PacWest Bancorp Announces the Completion of Its Acquisition of First California Financial Group (5/31/13)

-- Acquisition adds 6 branches after consolidation and approximately $1.7 billion in assets --

-- Two First California Financial Group Directors Join the PacWest Board of Directors –

-- First California Bank merged into Pacific Western Bank –

-- Integration and systems conversion scheduled for June 14, 2013 --

PacWest Bancorp (Nasdaq:PACW) ("PacWest") announced that today it completed its previously announced acquisition of First California Financial Group, Inc. (Nasdaq:FCAL) ("First California"). As part of the acquisition, First California Bank, a wholly-owned subsidiary of First California, merged with and into PacWest's wholly-owned banking subsidiary, Pacific Western Bank ("PWB").

The acquisition, which was first announced on November 6, 2012, was concluded following receipt of shareholder approval from both institutions and all required regulatory approvals. First California had $1.7 billion in assets as of March 31, 2013. As of March 31, 2013, on a pro forma consolidated basis with First California, PacWest would have had approximately $7.0 billion in assets.

In the merger with First California, each share of First California common stock was converted into the right to receive 0.2966 of a share of PacWest common stock. The exchange ratio was calculated based on the volume-weighted average share price of PacWest common stock for the 20 consecutive trading days ending on the second full trading day prior to the receipt of the last of the regulatory approvals required under the merger agreement. PacWest is issuing an aggregate of approximately 8.3 million shares of PacWest common stock to First California stockholders (which include PacWest common shares issuable in exchange for First California's Series A Preferred Stock). Approximately $231,000 in cash is being delivered to holders of outstanding and unexercised First California options. In addition, approximately one million shares of First California common stock currently owned by PacWest have been cancelled in the merger. Based on the closing price of PacWest's common stock on May 31, 2013 of $28.83 per share, the aggregate consideration to be paid to First California common stockholders and holders of options to acquire First California common stock, plus the cost of the First California shares of common stock cancelled in the merger, is approximately $243 million.

Effective May 31, 2013, Mr. Joseph Cohen and Antoinette Hubenette, M.D., former directors of First California, have joined PacWest Bancorp's board of directors.

The integration of First California Bank systems and the conversion of First California Bank's branches to PWB's operating platform are scheduled to be completed over the weekend of June 14, 2013. First California Bank has 15 branches, nine of which overlap with existing Pacific Western Bank branches. Seven of the First California Bank branches will be closed as part of the integration and system conversion on June 14, 2013 and two PWB branches will subsequently be closed in the consolidation on June 21, 2013.The resulting net effect of this branch conversion and closure activity is that PWB will add six branches to its branch system.

First California Bank took over San Luis Trust after it was forced into federal receivership in February. Not only did First California Bank assume all of the deposits and essentially all of the assets of San Luis Trust, but it has now launched itself into the community by sponsoring a major community event.
http://www.slo-business.com/events/first-california-bank-steps-in-to-support-local-community.html
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ What is your opinion of SNLS stock now, and what happens when you put an order to buy shares of SNLS stock?

There will never be a merger between FCAL and SNLS.

FDIC seized the bank owned by SNLS and left your precious SNLS without any meaningful assets.

Why did I drop off? After three months of inactivity, iHub generally removes your ID. Since there has been no information to share (nor will there ever be), no need wasting my time.

Hey COUSIN, lol

Technically, FCAL is upgraded to a buy with the 9.02 target price in six months.

Check here:
'http://www.stoxline.com/quote.php?symbol=fcal'

bacc, you asked about the unfinished business with the PSBK acquisition. They said back in July it would be late 3rd qtr or early 4th quarter...so we're finally here. They may have to amend the share exchange rate considering FCAL's new share price but as far as we know its still all good for PSBK holders... and I'm thinking we'll hear real soon now that that deal is finally done.

They said this in the July amendment:

First California Financial Group, Inc. (Nasdaq:FCAL), or FCAL, the holding company of First California Bank, or FCB, and Premier Service Bank (OTCBB:PSBK), or PSBK, today announced the signing on July 9, 2012 of Amendment No. 1 (the “Amendment”) to their definitive agreement dated February 27, 2012 (the “Merger Agreement”), pursuant to which PSBK will merge into FCB. The transaction is now expected to close late in the third quarter or early in the fourth quarter of 2012, subject to regulatory and shareholder approvals and other customary closing conditions.

And this link is from last February when FCALs' share price was approx. $4 something.

http://investorshub.advfn.com/boards/read_msg.aspx?message_id=72642420

The exchange rate will change but dollar for dollar its all good unless we hear differently..and I can't imagine that.

As I said earlier LM I think FCAL has been driving a harder bargain ever since the initial announcement.. and I think they would have done that regardless of the heavy insider pressure.. but either way..they got it done and it worked.

Remember the letter from last July -

http://investorshub.advfn.com/boards/read_msg.aspx?message_id=77944192

http://investorshub.advfn.com/boards/read_msg.aspx?message_id=77918576

PACW didn't wait..I don't think they were in the drivers' seat...FCAL management & shareholders were. It took 2 more solid quarterly results to get what they wanted ;~)

I'll be interested to see how the new make-up of BoD & management will look once they merge. I don't think it [the roll up of other banks] ends here for these 2 companies.. especially if FCALs' people have any say.

Good question, I guess we never really got any color on the talks that had been going on behind the scenes. I'm referring to after the hedge funds had written those letters in favor of a sale.

Happy for you. Wonder why PACW waited six months to raise the bid $.75?

Enough for me to buy him a few beers if he ever stops in Philly, that's for sure.

I think it's really time to pass out the cigars now! Anyone know many EI banks merged this year?

PACW and FCAL Agree to Merger (11/06/12)

-- PacWest to Pay $8.00 per Share for FCAL Common Stock or Approximately $231 Million in Aggregate to FCAL Stockholders

-- Acquisition of First California to Add Nearly $2.0 Billion in Assets to PacWest

-- Two Valuable Franchises Combine to Create the Eighth Largest Publicly-Owned Bank Headquartered in California

LOS ANGELES, CA and WESTLAKE VILLAGE, CA--(Marketwire - Nov 6, 2012) - PacWest Bancorp (NASDAQ: PACW) and First California Financial Group, Inc. (NASDAQ: FCAL) today announced the signing of a definitive agreement and plan of merger whereby PacWest will acquire First California for $8.00 per First California common share, or approximately $231 million in aggregate consideration, payable in PacWest common stock.

First California, headquartered in Westlake Village, California, is the parent of First California Bank and had approximately $2.0 billion in assets and 15 branches across Los Angeles, Orange, Riverside, San Bernardino, San Diego, San Luis Obispo and Ventura Counties at September 30, 2012. In connection with the acquisition, First California Bank will be merged into Pacific Western Bank, the Los Angeles-based wholly-owned subsidiary of PacWest Bancorp.

Directors of PacWest and of First California unanimously approved the transaction. Two independent directors from the board of directors of First California will join PacWest's board of directors upon completion of the acquisition.

The transaction, currently expected to close late in the first quarter of 2013, is subject to customary conditions, including the approval of bank regulatory authorities and the stockholders of both companies. Stockholders of First California, including all current directors and certain other stockholders, owning or controlling approximately 22% in the aggregate of the currently outstanding shares of First California, have agreed to vote in favor of the transaction.

As of September 30, 2012, on a pro forma consolidated basis with First California, PacWest would have had approximately $7.5 billion in assets with 81 branches throughout California. The combined institution would be the eighth largest publicly-owned bank headquartered in California, and the 12th largest commercial bank headquartered in California (out of more than 240 financial institutions).

Pursuant to the terms of the definitive agreement, First California shareholders will receive PacWest common stock for their shares of First California common stock in a tax-free transaction. First California in-the-money option holders will receive cash, net of applicable taxes withheld, for the value of their unexercised stock options.

The number of shares of PacWest common stock deliverable for each share of First California common stock will be determined based on an average price of PacWest common stock over a measuring period prior to the receipt of regulatory approval, and will fluctuate if such average price is between $20.00 and $27.00 and will be fixed if such average price is below $20.00 or above $27.00. Based on PacWest's closing stock price of $22.27 on Monday, November 5, 2012, First California stockholders would have received 0.3592 of a share of PacWest common stock for each share of First California common stock, which would provide First California stockholders with aggregate ownership, on a pro forma basis, of approximately 22.4% of the common stock of the combined company.

The holders of 100% of the outstanding shares of First California Series A preferred stock have agreed to convert their shares into common stock, per the terms of the series of preferred stock, and have the resulting common stock exchanged in the transaction. PacWest and First California expect to redeem First California's outstanding Series C preferred stock for cash in accordance with its terms immediately prior to the closing of the transaction.

Matt Wagner, Chief Executive Officer of PacWest Bancorp and Chairman and CEO of Pacific Western Bank, commented, "We are very pleased to have reached this agreement with First California. The merger of these two organizations will create a valuable franchise for the stockholders of both companies, and meaningfully enhance the presence of the combined organization throughout California."

C. G. Kum, First California's President and Chief Executive Officer, said, "First California is proud of what it has built since its inception in 1979. As a result of this transaction, two premier organizations will come together to create one of the leading commercial banks headquartered in Los Angeles, with more than $7.5 billion in assets. The combined bank will continue to offer the same dedication and high quality service both institutions are known for, while providing customers with an even greater array of products and higher lending limits. We also believe this transaction provides opportunity for future shareholder value."

Keefe, Bruyette & Woods, Inc. acted as financial advisor to First California in the transaction and delivered a fairness opinion to the Board of Directors of First California. Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom, LLP served as legal counsel to First California. Castle Creek Financial acted as financial advisor to PacWest, and Sandler O'Neill + Partners, L.P. delivered a fairness opinion to the Board of PacWest. Wachtell, Lipton, Rosen & Katz served as legal counsel to PacWest.

Financial Results
For the 2012 third quarter, net interest income before the provision for loan losses increased 9 percent to $17.0 million from $15.6 million for the 2011 third quarter. The increase reflects a 13 percent increase in average earning assets and a 3 percent decrease in net interest margin. Interest income (discount accretion) on covered loans for the 2012 third quarter was $4.5 million. 2011 third quarter interest income (discount accretion) on covered loans was $3.8 million. Net interest margin, on a taxable equivalent basis, declined to 3.91 percent from 4.05 percent for the 2011 third quarter.

Service charges, fees and other income increased to $2.3 million from $2.1 million for the 2011 third quarter, primarily reflecting continued growth in business volumes and fees generated from the EPS division. Revenues from the EPS division increased to $1.2 million for the 2012 third quarter from $800,000 for the same quarter last year.

Third quarter 2012 non-interest income included a $510,000 net gain on the sale of securities, offset by a $449,000 impairment loss on securities, a $99,000 loss on non-hedged derivatives and $135,000 decrease in FDIC shared-loss asset. For the 2011 third quarter, non-interest income included a $209,000 net gain on the sale of securities.

Operating expenses for the 2012 third quarter were $13.0 million, compared with $12.1 million for the 2011 third quarter. Operating expenses exclude intangible amortization, integration/conversion expenses and foreclosed property gains, losses and expenses. The increase reflects higher professional services expenses, which included approximately $0.9 million of costs related to shareholder matters, and higher deposit insurance assessments due to the 40 percent increase in non-interest checking deposits. The efficiency ratio was 68.37 percent for the 2012 third quarter, compared with 68.22 percent for the same period last year.

Core earnings, which represent income before taxes and exclude credit charges and non-recurring items such as gain on acquisitions, integration/conversion expense and securities transactions, were $5.5 million for the third quarter of 2012, compared with $5.0 million for the same period a year ago, an increase of 10 percent.

Non-covered loans, before the allowance for loan losses, grew 14 percent to $1.1 billion at September 30, 2012 from $936.1 million at December 31, 2011. Commercial mortgage loans led the increase, up $60 million or 15 percent from the end of the year. Aided by purchases earlier in the year, home mortgage loans increased 44 percent, while multifamily mortgage loans increased 15 percent through originations and purchases.

At September 30, 2012, covered loans decreased to $106.1 million from $135.4 million at December 31, 2011. The Bank's covered non-performing assets declined by $18.7 million, or 55 percent, during the same period.

Non-interest checking deposits increased 40 percent from year-end 2011, primarily from growth in EPS deposits, and now represent 42 percent of total deposits. The cost of all deposits, aided by the change in the mix of deposits, fell 37 percent to 32 basis points for the 2012 third quarter from 51 basis points for the same period last year. Core deposits now comprise 83 percent of all deposits.

Kum added, "The banking industry continues to be impacted by a low interest rate environment. Despite this, we have proactively managed our cost of liabilities and our margin has held up better than most of our peers as evidenced by the slight decline in our net interest margin of only 14 basis points over the last 12 months."

Asset Quality
At September 30, 2012, non-covered non-performing assets (the sum of non-covered loans past due 90 days and accruing, nonaccrual loans and foreclosed properties) improved to 1.54 percent of total assets, compared with 1.89 percent at December 31, 2011. At September 30, 2012, nonaccrual loans increased $1.5 million from year-end 2011 while foreclosure properties declined $5.1 million for the same period.

The allowance for loan losses was $18.2 million, or 1.71 percent of non-covered loans, at September 30, 2012, compared with $17.7 million, or 1.90 percent of non-covered loans, at December 31, 2011. Net loan charge-offs for the 2012 third quarter were $605,000, down from $2.1 million for the 2011 third quarter. The provision for non-covered loan losses was $500,000 for the 2012 third quarter compared with $1.6 million for the 2011 third quarter.

Capital resources
Shareholders' equity rose to $236.6 million at September 30, 2012 from $223.1 million at December 31, 2011. The Company's book value per common share increased to $7.21 at September 30, 2012 from $6.75 at December 31, 2011. Tangible book value per common share rose to $4.71 at September 30, 2012 from $4.19 at December 31, 2011.

At September 30, 2012, First California's preliminary Tier 1 leverage capital ratio was 10.00 percent versus 10.33 percent at the 2011 calendar year end, and the total risk-based capital ratio decreased to 17.18 percent from 17.32 percent at December 31, 2011. The Company's ratio of tangible common equity to tangible assets was 7.18 percent at September 30, 2012, up from 7.05 percent at the end of 2011. Total assets were $1.99 billion at September 30, 2012, compared with $1.81 billion at December 31, 2011.

Kum concluded, "We remain focused on improving our performance, while keeping an eye on expenses and providing the highest quality service to our loyal customers. More than ever, we appreciate the hard work and dedication of our employees who help make First California the business bank of choice in our markets."

Not only was the SNLS bank building leased by FCAL but Brad Lyon is evidently under the impression SNLS shares are worthless. I'm sure you know who he is.

San Luis Trust Bank of California Fails And Sold To Bank With Unpaid TARP Loan

San Luis Trust Bank, FSB, San Luis Obispo, California, was closed today by the Office of Thrift Supervision which appointed the FDIC as receiver. The FDIC sold the failed bank to First California Bank, Westlake Village, California. First California will assume all deposits of the failed bank.

San Luis Trust was beset by a high level of defaults from risky land development and construction loans made at the peak of the real estate bubble. The Bank was issued a Cease and Desist Order by the OTS on November 2, 2009 and ordered to raise additional capital.

In response to the order to raise additional capital, the president of San Luis, Brad Lyon, indicated that he foresaw no problem raising additional capital stating “None of it is fun, but for us, it is certainly doable”. Shareholders of San Luis who took Mr. Lyon for his word may now wish that they had sold when the Cease and Desist order was issued. The Bank was not able to raise additional capital and the Bank’s shares are now worthless, closing Friday at 13 cents.

But a number was given with the word being SOLD in my opinion of speculations, and that NUMBER was specific in the EXACT AMOUNT of 2.56 MIllion DOLLARS in my opinion of speculations, so that might rule out that the SOLD statement was a mistake maybe???? WHo knows??? WELL ENTERPRISE, your 2016 link proves one thing in my opinion of speculations, it makes my CACHED LINK REALLY SUSPICIOUS in my opinion and ODD under the circumstances in my opinion because both would be saying the OPPOSITE of each other would they not????

Opinion? No. Facts. Yes!

Most banks are part of a Bank Holding Company.

A BHC controls one or more banks, but does not necessarily engage in banking itself. When the FDIC shows up (usually on a Friday), it takes control of the banks. It then sells them to the highest bidder in an effort to minimize the loss to the insurance fund. The buyer may only purchase deposits or all banking assets. It is not buying the BHC.

BHCs normally file for bankruptcy quickly since the major source of revenue source is gone and few assets remain to pay off liabilities. However, this is not always the case (see UWBKQ).

SNLS would represent the BHC. The bank branches have been owned by FCAL for some time now.

IF YOU CALLED THE BANK BRANCH TO RESEARCH

~~~ Than you would talk to DOUG at the SLO BANK BRANCH AT 1001 address!!!!!
HE CAN"T SAY SQUAT as you can imagine, but.........

~~~~~~~~ IF DOUG worked at SNLS stock location, but now it's FCAL location, HOW COME DOUG CHOSE TO HOLD ON TO HIS SHARES INSTEAD OF USE THEM FOR A TAX LOSS????????? WOW!!!!! IS THAT A WELL THOUGHT OUT QUESTION OR WHAT?????? WHY IS DOUG HOLDING SHARES????
