ITEM 2.01. | COMPLETION OF ACQUISITION OR DISPOSITION OF ASSETS |
Effective June 1, 2020, Pacific Premier Bancorp, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“PPBI”), completed its acquisition of Opus Bank, a California-chartered commercial bank (“Opus”), pursuant to the terms of an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization, dated as of January 31, 2020 (the “Merger Agreement”), by and among PPBI, Pacific Premier Bank, a California-chartered commercial bank and wholly-owned subsidiary of PPBI (“Pacific Premier”), and Opus. At the effective time of the acquisition (the “Effective Time”), Opus was merged with and into Pacific Premier, with Pacific Premier as the surviving institution (the “Merger”).
Merger Consideration
Opus Common Stock and Opus Preferred Stock. Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, the consideration payable to Opus shareholders consists of whole shares of PPBI common stock, par value $0.01 per share (“PPBI Common Stock”), and cash in lieu of fractional shares of PPBI Common Stock (the “Merger Consideration”). Each holder of Opus common stock, no par value per share (“Opus Common Stock”), has the right to receive 0.9000 of a share of PPBI Common Stock (the “Exchange Ratio”) for each share of Opus Common Stock held immediately prior to the Effective Time of the Merger, with cash to be paid in lieu of fractional shares at a rate of $19.31 per share of PPBI Common Stock. Each holder of Opus Series A non-cumulative, non-voting preferred stock (“Opus Preferred Stock”) has the right to receive that number of shares of PPBI Common Stock equal to the product of (X) the number of shares of Opus Common Stock into which such share of Opus Preferred Stock was convertible into in connection with, and as a result of, the Merger, and (Y) the Exchange Ratio, plus cash to be paid in lieu of fractional shares at the rate described above.
Opus Options. At the Effective Time of the Merger, all outstanding Opus stock options were assumed by PPBI and substituted with awards pursuant to the Pacific Premier Bancorp, Inc. Amended and Restated 2012 Long-Term Incentive Plan, as amended (the “PPBI 2012 LTIP”) with terms substantially similar to the terms and conditions of the outstanding Opus stock options. Upon exercise, holders of such Opus stock options are entitled to receive the Merger Consideration, which would represent the issuance of up to approximately 9,538 additional shares of PPBI Common Stock, plus cash to be paid in lieu of fractional shares at the rate described above. The assumed Opus stock options expire on August 29, 2020.
Opus Warrants. At the Effective Time of the Merger, PPBI assumed warrants to purchase 140,625 shares of Opus Common Stock and warrants to purchase 6,227 shares of Opus Preferred Stock. Upon exercise, holders of such Opus warrants are entitled to receive the Merger Consideration, which would represent the issuance of up to approximately 406,778 additional shares of PPBI Common Stock, plus cash to be paid in lieu of fractional shares at the rate described above. The Opus warrants expire on September 30, 2020.
Opus Restricted Stock and Opus Time-Based Restricted Stock Units. At the Effective Time of the Merger, each outstanding award of restricted shares of Opus Common Stock (“Opus Restricted Stock”) and each outstanding award of time-based restricted stock units (“Opus RSUs”), other than Opus RSUs awarded in 2020 to Opus employees who became Pacific Premier employees, became fully vested (subject to tax withholdings) immediately prior to the Effective Time and were cancelled in exchange for the right to receive a number of shares of PPBI Common Stock equal to the number of shares of Opus Common Stock underlying such vested awards immediately prior to the Effective Time multiplied by the Exchange Ratio, plus cash to be paid in lieu of fractional shares at the rate described above.
At the Effective Time of the Merger, each holder of an Opus RSU awarded in 2020 who became a Pacific Premier employee received a substitute restricted stock unit from PPBI denominated in shares of PPBI Common Stock (“PPBI RSU”), with terms substantially similar to the terms and conditions (including the same vesting terms) that applied to the relevant Opus RSU immediately prior to the Effective Time.
2
Opus Performance-Based Restricted Stock Units. At the Effective Time, each outstanding award of performance-based restricted stock units (“Opus PRSUs”), other than any Opus PRSUs awarded in 2020 to Opus employees who became Pacific Premier employees, became fully vested (subject to tax withholdings) immediately prior to the Effective Time in a number of units in respect of such award as determined in accordance with the applicable award agreement or Opus equity incentive plan and were cancelled in exchange for the right to receive a number of shares of PPBI Common Stock equal to the number of shares of Opus Common Stock underlying such vested awards immediately prior to the Effective Time multiplied by the Exchange Ratio, plus cash to be paid in lieu of fractional shares at the rate described above.
At the Effective Time of the Merger, each holder of an Opus PRSU awarded in 2020 who became a Pacific Premier employee received a substitute PPBI RSU with terms substantially similar to the terms and conditions (including the same service-based vesting terms but excluding performance-based vesting terms) as were applicable to the relevant Opus PRSU immediately prior to the Effective Time.
PPBI will issue approximately 34.4 million shares of PPBI Common Stock valued at $21.62 per share, which was the closing price of PPBI Common Stock on May 29, 2020, the last trading day prior to the consummation of the Merger. The value of the total transaction consideration was approximately $743.9 million.
Assumption of Opus Subordinated Notes
At the Effective Time of the Merger, Pacific Premier assumed Opus’s obligations under its 5.5% fixed-to-floating rate subordinated notes due July 1, 2026, with a carrying value of $133.34 million as of March 30, 2020.
The foregoing description of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the complete text of the Merger Agreement, attached as Exhibit 2.1 to PPBI’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on February 6, 2020, and incorporated herein by reference.

1.3. Procedure for Exercise of Warrant.(a) Cash Exercise. The Holder may exercise this Warrant in whole or in part by delivering to the Bank at any time and from time to time prior to the Expiration Time: (i) a completed and signed Notice of Exercise, as attached hereto as Schedule A (including the Substitute Form W-9, which forms a part thereof, the "Notice of Exercise"); (ii) cash in an amount equal to the product of (x) the Exercise Price (as this may be adjusted pursuant to Section 2 hereof), and (y) the number of Warrant Shares being purchased pursuant to such Notice of Exercise (such product, the "Aggregate Exercise Price"); and (iii) this Warrant to the following address:Opus Bank 1333 South Pacific Coast Highway Redondo Beach, CA 90277 Attention: Corporate SecretaryUpon payment in good collected funds of the Aggregate Exercise Price (rounded up to the nearest dollar) for the Warrant Shares being purchased, the Holder shall be deemed to be the holder of record of such Warrant Shares for all purposes, notwithstanding that the stock transfer books of the Bank may then be closed or that certificates representing such Warrant Shares have not been issued or delivered to the Holder.The Bank shall, as promptly as practicable· after completion of the actions specified in this Section 1.3(a), cause to be executed, and shall deliver to the Holder, a certificate representing the aggregate number of Warrant Shares specified in the Notice of Exercise. Each certificate for shares of Common Stock so delivered shall be in such denomination as may be requested by the Holder and shall be registered in the name of the Holder. If this Warrant shall have been exercised only in part, then the Bank shall, at the time of delivery of said certificate or certificates, also deliver to the Holder a new Warrant evidencing the remaining outstanding unexercised balance of Warrant Shares. The Bank shall pay all expenses, stock transfer taxes and other charges payable in connection with the preparation, execution and delivery of such certificates for shares of Common Stock and new Warrants.(b) Cashless Exercise. The Holder hereof may elect to exercise this Warrant, in whole or in part, and to receive, without the payment by such Holder of any additional cash or other consideration (the "Cashless Exercise"), Warrant Shares equal to the value of this Warrant or any portion hereof by surrendering this Warrant, along with the Notice of Exercise providing such number of Warrant Shares to be surrendered in the Cashless Exercise, to the address provided above in Section 1.3(a). The Bank shall then issue to the Holder such number of validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable Warrant Shares as is computed using the following formula:X= Y*(A-B) A- 2-5196223
where X = the number of shares of Common Stock to be issued to the Holder pursuant to this Section 1.3(b).Y = the number of Warrant Shares to be surrendered according to the Notice of Exercise delivered to the Bank pursuant to this Section 1.3(b).A= the Market Price of one share of Common Stock at the time the Notice of Exercise is made pursuant to this Section 1.3(b).B = the Exercise Price in effect under this Warrant at the time the Notice of Exercise is made pursuant to this Section 1.3(b).The term "Market Price" of a share of Common Stock shall mean the fair market value of a share, which shall be, (i) at any time such security is listed or traded on any securities exchange or quoted in an over-the-counter market, (A) the last reported sale price regular way of the Common Stock on the principal national securities exchange on which the Common Stock is listed or admitted to trading, or, if there have been no sales reported on any day, the average of the highest bid and lowest asked prices on such exchange, or (B) if on any day such security is not so listed and is instead quoted in the over-the-counter market, the average of the highest bid and lowest asked prices on such day in the domestic over-the-counter market as reported by the National Quotation Bureau, Incorporated, or any similar successor organization, in each of (A) and (B) of this paragraph, averaged over a period of the 20 consecutive trading days prior to the day as of which the Market Price is being determined, or (ii) at any time such security is not listed on any securities exchange or quoted in an over the counter market, as determined reasonably and in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Bank (the "Board"). The Holder may object in writing to the Board's determination of Market Price within seven days of receipt of written notice thereof. If the Holder and the Bank are unable to agree on the Market Price during the seven-day period following the delivery of the Holder's objection, the Appraisal Procedure may be invoked by either party to determine Market Price by delivering written notice thereof not later than the 20th day after delivery of the Holder's objection.The term "Appraisal Procedure" shall mean a procedure whereby two independent appraisers, one chosen by the Bank and one by the Holder, shall mutually agree upon the determinations then the subject of appraisal. Each party shall deliver a notice to the other appointing its appraiser within 10 days after the Appraisal Procedure is invoked. If within 15 days after appointment of the two appraisers they are unable to agree upon the amount in question, a third independent appraiser shall be chosen within 10 days thereafter by the mutual consent of such first two appraisers or, if such first two appraisers are unable to agree upon the appointment of a third appraiser, such appointment shall be made by the American Arbitration Association, or any organization successor thereto, from a panel of arbitrators having experience in the appraisal of the subject matter to be appraised. The decision of the third appraiser so appointed and chosen shall be given within 20 days after the selection of such third appraiser. If three appraisers shall be appointed and the determination of one appraiser is disparate from the- 3 -5196223
middle determination by more than twice the amount by which the other determination is disparate from the middle determination, then the determination of_ such appraiser shall be excluded, the remaining two determinations shall be averaged and such average shall be binding and conclusive upon the Bank and the Holder; otherwise, the average of all three determinations shall be binding upon the Bank and the Holder. The costs of conducting any Appraisal Procedure shall be borne equally by the Bank and the Holder.Upon receipt of the executed Notice of Exercise by the Bank, the Holder shall be deemed to be the holder of record of such Warrant Shares to be issued pursuant to the Cashless Exercise, notwithstanding that the Bank's stock transfer books may be closed or that certificates representing such Warrant Shares have not been issued or delivered to the Holder, provided, however, that in the event the Appraisal Procedure has been invoked in connection with a dispute regarding the Market Price, then the Holder shall be deemed to be the holder of record of the number of Warrant Shares that it would own if the Bank were to prevail in the Appraisal Procedure, pending the outcome of such proceeding, and the Bank shall deliver to the Holder, upon receipt of the executed Notice of Exercise, and, if applicable, following the outcome of the Appraisal Procedure, the number of Warrant Shares necessary to effect the foregoing.The Bank shall, as promptly as practicable after completion of the exercise of the Warrant as specified in this Section 1.3(b), cause to be executed, and delivered to the Holder exercising such Warrants, a certificate representing the aggregate number of Warrant Shares calculated pursuant to the Cashless Exercise formula described above. Each certificate so delivered shall be in such denomination as may be requested by the Holder and shall be registered in the name of the Holder. If this Warrant shall have been exercised only in part, then the Bank shall, at the time of delivery of said certificate or certificates, also deliver to the Holder a new Warrant evidencing the remaining outstanding unexercised balance of Warrant Shares. The Bank shall pay all expenses, stock transfer taxes and other charges payable in connection with the preparation, execution and delivery of such certificates for shares of Common Stock and new Warrants.SECTION 2. ADJUSTMENTS2.1. Adjustments and Other Rights. The Exercise Price and the number of Warrant Shares issuable shall be subject to adjustment from time to time as follows; provided, that if more than one subsection of this Section 2.1 is applicable to a single event, the subsection shall be applied that produces the largest adjustment and no single event shall cause an adjustment under more than one subsection of this Section 2.1 so as to result in duplication:(a) Stock Splits, Subdivisions, Reclassifications or Combinations. If the Bank shall (i) declare and pay a dividend or make a distribution on its Common Stock in shares of Common Stock, (ii) subdivide or reclassify the outstanding shares of Common Stock into a greater number of shares, or (iii) combine or reclassify the outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, the number of Warrant Shares issuable at the time of the record date for such dividend or distribution or the effective date of such subdivision, combination or reclassification shall be proportionately adjusted so that- 4-5196223
the Holder after such date shall be entitled to purchase the number of shares of Common Stock which such Holder would have owned or been entitled to receive in respect of the shares of Common Stock subject to this Warrant after such date had this Warrant been exercised immediately prior to such date. In such event, the Exercise Price in effect at the time of the record date for such dividend or distribution or the effective date of such subdivision, combination or reclassification shall be adjusted to the number obtained by dividing (x) the product of (1) the number of Warrant Shares issuable before such adjustment and (2) the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to the record or effective date, as the case may be, for the dividend, distribution, subdivision, combination or reclassification giving rise to this adjustment by (y) the new number of Warrant Shares issuable determined pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence.(b) Adjustments for Certain Dividends and Distributions. If while this Warrant, or any portion hereof, remains outstanding and unexpired, the holders of Common Stock shall have received, or, on or after the record date fixed for the determination of eligible stockholders, shall have become entitled to receive, without payment therefor, additional stock or other securities, assets or property (other than ordinary cash dividends or dividends paid or payable in shares of Common Stock, but including extraordinary cash dividends or distributions) of the Bank by way of dividend or distribution (other than as part of its dissolution, liquidation or the winding up of its affairs), then and in each case, the Exercise Price in effect prior to such record date (or if there is no record date, the date of receipt of such dividend or distribution) shall be reduced immediately thereafter to the price determined by multiplying the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such reduction by the quotient of (i) (A) the Market Price of the Common Stock on the last trading day preceding the first date on which the Common Stock trades regular way on the principal national securities exchange on which the Common Stock is listed or admitted to trading without the right to receive such distributions (or, if the Common Stock is not so listed or admitted to trading, the Market Price of the Common Stock on the last day prior to the record date for such dividend or distribution), minus (B) the amount of cash and/or the Fair Market Value of the additional stock or other securities, assets or property to be so distributed in respect of one share of Common Stock, divided by (ii) such Market Price specified in clause (i) (A); such adjustment shall be made successively whenever such a record date is fixed. In such event, the number of Warrant Shares issuable shall be increased to the number obtained by dividing (x) the product of (1) the number of Warrant Shares issuable before such adjustment and (2) the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to the distribution giving rise to this adjustment by (y) the new Exercise Price determined in accordance with the immediately preceding sentence. "Fair Market Value" means, with respect to any additional stock or other securities, assets or property, the fair market value of such additional stock or other securities, assets or other property as determined by the Board, acting in good faith. For so long as the Holder holds this Warrant or any portion thereof, it may object in writing to the Board's calculation of fair market value within 10 days of receipt of written notice thereof. If the Holder and the Bank are unable to agree on the fair market value during the 10-day period following the delivery of the Holder's- 5-5196223
objection, the Appraisal Procedure may be invoked by either party to determine Fair Market Value by delivering written notification thereof not later than the 30th day after delivery of the Holder's objection.(c) If any event shall occur as to which the provisions of this Section 2.1 are not strictly applicable but the failure to make any adjustment would not fairly protect the purchase right represented by this Warrant in accordance with the essential intent and principles of Section 2.1, then, in each such case, the Board shall make such adjustment, if any, on a basis consistent with the essential intent and principles established in this Section 2.1 necessary to preserve,. without dilution, the purchase right represented by this Warrant.2.2. Adjustment Procedures. The following provisions shall be applicable to adjustments to be made pursuant to Section 2.1 hereof:(a) When Adjustments to be Made. The adjustments required by this Section 2 shall be made whenever and as often as any event requiring an adjustment shall occur. For the purpose of any such adjustment, any event shall be deemed to have occurred at the close of business on the date of its occurrence.(b) Fractional Interests. In computing adjustments under this Section 2, fractional interests in a Warrant Share shall be taken into account to the nearest 1/lOth of a Warrant Share. In no event, however, shall fractional interests or scrip representing fractional interests be issued upon the exercise of this Warrant. In lieu thereof, a cash payment shall be made to the Holder in an amount equal to such fraction multiplied by the Market Price per share of Common Stock.(c) When Adjustment Not Required.(i) If the Bank shall establish a record date for the determination of the holders of record of Common Stock for the purpose of entitling such holders to receive a dividend payable as provided in Section 2.1(a) and shall, thereafter and before the distribution to shareholders thereof, legally abandon its plan to pay or deliver such dividend, then no adjustment under Section 2.1(a) shall be required by reason of the establishment of such record date and any such adjustment previously made in respect thereof shall be rescinded and annulled.(ii) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no adjustment under Section 2.1 need be made to the Exercise Price and/or the number of Warrant Shares, as the case may be, unless such adjustment would require an increase or decrease of at least 1% of the Exercise Price and/or the number of Warrant Shares, as the case may be, then in effect. Any lesser adjustment(s) shall be carried forward and shall be made at the time of and together with the next subsequent adjustment, if any, which, together with any adjustment or adjustments so carried forward, shall amount to an increase or decrease of- 6-5196223
at least 1% of such Exercise Price and/or the number of Warrant Shares. Notwithstanding the foregoing, all such carried-forward adjustments shall be made in connection with any exercise of the Warrant.(d) Officers' Certificate Setting Forth Exercise Price Adjustment. Upon any increase or decrease in the Warrant Shares or the Exercise Price, as the case may be, pursuant to Section 2.1, the Bank promptly shall deliver to each Holder an officers' certificate signed by two duly authorized officers of the Bank ("Officers' Certificate") describing in reasonable detail the event requiring the increase or decrease in the Exercise Price and the method of calculation thereof and specifying the increased or decreased Warrant Shares or Exercise Price, as the case may be, in effect following · such adjustment.2.3. Consolidation, Merger and Sale of Assets.(a) In the event of (i) any consolidation or merger of the Bank with or into another Person or any merger of another Person (as defined below) with or into the Bank (other than a consolidation or merger in which the Bank is the resulting or surviving Person and which does not result in any reclassification or change of the outstanding Common Stock), (ii) a reorganization into a bank holding company form of organization ("Holding Company Reorganization"), (iii) any sale, lease or other disposition to another Person of all or substantially all of the assets of the Bank (computed on a consolidated basis), (iv) any statutory share exchange, spin off or split off involving the Bank, or (v) a reorganization or reclassification of the Common Stock (other than a change in par value, or from no par value to par value, or from par value to no par value, or as a result of a subdivision or a combination) (any of the foregoing, a "Corporate Change Transaction"), then the Holder shall thereafter be entitled to receive upon exercise of this Warrant in whole or in part, the same kind and number of shares of capital stock and other securities, cash or other property (and upon the same terms and with the same rights) as would have been distributed to the Holder upon consummation of such Corporate Change Transaction had the Holder exercised this Warrant immediately prior to the occurrence of such transaction (subject to subsequent adjustments under this Section 2), and the Exercise Price shall be adjusted appropriately to reflect such action and adjustment. If any Corporate Change Transaction set forth in this Section 2.3(a) results in a cash distribution in excess of the Exercise Price provided by this Warrant, then the Holder may, at the Holder's option, exercise this Warrant without making payment of the Exercise Price, and in such case, the Bank or its successors and assigns shall, upon distribution to such Holder, deduct the Aggregate Exercise Price from the cash payable to such Holder in full payment of the Exercise Price, and pay the balance of the distribution to such Holder. For purposes of this Section 2.3, "Person" shall mean an individual, partnership, association, limited liability company, trust, unincorporated organization, government or agency or political subdivision thereof, or any other legal entity.- 7-5196223

The Holder may also, at any time and from time to time, in whole or in part, exercise this Warrant pursuant to a "Cashless Exercise," as defined and provided in Section 1.3(b). This Warrant shall expire at 5:00P.M., Eastern Time, on the lOth anniversary of the date of initial issuance of this Warrant (the "Expiration Time"). This Warrant is granted in connection with and pursuant to, and is entitled to the benefits of, the Amended and Restated Stock Subscription Agreement, dated as of June 25, 2010, by and between the Bank and the Purchasers named therein, as amended by that certain First Amendment to the Stock Subscription Agreement, dated as of August 27, 2010, and that certain Second Amendment to the Stock Subscription Agreement, dated as of September 21, 2011 (collectively, the "Subscription Agreement"), and the Registration Rights Agreement related thereto (the "Registration Rights Agreement"), and is granted in exchange for and replaces the Warrant to Purchase Shares of Series A Non-Cumulative Non-Voting Preferred Stock of the Bank dated September 30, 2010 (the "Original Warrant").SECTION 1. EXERCISE OF WARRANT.hereof.1.1. Vesting. The Holder's rights under this Warrant are fully vested as of the date1.2. Exercisability. This Warrant is exercisable, at any time and from time to time, in whole or in part, as of the date hereof and until the Expiration Time; provided, however, that the5196039
Holder shall not be entitled to exercise any portion of this Warrant prior to the receipt of any required regulatory approvals or consents to the extent required. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Bank shall not effect any exercise of the Warrant, and the Holder shall not have the right to exercise any portion of the Warrant, into Warrant Shares to the extent such exercise would result in the Holder (together with the Holder's related persons and any persons with which the Holder is acting in concert) holding Shares or other equity interests in the Bank representing in excess of 24.9% of the Total Equity of the Bank. For purposes of the preceding sentence, "Total Equity" means the GAAP carrying value of all shares of common, preferred and other equity capital of the Bank outstanding as of the date of determination.1.3. Procedure for Exercise of Warrant.(a) Cash Exercise. The Holder may exercise this Warrant in whole or in part by delivering to the Bank at any time and from time to time prior to the Expiration Time: (i) a completed and signed Notice of Exercise, as attached hereto as Schedule A (including the Substitute Form W-9, which forms a part thereof, the "Notice of Exercise"); (ii) cash in an amount equal to the product of (x) the Exercise Price (as this may be adjusted pursuant to Section 2 hereof), and (y) the number of Warrant Shares being purchased pursuant to such Notice of Exercise (such product, the "Aggregate Exercise Price"); and (iii) this Warrant to the following address:Opus Bank 1333 South Pacific Coast Highway Redondo Beach, CA 90277 Attention: Corporate SecretaryUpon payment in good collected funds of the Aggregate Exercise Price (rounded up to the nearest dollar) for the Warrant Shares being purchased, the Holder shall be deemed to be the holder of record of such Warrant Shares for all purposes, notwithstanding that the stock transfer books of the Bank may then be closed or that certificates representing such Warrant Shares have not been issued o:r delivered to the Holder.The Bank shall, as promptly as practicable after completion of the actions specified in this Section 1.3(a), cause to be executed, and shall deliver to the Holder, a certificate representing the aggregate number of Warrant Shares specified in the Notice of Exercise. Each certificate for shares of Series A Preferred Stock so delivered shall be in such denomination as may be requested by the Holder and shall be registered in the name of the Holder. If this Warrant shall have been exercised only in part, then the Bank shall, at the time of delivery of said certificate or certificates, also deliver to the Holder a new Warrant evidencing the remaining outstanding unexercised balance of Warrant Shares. The Bank shall pay all expenses, stock transfer taxes and other charges payable in connection with the preparation, execution and delivery of such certificates for shares of Series A Preferred Stock and new Warrants.(b) Cashless Exercise. The Holder hereof may elect to exercise this Warrant, in whole or in part, and to receive, without the payment by such Holder of any additional cash or- 2-
other consideration (the "Cashless Exercise"), Warrant Shares equal to the value of this Warrant or any portion hereof by surrendering this Warrant, along with the Notice of Exercise providing such number of Warrant Shares to be surrendered in the Cashless Exercise, to the address provided above in Section 1.3(a). The Bank shall then issue to the Holder such number of validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable Warrant Shares as is computed using the following formula:X= Y*(A-B) Awhere X = the number of shares of Series A Preferred Stock to be issued to the Holder pursuant to this Section 1.3(b).Y = the number of Warrant Shares to be surrendered according to the Notice of Exercise delivered to the Bank pursuant to this Section 1.3(b).A= the Market Price of one share of Series A Preferred Stock at the time the Notice of Exercise is made pursuant to this Section 1.3(b).B = the Exercise Price in effect under this Warrant at the time the Notice of Exercise is made pursuant to this Section 1.3(b).The term "Market Price" of a share of Series A Preferred Stock shall mean the fair market value of a share, which shall be, (i) at any time such security is listed or traded on any securities exchange or quoted in an over-the-counter market, (A) the last reported sale price regular way of the Series A Preferred Stock on the principal national securities exchange on which the Series A Preferred Stock is listed or admitted to trading, or, if there have been no sales reported on any day, the average of the highest bid and lowest asked prices on such exchange, or (B) if on any day such security is not so listed and is instead quoted in the over-the-counter market, the average of the highest bid and lowest asked prices on such day in the domestic over-the-counter market as reported by the National Quotation Bureau, Incorporated, or any similar successor organization, in each of (A) and (B) of this paragraph, averaged over a period of the 20 consecutive trading days prior to the day as of which the Market Price is being determined, or (ii) at any time such security is not listed on any securities exchange or quoted in an over the counter market, as determined reasonably and in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Bank (the "Board"). The Holder may object in writing to the Board's determination of Market Price within seven days of receipt of written notice thereof. If the Holder and the Bank are unable to agree on the Market Price during the seven-day period following the delivery of the Holder's objection, the Appraisal Procedure may be invoked by either party to determine Market Price by delivering written notice thereof not later than the 20th day after delivery of the Holder's objection.The term "Appraisal Procedure" shall mean a procedure whereby two independent appraisers, one chosen by the Bank and one by the Holder, shall mutually agree upon the determinations then the subject of appraisal. Each party shall deliver a notice to the other appointing its appraiser within 10 days after the Appraisal Procedure is invoked. If within 15- 3-
days after appointment of the two appraisers they are unable to agree upon the amount in question, a third independent appraiser shall be chosen within 10 days thereafter by the mutual consent of such first two appraisers or, if such first two appraisers are unable to agree upon the appointment of a third appraiser, such appointment shall be made by the American Arbitration Association, or any organization successor thereto, from a panel of arbitrators having experience in the appraisal of the subject matter to be appraised. The decision of the third appraiser so appointed and chosen shall be given within 20 days after the selection of such third appraiser. If three appraisers shall be appointed and the determination of one appraiser is disparate from the middle determination by more than twice the amount by which the other determination is disparate from the middle determination, then the determination of such appraiser shall be excluded, the remaining two determinations shall be averaged and such average shall be binding and conclusive upon the Bank and the Holder; otherwise, the average of all three determinations shall be binding upon the Bank and the Holder. The costs of conducting any Appraisal Procedure shall be borne equally by the Bank and the Holder.Upon receipt of the executed Notice of Exercise by the Bank, the Holder shall be deemed to be the holder of record of such Warrant Shares to be issued pursuant to the Cashless Exercise, notwithstanding that the Bank's stock transfer books may be closed or that certificates representing such Warrant Shares have not been issued or delivered to the Holder, provided, however, that in the event the Appraisal Procedure has been invoked in connection with a dispute regarding the Market Price, then the Holder shall be deemed to be the holder of record of the number of Warrant Shares that it would own if the Bank were to prevail in the Appraisal Procedure, pending the outcome of such proceeding, and the Bank shall deliver to the Holder, upon receipt of the executed Notice of Exercise, and, if applicable, following the outcome of the Appraisal Procedure, the number of Warrant Shares necessary to effect the foregoing.The Bank shall, as promptly as practicable after completion of the exercise of the Warrant as specified in this Section 1.3(b), cause to be executed, and delivered to the Holder exercising such Warrants, a certificate representing the aggregate number of Warrant Shares calculated pursuant to the Cashless Exercise formula described above. Each certificate so delivered shall be in such denomination as may be requested by the Holder and shall be registered in the name of the Holder. If this Warrant shall have been exercised only in part, then the Bank shall, at the time of delivery of said certificate or certificates, also deliver to the Holder a new Warrant evidencing the remaining outstanding unexercised balance of Warrant Shares. The Bank shall pay all expenses, stock transfer taxes and other charges payable in connection with the preparation, execution and delivery of such certificates for shares of Series A Preferred Stock and new Warrants.SECTION 2. ADJUSTMENTS2.1. Adjustments and Other Rights. The Exercise Price and the number of Warrant Shares issuable shall be subject to adjustment from time to time as follows; provided, that if more than one subsection of this Section 2.1 is applicable to a single event, the subsection shall be applied that produces the largest adjustment and no single event shall cause an adjustment under more than one subsection of this Section 2.1 so as to result in duplication:- 4-
(a) Stock Splits, Subdivisions, Reclassifications or Combinations. If the Bank shall (i) declare and pay a dividend or make a distribution on its Series A Preferred Stock in shares of Series A Preferred Stock, (ii) subdivide or reclassify the outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock into a greater number of shares, or (iii) combine or reclassify the outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock into a smaller number of shares, the number of Warrant Shares issuable at the time of the record date for such dividend or distribution or the effective date of such subdivision, combination or reclassification shall be proportionately adjusted so that the Holder after such date shall be entitled to purchase the number of shares of Series A Preferred Stock which such Holder would have owned or been entitled to receive in respect of the shares of Series A Preferred Stock subject to this Warrant after such date had this Warrant been exercised immediately prior to such date. In such event, the Exercise Price in effect at the time of the record date for such dividend or distribution or the effective date of such subdivision, combination or reclassification shall be adjusted to the number obtained by dividing (x) the product of (1) the number of Warrant Shares issuable before such adjustment and (2) the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to the record or effective date, as the case may be, for the dividend, distribution, subdivision, combination or reclassification giving rise to this adjustment by (y) the new number of Warrant Shares issuable determined pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence.(b) Adjustments for Certain Dividends and Distributions. If while this Warrant, or any portion hereof, remains outstanding and unexpired, the holders of Series A Preferred Stock shall have received, or, on or after the record date fixed for the determination of eligible stockholders, shall have become entitled to receive, without payment therefor, additional stock or other securities, assets or property (other than ordinary cash dividends or dividends paid or payable in shares of Series A Preferred Stock, but including extraordinary cash dividends or distributions) of the Bank by way of dividend or distribution (other than as part of its dissolution, liquidation or the winding up of its affairs), then and in each case, the Exercise Price in effect prior to such record date (or if there is no record date, the date of receipt of such dividend or distribution) shall be reduced immediately thereafter to the price determined by multiplying the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such reduction by the quotient of (i) (A) the Market Price of the Series A Preferred Stock on the last trading day preceding the first date on which the Series A Preferred Stock trades regular way on the principal national securities exchange on which the Series A Preferred Stock is listed or admitted to trading without the right to receive such distributions (or, if the Series A Preferred Stock is not so listed or admitted to trading, the Market Price of the Series A Preferred Stock on the last day prior to the record date for such dividend or distribution), minus (B) the amount of cash and/or the Fair Market Value of the additional stock or other securities, assets or property to be so distributed in respect of one share of Series A Preferred Stock, divided by (ii) such Market Price specified in clause (i) (A); such adjustment shall be made successively whenever such a record date is fixed. In such event, the number of Warrant Shares issuable shall be increased to the number obtained by dividing (x) the product of (1) the number of Warrant Shares issuable before such adjustment and (2) the Exercise- 5-
Price in effect immediately prior to the distribution giving rise to this adjustment by (y) the new Exercise Price determined in accordance with the immediately preceding sentence. "Fair M arket Value" means, with respect to any additional stock or other securities, assets or property, the fair market value of such additional stock or other securities, assets or other property as determined by the Board, acting in good faith. For so long as the Holder holds this Warrant or any portion thereof, it may object in writing to the Board's calculation of fair market value within 10 days of receipt of written notice thereof. If the Holder and the Bank are unable to agree on the fair market value during the 10-day period following the delivery of the Holder's objection, the Appraisal Procedure may be invoked by either party to determine Fair Market Value by delivering written notification thereof not later than the 30th day after delivery of the Holder's objection.(c) If any event shall occur as to which the provisions of this Section 2.1 are not strictly applicable but the failure to make any adjustment would not fairly protect the purchase right represented by this Warrant in accordance with the essential intent and principles of Section 2.1, then, in each such case, the Board shall make such adjustment, if any, on a basis consistent with the essential intent and principles established in this Section 2.1 necessary to preserve, without dilution, the purchase right represented by this Warrant.(d) Upon exercise of the Warrant, the Holder will receive shares of Series A Preferred Stock that will have a "Conversion Rate" (as such term is defined in the Bank's Articles of Incorporation (the "Articles of Incorporation")). The Conversion Rate with respect to such shares of Series A Preferred Stock shall reflect any adjustments to the Conversion Price (as such term is defined in the Articles of Incorporation) pursuant to the Articles of Incorporation that may occur between the Issue Date and when shares of Series A Preferred Stock are issued to the Holder pursuant to the exercise of this Warrant.2.2. Adjustment Procedures. The following provisions shall be applicable to adjustments to be made pursuant to Section 2.1 hereof:(a) When Adjustments to be Made. The adjustments required by this Section 2 shall be made whenever and as often as any event requiring an adjustment shall occur. For the purpose of any such adjustment, any event shall be deemed to have occurred at the close of business on the date of its occurrence.(b) Fractional Interests. In computing adjustments under this Section 2, fractional interests in a Warrant Share shall be taken into account to the nearest 1/lOth of a Warrant Share. In no event, however, shall fractional interests or scrip representing fractional interests be issued upon the exercise of this Warrant. In lieu thereof, a cash payment shall be made to the Holder in an amount equal to such fraction multiplied by the Market Price per share of Series A Preferred Stock.(c) When Adjustment Not Required.- 6-
(i) If the Bank shall establish a record date for the determination of the holders of record of Series A Preferred Stock for the purpose of entitling such holders to receive a dividend payable as provided in Section 2.1(a) and shall, thereafter and before the distribution to shareholders thereof, legally abandon its plan to pay or deliver such dividend, then no adjustment under Section 2.1(a) shall be required by reason of the establishment of such record date and any such adjustment previously made in respect thereof shall be rescinded and annulled.(ii) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no adjustment under Section 2.1 need be made to the Exercise Price and/or the number of Warrant Shares, as the case may be, unless such adjustment would require an increase or decrease of at least 1% of the Exercise Price and/or the number of Warrant Shares, as the case may be, then in effect. Any lesser adjustment(s) shall be carried forward and shall be made at the time of and together with the next subsequent adjustment, if any, which, together with any adjustment or adjustments so carried forward, shall amount to an increase or decrease of at least 1% of such Exercise Price and/or the number of Warrant Shares. Notwithstanding the foregoing, all such carried-forward adjustments shall be made in connection with any exercise of the Warrant.(d) Officers' Certificate Setting Forth Exercise Price Adjustment. Upon any increase or decrease in the Warrant Shares or the Exercise Price, as the case may be, pursuant to Section 2.1, the Bank promptly shall deliver to each Holder an officers' certificate signed by two duly authorized officers of the Bank ("Officers' Certificate") describing in reasonable detail the event requiring the increase or decrease in the Exercise Price and the method of calculation thereof and specifying the increased or decreased Warrant Shares or Exercise Price, as the case may be, in effect following such adjustment.2.3. Consolidation, Merger and Sale of Assets.(a) In the event of (i) any consolidation or merger of the Bank with or into another Person or any merger of another Person (as defined below) with or into the Bank (other than a consolidation or merger in which the Bank is the resulting or surviving Person and which does not result in any reclassification or change of outstanding common stock of the Bank ("Common Stock")), (ii) a reorganization into a bank holding company form of organization ("Holding Company Reorganization"), (iii) any sale, lease or other disposition to another Person of all or substantially all of the assets of the Bank (computed on a consolidated basis), (iv) any statutory share exchange, spin off or split off involving the Bank, or (v) a reorganization or reclassification of the Series A Preferred Stock (other than a change in par value, or from no par value to par value, or from par value to no par value, or as a result of a subdivision or a combination) (any of the foregoing, a "Corporate Change Transaction"), then the Holder shall thereafter be entitled to receive upon exercise of this Warrant in whole or in part, the same kind and number of shares of capital stock and other securities, cash or other property (and upon the same- 7-
terms and with the same rights) as would have been distributed to the Holder upon consummation of such Corporate Change Transaction had the Holder exercised this Warrant immediately prior to the occurrence of such transaction (subject to subsequent adjustments under this Section 2), and the Exercise Price shall be adjusted appropriately to reflect such action and adjustment. If any Corporate Change Transaction set forth in this Section 2.3(a) results in a cash distribution in excess of the Exercise Price provided by this Warrant, then the Holder may, at the Holder's option, exercise this Warrant without making payment of the Exercise Price, and in such case, the Bank or its successors and assigns shall, upon distribution to such Holder, deduct the Aggregate Exercise Price from the cash payable to such Holder in full payment of the Exercise Price, and pay the balance of the distribution to such Holder. For purposes of this Section 2.3, "Person" shall mean an individual, partnership, association, limited liability company, trust, unincorporated organization, government or agency or political subdivision thereof, or any other legal entity.(b) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Bank will not effect, and will not permit its subsidiaries to effect, any Corporate Change Transaction unless prior to the consummation thereof, every Person that may be required to deliver any shares of capital stock, other securities, cash or property upon the exercise of this Warrant shall agree by an instrument in writing to be bound by this Warrant and to deliver such shares of capital stock, other securities, cash or property to the Holder pursuant to the terms hereof. In the event of any Corporate Change Transaction as a result of a Holding Company Reorganization, any such newly formed bank holding company (the "Holding Company") shall as a condition to completing the Holding Company Reorganization, be required to issue to the Holder a new warrant ("New Warrant") in exchange for this Warrant. The New Warrant shall have terms, conditions and covenants that are substantially identical to the terms, conditions and covenants of this Warrant, including (i) an exercise price equal to the Warrant's then applicable Exercise Price and (ii) providing that the New Warrant shall be exercisable for an equivalent number of underlying shares of the Holding Company's preferred stock (or such other Holding Company capital stock that was issued by the Holding Company to the holders of Series A Preferred Stock upon completion of the Holding Company Reorganization) as the number of Warrant Shares that remain unexercised immediately prior to the date the Warrant is exchanged for the New Warrant all in accordance with Section 2.3(a). The term of the New Warrant shall be the length of time that remains with respect to the term of the Warrant immediately prior to the exchange for the New Warrant. The Holder and the Bank shall work in good faith to cause the exchange of the Warrant for the New Warrant upon a Holding Company Reorganization as contemplated by this Section 2.3(b). Upon exchange of the Warrant for the New Warrant, this Warrant shall be cancelled and be of no further force or effect.(c) The foregoing provisions of this Section 2.3 shall similarly apply to successive reorganizations, consolidations, mergers, sales and transfers and to the stock or securities of any other corporation that are at the time receivable upon the exercise or exchange of this Warrant.- 8-

Exhibit 99.1
Pacific Premier Bancorp, Inc. Announces Completion of Acquisition of Opus Bank
Irvine, Calif., June 1, 2020 – Pacific Premier Bancorp, Inc. (NASDAQ: PPBI) (the “Company” or “Pacific Premier”), the holding company of Pacific Premier Bank, announced today that it has completed the acquisition, effective as of June 1, 2020, of Opus Bank, a California-chartered commercial bank headquartered in Irvine, California (NASDAQ: OPB) (“Opus”).
Pursuant to the terms of the merger agreement by and among the Company, Pacific Premier Bank and Opus, each share of Opus common stock was converted into the right to receive 0.9000 of a share of Company common stock and each share of Opus preferred stock was converted into the right to receive that number of shares of Company common stock equal to the product of (X) the number of shares of Opus common stock into which such share of Opus preferred stock is convertible into, and (Y) 0.9000. The value of the total deal consideration was approximately $743.9 million, which is based upon the closing price of the Company’s common stock on May 29, 2020, the last trading day prior to the closing.
In connection with the acquisition, PENSCO Trust Company LLC, a Colorado-chartered non-depository trust company (“PENSCO”), which previously operated as an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of Opus and serves as a custodian for self-directed individual retirement accounts, was merged with and into Pacific Premier Bank, with Pacific Premier Bank surviving. Pacific Premier Bank will operate PENSCO’s custodial business as a trust department within Pacific Premier Bank. As of March 31, 2020, PENSCO had approximately $14 billion of custodial assets and approximately 45,000 client accounts.
Steven R. Gardner, Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company, commented, “We are pleased to welcome the clients and employees of Opus Bank and PENSCO Trust. This strategic combination creates one of the premier commercial banks in the Western United States, provides us with a meaningful presence in attractive metropolitan markets, a broad offering of banking products, and improved diversification of our banking franchise. The combination expands our capital and liquidity resources, which enhances our ability to be a source of strength to our clients and communities impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic.
Mr. Gardner added, “We are excited to complete this transaction, the largest in the Company's history, in just under four months after announcement. I am particularly proud of this accomplishment given the challenges presented by the COVID-19 pandemic. Our ability to move through the complex process of regulatory approval, shareholder approval and integration planning in such a short period of time emphasizes the strength of our culture and the organization we have built. I want to personally thank the team members of Pacific Premier, Opus Bank and PENSCO for their hard work and commitment through these extraordinary circumstances. We have already made significant progress in integrating the two organizations and we will complete the Opus system conversion early in the fourth quarter of 2020. We expect this will result in a smooth transition for our clients and employees, and enable us to quickly begin realizing the benefits that drive shareholder value.”
With the addition of Opus, on a pro forma combined basis, the Company would have total assets of approximately $20.0 billion, total loans outstanding of approximately $14.6 billion and total deposits of approximately $15.8 billion as of March 31, 2020 (unaudited).

Forward-Looking Statements
This press release contains “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 regarding the financial condition, results of operations, business plans and the future performance of Pacific Premier Bancorp. Words such as “anticipates,” “believes,” “estimates,” “expects,” “forecasts,” “intends,” “plans,” “projects,” “could,” “may,” “should,” “will” or other similar words and expressions are intended to identify these forward-looking statements. Such statements involve inherent risks and uncertainties, many of which are difficult to predict and are generally beyond the control of the Company. There can be no assurance that future developments affecting the Company will be the same as those anticipated by management. The Company cautions readers that a number of important factors could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed in, or implied or projected by, such forward-looking statements. The COVID-19 pandemic is adversely affecting us, our customers, counterparties, employees and third-party service providers, and the ultimate extent of the impacts on our business, financial position, results of operations, liquidity and prospects is uncertain. Continued deterioration in general business and economic conditions, including further increases in unemployment rates, or turbulence in domestic or global financial markets could adversely affect our revenues and the values of our assets and liabilities, reduce the availability of funding, lead to a tightening of credit, and further increase stock price volatility, which could result in impairment to our goodwill in future periods. In addition, changes to statutes, regulations, or regulatory policies or practices as a result of, or in response to COVID-19, could affect us in substantial and unpredictable ways, including the potential adverse impact of loan modifications and payment deferrals implemented consistent with recent regulatory guidance. Other risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, the following: the strength of the United States economy in general and the strength of the local economies in which we conduct operations; the effects of, and changes in, trade, monetary and fiscal policies and laws, including interest rate policies of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System; inflation/deflation, interest rate, market and monetary fluctuations; the effect of acquisitions we may make, such as our acquisition of Opus, including, without limitation, the failure to achieve the expected revenue growth and/or expense savings from such acquisitions, and/or the failure to effectively integrate an acquisition target into our operations; the timely development of competitive new products and services and the acceptance of these products and services by new and existing customers; the impact of changes in financial services policies, laws and regulations, including those concerning taxes, banking, securities and insurance, and the application thereof by regulatory bodies; the effectiveness of our risk management framework and quantitative models; changes in the level of our nonperforming assets and charge-offs; uncertainty regarding the future of LIBOR; the effect of changes in accounting policies and practices or accounting standards, as may be adopted from time-to-time by bank regulatory agencies, the SEC, the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board, the Financial Accounting Standards Board or other accounting standards setters, including ASU 2016-13 (Topic 326), “Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments,” commonly referenced as the CECL model, which has changed how we estimate credit losses and may further increase the required level of our allowance for credit losses in future periods; possible credit related impairments of securities held by us; possible impairment charges to goodwill; the impact of current governmental efforts to restructure the U.S. financial regulatory system, including any amendments to the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act; changes in consumer spending, borrowing and savings habits; the effects of our lack of a diversified loan portfolio, including the risks of geographic and industry concentrations; our ability to attract deposits and other sources of liquidity; the possibility that we may reduce or discontinue the payments of dividends on common stock; changes in the financial performance and/or condition of our borrowers; changes in the competitive environment among financial and bank holding companies and other financial service providers; geopolitical conditions, including acts or threats of terrorism, actions taken by the United States or other governments in response to acts or threats of terrorism and/or military conflicts, which could impact business and economic conditions in the United States and abroad; public health crisis and pandemics, including the COVID-19 pandemic, and their effects on the economic and business environments in which we operate, including on our credit quality and business operations, as well as the impact on general economic and financial market conditions; cybersecurity threats and the cost of defending against them, including the costs of compliance with potential legislation to combat cybersecurity at a state, national or global level; unanticipated regulatory or legal proceedings; and our ability to manage the risks involved in the foregoing. Additional factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed in the forward-looking statements are discussed in our 2019 Annual Report on Form 10-K and our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2020 filed with the SEC and available at the SEC’s Internet site (http://sec.gov).

(2) | Summary of Significant Accounting Policies |
The following is a summary of the significant accounting policies used in preparing the Company’s consolidated financial statements:
(a) Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q adopted by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) and conform to general practices within the Company’s industry. Accordingly, the financial statements do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements, and notes thereto, as of and for the year ended December 31, 2019 (“2019 Consolidated Financial Statements”) included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the FDIC on February 28, 2020, as amended by the Amendment No. 1 to Annual Report on Form 10-K/A filed with the FDIC on March 24, 2020 (collectively, our “2019 Form 10-K”).
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. These estimates are based on information available as of the date of the consolidated financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Our financial statements reflect all adjustments (consisting of only normal recurring adjustments) that are, in the opinion of management, necessary to present a fair statement of the results for the interim periods presented. The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2020 are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for any future periods.
Certain items in prior periods were reclassified to conform to the current presentation. For further information, refer to the 2019 Consolidated Financial Statements – Note 2, “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies.”
(b) Risks and Uncertainties related to the COVID-19 pandemic
We considered the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the assumptions and estimates used in the determination of our allowance for credit losses. In addition, given the volatility in the stock market triggered by the COVID-19 pandemic, we performed an evaluation of goodwill for potential impairment, which resulted in a $96.2 million goodwill impairment loss for the three months ended March 31, 2020.
8
If COVID-19 is not successfully eradicated, or if it takes longer than expected to contain and manage the spread of COVID-19, we may experience additional material adverse impacts on our business, financial condition, results of operations, and prospects. Unexpected and significant changes or events may result in the need for additional provision for credit losses in order to maintain an allowance for credit losses that complies with our credit risk and accounting policies. Further and prolonged deterioration of the economic environment and the Company’s stock price could cause additional non-cash goodwill impairment losses. Prolonged effects of COVID-19 would also result in increased demand for liquidity from our clients.
It is difficult to predict the full impact that the COVID-19 pandemic, and the measures taken by federal, state and local governments in response thereto, will have on our operations. While our on-balance sheet liquidity as of March 31, 2020 was strong and, when combined with our contingent liquidity resources, was sufficient to meet the liquidity needs of our clients, no assurance can be given that these resources will be sufficient to meet our clients’ demands, or will be available at all, in the future.
(c) Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, its wholly-owned subsidiaries, and variable interest entities (“VIEs”) where the Company is the primary beneficiary. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions with consolidated entities have been eliminated. The Company evaluates its associations with VIEs, both at inception and when there is a change in circumstance that requires reconsideration, to determine if the Company is the primary beneficiary and consolidation is required. A primary beneficiary is defined as a variable interest holder that has a controlling financial interest. A controlling financial interest requires both: (a) the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the VIEs economic performance, and (b) the obligation to absorb losses or receive benefits of a VIE that could potentially be significant to a VIE. During the periods presented we did not provide financial or other support to any VIE that we were not previously contractually required to provide.
(d) Recent Accounting Pronouncements
The following is a summary of Accounting Standards Updates (“ASU”) issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) applicable to the Company that were adopted or became effective during the three months ended March 31, 2020:
Adopted
ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments. ASU 2016-13 was issued to change the way entities recognize impairment of financial instruments by requiring immediate recognition of estimated credit losses expected to occur over their remaining life. In addition to ASU 2016-13, there have been additional amendments that relate to Topic 326, including ASU 2018-19, ASU 2019-04, ASU 2019-05, ASU 2019-10, ASU 2019-11, ASU 2020-02, and ASU 2020- 03.
On January 1, 2020, the Company adopted ASC 326 using the modified retrospective method for all financial assets measured at amortized cost and off-balance sheet credit exposures. Results for reporting periods beginning after January 1, 2020 are presented under ASC 326, while prior period amounts continue to be reported in accordance with previously applicable GAAP standards. The Company recorded a net decrease to retained earnings of $2.7 million, net of tax as of January 1, 2020 for the cumulative effect of adopting ASC 326. The transition adjustment relates to changes in the estimation of credit losses required under ASC 326, net of the related tax effect. Under the prior accounting standards, the allowance for loan losses was estimated based upon an incurred loss methodology for credit losses deemed to be “probable” and “estimable.” Under ASC 326, the current expected credit losses (“CECL”) model requires entities to establish an allowance for credit losses (“ACL”) that reflects expected credit losses, regardless of whether they have reached the “probable” and “estimable” thresholds, taking into consideration a broad range of information that includes historical data as well as forward-looking information.
9
The Company adopted ASC 326 using the prospective transition approach for debt securities available-for-sale. The Company had not recorded any other-than-temporary impairment prior to the adoption of ASC 326, and the amortized cost basis as well as the effective interest rate did not change on our debt securities, and no allowance for credit losses was recorded on the Company’s debt securities, available-for-sale with the adoption of ASC 326.
The following table summarizes the financial statement impact of ASC 326:

In connection with the Company’s adoption of ASC 326, we considered the following areas in our ACL:
• | Loans |
Upon adoption of ASC 326, the Company made an accounting policy election to exclude accrued interest receivable from its estimated ACL on loans. The balance of accrued interest receivable is not included in loans, and is instead separately reported on the consolidated balance sheet as of each reporting date.
The calculation of ACL under ASC 326 is inherently subjective as it requires management to exercise judgment in determining appropriate factors and assumptions used to determine the allowance. The Company’s established framework over ACL includes a systematic, risk-based, and consistently-applied methodology, with underlying data to support key assumptions. Specifically, our methodology is predominantly segregated as follows:
10
Pooled loans
The majority of our loan portfolio is reserved using loan pools established by the Company, taking into consideration common credit risk attributes, including loan product type and risk ratings. Loan product types, including multifamily, owner-occupied commercial real estate, non-owner occupied commercial real estate, commercial and industrial, reflect common characteristics of underwriting, collateral security, and sources of repayment, all of which are relevant in assessing risk characteristics. Additionally, risk ratings (i.e. pass, special mention, substandard, doubtful, loss), are individually assigned to all loans within our portfolio using predefined risk rating definitions that are derived from regulatory guidance and loan policies.
Our methodology utilizes a loss-rate based approach to estimate credit losses, taking into consideration company-specific historical loss experience and predefined peer historical loss experience for pools that lack loss history. The historical loss rates are adjusted for qualitative environmental factors, based upon management's analysis of current and expected economic conditions, lending environment, underwriting standards, and trends in relevant credit metrics. Additionally, we utilize a reasonable and supportable economic forecast to estimate future credit losses for each loan pool, derived from a third party provider of historical and forecasted state and national macroeconomic and demographic data. Such credit loss estimates cover the estimated weighted-average remaining contractual maturities of the loan portfolio, adjusted for expected prepayments derived from the Company's actual historical prepayment experience. Our reasonable and supportable forecast generally extends for two years, followed by a one year straight-line reversion to historical average loss rates.
Non-pooled loans
As part of the Company’s risk management and credit administration processes, the Company continually evaluates the credit quality and ongoing performance of the loan portfolio. When individual loan relationships no longer share common credit risk characteristics of the established loan pools, the Company removes them from the loan pools and evaluates them on an individual basis. This typically occurs when borrowers have experienced financial difficulty, including, but not limited to, delinquent loan payments, troubled debt restructurings, non-accrual payment status, bankruptcy, delinquent taxes, and previous charge offs. Such individually identified loan relationships are evaluated to determine whether they are collateral dependent by considering whether repayment is expected to be provided substantially through the operation or sale of the underlying collateral. For loan relationships deemed collateral dependent, credit losses are estimated using collateral valuations, which are generally supported by various data points, including, but not limited to, independent appraisal valuations, terms of sale transactions executed with willing buyers, or independent broker price opinions that reflect actual sales transactions for similar collateral types. For loan relationships that are not deemed collateral dependent, the Company estimates credit losses using a discounted cash flow approach, which generally captures all estimated future loan payments anticipated from the borrower, discounted using the effective interest rate at the time of origination.
• | Unfunded loan commitments |
Management follows a methodology to estimate the ACL on unfunded loan commitments. The Company applies a probability of funding to the unfunded commitment amount for each portfolio and the loss factors estimated for pooled loans. Such allowance is recorded to other liabilities and the corresponding provision is recorded to other non-interest expense.
11
• | Debt securities, available-for-sale |
Debt securities that are in an unrealized loss position as of each reporting date are evaluated to assess the nature of decline in fair value. Specifically, management first evaluates whether it intends, or it is more likely than not that it will be required to sell the security prior to recovery of its amortized cost basis. If either one of the aforementioned conditions are met, the cost basis of the security is written down to its fair value, and the impact is recognized in the consolidated statement of income. For securities that do not meet the aforementioned conditions, management evaluates the decline in fair value to assess whether such decline resulted from credit- or non-credit related factors. Such considerations include, but are not limited to, changes in the rating of the security, quality of the underlying collateral, repayment capacity of the issuer, and extent of decline in fair value below the amortized cost basis. If the decline in fair value is attributable to credit-related factors, the amount of impairment is measured using the present value of expected cash flows as compared to the amortized cost basis of the security. The amount of shortfall in cash flows driven by credit-related factors is recognized as an ACL, limited by the amount that fair value is less than amortized cost basis. For all periods following the initial recognition of ACL, management will record changes in the ACL through the provision for credit losses on the consolidated statement of income.
Unanticipated economic events that affect the U.S. economy could cause a change in expectations for current conditions and economic forecasts that could result in an increase to the ACL. In addition, changes in our portfolio mix or credit characteristics could also increase the ACL. Unexpected and significant changes or events may result in the need for additional provision for credit losses in order to maintain an ACL that complies with our credit risk and accounting policies.
ASU 2017-04, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment. ASU 2017-04 was issued to require that entities no longer perform a hypothetical purchase price allocation to measure goodwill impairment. Instead, impairment will be measured using the difference between the carrying amount and the fair value of the reporting unit. For public business entities, the ASU was effective for annual and interim periods in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019. The Company adopted this guidance on January 1, 2020. Refer to Note 6, “Goodwill and other intangibles” for further information on the Company’s goodwill and intangible assets.
ASU 2018-13, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosure Framework - Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement. ASU 2018-13 was issued to improve the effectiveness of disclosure requirements on a narrow set of concepts relating to fair value measurements. For public business entities, the ASU was effective for annual and interim periods in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019. The Company adopted this guidance on January 1, 2020. Adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.
ASU 2018-15, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other - Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Customer's Accounting for Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement That Is a Service Contract. ASU 2018-15 was issued to align the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred in a hosting arrangement that is a service contract with the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred to develop or obtain internal-use software (and hosting arrangements that include an internal use software license). For public business entities, the ASU was effective for annual and interim periods in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019. The Company adopted this guidance on January 1, 2020. Adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements given that (1) the changes under the ASU were generally in line with the Company's existing accounting treatment of implementation costs incurred in a hosting arrangement that is a service contract and (2) the Company has not incurred a material amount of implementation costs in a hosting arrangement.
12
Issued but Not Yet Adopted
ASU 2020-01, Clarifying interactions between Investments—Equity Securities (Topic 321), Investments— Equity Method and Joint Ventures (Topic 323), and Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815). ASU 2020-01 was issued to clarify that an entity should consider observable transactions that require it to either apply or discontinue the equity method of accounting for the purposes of applying the measurement alternative in accordance with Topic 321. The amendment also clarifies scope considerations for forward contracts and purchased options on certain securities. For public business entities, this ASU is effective for annual and interim periods in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Adoption of this guidance is not expected to have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements. This update clarifies the accounting for certain equity securities upon the application or discontinuation of the equity method of accounting and will be applied if that situation arises. The update regarding forward contracts and purchased options on certain securities is not applicable, as the Company does not have any forward contracts and purchased options.
ASU 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting. ASU 2020-04 was issued to provide optional guidance for a limited period of time to ease the potential burden in accounting for (or recognizing the effects of) reference rate reform on financial reporting. The amendments in this update apply to contract modifications that replace a reference rate affected by reference rate reform (including rates referenced in fallback provisions) and contemporaneous modifications of other contract terms related to the replacement of the reference rate (including contract modifications to add or change fallback provisions). Modifications of contracts within the scope of Receivables (Topics 310) and Debt (Topic 470) should be accounted for prospectively by adjusting the effective interest rate. The amendments in this ASU are effective for all entities as of March 12, 2020 through December 31, 2022. The Company is currently assessing the impact of the adoption of this guidance.
(3) | Fair Value |
Fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction (that is not a forced transaction) between willing market participants at the measurement date. Financial instruments recorded at fair value on a recurring basis include the Company’s debt securities available-for-sale and equity warrant assets. Additionally, the Company may be required to record other assets and liabilities at fair value on a nonrecurring basis, such as impaired loans or other repossessed assets. These nonrecurring fair value measurements typically involve write-downs of individual assets or application of lower of cost or fair value accounting.
Fair value is best determined based upon quoted market prices; however, in many instances, there are no quoted market prices for the Company’s various financial instruments available. In cases where quoted market prices are not available, fair values are estimated using present value or other valuation techniques. These valuation techniques require considerable judgement and the resulting estimates of fair value can be significantly affected by the assumptions used, including the discount rate and estimates of future cash flows.
Refer to Note 2, “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies.” in the 2019 Consolidated Financial Statements for information on the fair value hierarchy, valuation methodologies, and key inputs used to measure financial assets and liabilities recorded at fair value, as well as the significant assumptions used to estimate fair value disclosures for financial instruments not recorded at fair value in their entirety on a recurring basis.

Gains or losses from fair value adjustments related to nonrecurring fair value measurements reflect changes in the underlying values of collateral-dependent impaired loans and are valued using external appraised values or business assets that may include adjustments for assumptions of market conditions that are not directly observable.
For collateral-dependent impaired loans measured on a nonrecurring basis, fair value adjustments through specific reserve or charge-off resulted in losses of $18,000 and $210,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

As of March 31, 2020, the Company had 38 debt securities, available-for-sale totaling $450.5 million that were in an unrealized loss position. The securities in an unrealized loss position included one government-sponsored entity note totaling $8.0 million, 16 government-sponsored entities mortgage-backed securities totaling $292.0 million, five corporate debt securities totaling $52.5 million, and 16 collateralized loan obligations totaling $98.0 million. Of the 38 securities, three government-sponsored entity mortgage-backed securities totaling $151.3 million had been in a continuous unrealized loss position for over 12 months as of March 31, 2020.
As of December 31, 2019, the Company had 30 securities totaling $437.5 million that were in an unrealized loss position. The securities in an unrealized loss position included one government-sponsored entity note totaling $8.6 million, 20 government-sponsored entity mortgage-backed securities totaling $365.1 million, two corporate debt securities totaling $14.8 million, and seven collateralized loan obligations totaling $48.9 million. Of the 30 securities, 17 had been in a continuous unrealized loss position for over 12 months as of December 31, 2019.
The securities with an unrealized loss position have fluctuated in value since their purchase dates as market interest rates have fluctuated. The Company does not currently intend to sell these securities, and it is not more likely than not that the Company will be required to sell the securities before recovery of the amortized cost basis. Based upon our evaluation of the securities, we do not believe the decline in fair value was driven by credit related factors, and we expect that the fair value will recover prior to maturity. Therefore, no allowance for credit losses or other-than-temporary impairment was recognized as of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively.
The scheduled maturities of investment securities as of March 31, 2020 are presented in the table below:

Actual maturities of mortgage-backed securities can differ from contractual maturities due to borrowers’ rights to prepay loans. Prepayments and interest rates can affect the yields on the carrying value of mortgage-backed securities.
During the three months ended March 31, 2020, there were neither any purchases nor sales of investment securities.
During the three months ended March 31, 2019, the Company purchased three government-sponsored mortgage-backed securities totaling $44.8 million, one corporate debt security totaling $20.0 million, and one collateralized loan obligation totaling $6.0 million. During the three months ended March 31, 2019, the Company sold one corporate debt security for which it received proceeds of $19.9 million and recognized a gain of $113,000.
There were no securities pledged to secure Federal Home Loan Bank (“FHLB”) advances as of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019.

Included in consumer and other loans above are overdraft deposit accounts that were reclassified to loans totaling $14,000 and $38,000 as of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively. The loan carrying values above included unamortized deferred loan origination costs, net of unamortized deferred loan origination fees, of $27.3 million and $25.9 million as of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively. Accrued interest receivable on loans totaled $20.5 million and $19.9 million as of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively, and was reported in accrued interest receivable on our consolidated balance sheets.
As discussed in Note 2, “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies,” the Company adopted ASU 2016-13 Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments on January 1, 2020, which replaced the incurred loss methodology with an expected loss methodology, CECL. The Company adopted ASC 326 using the modified retrospective method for all financial assets measured at amortized cost and off-balance sheet credit exposures. Results for reporting periods beginning after January 1, 2020 are presented in accordance with ASC 326, while prior periods continue to be presented in accordance with previously applicable GAAP standards.
As of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the loan portfolio included acquired loans reported at carrying value of $106.8 million and $109.8 million, respectively, net of unamortized fair value discount of $1.4 million and $1.7 million, respectively. Acquired loans that were deemed purchase credit deteriorated (“PCD”) subsequent to the adoption of ASC 326 had a carrying value of $65.4 million and an outstanding balance of $67.0 million as of March 31, 2020. The Company did not reassess classification of acquired impaired assets, and all such assets were classified as PCD upon adoption of ASC 326. Acquired impaired loans as of December 31, 2019 had a carrying value of $65.7 million and an outstanding balance of $67.6 million.

The accrual of interest income on loans is discontinued when the full collection of principal and interest is in doubt. When a loan is placed on nonaccrual, previously accrued but unpaid interest is reversed and charged against interest income, and future accruals of interest are discontinued. Payments received from borrowers for loans on nonaccrual are applied to the unpaid principal balance. A loan is returned to accrual status when, in management’s judgement, the borrower’s ability to satisfy principal and interest obligations under the loan agreement has improved sufficiently to reasonably assure recovery of principal and the borrower has demonstrated a sustained period of repayment performance. In general, the Company requires a minimum of six consecutive months of timely payments in accordance with the contractual terms prior to returning a loan to accrual status.
Of the $5.8 million and $6.0 million of loans reported as nonaccrual as of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively, $3.2 million and $3.2 million, respectively, were current.
Loans reported as nonaccrual as of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019 contributed $14,000 and $25,000 of interest income during the three months ended March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively.

(b) Troubled Debt Restructurings (“TDRs”)
The adoption of ASC 326 impacts the timing of recognition for TDRs, advancing the recognition to when a TDR is reasonably expected, which may result in recognition before the concessions have been granted.
As of both March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, there were no loans reported as TDRs. There was no allowance for loan loss recorded for any loans modified as TDRs for the periods presented.
There were no loans modified as TDRs during the three months ended March 31, 2020 and March 31, 2019.
There were no TDR loans with payment defaults during the three months ended March 31, 2020. There was one commercial business loan with a payment default during the three months ended March 31, 2019 that was modified as a TDR in the previous 12 months, and had a recorded investment of $3.7 million as of March 31, 2019.
(c) Credit Quality Monitoring
As part of the Company’s credit policies, the Company monitors contractual payments and performs annual or more frequent reviews of multifamily, commercial real estate, construction, and commercial business loans. Commercial business loans are more typically reviewed on a quarterly basis. As part of the annual review of borrowers, financial statements of the property and/or borrowing entity are reviewed, including occupancy levels, revenue, and expenses to determine any variation from expected performance or deterioration in the underlying credit risk of the loan. The risk rating assigned to each loan is adjusted based on the updated information. The Company actively monitors loans that management believes indicate increased potential credit risk. Each acquired loan portfolio is reviewed within a short period of time following its acquisition to determine whether the loan portfolio classification is consistent with the Company’s internal risk rating standards.
The Company’s internal loan risk ratings apply to all loans and are as follows:
Pass – Loans are performing substantially as agreed with no current identified weakness in the borrower’s ability to repay.
Special Mention – Loans have a potential weakness and deserve management’s attention. If left uncorrected, the potential weakness could result in additional deterioration of the borrower’s ability to repay. These loans have not experienced credit deterioration to the point that exposes the Company to a level of risk to warrant adverse classification.
Substandard – Loans are inadequately protected by the current net worth and paying capacity of the obligor or of the collateral pledged, if any. These loans have a well-defined weakness or weaknesses that jeopardize the timely liquidation of the loan.
Doubtful – Loans have weaknesses that make repayment in full from collection or liquidation highly improbable. The possibility of some loss is highly likely but certain factors are outstanding, which impact the quantification of loss that is deferring downgrade to a risk rating of “loss.”
Loss – Loans are considered uncollectible and of such little value that their continuance as assets without establishment of a specific reserve or charge off is not warranted.
Loans assigned an internal risk rating of “substandard” or worse are considered classified loans. Loans assigned an internal risk rating of “special mention” or worse are considered criticized loans.
Classified loans and other portions of the portfolio specifically identified by management are reviewed at least quarterly. This includes evaluating market conditions, collateral conditions, and borrower or guarantor financial status to determine the appropriateness of the risk rating, accrual/nonaccrual status designations, and pooled/non-pooled designations under ASC 326. The Company’s Credit Review Department also performs a review of loans throughout the year, including classified loans, based upon scoping criteria that considers various credit risk-related factors. The results of the loan reviews are presented on a quarterly basis to the Credit Risk Management Committee (“CRMC”), as well as the Risk Oversight Committee of the Board of Directors. The CRMC is made up of members of senior management involved in various credit risk-related activities and is responsible for the authorization and evaluation of credit policies, lending authorities, credit risk reporting, reporting from the special credits group, and lending concentrations to facilitate an appropriate level of oversight and management of credit risk related processes.
The Company evaluates whether a modification, extension, or renewal of a loan is a current period origination in accordance with GAAP. Renewals that are subject to a full credit evaluation are considered current year originations for purposes of the table below. The following table presents the loan portfolio by vintage and risk rating as of March 31, 2020, in conformance with the adoption of ASC 326.

(d) Allowance for Credit Losses (ASC 326)
The Company adopted ASC 326, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses, on January 1, 2020, as prescribed in ASC 326-10-65, Transition and Open Effective Date Information. The adoption impact of ASC 326 was based upon our ACL methodology, as discussed in the Company’s significant accounting policies in Note 2, “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies,” and was recorded using the cumulative-effect adjustment to the Company’s beginning retained earnings as of January 1, 2020. This resulted in an adjustment to the allowance for credit losses on loans of $2.4 million and a $1.4 million increase in our allowance for credit losses on unfunded loan commitments. Collectively, our allowance for credit losses on loans and unfunded loan commitments increased by $3.8 million as of January 1, 2020.

The Company’s allowance for credit losses as of March 31, 2020 increased $10.6 million, or 25.9%, to $51.4 million as of March 31, 2020 from $40.8 million as of December 31, 2019. In addition to the $2.4 million adoption impact, the Company calculated its CECL estimate as of March 31, 2020, which resulted in an $8.2 million increase to the allowance for credit losses on loans. The increase in allowance was primarily attributed to the following factors and resulted in a $7.6 million provision for credit losses:
• | Changes to the reasonable and supportable forecast: our forecast assumed the adverse effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, including GDP contraction in 2020 and a sustained increase in unemployment rates. Additionally, the economic forecast reflected the changes to fiscal and monetary policy related to the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (the “CARES Act”), including the over $2 trillion stimulus package, the Federal Reserve’s near-zero policy rate, and the forecasted expansion of their balance sheet. |
• | Changes to qualitative environmental factors: our allowance for credit losses includes a qualitative component to consider credit risks that are otherwise not captured in the other areas of our ACL methodology, including the Company’s historical loss rates or reasonable and supportable forecast. While the trends in our asset quality were stable through March 31, 2020, we believed that we were exposed to heightened risks specifically from increased requests for loan modifications as part of the CARES Act and economic volatility more generally. |
As of March 31, 2020, the Company’s allowance for credit losses on loans was comprised of $51.4 million allocated to pooled loans, and we had no recorded allowance on non-pooled loans. Additionally, there was no recorded allowance for credit losses on loans reported as non accrual as the fair value of these loans exceeded the collateral value as of March 31, 2020.
24
When individual loan relationships no longer share common credit risk characteristics of the established loan pools, the Company removes them from the loan pools and evaluates them on an individual (non-pooled) basis. This typically occurs when borrowers have experienced financial difficulty, including, but not limited to, delinquent loan payments, TDRs, non-accrual status, bankruptcy, delinquent taxes, and previous charge offs. Such individually identified loan relationships are evaluated to determine whether they are collateral dependent, by considering whether repayment is expected to be provided substantially through the operation or sale of the underlying collateral. The following table presents the amortized cost basis of collateral-dependent loans by class of loan and collateral type as of March 31, 2020.

In addition to the allowance for credit losses on loans, the Company recorded a provision for unfunded loan commitments of $1.2 million during the three months ended March 31, 2020. The Company’s allowance for credit losses on unfunded loan commitments totaled $3.6 million as of March 31, 2020. The allowance for credit losses for unfunded loan commitments was recorded to other liabilities and the corresponding provision for unfunded loan commitments was recorded to other non-interest expense.
(e) Allowance for Loan Losses (Prior GAAP)
The allowance for loan losses reflects the Company’s estimate of probable losses inherent within the loan portfolio. The allowance is estimated based upon an established methodology described in the Company's significant accounting policies in the 2019 Consolidated Financial Statements – Note 2, “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies.”
Loans are evaluated under the Company’s allowance for loan losses methodology, including the individual evaluation of loans deemed to be impaired. As of December 31, 2019, there were $5.5 million of loans individually evaluated for impairment with no recorded allowance. The allowance for loan losses for loans collectively evaluated for impairment as of December 31, 2019 totaled $40.8 million.
The Company recorded a provision for loan losses expense of $2.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019.

The Company evaluates reserves on unfunded commitments on a quarterly basis. The Company applies a probability of funding to the unfunded commitment amount for each portfolio and a loss factor calculated for each loan portfolio under the Company’s allowance for loan losses methodology. The reserve for unfunded commitments is recorded in other liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets. The reserve for unfunded commitments as of December 31, 2019 totaled $1.0 million.

Goodwill represents the excess of purchase price over the fair value of net assets acquired by the Company. Other intangible assets consist of core deposit intangibles and intangible assets acquired from PENSCO that are amortized through earnings over the estimated economic lives.
On at least an annual basis, the Company evaluates goodwill and other intangible assets for potential impairment, taking into consideration trends in economic conditions, financial performance, business combinations, and industry-specific market factors. Given the recent volatility in the economy triggered by the COVID-19 pandemic, we believed it was prudent to perform an evaluation of goodwill for potential impairment during the quarter ended March 31, 2020. The methods used in the evaluation of goodwill included a combination of (1) income-based valuation derived from the present value of forecasted earnings, (2) terms of transaction consideration relating to the Company’s announced merger with Pacific Premier Bancorp, Inc., discussed further in Note 15, “Subsequent Events,” and (3) financial metrics relating to comparable business combination transactions. Based upon the results of this analysis, an impairment charge of $96.2 million was recognized during the first quarter of 2020, driven predominantly by the negative impact of COVID-19 on stock market valuations and the price of our common stock, which adversely impacted the valuation of goodwill as of March 31, 2020.
(7) | Other Investments |
(a) | FHLB Stock |
FHLBs are cooperatives that provide member banks with various products and significant liquidity to the banking system through advances in exchange for collateral. The FHLBs are regulated by the Federal Housing Finance Agency. The Company holds stock issued by the FHLB of San Francisco in connection with the outstanding FHLB advances. The Company’s investment in stock issued by the FHLB of San Francisco totaled $17.3 million as of both March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019.
Ownership of FHLB stock is restricted to member banks and the stock does not have a readily determinable market value. FHLB stock is recorded at cost and is evaluated for impairment. The Company completed an assessment of its stock ownership with the FHLB of San Francisco as of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, and did not consider its FHLB stock to be impaired at such dates.
(b) | Affordable Housing Investments |
The Company invests in affordable housing investments that qualify for the low income housing tax credit investments (“LIHTC”) program. The Company receives tax credits against federal income taxes in exchange for its investments in these funds. These investments are reported under the proportional amortization method. The underlying investments are reported in other assets and the remaining unfunded commitments are accrued for in other liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets. The amortization on the underlying investments is reported through income tax expense along with the tax credits and tax benefits generated from the operating losses in the consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income.
The following table presents the Company’s original investment in the LIHTC projects, the current recorded investment balance, and the unfunded liability balance as of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019:
($ in thousands) | Original
Investment Value | Current Recorded Investment | Unfunded Liability Obligation | |||||||||

(8) | Leases |
The Company’s leases are generally operating leases for properties where Opus Bank is the lessee, and include facilities occupied by its banking offices, headquarters, and other various operations. On January 1, 2019, the Company adopted ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842), and all subsequent ASUs that modified Topic 842, which resulted in the recognition of a right-of-use asset and lease liability on the consolidated balance sheet. As of March 31, 2020, the Company’s right-of-use asset for operating leases was $31.3 million and was recorded in other assets on the consolidated balance sheet with a related lease liability of $37.0 million that was recorded in other liabilities on the consolidated balance sheet.

(9) | Income Taxes |
The Company recognized income tax expense of $3.2 million and $3.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively. The effective tax rate of (4.0)% for the three months ended March 31, 2020 differed from the federal statutory rate of 21% principally due to non-deductible goodwill impairment and state income taxes, partially offset by tax-exempt earnings and income from bank-owned life insurance. The effective tax rate of 24.0% for the three months ended March 31, 2019 differed from the federal statutory rate of 21% as a result of state income taxes and disallowed executive compensation, partially offset by tax credits, tax-exempt earnings, and income from bank-owned life insurance.
The Company concluded there were no uncertain tax positions and did not record a liability for uncertain tax positions as of March 31, 2020 or December 31, 2019.

(a) FHLB Advances
The Company had five fixed-rate advances outstanding as of March 31, 2020 with maturity dates ranging from June 2020 through March 2021 and one fixed-rate advance outstanding as of December 31, 2019 with a maturity date in March 2021. The Company may elect to prepay the advances prior to their maturity date for a prepayment penalty based on current market interest rates. The Company’s available borrowing capacity as of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019 was $2.1 billion and $2.7 billion, respectively.
(b) Subordinated Debt
On June 29, 2016, the Company issued $135.0 million of fixed to variable rate subordinated notes due July 1, 2026. The Company received $132.3 million after deducting discounts and issuance costs. The subordinated notes are unsecured obligations subordinated in right of payment to all of the Company’s existing and future senior indebtedness, whether secured or unsecured, including claims of depositors and general creditors and will rank equally in right of payment with any unsecured, subordinated indebtedness that the Company may incur in the future that ranks equally with the subordinated notes. The notes accrue interest at a fixed rate of 5.5% for the first five years until June 2021. After this date and for the remaining five years of the notes’ term, interest will accrue at a variable rate of three-month LIBOR plus 4.285%. The Company may redeem the subordinated notes, in whole or in part, on or after July 1, 2021. The balance of the notes as of March 31, 2020 was $133.3 million, which reflected deferred issuance costs and discounts of $1.7 million that will be amortized over the remaining life of the notes.

(11) | Earnings (Loss) per Common Share |
Basic earnings per common share (“EPS”) represents the amount of earnings for the period available to each share of common stock outstanding during each reporting period. Basic EPS is computed based upon net income (loss) available to common shareholders divided by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. The shares of Series A Preferred Stock are considered participating securities for this calculation because they share in any dividends paid to common shareholders.
Diluted EPS represents the amount of earnings (loss) for the period available to each share of common stock outstanding, including common stock that would have been outstanding assuming the issuance of common shares for all dilutive potential common shares outstanding during each reporting period. Diluted EPS is computed based upon net income (loss) available to common shareholders divided by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during each period, adjusted for the effect of dilutive potential common shares calculated using the treasury stock method and the assumed conversion for any dilutive convertible participating securities using the if-converted method.
The computation of basic and diluted EPS is presented in the following table:

Diluted earnings (loss) per common share | $ | (2.34 | ) | $ | 0.28 |
(1) Earnings allocated to common shareholders for basic and diluted EPS differs due to convertible participating securities (Series A Preferred Stock) that are included in the computation of basic EPS using the two-class method as compared to the if-converted method for diluted EPS. Additionally, dividends on the Series A Preferred Stock are added back to net income attributable to common shareholders for purposes of diluted EPS because the Series A Preferred Stock are convertible to common stock.
32
The Company does not assume conversion, exercise, or contingent issuance of any common or preferred stock that has an anti-dilutive effect. For the three months ended March 31, 2020, there were no securities that had an anti-dilutive effect to the computation of diluted EPS, as the Company recorded a net loss. For the three months ended March 31, 2019, there were 51,000 weighted average shares of common stock subject to stock options that were excluded from the computation of diluted EPS because they had an anti-dilutive effect.
(12) | Share-Based Compensation Plans |
The compensation expense recognized on all share-based awards was $1.5 million and $1.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and March 31, 2019, respectively. As of March 31, 2020, there was $8.6 million of unrecognized compensation expense related to all unvested restricted stock that is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 1.79 years.
(a) Plan Descriptions
As of March 31, 2020, there were 668,000 shares of common stock available for award grants of the total authorized under the Company’s Long Term Incentive Plans.
2010 Incentive Plan
The Opus Bank 2010 Long-Term Incentive Plan as amended, (“2010 Incentive Plan”) was approved by the Board of Directors of the Company on September 30, 2010. Amendments as of November 2010, October 2011, and March 2014 were approved to increase the authorized number of shares of common stock available for issuance to a total of 3.3 million. The 2010 Incentive Plan permits the grant of stock options and restricted stock to the Company’s eligible employees and nonemployee directors. Upon exercise of stock options, treasury shares are reissued or new shares are issued.
2018 Incentive Plan
The Opus Bank 2018 Long-Term Incentive Plan, (“2018 Incentive Plan”) was approved by the Board of Directors of the Company on March 9, 2018 and was subsequently approved by the Company's shareholders at the Company’s 2018 Annual Meeting on April 26, 2018. The 2018 Incentive Plan permits the grant of stock options and restricted stock to the Company’s officers, employees, nonemployee directors, and individuals performing services for the Company. A total of 1.1 million shares of common stock are authorized for issuance under the 2018 Incentive Plan. All restricted stock granted under the 2018 Incentive Plan is entitled to dividend equivalent rights which are subject to the same vesting terms and conditions as the corresponding unvested restricted stock.
(b) Stock Options
All stock option awards were granted prior to the completion of the Company’s initial public offering on April 22, 2014. The fair value of each stock option award was estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option valuation methodology that utilized certain assumptions. Expected volatility was based on the historical volatility of a comparable peer group over a six-year look-back period comparable to the expected term of the awards. The Company utilized the “plain vanilla” method from ASC 718-10, Compensation-Stock-Compensation, to estimate the expected term due to lack of actual exercise activity. This method utilized the vesting schedule and contractual terms to determine an expected life for the awards. The risk-free rate was based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of the grant for the contractual life of the award.

There were no changes to unvested stock options for the three months ended March 31, 2020, as all granted stock options have fully vested.
(c) Restricted Stock
Restricted stock includes restricted stock awards and restricted stock units that generally vest over periods ranging from one to three years. Restricted stock with only service-based conditions (“Service-Based Awards”) are valued at the fair value of common stock on the grant date. Restricted stock units with performance-based and time-based requirements (“Performance-Based Units”) vest over one to three years from the date of grant, provided that certain performance and time-based criteria are met. The Company records the Performance-Based Units at the estimated fair value on the grant date, and recognizes the amount over the vesting period.

(13) | Loan Sale and Securitization Activities |
The Company may periodically sell loans as part of its business operations and overall management of liquidity, assets and liabilities, and financial performance. The transfer of loans is executed in securitization or sale transactions. With respect to sale transactions, the Company’s continuing involvement may or may not include ongoing servicing responsibilities and general representations and warranties. With respect to securitization sales, the Company executed its first transaction on December 23, 2016 with the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (“Freddie Mac”). The transaction involved the sale of $509 million in originated multifamily loans through a Freddie Mac-sponsored transaction. One class of Freddie Mac guaranteed structured pass-through certificates was issued and purchased entirely by the Company. The Company's continuing involvement includes sub-servicing responsibilities, general representations and warranties, and reimbursement obligations.
34
Servicing responsibilities on loan sales generally include obligations to collect and remit payments of principal and interest, provide foreclosure services, manage payments of taxes and insurance premiums, and otherwise administer the underlying loans. In connection with the securitization transaction, Freddie Mac was designated as the master servicer and appointed the Company to perform sub-servicing responsibilities, which generally include the servicing responsibilities described above with the exception of the servicing of foreclosed or defaulted loans. The overall management, servicing, and resolution of defaulted loans and foreclosed loans are separately designated to the special servicer, a third-party institution that is independent of the master servicer and the Company. The master servicer has the right to terminate the Company in its role as sub-servicer and direct such responsibilities accordingly.
General representations and warranties associated with loan sales and securitization sales require the Company to uphold various assertions that pertain to the underlying loans at the time of the transaction, including, but not limited to, compliance with relevant laws and regulations, absence of fraud, enforcement of liens, no environmental damages, and maintenance of relevant environmental insurance. Such representations and warranties are limited to those that do not meet the quality represented at the transaction date and do not pertain to a decline in value or future payment defaults. In circumstances where the Company breaches its representations and warranties, the Company would generally be required to cure such instances through a repurchase or substitution of the subject loan(s).
With respect to the securitization transaction, the Company also has continuing involvement through a reimbursement agreement executed with Freddie Mac. To the extent the ultimate resolution of defaulted loans results in contractual principal and interest payments that are deficient, the Company is obligated to reimburse Freddie Mac for such amounts, not to exceed 10% of the original principal amount of the loans comprising the securitization pool at the closing date of December 23, 2016. The Company recognized a liability of $320,000 and $207,000 as of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively, for its exposure to the reimbursement agreement with Freddie Mac.

The Company did not sell any loans during the three months ended March 31, 2020. The Company sold $10.1 million of originated loans during the three months ended March 31, 2019, which resulted in a $111,000 loss.

For loans transferred through sales and securitization, the Company may experience a loss if there is a breach of the general representations and warranties and the Company is required to repurchase or substitute the subject loans.
(14) | VIEs |
The Company is involved with VIEs through its loan securitization activities and LIHTC investments. As of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the Company determined it was not the primary beneficiary of the VIEs and did not consolidate its interests in VIEs. The following table provides a summary of the carrying amount of assets and liabilities in the Company’s consolidated balance sheet and maximum loss exposures as of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019 that relate to variable interests in non-consolidated VIEs.

Multifamily loan securitization
With respect to the securitization transaction with Freddie Mac discussed above in Note 13, “Loan Sale and Securitization Activities,” our variable interests reside with our purchase of the underlying Freddie Mac-issued guaranteed, structured pass-through certificates that were held as investment securities, available-for-sale, at fair value as of March 31, 2020. Additionally, the Company has variable interests through a reimbursement agreement executed by Freddie Mac that obligates the Company to reimburse Freddie Mac for any defaulted contractual principal and interest payments identified after the ultimate resolution of the defaulted loans. Such reimbursement obligations are not to exceed 10% of the original principal amount of the loans comprising the securitization pool. As part of the securitization transaction, the Company released all servicing obligations and rights to Freddie Mac who was designated as the Master Servicer. As Master Servicer, Freddie Mac appointed Opus Bank with sub-servicing obligations, which include obligations to collect and remit payments of principal and interest, manage payments of taxes and insurance, and otherwise administer the underlying loans. The servicing of defaulted loans and foreclosed loans was assigned to a separate third party entity, independent of Opus Bank and Freddie Mac. Freddie Mac, in its capacity as Master Servicer, can terminate the Company’s role as sub-servicer and direct such responsibilities accordingly. In evaluating our variable interests and continuing involvement in the VIE, we determined that we do not have the power to make significant decisions or direct the activities that most significantly impact the economic performance of the VIE’s assets and liabilities. As sub-servicer of the loans, the Company does not have the authority to make significant decisions that influence the value of the VIE’s net assets and, therefore, the Company is not the primary beneficiary of the VIE. As a result, we determined that the VIE associated with the multifamily securitization should not be included in the consolidated financial statements of the Company.
We believe that our maximum exposure to loss as a result of our involvement with the VIE associated with the securitization is the carrying value of the investment securities issued by Freddie Mac and purchased by the Company. Additionally, our maximum exposure to loss under the reimbursement agreement executed with Freddie Mac is 10% of the original principal amount of the loans comprising the securitization pool, or $50.9 million. Based upon our analysis of quantitative and qualitative data over the underlying loans included in the securitization pool, as of March 31, 2020, our reserve for estimated losses with respect to the reimbursement obligation was $320,000.
LIHTC investments
The Company has variable interests through its LIHTC investments. These investments are fundamentally designed to provide a return through the generation of income tax credits. The Company has evaluated its involvement with the low-income housing projects and determined it does not have significant influence or decision making capabilities to manage the projects, and therefore, is not the primary beneficiary, and does not consolidate these interests.
The Company’s maximum exposure to loss, exclusive of any potential realization of tax credits, is equal to the commitments invested, adjusted for amortization. The amount of unfunded commitments was included in the investments recognized as assets with a corresponding liability. The table above summarizes the amount of tax credit investments held as assets, the amount of unfunded commitments held as liabilities, and the maximum exposure to loss as of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively.
(15) | Subsequent Events |
On January 31, 2020, the Company entered into an agreement and plan of reorganization (“Merger Agreement”) with Pacific Premier Bancorp, Inc. (“PPBI”) and Pacific Premier Bank (“Pacific Premier”) pursuant to which the Company will be merged with and into Pacific Premier, with Pacific Premier as the surviving institution in the merger (the “Merger”). Upon the closing of the Merger, each share of our common stock will be exchanged for 0.9000 shares of PPBI common stock. The corporate headquarters of the surviving bank will be located in Irvine, California. The name of the surviving bank will be Pacific Premier Bank. On April 3, 2020, the Company and PPBI announced that they had received approval from both the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System and the California Department of Business Oversight for the Company to be merged with and into Pacific Premier, and for Pacific Premier to exercise trust powers. In addition, at meetings of shareholders of each of the Company and PPBI held on May 5, 2020, shareholders of the Company and shareholders of PPBI approved the Merger and the issuance of shares of PPBI’s common stock pursuant to the Merger, respectively. The Merger is expected to close on or about June 1, 2020, subject to the satisfaction of certain customary closing conditions. For more information on the Merger Agreement and the Merger, refer to the final joint proxy statement/prospectus (including the section entitled “Risk Factors” therein for a discussion of certain risks related to the Merger) filed with the FDIC on April 7, 2020 and mailed to our shareholders on or about April 7, 2020, and any amendments thereto, as well as Note 27, “Subsequent Events,” in “Item 15. Financial Statements” and Item 1A, “Risk Factors-Risks related to the Merger,” in our 2019 Form 10-K.
