The relocation into a new facility allows the Bank to consolidate approximately 145 employees into one location, which is next to Interstate 81, a major transportation artery within the Bank&#x2019;s footprint in Southcentral Pennsylvania, and provides capacity and infrastructure to support the Bank&#x2019;s growth for many years. Currently, it is expected that the anticipated 1031 exchange transaction will be at a net cost of approximately $3.5 million to the Bank with renovations expected to cost an additional $5.5 million. A copy of the press release announcing the proposed transaction is attached to this Form 8-K as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.</font>
