In addition, Driver Management stated that J. Abbott R. Cooper is a member of the board of directors of The First of Long Island Corporation (FLIC) and as per Article 2, Section 2.14 (the Interlocks Bylaw) of AmeriServ’s amended and restated bylaws, effective as of April 2, 2020 states: No person shall be eligible for election, re-election, appointment or re-appointment to the Board of Directors if such person is or within the preceding five years has been a director of any other depository institution unless such person is approved by a majority of the Board of Directors. As a disclaimer, Driver Management believes that the Interlocks Bylaw is invalid, as the Interlocks Bylaw establishes a qualification for service on the Board and, at the time of the adoption by the Board of the Interlocks Bylaw, the Bylaws clearly stated that, among other things, the Board shall not make or alter any Bylaw fixing their qualifications, classification or term of office and believes that the Interlocks Bylaw is not in the best interest of shareholders because it improperly allows the Board to refuse those candidates who are (i) most qualified to serve on the Board yet (ii) least likely to embrace a status quo responsible for decades of underperformance.
