First PacTrust Bancorp, Inc. Announces Quarterly Dividend Increase

CHULA VISTA, CA – May 26, 2011 – First PacTrust Bancorp, Inc. (NASDAQ: FPTB), the holding company for Pacific Trust Bank (the “Bank”), announced today that its Board of Directors has declared a quarterly cash dividend of eleven cents ($0.110) per share on its outstanding common stock. The dividend will be payable on July 1, 2011 to shareholders of record as of June 10, 2011.

Gregory Mitchell, President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company, said “Following completion of a review of our strong capital position and long-term earnings prospects, the Board of Directors elected to increase our cash dividend from $0.105 to $0.110 per share. Based upon the closing price of $15.44 on May 25, 2011, this increased dividend rate results in an annualized dividend yield of 2.85%.”

Mr. Mitchell noted that this will be the first cash dividend that is subject to the Company’s new Dividend Reinvestment Plan, in which all registered shareholders participate unless an “opt-out” form is submitted by the shareholder to the Company’s transfer agent, Registrar and Transfer Company, by June 7, 2011 (three business days prior to the dividend record date). The Company will reinvest DRIP participant cash dividends by purchasing stock from the Company at a 3% discount from the applicable market price.

The Company’s stock is traded on the NASDAQ Global Market under the symbol “FPTB”. First PacTrust Bancorp, Inc. is the parent holding company of Pacific Trust Bank and is headquartered in Chula Vista, California. Pacific Trust Bank currently operates through ten banking offices serving primarily San Diego and Riverside Counties in California.
