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).

information set forth in this statement is true, complete and
