| Item 5.02. | Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers. |
On April 14, 2016, Codorus Valley Bancorp, Inc. (the “Corporation”) and PeoplesBank, a Codorus Valley Company (“PeoplesBank”), entered into a First Amendment to Employment Agreement with A. Dwight Utz, Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer of the Corporation and President and Chief Executive Officer of PeoplesBank (the “Amendment”). The Amendment was entered into in connection with Mr. Utz’s previously announced promotion to the position of President and Chief Executive Officer of PeoplesBank, effective March 8, 2016.
The Amendment amends the Employment Agreement to reflect Mr. Utz’s new position at PeoplesBank, his current annual base salary ($375,000 per year) and an increase in his change in control benefit (from two times the sum of his then current annual base salary and the highest bonus amount paid to him in one of the three calendar years preceding the year of termination, to three times the sum of such amounts, plus continued participation in any employee benefit plans and programs for a period of three years from the date of termination, rather than two years).
The foregoing description of the Amendment is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Amendment, which is attached as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated herein by reference.
