That is why we immediately commenced a dialogue with Driver Management Company LLC after it disclosed an investment in AmeriServ via a 13D filing late last year. Moreover, that is why we subsequently invited Driver to participate in AmeriServ&#39;s ongoing Board refreshment process by asking it to provide director candidate biographies, make candidates available for interviews and submit related questionnaires. Given Driver&#8217;s </font><i style="font-family:'Times New Roman','Times','serif';font-size:12pt;font-style:italic;">&#8220;decades of experience advising and engaging with bank management teams and boards of directors&#8221;</i><sup style="font-family:'Times New Roman','Times','serif';font-size:9pt;vertical-align:top;"><a style="vertical-align:super;" href="#footnote-2">1</a></sup><font style="font-family:'Times New Roman','Times','serif';font-size:12pt;"> and your own expertise in </font><i style="font-family:'Times New Roman','Times','serif';font-size:12pt;font-style:italic;">&#8220;corporate governance</i><font style="font-family:'Times New Roman','Times','serif';font-size:12pt;">,</font><i style="font-family:'Times New Roman','Times','serif';font-size:12pt;font-style:italic;">&#8221;</i><sup style="font-family:'Times New Roman','Times','serif';font-size:9pt;vertical-align:top;"><a style="vertical-align:super;" href="#footnote-3">2</a></sup><font style="font-family:'Times New Roman','Times','serif';font-size:12pt;"> we hoped the firm would appreciate that our Board could not blindly agree to an 8.1% shareholder&#8217;s demands to designate 33% of the Company&#8217;s directors and take leadership roles on multiple committees. Our Board owes it to all of AmeriServ&#8217;s shareholders, including the roughly 92% of shareholders unaffiliated with Driver, to carry out normal-course vetting and consider their long-term interests. &#160;</font></p><p style="font-family:'Calibri','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:11pt;line-height:1.19;text-align:justify;text-indent:36pt;margin:0pt;"><font style="font-family:'Times New Roman','Times','serif';font-size:12pt;line-height:1.28;margin-bottom:8pt;visibility:hidden;">&#8203;</font></p><p style="font-family:'Calibri','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:11pt;line-height:1.19;text-align:justify;text-indent:36pt;margin:0pt;"><font style="font-family:'Times New Roman','Times','serif';font-size:12pt;">We now understand that Driver prefers to forego constructive engagement in favor of running a public campaign and nominating director candidates for election at the Company&#8217;s 2023 Annual Meeting of Shareholders (the &#8220;Annual Meeting&#8221;). In addition to assessing Driver&#8217;s recently submitted nomination materials and candidate information, we will continue to carefully consider all of the firm&#8217;s suggestions and views. We will do so while prioritizing the running of our business for the benefit of all of AmeriServ&#8217;s shareholders, customers, employees and communities. </font></p><p style="font-family:'Calibri','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:11pt;line-height:1.19;text-align:justify;text-indent:36pt;margin:0pt;"><font style="font-family:'Times New Roman','Times','serif';font-size:12pt;line-height:1.28;margin-bottom:8pt;visibility:hidden;">&#8203;</font></p><p style="font-family:'Calibri','Helvetica','sans-serif';font-size:11pt;line-height:1.19;text-align:justify;text-indent:36pt;margin:0pt;"><font style="font-family:'Times New Roman','Times','serif';font-size:12pt;">Please note that AmeriServ&#8217;s Board has already been planning to take several steps, including with regard to Board composition and corporate governance, that directly counter Driver&#39;s accusations of entrenchment. It is also notable that AmeriServ&#8217;s strategy has driven post-pandemic stockholders returns of approximately 31%, which Driver has overlooked when attacking the Company.</font><sup style="font-family:'Times New Roman','Times','serif';font-size:9pt;vertical-align:top;"><a style="vertical-align:super;" href="#footnote-4">3</a></sup><font style="font-family:'Times New Roman','Times','serif';font-size:12pt;"> Looking ahead, we do not believe it is in all of our stakeholders&#8217; best interests to address every public and private statement made by Driver.
