YORK, Pa., Feb. 19, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Codorus Valley Bancorp, Inc. (Company) (NASDAQ: CVLY), holding company of PeoplesBank, a Codorus Valley Company (PeoplesBank), announced that on February 18, 2016, it completed the redemption of the remaining $12 million of the Company's Senior Non-Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock, Series B (the "Series B Preferred Stock"), that had been issued to the United States Department of the Treasury in August 2011 in connection with the Company's participation in the Small Business Lending Fund ("SBLF") program. The Company funded the $12 million redemption using proceeds raised in its recently completed public offering of common stock. The Company's original SBLF Program participation was $25 million, and $13 million was previously redeemed in May of 2014.
Chairman, President and CEO Larry J. Miller commented, "The SBLF program provided us additional capital, at a reasonable cost, which successfully supported our expanding small business lending efforts at PeoplesBank. However, the SBLF Program costs were going to increase significantly at the end of this month. This past December, we raised $32 million (net) from a common stock offering to both fund this $12 million SBLF redemption and to provide $20 million of new capital to support our ongoing loan growth and future franchise expansion. With our SBLF Program redemption now fully complete, the United States government no longer maintains an ownership stake in our Company."
