EXPLANATORY STATEMENT – DEREGISTRATION OF SHARES

Central Valley Community Bancorp (the “Registrant”) is filing this Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 to Form S-4 Registration Statement to deregister certain securities previously registered by the Registrant pursuant to its Registration Statement on Form S-4 (File No. 333-212063), which was originally filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) on June 16, 2016, and declared effective by the Commission on August 3, 2016 (the “Form S-4”). A total of 1,417,191 shares of the Registrant’s common stock, no par value (“Shares”), were registered for issuance in connection with the merger of Sierra Vista Bank into the Registrant’s wholly owned subsidiary, Central Valley Community Bank. That merger was approved by the shareholders of Sierra Vista Bank on September 1, 2016, and the merger was declared effective on October 1, 2016. Former Sierra Vista Bank shareholders were entitled to receive an aggregate of 1,058,851 Shares as merger consideration under the formula for merger consideration adjustment in the merger agreement. All 1,058,851 Shares issuable as merger consideration have been issued pursuant to the Form S-4.

A total of 358,340 Shares were registered for issuance under the Form S-4 in excess of the number of Shares actually issued as merger consideration (the “Excess Shares”). The Registrant is filing this Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 to the Form S-4 in order to deregister the 358,340 Excess Shares.
