**DEREGISTRATION OF SECURITIES**

This Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 (the "Post-Effective Amendment") relates to the Registration Statement on Form S-8 (Registration No. 333-220766), originally filed by Central Valley Community Bancorp ("Central Valley") on October 2, 2017 (the "Registration Statement") registering 382,346 shares of common stock of Central Valley to be issued in connection with options granted under the Folsom Lake Bank 2007 Equity Incentive Plan.

Those stock options were converted, on a share-for-share basis, into options to purchase shares of Central Valley's common stock pursuant to that certain Agreement and Plan of Reorganization by and among Central Valley, Folsom Lake Bank, a California state-chartered bank, and Central Valley Community Bank, a California state-chartered bank and wholly-owned subsidiary of Central Valley, dated as of April 27, 2017.

On April 1, 2024 (the "Effective Time"), Central Valley completed its merger transaction with Community West Bancshares ("Community West"), in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Agreement and Plan of Reorganization and Merger, dated as of October 10, 2023, by and between Central Valley and Community West (the "Merger Agreement"). At the Effective Time, Community West merged with and into the Central Valley, with Central Valley being the surviving entity and Central Valley's name changed to Community West Bancshares.

This Post-Effective Amendment is being filed solely to deregister any and all securities previously registered under the Registration Statement that remain unsold as of the date of this Post-Effective Amendment.
