Item 5.07   Submission of Matters to a Vote by Security Holders.

At a Special Meeting of Shareholders held on March 25, 2011 (the “Special Meeting”), shareholders of The Wilber Corporation (“Wilber”) voted to adopt and approve the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of October 22, 2010, by and between Community Bank System, Inc. (“CBSI”) and Wilber, which provides for the merger of Wilber with and into CBSI (the “Merger”). The following summary represents the number of shares voted and the corresponding percentage of shares eligible to be voted:

In connection with the Special Meeting, Wilber also solicited proxies with respect to a proposal to adjourn the Special Meeting at a later date or time, if deemed necessary or appropriate, if sufficient votes in favor of the Merger were not obtained at the time of the Special Meeting.  The adjournment proposal was not submitted to the shareholders of Wilber for approval at the Special Meeting because Wilber shareholders approved the Merger, as described above.

A copy of the press release announcing, among other things, the results of the Special Meeting is included as Exhibit 99.1 to this report.
