of this Proxy Statement.

Additionally, Larry J. Miller, Chief Executive Officer of the Corporation, is also Chairman of the Board of Directors. Mr. Miller makes recommendations to the Compensation Committee regarding compensation for employees. Mr. Miller does not participate in conducting his own review.

Director Compensation

The Corporation uses a combination of cash and stock-based compensation to attract and retain qualified candidates to serve on the Board. In setting director compensation, the Corporation considers the significant time commitment required of directors in fulfilling their duties to the Corporation.

Cash Compensation Paid to Board Members

In 2015, the Bank’s non-employee directors were compensated for their services rendered as follows:

a monthly retainer of $1,500;

directors’ fees of $850 for each regular or special meeting attended;

committee meeting fees paid at the rate of $350 per hour; and

monthly retainer paid to committee chairs of $250 (Wealth Management Committee) and $500 (Audit Committee).

The Bank’s non-employee Chairman of the Board (Mr. Krebs, until his retirement in August 2015) and Lead Director received a monthly retainer of $2,000 in 2015. In addition, each non-employee director recognized imputed income for insurance premiums paid on behalf of the non-employee Bank directors, which totaled $3,506 in 2015. The Bank provides a directors’ life insurance program for non-employee directors. This program is designed to provide a death benefit to the director’s beneficiary in the amount of $100,000. Under this program, the Bank is the direct beneficiary of death benefits equal to the greater of: (1) the cash surrender value of the policy; (2) the aggregate premiums paid on the policy by the Bank less any outstanding indebtedness to the insurer; or (3) the amount in excess of $100,000. Beginning on February 9, 2016, the life insurance premium was increased to $200,000. In the aggregate, the Bank paid $256,340 in cash compensation to the directors in 2015.

Independent Directors’ Deferred Compensation Plan

The Corporation maintains a deferred compensation plan for independent directors. Participants may elect to defer receipt of compensation in order to gain certain tax benefits under Internal Revenue Code Section 451. This plan is not funded by the Corporation.

2007 Long-Term Incentive Plan

The Corporation maintains a 2007 Long-Term Incentive Plan (“2007 Plan”), which was approved by the Corporation’s shareholders. The purposes of the 2007 Plan are to advance the long-term success of the Corporation and to increase shareholder value by providing the incentive of long-term stock-based rewards to officers, directors and key Bank employees as determined by the Compensation Committee.

The 2007 Plan provides for awards of incentive stock options, non-statutory stock options, restricted stock awards, stock appreciation rights, and stock awards. The Compensation Committee administers the 2007 Plan.

Table of Contents

Persons eligible to receive awards under the 2007 Plan are those officers, directors and key Bank employees as determined by the Compensation Committee.

In 2015, the Corporation granted 19,110 non-qualified stock options to non-employee directors under the 2007 Plan.

RELATED PERSON TRANSACTIONS AND POLICIES

Some of the Corporation and Bank’s directors and executive officers and the companies with which they are associated were customers of and had banking transactions with the Bank during 2015. All loans and loan commitments made to them and their immediate family members and to their companies were made in the ordinary course of business, on substantially the same terms, including interest rates, collateral and repayment terms, as those prevailing at the time for comparable transactions with other customers of the Bank, and did not involve more than a normal risk of collectability or present other unfavorable features. The principal loan balance outstanding for these persons on December 31, 2015, was approximately $129,499, which did not include unfunded commitments of approximately $91,687. The Bank anticipates that it will enter into similar transactions in the future.

The Bank’s Board of Directors is responsible for ensuring compliance with Federal Reserve Board Regulation O, including its lending, record-keeping and reporting requirements and, to that end, has adopted and maintains a written Regulation O compliance policy. The Bank’s Chief Risk Officer is the executive officer responsible for administration of the Regulation O compliance policy. The Chief Risk Officer maintains a list of insiders (directors, executive officers, principal shareholders and their related interests) who are subject to the Regulation O compliance policy. Each year, a Regulation O questionnaire is circulated to all directors and executive officers in order to update related party information and to assist in the identification of potential related party transactions. Any direct or indirect extension of credit to an insider, including related interests, must be approved by the Bank’s Board of Directors. Approval is only granted if the transaction will be made on substantially the same terms, including interest rates, collateral and repayment terms, as those prevailing at that time for comparable transactions with other persons, and if the transaction does not involve more than the normal risk of collection and does not present any other unfavorable features.

Table of Contents

In addition to its Regulation O compliance policy, the Bank’s Code of Ethics and Conflicts of Interest Policies address, among other things, related party transactions and potential conflicts of interest. Both policies apply to all directors, officers and employees as well as their immediate family members and related business entities, trusts or estates.

To identify related persons and entities, the Bank requires directors and executive officers to complete a Directors’ and Officers’ Questionnaire annually. This information is utilized to identify real or potential transactions in which conflicts of interest covered by the above-referenced policies and guidelines may arise.

Proposed transactions with such persons or entities are reviewed and voted on by the Board of Directors of the Corporation or the Bank, as applicable. Interested parties do not participate in such review and vote.

SECTION 16(a) BENEFICIAL OWNERSHIP REPORTING COMPLIANCE

Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 requires the Corporation’s directors, executive officers and shareholders who beneficially own more than 10% of the Corporation’s outstanding common stock to file initial reports of ownership and reports of changes in ownership of common stock and other equity securities of the Corporation with the Securities and Exchange Commission, and deliver a copy of such reports to the Corporation. Based on a review of copies of the reports we received, and on the statements of the reporting persons, we believe that all Section 16(a) filing requirements were complied with in a timely fashion during 2015, except that Mr. Utz made a late filing on September 28, 2015 related to designating him as a reporting person, and Mr. Brunner made a late filing on January 13, 2016 related to his purchase of shares in the Corporation’s public offering of common stock. Both late filings were due to administrative oversights.

PROPOSAL 2 –ADVISORY VOTE REGARDING EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

Pursuant to section 14A of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, we are again providing our shareholders the opportunity to vote on an advisory, non-binding resolution to approve the compensation paid to our named executive officers, as described in this Proxy Statement. This advisory vote, commonly referred to as a “say-on-pay” vote, gives our shareholders the opportunity to endorse, or not endorse, the compensation of our named executive officers on an annual basis. Shareholders are encouraged to carefully review the “Executive Compensation” section of this Proxy Statement for a detailed discussion of our executive compensation programs.

We believe that our executive compensation policies and programs, which are reviewed and approved by our Compensation Committee, are designed to align our named executive officers’ compensation with our short-term and long-term performance and to provide the compensation and incentives that are necessary to attract, motivate and retain key executives who are important to our continued success. The Compensation Committee regularly reviews all elements of our executive compensation program and takes any actions it deems necessary to continue to fulfill the objectives of our compensation programs. These programs have been designed to promote a performance-based culture which aligns the interests of our executive officers and other managers with the interests of our shareholders.

The Corporation’s shareholders approved the compensation payable to our named executive officers at the 2015 Annual Meeting of Shareholders by a majority of the votes cast, and we note that the Corporation has not made any material changes to its compensation programs or philosophies in the past year.

For the reasons discussed above, our shareholders are asked to again provide their support with respect to the compensation of the Corporation’s named executive officers by voting in favor of the following non-binding resolution:

“Resolved, that the shareholders of Codorus Valley Bancorp, Inc. approve the compensation of the Corporation’s Named Executive Officers, as disclosed in this Proxy Statement pursuant to the compensation disclosure rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission.”

Table of Contents

Because this shareholder vote is advisory, it will not be binding on our Board of Directors. However, the Compensation Committee will take into account the outcome of the vote when considering future executive compensation arrangements.

Vote Required for Approval

The approval of the non-binding advisory proposal on our executive compensation requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the shares of common stock present at the meeting, in person or by proxy. Abstentions and broker non-votes that are counted only for purposes of determining a quorum will have the effect of a vote against this proposal.

Recommendation of the Board of Directors

The Board of Directors recommends a vote FOR the advisory, non-binding resolution approving the compensation paid to the Corporation’s named executive officers.

PROPOSAL 3 – APPROVAL AND ADOPTION OF AMENDMENT TO ARTICLES OF INCORPORATION

Our Board of Directors has unanimously approved and considers it to be advisable and in the best interests of the Corporation and our shareholders to amend our Articles of Incorporation to limit the circumstances under which a supermajority vote of the shareholders is required to those fundamental transactions which are not approved in advance by a supermajority of the Corporation’s Directors.

In its current form, Article 7 of the Articles of Incorporation currently requires that any merger, consolidation, liquidation or dissolution of the Corporation, or the sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Corporation, receive the affirmative vote of at least 75% of the outstanding shares of common stock of the Corporation. The Board of Directors has determined that the current minimum vote requirement is unduly burdensome, particularly with respect to transactions in which the Corporation is either the surviving entity or which were approved in advance by the Board of Directors. As proposed, the amended Article 7 will continue to protect the existing rights of shareholders to approve, by the current supermajority vote of 75% of outstanding shares, certain mergers and other financial transactions that are not endorsed by a supermajority (80%) of the Corporation’s Directors, while granting the Corporation greater flexibility to pursue strategic opportunities in a more cost-effective manner. To the extent Pennsylvania law requires shareholder approval of a transaction previously approved by a supermajority of the Directors, such transaction will require the approval of only a majority of votes cast at the meeting.

Form of Proposed Amendment

The Board of Directors proposes and recommends that Article 7 of the Corporation’s Articles of Incorporation be amended and restated to read in its entirety as follows:

7. No merger, consolidation, liquidation or dissolution of this corporation nor any action that would result in the sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of this corporation shall be valid unless first approved by the affirmative vote of the holders of at least seventy-five percent (75%) of the outstanding shares of Common Stock of this corporation; provided, however, that with respect to any transaction described in this Article 7 that is approved in advance by at least 80% of the members of the Board of Directors, such transaction shall require only such shareholder approval, if any, as may be required pursuant to the Pennsylvania Business Corporation Law as in effect from time to time. This Article 7 may not be amended unless first approved by the affirmative vote of the holders of at least seventy-five percent (75%) of the outstanding shares of Common Stock of this corporation.

If approved by the shareholders, the amendment would be effective upon the filing of an amendment to the Corporation’s Articles of Incorporation with the Secretary of State of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, anticipated to occur promptly after the annual meeting.

Table of Contents

Vote Required for Approval

The amendment to Article 7 of the Articles of Incorporation requires the affirmative vote of the holders of at least 75% of the outstanding shares of the Corporation’s common stock. Abstentions and broker non-votes will have the effect of a vote against the proposed amendment.

Recommendation of the Board of Directors

For the foregoing reasons, the Board of Directors believes that the approval and adoption of the proposed amendment is in the best interests of the Corporation and its shareholders and recommends a vote FOR the proposal.

PROPOSAL 4 - RATIFICATION OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

The Corporation’s Audit Committee has selected the firm of BDO USA, LLP (“BDO”) as our independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2016. Although shareholder approval of the selection of BDO is not required by law, the Board of Directors believes that it is advisable to give shareholders an opportunity to ratify this selection as is the common practice with other publicly traded companies.

Vote Required for Approval

Assuming the presence of a quorum at the Annual Meeting, the affirmative vote of the majority of the shares present at the meeting, in person or by proxy, is required to ratify the appointment of BDO as the Corporation’s independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2016. If our shareholders at the 2016 Annual Meeting do not approve this proposal, the Audit Committee may reconsider its selection of BDO, but no determination has been made as to what action the Audit Committee would take if shareholders do not ratify the appointment of BDO.

Recommendation of the Board of Directors

The Board of Directors recommends that shareholders vote FOR ratification of the appointment of BDO USA, LLP as the Corporation’s independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2016.

REPORT OF THE AUDIT COMMITTEE

The Audit Committee met with management periodically during the year to consider the adequacy of the Corporation’s internal controls and the objectivity of its financial reporting. The Audit Committee discussed these matters with the Corporation’s independent registered public accounting firm.

The Audit Committee met privately at its regular meetings with both the independent registered public accounting firm and the internal auditors, each of whom has unrestricted access to the Audit Committee.

The Audit Committee appointed, and the Board approved, BDO as the independent registered public accounting firm for the Corporation after reviewing the firm’s performance with management and independence.

Management has primary responsibility for the Corporation’s consolidated financial statements and the overall reporting process, including the Corporation’s system of internal controls. The independent registered public accounting firm audited the annual consolidated financial statements prepared by management, expressed an opinion as to whether those consolidated financial statements fairly present the financial position, results of operations and cash flows of the Corporation in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America and discussed with the Audit Committee any issues they believe should be raised with the Audit Committee.

Table of Contents

The Audit Committee reviewed with management and BDO, the Corporation’s independent registered public accounting firm, the Corporation’s audited consolidated financial statements and met separately with both management and BDO to discuss and review those consolidated financial statements and reports prior to issuance. Management has represented, and BDO has confirmed to the Audit Committee, that the consolidated financial statements were prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America.

The Audit Committee received from and discussed with BDO the written disclosure and the letter required by PCAOB Rule 3526 Communication With Audit Committees Concerning Independence. These items relate to that firm’s independence from the Corporation. The Audit Committee also discussed with BDO matters required to be discussed by Auditing Standard No. 16 Communication with Audit Committees. The Audit Committee monitored certified public accounting firm independence and reviewed audit and non-audit services performed by BDO.

Based on the reviews and discussions referred to above, the Committee recommended to the Board of Directors and the Board has approved that the audited consolidated financial statements be included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K as of and for the year ended December 31, 2015, for filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
