Explanatory Note
 
This Amendment No. 2 to Schedule TO amends and supplements Schedule TO filed on October 16, 2007 and Schedule TO-I/A filed on October 26, 2007 by Community Banks, Inc.  The purpose of Amendment No. 1 was to delete the disclosures in Exhibit (a)(1), Notice Letter dated October 16, 2007 and Exhibit (a)(2), Additional Information Regarding the Cash Election Right that the “cash election right is subject to the completion of the merger” with Susquehanna Bancshares, Inc.   Deletion of this condition was communicated to holders of Community stock options in a Notice to Option Holders dated October 26, 2007 (the “October 26 Notice”).  The October 26 Notice was filed as Exhibit (a)(6) to the Schedule TO-I/A.
 
The October 26 Notice referenced the original cash election materials that had been mailed to option holders and filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on October 16, 2007 and further provided:
 
… as stated in the materials (see page 3 of both the Notice Letter and the Additional Information Regarding the Cash Election Right), Community reserves the right to terminate the cash election right prior to the expiration of the cash election period on November 14, 2007.
 
The purpose of this Amendment No. 2 is to clarify the statement in the October 26 Notice that “Community reserves the right to terminate the cash election right prior to the expiration of the cash election period on November 14, 2007.”    While referencing page 3 of the Notice Letter and the Additional Information Regarding the Cash Election Right which listed the conditions, the October 26 Notice did not state the conditions under which Community had reserved the right to terminate the cash election right prior to the expiration of the cash election period.
 
Page 3 of both the Notice Letter and the Additional Information Regarding the Cash Election Right contained the following disclosure:
 
Community reserves the right to terminate the cash election right prior to the expiration of the cash election period and not accept any cash elections made prior to such termination:
 
·  
if the merger is terminated;
 
·  
if Community or Susquehanna reasonably determines that there is an undue risk that the cash election right could be deemed a tender offer for securities of the same class of securities as Community common stock;
 
·  
if any law or regulation makes the cash election right illegal or otherwise prohibited; or
 
·  
if any judgment, injunction, order or decree enjoins Community from providing the cash election right or accepting cash elections .
 
Thus, as provided in the disclosure in the original cash election materials, Community’s ability to terminate the cash election prior to expiration of the cash election period is not unlimited.  Community may not terminate the cash election right for any reason or no reason; it may terminate the cash election for the reasons stated in the original cash election materials (and reiterated in this Amendment No.2).
