On January 10, 2022, J. Abbott R. Cooper sent a letter to Craig Kauffman, Codorus Valley Bancorp, Inc.'s chief executive officer. In the letter, J. Abbott R. Cooper expressed his view that the Board has repeatedly demonstrated that it is feckless and entirely incapable of putting shareholders' interests before its loyalty to Larry Miller. J. Abbott R. Cooper added that given the value that he views the Company shareholders would receive in a sale, it is hard for him to interpret any commitment by the Board to let shareholders ‘have your shot at running the Company' as anything more than a determination to maintain the status quo, meaning total disregard for shareholder value.

J. Abbott R. Cooper added that he would welcome an opportunity to hear the Board opinions on the matters raised in the letter.
