FCB Bancorp (“FCB”) has approved a one-time cash award of $15,000 to Tenisha Fitzgerald in recognition of her years of service and dedication as a director of FCB. Ms. Fitzgerald will cease to be a director of FCB upon the consummation of the mergers of National Mercantile Bancorp (“NMB”), and FCB with and into First California Financial Group, Inc.

Pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”), dated as of June 15, 2006, by and among NMB, FCB and First California, NMB has authorized both the payment of the cash award and the acceleration of vesting of all options held by Ms. Fitzgerald.
