PRELIMINARY—SUBJECT TO COMPLETION—DATED APRIL 30, 2012

PROPOSED MERGER—YOUR VOTE IS VERY IMPORTANT

To Our Shareholders:

The boards of directors of Manhattan Bancorp and Professional Business Bank have approved an agreement and plan of merger and reorganization pursuant to which Professional Business Bank will merge with and into Bank of Manhattan, N.A., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Manhattan Bancorp. The merger agreement also contemplates that prior to the merger of Professional Business Bank and Bank of Manhattan, CGB Holdings, Inc., holder of approximately 90% of the issued and outstanding common stock of Professional Business Bank, will merge with and into Professional Business Bank. Carpenter Community BancFund, L.P., Carpenter Community BancFund-A, L.P. and Carpenter Community BancFund-CA, L.P., referred to as the Funds, collectively own 100% of the issued and outstanding common stock of CGB Holdings and approximately 43% of the issued and outstanding common stock of Manhattan Bancorp. Before we can complete the mergers, we must obtain the approval of the shareholders of Manhattan Bancorp and Professional Business Bank. We are sending you this document to ask for your vote to approve the merger agreement, including the terms of the mergers, at the shareholder meetings of Manhattan Bancorp and Professional Business Bank, which will be held on May 25, 2012 and May 23, 2012, respectively. The shareholders of CGB Holdings have unanimously approved the merger agreement by written consent.

If the merger between CGB Holdings and Professional Business Bank is completed, each outstanding share of CGB Holdings common stock will be converted into the right to receive one share of Professional Business Bank common stock. CGB Holdings has agreed to take action prior to the effective time of the merger to reconstitute the number of outstanding shares of CGB Holdings common stock to equal the number of outstanding shares of Professional Business Bank common stock owned by CGB Holdings. As a result, the Funds will own, in the aggregate, the same number of shares of Professional Business Bank common stock after the merger as are owned by CGB Holdings prior to the merger.

If the merger between Professional Business Bank and Bank of Manhattan is completed, each outstanding share of Professional Business Bank common stock will be converted into the right to receive a number of shares of Manhattan Bancorp common stock having an aggregate book value per share as of the last day of the month preceding the month in which the closing of the merger occurs, equal to the book value per share of Professional Business Bank common stock as of the same date, in each case subject to adjustment and calculated in accordance with the merger agreement. The book value per share of the common stock of Manhattan Bancorp and Professional Business Bank will fluctuate from the date of this document to the date of completion of the mergers. Therefore, you will not know the exact number of shares of Manhattan Bancorp common stock to be issued to shareholders of Professional Business Bank in the merger when you vote on the merger agreement.

The book value per share of common stock of Manhattan Bancorp and Professional Business Bank was $4.35 and $7.76, respectively, at March 31, 2012. As a result, if the merger had closed in April 2012, each outstanding share of Professional Business Bank common stock would have been converted into the right to receive 1.7839 shares of Manhattan Bancorp common stock. Based on the closing price of Manhattan Bancorp common stock of $2.15 per share on November 21, 2011, the day prior to the public announcement of the merger, 1.7839 shares of Manhattan Bancorp common stock would represent a value of $3.84 per share of Professional Business Bank common stock. Using the closing price of Manhattan Bancorp common stock on April 26, 2012, of $3.07 per share, 1.7839 shares of Manhattan Bancorp common stock would represent a value of $5.48 per share of Professional Business Bank common stock. Based on the number of shares of Professional Business Bank common stock outstanding or reserved for issuance under outstanding stock options, if each share of Professional

Table of Contents

Business Bank common stock is converted into 1.7839 shares of Manhattan Bancorp common stock, we expect that up to approximately 8,427,891 shares of Manhattan Bancorp common stock will become issuable to Professional Business Bank shareholders and holders of such options as a result of the merger. Using the closing price of Manhattan Bancorp common stock on April 26, 2012, 8,427,891 shares of Manhattan Bancorp common stock would represent an aggregate value of $25,873,625.

Based on the book value per share of common stock of Manhattan Bancorp and Professional Business Bank at March 31, 2012, if the mergers had closed in April 2012, the Funds would have collectively owned approximately 74.4% of the issued and outstanding common stock of Manhattan Bancorp after the mergers, while the shareholders of Manhattan Bancorp (excluding the Funds) and the shareholders of Professional Business Bank (excluding the Funds) would have collectively owned approximately 18.6% and 7.0%, respectively.

We expect that the executive officers and directors of Manhattan Bancorp, which collectively own approximately 6.4% of the issued and outstanding common stock of Manhattan Bancorp, and the executive officers and directors of Professional Business Bank, which collectively own approximately 3.5% of the issued and outstanding common stock of Professional Business Bank, will vote in favor of the merger agreement, although none of them has entered into any agreement obligating them to do so. We also expect that the Funds, which collectively own approximately 43% of the issued and outstanding common stock of Manhattan Bancorp, and CGB Holdings, which owns approximately 90% of the issued and outstanding common stock of Professional Business Bank, will vote in favor of the merger agreement. The general partner of the Funds and CGB Holdings, as parties to the merger agreement, have agreed to use their respective reasonable best efforts in good faith to take all actions necessary for the consummation of the mergers. Accordingly, we expect that the Funds and CGB Holdings will each vote their shares to approve the merger agreement. We therefore believe that an affirmative vote in favor of the merger agreement by the Professional Business Bank shareholders is assured, and by the Manhattan Bancorp shareholders is very likely.

Manhattan Bancorp common stock is traded on the over-the-counter market under the symbol "MNHN." There is currently no trading market for the common stock of Professional Business Bank. The common stock of CGB Holdings is privately held.

The accompanying disclosure document describes the shareholder meetings, the mergers and the related merger agreement, and includes other important information about the proposals that will be presented for action at the shareholder meetings. Please read the entire document carefully, including the section entitled "Risk Factors" beginning on page 14.

Neither the Securities and Exchange Commission nor any state securities commission has approved or disapproved of the securities to be issued in the mergers or passed upon the adequacy or accuracy of the disclosure in this document. Any representation to the contrary is a criminal offense.

•: adjournment of the meeting, if necessary or appropriate in the judgment of the board of directors, to solicit additional proxies or votes in favor of the approval of the merger agreement;
•: election of directors;
•: ratification of the appointment of McGladrey & Pullen, LLP as Manhattan Bancorp's independent registered public accounting firm for 2012; and
•: any other matters that may be properly presented at the meeting.

You may vote at the Manhattan Bancorp annual if you owned shares of Manhattan Bancorp common stock at the close of business on April 27, 2012. On that date, 3,997,631 shares of Manhattan Bancorp common stock were outstanding, approximately 6.4% of which were owned and entitled to be voted by Manhattan Bancorp's directors and executive officers and their affiliates and approximately 43% of which were owned and entitled to be voted by the Funds. We currently expect that Manhattan Bancorp's directors and executive officers will vote their shares in favor of the merger agreement, although none of them has entered into any agreement obligating them to do so. Fund Manager, as a party to the merger agreement, has agreed to use its reasonable best efforts in good faith to take all actions necessary for the consummation of the mergers. Accordingly, we currently expect that the Funds will each vote their shares to approve the merger agreement, and therefore we believe that an affirmative vote in favor of the merger agreement is very likely.

Table of Contents

The affirmative vote of a majority of the shares of Manhattan Bancorp common stock outstanding on the record date will be required to approve the merger agreement. The affirmative vote of a majority of the shares of Manhattan Bancorp common stock represented at the Manhattan Bancorp annual meeting and entitled to vote will be required to (i) approve the proposal to grant discretionary authority to adjourn the annual meeting, if necessary, to permit further solicitation of proxies and (ii) ratify McGladrey & Pullen, LLP as independent public accountants. In the election of directors, the ten (10) director nominees receiving the most number of votes will be elected. See "Manhattan Bancorp Annual Meeting" beginning on page 29 for information regarding voting at the Manhattan Bancorp annual meeting.

Professional Business Bank Special Meeting (see page 33)

The Professional Business Bank special meeting will be held at 2700 E. Foothill Boulevard, Suite 100, Pasadena, California 91107, on May 23, 2012, starting at 4:00 p.m. Los Angeles time. At the Professional Business Bank special meeting, Professional Business Bank's shareholders will be asked to vote on the following matters:

•: approval of the merger agreement; and
•: adjournment of the meeting, if necessary or appropriate in the judgment of the board of directors, to solicit additional proxies or votes in favor of the approval of the merger agreement.

You may vote at the Professional Business Bank special meeting if you owned shares of Professional Business Bank common stock at the close of business on April 16, 2012. On that date, 4,616,259 shares of Professional Business Bank common stock were outstanding, approximately 3.5% of which were owned and entitled to be voted by Professional Business Bank's directors and executive officers and their affiliates and approximately 90% of which were owned and entitled to be voted by CGB Holdings. We currently expect that Professional Business Bank's directors and executive officers will vote their shares in favor of the merger agreement, although none of them has entered into any agreement obligating them to do so. CGB Holdings, as a party to the merger agreement, has agreed to use its reasonable best efforts in good faith to take all actions necessary for the consummation of the mergers. Accordingly, we currently expect that CGB Holdings will vote its shares to approve the merger agreement and that the merger agreement will therefore be approved.

The affirmative vote of a majority of the shares of Professional Business Bank common stock outstanding on the record date will be required to approve the merger agreement, and the affirmative vote of a majority of the shares of Professional Business Bank common stock represented at the special meeting and entitled to vote will be required to adjourn the meeting. See "Professional Business Bank Special Meeting" beginning on page 33 for additional information regarding voting at the Professional Business Bank special meeting.

THE MERGERS

CGB Holdings Will Merge With and Into Professional Business Bank and Professional Business Bank Will Merge With and Into Bank of Manhattan (see page 36)

Subject to the terms and conditions of the merger agreement described in this joint proxy statement/prospectus, and in accordance with California and federal law, Professional Business Bank will merge with and into Bank of Manhattan, with Bank of Manhattan as the surviving entity for legal purposes. We refer in this joint proxy statement/prospectus to Bank of Manhattan in its capacity as the surviving entity as the "combined bank." Bank of Manhattan's articles of association and bylaws will be the articles of association and bylaws of the combined bank.

Immediately prior to the merger of Bank of Manhattan and Professional Business Bank, CGB Holdings, the holder of approximately 90% of the issued and outstanding common stock of Professional

Table of Contents

Business Bank, will merge with and into Professional Business Bank, with Professional Business Bank as the surviving entity for legal purposes. The articles of incorporation and bylaws of Professional Business Bank will be the articles of incorporation and bylaws of the combined entity following the CGBH merger.

CGB Holdings Shareholders Will Receive Shares of Professional Business Bank Common Stock, and Professional Business Bank Shareholders Will Retain Their Shares, in the CGBH Merger (see page 36)

The merger agreement provides that, at the completion of the CGBH merger, each share of CGB Holdings common stock outstanding immediately before the CGBH merger (other than shares as to which statutory dissenters' appraisal rights have been exercised) will be converted into the right to receive one share of Professional Business Bank common stock. CGB Holdings has agreed to take action prior to the effective time of the CGBH merger to reconstitute the number of outstanding shares of CGB Holdings common stock to equal the number of outstanding shares of Professional Business Bank common stock owned by CGB Holdings. As a result, the Funds, which comprise all the shareholders of CGB Holdings, will own, in the aggregate, the same number of shares of Professional Business Bank common stock after the CGBH merger as are owned by CGB Holdings immediately prior to the CGBH merger.

Professional Business Bank Shareholders Will Receive Shares of Manhattan Bancorp Common Stock, and Manhattan Bancorp Shareholders Will Retain Their Shares, in the Bank Merger (see page 36)

The merger agreement provides that, at the completion of the bank merger, each share of Professional Business Bank common stock outstanding immediately before the bank merger (other than shares as to which statutory dissenters' appraisal rights have been exercised) will be converted into the right to receive a number of shares of Manhattan Bancorp common stock having an aggregate book value per share as of the last day of the month preceding the month in which the closing of the bank merger occurs, equal to the book value per share of Professional Business Bank common stock as of the same date, in each case subject to adjustment and calculated in accordance with the merger agreement. The book value of the common stock of each of Manhattan Bancorp and Professional Business Bank will be calculated in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States ("GAAP"), but without including any expenses incurred by either of such parties in connection with the transactions contemplated by the merger agreement. The book value per share of the common stock of Manhattan Bancorp and Professional Business Bank will fluctuate from the date of this joint proxy statement/prospectus to the date of completion of the bank merger. Therefore, you will not know the exact number of shares of Manhattan Bancorp common stock to be issued to shareholders of Professional Business Bank in the bank merger when you vote on the merger agreement.

The book value per share of common stock of Manhattan Bancorp and Professional Business Bank at March 31, 2012, was $4.35 and $7.76, respectively. As a result, if the merger had closed in April 2012, each outstanding share of Professional Business Bank common stock would have been converted into the right to receive 1.7839 shares of Manhattan Bancorp common stock, which would have resulted in the former shareholders of Professional Business Bank owning approximately 67.3% of the common stock of Manhattan Bancorp after the bank merger. Based on the closing price of Manhattan Bancorp common stock of $2.15 per share on November 21, 2011, the day prior to the public announcement of the merger, 1.7839 shares of Manhattan Bancorp common stock would represent a value of $3.84 per share of Professional Business Bank common stock. Using the closing price of Manhattan Bancorp common stock on April 26, 2012, of $3.07 per share, 1.7839 shares of Manhattan Bancorp common stock would represent a value of $5.48 per share of Professional Business Bank common stock. Based on the number of shares of Professional Business Bank common stock outstanding or reserved for issuance under outstanding stock options, if each share of Professional Business Bank common stock is

Table of Contents

converted into 1.7839 shares of Manhattan Bancorp common stock, we expect that up to approximately 8,427,891 shares of Manhattan Bancorp common stock will become issuable to Professional Business Bank shareholders and holders of such options as a result of the bank merger. Using the closing price of Manhattan Bancorp common stock on April 26, 2012, 8,427,891 shares of Manhattan Bancorp common stock would represent an aggregate value of $25,873,625.

The exchange ratio and other elements of the merger consideration were determined based upon the parties' respective internal valuations of Manhattan Bancorp and Professional Business Bank, and arms' length negotiations between Manhattan Bancorp, Professional Business Bank, CGB Holdings and their respective advisors. In addition, Manhattan Bancorp and Professional Business Bank each retained financial advisors to review and advise regarding the structure and other terms of the proposed mergers, including the determination of the merger consideration. After evaluating the terms of the proposed mergers, financial information regarding Professional Business Bank, Manhattan Bancorp and the proposed mergers and information regarding peer companies and comparable transactions, (i) Sandler O'Neill & Partners, L.P. ("Sandler O'Neill") rendered an oral opinion to the board of directors of Manhattan Bancorp (the "Manhattan Board"), subsequently confirmed in writing, that as of such date, and based upon and subject to stated factors and assumptions, the exchange ratio was fair, from a financial point of view, to the shareholders of Manhattan Bancorp; and (ii) D.A. Davidson & Co. ("Davidson") rendered an oral opinion to the board of directors of Professional Business Bank (the "PBB Board"), subsequently confirmed in writing, that as of such date, and based upon and subject to stated factors and assumptions, the exchange ratio was fair, from a financial point of view, to the shareholders of Professional Business Bank. See "Background of the Mergers" beginning on page 38 for additional information regarding these negotiations and the background of merger relating to the merger consideration.

Interests of Fund Manager, the Funds and Certain Executive Officers and Directors of Manhattan Bancorp and Professional Business Bank in the Mergers (see page 75)

There are inherent conflicts of interests in the mergers, as Fund Manager, the Funds and certain executive officers and directors of Professional Business Bank have interests in the mergers that are different from, or are in addition to, the interests of the shareholders of Manhattan Bancorp and Professional Business Bank generally. These interests include:

•: the Funds (which collectively own approximately 43% of the common stock of Manhattan Bancorp and 100% of the common stock of CGB Holdings, which in turn owns approximately 90% of the common stock of Professional Business Bank) will collectively own a majority of the common stock of Manhattan Bancorp after the bank merger, and thus will exercise substantial control over Manhattan Bancorp and the combined bank;
•: the agreed-upon appointments of directors and members of senior management of Manhattan Bancorp and Professional Business Bank to board positions and senior management positions at Manhattan Bancorp and the combined bank after the mergers that are described in this joint proxy statement/prospectus;
•: rights of Professional Business Bank executive officers and directors to continued indemnification and liability insurance coverage by Manhattan Bancorp after the mergers for acts or omissions occurring prior to the mergers;
•: rights of Professional Business Bank executive officers to certain compensation and benefits after the mergers, resulting in an aggregate payment of approximately $1.2 million;
•: John D. Flemming, a member of the board of directors of Manhattan Bancorp and Bank of Manhattan, also serves as a Managing Member of Fund Manager; and

Table of Contents

•: James B. Jones, Chairman of the Board of Professional Business Bank, also serves as a member of the board of directors of CGB Holdings and as a Managing Member of Fund Manager.

The Funds Will Have a Controlling Interest in Manhattan Bancorp Following the Mergers (see page 37)

The Funds collectively own 100% of the issued and outstanding common stock of CGB Holdings and approximately 43% of the issued and outstanding common stock of Manhattan Bancorp. Based on the book value per share of common stock of Manhattan Bancorp and Professional Business Bank at March 31, 2012, if the mergers had closed in April 2012, the Funds would have collectively owned approximately 74.4% of the issued and outstanding common stock of Manhattan Bancorp after the mergers, while the shareholders of Manhattan Bancorp (excluding the Funds) and the shareholders of Professional Business Bank (excluding the Funds) would have collectively owned approximately 18.6% and 7.0%, respectively.

The mergers therefore will result in substantial dilution of the ownership interest of the current Manhattan Bancorp shareholders, as well as the loss of the controlling interest that they collectively presently hold in Manhattan Bancorp. Additionally, due to the ownership dilution, Manhattan Bancorp shareholders as a group will be able to exercise less influence over the management, operations and policies for Manhattan Bancorp after the mergers than they currently exercise over the management, operations and policies of Manhattan Bancorp. In addition, following the mergers, the Funds will have substantial influence and control over matters voted upon by shareholders of Manhattan Bancorp and will have the ability to approve transactions that may have a significant impact upon the operations of Manhattan Bancorp and the combined bank, such as the election of the directors to the board of directors of each of Manhattan Bancorp and the combined bank, mergers and sales of substantially all the assets of either Manhattan Bancorp or the combined bank, and other matters upon which shareholders of Manhattan Bancorp vote.

Graphic Illustrations of the Mergers

Set forth below are diagrams that graphically illustrate (1) the existing ownership structures of Manhattan Bancorp and Professional Business Bank, (2) the projected ownership structures of Manhattan Bancorp and Professional Business Bank following the CGB merger but prior to the bank merger, and (3) the projected ownership structure of Manhattan Bancorp immediately following the bank merger assuming that the bank merger closed in April 2012.

Existing Ownership Structures

Projected Ownership Structures Following the CGB Merger and Prior to the Bank Merger

Projected Ownership Structure Following the Bank Merger

Mergers Generally Tax-Free to Shareholders (see page 80)

Each of the mergers qualifies as a reorganization for federal income tax purposes. Bingham McCutchen LLP, counsel to Manhattan Bancorp, has rendered an opinion that the material United States federal income tax consequences of the mergers to U.S. holders of Professional Business Bank common stock and CGB Holdings common stock are as described below under the caption "United States Federal Income Tax Consequences of the Mergers." Bingham McCutchen LLP's opinion is subject to customary qualifications and limitations and is based in part on customary factual representations made to Bingham McCutchen LLP by Professional Business Bank, CGB Holdings, Manhattan Bancorp, and Bank of Manhattan. As a result of the mergers' qualification as reorganizations for federal income tax purposes, U.S. holders of CGB Holdings common stock and Professional Business Bank common stock generally will not recognize any gain or loss for federal income tax purposes on the exchange of their CGB Holdings common stock for Professional Business Bank common stock in the CGBH merger, and on the exchange of their Professional Business Bank common stock for Manhattan Bancorp common stock in the bank merger, except for any gain or loss that may result from their receipt of cash in lieu of fractional shares of Manhattan Bancorp common stock otherwise issuable to them in the bank merger.

Accounting Treatment (see page 83)

The mergers will be accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting, with Professional Business Bank being considered the acquirer in both the CGBH merger and the bank merger, based, among other factors, on the percentage ownership of the combined bank being larger for former shareholders of Professional Business Bank than those of Manhattan Bancorp.

Recommendation of the Special Committee and Board of Directors of Manhattan Bancorp (see page 48)

A special committee of the Manhattan Bancorp board of directors (the "Manhattan Special Committee") determined that the merger agreement, the terms thereof and the transactions contemplated thereby, including the bank merger, are advisable and fair to and in the best interests of Manhattan Bancorp and its shareholders, and unanimously recommended that the Manhattan Board approve the merger agreement.

After considering the unanimous recommendation of the Manhattan Special Committee, which is comprised solely of directors who are independent of Fund Manager and the Funds, and the opinion of its financial advisor described in "Manhattan Bancorp and Professional Business Bank Proposal 1: Approval of the Merger Agreement—Opinions of Manhattan Bancorp and Professional Business Bank Financial Advisors—Opinion of Manhattan Bancorp's Financial Advisor," the Manhattan Board (a) approved and declared advisable the merger agreement and the transactions contemplated by the merger agreement, including the bank merger, (b) determined that the merger agreement, the terms of the merger agreement, and the transactions contemplated by the merger agreement, including the bank merger, are fair to and in the best interests of Manhattan Bancorp and its shareholders, and (c) resolved to recommend that the Manhattan Bancorp shareholders approve the merger agreement.

In making their respective recommendations, a number of substantive reasons were considered by the Manhattan Special Committee and Manhattan Board in consultation with their legal and financial advisors, including their belief that the bank merger is an important strategic transaction offering substantial near term and long range benefits and opportunities for Manhattan Bancorp through (i) an expanded presence of Bank of Manhattan through the addition of Professional Business Bank's offices in locations not currently served by Bank of Manhattan, (ii) the increased size of the resulting company to enhance its image in the marketplace and better position the combined bank to acquire other companies as appropriate opportunities arise, (iii) expectations regarding cost synergies and earnings accretion, (iv) creation of opportunities for incremental revenues from, among other things, cross-marketing of banking products and services; and (v) the combined bank's ability to invest more resources in risk management infrastructure. For additional discussion of the material factors considered by the Manhattan Special Committee and Manhattan Board in reaching their conclusions, see "Manhattan Bancorp and Professional Business Bank Proposal 1: Approval of the Merger Agreement—Manhattan Bancorp's Reasons for the Bank Merger; Recommendation of the Manhattan Special Committee and Manhattan Board" beginning on page 48.

The Manhattan Board recommends that you vote "FOR" the proposal to approve the merger agreement and "FOR" the approval of the adjournment of the meeting, if necessary or appropriate in the judgment of the Manhattan Board, to solicit additional proxies or votes in favor of such approval.

Recommendation of the Board of Directors of Professional Business Bank (see page 53)

After considering the opinion of its financial advisor described in "Manhattan Bancorp and Professional Business Bank Proposal 1: Approval of the Merger Agreement—Opinions of Manhattan Bancorp and Professional Business Bank Financial Advisors—Opinion of Professional Business Bank's Financial Advisor," the PBB Board unanimously (a) approved and declared advisable the merger agreement and the transactions contemplated by the merger agreement, including the mergers, (b) determined that the merger agreement, the terms of the merger agreement, and the transactions contemplated by the merger agreement, including the mergers, are fair to and in the best interests of Professional Business Bank and its shareholders, and (c) resolved to recommend that the Professional Business Bank shareholders approve the merger agreement.

In making its recommendation, a number of substantive reasons were considered by the PBB Board in consultation with its legal and financial advisor, including its belief that the bank merger

Table of Contents

would position the combined bank to compete more effectively against its competitors in the changing economic and regulatory environment by, among other things, (i) strengthening the combined bank's presence in its core markets while expanding its footprint into the South Bay markets where Professional Business Bank currently does not have a presence; (ii) creating opportunities to leverage complementary business lines across a larger customer base, while improving customer service as a result of an expanded branch and distribution network and expanded and improved product offerings; (iii) enabling more efficient operations through increased scale and synergies of the combined bank; (iv) enhancing the combined bank's ability to grow organically or through acquisitions; (v) enhancing the ability of the combined bank to access the capital markets, particularly in light of evolving regulatory requirements calling for increased capital; and (vi) improving the combined bank's ability to compete with larger Southern California community banks and other competitors in trade finance relationships and to seek new lending opportunities from small businesses in light of the combined bank's increased lending limit. For additional discussion of the material factors considered by the PBB Board in reaching its conclusions, see "Manhattan Bancorp and Professional Business Bank Proposal 1: Approval of the Merger Agreement—Professional Business Bank's Reasons for the Mergers; Recommendation of the PBB Board" beginning on page 53.

The PBB Board recommends that you vote "FOR" the proposal to approve the merger agreement and "FOR" the approval of the adjournment of the meeting, if necessary or appropriate in the judgment of the PBB Board, to solicit additional proxies or votes in favor of such approval.

We Have Received Opinions From Our Financial Advisors (see page 57)

Opinion of Manhattan Bancorp's Financial Advisor. In connection with the consideration of the merger agreement by the Manhattan Special Committee and Manhattan Board, Manhattan Bancorp's financial advisor, Sandler O'Neill, provided its opinion to the Manhattan Board dated as of November 21, 2011 that, as of that date, and subject to and based on the qualifications and assumptions set forth in its opinion, the exchange ratio stated in the merger agreement with respect to the bank merger was fair to the shareholders of Manhattan Bancorp from a financial point of view. The full text of Sandler O'Neill's opinion is attached as Annex B to this joint proxy statement/prospectus. Manhattan Bancorp shareholders should read that opinion and the description of Sandler O'Neill's opinion contained in this joint proxy statement/prospectus in their entirety. The opinion of Sandler O'Neill does not reflect any developments that may have occurred or may occur after the date of its opinion and prior to the completion of the bank merger. Manhattan Bancorp does not expect that it will request an updated opinion from Sandler O'Neill.

Opinion of Professional Business Bank's Financial Advisor. In connection with the consideration of the merger agreement by the PBB Board, Professional Business Bank's financial advisor, Davidson, provided its opinion to the PBB Board dated as of November 21, 2011 that, based upon and subject to the considerations set forth in the opinion and based upon such other matters as Davidson considered relevant, the exchange ratio was fair, from a financial point of view, to the shareholders of Professional Business Bank as of the date of the opinion. The full text of Davidson's opinion is attached as Annex C to this joint proxy statement/prospectus. Professional Business Bank shareholders should read that opinion and the description of Davidson's opinion contained in this joint proxy statement/prospectus in their entirety. The opinion of Davidson will not reflect any developments that may have occurred or may occur after the date of its opinion and prior to the completion of the mergers. Professional Business Bank does not expect that it will request an updated opinion from Davidson.

Manhattan Bancorp and Professional Business Bank Shareholders Will Have Dissenters' Appraisal Rights (see page 85)

Under California law, which is the law under which both Manhattan Bancorp and Professional Business Bank are incorporated, the shareholders of Manhattan Bancorp and Professional Business

Table of Contents

Bank will be entitled to dissenters' appraisal rights in connection with the mergers. Shareholders who exercise their dissenters' appraisal rights by complying with the applicable statutory procedures required by California law will be entitled to receive payment in cash for the fair value of their shares determined as of November 21, 2011, the last business day before the merger was announced.

Treatment of Stock Options and Other Equity-Based Awards (see page 85)

Manhattan Bancorp will assume all employee stock options and other equity-based awards under Professional Business Bank's equity-based compensation plans, in accordance with their terms, upon completion of the bank merger. As of December 31, 2011, stock options for the purchase of a total of 108,159 shares of Professional Business Bank common stock and 102,758 shares of Professional Business Bank common stock subject to certain restrictions on transfer and possible forfeiture for specified vesting periods were outstanding under Professional Business Bank's equity-based compensation plans. The mergers will not affect the terms of any stock options or performance units of Manhattan Bancorp issued under Manhattan Bancorp's equity-based compensation plans.

Board of Directors and Management of Manhattan Bancorp and the Combined Bank After the Bank Merger (see page 78)

Immediately following the closing of the bank merger, Manhattan Bancorp has agreed to take such action as may be necessary to appoint such directors as are selected by the PBB Board and approved by Fund Manager to the Manhattan Board. It is currently expected that James B. Jones, Marshall Laitsch, Louis P. Smaldino and Michael A. Zoeller, each of whom currently serves on the PBB Board, will be added to the Manhattan Board promptly following the closing of the bank merger. It is also currently expected that Patrick E. Greene, Christopher J. Growney and Larry S. Murphy, each of whom currently serves on the Manhattan Board, will resign from the Manhattan Board immediately following the closing of the bank merger.

The board of directors of the combined bank after the bank merger will consist of the current directors of Bank of Manhattan until their successors are duly elected and qualified or otherwise duly selected. It is currently expected that James B. Jones, Marshall Laitsch, Louis P. Smaldino and Michael A. Zoeller will be added to the board of directors of Bank of Manhattan, and that Patrick E. Greene, Christopher J. Growney and Larry S. Murphy will resign from the board of directors of Bank of Manhattan, after the closing of the bank merger

Following the bank merger, Terry L. Robinson, the current President and Chief Executive Officer of Manhattan Bancorp and Bank of Manhattan, is expected initially to continue to serve as the Chief Executive Officer of Manhattan Bancorp and the combined bank, and John Nerland, the current President and Chief Banking Officer of Professional Business Bank, is expected initially to serve as President of Manhattan Bancorp and the combined bank. In addition, the other senior executive officers of Manhattan Bancorp and Bank of Manhattan are expected initially to continue to serve in their present positions with Manhattan Bancorp and the combined bank after the closing of the bank merger. Each of these individuals will serve under his or her present employment terms and at the discretion of the board of directors of the Manhattan Bancorp and the combined bank, as the case may be.

Regulatory Approvals We Must Obtain for the Mergers (see page 83)

We have agreed to use our reasonable best efforts to obtain all regulatory approvals required to complete the transactions contemplated by the merger agreement. These approvals include approval from, among others, the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (the "Federal Reserve Board"), the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (the "OCC"), the California Department of Financial Institutions (the "DFI"), and the FDIC. We have received approvals from the OCC, the DFI and the FDIC, and we have an application pending with the Federal Reserve Board.

Table of Contents

Although we know of no reason why we cannot obtain the necessary regulatory approvals in a timely manner, we cannot be certain when or if they will be obtained.

Expected Timing of the Mergers (see page 93)

We expect to complete the mergers in the second quarter of 2012 if we receive shareholder and regulatory approvals for the mergers. The merger agreement provides that it may be terminated by either Manhattan Bancorp or Professional Business Bank if the mergers have not been consummated by June 30, 2012; however, if the parties have used their reasonable best efforts in seeking approvals of governmental authorities and the mergers have not been consummated due to the delay or failure of any governmental authority to provide approvals, permits, registrations or other governmental consents required to consummate the mergers, this date shall be automatically extended to September 30, 2012.

Conditions to Completion of the Bank Merger (see page 90)

We may not complete the bank merger unless the following conditions are satisfied or, where legally permitted, waived:

•: the merger agreement must be approved by (i) the PBB Board, (ii) a majority of the outstanding shares of common stock of Professional Business Bank, (ii) the boards of directors of Manhattan Bancorp and Bank of Manhattan, and (iv) a majority of the outstanding shares of common stock of Manhattan Bancorp;
•: a material adverse effect (as defined in the merger agreement) shall not have been suffered by Manhattan Bancorp and its subsidiaries, taken as a whole, or Professional Business Bank and CGB Holdings, taken as a whole;
•: we must obtain all necessary regulatory approvals of the mergers from governmental authorities and all statutory waiting periods must have expired;
•: the CGBH merger must have been completed;
•: each of Manhattan Bancorp, Bank of Manhattan, Professional Business Bank and CGB Holdings must have performed in all material respects all obligations required to be performed by them under the merger agreement;
•: no governmental authority can have enacted, issued or enforced any statute, rule, regulation, judgment, decree, injunction or other order, either temporary, preliminary or permanent, which prohibits or makes illegal the consummation of the bank merger;
•: the representations and warranties of each of Professional Business Bank, Manhattan Bancorp, Bank of Manhattan and CGB Holdings in the merger agreement must be true and correct, subject to exceptions that would not have a material adverse effect on Manhattan Bancorp, Bank of Manhattan, Professional Business Bank or CGB Holdings, as the case may be; and
•: each of Manhattan Bancorp and Professional Business Bank must have received the written opinion of a nationally recognized investment banking firm at the time of execution of the merger agreement stating that the exchange ratio is fair to its shareholders from a financial point of view.

Table of Contents

No Solicitation (see page 91)

So long as the merger agreement is in effect, Manhattan Bancorp and Bank of Manhattan may not:

•: solicit, initiate or encourage, or take any other action designed to facilitate or that is likely to result in, any inquiries or the making of any proposal or offer that constitutes, or is reasonably likely to lead to, any acquisition proposal;
•: provide any confidential information or data to any person relating to any acquisition proposal;
•: participate in any discussions or negotiations regarding any acquisition proposal;
•: waive, terminate, modify or fail to enforce any provision of any contractual "standstill" or similar obligations of any person other than Professional Business Bank;
•: approve or recommend, propose to approve or recommend, or execute or enter into, any letter of intent, agreement in principle, merger agreement, asset purchase agreement or share exchange agreement, option agreement or other similar agreement related to any acquisition proposal or propose to do any of the foregoing; or
•: make or authorize any statement, recommendation or solicitation in support of any acquisition proposal.

However, Manhattan Bancorp may participate in negotiations or discussions in response to an unsolicited acquisition proposal that the Manhattan Board determines is a "superior proposal" if it has determined, based on the advice of its outside counsel, that the failure to do so would breach, or would reasonably be expected to result in a breach of, its fiduciary obligations. Manhattan Bancorp has agreed to notify Professional Business Bank of any superior proposal received. "Superior proposal" is described in "Manhattan Bancorp and Professional Business Bank Proposal 1: Approval of the Merger Agreement—The Merger Agreement—Acquisition Proposals."

Termination of the Merger Agreement; Fees Payable (see page 93)

We may jointly agree to terminate the merger agreement at any time, whether before or after shareholder approval of the merger agreement. In addition, either of us may terminate the merger agreement, whether before or after shareholder approval of the merger agreement, if:

•: a governmental authority that must grant a material regulatory approval of the mergers denies such approval or a governmental authority permanently restrains or prohibits the mergers and, in either case, that denial or action is final and non-appealable, except that this termination right is not available to a party whose failure to comply with the merger agreement resulted in those actions by a governmental authority;
•: the mergers are not completed on or before June 30, 2012, or if the parties have used their reasonable best efforts in seeking approvals of governmental authorities and the mergers have not been consummated due to the delay or failure of any governmental authority to provide approvals, permits, registrations or other governmental consents required to consummate the mergers, this date shall be automatically extended to September 30, 2012 (except that this termination right is not available to a party whose failure to comply with the merger agreement resulted in the failure to complete the mergers by that date);
•: the other party is in breach of its representations, warranties, covenants or agreements set forth in the merger agreement and the breach would excuse the non-breaching party's obligation to complete the mergers and the breach cannot be or is not cured within the shorter to occur of (i) September 30, 2012 or (ii) within 10 days after notice of the breach is delivered by the non-breaching party; or

Table of Contents

•: any regulatory approvals required to consummate the mergers contain conditions, restrictions or requirements that the board of directors of Manhattan Bancorp, Bank of Manhattan or Professional Business Bank, as the case may be, or the manager or managing member of Fund Manager, determine in good faith would materially reduce the benefits of the mergers such that such party would not have entered into the merger agreement had such conditions, restrictions or requirements been known on the date of the merger agreement.

Manhattan Bancorp may terminate the merger agreement if it receives a superior acquisition proposal prior to receipt of the requisite approval of the bank merger from its shareholders and Professional Business Bank does not make a matching proposal within ten business days of receipt of notice thereof. Professional Business Bank and Fund Manager may terminate the merger agreement if Manhattan Bancorp receives a superior acquisition proposal after the date of the merger agreement.

The merger agreement provides that, in circumstances described more fully beginning on page 93 involving (i)(a) a change in recommendation by the Manhattan Board in favor of the merger agreement and (b) failure by Manhattan Bancorp to obtain the requisite approval of shareholders of Manhattan Bancorp's common stock of the bank merger, or (ii) a superior third party acquisition proposal to Manhattan Bancorp, Manhattan Bancorp may be required to pay a termination fee to Professional Business Bank of $300,000, plus the out-of-pocket expenses of Professional Business Bank, CGB Holdings and Fund Manager incurred in connection with the merger agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby in an amount not to exceed $450,000 in the aggregate. The termination fee and expense reimbursement could discourage other companies from seeking to acquire or merge with Manhattan Bancorp prior to completion of the mergers.

Contemplated Capital Transaction (see page 84)

Manhattan Bancorp has agreed to conduct a rights offering open to all Manhattan Bancorp shareholders, excluding the Funds, no later than the latter of sixty days following the closing of the mergers and thirty days following the receipt of audited financial statements of Manhattan Bancorp for the year ending December 31, 2011. Manhattan Bancorp will seek to raise up to $10,000,000 from the sale of shares of Manhattan Bancorp common stock at a per share price equivalent to the book value per share of Manhattan Bancorp common stock as of the end of the month preceding the month in which the registration statement relating to the rights offering becomes effective.

RISK FACTORS

In addition to the other information contained in or incorporated by reference into this joint proxy statement/prospectus, you should carefully consider the following risks relating to the mergers in deciding whether to vote for approval of the merger agreement. You should also consider the risks relating to the business of Manhattan Bancorp contained in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011 that it has filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, as well as any subsequent documents filed by it with the Securities and Exchange Commission, which are incorporated into this joint proxy statement/prospectus by reference. See "Where You Can Find More Information" on page 166.

Risks Related to the Mergers

Following the mergers, the Funds will collectively own a majority of the common stock of Manhattan Bancorp, and thus will also have substantial control over the outcome of key transactions involving either Manhattan Bancorp or the combined bank, including future changes of control.

The Funds collectively own approximately 43% of the common stock of Manhattan Bancorp and 100% of the common stock of CGB Holdings, which in turn owns approximately 90% of the common stock of Professional Business Bank. Following the consummation of the mergers, the Funds will collectively own a majority of the common stock of Manhattan Bancorp, and thus will exercise substantial control over Manhattan Bancorp and the combined bank. Based on the book value per share of the common stock of Manhattan Bancorp and Professional Business Bank at March 31, 2012, if the bank merger had closed in April 2012, the Funds would have collectively owned approximately 74.4% of the common stock of Manhattan Bancorp after the bank merger. As such, the Funds will have substantial influence and control over matters voted upon by shareholders of Manhattan Bancorp and will have the ability to approve transactions that may have a significant impact upon the operations of Manhattan Bancorp and the combined bank, such as the election of the directors to the board of directors of each of Manhattan Bancorp and the combined bank, mergers and sales of substantially all the assets of either Manhattan Bancorp or the combined bank, and other matters upon which shareholders of Manhattan Bancorp vote.

Following the mergers, the collective ownership interests of Manhattan Bancorp shareholders (excluding the Funds) will be diluted from approximately 57% to less than a majority.

Manhattan Bancorp shareholders (excluding the Funds), who collectively presently own approximately 57% of the issued and outstanding common stock of Manhattan Bancorp, will own less than a majority of the issued and outstanding common stock of Manhattan Bancorp immediately following the mergers. The mergers therefore will result in substantial dilution of the ownership interest of the current Manhattan Bancorp shareholders, as well as the loss of the controlling interest that they collectively presently hold in Manhattan Bancorp. Additionally, due to the ownership dilution, Manhattan Bancorp shareholders (excluding the Funds) as a group will be able to exercise less influence over the management, operations and policies for Manhattan Bancorp after the mergers than they currently exercise over the management, operations and policies of Manhattan Bancorp.

The number of shares of Manhattan Bancorp common stock to be received by Professional Business Bank shareholders in the bank merger is not fixed and will fluctuate based on changes in the book value of Manhattan Bancorp and Professional Business Bank common stock.

Table of Contents

value per share as of the last day of the month preceding the month in which the closing of the bank merger occurs, equal to the book value per share of Professional Business Bank common stock as of the same date, in each case subject to adjustment and calculated in accordance with the merger agreement. This exchange ratio will therefore be adjusted for changes in the book value of either Manhattan Bancorp or Professional Business Bank, whether such changes in value result from an improvement or decline in the financial condition or operating results of either company, general market and economic conditions, regulatory considerations, the timing of the mergers or other factors. Changes in the book value of Manhattan Bancorp or Professional Business Bank prior to the closing of the mergers will therefore affect the value that Manhattan Bancorp will pay, through the issuance of Manhattan Bancorp common stock, and that Professional Business Bank common shareholders will receive in the bank merger. Neither of us is permitted to terminate the merger agreement or resolicit the vote of our respective shareholders solely because of changes in the book value of Manhattan Bancorp or Professional Business Bank, although we may each have a right to terminate the merger agreement as a result of the occurrence of events that may also result in a decline in the book value of the other.

Required regulatory approvals and filings may not be received or completed, may take longer to receive or complete than expected or may impose conditions that are not anticipated, cannot be met or are materially burdensome.

Before the transactions contemplated in the merger agreement, including the mergers, may be completed, approvals must be obtained from bank regulatory authorities, and additional securities filings may be required with the SEC or under the "Blue Sky" securities laws of various states. Manhattan Bancorp and Professional Business Bank have each agreed to use their reasonable best efforts to complete these filings and obtain these approvals. The relevant bank regulatory authorities may impose conditions on the completion of the mergers or require changes to the terms of the merger agreement. Such conditions or changes could have the effect of delaying completion of the transactions contemplated in the merger agreement or imposing additional costs on or limiting the growth, revenues or other aspects of the business of the combined bank following the mergers.

Additionally, under the merger agreement each of Manhattan Bancorp, Bank of Manhattan and Professional Business Bank have the right to terminate the merger agreement if any governmental approval required for the mergers to occur is denied by such governmental authority. Furthermore, each of Manhattan Bancorp, Bank of Manhattan, Professional Business Bank and Fund Manager can terminate the merger agreement if any regulatory approvals required to consummate the mergers contain any conditions, restrictions, or requirements that such party determines would reduce the benefits of the mergers such that the party would not have entered into the merger agreement had such conditions, restrictions or requirements been known at the outset. Therefore, if such conditions or changes have the effect of delaying the mergers or imposing additional costs on or limiting the growth, revenues or other aspects of the business of the combined bank following the mergers, we can provide no assurance that the mergers will in fact occur, or that any of the aforementioned parties will not terminate the merger agreement.

We will be subject to business uncertainties and contractual restrictions while the mergers are pending, which could have an adverse effect on our respective businesses and financial results.

Uncertainty about the effect of the mergers on employees and customers may have an adverse effect on both Manhattan Bancorp and Professional Business Bank. These uncertainties may impair our ability to attract or motivate key personnel until the mergers are completed and could cause customers and others that deal with us to seek to change existing business relationships with either of us. If key employees depart because of issues relating to the uncertainty and difficulty of integration or a desire not to remain with the business, the combined bank's business following the mergers could be

Table of Contents

negatively affected. Furthermore, the attention of the management of Manhattan Bancorp and Professional Business Bank may be diverted toward the completion of the mergers and away from operational issues related to each institution.

In addition, the merger agreement restricts each of us from making acquisitions and taking other specified actions until the mergers occur, without the consent of the other. These restrictions may prevent each company from pursuing attractive business opportunities that may arise prior to the completion of the mergers.

If the mergers are not completed, Manhattan Bancorp, Bank of Manhattan and Professional Business Bank will have incurred substantial expenses without realizing the expected benefits of the mergers, which could negatively affect the market price of Manhattan Bancorp common stock and adversely impact the businesses of Manhattan Bancorp and Professional Business Bank.

Each of Manhattan Bancorp, Bank of Manhattan and Professional Business Bank has incurred substantial expenses in connection with the negotiation and preparations for completion of the transactions contemplated by the merger agreement, as well as the costs and expenses of filing, printing and mailing this joint proxy statement/prospectus in connection with the mergers. If the mergers are not completed, Manhattan Bancorp, Bank of Manhattan and Professional Business Bank will have incurred these expenses without realizing the expected benefits of the mergers.

If the mergers are not completed for any reason, the market price of Manhattan Bancorp's common stock may decline to the extent that current market prices of Manhattan Bancorp's shares reflect a market assumption that the mergers will be completed. Professional Business Bank's and Manhattan Bancorp's businesses may have been impacted adversely by the failure to pursue other beneficial opportunities due to the focus of management on the mergers, without realizing any of the anticipated benefits of completing the mergers. Furthermore, this diversion of the attention of management from the day-to-day business operations and the potential disruption to employees and business relationships during the period before the completion of the mergers may make it difficult to regain financial and market positions if the mergers do not occur.

The bank merger is subject to certain closing conditions that, if not satisfied or waived, will result in the bank merger not being completed, which may cause the market price of Manhattan Bancorp common stock or the value of Professional Business Bank common stock to decline.

The bank merger is subject to a number of conditions to closing, including the receipt of required regulatory approvals and approvals of the Manhattan Bancorp and Professional Business Bank shareholders. If any condition to the bank merger is not satisfied or waived, to the extent permitted by law, the bank merger will not be completed. In addition, Manhattan Bancorp and Professional Business Bank may terminate the merger agreement under certain circumstances even if the mergers are approved by shareholders. If the mergers are not completed, the market price of Manhattan Bancorp common stock or the value of Professional Business Bank common stock may decline because the current value of those shares may reflect a market assumption that the mergers will be completed.

The completion of the mergers will trigger change in control provisions in certain agreements to which Professional Business Bank is a party.

The completion of the mergers will trigger change in control provisions in certain agreements to which Professional Business Bank is a party. It is currently anticipated that the mergers will trigger lump sum payments of an aggregate of approximately $1.2 million to the Chief Executive Officer and certain other officers of Professional Business Bank who are not anticipated to continue with the combined bank following the mergers. These payments are to be made pursuant to the terms of Change in Control Agreements to which the respective officers are parties, and, in connection with the

Table of Contents

Chief Executive Officer, under the terms of her employment agreement. Although it is currently anticipated that John Nerland, the President and Chief Banking Officer of Professional Business Bank, will be employed as the President of Manhattan Bancorp and the combined bank after the mergers, should his employment be terminated without cause within one year after a change in control, he would be entitled to a lump sum payment of approximately $234,000 under his Change in Control Agreement with Professional Business Bank. Professional Business Bank has negotiated a waiver of the payment due under the Change in Control Agreement of one officer in consideration for a fee of $5,000 and an anticipated consulting agreement with this officer, who is not an executive officer, to render consulting services to the combined bank following the mergers. Although these payments to be made to officers of Professional Business Bank have been incorporated into the transaction costs of the mergers, these payments are significant in size and may adversely impact the results of operations of the combined bank. See "Manhattan Bancorp and Professional Business Bank Proposal 1—Approval of the Merger Agreement—Interests of Certain Persons in the Mergers."

The merger agreement limits Manhattan Bancorp's ability to pursue an alternative acquisition proposal and requires Manhattan Bancorp to pay a termination fee and reimburse certain expenses under certain circumstances relating to alternative acquisition proposals.

The merger agreement prohibits Manhattan Bancorp from initiating, soliciting, encouraging or engaging in negotiations with, or providing any information to, any third party with respect to alternative acquisition proposals, subject to limited exceptions. The merger agreement also provides for the payment by Manhattan Bancorp of a termination fee in the amount of $300,000 to Professional Business Bank, plus reimbursement of the fees and expenses incurred in connection with the mergers by Professional Business Bank, CGB Holdings or Fund Manager of up to $450,000, in the aggregate, in the event that Manhattan Bancorp or Professional Business Bank terminate the merger agreement for reasons related to a superior proposal. These provisions might discourage a potential competing acquirer that might have an interest in acquiring all or a significant part of Manhattan Bancorp. See "Manhattan Bancorp and Professional Business Bank Proposal 1—Approval of the Merger Agreement—The Merger Agreement—Acquisition Proposals" on page 91.

Certain persons may have interests in the mergers that differ from the interests of Manhattan Bancorp and Professional Business Bank shareholders generally.

Certain persons may have interests in the mergers that are in addition to, and may be different from, the interests of Manhattan Bancorp and Professional Business Bank shareholders generally. See "Manhattan Bancorp and Professional Business Bank Proposal 1: Approval of the Merger Agreement—Interests of Certain Persons in the Mergers" beginning on page 75 for a discussion of these interests.

The shares of Manhattan Bancorp common stock to be received by Professional Business Bank shareholders as a result of the bank merger will have different rights from the shares of Professional Business Bank common stock.

Upon completion of the bank merger, Professional Business Bank shareholders will become Manhattan Bancorp shareholders and their rights as shareholders will be governed by the Manhattan Bancorp articles of incorporation and the Manhattan Bancorp bylaws. The rights associated with Professional Business Bank common stock are different from the rights associated with Manhattan Bancorp common stock. Please see "Comparison of the Rights of Shareholders of Manhattan Bancorp and Professional Business Bank" beginning on page 110 for a discussion of the different rights associated with Manhattan Bancorp common stock.

Table of Contents

Neither Manhattan Bancorp nor Professional Business Bank has obtained an updated fairness opinion from its financial advisor reflecting changes in circumstances that may have occurred since the signing of the merger agreement.

Sandler O'Neill, the financial advisor to Manhattan Bancorp in connection with the proposed mergers, and Davidson, the financial advisor to Professional Business Bank in connection with the proposed mergers, have each delivered to the board of directors of Manhattan Bancorp and Professional Business Bank, respectively, their opinions, each dated as of November 21, 2011, regarding the fairness, from a financial point of view, of the exchange ratio to be paid to Professional Business Bank shareholders in connection with the bank merger. Neither Manhattan Bancorp nor Professional Business Bank has obtained an updated opinion as of the date of this joint proxy statement/prospectus from its financial advisor regarding the fairness, from a financial point of view, of the exchange ratio to be paid to Professional Business Bank shareholders in connection with the bank merger.

Changes in the operations and prospects of Manhattan Bancorp or Professional Business Bank, general market and economic conditions and other factors which may be beyond the control of either of Manhattan Bancorp or Professional Business Bank, and on which the fairness opinion was based, may have altered the value of Manhattan Bancorp or Professional Business Bank or the book value of shares of Manhattan Bancorp common stock and shares of Professional Business Bank common stock as of the date of this joint proxy statement/prospectus, or may alter such values and prices by the time the bank merger is completed. The opinions speak only as of their date. For a description of the opinions that Manhattan Bancorp and Professional Business Bank received, please refer to "Manhattan Bancorp and Professional Business Bank Proposal 1: Approval of the Merger Agreement—Opinions of Manhattan Bancorp and Professional Business Bank Financial Advisors—Opinion of Manhattan Bancorp's Financial Advisor" beginning on page 57 and "Manhattan Bancorp and Professional Business Bank Proposal 1: Approval of the Merger Agreement—Opinions of Manhattan Bancorp and Professional Business Bank Financial Advisors—Opinion of Professional Business Bank's Financial Advisor" beginning on page 67. For a description of the other factors considered by the board of directors of each of Manhattan Bancorp and Professional Business Bank in determining to approve the merger agreement, please refer to "Manhattan Bancorp and Professional Business Bank Proposal 1: Approval of the Merger Agreement—Manhattan Bancorp's Reasons for the Bank Merger; Recommendation of the Manhattan Special Committee and Manhattan Board" beginning on page 48 and "Manhattan Bancorp and Professional Business Bank Proposal 1: Approval of the Merger Agreement—Professional Business Bank's Reasons for the Mergers; Recommendation of the PBB Board" beginning on page 53.

Risks Relating to Combined Operations Following the Mergers

Manhattan Bancorp is obligated by the merger agreement to conduct a rights offering of its common stock to existing shareholders (excluding the Funds) after the consummation of the mergers. The issuance of additional common stock may adversely affect the market price of Manhattan Bancorp's common stock.

Manhattan Bancorp's ability to raise additional capital through the rights offering will depend on conditions in the capital markets, which are outside its control, and on the financial performance of Manhattan Bancorp and the combined bank. Additional capital raised through the rights offering may dilute the interests of existing shareholders who choose not to participate in the offering to the extent of shares issued in the offering, and may cause the market price of Manhattan Bancorp's common stock to decline. See "Manhattan Bancorp and Professional Business Bank Proposal 1: Approval of the Merger Agreement—Contemplated Capital Transaction" on page 84.

Table of Contents

We may fail to realize the cost savings we have estimated for the mergers or integrate the business operations and managements of our two companies in an efficient manner.

The success of the mergers will depend, in part, on Manhattan Bancorp's ability to realize anticipated cost savings and to combine the businesses of Bank of Manhattan and Professional Business Bank in a manner that permits growth opportunities to be realized and does not materially disrupt the existing customer relationships of Professional Business Bank nor result in decreased revenues due to any loss of customers. We expect to realize annual cost savings of approximately $4 million on a pre-tax basis, phased in over the two-year period following the consummation of the bank merger, including approximately $2.5 million in savings related to reductions in the number and amount of employees and the remaining savings coming primarily from reduced infrastructural costs (e.g., integration of information systems).

Bank of Manhattan and Professional Business Bank have operated, and until the completion of the mergers will continue to operate, independently. To realize these anticipated benefits, the businesses of Bank of Manhattan and Professional Business Bank must be successfully combined. While management has taken existing lease and other contractual obligations into consideration in developing its estimate of cost savings, changes in transaction volumes, operating systems and procedures and other factors may cause the actual cost savings to be different from these estimates. In addition, difficulties encountered in integrating our information systems could prevent us from realizing some of the estimated cost savings. Such difficulties could also jeopardize customer relationships, cause a loss of deposits or loan customers and the revenue associated with those customers. It is possible that the integration process could result in the loss of key employees, as well as the disruption of each company's ongoing businesses or inconsistencies in standards, controls, procedures and policies, any or all of which could adversely affect our ability to maintain relationships with clients, customers, depositors and employees after the bank merger or to achieve the anticipated benefits of the bank merger. Integration efforts between the two companies will also divert management attention and resources. A failure to successfully navigate the complicated integration process could have an adverse effect on the combined bank. If the combined bank is not able to achieve these cost-savings objectives, the anticipated benefits of the bank merger may not be realized fully or at all or may take longer to realize than expected.

Goodwill resulting from the mergers may adversely affect our results of operations.

Goodwill and other intangible assets are expected to increase substantially as a result of the mergers. Potential impairment of goodwill and amortization of other intangible assets could adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations. We assess our goodwill and other intangible assets and long-lived assets for impairment annually and more frequently when required by GAAP. We are required to record an impairment charge if circumstances indicate that the asset carrying values exceed their fair values. Our assessment of goodwill, other intangible assets, or long-lived assets could indicate that an impairment of the carrying value of such assets may have occurred that could result in a material, non-cash write-down of such assets, which could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and future earnings.

The market price of Manhattan Bancorp common stock after the mergers may be affected by factors different from those currently affecting the shares of Manhattan Bancorp common stock.

The businesses of Manhattan Bancorp and Professional Business Bank differ in important respects and, accordingly, the results of operations of the combined bank and the market price of Manhattan Bancorp common stock after the bank merger may be affected by factors different from those currently affecting the independent results of operations of Manhattan Bancorp and Professional Business Bank. For a discussion of the business of Manhattan Bancorp and certain factors to consider in connection

with that business, see the documents incorporated by reference in this joint proxy statement/prospectus and referred to under "Where You Can Find More Information" beginning on page 166.

Unanticipated costs relating to the mergers could reduce Manhattan Bancorp's future earnings per share.

Manhattan Bancorp's management believes that they have reasonably estimated the likely incremental costs of the combined operations of Manhattan Bancorp and Professional Business Bank following the bank merger. However, it is possible that unexpected transaction costs such as taxes, fees or professional expenses or unexpected future operating expenses such as unanticipated costs to integrate the two businesses, increased personnel costs or increased taxes, as well as other types of unanticipated adverse developments, could have a material adverse effect on the results of operations and financial condition of Manhattan Bancorp following the mergers. In addition, if actual costs are materially different from expected costs, the bank merger could have a significant dilutive effect on Manhattan Bancorp's earnings per share.

Manhattan Bancorp may not pay dividends in the foreseeable future, and you may have to rely on increases in the trading price of Manhattan Bancorp common stock for returns on your investment.

Manhattan Bancorp shareholders have not historically received any dividends. The payment of dividends by Manhattan Bancorp after the bank merger will be subject to the determination of the Manhattan Board. Decisions regarding whether to pay dividends and the amount of any dividends to be paid will be based on compliance with the California General Corporation Law (the "CGCL"), compliance with agreements governing Manhattan Bancorp's indebtedness, earnings, cash requirements, results of operations, cash flows and financial condition and other factors that the Manhattan Board may consider to be important. As such, Manhattan Bancorp may not pay any regular dividends in the foreseeable future should the Manhattan Board so determine, in which case former Professional Business Bank shareholders would have to rely on increases in the trading price of Manhattan Bancorp common stock for any return on their investment.

Manhattan Bancorp's actual financial position and results of operations may differ materially from the unaudited pro forma financial data included herein.

The unaudited pro forma financial data included herein are presented for illustrative purposes only and are not necessarily indicative of what Manhattan Bancorp's and the combined bank's actual financial position or results of operations would have been had the merger been completed on the dates indicated. These data reflect adjustments, which are based upon preliminary estimates, to allocate the purchase price to Manhattan Bancorp's net assets. The purchase price allocation reflected in this document is preliminary, and final allocation of the purchase price will be based upon the actual purchase price and the fair value of the assets and liabilities of Manhattan Bancorp as of the date of the completion of the bank merger. In addition, subsequent to the closing date of the bank merger, there may be further refinements of the purchase price allocation as additional information becomes available. Accordingly, the final purchase accounting adjustments might differ materially from the pro forma adjustments reflected herein. See "Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated Financial Information" beginning on page 98 for more information.

INFORMATION ABOUT MANHATTAN BANCORP AND BANK OF MANHATTAN

Manhattan Bancorp is a bank holding company organized under the laws of the state of California and headquartered in El Segundo, California. Its principal subsidiary, Bank of Manhattan, is an FDIC-insured national banking association located in the South Bay area of Southern California that offers relationship banking services and residential mortgages to entrepreneurs, family owned and closely-held middle market businesses, real estate investors and professional service firms. Though its wholly-owned subsidiary, MBFS, Manhattan Bancorp also indirectly owns a 70% interest in MCM, which, either directly or through its wholly-owned subsidiaries, generates revenues primarily from trading income, facilitating trades in whole loans between institutional clients, and advisory services regarding the evaluation and packaging of bond portfolios of other institutions. At December 31, 2011, Manhattan Bancorp had consolidated total assets of $201.8 million, total net loans of $155.8 million, total deposits of $169.7 million and total shareholders' equity of $18.0 million.

Banking Activities

Bank of Manhattan promotes relationship based products and services to meet the needs of its defined customer base. It offers a full range of deposit products including non-interest bearing demand deposits and interest bearing checking accounts, savings accounts and certificates of deposit. Wire transfers, electronic bill payment, overdraft protection, and assorted retail banking services are offered to all customers, and Bank of Manhattan offers cash management services to its commercial checking account customers.

Bank of Manhattan originates loans based on specific underwriting guidelines. A large portion of these loans are secured by commercial real estate. However, Bank of Manhattan offers both secured and unsecured commercial term loans and lines of credit, as well as construction loans for individual residential properties. To a much lesser extent, Bank of Manhattan has made home equity and other consumer loans. In October 2010, Bank of Manhattan began to originate consumer residential real estate mortgage loans with the intent to sell the majority of such loans to qualified investors. Bank of Manhattan has not originated, nor does it intend to originate, loans that are deemed sub-prime credits. Additionally, all residential real estate mortgage loans are full income documented and asset documented loans.

Bank of Manhattan originates warehouse lines of credit for select mortgage bankers whereby Bank of Manhattan controls both the cash disbursement process through an affiliate, Manhattan Mortgage Warehouse Inc., and the collateral through a third party custodian. Bank of Manhattan also takes an assignment of each underlying loan.

Bank of Manhattan offers Internet banking services, which allow customers to review their account information, issue stop payment orders, pay bills, transfer funds, order checks and inquire about credit products electronically. It also offers qualified customers the ability to process deposits through remote item capture from their place of business.

Secondary Marketing and Loan Servicing Activities

As part of its secondary marketing activities, Bank of Manhattan originates residential real estate mortgage loans with the intent to sell the majority of such loans to qualified investors. It also purchases existing funded residential real estate mortgage loans from qualified institutions with the intent to resell these loans to qualified investors. Bank of Manhattan underwrites all purchased loans for credit and regulatory compliance prior to acquisition to ensure each loan is eligible for sale to government agencies or government sponsored agencies (collectively referred to as "GSEs"). Bank of Manhattan uses hedging programs to manage the interest rate risk of its secondary marketing activities.

Depending upon market pricing for mortgage servicing rights ("MSRs"), Bank of Manhattan sells loans either servicing retained or servicing released. When it sells loans, it records realized gains or losses from these loans at the time of sale based on the difference between the net sales proceeds and the allocated basis of the loans sold. When it sells loans servicing retained, it capitalizes the resulting MSRs based on its estimated fair value and records the related gain. Bank of Manhattan believes that servicing loans for others can provide it with an important opportunity to offer its other financial services to borrowers, a meaningful source of additional income with minimal additional overhead costs, and an important asset/liability management tool because it provides an asset whose value tends to move opposite to changes in market interest rates. In contrast to certain other components of Bank of Manhattan's balance sheet, a loan servicing portfolio normally increases in value as interest rates rise and loan prepayments decrease and declines in value as interest rates fall and loan prepayments increase.

As part of its secondary marketing activities, Bank of Manhattan also enters into forward sales commitments with qualified investors to deliver its loans at a future date, which typically is within 30 days of funding for loans originated by Bank of Manhattan. Sales to GSEs typically are accomplished through a securitization transaction, which involves the receipt of a mortgage-backed security from a GSE in exchange for loans that Bank of Manhattan sells to that GSE. Typically, settlement of the forward sales commitment and the securitization transaction occurs on the same day, whereby Bank of Manhattan does not retain the mortgage backed security. However, based on market conditions in the future, Bank of Manhattan may retain the mortgage backed security for a period of time prior to selling it in the capital markets. In this event, Bank of Manhattan will not record a realized gain or loss from the exchange on the date of securitization but rather when the mortgage-backed security is sold. If Bank of Manhattan intends to sell the mortgage-backed security, it will designate the mortgage-backed security as a trading security in its consolidated balance sheet with changes in fair value included in its consolidated statement of operations.

Capital Market Activities

Manhattan Bancorp offers mortgage related advisory and broker/dealer services through its indirect subsidiary, MCM. MCM provides both fee and incentive based consulting services to banks, mortgage bankers and institutional investors.

MCM's wholly-owned subsidiary, BOM Capital, LLC, effectuates buy and sell orders from institutional investors in mortgage backed to-be-announced securities. In order to mitigate principal risk, BOM Capital, LLC does not take a position in these transactions but rather arranges for simultaneous buyers and sellers for all transactions prior to executing either a buy trade or a sell trade. BOM Capital, LLC's transactions are deemed to be "Riskless Principal Transactions" per Federal Reserve System Regulation Y, Part 225—Subpart C—Sec. 225.28.

MCM also provides general consulting services through its wholly-owned subsidiary, Manhattan Advisory Services Inc. ("MASI"), and mortgage warehouse lending services through its wholly-owned subsidiary, Manhattan Mortgage Warehouse Inc. MASI also provides loan trading services and incentive-based investment advisory services through its wholly-owned subsidiary, Manhattan Investment Management Services Inc.

Lending Activities

Professional Business Bank offers a wide variety of loan products; however, a substantial majority of its loans are real estate loans, including commercial real estate loans. As of December 31, 2011, Professional Business Bank's loan portfolio included approximately 71.0% commercial and other real estate loans and 27.5% commercial (non-real estate) and industrial loans.

Table of Contents

Professional Business Bank ceased both construction lending and the origination of SBA 7A loans in 2009 due to its loss experiences in these areas. Professional Business Bank also ceased consumer lending in 2011 after it concluded this type of lending was not profitable to its business.

Professional Business Bank's real estate loans consist primarily of commercial real estate loans, but also include residential real estate loans which are comprised primarily of loans secured by 1-4 single family residences and home equity lines of credit.

Professional Business Bank's lending staff originates and underwrites commercial real estate loans primarily in Los Angeles County. These loans are made based on the income generating capacity of the property or the cash flow of the borrower. Both fixed and variable interest rates are offered with loan maturities not exceeding 10 years. Loan amortizations are offered out to 25-years. Professional Business Bank intends to hold the majority of its commercial real estate loans in its portfolio; however, it may elect to sell participations in the loans when the financing request received by the borrower exceeds its legal lending limit or presents an unwanted increase in loan type concentration or for other strategic reasons.

Professional Business Bank has established maximum loan to value ratios and minimum debt service requirements for its real estate loans in compliance with regulatory guidelines for each real property scenario. Professional Business Bank relies on the "as-is" appraised value and not a speculative "stabilized" value. As a general practice, Professional Business Bank provides real estate loans with a maximum loan to value ratio of 70%. The debt service coverage ratio related to an investor real estate loan is 1.25x. A global debt service coverage ratio of 1.20x is required for owner occupied real estate loans and commercial and industrial loans.

The key credit risks associated with commercial real estate loans include fluctuations in the value of real estate, tenant vacancy rates and the quality of the borrower's management.

Underwriting criteria for a commercial real estate projects requires that such loan requests be supported by a market analysis that evidences a viable purpose, and analysis of the ratio of net operating income to current debt service, vacancy rates of the relevant market, projected new commercial space coming on stream, leasing history and lease rates and the length of the property ownership of the borrower. As a secondary source of repayment, a qualified appraisal of the real property held as collateral is required.

With respect to all loans to individuals or where there is an individual guarantor, Professional Business Bank's loan policy guidelines require a minimum FICO score of 675. Exceptions to this requirement may be made from time to time on a case by case basis following analysis of an individual credit report which shows mitigating circumstances.

Professional Business Bank makes both secured and unsecured commercial and industrial loans for working capital needs or to finance equipment purchases, inventory purchases, business expansion, purchase of a business and/or leasehold improvements. These loans are short-term with maturities ranging from thirty days to one year, or term loans ranging from one to ten years. Short-term loans generally are intended to finance current transactions and typically require periodic principal payments with interest payable monthly. Term loans normally require monthly payment of principal and interest. Both short-term and long term loans normally provide for variable interest rates which adjust with changes in the commercial prime rate or comparable short-term market indices. All variable rate loans are underwritten at the fully-indexed rate. Commercial loans for equipment purchases are secured by UCC filings and are generally structured as fixed-rate loans with stated maturities; typically the maturity does not exceed 5 years. Such term loans will be made to borrowers with a demonstrated history of profitable operations and a diverse customer base.

Commercial and industrial loans generally carry more risk than real estate based loans. Professional Business Bank seeks to mitigate these risks through careful underwriting. Risks associated with commercial loans include the quality of the commercial borrower's management and its ability

Table of Contents

both to properly evaluate changes in the supply and demand characteristics affecting its markets for products and services and to effectively respond to such changes.

Underwriting criteria for variable rate loans includes a stress test of the loan's interest rate. Professional Business Bank applies a 50 to 100 basis points increase to the current rate to review the impact of an increase to the borrower's ability to service the loan payment. For the purpose of Professional Business Bank's Allowance for Loan Loss Reserve account, a rate shock is not assumed. The majority of Professional Business Bank's credit exposure to interest rate shock is accounted for under Statement of Position (SOP) 03-3. Professional Business Bank prepares a stress test each quarter related to its real estate secured loans. As part of the stress test all of the interest rates are increased by 100 to 200 basis points in order to determine the quality of the assets in the event interest rates do increase. If the stress test were to reveal weakness in the portfolio the ALLL would be adjusted accordingly.

Professional Business Bank does not issue any hybrid loans, low doc/no doc loans, payment option adjustable rate mortgages, interest only loans or subprime loans that would provide for higher interest rates and less favorable terms in order to compensate for higher credit risk.

Under applicable state banking laws, Professional Business Bank is limited in the amount it can loan to a single borrower to no more than 15% of its statutory capital base, unless the entire amount of the loan is secured by readily marketable collateral or certain real estate, in which case the limit is increased to 25% of statutory capital to a single borrower. As of December 31, 2011, Professional Business Bank's legal lending limits to a single borrower, and such borrower's related parties, was approximately $9.2 million on a secured basis and $5.5 million for unsecured loans.

Deposit Products

Professional Business Bank markets its deposit products to the local community and offers a full range of deposit accounts, including non-interest bearing demand deposit accounts, interest bearing checking accounts, regular savings accounts, and certificates of deposit. Professional Business Bank offer certificates of deposit with terms from thirty days to five years. As of December 31, 2011, Professional Business Bank held $201.2 million in total deposits.

Most of Professional Business Bank's deposits are generated from relationship banking and advertising. However, the bank has also, at times, attracted non-local ("brokered") certificates of deposit at market rates. Professional Business Bank anticipates that brokered deposits will be used from time to time in the future as an additional source of funding loan growth. At December 31, 2011, an aggregate of $18.6 million of Professional Business Bank's total deposits are considered to be brokered deposits. Brokered deposits may be more volatile than other deposits due to the lack of a community relationship between the bank and the depositors who are primarily shopping for the highest interest rates.

Other Products and Services

Professional Business Bank also offers other customary banking products and services, including, among other things, wire transfers, courier service, overdraft protection, Visa credit cards, merchant bankcard services, debit cards and ATM cards. The bank also offers Internet banking service, which allows customers to review their account information, issue stop payment orders, pay bills, transfer funds and view images of cancelled checks. Professional Business Bank also offers remote deposit capture as an additional service to its business customers. Remote deposit capture permits a customer to input checks into a check scanner located at its business location and to forward the check images to Professional Business Bank in lieu of bringing the actual paper checks to the bank for deposit. Professional Business Bank does not presently operate a trust department and does not anticipate establishing a trust department in the foreseeable future.

MANHATTAN BANCORP ANNUAL MEETING

Date, Time and Place of the Annual Meeting

This joint proxy statement/prospectus is being furnished to you in connection with the solicitation of proxies by the Manhattan Board in connection with the annual meeting of shareholders to be held at the Ayres Hotel, 14400 Hindry Avenue, Hawthorne, California 90250, on Friday, May 25, 2012 at 9:00 a.m. Los Angeles time.

Purpose of the Manhattan Bancorp Annual Meeting

Manhattan Bancorp shareholders will be asked to consider and vote upon the following proposals at the annual meeting, including any postponement or adjournment thereof:

•: approval of the merger agreement (Manhattan Bancorp Proposal 1);
•: adjournment of the meeting, if necessary or appropriate in the judgment of the Manhattan Board, to solicit additional proxies or votes in favor of the approval of the merger agreement (Manhattan Bancorp Proposal 2);
•: election of ten (10) persons to the Manhattan Board to serve until the next annual meeting of shareholders and until their successors are elected and have qualified (Manhattan Bancorp Proposal 3);
•: ratification of the appointment of McGladrey & Pullen, LLP as Manhattan Bancorp's independent registered public accounting firm for 2012 (Manhattan Bancorp Proposal 4); and
•: any other matters that may be properly presented at the meeting.

Record Date for the Annual Meeting

The Manhattan Board has fixed the close of business on April 27, 2012 as the record date for determination of shareholders entitled to notice of and to vote at the annual meeting of shareholders. On the record date, 3,997,631 shares of Manhattan Bancorp common stock were outstanding.

Quorum; Votes Required

A majority of the shares of Manhattan Bancorp common stock outstanding on the record date must be present, either in person or by proxy, to constitute a quorum at the Manhattan Bancorp annual meeting. The proposals require the following votes in order to approve them:

•: The affirmative vote of a majority of the shares of Manhattan Bancorp common stock outstanding on the record date will be required to approve the merger agreement.
•: The affirmative vote of a majority of the shares of Manhattan Bancorp common stock represented at the annual meeting and entitled to vote will be required to approve the proposal to grant discretionary authority to adjourn the annual meeting, if necessary, to permit further solicitation of proxies.
•: In the election of directors, the ten (10) director nominees receiving the most number of votes will be elected.
•: The affirmative vote of a majority of the shares of Manhattan Bancorp common stock represented at the annual meeting and entitled to vote will be required to ratify McGladrey & Pullen, LLP as Manhattan Bancorp's independent public accountants for 2012.

Table of Contents

At the Manhattan Bancorp annual meeting, each share of Manhattan Bancorp common stock will be entitled to one vote on all matters properly submitted to the Manhattan Bancorp shareholders. In the election of directors, you may be permitted to cumulate your votes.

Cumulative voting is a manner of voting in the election of directors in which each shareholder is entitled to a total number of votes equal to the number of directors to be elected multiplied by the number of votes the shareholder would have on a single matter. The number of votes a shareholder has on a single matter is the number of shares of common stock held directly by the shareholder and held for such shareholder's benefit in street name. For example, if you hold 1,000 shares of common stock, you are entitled to 10,000 total votes in the election of directors (ten—the number of directors—multiplied by one vote per share of common stock, or 10,000 votes). A shareholder may use all of his or her votes for one nominee, or may distribute his or her shares among two or more nominees as the shareholder see fits.

No shareholder shall be entitled to cumulate his votes unless the nominee's or nominees' names for which he desires to cumulate his votes have been properly placed in nomination prior to the voting and the shareholder has given notice at the annual meeting prior to the voting of his intention to cumulate his votes. If any one shareholder has given such notice, all shareholders may cumulate their votes for nominees in nomination.

As of the record date, Manhattan Bancorp directors and executive officers and their affiliates owned and were entitled to vote approximately 255,050 shares of Manhattan Bancorp common stock, representing approximately 6.4% of the issued and outstanding common stock of Manhattan Bancorp. We currently expect that Manhattan Bancorp's directors and executive officers will vote their shares to approve the merger agreement, although none of them has entered into any agreements obligating them to do so. Manhattan Bancorp's three largest shareholders, the Funds, reported collective beneficial ownership of approximately 1,725,000 shares of Manhattan Bancorp common stock, representing approximately 43% of the issued and outstanding common stock of Manhattan Bancorp, as of the record date. Fund Manager, as a party to the merger agreement, has agreed to use its reasonable best efforts in good faith to take all actions necessary for the consummation of the mergers. Accordingly, we currently expect that the Funds will each vote their shares to approve the merger agreement, and therefore that an affirmative vote in favor of the merger agreement by the Manhattan Bancorp shareholders is very likely.

Attending the Annual Meeting

If you are a holder of record of Manhattan Bancorp common stock and plan to attend the Manhattan Bancorp annual meeting, please indicate this when you vote. A photo identification will not be required for admission to the annual meeting but will be required if you want to vote your Manhattan Bancorp common stock in person. If you want to vote your Manhattan Bancorp common stock held through a bank, broker or other nominee in person, you must obtain a written proxy in your name from the bank, broker or other nominee that holds your shares.

Shareholder Voting

Manhattan Bancorp shareholders of record can vote their shares by completing and returning the proxy card by mail or by voting in person at the annual meeting. Manhattan Bancorp shareholders who hold their shares through a broker or bank or other holder of record should return their proxy cards or voting instruction cards forwarded by their broker, bank or other holder of record to such nominee.

Proxies

All shares of Manhattan Bancorp common stock represented by properly executed proxy cards or voting instruction cards received before or at the annual meeting will, unless revoked, be voted in

Table of Contents

accordance with the instructions indicated on those proxy cards or voting instruction cards. If no instructions are indicated on a properly executed proxy card, the shares represented thereby will be voted:

"FOR" the approval of the merger agreement;

"FOR" the adjournment of the meeting, if necessary or appropriate in the judgment of the Manhattan Board, to solicit additional proxies or votes in favor of the approval of the merger agreement;

"FOR" the election of the ten (10) director nominees set forth herein to the board of directors to serve until the next annual meeting of shareholders and until their successors are elected and have qualified; and

"FOR" the ratification of the appointment of McGladrey & Pullen, LLP as Manhattan Bancorp's independent registered public accounting firm for 2012.

If you return a properly executed proxy card or voting instruction card and have indicated that you have abstained from voting, your Manhattan Bancorp common stock represented by the proxy will be considered present at the annual meeting or any adjournment thereof for purposes of determining a quorum.

If your shares are held in an account at a broker or bank, you must instruct the broker or bank on how to vote your shares. If you do not provide voting instructions to your broker or bank, your shares will not be voted on any proposal on which your broker or bank does not have discretionary authority to vote. Under applicable rules, your broker or bank does not have discretionary authority to vote on the merger agreement proposal. If an executed proxy card returned by a broker or bank holding shares indicates that the broker or bank does not have discretionary authority to vote on a particular matter, the shares will be considered present at the meeting for purposes of determining the presence of a quorum, but will not be voted with respect to that matter. This is called a broker non-vote. Your broker or bank will vote your shares on these proposals only if you provide instructions on how to vote by following the instructions provided to you by your broker or bank.

Because approval of the merger agreement requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the outstanding shares of Manhattan Bancorp common stock, abstentions, failures to vote and broker non-votes will have the same effect as votes against the merger agreement. Accordingly, we urge you to mark each applicable box on the proxy card or voting instruction card to indicate how to vote your shares. Abstentions, failures to vote and broker non-votes will have no effect on the proposal to elect directors, the proposal to ratify McGladrey & Pullen, LLP as independent public accountants, or the proposal to adjourn the meeting to solicit additional votes.

Manhattan Bancorp does not expect that any matter or proposal other than the proposals described in this document will be brought before its annual meeting or any postponement or adjournment thereof. If, however, other matters are properly presented, the persons named as proxies will vote in accordance with their judgment with respect to those matters.

If you are a Manhattan Bancorp shareholder of record, you may revoke your proxy at any time before it is voted by:

•: filing a written notice of revocation with the Corporate Secretary of Manhattan Bancorp, which notice should be sent to Manhattan Bancorp, 2141 Rosecrans Avenue, Suite 1100, El Segundo, California 90245, Attention: Corporate Secretary;
•: granting a subsequently dated proxy; or
•: if you are a holder of record, appearing in person and voting at the Manhattan Bancorp annual meeting.

Table of Contents

If you hold your shares of Manhattan Bancorp common stock through an account at a broker or bank, you should contact your broker or bank to change your vote.

Attendance at the annual meeting will not in and of itself constitute revocation of a proxy. If the annual meeting is postponed or adjourned, it will not affect the ability of shareholders of record as of the record date to exercise their voting rights or to revoke any previously granted proxy using the methods described above, except in certain circumstances that are not currently anticipated. Manhattan Bancorp would notify shareholders by public announcement or other means if such circumstances were to occur.

Solicitation of Proxies

Manhattan Bancorp and Professional Business Bank will share equally the expenses incurred in connection with the printing and mailing of this joint proxy statement/prospectus. The proxies will be solicited principally through the mails, but directors, officers and employees of Manhattan Bancorp may solicit proxies personally or by telephone. Arrangements will be made with brokerage firms and other custodians, nominees and fiduciaries to forward these proxy solicitation materials to shareholders whose stock in Manhattan Bancorp is held of record by such entities, and Manhattan Bancorp will reimburse such brokerage firms, custodians, nominees and fiduciaries for reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by them in connection therewith. In addition, Manhattan Bancorp may pay for and utilize the services of individuals or companies it does not regularly employ in connection with this solicitation of proxies, if management determines it advisable.

MANHATTAN BANCORP AND PROFESSIONAL BUSINESS BANK
PROPOSAL 1: APPROVAL OF THE MERGER AGREEMENT

This section of this joint proxy statement/prospectus describes material aspects of the merger agreement and the proposed mergers. This summary may not contain all of the information that is important to you. You should carefully read this entire joint proxy statement/prospectus and the other documents we refer you to for a more complete understanding of the merger agreement and the mergers.

Explanatory Note Regarding the Merger Agreement

The merger agreement is described in this joint proxy statement/prospectus, and a copy of it is included as Annexes A-1 and A-2 to this joint proxy statement/prospectus, to provide you with important information regarding the proposed mergers. Factual disclosures about Manhattan Bancorp, Bank of Manhattan, Professional Business Bank and CGB Holdings contained in this joint proxy statement/prospectus or in the public reports filed by Manhattan Bancorp with the SEC may supplement, update or modify the factual disclosures and representations about Manhattan Bancorp, Bank of Manhattan, Professional Business Bank and CGB Holdings contained in the merger agreement. The representations, warranties and covenants made in the merger agreement by Manhattan Bancorp, Bank of Manhattan, Professional Business Bank and CGB Holdings are qualified and subject to important limitations agreed to by the parties in connection with negotiating the terms of the merger agreement. In particular, in your review of the representations and warranties contained in the merger agreement and described in this summary, it is important to bear in mind that the representations and warranties were negotiated with the principal purposes of establishing the circumstances in which a party to the merger agreement may have the right not to complete the mergers if the representations and warranties of the other party prove to be untrue, whether due to a change in circumstances or otherwise, and allocating risk between the parties to the merger agreement, rather than establishing matters as facts. The representations and warranties may also be subject to a contractual standard of materiality different from those generally applicable to shareholders or reports and documents filed with the SEC and in some cases are qualified by disclosures that were made by each party to the other, which disclosures were reflected in schedules to the merger agreement that have not been described or included in this joint proxy statement/prospectus, including Annexes A-1 and A-2. Further, information concerning the subject matter of the representations and warranties in the merger agreement, which do not purport to be accurate as of the date of this joint proxy statement/prospectus, may have changed since the date of the merger agreement, and subsequent developments or new information qualifying a representation or warranty may have been included in this joint proxy statement/prospectus.

General

Manhattan Bancorp, Bank of Manhattan, Professional Business Bank, CGB Holdings and Fund Manager entered into the merger agreement on November 21, 2011, and the merger agreement was subsequently amended on January 18, 2012. The merger agreement provides for the merger of CGB Holdings with and into Professional Business Bank followed by the merger of Professional Business Bank with and into Bank of Manhattan.

Effect of the Mergers; What Shareholders of Professional Business Bank and CGB Holdings Will Receive in the Mergers

Upon completion of the bank merger, Professional Business Bank will merge with and into Bank of Manhattan, with Bank of Manhattan being the surviving entity for legal purposes. Immediately prior thereto, CGB Holdings will merge with and into Professional Business Bank, with Professional Business Bank being the surviving entity for legal purposes.

The merger agreement provides that, at the completion of the CGBH merger, each share of CGB Holdings common stock outstanding immediately before the CGBH merger (other than shares as to

Table of Contents

which statutory dissenters' appraisal rights have been exercised) will be converted into the right to receive one share of Professional Business Bank common stock. CGB Holdings has agreed to take action prior to the effective time of the CGBH merger to reconstitute the number of outstanding shares of CGB Holdings common stock to equal the number of outstanding shares of Professional Business Bank common stock owned by CGB Holdings. As a result, the Funds, which comprise all the shareholders of CGB Holdings, will own, in the aggregate, the same number of shares of Professional Business Bank common stock after the merger as are owned by CGB Holdings immediately prior to the merger.

The merger agreement also provides that, at the completion of the bank merger, each share of Professional Business Bank common stock outstanding immediately before the bank merger (other than shares as to which statutory dissenters' appraisal rights have been exercised) will be converted into the right to receive a number of shares of Manhattan Bancorp common stock having an aggregate book value per share as of the last day of the month preceding the month in which the closing of the bank merger occurs, equal to the book value per share of Professional Business Bank common stock as of the same date, in each case subject to adjustment and calculated in accordance with the merger agreement. The book value of the common stock of each of Manhattan Bancorp and Professional Business Bank will be calculated in accordance with GAAP, but without including any expenses incurred by either of such parties in connection with the transactions contemplated by the merger agreement. The book value per share of the common stock of Manhattan Bancorp and Professional Business Bank will fluctuate from the date of this joint proxy statement/prospectus to the date of completion of the bank merger. Therefore, you will not know the exact number of shares of Manhattan Bancorp common stock to be issued to shareholders of Professional Business Bank in the bank merger when you vote on the merger agreement.

If the total number of shares of Manhattan Bancorp common stock to be received in the bank merger by a Professional Business Bank shareholder does not equal a whole number, the shareholder will receive cash instead of a fractional share. The amount of cash will equal the fractional share amount multiplied by the book value per share of Manhattan Bancorp common stock as of the last day of the month preceding the month in which the closing of the bank merger occurs.

Table of Contents

approximately 74.4% of the issued and outstanding common stock of Manhattan Bancorp after the mergers, while the shareholders of Manhattan Bancorp (excluding the Funds) and the shareholders of Professional Business Bank (excluding the Funds) would have collectively owned approximately 18.6% and 7.0%, respectively.

The exchange ratio and other elements of the merger consideration were determined based upon the parties' respective internal valuations of Manhattan Bancorp and Professional Business Bank, and arms' length negotiations between Manhattan Bancorp, Professional Business Bank, CGB Holdings and their respective advisors. In addition, Manhattan Bancorp and Professional Business Bank each retained financial advisors to review and advise regarding the structure and other terms of the proposed mergers, including the determination of the merger consideration. After evaluating the terms of the proposed mergers, financial information regarding Professional Business Bank, Manhattan Bancorp and the proposed mergers and information regarding peer companies and comparable transactions, (i) Sandler O'Neill rendered an oral opinion to the Manhattan Board, subsequently confirmed in writing, that as of such date, and based upon and subject to stated factors and assumptions, the exchange ratio was fair, from a financial point of view, to the shareholders of Manhattan Bancorp; and (ii) Davidson rendered an oral opinion to the PBB Board, subsequently confirmed in writing, that as of such date, and based upon and subject to stated factors and assumptions, the exchange ratio was fair, from a financial point of view, to the shareholders of Professional Business Bank. See "Background of the Mergers" for additional information regarding these negotiations and the background of merger relating to the merger consideration.

Background of the Mergers

Each of the Manhattan Board and the PBB Board has from time to time engaged with senior management in considering various strategic alternatives as part of its continuing efforts to enhance its company's performance and prospects and to maximize shareholder value in light of competitive, economic, regulatory and other relevant developments. In addition, the Manhattan Board has engaged with senior management and independent financial advisors since March 2011 in considering strategic alternatives in an effort to address the projected capital needs of Manhattan Bancorp.

In May 2011, James B. Jones, Chairman of Professional Business Bank, informally discussed with Mary Lynn Lenz, Chief Executive Officer of Professional Business Bank, the Investment Committee of Fund Manager and other members of the PBB Board the possibility of merging Professional Business Bank with a commercial bank other than Bank of Manhattan that was controlled by Fund Manager. The management of Professional Business Bank engaged in a preliminary analysis of this merger but the matter was never the subject of any specific proposed terms or any nonbinding indication of interest, term sheet or similar written proposal.

On July 25, 2011, Manhattan Bancorp entered into a credit agreement (the "Credit Agreement") with Carpenter Fund Management Company, LLC, as administrative agent, and Carpenter Community

Table of Contents

Bancfund, L.P. and Carpenter Community Bancfund-A, L.P., as lenders, to address its immediate capital needs. The Credit Agreement provided for a credit facility of up to $7.0 million, of which $5.0 million is currently outstanding. The obligations of Manhattan Bancorp under the Credit Agreement, which are scheduled to mature on June 30, 2012, were secured by a first priority pledge of all of the equity interests of Bank of Manhattan.

On or about August 16, 2011, J. Grant Couch, Jr., Chairman of Manhattan Bancorp, received a non-binding indication of interest from Fund Manager to consider a merger between Bank of Manhattan and Professional Business Bank. In this indication of interest, Fund Manager proposed that Professional Business Bank merge into Bank of Manhattan, with Manhattan Bancorp continuing as the holding company of the combined bank, and that Manhattan Bancorp and Professional Business Bank each be valued at book value in determining the number of shares of Manhattan Bancorp common stock to be issued in the merger.

On August 25, 2011, the Manhattan Board convened a meeting, which was attended by a representative of Manhattan Bancorp's former outside corporate counsel, Manatt, Phelps & Phillips, LLP ("Manatt"), to discuss the non-binding indication of interest and the advisability of exploring strategic alternatives to enhance shareholder value and to address Manhattan Bancorp's need for additional capital. It was noted that strategic alternatives could include a significant capital infusion or a merger or other extraordinary transaction. At this meeting, Manatt advised the members of the Manhattan Board regarding their fiduciary duties in connection with the proposed bank merger and Manhattan Bancorp's exploration of strategic alternatives. Because Fund Manager and the Funds control, either directly or indirectly, approximately 43% and 90% of the outstanding common stock of Manhattan Bancorp and Professional Business Bank, respectively, Manatt advised the Manhattan Board that it should form a special committee comprised of members who are independent from Fund Manager and the Funds to design and oversee the process for evaluating potential transactions and seeking the most likely transaction that will resolve Manhattan Bancorp's capital needs at the highest value available to its shareholders. Manatt discussed the process for forming a special committee and the scope of authorization to be given to the special committee, as well as a proposed charter for the special committee. The Manhattan Board unanimously approved the formation of the Manhattan Special Committee and appointed J. Grant Couch, Jr., Larry S. Murphy and Harry W. Chenoweth, each of whom is independent from Fund Manager and the Funds, to serve on the committee.

At this meeting, the Manhattan Board authorized the Manhattan Special Committee to engage independent legal and financial advisors and to (a) review and assess, and assist the Manhattan Board in reviewing and assessing, potential capital raising alternatives and other extraordinary transactions, including, without limitation, the proposed merger with Professional Business Bank and CGB Holdings and other merger or other consolidation transactions and other transactions involving a sale of majority ownership of Manhattan Bancorp (referred to as "Potential Transactions") in the context of Manhattan Bancorp's strategic alternatives; (b) consult with, monitor and assist Manhattan Bancorp's management and Manhattan Bancorp's legal, financial and other professional advisors in the negotiation of one or more Potential Transactions; (c) develop recommendations to the Manhattan Board with respect to the Potential Transactions; and (d) take any and all such other action as the Manhattan Special Committee deemed from time to time necessary, appropriate or advisable. The Manhattan Board also resolved that it would not approve, or recommend that the Manhattan Bancorp shareholders approve, any Potential Transaction without the prior, favorable recommendation of the Manhattan Special Committee.

The Manhattan Special Committee convened its first meeting on August 25, 2011 immediately following the meeting of the Manhattan Board. At this meeting, which was attended by representatives of senior management and Manatt, the Manhattan Special Committee appointed Mr. Couch to serve as committee chair, reviewed its charter and considered the advisability of engaging an independent financial advisor to assist it in designing and executing on a process to evaluate Potential Transactions. The Manhattan Special Committee discussed potential financial advisors, and determined that it should pursue further discussions with Sandler O'Neill in light of Sandler O'Neill's expertise in advising

community banks in their efforts to explore strategic alternatives and Sandler O'Neill's industry knowledge about likely counterparties to any Potential Transaction. The Manhattan Special Committee discussed the principal terms upon which it would be prepared to engage Sandler O'Neill to serve as a financial advisor, and directed that Mr. Couch negotiate an engagement letter with Sandler O'Neill for review and approval by the Manhattan Special Committee.

On August 25, 2011, Mr. Jones first advised Ms. Lenz of the negotiations between Fund Manager and Manhattan Bancorp respecting the potential merger of Bank of Manhattan and Professional Business Bank. Ms. Lenz then advised the members of the PBB Board of the potential merger of the two banks, although no transaction had been proposed to Professional Business Bank at that time.

On August 26, 2011, Professional Business Bank, Fund Manager, Manhattan Bancorp and Bank of Manhattan entered into a confidentiality agreement governing information to be shared by the parties in connection with the potential merger.

On August 30, 2011, the Manhattan Special Committee convened a meeting, which was attended by representatives of senior management, Manatt and Sandler O'Neill, to discuss the engagement of Sandler O'Neill. The Manhattan Special Committee unanimously approved a form of engagement letter which included certain terms of engagement that had been proposed by the Manhattan Special Committee in its previous meeting. The Manhattan Special Committee then reviewed the process for reviewing and evaluating Potential Transactions, including a thorough market check involving contacting the parties most likely to be interested in a Potential Transaction with Manhattan Bancorp and determining if those parties would have an interest in submitting a bid for a Potential Transaction. The Manhattan Special Committee discussed the scope of the market check, as well as the potential for disruption to Bank of Manhattan and its employees and customers, particularly in a situation in which Bank of Manhattan's potential competitors were contacted. The Manhattan Special Committee concluded that a thorough market check was essential for ensuring that it had taken all action reasonably possible to resolve Manhattan Bancorp's capital needs at the highest value reasonably available to Manhattan Bancorp's shareholders, and directed that Sandler O'Neill prepare a list of potential counterparties to a Potential Transaction for review and approval by the Manhattan Special Committee.

On August 31, 2011, the PBB Board held a strategic planning session, which was attended by a representative of Professional Business Bank's outside corporate counsel, King, Holmes, Paterno & Berliner ("KHPB"), to discuss the attributes of a potential merger between Professional Business Bank and Bank of Manhattan, and the fiduciary duties of the directors respecting such a transaction. The PBB Board authorized continued exploration of the potential merger of the two banks and established a special committee of the PBB Board (the "PBB Merger Committee") to oversee the investigation of the transaction, consisting of directors Mary Lynn Lenz, Marshall Laitsch, James Jones and David Blankenhorn.

On September 6, 2011, the Manhattan Special Committee convened a meeting, which was attended by representatives of senior management, Manatt and Sandler O'Neill, to discuss the process for initiating discussions with potential counterparties to a Potential Transaction with Manhattan Bancorp, including signing of a form of confidentiality agreement and establishing a virtual data room. The Manhattan Special Committee directed management to establish and populate a virtual data site with information related to Manhattan Bancorp, in consultation with Manatt. Mr. Couch also reported that he received an unsolicited telephone call from a community bank based in Southern California, which expressed interest in acquiring the banking operations of Bank of Manhattan, but not Manhattan Bancorp's broker-dealer or mortgage operations. The Manhattan Special Committee directed Sandler O'Neill to contact this bank and indicate that it would be among those parties contacted in the near future as part of Manhattan Bancorp's market check. The Manhattan Special Committee also discussed whether it should entertain offers related to Bank of Manhattan, apart from Manhattan Bancorp's

Table of Contents

other subsidiaries, and decided that it should entertain any and all offers in order to consider all transactions that might maximize value for Manhattan Bancorp's shareholders.

On September 7, 2011, Fund Manager presented Manhattan Bancorp and Professional Business Bank with a non-binding term sheet providing for the proposed mergers. The non-binding term sheet called for a merger of CGB Holdings with and into Professional Business Bank, in which shares of CGB Holdings common stock would be converted into shares of Professional Business Bank common stock, followed immediately by a merger of Professional Business Bank with and into Bank of Manhattan, in which the shares of Professional Business Bank common stock would be converted into shares of Manhattan Bancorp common stock. The ratio of shares of Manhattan Bancorp common stock to be exchanged for shares of Professional Business Bank common stock would be determined based on the relative book value of the common stock of the respective companies as of the end of the month preceding the month of the closing of the transactions. As part of the transactions, the outstanding $5 million balance under the Credit Agreement would be converted into shares of Manhattan Bancorp common stock at its book value per share as of the month end immediately preceding the month in which the closing occurred. This non-binding term sheet also contemplated that Manhattan Bancorp would undertake a rights offering of up to $10.0 million of its common stock following the closing at the same per share price at which the outstanding balance under the Credit Agreement was converted. The non-binding term sheet also contained other customary terms for transactions of this type, including preparation of a definitive agreement acceptable to the parties, receipt of regulatory and shareholder approvals, and a requirement that the Funds, Fund Manager and the members of the boards of directors of Manhattan Bancorp and Professional Business Bank vote their shares in favor of the transaction.

On September 8, 2011, Terry L. Robinson, Chief Executive Officer of Manhattan Bancorp, and Ms. Lenz met to commence management due diligence. From September 8, 2011 through execution of the merger agreement on November 21, 2011, each of Manhattan Bancorp and Professional Business Bank conducted due diligence reviews of the assets and business of the other party, both directly and through third party reviews by accounting, legal, and financial advisory and credit review firms.

On September 9, 2011, the PBB Merger Committee convened a meeting, which was attended by a representative of KHPB, to review in detail the progress of the negotiations, transaction structure, due diligence protocol and the non-binding term sheet that had been presented by Fund Manager on September 7, 2011.

Also on September 9, 2011, Professional Business Bank provided initial access to Manhattan Bancorp and its advisors, and on September 18, 2011, Manhattan Bancorp provided initial access to Professional Business Bank and its advisors, to an on-line, password-protected data room containing diligence documents and information for the potential merger. Business, legal and other due diligence began in earnest following the opening of the data rooms, with a series of additional supplemental diligence requests and production provided by Professional Business Bank and Manhattan Bancorp following the initial opening of the data rooms. Business, legal and other due diligence continued throughout the merger discussion process up until the signing of the definitive merger agreement on November 21, 2011.

On September 12, 2011, the Manhattan Special Committee convened a meeting, which was attended by representatives of senior management, Manatt and Sandler O'Neill, to review presentation materials prepared by Sandler O'Neill regarding the market check to be conducted and the non-binding term sheet that had been presented by Fund Manager on September 7, 2011. The presentation materials identified 24 potential parties that might have an interest in conducting a Potential Transaction with Manhattan Bancorp based on factors such as previous acquisitions and likely interest in Manhattan Bancorp's footprint. After discussions with its advisors, the Manhattan Special Committee approved the list of 24 potential parties. The Manhattan Special Committee then reviewed and discussed the presentation materials and the content of the non-binding term sheet from Fund

Manager, as well as the extent of regulatory risk and how the proposed merger might be perceived by the regulators of Bank of Manhattan. The Manhattan Special Committee directed Mr. Robinson to meet with the OCC to discuss the viability and advisability, from a regulatory point of view, of the proposed merger of Professional Business Bank into Bank of Manhattan.

On September 14, 2011, Fund Manager presented Manhattan Bancorp and Professional Business Bank with a revised non-binding term sheet providing for the proposed mergers. Based on the comments of the parties on the non-binding term sheet dated September 7, 2011, the revised non-binding term sheet proposed to base the ratio of shares of Manhattan Bancorp common stock to be exchanged for shares of Professional Business Bank common stock on the relative "tangible" book value of the common stock of the respective companies as of the end of the month preceding the month of the closing of the transactions, rather than book value including intangible assets. In addition, transaction expenses (legal, investment banking, severance and contract termination) were not to be considered in determining tangible book value for purposes of the exchange ratio. The revised non-binding term sheet also clarified that the price at which the outstanding balance under the Credit Agreement would be converted into shares of Manhattan Bancorp common stock would be based on the tangible book value per share of Manhattan Bancorp as of the end of the month preceding the closing of the transactions, but after giving pro forma effect to completion of the mergers. The transaction was restructured as a merger of CGB Holdings into Manhattan Bancorp, followed by a merger of the two banks. The term sheet also contemplated that neither Manhattan Bancorp nor Professional Business Bank would accelerate the vesting of any grants under their equity plans that did not already accelerate by their own terms without the consent of the other company. The requirement that the members of the board of directors of Manhattan Bancorp and Professional Business Bank vote their shares in favor of the merger was also removed.

On September 19, 2011, the Manhattan Special Committee convened a meeting, which was attended by representatives of senior management, Manatt and Sandler O'Neill, to review presentation materials prepared by Sandler O'Neill regarding the progress of the market check and the non-binding term sheet that had been presented by Fund Manager on September 14, 2011. Sandler O'Neill contacted 22 of 24 potential parties approved by the Manhattan Special Committee, and of the 22 parties contacted, five expressed no interest in considering a Potential Transaction, eight expressed preliminary interest, and nine had not indicated whether they had an interest. Of the eight parties that expressed preliminary interest, two executed a confidentiality agreement and proceeded with conducting preliminary due diligence on Manhattan Bancorp, while the remaining six continued to negotiate the terms of the confidentiality agreement. It was noted by Sandler O'Neill that Manhattan Bancorp could reasonably require all bids no later than October 7, 2011. The Manhattan Special Committee reviewed and discussed the revised non-binding term sheet, which included the "fiduciary out" requested by the Manhattan Special Committee, as well as a carve-out from book value for expenses associated with the proposed merger. Furthermore, the Manhattan Special Committee discussed the two merger transactions contemplated by the term sheet, as well as potential additional liability and costs to Manhattan Bancorp and dissenters' rights in connection with the two merger transactions. Mr. Robinson reported on management's due diligence investigation of Professional Business Bank through review of documentation and meetings with representatives of Professional Business Bank. Mr. Robinson also reported that Manhattan Bancorp had engaged Buccola & Associates to conduct a loan review of Professional Business Bank, which was expected to be completed in the second week of October 2011. The Manhattan Special Committee then directed management, Sandler O'Neill and Manatt to continue their due diligence review of Professional Business Bank.

On September 19, 2011, Messrs. Robinson and Jones met with representatives of the OCC to discuss the proposed merger between Bank of Manhattan and Professional Business Bank.

On September 20, 2011, Fund Manager presented Manhattan Bancorp and Professional Business Bank with a revised non-binding term sheet providing for the proposed mergers. Based on the comments of the parties on the non-binding term sheet dated September 14, 2011, the revised non-binding term sheet readopted the original deal structure of the merger of CGB Holdings into Professional Business Bank, in which CGB Holdings shares would be exchanged for shares of Professional Business Bank, followed by the merger of Professional Business Bank into Bank of Manhattan, in which Professional Business Bank shares would be exchanged for shares of Manhattan Bancorp, and provided that the ratio of shares of Manhattan Bancorp common stock to be exchanged for shares of Professional Business Bank common stock would be based on the relative book value of the common stock of the respective companies (including intangible assets) as of the end of the month preceding the month of the closing of the transactions, rather than on tangible book value.

Also on September 20, 2011, the PBB Merger Committee interviewed representatives of Davidson by phone respecting the possible retention of Davidson to provide investment advisory services to Professional Business Bank.

On September 21, 2011, the PBB Board convened a meeting, which was attended by a representative of KHPB, to consider the September 20, 2011 non-binding term sheet and to receive reports from the PBB Merger Committee and management on the progress of the discussions, as well as potential vendors to provide due diligence on Manhattan Bancorp and its subsidiaries and investment banking firms to render a fairness opinion respecting the consideration to be received by Professional Business Bank shareholders. Also at this meeting, Messrs. Flemming, Jacobson and Robinson of Manhattan Bancorp reviewed the business of Manhattan Bancorp and its affiliated companies with the PBB Board, and answered questions respecting the business of these companies.

On September 22, 2011, Fund Manager presented Manhattan Bancorp and Professional Business Bank with a revised non-binding term sheet providing for the proposed mergers, containing substantially the same terms as contemplated by the September 20, 2011 non-binding term sheet.

Also on September 22, 2011, the Manhattan Board convened a meeting, which was attended by representatives of senior management and Manatt, to review, among other things, the status of the market check and the negotiations with Professional Business Bank.

On September 26, 2011, the Manhattan Special Committee convened a meeting, which was attended by representatives of senior management, Manatt and Sandler O'Neill, to review presentation materials prepared by Sandler O'Neill regarding the progress of the market check and the non-binding term sheet that had been presented by Fund Manager on September 22, 2011. Sandler O'Neill contacted all 24 potential parties approved by the Manhattan Special Committee, and of those, 11 expressed no interest in considering a Potential Transaction, 10 expressed preliminary interest, and three had not indicated whether they had an interest. Of the 10 parties that expressed preliminary interest, eight executed a confidentiality agreement and proceeded with conducting preliminary due diligence on Manhattan Bancorp, while the remaining two continued to negotiate the terms of the confidentiality agreement. After discussion, the Manhattan Special Committee agreed that the deadline for interested parties to submit bids would be October 7, 2011, subject to extension in the Manhattan Special Committee's sole discretion. The Manhattan Special Committee reviewed and discussed the revised non-binding term sheet from Fund Manager. The Manhattan Special Committee also reviewed a summary overview prepared for the OCC dated September 19, 2011, which was provided to representatives of the OCC at a meeting held on September 19, 2011. Mr. Robinson gave a summary of the meeting to the Manhattan Special Committee, which included his opinion that the representatives of the OCC appeared receptive to the potential for a merger of Professional Business Bank into Bank of Manhattan. Mr. Robinson then provided the Manhattan Special Committee with an overview of Professional Business Bank and its banking franchise. The Manhattan Special Committee also discussed the preliminary pro forma balance sheet and income statement of the combined entity,

and directed management, Sandler O'Neill and Manatt to continue their due diligence review of Professional Business Bank.

On September 30, 2011, the Manhattan Special Committee convened a meeting, which was attended by representatives of senior management, Manatt and Sandler O'Neill, to review presentation materials prepared by Sandler O'Neill regarding the progress of the market check and the non-binding term sheet that had been presented by Fund Manager on September 22, 2011. Sandler O'Neill explained the process for interested parties to submit indicative bids as well as the information to be included in such bids, and reported on its intention to send a protocol letter to each interested party on or about October 3, 2011, identifying the October 7, 2011 deadline for submitting bids and requesting that each bid include certain standardized information. Sandler O'Neill then provided the Manhattan Special Committee with an update on its due diligence review of Professional Business Bank, including its review of the loan portfolio of Professional Business Bank. The Manhattan Special Committee also discussed the remaining outstanding issues in the non-binding term sheet provided by Fund Manager on September 22, 2011, including provisions regarding Manhattan Bancorp's outstanding obligations under the Credit Agreement.

On October 8, 2011, Professional Business Bank retained Davidson to assist in the due diligence process respecting Manhattan Bancorp and to render a fairness opinion respecting the exchange ratio used to determine the fairness, from a financial point of view, of the stock consideration to be received by Professional Business Bank shareholders in the bank merger concurrent with the execution of the definitive agreement for the transaction with Manhattan Bancorp.

On October 12, 2011, the Manhattan Special Committee convened a meeting, which was attended by representatives of senior management, Manatt and Sandler O'Neill, to review presentation materials prepared by Sandler O'Neill regarding the results of the recently concluded market check. Sandler O'Neill reported that Professional Business Bank and two other parties had provided an indicative bid prior to the October 7, 2011 deadline. Five other parties had signed a confidentiality agreement and conducted due diligence on Manhattan Bancorp, but had not submitted an indicative bid prior to the deadline, while 16 other parties had either not signed a confidentiality agreement or had no initial interest in exploring a Potential Transaction with Manhattan Bancorp. Sandler O'Neill also explained that it had contacted the five parties that had conducted due diligence and not submitted bids and did not expect to receive additional bids, even if the deadline was extended beyond October 7, 2011.

The first indicative bid, which was submitted by the Southern California based community bank that previously expressed an interest in acquiring the banking operations of Bank of Manhattan, contemplated an acquisition of Manhattan Bancorp in exchange for cash and shares of the common stock of the acquiring bank on an "adjusted" tangible book value basis. "Adjusted" tangible book value, for this purpose, meant the tangible book value of Manhattan Bancorp at closing, less the product of 3% multiplied by Manhattan Bancorp's gross loans outstanding, and less the amount of $1.5 million. The acquiring bank would not acquire Manhattan Bancorp's ownership interest in MCM, and Manhattan Bancorp would be responsible for the disposition or wind-down of MCM prior to closing. Based on the acquiring bank's closing stock price as of October 12, 2012 and the projected tangible book value of Manhattan Bancorp as of December 31, 2011, Sandler O'Neill reported that each share of Manhattan Bancorp common stock would be exchanged for $1.74 in cash plus a fraction of a share of the common stock of the acquiring bank having a value of $1.24, representing aggregate consideration of $2.98 per share of Manhattan Bancorp common stock.

The second indicative bid contemplated an acquisition of Manhattan Bancorp in exchange for cash in an amount equal to the tangible book value of the core banking operations of Bank of Manhattan at closing, plus a 3% deposit premium not to exceed $3.3 million. The acquiring bank would not acquire Manhattan Bancorp's ownership interest in MCM, the mortgage lending operations of Bank of Manhattan, or Bank of Manhattan's headquarters and associated lease. Manhattan Bancorp would be

Table of Contents

responsible for the disposition or wind-down of these excluded items prior to closing. Sandler O'Neill reported that, based on its sensitivity analysis of the exit costs associated with the excluded items and the projected tangible book value of the core banking operations of Bank of Manhattan as of December 31, 2011, the likely per share cash consideration would range between $2.74 and $3.74.

The Manhattan Special Committee reviewed pro forma analyses of each of the combined banks that would result from each of the Potential Transactions represented by the bids and discussed the terms of each offer, including the value to be received by Manhattan Bancorp's shareholders under each offer as of the closing of the transaction, the present value of such transaction in five years utilizing a variety of assumptions, the form of consideration to be received by Manhattan Bancorp's shareholders under each offer, the execution risk associated with each offer, and the incremental value to be provided to Manhattan Bancorp's shareholders by the inclusion of a rights offering following a potential merger with Professional Business Bank. As a result of this review, the Manhattan Special Committee unanimously concluded that a merger of Professional Business Bank with Bank of Manhattan represented the transaction that best met Manhattan Bancorp's capital requirements while providing Manhattan Bancorp's shareholders with the highest value. Among other things, the Manhattan Special Committee noted that the consideration to be received by Manhattan Bancorp's shareholders in the transaction with Professional Business Bank had a greater expected net present value in five years than the consideration to be received by Manhattan Bancorp's shareholders in the other two transactions, and that the execution risk to Manhattan Bancorp in closing a Potential Transaction, including those presented by the obligation to dispose of certain business segments and/or lease obligations and other conditions to closing, was more favorable in the proposed transaction with Professional Business Bank than in the transactions contemplated by the other two proposals. The members of the Manhattan Special Committee voted unanimously to approve the non-binding term sheet with Fund Manager and Professional Business Bank and to recommend to the Manhattan Board that it do the same.

On October 17, 2011, the Manhattan Board convened a meeting, which was attended by representatives of senior management, Manatt and Sandler O'Neill, to review the results of the recently completed market check and to consider the recommendation of the Manhattan Special Committee with respect to the proposed merger with Professional Business Bank. Because of their affiliation with Fund Manager and the Funds, Messrs. Flemming and Yost attended only that portion of the meeting where the Manhattan Board was advised of the results of the market check, but exited the meeting prior to any discussion regarding the advisability of any Potential Transaction involving Manhattan Bancorp. Sandler O'Neill reported that Professional Business Bank and two other parties had provided an indicative bid prior to the October 7, 2011 deadline established by the Manhattan Special Committee. Five other parties had signed a confidentiality agreement and conducted due diligence on Manhattan Bancorp, but had not submitted an indicative bid prior to the deadline, while 16 other parties had either not signed a confidentiality agreement or had no initial interest in exploring a Potential Transaction with Manhattan Bancorp. The Manhattan Board reviewed pro forma analyses of each of the combined banks that would result from each of the Potential Transactions represented by the bids and discussed the terms of each offer, including the value to be received by Manhattan Bancorp's shareholders under each offer as of the closing of the transaction, the present value of such transaction in five years utilizing a variety of assumptions, the form of consideration to be received by Manhattan Bancorp's shareholders under each offer, the execution risk associate with each offer, and the incremental value to be provided to Manhattan Bancorp by the inclusion of a rights offering following a potential merger with Professional Business Bank. After receiving a report from the Manhattan Special Committee regarding the market check process, the terms of the non-binding term sheet providing for a merger between Bank of Manhattan and Professional Business Bank, as well as the unanimous recommendation of the Manhattan Special Committee that the Manhattan Board approve the non-binding term sheet, the Manhattan Board (with Messrs. Flemming and Yost abstaining) unanimously determined that a merger of Professional Business Bank with Bank of

Manhattan represented the transaction that best met Manhattan Bancorp's capital requirements while providing Manhattan Bancorp's shareholders with the highest value, and approved the execution of the non-binding term sheet with Fund Manager and Professional Business Bank.

On October 18, 2011, the PBB Merger Committee convened a meeting, which was attended by a representative of KHPB, and approved the execution of the non-binding term sheet with Fund Manager, Manhattan Bancorp and Bank of Manhattan.

Also on October 18, 2011, Manhattan Bancorp, Professional Business Bank, Bank of Manhattan, Fund Manager and CGB Holdings executed a non-binding term sheet providing for the merger of CGB Holdings into Professional Business Bank, followed by the merger of Professional Business Bank into Bank of Manhattan. Based on the comments of the parties on the non-binding term sheet dated September 22, 2011, the final non-binding term sheet eliminated the conversion of the outstanding balance under the Credit Agreement into shares of Manhattan Bancorp common stock, requiring that the outstanding balance instead be repaid in accordance with its terms.

On October 27, 2011, the Manhattan Board convened a meeting, which was attended by representatives of senior management and Manatt, to review, among other things, the status of negotiations with Professional Business Bank. Mr. Robinson provided the Manhattan Board with a report on management's due diligence review on Professional Business Bank.

On November 2, 2011, Professional Business Bank provided an initial draft of the merger agreement to Manhattan Bancorp.

On November 4, 2011, the Manhattan Special Committee convened a meeting, which was attended by representatives of senior management, Manatt and Sandler O'Neill, to review the initial draft of the merger agreement.

Between November 4, 2011 and November 16, 2011, representatives of Manhattan Bancorp, Professional Business Bank and Fund Manager continued negotiations regarding the terms and conditions of the merger agreement, including specifically the "fiduciary out" provision to be extended to Manhattan Bancorp respecting Manhattan Bancorp's "no shop" obligations should an unsolicited superior proposal be made to Manhattan Bancorp. On November 11, 2011, a revised draft of the merger agreement was delivered by Professional Business Bank to Manhattan Bancorp setting forth the proposed break-up fee of $300,000 plus reimbursement of up to $450,000 in expenses to be paid to Professional Business Bank by Manhattan Bancorp should the "fiduciary out" be exercised.

On November 16, 2011, the Manhattan Special Committee convened a meeting, which was attended by representatives of senior management, Manatt and Sandler O'Neill, to conduct final evaluations and deliberations on whether to approve the merger agreement and the transactions contemplated by the merger agreement. Sandler O'Neill reviewed with the Manhattan Special Committee the structure and other terms of the proposed mergers, financial information regarding Professional Business Bank, Manhattan Bancorp and the proposed mergers and information regarding peer companies and comparable transactions. Manatt made a presentation to the Manhattan Special Committee regarding the material terms and conditions of the merger agreement, answered the members' questions, and outlined the significant issues that had been resolved. Manatt next discussed with the Manhattan Special Committee the legal standards applicable to the Manhattan Board's decisions and actions with respect to its consideration of the proposed mergers. Following these discussions, and review and discussion among the members of the Manhattan Special Committee, the Manhattan Special Committee unanimously determined that the transactions contemplated by the merger agreement and related transactions and agreements, including the mergers, were advisable and in the best interests of Manhattan Bancorp and its shareholders, and the members voted unanimously to approve the merger agreement and the transactions contemplated under the merger agreement and to recommend to the Manhattan Board that it do the same.

On November 16, 2011, the PBB Board convened a meeting, which was attended by representatives of Davidson and KHPB, their financial and legal advisors, to conduct final evaluations and deliberations on whether to approve the merger agreement and the transactions contemplated by the merger agreement. Davidson reviewed with the PBB Board the structure and terms of the proposed mergers, as well as financial data on both Manhattan Bancorp and Professional Business Bank and information on comparable transactions. Davidson rendered its oral opinion, subsequently confirmed in writing on November 21, 2011, the day of execution of the merger agreement, as described under "Opinions of Manhattan Bancorp and Professional Business Bank Financial Advisors—Opinion of Professional Business Bank's Financial Advisor." Based upon and subject to the considerations set forth in the opinion and such other matters as Davidson considered relevant, Davidson opined that as of the date of the opinion the exchange ratio was fair, from a financial point of view, to the shareholders of Professional Business Bank. KHPB then reviewed the legal terms of the merger agreement with the directors, noting that the final form of the merger agreement was subject to minor changes depending on the review by each party setting forth exceptions to the representations, warranties, and covenants considered in the merger agreement. A KHPB representative indicated that this process should be completed within a few days. The PBB Board expressed its concern that the Credit Agreement be amended concurrent with the execution of the merger agreement to release the lien on all the Bank of Manhattan common stock, which was pledged as collateral to secure the performance of Manhattan Bancorp's obligations under the Credit Agreement. Following these discussions, and review and discussion among the members of the PBB Board, including consideration of the factors described under "Professional Business Bank's Reasons for the Bank Merger; Recommendation of Merger Agreement by the PBB Board," the PBB Board determined that the merger agreement and transactions were in the best interest of the shareholders of Professional Business Bank, and approved the merger agreement and the transactions contemplated by the merger agreement, and authorized Mr. Jones and Ms. Lenz to approve any final changes to the terms of the merger agreement and to execute the merger agreement.

On November 17, 2011, the Manhattan Board convened a meeting, which was attended by representatives of senior management and Manatt, to review, among other things, the status of the negotiations with Professional Business Bank and the recommendation of the Manhattan Special Committee with respect to the merger between Bank of Manhattan and Professional Business Bank. It was noted that all members of the Manhattan Board would be provided with a draft of the merger agreement for their review in advance of a meeting of the Manhattan Board scheduled for November 21, 2011.

On November 21, 2011, the Manhattan Board convened a meeting, which was attended by representatives of senior management, Manatt and Sandler O'Neill, to conduct final evaluations and deliberations on whether to approve the merger agreement and the transactions contemplated by the merger agreement. Because of their affiliation with Fund Manager and the Funds, Mr. Flemming attended only that portion of the meeting where the Manhattan Board was advised of the terms of the proposed bank merger by Manatt and of the fairness of the proposed merger by Sandler O'Neill, but exited the meeting prior to any discussion regarding the advisability of entering into the merger agreement with Professional Business Bank, and Mr. Yost did not attend any portion of the meeting. Representatives of the Manhattan Special Committee began by reviewing for the Manhattan Board the background of discussions with Professional Business Bank and the progress of negotiations and reported on Manhattan Bancorp's due diligence investigation of Professional Business Bank. Manatt then discussed with the Manhattan Board the material terms and conditions of the merger agreement, answered the directors' questions, and outlined the significant issues that had been resolved. Manatt next discussed the legal standards applicable to the Manhattan Board's decisions and actions with respect to its consideration of the proposed mergers. Sandler O'Neill next reviewed with the Manhattan Board the structure and other terms of the proposed mergers, financial information regarding Professional Business Bank, Manhattan Bancorp and the proposed merger and information regarding

peer companies and comparable transactions. Sandler O'Neill rendered to the Manhattan Board its oral opinion, subsequently confirmed in writing, as described under "—Opinions of Manhattan Bancorp and Professional Business Bank Financial Advisors—Opinion of Manhattan Bancorp's Financial Advisor," that, based upon and subject to the considerations set forth in the opinion and based upon such other matters as Sandler O'Neill considered relevant, the exchange ratio was fair, from a financial point of view, to the shareholders of Manhattan Bancorp as of the date of the opinion. Following these discussions, and review and discussion among the members of the Manhattan Board, including consideration of the recommendation of the Manhattan Special Committee and the other factors described under "—Manhattan Bancorp's Reasons for the Bank Merger; Recommendation of the Manhattan Special Committee and Manhattan Board," the Manhattan Board (with Messrs. Flemming and Yost abstaining) determined that the transactions contemplated by the merger agreement and related transactions and agreements, including the mergers, were advisable and in the best interests of Manhattan Bancorp and its shareholders, and approved the merger agreement and the transactions contemplated under the merger agreement, resolved to recommend that Manhattan Bancorp shareholders approve the merger agreement, and directed that this matter be submitted for consideration by Manhattan Bancorp's shareholders at a shareholders' meeting.

The merger agreement was executed on November 21, 2011, and the proposed mergers were announced the following day in a news release jointly issued by Professional Business Bank and Manhattan Bancorp. Since the execution of the merger agreement, neither Manhattan Bancorp nor Professional Business Bank has received any indications of interest from third parties with respect to any acquisition proposal.

Manhattan Bancorp's Reasons for the Bank Merger; Recommendation of the Manhattan Special Committee and Manhattan Board

Both the Manhattan Special Committee and the Manhattan Board have determined that the merger agreement and the transactions contemplated by the merger agreement are fair to and in the best interests of Manhattan Bancorp and its shareholders. The Manhattan Special Committee, which is comprised solely of directors who are independent of Fund Manager and the Funds, met, along with its legal and financial advisors, a total of 10 times between August 25, 2011, the day the Manhattan Special Committee was formed to review and assess potential capital raising alternatives and other extraordinary transactions in the context of Manhattan Bancorp's strategic alternatives, and November 16, 2011, the day the committee met to consider whether to approve the merger agreement and the transactions contemplated by the merger agreement, and unanimously recommended to the Manhattan Board that it approve the merger agreement. After considering the unanimous recommendation of the Manhattan Special Committee, the Manhattan Board approved and declared advisable the merger agreement and the transactions contemplated by the merger agreement and resolved to recommend to Manhattan Bancorp shareholders that they vote for the approval of the merger agreement.

In reaching its determination and making its recommendation, the Manhattan Special Committee consulted with its legal and financial advisors, as well as certain members of management and directors not on the Manhattan Special Committee, and considered a number of factors, including the following material factors, which are not listed in any relative order of importance:

•

its belief that the bank merger is an important strategic transaction offering substantial near term and long range benefits and opportunities for Manhattan Bancorp, its shareholders and the communities it serves. In this connection, the Manhattan Special Committee considered the following:

•: the bank merger will expand the presence of Bank of Manhattan through the addition of Professional Business Bank's offices in locations not currently served by Manhattan Bancorp;

Table of Contents

•: the increased size of the resulting company will enhance its image in the marketplace and will better position the combined bank to acquire other companies as appropriate opportunities arise;
•: management's expectations regarding cost synergies, including the expectation that, assuming the bank merger closed in the fourth quarter of 2011, the combined bank will realize annual cost savings of approximately $4 million on a pre-tax basis phased in over the two-year period following the consummation of the bank merger, including approximately $2.5 million of estimated cost savings from reductions in the number of employees, with the remaining savings coming primarily from reduced infrastructural costs;
•: management's expectations regarding earnings accretion, including the expectation that, assuming the bank merger closed in the fourth quarter of 2011, the transaction is expected to be accretive to estimated Manhattan Bancorp's earnings per share in 2012 and 2013 by $1.21 and $1.58, respectively;
•: while management's forecasted synergies from the bank merger did not include projected effects of any revenue enhancements, management believes the bank merger will create opportunities for incremental revenues from, among other things, cross-marketing of banking products and services;
•: the combined bank will be able to invest more resources in risk management infrastructure;

•: its belief that the "merger of equals" nature of the transaction, as well as the familiarity of the board of directors and management of Manhattan Bancorp with the board of directors and management of Professional Business Bank, and the generally similar nature of the banks' respective businesses and customer bases, should facilitate integration of the two companies;
•: its belief that the acquisition of control of the combined bank by the Funds, which currently control approximately 43% of the common stock of Manhattan Bancorp and 90% of the common stock of Professional Business Bank, will facilitate integration of the two banks and create increased value for shareholders of each of Manhattan Bancorp and Professional Business Bank;
•: the potential value of other strategic alternatives, including the alternative of remaining an independent public company, considering, in particular, Manhattan Bancorp's immediate capital needs and the many business risks associated with remaining independent;
•: historical information concerning Manhattan Bancorp's and Professional Business Bank's respective businesses, financial performance and financial condition, as well as their respective operations, management, competitive position and stock performance;
•: the alternatives reasonably available to Manhattan Bancorp if it did not pursue the bank merger with Professional Business Bank, including the possibilities of pursuing a merger with another financial institution and its conclusion that a merger with Professional Business Bank offered the highest value and best available strategic fit and opportunity;
•: its view of Professional Business Bank's business, operations, financial condition, asset quality, earnings and prospects, based in part on its review of Professional Business Bank and discussions with Manhattan Bancorp's management about Manhattan Bancorp's due diligence examination of Professional Business Bank, and its view that the bank merger would result in a combined bank with a strong capital position and attractive deposit franchise;
•: the financial analyses presented by Sandler O'Neill, Manhattan Bancorp's financial advisor;
•: the current and historical market price of Manhattan Bancorp common stock;

Table of Contents

•

the terms of the merger agreement taken as a whole, which it reviewed with its outside financial and legal advisors, including:

•: its determination that an exchange ratio that is "floating," meaning that it is subject to adjustment to reflect changes in book value of the two companies, is appropriate to reflect the strategic purpose of the bank merger; and
•: the ability of the Manhattan Board, under certain circumstances, to (i) withhold, withdraw, qualify or modify its recommendation to shareholders to vote in favor of the bank merger, (ii) provide information to, and participate in discussions and negotiations with, third parties regarding unsolicited acquisition proposals, and (iii) approve a superior proposal and terminate the merger agreement, in each case subject to an obligation to pay Professional Business Bank a termination fee and to reimburse Professional Business Bank, CGB Holdings and Fund Manager for certain expenses relating to the merger agreement;

•

its understanding of the current and prospective environment in which Manhattan Bancorp and Professional Business Bank operate and will operate, including national and local economic conditions, the competitive environment for financial institutions generally, the continuing trends of industry consolidation and increasing costs resulting in part from regulatory and legislative mandates, which it believes favor efficiencies from a greater scale of operations, and the likely effect of these factors on Manhattan Bancorp both with and without the proposed transaction; and

•

the availability of statutory dissenters' rights to the shareholders who are entitled to demand and have properly demanded such rights and have complied with all of the other required procedures under California law for exercising dissenters' rights, which require Manhattan Bancorp to purchase at their fair market value the shares of Manhattan Bancorp common stock owned by such holders of dissenting shares, as described in "—Dissenters' Rights for Professional Business Bank and Manhattan Bancorp Shareholders."

The Manhattan Special Committee also considered a variety of potentially negative factors in its deliberations concerning the merger agreement and the bank merger, including the following, which are not listed in any relative order of importance:

•: there is no assurance that all of the conditions to the parties' obligations to complete the bank merger will be satisfied and the bank merger consummated, including the condition of obtaining the required bank regulatory approvals, which is a condition to the consummation of the bank merger that cannot be waived;
•: the risks associated with the integration of the two companies and the risk that potential benefits and synergies sought from the bank merger may not be realized, or may not be realized within the time period expected;
•: the risk that the process of integrating the businesses of Manhattan Bancorp and Professional Business Bank does not proceed as planned, and it may in turn have an adverse effect on Manhattan Bancorp's relationships with its customers and ultimately impact Manhattan Bancorp's profitability;
•: the provisions of the merger agreement designed to restrict the ability of Manhattan Bancorp to seek or entertain third party acquisition proposals, subject to certain exceptions that would apply if necessary to enable directors to comply with their fiduciary duties, and the provisions of the merger agreement providing for the payment of a termination fee of $300,000 and the reimbursement of merger agreement related expenses of up to $450,000;

Table of Contents

•: the restrictions contained in the merger agreement on the conduct of Manhattan Bancorp's business prior to the completion of the bank merger, which are customary for merger agreements involving financial institutions and which are consistent with those placed on Professional Business Bank under the merger agreement, but which, subject to specific exceptions, could delay or prevent Manhattan Bancorp from undertaking business opportunities that may arise or any other action it would otherwise take with respect to the operations of Manhattan Bancorp absent the pending completion of the bank merger;
•: the significant risks and costs involved in connection with entering into and completing the bank merger, or failing to complete the bank merger in a timely manner, or at all, including as a result of any failure to obtain required regulatory approvals, such as the risks and costs relating to diversion of management and employee attention, potential employee attrition, and the potential effect on business and customer relationships;
•: the fact that the Funds, which currently collectively control approximately 43% of the common stock of Manhattan Bancorp and 90% of the common stock of Professional Business Bank, are expected to acquire effective control of Manhattan Bancorp after the bank merger; and
•: the fact that, because the bank merger consideration will be determined on the basis of a floating exchange ratio of shares of Manhattan Bancorp common stock for Professional Business Bank common stock, Manhattan Bancorp shareholders could be adversely affected by a decrease in the book value of Manhattan Bancorp common stock, or an increase in the book value of Professional Business Bank common stock, during the pendency of the bank merger.

The foregoing discussion of the information and factors considered by the Manhattan Special Committee is not exhaustive, but is intended to include the material factors considered by the Manhattan Special Committee. In view of the variety of factors considered in connection with its evaluation of the bank merger, the Manhattan Special Committee did not find it practicable to, and did not, quantify or otherwise assign relative weights to the specific factors considered in reaching its determination and recommendation. In addition, individual members of the Manhattan Special Committee may have given different weights to different factors. The Manhattan Special Committee also did not undertake to make any specific determination as to whether any factor was decisive in reaching its ultimate determination. The Manhattan Special Committee instead based its recommendation on the totality of the information presented.

In reaching the conclusion that the merger agreement and the transactions contemplated by the merger agreement are fair to and in the best interests of Manhattan Bancorp and its shareholders, and in approving the merger agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby, the Manhattan Board considered a number of factors, including the following material factors, which are not listed in any relative order of importance:

•: the determination of the Manhattan Special Committee that the merger agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby are fair to and in the best interests of Manhattan Bancorp and its shareholders;
•: the unanimous recommendation of the Manhattan Special Committee that the Manhattan Board approve the merger agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby;
•: the financial analyses presented by Sandler O'Neill, Manhattan Bancorp's financial advisor, and the opinion of Sandler O'Neill delivered on November 21, 2011, to the effect that, as of the date of such opinion, and based upon and subject to the assumptions, limitations, qualifications and conditions described in Sandler O'Neill's opinion, the exchange ratio provided for in the merger agreement for determining the amount of Manhattan Bancorp common stock to be issued to the holders of Professional Business Bank common stock in exchange for their shares was fair, from a financial point of view, to the Manhattan Bancorp shareholders, as more fully described below

Table of Contents

under the caption "—Opinions of Manhattan Bancorp and Professional Business Bank Financial Advisors—Opinion of Manhattan Bancorp's Financial Advisor" beginning on page 57; and

•: the factors referred to above as having been taken into account by the Manhattan Special Committee.

The Manhattan Board also considered a number of factors that are discussed below relating to the procedural safeguards that it believes were and are present to ensure the fairness of the bank merger. The Manhattan Board believes these factors support its determinations and recommendations and provide assurance of the procedural fairness of the bank merger to the Manhattan Bancorp shareholders:

•: the Manhattan Special Committee consists solely of independent directors, none of whom (i) are employees of Manhattan Bancorp or any of its subsidiaries, (ii) are affiliated with Fund Manager, the Funds or CGB Holdings, or (iii) have a financial interest in the bank merger that is different from that of the shareholders;
•: the Manhattan Special Committee met regularly to discuss Manhattan Bancorp's strategic alternatives and was advised by financial and legal advisors, and each member of the Manhattan Special Committee was actively engaged in the process;
•: the Manhattan Special Committee made all material decisions relating to Manhattan Bancorp's strategic alternatives beginning on August 25, 2011, including recommending to the Manhattan Board that Manhattan Bancorp enter into the merger agreement;
•: the process undertaken by the Manhattan Special Committee and its financial and legal advisors in connection with evaluating, negotiating and approving the merger agreement, including the extensive pre-signing market check, as described in "—Background of the Merger";
•: the financial and other terms and conditions of the merger agreement were the product of arm's-length negotiations between the Manhattan Special Committee and its advisors, on the one hand, and Professional Business Bank and its advisors, on the other hand;
•: the Manhattan Special Committee received the advice and assistance of its financial and legal advisors;
•: the ability of the Manhattan Board, under certain circumstances, to (i) withhold, withdraw, qualify or modify its recommendation to shareholders to vote in favor of the bank merger, (ii) provide information to, and participate in discussions and negotiations with, third parties regarding unsolicited acquisition proposals, and (iii) approve a superior proposal and terminate the merger agreement, in each case subject to an obligation to pay Professional Business Bank a termination fee and to reimburse Professional Business Bank, CGB Holdings and Fund Manager for certain expenses relating to the merger agreement; and
•: the availability of statutory dissenters' rights to the shareholders who are entitled to demand and have properly demanded such rights and have complied with all of the other required procedures under California law for exercising dissenters' rights, which require Manhattan Bancorp to purchase at their fair market value the shares of Manhattan Bancorp common stock owned by such holders of dissenting shares, as described in "—Dissenters' Rights for Professional Business Bank and Manhattan Bancorp Shareholders."

The foregoing discussion of the information and factors considered by the Manhattan Board is not exhaustive, but is intended to include the material factors considered by the Manhattan Board. In view of the variety of factors considered in connection with its evaluation of the bank merger, the Manhattan Board did not find it practicable to, and did not, quantify or otherwise assign relative weights to the specific factors considered in reaching its determination and recommendation. In addition, individual members of the Manhattan Board may have given different weights to different factors. The Manhattan Board also did not undertake to make any specific determination as to whether

any factor was decisive in reaching its ultimate determination. The Manhattan Board instead based its recommendation on the totality of the information presented.

THE MANHATTAN BANCORP BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS THAT YOU VOTE "FOR" THE PROPOSAL TO APPROVE THE MERGER AGREEMENT AND "FOR" THE PROPOSAL TO ADJOURN THE SPECIAL MEETING, IF NECESSARY OR APPROPRIATE, TO SOLICIT ADDITIONAL PROXIES AND VOTES IN FAVOR OF THE APPROVAL OF THE MERGER AGREEMENT.

In considering the recommendation of the Manhattan Board with respect to the proposal to approve the merger agreement, Manhattan Bancorp shareholders should be aware that certain persons, including Manhattan Bancorp's directors and executive officers and Fund Manager and the Funds, have interests in the bank merger that are different from, or in addition to, those of other Manhattan Bancorp shareholders. The Manhattan Special Committee and the Manhattan Board were aware of and considered these interests, among other matters, in evaluating and negotiating the merger agreement and the bank merger and in recommending that the merger agreement be approved by Manhattan Bancorp's shareholders. See "—Interests of Certain Persons in the Mergers" beginning on page 75.

In addition, please note that this explanation of the reasoning of the Manhattan Special Committee and the Manhattan Board and other information presented in this section includes statements that are forward-looking in nature and, therefore, should be read in light of the factors discussed under the heading "Caution Regarding Forward-Looking Statements" on page 21.

Professional Business Bank's Reasons for the Mergers; Recommendation of the PBB Board

At a meeting held on November 16, 2011, after a careful review of the facts and circumstances relating to the mergers, by unanimous vote, the PBB Board (i) approved and declared advisable the merger agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby, (ii) determined that the terms of the merger agreement and the mergers and the other transactions contemplated thereby were fair to, and in the best interests of, Professional Business Bank and its shareholders and (iii) resolved to recommend that Professional Business Bank shareholders adopt and approve the merger agreement and directed that this matter be submitted for consideration of Professional Business Bank shareholders at a shareholders' meeting.

In reaching its decision, the PBB Board considered the condition of the Southern California community banking sector and concluded that consolidation was likely to occur among the community banks serving Southern California small businesses. The PBB Board determined that it would be important for Professional Business Bank to grow in order to maintain and enhance its competitive position. The PBB Board evaluated a number of growth alternatives, including organic growth and the possibility of growing through acquisitions or establishing a strategic relationship with a major bank, and decided that a combination with another bank serving the Southern California business community offered the best prospects for sustainable growth. In consultation with its financial and legal advisors, the PBB Board evaluated the other banks serving the Southern California business community, including their business base, operating results, financial condition, asset quality, management, branch locations and institutional culture, and concluded that, among such banks, a combination with Bank of Manhattan likely offered the best prospects.

The mergers would create a Southern California community banking company with approximately $397 million in assets, $269 million in gross loans (which excludes allowances for loan and lease losses, but includes loans-available-for-sale), $324 million in deposits, $54 in total equity (or $52 million in tangible equity) as of September 30, 2011, with branch locations in Pasadena, Glendale, Montebello and El Segundo, and mortgage offices in San Diego, Calabasas and West Los Angeles. The PBB Board believed that the proposed merger with Bank of Manhattan would position the combined bank to

Table of Contents

compete more effectively against its competitors in the changing economic and regulatory environment by, among other things:

•: strengthening the combined bank's presence in its core markets while expanding its footprint into the South Bay markets where Professional Business Bank currently does not have a presence;
•: creating opportunities to leverage complementary business lines across a larger customer base, while improving customer service as a result of an expanded branch and distribution network and expanded and improved product offerings;
•: enabling more efficient operations through increased scale and synergies of the combined bank;
•: enhancing the combined bank's ability to grow organically or through acquisitions;
•: enhancing the ability of the combined bank to access the capital markets, particularly in light of evolving regulatory requirements calling for increased capital; and
•: improving the combined bank's ability to compete with larger Southern California community banks and other competitors in trade finance relationships and to seek new lending opportunities from small businesses in light of the combined bank's increased lending limit.

In reaching its decision and making its recommendation, the PBB Board also considered the following additional material factors:

•: the quality and experience of Manhattan Bancorp's board and management;
•: the current environment in the financial services industry, including national and regional economic conditions, continued consolidation in the financial services industry (including the perceived need for consolidation in the Southern California community banking sector), regulatory compliance requirements, local competition (including competition in the Southern California community banking sector), and the likely effect of these factors on Professional Business Bank on both a stand-alone basis and in the context of the proposed merger;
•: the consistency of the mergers with Professional Business Bank's business strategies, including achieving strong earnings growth, improving customer attraction and retention and focusing on expense control, and the PBB Board's conclusion after its analysis that Professional Business Bank and Bank of Manhattan are a complementary fit due to the nature of the markets served and products offered by Professional Business Bank and Bank of Manhattan and the expectation that the mergers would provide economies of scale, expanded product offerings, expanded opportunities for cross-selling, cost savings opportunities, and enhanced opportunities for growth;
•: the expectation that the mergers would be accretive to earnings in light of the potential cost savings and revenue enhancements;
•: the increase in overall assets to approximately $397 million and the increased market capitalization are anticipated to increase the combined bank's access to equity and debt markets;
•: the benefits of the proposed merger as compared with maintaining Professional Business Bank as a stand-alone entity, including the PBB Board's observation that the combined bank should be able to compete more effectively in the current market as a result of its broader base of branches, economies of scale and higher lending limits, its consideration of the likelihood that there would be further consolidation in the Southern California community banking sector, making it more difficult for smaller institutions to compete, Professional Business Bank's historical revenues and revenue expectations over the near and long term, its prospects for achieving continued revenue and earnings growth on an independent basis and as part of the combined bank, the execution risks involved in implementing Professional Business Bank's growth strategies on a stand-alone basis, the increasingly competitive environment for small community banks, the increased regulatory burden expected to arise from the implementation of the Dodd-Frank Act and the earnings and growth challenges of doing business in Professional

Table of Contents

Business Bank's market area, and its conclusion that the combined bank would likely have superior future earnings and prospects compared to Professional Business Bank's earnings and prospects on an independent basis;

•: the financial analyses presented by Davidson at the November 16, 2011 meeting of the PBB Board and the opinion of Davidson, delivered at the November 16, 2011 meeting (and subsequently confirmed in writing on November 21, 2011), to the effect that, as of that date and based upon and subject to the limitations, qualifications, factors and assumptions set forth in the written opinion, the exchange ratio to be received by Professional Business Bank shareholders pursuant to the merger agreement was fair, from a financial point of view, to such holders, the full text of which, setting forth the assumptions made, procedures followed, matters considered and limitations on the review undertaken in connection with the opinion, is attached as Annex C hereto and is incorporated herein by reference, and, which is further discussed in "—Opinions of Manhattan Bancorp and Professional Business Bank Financial Advisors—Opinion of Professional Business Bank's Financial Advisor" below;
•: the PBB Board's belief that the terms of the merger agreement were fair and reasonable to Professional Business Bank and its shareholders, including, among other terms, the adequacy of the exchange ratio as further discussed above, the covenants of Professional Business Bank and Manhattan Bancorp under the merger agreement, including covenants relating to efforts to obtain regulatory approvals, the limited ability of either party to terminate the merger agreement, the limited conditions to closing, and the limitations and exceptions included in the definition of material adverse effect, which term is used, among other purposes, to reduce the scope of certain representations, warranties and covenants and related merger agreement closing conditions, and the absence of which is a separate closing condition;
•: the results of the due diligence investigation of Manhattan Bancorp and its subsidiaries conducted by Professional Business Bank's management and financial, legal and other advisors;
•: the likelihood that the mergers would each constitute a reorganization for U.S. federal income tax purposes and that Professional Business Bank shareholders receiving stock consideration would not recognize gain or loss on the exchange of Professional Business Bank stock for stock of Manhattan Bancorp, except with respect to any cash received in lieu of the issuance of a fractional share of Manhattan Bancorp common stock;
•: the availability of statutory dissenters' rights to the shareholders who are entitled to demand and have properly demanded such rights and have complied with all of the other required procedures under California law for exercising dissenters' rights, which require Manhattan Bancorp to purchase at their fair market value the shares of Professional Business Bank common stock owned by such holders of dissenting shares, as described in "—Dissenters' Rights for Professional Business Bank and Manhattan Bancorp Shareholders"; and
•: the desire of Fund Manager, as representative of the Funds (which collectively own 100% of the common stock of CGB Holdings, which in turn owns approximately 90% of the issued and outstanding common stock of Professional Business Bank), to complete the reorganization and consolidation of Professional Business Bank and Bank of Manhattan.

The PBB Board also considered the potential risks outlined below, but concluded that the anticipated benefits of the mergers were likely to outweigh these risks. The risks included:

•: the possibility that the mergers and the related integration process could result in the loss of key employees, disruption of Professional Business Bank's ongoing business and loss of customers;
•: the possibility of encountering difficulties in achieving cost savings and revenue synergies in the amounts estimated or in the time frame contemplated;
•: the fact that, because the bank merger consideration will be determined on the basis of a floating exchange ratio of shares of Manhattan Bancorp common stock for Professional Business

Table of Contents

Bank common stock, Professional Business Bank shareholders could be adversely affected by a decrease in the book value of Professional Business Bank common stock, or an increase in the book value of Manhattan Bancorp common stock, during the pendency of the bank merger;

•: the fact that completion of the mergers are subject to regulatory approvals from multiple bank regulatory agencies and there can be no assurance that these approvals will be received prior to the termination date in the merger agreement, after which time either Manhattan Bancorp or Professional Business Bank can terminate the merger agreement;
•: the possibility that one or more of the bank regulatory authorities could condition approval of the mergers on the companies' compliance with burdensome requirements, which could have the effect of delaying completion of the transactions contemplated in the merger agreement or imposing additional costs on or limiting the revenues of the combined bank, any of which might have a material adverse effect on the combined bank following the mergers;
•: the restrictions on the conduct of Professional Business Bank's business prior to the completion of the mergers under the merger agreement, which require, among other things, that Professional Business Bank conduct its business only in the ordinary course and take certain actions or refrain from taking certain actions, subject to specific exceptions, which may delay or prevent Professional Business Bank from pursuing business opportunities that may arise that it would otherwise pursue;
•: the fact that Professional Business Bank's executive officers and directors may have interests in the proposed merger that are different from, or in addition to, those of Professional Business Bank's other shareholders. See "—Interests of Certain Persons in the Mergers" beginning on page 75;
•: the possibility that the mergers might not be completed and the effect of the resulting public announcement of termination of the merger agreement on, among other things, Professional Business Bank's operating results, particularly in light of the costs incurred in connection with the proposed merger; and
•: the other risks described in the section entitled "Risk Factors" beginning on page 14.

Although the PBB Board considered these and other factors, the PBB Board did not collectively assign any specific or relative weights to the factors considered and did not make any determination with respect to any individual factor. The PBB Board collectively made its determination based on the conclusion reached by its members, in light of the factors that each of them considered appropriate, that the mergers are in the best interests of Professional Business Bank and its shareholders.

The PBB Board noted that there can be no assurance about future results, including results expected or considered in the factors listed above, such as assumptions regarding anticipated cost savings and earnings accretion/dilution. However, the PBB Board concluded that the potential positive factors outweighed the potential risks of completing the mergers.

This explanation of the reasoning of the PBB Board and other information presented in this section includes statements that are forward-looking in nature and, therefore, should be read in light of the factors discussed under the heading "Caution Regarding Forward-Looking Statements" on page 21.

For the reasons set forth above, the PBB Board determined that the mergers, the merger agreement and the transactions contemplated by the merger agreement are advisable and in the best interest of Professional Business Bank and its shareholders and approved the merger agreement.

THE PBB BOARD RECOMMENDS THAT THE PROFESSIONAL BUSINESS BANK SHAREHOLDERS VOTE "FOR" APPROVAL OF THE MERGER AGREEMENT AND "FOR" THE PROPOSAL TO ADJOURN THE SPECIAL MEETING, IF NECESSARY OR APPROPRIATE, TO SOLICIT ADDITIONAL PROXIES AND VOTES IN FAVOR OF THE APPROVAL OF THE MERGER AGREEMENT.

Opinions of Financial Advisors

Opinion of Manhattan Bancorp's Financial Advisor

By letter dated August 26, 2011, Manhattan Bancorp retained Sandler O'Neill to act as its financial advisor in connection with a possible business combination with another financial institution. Manhattan Bancorp selected Sandler O'Neill because Sandler O'Neill is a nationally recognized investment banking firm with substantial experience in transactions similar to the mergers and is familiar with Manhattan Bancorp and its business. As part of its investment banking business, Sandler O'Neill is continually engaged in the valuation of financial businesses and their securities in connection with mergers and acquisitions.

On November 21, 2011, the joint board of directors of Manhattan Bancorp and Bank of Manhattan held a meeting to evaluate the proposed merger of Professional Business Bank with and into Bank of Manhattan. At the meeting, Sandler O'Neill reviewed the financial aspects of the proposed merger and rendered an oral opinion (subsequently confirmed in writing) to Manhattan Bancorp that, as of such date, and based upon and subject to factors and assumptions set forth therein, the exchange ratio was fair, from a financial point of view, to the shareholders of Manhattan Bancorp. The Manhattan Bancorp board of directors approved the merger agreement on November 21, 2011.

The full text of Sandler O'Neill's written opinion, dated November 21, 2011, which sets forth the assumptions made, procedures followed, matters considered and limitations on the review undertaken in connection with the opinion, is attached as Annex B to this joint proxy statement/prospectus and is incorporated herein by reference. The description of the opinion set forth herein is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the opinion. Manhattan Bancorp's shareholders are urged to read the opinion in its entirety.

Sandler O'Neill's opinion speaks only as of the date of the opinion. The opinion is directed to the Manhattan Board and addresses only the fairness, from a financial point of view, to holders of Manhattan Bancorp common stock of the exchange ratio in the bank merger. It does not address the underlying business decision to proceed with the mergers and does not constitute a recommendation to any Manhattan Bancorp shareholder as to how the shareholder should vote on the merger agreement or any related matter.

In connection with its opinion, Sandler O'Neill reviewed, analyzed and relied upon material bearing upon the mergers and the financial and operating condition of Manhattan Bancorp and Professional Business Bank, including, among other things, the following:

•: the merger agreement,
•: certain publicly available financial statements and other historical financial information of Manhattan Bancorp Sandler O'Neill deemed relevant,
•: certain publicly available financial statements and other historical financial information of Professional Business Bank Sandler O'Neill deemed relevant,
•: internal financial projections for Manhattan Bancorp for the years ending December 31, 2011 through December 31, 2016, as prepared by and discussed with senior management of Manhattan Bancorp,
•: internal financial projections for Professional Business Bank for the years ending December 31, 2011 through December 31, 2016, as prepared by and discussed with senior management of Professional Business Bank,
•: the publicly reported historical price and trading activity for Manhattan Bancorp's common stock, including a comparison of certain financial and stock market information for Manhattan Bancorp and Professional Business Bank with similar publicly available information for certain other commercial banks, the securities of which are publicly traded,

Table of Contents

•: the current market environment generally and in the commercial banking sector in particular, and
•: such other information, financial studies, analyses and investigations and financial, economic and market criteria as Sandler O'Neill considered relevant.

Sandler O'Neill also held discussions with certain members of senior management of Manhattan Bancorp regarding the business, financial condition and results of operations and prospects of Manhattan Bancorp and held similar discussions with certain members of senior management of Professional Business Bank concerning the business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects of Professional Business Bank.

In performing its review and analysis, Sandler O'Neill relied upon the accuracy and completeness of all of the financial and other information that was available to it from public sources, that was provided to it by Manhattan Bancorp or Professional Business Bank or that was otherwise reviewed by it and assumed such accuracy and completeness for purposes of its opinion. Sandler O'Neill relied upon the assurances of the respective managements of Manhattan Bancorp and Professional Business Bank that they are not aware of any facts and circumstances that would make any of such information inaccurate or misleading. Sandler O'Neill did not make an independent evaluation or appraisal of the specific assets, the collateral securing assets or the liabilities (contingent or otherwise) of Manhattan Bancorp and Professional Business Bank or any of their respective subsidiaries. Sandler O'Neill did not make an independent valuation of the adequacy of allowances of Manhattan Bancorp and Professional Business Bank or the combined bank after the bank merger and did not review any individual credit files relating to Manhattan Bancorp and Professional Business Bank. Sandler O'Neill assumed, with Manhattan Bancorp's consent, that the respective allowances for loan losses for both Manhattan Bancorp and Professional Business Bank are adequate to cover such losses and will be adequate on a pro forma basis for the combined entity.

The internal financial projections furnished to Sandler O'Neill and used by it in certain of its analyses were prepared by Manhattan Bancorp's and Professional Business Bank's respective senior management teams. Manhattan Bancorp and Professional Business Bank do not publicly disclose internal management projections of the type provided to Sandler O'Neill in connection with its review of the mergers. As a result, such projections were not prepared with a view toward public disclosure. The projections were based on numerous variables and assumptions, which are inherently uncertain, including factors related to general economic and competitive conditions. Accordingly, actual results could vary significantly from those set forth in the projections. The estimates or projections contained in the analyses performed by Sandler O'Neill are not necessarily indicative of actual values or future results, which may be significantly more or less favorable than suggested by these analyses. Additionally, estimates or projections of the value of businesses or securities do not purport to be appraisals or to reflect the prices at which such businesses or securities might actually be sold. Accordingly, these analyses and estimates are inherently subject to substantial uncertainty. Sandler O'Neill assumed for the purposes of its analysis that they reflected the best currently available estimates and judgments of such managements and that such performances would be achieved. Sandler O'Neill expressed no opinion as to such financial projections or assumptions on which they were based.

Sandler O'Neill assumed that there has been no material change in the respective assets, financial condition, results of operations, business or prospects of Manhattan Bancorp or Professional Business Bank since the date of the most recent financial data made available to it. Sandler O'Neill also assumed in all respects material to its analysis that Manhattan Bancorp and Professional Business Bank will remain as a going concern for all periods relevant to its analyses. Sandler O'Neill expressed no opinion as to any of the legal, accounting and tax matters relating to the bank merger and any other transactions contemplated in connection therewith.

In arriving at its opinion, Sandler O'Neill considered the results of its entire analysis and Sandler O'Neill did not attribute any particular weight to any analysis or factor that it considered. Rather, Sandler O'Neill made its determination as to fairness on the basis of its experience and professional judgment after considering the results of its entire analysis though, in reviewing such analysis, Sandler O'Neill did not note any specific factors that did not support the fairness opinion it rendered. The financial analyses summarized below include information presented in tabular format. Sandler O'Neill believes that its analyses and the summary of its analyses must be considered as a whole and that selecting portions of its analyses and factors or focusing on the information presented below in tabular format, without considering all analyses and factors or the full narrative description of the financial analyses, including the methodologies and assumptions underlying the analyses, could create a misleading or incomplete view of the process underlying its analyses and opinion.

Manhattan Bancorp—Stock Price Performance. Sandler O'Neill reviewed the history of the publicly reported trading prices of Manhattan Bancorp common stock for the one-year and three-year period ended November 18, 2011. Sandler O'Neill then compared the relationship between the movements in the price of Manhattan Bancorp common stock against the movements in the prices of Manhattan Bancorp 1^st peer group, S&P Bank Index and Nasdaq Bank Index. The analysis showed the performance of Manhattan Bancorp's common stock, for both the one year and three year periods, was far below the performance of the indices to which it was compared.

Professional Business Bank—Net Present Value Analysis. Sandler O'Neill performed an analysis that estimated the net present value per share of Professional Business Bank common stock under various circumstances. The analysis assumed that Professional Business Bank performed in accordance with the financial forecasts for the years ending December 31, 2011 through 2016 as prepared by and reviewed with senior management of Professional Business Bank. To approximate the terminal value of Professional Business Bank common stock at December 31, 2016, Sandler O'Neill applied price to forward earnings multiples of 10.0x to 15.0x and multiples of tangible book value ranging from 50% to 125%. The terminal values were then discounted to present values using different discount rates ranging from 11.0% to 17.0% chosen to reflect different assumptions regarding required rates of return of holders or prospective buyers of Professional Business Bank common stock.

As illustrated in the following tables, the analysis indicates an imputed range of values per share of Professional Business Bank common stock of $4.04 to $8.04 when applying the price earnings multiples to the internal financial forecasts and $2.67 to $8.86 when applying multiples of tangible book value to the internal financial forecasts, which indicates the book value of Professional Business Bank of $7.76 falls within the range of the values determined by Sandler O'Neill's analysis.

Sandler O'Neill also considered and discussed with the Manhattan Board how this analysis would be affected by changes in the underlying assumptions, including variations with respect to net income. To illustrate this impact, Sandler O'Neill performed a similar analysis assuming Professional Business Bank net income varied from 25% above forecasts to 25% below forecasts. This analysis resulted in the following range of per share values for Professional Business Bank common stock, using the same price forward earnings multiples of 10.0x to 15.0x and a discount rate of 14.17% (which Sandler O'Neill calculated based on industry standard methods of adding the current risk-free rate, which is based on the 10-year Treasury yield, plus the published Ibbotson Equity Risk Premium, plus the published Ibbotson Size Premium, plus the Ibbottson Industry Premium):

Sandler O'Neill noted that the terminal value analysis is a widely used valuation methodology, but the results of such methodology are highly dependent upon the numerous assumptions that must be made, and the results thereof are not necessarily indicative of actual values or future results.

Manhattan Bancorp—Net Present Value Analysis. Sandler O'Neill also performed an analysis that estimated the net present value per share of Manhattan Bancorp common stock under various circumstances. The analysis assumed that Manhattan Bancorp performed in accordance with projections provided by management for December 31, 2011 through December 31, 2016.

To approximate the terminal value of Manhattan Bancorp common stock at December 31, 2016, Sandler O'Neill applied multiples of tangible book value ranging from 50% to 150%. The terminal values were then discounted to present values using different discount rates ranging from 11.0% to 17.0% chosen to reflect different assumptions regarding required rates of return of holders or prospective buyers of Manhattan Bancorp common stock.

As illustrated in the following tables, the analysis indicates an imputed range of values per share of Manhattan Bancorp common stock of $0.71 to $2.81 when applying multiples of tangible book value to

Pro Forma Results and Capital Ratios. Sandler O'Neill analyzed certain potential pro forma effects of the bank merger, assuming the following: (1) 100% of the consideration to be issued to shareholders of Professional Business Bank in connection with the bank merger is in the form of common stock of Manhattan Bancorp; (2) an exchange ratio of 1.570 based on book values per share of Professional Business Bank and Manhattan Bancorp of $7.74 and $4.93, respectively; (3) the merger is completed on December 31, 2011; (4) stock options issued pursuant to awards under Professional Business Bank's 2011 Equity Stock Incentive Plan are converted into the right to receive common shares of Manhattan Bancorp; (5) financial forecasts provided by management of Professional Business Bank and Manhattan Bancorp for December 31, 2011 through December 31, 2016 are achieved; (6) a purchase accounting adjustment for credit marks equal to allowance to loan and lease losses, with no other purchase accounting adjustments; (7) core deposit intangibles of $1.2 million, straight line amortized over ten

years; (8) cost savings of $4.6 million in 2012, $9.8 million in 2013, $11.4 million in 2014, $12.4 million in 2015, and $11.7 million in 2016; and (9) transaction expenses of $1.5 million, pre-tax, with 50% of Manhattan Bancorp's expenses recognized prior to closing of the bank merger; (10) pre-tax opportunity cost of cash of 0.25%; and (11) no loss of Manhattan Bancorp's net operating loss in the bank merger. Sandler O'Neill's accretion/dilution analysis is merger related analysis which shows the impact of a proposed merger transaction on the future earnings of the purchaser, in this case, Manhattan Bancorp. It also evaluates the impact of the transaction on the tangible book value of the purchaser. The analyses indicated that for each of the years ending from December 31, 2012 to December 31, 2016, the bank merger (including transaction expenses) would be accretive to Manhattan Bancorp's projected earnings per share and at September 30, 2011 the bank merger would be modestly dilutive to Manhattan Bancorp's tangible book value per share. The analyses also indicated that on a pro forma basis at September 30, 2011, the merger would maintain Manhattan Bancorp's regulatory capital ratios significantly in excess of the guidelines for "well capitalized" status. The actual results achieved by Manhattan Bancorp after completion of the bank merger (the "combined company"), however, may vary from projected results and the variations may be material.

Pro Forma Basis of the Combined Company—Net Present Value Analysis. Sandler O'Neill performed an analysis that estimated the net present value per share of the combined company's common stock under various circumstances. The analysis assumed that the pro forma basis performed in accordance with the financial forecasts for the years ending December 31, 2011 through 2016 as prepared by and reviewed with senior management of Professional Business Bank and Manhattan Bancorp. To approximate the terminal value of the combined company's common stock at December 31, 2016, Sandler O'Neill applied price to forward earnings multiples of 10.0x to 15.0x and multiples of tangible book value ranging from 50% to 125%. The terminal values were then discounted to present values using different discount rates ranging from 11.0% to 17.0% chosen to reflect different assumptions regarding required rates of return of holders or prospective buyers of the combined company's common stock.

As illustrated in the following tables, the analysis indicates an imputed range of values per share of the combined company's common stock of $4.18 to $8.26 when applying the price earnings multiples to the internal financial forecasts and $2.01 to $6.61 when applying multiples of tangible book value to the internal financial forecasts.

In rendering its opinion, Davidson assumed and relied upon the accuracy and completeness of all information supplied or otherwise made available to Davidson, discussed with or reviewed by or for Davidson, or publicly available, and Davidson has not assumed responsibility for independently verifying such information or undertaken an independent evaluation or appraisal of any of the assets or liabilities (contingent or otherwise) of Professional Business Bank or Manhattan Bancorp, nor has Davidson been furnished with any such evaluation or appraisal. In addition, Davidson has not assumed any obligation to conduct, nor has it conducted, any physical inspection of the properties or facilities of Professional Business Bank or Manhattan Bancorp. Davidson has further relied on statements from the management of Professional Business Bank and Manhattan Bancorp that they are not aware of any facts or circumstances that would make any of such information inaccurate or misleading.

Davidson has not been asked to undertake, and has not undertaken, an independent verification of any such information and has not assumed any responsibility or liability for the accuracy or completeness of it. Davidson did not make an independent evaluation of the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses of Professional Business Bank or Manhattan Bancorp nor has Davidson reviewed any individual credit files relating to Professional Business Bank or Manhattan Bancorp, and Davidson has expressed no opinion on the adequacy of the allowances for loan losses of Professional Business Bank and Manhattan Bancorp. Davidson did not make any independent evaluation of the amounts or timing of the cost savings identified to be realized as a result of the bank merger. Davidson used guidance from management of Professional Business Bank in respect to the balance of deferred tax asset(s) of Professional Business Bank and Manhattan Bancorp and did not express an opinion nor independently verify the survivability of the deferred tax asset(s) as it relates to the bank merger. Davidson has assumed that there has been no material change in Professional Business Bank's or Manhattan Bancorp's assets, financial condition, results of operations, business or prospects since the date of the most recent financial statements provided.

Davidson has assumed in all respects material to the analysis that Professional Business Bank and Manhattan Bancorp will remain as going concerns for all periods relevant to the analysis. It is also assumed in all respects material to the analysis that all of the representations and warranties contained in the merger agreement and all related agreements are true and correct, that each party to such agreements will perform all of the covenants required to be performed by such party under such agreements and that the conditions precedent in the merger agreement will not be waived. Davidson has also assumed that there were not material changes to the merger agreement from the draft agreement dated November 21, 2011 to the final executed merger agreement.

Davidson has assumed that, in the course of obtaining necessary regulatory or other consents or approvals (contractual or otherwise) for the transaction, no further modifications, including any divestiture requirements or amendment or modifications, will be imposed that will have a material adverse effect on the contemplated benefits of the transaction.

In addition, Davidson has also assumed that the transaction will qualify as a tax-free reorganization. Davidson does not express any view as to, and its opinion does not address, the relative merits of the transaction as compared to any alternative business strategies that might exist for Professional Business Bank or the effect of any other transaction in which Professional Business Bank might engage. Additionally, Davidson is not expressing any opinion herein as to the fairness of the amount or nature of the compensation to be received by Professional Business Bank in the bank merger or any other related transaction by any officer, director or employee, or class of such persons, relative to the compensation to be received in the bank merger by any other shareholder of Professional Business Bank.

The summary of the analyses of Davidson set forth below is not a complete description of the analyses underlying its opinion, and the order in which these analyses are described below is not indicative of any relative weight or importance given to those analyses by Davidson.

The Nationwide Mergers precedent transactions group consisted of the following five transactions. Criteria for the precedent transactions group was 100% stock transactions nationwide since 2009, with unprofitable targets that had a nonperforming assets to total assets ratio of less than 4%, where pro forma ownership information was disclosed.

CommerceWest Bank, N.A. (Acquirer) / Discovery Bancorp (Target)

Davidson used balance sheet and income statement information at or for the fiscal quarter immediately preceding announcement, and market data for the trading day immediately preceding announcement. All income statement information is as of the last twelve months for the quarter immediately preceding announcement. The selected multiples, statistics and ratios that were calculated and compared by Davidson. were as follows:

Acquirer pro forma ownership
Target pro forma ownership
Acquirer tangible common equity contribution
Target tangible common equity contribution
Acquirer net income contribution
Target net income contribution
Premium to targets' tangible common equity (1)
Acquirers' total assets
Targets' total assets
Acquirers' return on average assets
Targets' return on average assets
Acquirers' nonperforming assets to total assets
Targets' nonperforming assets to total assets

The analysis indicated that Professional Business Bank's and Manhattan Bancorp's tangible common equity contribution in proportion to pro forma ownership was similar to that of each of the precedent transaction groups to which the transaction was compared.

Exchange Ratio at Closing Analysis

Davidson analyzed potential changes in the exchange ratio from bank merger announcement to closing due to the methodology of the exchange ratio as defined in the merger agreement. The merger agreement provides that, at the completion of the bank merger, each share of Professional Business Bank common stock outstanding immediately before the bank merger will be converted into the right to receive a number of shares of Manhattan Bancorp common stock having an aggregate book value per share as of the last day of the month preceding the month in which the closing of the bank merger occurs, equal to the book value per share of the Professional Business Bank common stock as of the same date. This exchange ratio will therefore fluctuate with changes in the book value of either Professional Business Bank or Manhattan Bancorp. Davidson conducted a sensitivity analysis on both Professional Business Bank's and Manhattan Bancorp's book value at closing, and what the resulting exchange ratio would be. Davidson compared the exchange ratio at announcement to the forecasted exchange ratios at closing using earnings and loss run rates and management guidance of Professional Business Bank's and Manhattan Bancorp's earnings for the remainder of 2011 and 2012. The analysis showed exchange ratio sensitivity under different book value scenarios for both Professional Business Bank and Manhattan Bancorp at closing.

Accretion / Dilution Analysis

Davidson performed pro forma analyses of the financial impact of the bank merger on Professional Business Bank's and Manhattan Bancorp's (1) estimated earnings per share for 2nd half of 2012 after the transaction closes and full year 2013, 2014, and 2015 and (2) estimated closing tangible book value per share, and estimated tangible book value per share at year end 2012, 2013, 2014, and 2015. The following assumptions were applied:

the bank merger closes June 30, 2012;

financial data as of September 30, 2011;

combined deferred tax asset of $9.2 million is preserved in the bank merger;

earnings were estimated from management guidance of Professional Business Bank and Manhattan Bancorp;

Manhattan Bancorp is the issuer and Professional Business Bank is the acquirer for accounting purposes in the bank merger;

total fair market value adjustment on Manhattan Bancorp's loan portfolio of 2.50% (including the estimated existing loan loss reserves at closing);

pre-tax annual cost savings of $2.5 million in 2012, $5.1 million in 2013, $5.3 million in 2014, and $5.4 million in 2015;

no revenue synergies included; and

Professional Business Bank and Manhattan Bancorp will continue their respective policies of not paying dividends.

The analysis indicated that for each of the years ending from December 31, 2013 to December 31, 2015, the bank merger (including transaction expenses) would be accretive to Professional Business Bank's projected earnings per share. In addition, the analysis indicated that at September 30, 2011 the bank merger would be modestly dilutive to Professional Business Bank's tangible book value per share, with the payback period for tangible book value dilution at less than two and a half years. The analysis also indicated that on a pro forma basis at September 30, 2011, the merger would maintain Professional Business Bank's regulatory capital ratios in excess of the guidelines for "well capitalized" status. The actual results achieved by Professional Business Bank after the completion of the bank merger, however, may vary from projected results and the variations may be material.

The preparation of a fairness opinion is a complex process involving various determinations as to the most appropriate and relevant methods of financial analysis and the application of those methods to the particular circumstances and, therefore, a fairness opinion is not readily susceptible to partial analysis or summary description. In arriving at its opinion, Davidson considered the results of all of the analyses and factors and did not isolate specific analyses or factors nor reach separate conclusions as to whether or not any particular analysis or factor supported its opinion; rather, Davidson made its determination as to fairness on the basis of its experience and professional judgment after considering the results of all the underlying analyses and factors. Accordingly, Davidson believes that its analyses must be considered as a whole and that selecting portions of its analyses or certain factors, without considering all analyses and factors as a whole, could create a misleading or incomplete view of the processes underlying its opinion.

In its analyses, Davidson made numerous assumptions with respect to industry performance, general business, economic, market and financial conditions, and various other matters, many of which are beyond the control of the parties and their advisors. Furthermore, no company or transaction used in the analysis is identical to Professional Business Bank, Manhattan Bancorp or the proposed merger. Rather, the analyses of comparable companies and transactions involve complex considerations and judgments concerning differences in financial and operating characteristics of the companies and other factors that could affect the acquisition, public trading or other values of the companies or transactions being compared.

Davidson prepared its analyses for purposes of providing its opinion to Professional Business Bank's board of directors as to the fairness from a financial point of view to holders of shares of Professional Business Bank common stock of the exchange ratio and to assist Professional Business Bank's board of directors in analyzing the proposed merger. The analyses do not purport to be appraisals or necessarily reflect the prices at which businesses or securities actually may be sold. Analyses based upon forecasts of future results are not necessarily indicative of actual future results, which may be significantly more or less favorable than those suggested by these analyses. Because these analyses are inherently subject to uncertainty, being based upon numerous factors or events beyond the control of the parties and their respective advisors, none of Professional Business Bank, Manhattan Bancorp, Davidson or any other person assumes responsibility if future results are materially different from those forecasted.

Davidson's opinion was one of many factors considered by the PBB Board in its evaluation of the mergers and should not be viewed as determinative of the views of the PBB Board with respect to the mergers or the exchange ratio.

Davidson and its affiliates, as part of their investment banking business, are continually engaged in performing financial analyses with respect to businesses and their securities in connection with mergers and acquisitions, negotiated underwritings, competitive biddings, secondary distributions of listed and unlisted securities, private placements and other transactions.

Davidson is a full service securities firm engaged, either directly or through its affiliates, in securities trading, investment management, financial planning and benefits counseling, financing and brokerage activities for both companies and individuals. In the ordinary course of these activities, Davidson and its affiliates may provide such services to Professional Business Bank, Manhattan Bancorp and their respective affiliates, may actively trade the debt and equity securities (or related derivative securities) of Professional Business Bank and Manhattan Bancorp for their own account and for the accounts of their customers and may at any time hold long and short positions of such securities. Davidson has not held any shares of Manhattan Bancorp common stock for investment accounts nor has it provided any financial or investment advisory services to Manhattan Bancorp in the past two years. Davidson has not received any financial advisory, investment banking or similar fees from Professional Business Bank during the last two years.

Table of Contents

Professional Business Bank selected Davidson as its financial advisor because it is a recognized investment banking firm that has substantial experience in transactions similar to the mergers. Pursuant to a letter agreement dated October 7, 2011, Professional Business Bank engaged Davidson as its financial advisor in connection with the contemplated transaction. Pursuant to the terms of the engagement letter, Professional Business Bank agreed to pay Davidson a cash fee of $75,000 concurrently with the rendering of its opinion. Professional Business Bank has also agreed to reimburse Davidson for all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses, including fees of counsel, and to indemnify Davidson and certain related persons against specified liabilities, including liabilities under the federal securities laws, relating to or arising out of its engagement. Other than as noted above, Davidson has had no material relationships with Professional Business Bank, Manhattan Bancorp or CGB Holdings in the last two years. Other than the fees associated with the contemplated transaction, Davidson has not received any fees or other compensation from Professional Business Bank, Manhattan Bancorp or CGB Holdings in the last two years. Davidson may provide investment banking services to the combined bank in the future and may receive future compensation.

Interests of Certain Persons in the Mergers

In considering the recommendations of the boards of directors of Manhattan Bancorp and Professional Business Bank to vote for the proposal to approve the merger agreement, shareholders of Manhattan Bancorp and Professional Business Bank should be aware that members of the boards of directors and executive management and certain shareholders may be considered to have interests in the mergers that may differ from those of the shareholders of Manhattan Bancorp and Professional Business Bank. The Manhattan Board and the PBB Board were aware of these interests during their deliberations on the merits of the mergers and in making their decisions to recommend to the respective shareholders of Manhattan Bancorp and Professional Business Bank that they vote to approve the merger agreement.

Pursuant to the terms of their respective agreements, each of Mr. Hunt and Ms. Christ will receive, upon termination of employment without cause on or before December 31, 2012, a payment equal to 130% of one year's base salary plus payment of 12 months of healthcare insurance premiums. Mr. Tyminski entered into a Change in Control Agreement with Professional Business Bank dated July 27, 2011 pursuant to which agreement Mr. Tyminski will receive, upon termination of employment within 12 months following a change in control, a payment of one year's base salary plus payment of 12 months of healthcare insurance premiums. Ms. Christ's employment was terminated on March 30, 2012.

John Nerland, the President and Chief Banking Officer of Professional Business Bank, is expected initially to serve as President of Manhattan Bancorp and the combined bank after the closing of the mergers. It is currently expected that Mr. Nerland will enter into an employment agreement with Manhattan Bancorp and the combined bank providing for an annual base salary of $225,000, bonuses to be paid at the discretion of the Manhattan Board, and benefits consistent with those currently provided to other executive officers of Manhattan Bancorp. It is also currently expected that the employment agreement will provide that, in the event the employment of Mr. Nerland is terminated without cause by Manhattan Bancorp and/or the combined bank or by Mr. Nerland for good reason (each, as defined in the employment agreement), Mr. Nerland will be entitled to receive his base salary through the date of termination, any accrued but unused vacation pay as of the date of termination, any incurred but unreimbursed business expenses and separation pay equal to twelve months of his then current annual base salary.

Other than as described below, none of the directors of Professional Business Bank, other than those who are also executive officers of Professional Business Bank, will receive any compensation or benefits as a result of the mergers. It is anticipated that directors James B. Jones, Marshall Laitsch, Louis P. Smaldino and Michael A. Zoeller will become members of the board of directors of Manhattan Bancorp and Bank of Manhattan following the bank merger and these individuals will, accordingly, be entitled to receive compensation as members of the boards of directors of those entities. Members of the board of directors of Manhattan Bancorp and Bank of Manhattan currently receive $1,000 for attendance at each board meeting, a $5,000 retainer for serving as chair of a board committee, a $1,000 retainer for serving as non-chair member of a board committee, and a $25,000 retainer for serving on the board of directors of MCM.

Interests of Fund Manager and the Funds

The Funds collectively own approximately 43% of the common stock of Manhattan Bancorp and 90% of the common stock of Professional Business Bank through their 100% ownership of CGB Holdings. Following the consummation of the mergers, the Funds will collectively own a majority of the common stock of Manhattan Bancorp, and thus will exercise substantial control over Manhattan Bancorp and the combined bank. Based on the book value per share of the common stock of Manhattan Bancorp and Professional Business Bank at March 31, 2012, if the bank merger had closed in April 2012, the Funds would have collectively owned approximately 74.4% of the common stock of Manhattan Bancorp after the bank merger. As such, the Funds will have substantial influence and control over matters voted upon by shareholders of Manhattan Bancorp and will have the ability to approve transactions that may have a significant impact upon the operations of Manhattan Bancorp and the combined bank, such as the election of the directors to the board of directors of each of Manhattan Bancorp and the combined bank, mergers and sales of substantially all the assets of either

United States Federal Income Tax Consequences of the Mergers

General

The following discussion describes the material United States federal income tax consequences of the mergers to U.S. holders (as defined below) of Professional Business Bank common stock and CGB Holdings common stock. This discussion does not address any tax consequences arising under the laws of any state, local or foreign jurisdiction, nor does this discussion address any non-income tax consequences. This discussion also does not address the tax consequences of transactions effectuated prior to or after the mergers. This discussion is based upon the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), the temporary and permanent regulations of the U.S. Treasury Department promulgated under the Code, and judicial decisions and published administrative rulings and procedures in effect on the date of this proxy statement/prospectus. These laws may change, possibly with retroactive effect, and any such change could affect the continuing validity of this discussion.

For purposes of this discussion, the term "U.S. holder" means:

•: an individual who is a citizen or resident of the United States, as determined for U.S. federal income tax purposes;
•: a corporation, or other entity treated as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes, that is created or organized in or under the laws of the United States, any State thereof, or the District of Columbia;
•: a trust if it (i) is subject to the primary supervision of a court within the United States and one or more United States persons have the authority to control all substantial decisions of the trust or (ii) has a valid election in effect under applicable United States Treasury regulations to be treated as a United States person; or
•: an estate that is subject to United States federal income tax on its income regardless of its source.

This discussion assumes that the mergers will be completed in accordance with the merger agreement and as further described in this proxy statement/prospectus. Additionally, this discussion does not address all aspects of U.S. federal income taxation that may be relevant to a Professional Business Bank common shareholder, a CGB Holdings common shareholder, or a Manhattan Bancorp common shareholder in light of such holder's particular circumstances or that may be applicable if a holder is subject to special treatment under the United States federal income tax laws, including if a holder is:

•: not holding its Professional Business Bank common stock, CGB Holdings common stock, or Manhattan Bancorp common stock as a capital asset;
•: a financial institution or insurance company;
•: a tax-exempt organization;
•: an individual retirement account or tax-deferred account;
•: a government or an agency or instrumentality thereof;
•: an S corporation, a partnership or other pass-through entity, including any entity or arrangement treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes, and beneficial owners of, or investors in, such entities;
•: a regulated investment company;
•: a real estate investment trust;

Table of Contents

•: a dealer in securities or foreign currencies;
•: a trader in securities who elects the mark-to-market method of accounting for securities;
•: a U.S. holder subject to the alternative minimum tax provisions of the Code;
•: a U.S. holder who received Professional Business Bank common stock, CGB Holdings common stock, or Manhattan Bancorp common stock through the exercise of employee stock options or otherwise as compensation;
•: a person that has a functional currency other than the U.S. dollar;
•: a holder of options or warrants to acquire, or any security convertible into, Professional Business Bank common stock, CGB Holdings common stock, or Manhattan Bancorp common stock;
•: a U.S. holder who holds Professional Business Bank common stock, CGB Holdings common stock, or Manhattan Bancorp common stock as part of a hedge, straddle, constructive sale, conversion transaction or other risk reduction transaction or synthetic security; or
•: a non-U.S. holder.

If a partnership, or other entity or arrangement treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes, holds Professional Business Bank common stock, CGB Holdings common stock, or Manhattan Bancorp common stock, the tax treatment of a partner in that partnership will generally depend on the status of the partner and the activities of the partnership. If you are a partner of a partnership holding Professional Business Bank common stock, CGB Holdings common stock, or Manhattan Bancorp common stock, you should consult your tax advisor.

The Mergers

It is the opinion of Bingham McCutchen LLP that:

•: the CGBH merger and the bank merger will each qualify as a reorganization within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code:
•: CGB Holdings and Professional Business Bank are each "a party to a reorganization" with respect to the CGBH merger;
•: Professional Business Bank, Manhattan Bancorp, and Bank of Manhattan are each "a party to a reorganization" with respect to the bank merger;
•: no gain or loss will be recognized by CGB Holdings or Professional Business Bank as a result of the CGBH merger;
•: no gain or loss will be recognized by Manhattan Bancorp, Bank of Manhattan, or Professional Business Bank as a result of the bank merger;
•: a CGB Holdings shareholder will not recognize gain or loss on the exchange of CGB Holdings common stock solely for Professional Business Bank common stock;
•: a CGB Holdings shareholder's aggregate tax basis in the Professional Business Bank common stock received in the CGBH merger will equal the holder's aggregate tax basis in the CGB Holdings common stock surrendered;
•: a CGB Holdings shareholder's holding period for the Professional Business Bank common stock received in the CGBH merger will include the holder's holding period for the shares of CGB Holdings common stock surrendered;
•: a Professional Business Bank shareholder will not recognize gain or loss on the exchange of Professional Business Bank common stock solely for Manhattan Bancorp common stock, except

Table of Contents

with respect to any cash received in lieu of issuance of a fractional share of Manhattan Bancorp common stock;

•: a Professional Business Bank shareholder's aggregate tax basis in the Manhattan Bancorp common stock received in the bank merger (including any fractional share interest deemed to be received and exchanged for cash) will equal the holder's aggregate tax basis in the Professional Business Bank common stock surrendered; and
•: a Professional Business Bank shareholder's holding period for the Manhattan Bancorp common stock received in the bank merger (including any fractional share interest deemed to be received and exchanged for cash) will include the holder's holding period for the shares of Professional Business Bank common stock surrendered.

Bingham McCutchen LLP's opinion set forth above is subject to customary qualifications and limitations and is based in part on customary factual representations made to Bingham McCutchen LLP by Professional Business Bank, CGB Holdings, Manhattan Bancorp, and Bank of Manhattan. This opinion represents Bingham McCutchen LLP's best legal judgment, but has no binding effect or official status of any kind before the Internal Revenue Service or the courts, and no assurance can be given that contrary positions will not be taken by the Internal Revenue Service or a court considering the issues.

CGB Holdings shareholders and Professional Business Bank shareholders may be required to attach a statement to their tax returns for the year in which the mergers occur that contains information listed in Treasury Regulations Section 1.368-3(b). Such statement must include the holder's tax basis in that holder's common stock surrendered in the applicable merger and a description of the shares of common stock of Professional Business Bank or Manhattan Bancorp, as applicable, received in the mergers.

Cash Instead of Fractional Shares

A Professional Business Bank shareholder will generally recognize capital gain or loss on any cash received instead of a fractional share of Manhattan Bancorp common stock equal to the difference between the amount of cash received and the tax basis allocated to such fractional share. Any capital gain or loss will constitute long-term capital gain or loss if the Professional Business Bank shareholder's holding period in Professional Business Bank common stock surrendered in the bank merger is greater than one year as of the date of the bank merger.

Dissenting Shareholders

The above discussion does not apply to Professional Business Bank shareholders, CGB Holdings shareholders, or Manhattan Bancorp shareholders who properly perfect dissenters' rights. Any Professional Business Bank common shareholder, CGB Holdings common shareholder, or Manhattan Bancorp common shareholder who is a U.S. holder and who dissents from the mergers and receives solely cash in exchange for such common stock will generally recognize capital gain or loss equal to the difference between the amount of cash received by the dissenting shareholder and the shareholder's adjusted tax basis in the common stock surrendered. Such capital gain or loss will be long-term capital gain or loss if the holder held the common stock for more than one year.

Backup Withholding

A U.S. holder of Professional Business Bank common stock may be subject to information reporting and backup withholding on any cash payments received instead of a fractional share interest in Manhattan Bancorp common stock in the bank merger (or any cash payments received in the case of

Table of Contents

a dissenting shareholder). A U.S. holder will not be subject to backup withholding, however, if the U.S. holder:

•: furnishes a correct taxpayer identification number and certifies that the U.S. holder is not subject to backup withholding on the substitute Form W-9 or successor form included in the letter of transmittal to be delivered to the U.S. holder following the completion of the bank merger; or
•: is otherwise exempt from backup withholding.

Any amounts withheld under the backup withholding rules will be allowed as a refund or credit against the U.S. holder's United States federal income tax liability, provided the U.S. holder timely furnishes the required information to the Internal Revenue Service.

Accounting Treatment

In accordance with current accounting guidance, the mergers will each be accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting. Professional Business Bank will be considered the acquirer in both the CGBH merger and the bank merger based, among other factors, on the percentage ownership of the combined bank being larger for former shareholders of Professional Business Bank than those of Manhattan Bancorp. Under the acquisition method of accounting, the assets and liabilities of CGB Holdings as of the effective time of the CGBH merger and Manhattan Bancorp as of the effective time of the bank merger will be recorded at their respective fair values and added to those of Professional Business Bank, while the recorded assets and liabilities of Professional Business Bank will be carried forward at their recorded amounts in each merger. All identifiable intangibles of CGB Holdings and Bank of Manhattan will be recorded at fair value and included as part of the net assets acquired by Professional Business Bank in each merger. In accordance with current accounting guidance, goodwill will not be amortized but will be evaluated for impairment annually. Identifiable intangibles will be amortized over their estimated lives. Financial statements of Manhattan Bancorp issued after the bank merger will reflect these fair values and will not be restated retroactively to reflect the historical financial position or results of operations of Professional Business Bank. See "Unaudited Pro Forma Combined Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements" beginning on page 98.

Regulatory Approvals

To complete the mergers, we must obtain prior approval from the DFI, FDIC, OCC and Federal Reserve Board. We have agreed to cooperate with each other and to use all reasonable best efforts to comply promptly with applicable legal requirements to obtain required regulatory and other approvals and to complete the merger as soon as practicable. We have received approvals from the OCC, the DFI and the FDIC, and we have an application pending with the Federal Reserve Board.

There can be no assurance that the required regulatory approvals will be obtained, that such approvals will be received on a timely basis, or that such approvals will not impose conditions or requirements that, individually or in the aggregate, would or could reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the financial condition, results of operations, assets or business of the combined bank following completion of the mergers.

Federal Reserve Board Approval

Federal Reserve Board approval of the change in the Funds' ownership of Manhattan Bancorp as a result of the bank merger must be obtained under the BHCA because, upon closing of the bank merger, the Funds are expected to acquire control of Manhattan Bancorp. In reviewing merger transactions under the BHCA, the Federal Reserve Board considers, among other factors, the competitive impact of the merger. The Federal Reserve Board also considers the financial and

Table of Contents

managerial resources of the companies and the convenience and needs of the communities to be served, as well as the companies' complying with money laundering laws. In connection with its review, the Federal Reserve Board provides an opportunity for public comment on the application for the mergers, and it is authorized to hold a public meeting or other proceeding if it determines that such hearing or proceeding would be appropriate.

Under the Community Reinvestment Act of 1977 (the "CRA"), the Federal Reserve Board must take into account the record of performance of each party to a merger in meeting the credit needs of the entire communities, including low- and moderate-income neighborhoods, served by the companies and their subsidiaries. As of its last examination, Bank of Manhattan was rated "satisfactory" with respect to CRA compliance. Since the December 31, 2010 merger of Professional Business Bank and California General Bank, the combined post-merger Professional Business Bank has not yet been examined for CRA compliance. The former Professional Business Bank had most recently been examined for CRA compliance in late 2009, resulting in a "satisfactory" CRA rating. The pre-merger California General Bank, given its relative youth, had never been examined for CRA compliance.

OCC, FDIC and DFI Approval

The prior approval of the OCC and FDIC under the merger provisions of the Federal Deposit Insurance Act and of the DFI under the California Financial Code will be required to complete the contemplated mergers. In reviewing the mergers, the OCC, FDIC and the DFI will take competitive considerations into account, as well as capital adequacy, quality of management and earnings prospects, in terms of both quality and quantity.

Contemplated Capital Transaction

Manhattan Bancorp has agreed to file a registration statement with the SEC in connection with a rights offering of Manhattan Bancorp common stock to be made to the holders of its common stock (excluding the Funds) within the latter to occur of sixty days after the completion of the mergers or thirty days following the receipt of audited financial statements of Manhattan Bancorp for the year ending December 31, 2011. Manhattan Bancorp will seek to raise up to $10,000,000 from the sale of shares of Manhattan Bancorp common stock at a per share price equivalent to the book value per share of Manhattan Bancorp common stock as of the end of the month preceding the month in which the registration statement becomes effective.

Exchange of Professional Business Bank Stock Certificates

Promptly after the mergers are completed, if you are a Professional Business Bank shareholder, the combined bank's exchange agent will mail to you a letter of transmittal form and instructions for use in surrendering your Professional Business Bank stock certificates in exchange for the whole shares of Manhattan Bancorp common stock which you are entitled to receive under the merger agreement and payment in lieu of the issuance of any fractional shares of Manhattan Bancorp common stock which you would otherwise be entitled to receive.

DO NOT SUBMIT YOUR PROFESSIONAL BUSINESS BANK STOCK CERTIFICATES FOR EXCHANGE UNTIL YOU RECEIVE THE TRANSMITTAL INSTRUCTIONS AND LETTER OF TRANSMITTAL FROM THE EXCHANGE AGENT.

Professional Business Bank shareholders will receive statements indicating book-entry ownership of Manhattan Bancorp stock and may request stock certificates representing the number of full shares of Manhattan Bancorp stock to which they are entitled under the merger agreement. Professional Business Bank shareholders also will receive a check in the amount of any cash payment that they are entitled to receive pursuant to the merger agreement in lieu of any fractional shares of Manhattan Bancorp common stock that would have been otherwise issuable to them as a result of the bank

Table of Contents

merger, without interest. In accordance with the merger agreement, the amount of cash payable to a Professional Business Bank shareholder will be determined by multiplying the fractional number of shares that a shareholder would otherwise receive by the book value per share of Manhattan Bancorp common stock as of the last day of the month in which the closing of the bank merger occurs. Manhattan Bancorp will be entitled to deduct and withhold from any consideration payable to any Professional Business Bank shareholder such amounts as it is required to deduct and withhold under any federal, state, local or foreign tax law. If any such amounts are withheld, these amounts will be treated for all purposes of the bank merger as having been paid to the shareholders from whom they were withheld.

Treatment of Stock Options and Other Equity-Based Awards

As of December 31, 2011, Professional Business Bank had outstanding stock options issued to employees, directors and organizers for the purchase of an aggregate of 108,159 shares of Professional Business Bank common stock that were issued pursuant to the Professional Business Bank 2011 Equity Incentive Plan or the California General Bank 2009 Stock Option Plan and 102,758 shares of Professional Business Bank common stock had been issued pursuant to awards under the Professional Business Bank 2011 Equity Incentive Plan to employees that remain subject to certain restrictions on transfer and possible forfeiture for specified vesting periods, which we refer to as Professional Business Bank restricted shares. When the mergers are completed, each option or Professional Business Bank restricted share granted under either the 2009 Stock Option Plan of California General Bank or the 2011 Equity Incentive Plan of Professional Business Bank will be converted into an equivalent grant for shares of Manhattan Bancorp common stock, so that each option or restricted share of Professional Business Bank shall be converted into the right to receive a number of shares of Manhattan Bancorp common stock equal to the aggregate book value per share of the Manhattan Bancorp common stock equal to the book value per share of the Professional Business Bank common stock on the determination date under the merger agreement, with the corresponding adjustment in exercise price of each option.

As of December 31, 2011, stock options for the purchase of a total of 585,693 options to purchase shares of Manhattan Bancorp common stock outstanding under Manhattan Bancorp's 2007 Stock Option Plan and 2010 Equity Incentive Plan, of which 420,969 were vested and exercisable and 167,724 were unvested. The bank merger will not affect the terms of any of such stock options or performance units.

Dissenters' Rights for Professional Business Bank and Manhattan Bancorp Shareholders

Any Professional Business Bank or Manhattan Bancorp shareholder wishing to exercise dissenters' rights is urged to consult legal counsel before attempting to exercise dissenters' rights. Failure to strictly comply with all of the procedures set forth in Chapter 13 of the California General Corporation Law, which consists of Sections 1300-1313, may result in the loss of a shareholder's statutory dissenters' rights. In such case, such shareholder will be entitled to receive shares of Manhattan Bancorp common stock as provided in the merger agreement.

The following discussion is a summary of Sections 1300 through 1313 of the CGCL, which sets forth the procedures for Professional Business Bank and Manhattan Bancorp shareholders to dissent from the proposed merger and to demand statutory dissenters' rights of appraisal of their shares under the CGCL. The following discussion is not a complete statement of the provisions of the CGCL relating to the rights of Professional Business Bank and Manhattan Bancorp shareholders to receive payment of the fair market value of their shares and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of Sections 1300 through 1313 of the CGCL, which are provided in their entirety as Annex D to this joint proxy statement/prospectus.

Table of Contents

All references in Sections 1300 through 1313 of the CGCL and in this summary to a "shareholder" are to the holder of record of the shares of Professional Business Bank stock or Manhattan Bancorp stock as to which dissenters' rights are asserted. A person having a beneficial interest in the shares of Professional Business Bank stock or Manhattan Bancorp stock held of record in the name of another person, such as a broker or nominee, cannot enforce dissenters' rights directly and must act promptly to cause the holder of record to follow the steps summarized below properly and in a timely manner to perfect such person's dissenters' rights.

Chapter 13 of the CGCL provides shareholders of Professional Business Bank who do not vote "FOR" approval of the merger agreement with the right, subject to compliance with the requirements summarized below, to dissent and demand the payment of, and to be paid in cash, the fair market value of the Professional Business Bank shares owned by such shareholders as of April 16, 2012, the record date for Professional Business Bank's special shareholders meeting. Furthermore, Manhattan Bancorp shareholders who do not vote "FOR" approval of the merger agreement will have the right, subject to compliance with the requirements summarized below, to dissent and demand the payment of, and to be paid in cash, the fair market value of the Manhattan Bancorp shares owned by such shareholders as of April 27, 2012, the record date for Manhattan Bancorp's annual shareholders meeting. In accordance with Chapter 13 of the CGCL, the fair market value of Professional Business Bank shares and Manhattan Bancorp shares will be their fair market value determined as of November 21, 2011, the last day before the first public announcement of the terms of the mergers, exclusive of any appreciation or depreciation in the value of the shares in consequence of the mergers.

Even though a shareholder who wishes to exercise dissenters' rights may be required to take certain actions following Professional Business Bank's or Manhattan Bancorp's special shareholders meeting, as applicable, if the merger agreement relating to the mergers is later terminated and the mergers are abandoned, no Professional Business Bank shareholder or Manhattan Bancorp shareholder will have the right to any payment from Professional Business Bank or Manhattan Bancorp, other than necessary expenses incurred in proceedings initiated in good faith and reasonable attorneys' fees incurred by reason of having taken such action. The following discussion is subject to the foregoing qualifications.

Not Vote "FOR" the merger agreement

Any Professional Business Bank shareholder or Manhattan Bancorp shareholder who desires to exercise dissenters' rights must not have voted his, her or its shares "FOR" approval of the merger agreement. If a Professional Business Bank shareholder or Manhattan Bancorp shareholder returns a proxy without voting instructions or with instructions to vote "FOR" approval of the merger agreement, or votes in person at the Professional Business Bank shareholders special meeting or the Manhattan Bancorp shareholders special meeting "FOR" approval of the merger agreement, his, her or its shares will be counted as votes in favor of the merger agreement and such shareholder will lose any dissenters' rights. Thus, if you wish to dissent and you execute and return a proxy in the accompanying forms, you must specify that your shares are to be voted "AGAINST" or "ABSTAIN" with respect to approval of the merger agreement.

Written Demand for Payment

In addition, to preserve dissenters' rights, a Professional Business Bank shareholder or Manhattan Bancorp shareholder must make a written demand for the purchase of the shareholder's dissenting shares and payment to the shareholder of their fair market value within 30 days after the date on which the notice of approval is mailed. Simply failing to vote for, or voting against, the merger agreement

Table of Contents

does not constitute a proper written demand under the CGCL. To comply with the requirements under the CGCL, the written demand must:

•: be received by Professional Business Bank or Manhattan Bancorp, as applicable, not later than 30 days after the date on which the notice of approval is mailed;
•: specify the shareholder's name and mailing address and the number and class of shares of stock held of record which the shareholder demands that Professional Business Bank or Manhattan Bancorp, as applicable, purchase;
•: state that the shareholder is demanding purchase of the shares and payment of their fair market value; and
•: state the price that the shareholder claims to be the fair market value of the shares as of November 21, 2011, which statement of fair market value constitutes an offer by the shareholder to sell the shares to Professional Business Bank or Manhattan Bancorp, as applicable, at that price.

Any written demands for payment from Professional Business Bank shareholders should be sent to Professional Business Bank, 2700 E. Foothill Boulevard, Suite 200, Pasadena, CA 91107, Attention: Corporate Secretary. Shares of Professional Business Bank stock held by shareholders who have perfected their dissenters' rights in accordance with Chapter 13 of the CGCL and have not withdrawn their demands or otherwise lost their dissenters' rights are referred to in this summary as "dissenting shares."

Any written demands for payment from Manhattan Bancorp shareholders should be sent to Manhattan Bancorp, 2141 Rosecrans Avenue, Suite 1100, El Segundo, California 90245, Attention: Corporate Secretary. Shares of Manhattan Bancorp stock held by shareholders who have perfected their dissenters' rights in accordance with Chapter 13 of the CGCL and have not withdrawn their demands or otherwise lost their dissenters' rights are referred to in this summary as "dissenting shares."

Notice of Approval

If the merger agreement is approved by the Professional Business Bank shareholders and the Manhattan Bancorp shareholders, Professional Business Bank and Manhattan Bancorp are each required within 10 days after the approval to send to those shareholders who have not voted "FOR" approval of the merger agreement a written notice of the shareholder approval, accompanied by a copy of Sections 1300, 1301, 1302, 1303, and 1304 of the CGCL, a statement of the price determined by Professional Business Bank and Manhattan Bancorp to represent the fair market value of the dissenting shares of each company as of November 21, 2011, and a brief description of the procedure to be followed if the shareholder desires to exercise dissenters' right under the CGCL. The statement of price determined by Professional Business Bank and Manhattan Bancorp to represent the fair market value of dissenting shares, as set forth in the notice of approval, will constitute an offer by Professional Business Bank or Manhattan Bancorp, as applicable, to purchase the dissenting shares at the stated price if the mergers close and the dissenting shares do not otherwise lose their status as such. Within 30 days after the date of the mailing of the notice of shareholder approval, a dissenting shareholder must submit to Professional Business Bank or Manhattan Bancorp, as applicable, or its transfer agent, for endorsement as dissenting shares, the stock certificates representing the Professional Business Bank shares or Manhattan Bancorp shares, as applicable, as to which such shareholder is exercising dissenter's rights. If the dissenting shares are uncertificated, then such shareholder must provide written notice of the number of shares which the shareholder demands that Professional Business Bank or Manhattan Bancorp, as applicable, purchase within 30 days after the date of the mailing of the notice of shareholder approval.

Payment of Agreed upon Price

If Professional Business Bank or Manhattan Bancorp and a dissenting shareholder agree that the shares are dissenting shares and agree on the price of the shares, the dissenting shareholder is entitled to receive the agreed price with interest at the legal rate on judgments from the date of that agreement. Payment for the dissenting shares must be made within 30 days after the later of the date of that agreement or the date on which all statutory and contractual conditions to the mergers are satisfied. Payments are also conditioned on the surrender of the certificates representing the dissenting shares.

Determination of Dissenting Shares or Fair Market Value

If Professional Business Bank or Manhattan Bancorp denies that shares are dissenting shares or the shareholder fails to agree with Professional Business Bank or Manhattan Bancorp, as applicable, as to the fair market value of the shares, then, within six months after notice of approval of the mergers is sent by Professional Business Bank and Manhattan Bancorp to its shareholders, any shareholder demanding purchase of such shares as dissenting shares or any interested corporation may file a complaint in the superior court in the proper California county praying the court to determine whether the shares are dissenting shares or to determine the fair market value of the holder's shares, or both, or may intervene in any action pending on such complaint. If a complaint is not filed or intervention in a pending action is not made within the specified six-month period, the dissenter's rights are lost. If the fair market value of the dissenting shares is at issue, the court will determine, or will appoint one or more impartial appraisers to determine, such fair market value.

On the trial of the action, the court determines the issues. If the status of the shares as dissenting shares is in issue, the court first determines that issue. If the fair market value of the dissenting shares is in issue, the court determines, or appoints one or more impartial appraisers to determine, the fair market value of the shares.

If the court appoints an appraiser or appraisers, the appraiser or appraisers shall proceed to determine the fair market value per share. Within the time fixed by the court, the appraisers, or a majority of the appraisers, shall make and file a report in the office of the clerk of the court. Thereafter, on the motion of any party, the report shall be submitted to the court and considered on such evidence as the court considers relevant. If the court finds the report reasonable, the court may confirm it.

If a majority of the appraisers fail to make and file a report within ten days after the date of their appointment or within such further time as the court allows, or if the court does not confirm the report, the court determines the fair market value of the dissenting shares. Subject to Section 1306 of the CGCL, judgment is rendered against Professional Business Bank or Manhattan Bancorp, as applicable, for payment of an amount equal to the fair market value of each dissenting share multiplied by the number of dissenting shares that any dissenting shareholder who is a party, or who has intervened, is entitled to require Professional Business Bank or Manhattan Bancorp, as applicable, to purchase, with interest at the legal rate from the date on which the judgment is entered. Any party may appeal from the judgment.

The costs of the action, including reasonable compensation to the appraisers to be fixed by the court, is assessed or apportioned as the court considers equitable. However, if the appraisal determined by the court is more than the price offered by Professional Business Bank or Manhattan Bancorp, Professional Business Bank or Manhattan Bancorp, as applicable, will pay the costs (including, in the discretion of the court, attorneys' fees, fees of expert witnesses and interest at the legal rate on judgments from the date the shareholder made the demand and submitted shares for endorsement if the value awarded by the court for the shares is more than 125% of the price offered by Professional Business Bank or Manhattan Bancorp, as applicable).

Table of Contents

Maintenance of Dissenting Share Status

Except as expressly limited by Chapter 13 of the CGCL, holders of dissenting shares continue to have all the rights and privileges incident to their shares until the fair market value of their shares is agreed upon or determined. A holder of dissenting shares may not withdraw a demand for payment unless Professional Business Bank or Manhattan Bancorp, as applicable, consents to the withdrawal.

Dissenting shares lose their status as dissenting shares, and dissenting shareholders cease to be entitled to require Professional Business Bank or Manhattan Bancorp, as applicable, to purchase their shares, upon the happening of any of the following:

•: the mergers are abandoned;
•: the shares are transferred before their submission to Professional Business Bank or Manhattan Bancorp for the required endorsement;
•: the dissenting shareholder and Professional Business Bank or Manhattan Bancorp, as applicable, do not agree on the status of the shares as dissenting shares or do not agree on the purchase price, but neither Professional Business Bank or Manhattan Bancorp, as applicable, nor the shareholder files a complaint or intervenes in a pending action within six months after the date on which Professional Business Bank or Manhattan Bancorp, as applicable, mails a notice that its shareholders have approved the mergers; or
•: with Professional Business Bank's or Manhattan Bancorp's, as applicable, consent, the dissenting shareholder withdraws the shareholder's demand for purchase of the dissenting shares.

To the extent that the provisions of Chapter 5 of the CGCL (which place conditions on the power of a California corporation to make distributions to its shareholders) prevent the payment to any holders of dissenting shares of the fair market value of the dissenting shares, the dissenting shareholders will become creditors of Professional Business Bank or Manhattan Bancorp, as applicable, for the amount that they otherwise would have received in the repurchase of their dissenting shares, plus interest at the legal rate on judgments until the date of payment, but subordinate to all other creditors of Professional Business Bank in any liquidation proceeding, with the debt to be payable when permissible under the provisions of Chapter 5 of the CGCL.

The Merger Agreement

The following section of this document describes the material terms of the merger agreement. This summary is qualified in its entirety by reference to the complete text of the merger agreement, as amended, which is incorporated by reference and attached as Annexes A-1 and A-2 to this document. We urge you to read the full text of the merger agreement since it, and not the following description, constitutes the agreement of Manhattan Bancorp and Professional Business Bank.

Completion of the Mergers

The mergers will be completed when we file agreements of merger with the California Secretary of State and the OCC, as applicable. We may, however, agree to a later time for completion of each of the mergers and specify that time in each of the agreements of merger. The closing of the bank merger will take place on the third business day following the satisfaction or waiver of the closing conditions in the merger agreement, which are described below, unless we agree to another date.

The Mergers

The merger agreement requires Manhattan Bancorp and Professional Business Bank to cause Bank of Manhattan and Professional Business Bank, respectively, to enter into a bank merger agreement. The merger agreement provides for the merger of Professional Business Bank with and into Bank of

Table of Contents

Manhattan, with such merger to be completed concurrently with or as soon as reasonably practicable after the merger of CGB Holdings with and into Professional Business Bank.

Conditions to Completion of the Bank Merger

Conditions to Both Parties' Obligations

We may not complete the bank merger unless the following conditions are satisfied or, where legally permitted, waived:

•: the merger agreement must be approved by (i) the PBB Board, (ii) a majority of outstanding shares of common stock of Professional Business Bank, (ii) the boards of directors of Manhattan Bancorp and Bank of Manhattan, and (iv) a majority of the outstanding shares of common stock of Manhattan Bancorp;
•: we must obtain all necessary regulatory approvals of the bank merger from governmental authorities and all statutory waiting periods must have expired;
•: the CGBH merger shall have been completed;
•: no governmental authority shall have enacted, issued or enforced any statute, rule, regulation, judgment, decree, injunction or other order, either temporary, preliminary or permanent, which prohibits or makes illegal the consummation of the bank merger; and
•: each of Manhattan Bancorp and Professional Business Bank shall have received the written opinion of a nationally recognized investment banking firm at the time of execution of the merger agreement stating that the exchange ratio is fair to its shareholders from a financial point of view.

Conditions to Each Party's Obligations

Each party's obligation to complete the bank merger is also subject to the satisfaction or waiver of the following additional conditions:

•: a material adverse effect (as defined in the merger agreement) shall not have been suffered by Manhattan Bancorp, its subsidiaries, Professional Business Bank or CGB Holdings;
•: each of Manhattan Bancorp, Bank of Manhattan, Professional Business Bank and CGB Holdings shall have performed in all material respects all obligations required to be performed by them under the merger agreement; and
•: the representations and warranties of each of Professional Business Bank, Manhattan Bancorp, Bank of Manhattan and CGB Holdings in the merger agreement must be true and correct, subject to exceptions that would not have a material adverse effect on Manhattan Bancorp, Bank of Manhattan, Professional Business Bank or CGB Holdings, as the case may be.

The term "material adverse effect" is defined in the merger agreement to mean, with respect to any party to the agreement, any effect, change, development or occurrence that would materially impede the ability of such party to perform its obligations under the merger agreement or otherwise materially impede the consummation of the bank merger or is material and adverse to the financial condition, assets, deposits, results of operations, prospects or business of such party, taken as a whole. However, any change or event caused by or resulting from the following will not be deemed to have a material adverse effect:

•: changes in laws or regulations or interpretations thereof that are generally applicable to the banking or savings industries;

Table of Contents

•: changes in GAAP or regulatory accounting requirements that are generally applicable to the banking or savings industries;
•: changes in global, national or regional political conditions or general economic or market conditions in the U.S. and the state of California, including changes in prevailing interest rates, credit availability and liquidity, currency exchange rates, and price levels for reading volumes in the U.S. or foreign securities markets, affecting other companies in the financial services industry;
•: general changes in the credit markets or general downgrades in the credit markets;
•: actions or omissions of a party expressly required by the terms of the merger agreement or taken with the prior written consent of the other party or parties in contemplation of the bank merger;
•: the public announcement or consummation of the bank merger;
•: any failure to meet internal projections or forecasts of revenue, net income or any other measure of financial performance to be achieved in the future (but not including any underlying causes thereof);
•: changes in the market price of such party's common stock; or
•: any outbreak or escalation of hostilities, declared or undeclared acts of war or terrorism, except to the extent that the effects of such change disproportionately affect such party and its subsidiaries, taken as a whole, as compared to other companies in the industry in which such party and its subsidiaries operate.

Reasonable Best Efforts to Cause the Bank Merger to Occur

Each of the parties to the merger agreement have agreed to use their reasonable best efforts in good faith to take all actions and to do all things necessary, proper or desirable or advisable under applicable law to permit the consummation of the bank merger as promptly as practicable and to cooperate with the other parties to the merger agreement to that end. CGB Holdings and Professional Business Bank have each agreed to use their reasonable best efforts in good faith to take all actions and do all things necessary or advisable under applicable law to permit the consummation of the merger of CGB Holdings and Professional Business Bank as promptly as practicable.

Board Recommendation

Manhattan Bancorp and Professional Business Bank have each agreed that its board of directors will recommend to its shareholders the approval of the merger agreement. This agreement does not prohibit the Manhattan Board from making a change in its recommendation to shareholders to approve the bank merger under the circumstances described below. The merger agreement does not, however, relieve Manhattan Bancorp or Professional Business Bank, in the event of a change in its board's recommendation, from its obligation to submit the merger agreement to its shareholders for a vote on approval of the principal terms of the bank merger.

Acquisition Proposals

The merger agreement contains detailed provisions prohibiting Manhattan Bancorp from seeking an alternative transaction to the bank merger. Under these "no solicitation" provisions, Manhattan Bancorp has agreed that it shall cease any written or oral discussions, negotiations or communication with any other parties that may be ongoing with respect to the possibility or consideration of any acquisition proposal, as described below, and at the request of Professional Business Bank, enforce any confidentiality or similar agreement relating to any acquisition proposal, including by requesting that

Table of Contents

the other party promptly return or destroy any confidential information previously furnished by or on behalf of Manhattan Bancorp or any of its affiliates. Furthermore, Manhattan Bancorp has agreed that it shall not, and it shall cause its directors, officers or employees or any representative retained by it or any of its subsidiaries, not to:

•: initiate, solicit or encourage or knowingly facilitate any inquires or the making of an acquisition proposal (including by way of furnishing information or assistance);
•: provide any confidential information or data to any person relating to any acquisition proposal;
•: participate in any discussions or negotiations regarding any acquisition proposal;
•: waive, terminate, modify or fail to enforce any provision of any contractual "standstill" or similar obligations of any person other than Professional Business Bank or its affiliates;
•: approve or recommend, propose to approve or recommend, or execute or enter into, any letter of intent, agreement in principle, merger agreement, asset purchase agreement or share exchange agreement, option agreement or other similar agreement related to any acquisition proposal or propose to do any of the foregoing; or
•: make or authorize any statement, recommendation or solicitation in support of any acquisition proposal.

The merger agreement allows for an exception to the above prohibitions in the event that:

•: Manhattan Bancorp receives a superior proposal (as described below) that was not solicited by it and did not otherwise result from a breach of the merger agreement; and
•: the Manhattan Board determines in good faith that, after receipt of advice of outside counsel, that the failure of Manhattan Bancorp to participate in discussion or negotiations with, or provide information to, the party making the superior proposal, would be in violation of its fiduciary duties under applicable law.

In such an event, provided that Manhattan Bancorp gives notice to Professional Business Bank of its intention to do so, Manhattan Bancorp may provide information to the party making the superior proposal pursuant to a confidentiality agreement equivalent to that signed by the parties to the merger agreement and participate in discussions regarding the superior proposal.

For purposes of the merger agreement, the term "acquisition proposal" means any inquiry, proposal or offer, filing of any regulatory application or notice (whether in draft or final form) or disclosure of an intention to do any of the foregoing relating to any:

•: direct or indirect acquisition or purchase of any material assets or deposits of Manhattan Bancorp or Bank of Manhattan;
•: direct or indirect acquisition or purchase of 20% or more of any class of equity securities of Manhattan Bancorp or Bank of Manhattan; or
•: merger, consolidation, business combination, recapitalization, tender offer, stock purchase, liquidation, dissolution or similar transaction involving Manhattan Bancorp or Bank of Manhattan.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, "acquisition proposal" does not include any inquiry, proposal or offer, filing of any regulatory application or notice (whether in draft or final form) or disclosure of an intention to do any of the foregoing from any person relating to any of the following:

•: direct or indirect acquisition or purchase of any material assets of MCM or purchase of assets of MCM or any subsidiary of MCM;

Table of Contents

•: direct or indirect acquisition or purchase of 20% or more of any class of equity securities of MCM or any subsidiary of MCM; or
•: merger, consolidation, business combination, recapitalization, tender offer, stock purchase, liquidation, dissolution or similar transaction involving MCM or any subsidiary of MCM.

For purposes of the merger agreement, a "superior proposal" is a written bona fide offer made by a third party prior to receipt of requisite shareholder approval of the bank merger from the shareholders of Manhattan Bancorp to consummate an acquisition proposal, which the board of directors of Manhattan Bancorp determines, in its good faith judgment (after consultation with its financial advisor):

•: to be more favorable to Manhattan Bancorp shareholders from a financial point of view than the transactions contemplated by the merger agreement;
•: to be reasonably likely to be consummated, taking into account all legal, financial and regulatory aspects of the proposal; and
•: involves the acquisition of all the shares of Manhattan Bancorp common stock.

The merger agreement permits Manhattan Bancorp to comply with Rule 14d-9 and Rule 14e-2 under the Exchange Act with regard to any acquisition proposal that it may receive. Rule 14e-2 requires that the board of directors of a company whose shares are the subject of a tender offer state its position with respect to the tender offer or that it is unable to take a position with respect to the tender offer. Rule 14d-9 requires that persons making a solicitation or recommendation in connection with a tender offer, including the subject company's board of directors, make filings with the SEC providing certain information relating to the solicitation or recommendation and the parties involved. The "no solicitation" restrictions notwithstanding, if Manhattan Bancorp receives an unsolicited bona fide written acquisition proposal, it may engage in discussions and negotiations with or provide nonpublic information to the entity or person making the acquisition proposal, subject to the terms and conditions set forth above.

The "no solicitation" provisions of the merger agreement will not affect any of their other obligations under the merger agreement, including our respective obligations to call and hold meetings of our respective shareholders to vote on the merger agreement.

Termination

We may jointly agree to terminate the merger agreement at any time, whether before or after shareholder approval of the merger agreement. Either of us may also terminate the merger agreement, whether before or after approval of the merger agreement, if:

•: a governmental authority that must grant a material regulatory approval of the mergers denies such approval or a governmental authority permanently restrains or prohibits the mergers and, in either case, that denial or action is final and non-appealable, except that this termination right is not available to a party whose failure to comply with the merger agreement resulted in those actions by a governmental authority;
•: the mergers are not completed on or before June 30, 2012, or if the parties have used their reasonable best efforts in seeking approvals of governmental authorities and the mergers have not been consummated due to the delay or failure of any governmental authority to provide approvals, permits, registrations or other governmental consents required to consummate the mergers, this date shall be automatically extended to September 30, 2012 (except that this termination right is not available to a party whose failure to comply with the merger agreement resulted in the failure to complete the mergers by that date);

Table of Contents

•: the other party is in breach of its representations, warranties, covenants or agreements set forth in the merger agreement and the breach would excuse the non-breaching party's obligation to complete the mergers and the breach cannot be or is not cured within the shorter to occur of (i) September 30, 2012 or (ii) within 10 days after notice of the breach is delivered by the non-breaching party; or
•: any regulatory approvals required to consummate the mergers contain conditions, restrictions or requirements that the board of directors of Manhattan Bancorp, Bank of Manhattan or Professional Business Bank, as the case may be, or the manager or managing member of Fund Manager, determine in good faith would materially reduce the benefits of the mergers such that such party would not have entered into the merger agreement had such conditions, restrictions or requirements been known on the date of the merger agreement.

Additionally, the merger agreement provides that Manhattan Bancorp may terminate the merger agreement if:

•: neither Manhattan Bancorp nor Bank of Manhattan is in material breach of the terms of the merger agreement;
•: the Manhattan Board authorizes Manhattan Bancorp prior to the receipt of the approval of the requisite vote of shareholders of Manhattan Bancorp, to enter into a binding written agreement concerning a superior proposal and Manhattan Bancorp delivers Professional Business Bank and Fund Manager written notice to that effect, setting forth the material terms and conditions of the superior proposal, indicating that it intends to enter into such an agreement;
•: Professional Business Bank does not make, within ten business days of receipt of such notice, a proposal or offer that the Manhattan Board concludes in good faith (after consultation with Manhattan Bancorp's financial advisor) is no less favorable, from a financial point of view, to the shareholders of Manhattan Bancorp as the superior proposal; and
•: Manhattan Bancorp pays the termination fee and expense reimbursement set forth below.

Additionally, Professional Business Bank and Fund Manager each have the right to terminate the merger agreement if a superior proposal is made by a third party after the date of the merger agreement.

The merger agreement provides that Manhattan Bancorp may be required to pay a termination fee to Professional Business Bank of $300,000 and to reimburse Professional Business Bank, CGB Holdings and Fund Manager for out-of-pocket expenses incurred by them in connection with the merger agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby of up to $450,000 in the aggregate, as agreed upon liquidated damages and as the sole and exclusive remedy of Professional Business Bank under the merger agreement, in the event that:

•

the Manhattan Board fails to recommend approval of the merger agreement to the shareholders of Manhattan Bancorp or adversely alters or modifies its recommendation; and

•

approval of the requisite vote of shareholders of Manhattan Bancorp is not obtained, and:

•: Professional Business Bank is not, as of the date of such event, in material breach of the merger agreement;
•: Fund Manager has voted all shares of its Manhattan Bancorp common stock owned or controlled by the Funds in favor of the bank merger and merger agreement;
•: the representations and warranties of Professional Business Bank and CGB Holdings are true and correct in all respects as of such date;

Table of Contents

•: no material adverse effect has occurred with respect to Professional Business Bank and CGB Holdings, taken as a whole, as of such date; and
•: Professional Business Bank and CGB Holdings have performed in all material respects all obligations required to be performed by them under the merger agreement as of such date.

The termination and termination fee provisions described above and the provisions described in the section entitled "—Acquisition Proposals" above may discourage third parties from seeking to acquire or merge with Manhattan Bancorp or Professional Business Bank.

Actions Pending the Merger

Manhattan Bancorp, Bank of Manhattan, Professional Business Bank and CGB Holdings have agreed not to, and not to permit their respective subsidiaries to, conduct their respective businesses other than in the ordinary and usual course consistent with past practice, in compliance with all laws and prudent business and banking practices, or to enter into any new line of business, introduce new products or services, or change their lending, investment, underwriting or other material banking and operating policies. They have also agreed to use reasonable best efforts to preserve their business organizations, keep available the present services of their employees and preserve the goodwill of their respective customers and others with whom business relations exist.

Additional Agreements

Manhattan Bancorp, Bank of Manhattan, Professional Business Bank and CGB Holdings have agreed to cooperate with the other and to use their reasonable best efforts to:

•: obtain any consent, authorization, order or approval of, or any exemption by, any governmental authority or any other third party which is required to be obtained in connection with the bank merger or the CGBH merger unless, in each case, it will require any of the parties or the combined bank to pay any amounts (other than customary filing fees) or divest any banking office, or impose any conditions that would, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the present or prospective consolidated financial condition, business or operating results of the combined bank after the bank merger.

The merger agreement also contains covenants relating to cooperation between Manhattan Bancorp and Professional Business Bank in the preparation of this document and additional agreements between Manhattan Bancorp and Professional Business Bank relating to, among other things, consultation regarding transition matters, access to information, mutual notice of specified matters, communications with governmental authorities, the assumption of Professional Business Bank's outstanding debt by Manhattan Bancorp upon the completion of the bank merger, directors' and officers' insurance and related indemnification matters, public announcements and tax matters.

Bank of Manhattan has agreed to allow employees of Professional Business Bank to participate in employee benefit plans on the same terms available to similarly situated employees of Bank of Manhattan, with full credit for purposes of eligibility and vesting for prior service and without any waiting periods, evidence of insurability or application of any pre-existing condition limitations.

UNAUDITED PRO FORMA COMBINED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The following unaudited pro forma combined condensed consolidated financial information and explanatory notes illustrate the effect of the bank merger on Manhattan Bancorp's financial position and results of operations based upon the our respective historical financial positions and results of operations under the acquisition method of accounting with Professional Business Bank treated as the acquirer (subsequent to the merger with CGB Holdings). The unaudited pro forma combined condensed consolidated financial information has been derived from and should be read in conjunction with the historical consolidated financial statements and the related notes of Manhattan Bancorp and Professional Business Bank, which are incorporated by reference or included elsewhere in this joint proxy statement/prospectus. We have presented the historic consolidated financial statements of CGB Holdings as opposed to the historic consolidated financial statements of Professional Business Bank, as the combination of Manhattan Bancorp and Professional Business Bank will occur following the merger of CGB Holdings into Professional Business Bank.

In accordance with GAAP, the assets and liabilities of Manhattan Bancorp will be recorded by Professional Business Bank at their estimated fair values as of the date the bank merger is completed. The unaudited pro forma combined condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2011 assumes the bank merger took place on that date. The unaudited pro forma combined condensed consolidated income statement for the year ended December 31, 2011 assumes the bank merger took place on January 1, 2011.

The pro forma financial information includes Professional Business Bank's estimated adjustments to record assets and liabilities of Manhattan Bancorp at their respective fair values. These adjustments are subject to change depending on changes in interest rates and the components of assets and liabilities as of the bank merger date and as additional information becomes available and additional analyses are performed. The final amount and allocation of the purchase price will be determined after the bank merger is completed and after completion of further analyses to determine the fair value of Manhattan Bancorp's tangible and identifiable intangible assets and liabilities as of the date the bank merger is completed. Increases or decreases in the estimated fair values of the net assets acquired as compared with the information shown in the unaudited pro forma combined condensed consolidated financial information may change the amount of the purchase price allocated to goodwill and other assets and liabilities and may impact Manhattan Bancorp's statements of income due to adjustments in yield and/or amortization of the adjusted assets or liabilities.

Any changes to Manhattan Bancorp's stockholders' equity, including results of operations from December 31, 2011 through the date the bank merger is completed, will also change the purchase price allocation, which may include the recording of a lower or higher amount of goodwill. The final adjustments may be materially different from the unaudited pro forma adjustments presented herein.

Manhattan Bancorp anticipates that the merger with Professional Business Bank will provide the combined bank with financial benefits that include reduced combined operating expenses. The pro forma information, which is intended to illustrate the financial characteristics of the bank merger and the combined bank under one set of assumptions, does not reflect the benefits of expected cost savings or opportunities to earn additional revenues, or all integration costs that may be incurred and, accordingly, should not be considered a prediction of future results. It also does not necessarily reflect what the historical results of the combined bank would have been had our companies been combined during the period shown.

The unaudited pro forma stockholders' equity and net income should not be considered indicative of the market value of Manhattan Bancorp's common stock or the actual or future results of operations of Manhattan Bancorp for any period. Actual results may be materially different than the pro forma information presented.

NOTE 1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The unaudited pro forma combined condensed consolidated financial information related to the bank merger includes the unaudited pro forma combined condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2011, which assumes that the bank merger was completed on December 31, 2011. The unaudited pro forma combined condensed consolidated income statements for the year ended December 31, 2011 were prepared assuming that the bank merger was completed on January 1, 2011. The number of Manhattan Bancorp shares issued in the bank merger is based upon an exchange ratio using the respective book values of Manhattan Bancorp and Professional Business Bank common stock, adjusted for certain merger related expenses. The adjusted book value per share of Manhattan Bancorp common stock used in the exchange ratio does not represent the fair value of such shares, nor does the trading price of Manhattan Bancorp common stock, as such common stock is very thinly traded. For the purposes of the pro forma combined condensed consolidated financial statements, the fair value of the outstanding shares of Manhattan Bancorp is currently estimated at approximately $19.7 million, which is based on a price of $4.94 per share (the fair value of Manhattan Bancorp common stock on December 31, 2011 as determined by the Funds in valuing their interest in Manhattan Bancorp) of Manhattan Bancorp common stock. The valuation of Manhattan Bancorp common stock was derived using a variety of valuation techniques including Level 1, Level 2 and Level 3 inputs. Specifically, the trading price of Manhattan Bancorp stock (Level 1 input), the trading values of comparable California community banks (Level 2 input) and a discounted cash flow analysis of the combined Manhattan Bancorp and Professional Business Bank (Level 3 input) were used together to arrive at the stated indication of fair value of Manhattan Bancorp as of December 31, 2011. The pro forma adjustments included herein reflect the conversion of Professional Business Bank common stock into Manhattan Bancorp common stock at the exchange ratio stated in the merger agreement of 1.6860 of a share of Manhattan Bancorp common stock for each of the approximately 4.5 million shares of Professional Business Bank common stock outstanding as of December 31, 2011.

The bank merger will be accounted for as an acquisition of Manhattan Bancorp by Professional Business Bank in accordance with the acquisition method of accounting as detailed in ASC 805-10 (previously SFAS No. 141(R)), Business Combinations. The acquisition method of accounting requires an acquirer to recognize the assets acquired, the liabilities assumed and any non-controlling interest in the acquiree based on their fair values as of the date of acquisition. As described in more detail in ASC 805-10, goodwill, if any, will be recognized as of the acquisition date, in the amount equal to the excess of the consideration transferred over the fair value of identifiable net assets acquired. Based on Manhattan Bancorp's preliminary purchase price allocation, goodwill of approximately $5.7 million is currently expected to be recorded in the period the bank merger is completed.

As the bank merger is recorded using the acquisition method of accounting, all loans of Manhattan Bancorp are recorded at fair value, including adjustments for credit, and no allowance for credit losses is carried over to Professional Business Bank's balance sheet. In addition, certain anticipated nonrecurring costs associated with the bank merger, such as severance costs, accounting fees, legal and other professional fees and conversion related expenditures, are not reflected in the pro forma statements of income.

While the recording of the acquired loans at their fair value will impact the prospective determination of the provision for loan losses and the allowance for loan losses, for purposes of the unaudited pro forma combined condensed consolidated income statements for the year ended December 31, 2011, we assumed no adjustments to the historical amount of provision for credit losses.

NOTE 1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION (Continued)

If such adjustments were estimated, there could be a reduction, which could be significant, to the historical amounts of provision for credit losses presented.

The historical financial results of Manhattan Bancorp include merger and acquisition integration costs of $584,000 for the year ended December 31, 2011. These integration costs primarily consisted of legal fees and due diligence related costs.

The pro forma information for Professional Business Bank assumes that the first merger between Professional Business Bank and CGB Holdings has occurred on January 1, 2012. Professional Business Bank is the accounting acquirer in the first merger and the surviving entity is Professional Business Bank. This merger will be accounted for similar to a pooling of interests because the entities are under common control and the assets and liabilities of each entity are recorded at historical cost.

The historical financial results of Professional Business Bank for the year ended December 31, 2011 include $209,000 of professional fees associated with the bank merger.

The valuation of Manhattan Bancorp common stock was derived using a variety of valuation techniques including Level 1, Level 2 and Level 3 inputs.

(2): The carrying value of Manhattan Bancorp net assets at December 31, 2011 of $17,987 is equal to Manhattan Bancorp's total assets less liabilities at that date.

NOTE 3. PRELIMINARY PRO FORMA ADJUSTMENTS

A. Adjustment to equity reflects the acquisition of Professional Business Bank by the issuance of approximately 7.6 million shares of Manhattan Bancorp common stock, which was calculated by multiplying Professional Business Bank's approximately 4.5 million shares outstanding as of December 31, 2011 by the merger exchange ratio of 1.6860. The adjustments to common shareholders' equity represent the reversal of the historical Manhattan Bancorp shareholders' common equity components and adding the value of the Manhattan Bancorp outstanding shares by multiplying the 3,997,681 outstanding shares by the fair value amount of $4.94 per share, or $19,748. Common shareholders' equity is also adjusted for expenses expected to be incurred subsequent to December 31, 2011; these expected expenses are comprised of severance costs, professional fees, and other contract termination expenses. The following table details the pro forma adjustments made to common shareholders' equity.

	Reverse Historical Manhattan Bancorp			Value of Manhattan Shares		Expected Transaction Expenses			Total Adjustment

Common stock	$	(38,977	)	$	19,748	$	—		$	(19,229	)
Additional paid in capital		(2,338	)		—		—			(2,338	)
Unrealized gain on available-for-sale securities		(277	)		—		—			(277	)
Accumulated deficit		23,605			—		(1,670	)		21,935

Total common shareholders' equity	$	(17,987	)	$	19,748	$	(1,670	)		91

B. The fair value of the loan portfolio being acquired from Manhattan Bancorp is estimated by Professional Business Bank to be less than the net book value of the related assets. Based on management's judgment, in the aggregate we applied a discount equal to approximately 6.3% of Manhattan Bancorp's loan portfolio that is held for investment to estimate the fair value at December 31, 2011. The following table details the adjustments made to adjust the Manhattan Bancorp loan portfolio of loans held for investment to their fair value.

	Credit Discount			Yield Discount			Total Discount

Loans valued in pools	$	(1,850	)	$	(2,448	)	$	(4,298	)
Loans individually valued		(2,028	)		(365	)		(2,393	)

Totals	$	(3,878	)	$	(2,813	)	$	(6,691	)

This adjustment reflects our estimates of both market rate differential and the potential adjustments required by FASB ASC 310-30, Receivables—Loans and Debt Securities Acquired with Deteriorated Credit Quality. The loan portfolio was segmented by loans that were deemed to be impaired and those that were not. Impaired loans were individually valued where unimpaired loans were further segmented into pools based upon loan type and interest rate characteristics. Potential loss factors and discount rates were applied to the respective pools of unimpaired loans commensurate with

NOTE 3. PRELIMINARY PRO FORMA ADJUSTMENTS (Continued)

the characteristics of the loans in each pool. Because the acquired loans are recorded at fair value at the acquisition date, there is no carryover of Manhattan Bancorp's allowance for loan losses of approximately $2.0 million.

In accordance with GAAP, subsequent to the effective date Manhattan Bancorp will record the fair value difference pertaining to market rate differential into interest income over the weighted average remaining term of the loan portfolio, which is estimated to be approximately five years. In addition, the fact that the loans acquired with deteriorated credit quality are recorded at fair value at acquisition date could result in a reduction in the amount of loan loss provision expense required on these loans in the future.

C. The loan fair value adjustment pertaining to market rate differential will be recognized over the estimated weighted average remaining life of the loan portfolio of approximately five years. The accretion for the first five years after the effective date is estimated to be approximately $813,000, $667,000, $645,000, $430,000, and $258,000, before tax.

D. The fair value of premises and equipment being acquired from Manhattan Bancorp is estimated by Professional Business Bank to be below the book value of such assets primarily due to the improvements made by Manhattan Bancorp for its headquarters branch. The depreciation in value of the properties is expected to primarily be from the depreciation in value of leasehold improvements.

E. The fair value of certificate of deposit liabilities is estimated by Professional Business Bank to be above the face amount of such deposits by approximately $165,000. The following table details the computed fair value marks by category of certificate of deposit.

	Amount		Fair Market Value

Retails CDs	$	19,955	$	13	0.07	%
IRAs		520		1	0.19	%
Listed CDs		19,345		151	0.78	%
Brokered CDs		37,000		—

Total certificates of deposit	$	76,820	$	165	0.21	%

In accordance with GAAP, subsequent to the effective date, Manhattan Bancorp will record amortization to the face amount in interest expense over the remaining term of the deposits. The amortization for the first 12 months after the effective date is estimated to be approximately $116,000 as the majority of the deposits are estimated to mature within one year.

F. Adjustment to other assets includes a core deposit intangible of $1.0 million and goodwill of $5.7 million. A core deposit intangible arises from a financial institution or a financial institution branch having a deposit base comprised of funds associated with stable customer relationships. These customer relationships provide a cost benefit to the acquiring institution since the associated customer deposits typically are at lower interest rates and can be expected to be retained on a long-term basis. Deposit customer relationships have value due to their favorable interest rates in comparison to market rates for alternative funding sources with expected lives comparable to expected lives of the core deposits. The discounted cash flow method is based upon the principle of future benefits; economic value tends to be based on anticipated future benefits as measured by cash flows expected to occur in

the future. In determining this value, Manhattan Bancorp and Professional Business Bank have considered recently completed transactions and the overall value assigned to the DDA, NOW, Money Market and Savings approximated 1.2% as a result of the cost of these deposits being lower than the cost of comparable alternative funding sources. The following table provides detail on the valuation of the core customer base of Manhattan Bancorp.

	Amount		Customer Value

Core customer accounts:
Non-interest bearing demand	$	51,725	$	224	0.43	%
Interest bearing demand		4,599		75	1.63	%
Money market and savings accounts		30,531		526	1.72	%
Tax benefit of intangible amortization				194

Totals	$	86,855	$	1,019	1.17	%

G. This presentation assumes amortization of the core deposit intangible on a straight-line basis over seven years, which approximates $146,000 for the first year. Amortization of the core deposit intangible could accelerate based upon the actual customer retention experience. An adjustment to non-interest expense was made to amortize $146,000 for year ended December 31, 2011.

H. Adjustment to reverse merger and acquisition expenses included in the historical financial results of Manhattan Bancorp and Professional Business Bank of $584,000 and $209,000, respectively.

I. The amount of pro forma combined total shares outstanding is calculated by adding Manhattan Bancorp's 3,997,631 historical shares outstanding at December 31, 2011 and Professional Business Bank's pro forma equivalent shares, which were calculated by multiplying Professional Business Bank's 4,513,501 historical shares outstanding at December 31, 2011 by the merger exchange ratio of 1.6860, or 7,609,763 shares.

J. The amount of pro forma combined weighted average shares outstanding for basic earnings per share is calculated by adding Manhattan Bancorp's 3,993,850 historical weighted average shares outstanding for the twelve months ended December 31, 2011 to the shares issued in connection with bank merger, which were calculated by multiplying Professional Business Bank's 4,513,501 historical shares outstanding at December 31, 2011 by the merger exchange ratio of 1.6860, or 7,609,763 shares. The amount of pro forma combined weighted average shares outstanding for diluted earnings per share also includes the 102,758 shares of unvested restricted stock at Professional Business Bank that will be converted at the same exchange ratio into 173,250 shares of Manhattan Bancorp restricted stock for a total of 7,783,013 shares. All options outstanding at this date were antidilutive, so the same number of weighted averages shares outstanding is used to compute basic and diluted earnings per share. At December 31, 2011 Manhattan Bancorp had outstanding options to purchase a total of 585,693 shares of Manhattan Bancorp common stock with a weighted average exercise price of $8.40 per share. At this same date, Professional Business Bank had outstanding options to purchase 108,159 shares of Professional Business Bank common stock at $10.00 per share; these options would be converted at the close of the merger for options to purchase 182,356 shares of Manhattan Bancorp common stock at a weighted average exercise price of $5.93 per share.

DESCRIPTION OF MANHATTAN BANCORP CAPITAL STOCK

As a result of the bank merger, Professional Business Bank shareholders will become shareholders of Manhattan Bancorp. Your rights as shareholders of Manhattan Bancorp will be governed by the CGCL, the articles of incorporation, as amended, and the bylaws of Manhattan Bancorp. The following description of the material terms of Manhattan Bancorp's capital stock, including the common stock to be issued in the bank merger, reflects the anticipated state of affairs upon completion of the bank merger.

General

Manhattan Bancorp's authorized capital stock consists of 30,000,000 shares of common stock, no par value, and 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock, no par value. As of the record date for the Manhattan Bancorp annual meeting, 3,997,631 shares of Manhattan Bancorp common stock and no shares of preferred stock were outstanding.

In addition, as of the record date, 585,693 shares of Manhattan Bancorp common stock were reserved for issuance upon conversion or exercise of outstanding stock options and awards.

Manhattan Bancorp anticipates that there will be approximately 12,000,000 shares of Manhattan Bancorp common stock and no shares of preferred stock outstanding at the effective time of the bank merger.

Manhattan Bancorp's capital stock, both common and preferred, constitutes non-withdrawable capital and is not insured by the FDIC. All of the outstanding shares of Manhattan Bancorp common and preferred stock are, and the shares of Manhattan Bancorp common stock issued in connection with the bank merger will be, fully paid and nonassessable.

Because Manhattan Bancorp is a holding company, the rights of Manhattan Bancorp to participate in any distribution of assets of any subsidiary, including Bank of Manhattan, upon its liquidation or reorganization or otherwise (and thus the ability of Manhattan Bancorp's shareholders to benefit indirectly from such distribution) would be subject to the prior claims of creditors of that subsidiary, except to the extent that Manhattan Bancorp itself may be a creditor of that subsidiary with recognized claims. Claims on Manhattan Bancorp's subsidiaries by creditors other than Manhattan Bancorp will include substantial obligations with respect to deposit liabilities and purchased funds.

Manhattan Bancorp Common Stock

Each share of Manhattan Bancorp common stock has the same relative rights as, and is identical in all respects with, each other share of Manhattan Bancorp common stock.

Voting Rights

Holders of Manhattan Bancorp common stock are entitled to one vote per share on all matters requiring shareholder action (except as described below in connection with the election of directors) and are vested with all of the voting power except as the Manhattan Board has provided, or may provide in the future, with respect to preferred stock or any other class or series of preferred stock that the Manhattan Board may hereafter authorize.

Holders of Manhattan Bancorp common stock have cumulative voting rights for the election of directors. This means that a shareholder has the right to vote the number of shares owned by him or her for as many candidates as there are directors to be elected, or to cumulate his or her shares and give one candidate as many votes as the number of directors multiplied by the number of shares owned shall equal, or to distribute them on the same principle among as many candidates as he or she deems appropriate. In any election of directors, the candidates receiving the highest number of affirmative votes, up to the number of directors to be elected, are elected as directors.

106

Table of Contents

Any action that may be taken at any meeting of the shareholders may be taken without a meeting, without a vote and without prior notice, if a consent in writing, setting forth the action so taken, is signed by the holders of outstanding shares having not less than the minimum number of votes that would be necessary to authorize or take such action at a meeting at which all shares entitled to vote thereon were present and voted. Except for the election of a director by written consent to fill a vacancy, directors may be elected by written consent only by the unanimous written consent of all shares entitled to vote for the election of directors. In the case of an election of a director by written consent to fill a vacancy, any such election requires the consent of a majority of the outstanding shares entitled to vote for the election of directors.

Dividends

Holders of Manhattan Bancorp common stock may receive dividends when, as and if declared by the Manhattan Board out of funds legally available for the payment of dividends, subject to any restrictions imposed by regulatory authorities and the payment of any preferential amounts to which any class of preferred stock may be entitled. Manhattan Bancorp presently intends to follow a policy of retaining earnings, if any, for the purpose of increasing its net worth and reserves. Accordingly, it is anticipated that no cash dividends will be declared in the foreseeable future, and no assurance can be given that Manhattan Bancorp's earnings will permit the payment of dividends of any kind in the future. The future dividend policy of Manhattan Bancorp will be subject to the discretion of the Manhattan Board and will depend upon a number of factors, including future earnings, financial condition, liquidity, and general business conditions. Manhattan Bancorp's ability to pay dividends is subject to statutory and regulatory limitations applicable to Manhattan Bancorp or to Bank of Manhattan.

As a bank holding company, Manhattan Bancorp's ability to pay dividends is affected by the ability of its subsidiaries to pay dividends to Manhattan Bancorp. Bank of Manhattan is a national banking association and is subject to restrictions under both federal and state laws and regulations which limit its ability to transfer funds to Manhattan Bancorp through cash dividends or through intercompany loans or advances. Pursuant to 12 U.S.C. 60(b), the approval of the OCC is required, if the total of all dividends declared by a national bank in any calendar year shall exceed the total of its net profits for that year combined with its net profits for the two preceding years, less any required transfers to surplus or a fund for the retirement of any preferred stock. The OCC has adopted guidelines, which set forth factors to be considered by a national bank in determining the payment of dividends. A national bank, in assessing the payment of dividends, is to evaluate the bank's capital position, its maintenance of an adequate allowance for loan and lease losses, and the need to review or develop a comprehensive capital plan, complete with financial projections, budgets and dividend guidelines. Therefore, the payment of dividends by a national bank is also governed by its ability to maintain minimum required capital levels and an adequate allowance for loan and lease losses. Additionally, pursuant to 12 U.S.C. 1818(b), the OCC may prohibit the payment of any dividend that would constitute an unsafe and unsound banking practice.

Manhattan Bancorp's ability and the ability of any non-bank subsidiary of Manhattan Bancorp to pay dividends may also be limited by applicable state law. For example, the CGCL prohibits Manhattan Bancorp from paying dividends on its common stock unless: (i) its retained earnings equal at least the amount of the proposed dividend, or (ii) if Manhattan Bancorp does not have sufficient retained earnings available for the proposed dividend, it may pay a dividend to its shareholders if immediately after giving effect to the dividend, the value of its assets equals or exceeds the sum of (a) its total liabilities plus (b) the liquidation preference of any shares which have a preference upon dissolution over the rights of shareholders receiving the distribution.

107

Table of Contents

Liquidation Preference

Holders of Manhattan Bancorp common stock are not entitled to a liquidation preference in respect of those shares. Upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up of Manhattan Bancorp, the holders of Manhattan Bancorp common stock would be entitled to share ratably in all assets remaining after the payment of all liabilities of Manhattan Bancorp and of all preferential amounts to which any preferred stock may be entitled.

Other Matters

The holders of Manhattan Bancorp common stock have no preemptive or other subscription rights. Manhattan Bancorp common stock is not subject to call or redemption.

Restrictions on Ownership of Manhattan Bancorp Common Stock

The BHCA requires any "bank holding company" (as defined in that Act) to obtain the approval of the Federal Reserve Board prior to acquiring more than 5% of Manhattan Bancorp's outstanding common stock. Any corporation or other company that becomes a holder of 25% or more of Manhattan Bancorp's outstanding common stock, or 5% or more of Manhattan Bancorp's common stock under certain circumstances, would be subject to regulation as a bank holding company under the BHCA. In addition, any person other than a bank holding company may be required to obtain prior approval of the Federal Reserve Board to acquire 10% or more of Manhattan Bancorp's outstanding common stock under the Change in Bank Control Act of 1978.

Preferred Stock

Manhattan Bancorp may issue up to 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock with such designations, powers, preferences and rights as the Manhattan Board may from time to time determine. The Manhattan Board can, without shareholder approval, issue preferred stock in one or more series with voting, dividend, liquidation and conversion rights that could dilute the voting strength of the holders of the common stock and may assist management in impeding an unfriendly takeover or attempted change in control. The issuance of preferred stock could adversely affect the voting power of holders of common stock and the likelihood that such holders will receive dividend payments and payments upon liquidation. Furthermore, those shares that may be issued in the future may have other rights, including economic rights senior to Manhattan Bancorp common stock, and, as a result, could have a material adverse effect on the market value of Manhattan Bancorp's common stock.

Anti-Takeover Provisions

Provisions of the CGCL, federal banking regulations and the articles of incorporation and bylaws of Manhattan Bancorp may delay, defer or prevent a change of control of Manhattan Bancorp and/or limit the price that certain investors may be willing to pay in the future for shares of Manhattan Bancorp's common stock.

California Corporations Code

Under the CGCL, most business combinations, including mergers, consolidations and sales of substantially all of the assets of a California corporation, must be approved by the vote of the holders of at least a majority of the outstanding shares of common stock and any other affected class of stock of such corporation. The articles or bylaws of a California corporation may, but are not required to, set a higher standard for approval of such transactions. The CGCL also provides certain restrictions on business combinations involving interested parties.

108

Table of Contents

Banking Regulations

The BHCA and the Change in Bank Control Act, together with Federal regulations, require that, depending on the particular circumstances, either regulatory approval must be obtained or notice must be furnished to the appropriate regulatory agencies and not disapproved prior to any person or entity acquiring "control" of a national bank, such as Bank of Manhattan. These provisions may prevent a merger or acquisition that would be attractive to shareholders and could limit the price investors would be willing to pay in the future for Manhattan Bancorp's common stock.

Advance Notice Provisions for Shareholder Nominations and Shareholder Proposals

Nominations for directors may be made by the Manhattan Board or by any holder of record of any outstanding class of capital stock of Manhattan Bancorp entitled to vote for the election of directors. Nominations for directors, other than those approved by the Manhattan Board, must be made in writing and must be received by the president of Manhattan Bancorp not more than 60 days prior to any meeting of shareholders, and no more than 10 days after the date the notice of such meeting is sent to shareholders; provided, however, that if only 10 days' notice of the meeting is given to shareholders, such notice of intention to nominate must be received by the president of Manhattan Bancorp not later than the time fixed in the notice of the meeting for the opening of the meeting.

Blank Check Preferred Stock

Subject to certain limitations, the Manhattan Board has the authority to designate the rights and preferences of, and issue one or more series of, preferred stock without shareholder approval. The issuance of shares of preferred stock, or the issuance of rights to purchase such shares, could be used to discourage an unsolicited acquisition proposal.

Payment of Dividends

Manhattan Bancorp		Professional Business Bank

The CGCL permits the payment of dividends to shareholders if Manhattan Bancorp's retained earnings equal at least the amount of the proposed dividend. If Manhattan Bancorp does not have sufficient retained earnings available for the proposed dividend, it may pay a dividend to its shareholders if immediately after giving effect to the dividend, the value of its assets equals or exceeds the sum of (a) its total liabilities plus (b) the liquidation preference of any shares which have a preference upon dissolution over the rights of shareholders receiving the distribution. Furthermore, as a bank holding company, Manhattan Bancorp's ability to declare dividends depends primarily on the dividends it receives from Bank of Manhattan and its other subsidiaries. The dividend practice of Manhattan Bancorp's subsidiaries, like the dividend practice of Manhattan Bancorp, will depend upon each such subsidiary's earnings, financial position, current and anticipated cash requirements and other factors deemed relevant by such subsidiary's board of directors at the time. The ability of Bank of Manhattan to pay cash dividends is subject to 12 U.S.C. 56, which states that no bank may pay dividends from its capital; all dividends must be paid out of net profits then on hand, after deducting for expenses including losses and bad debts. The payment of dividends out of net profits of a national bank is further limited by 12 U.S.C. 60(a), which prohibits a bank from declaring a dividend on its shares of common stock until the surplus fund equals the amount of capital stock, or if the surplus fund does not equal the amount of capital stock, until one-tenth of the bank's net profits of the preceding half-year, in the case of quarterly or semi-annual dividends, or the preceding two consecutive half-year periods, in the case of annual dividends, are transferred to the surplus fund before each dividend is declared.		The CGCL permits the payment of dividends to shareholders if Professional Business Bank's retained earnings equal at least the amount of the proposed dividend. If Professional Business Bank does not have sufficient retained earnings available for the proposed dividend, it may pay a dividend to its shareholders if immediately after giving effect to the dividend, the value of its assets equals or exceeds the sum of (a) its total liabilities plus (b) the liquidation preference of any shares which have a preference upon dissolution over the rights of shareholders receiving the distribution. Furthermore, under the California Financial Code, Professional Business Bank is permitted to pay a dividend in the following circumstances: (i) without the consent of either the DFI or Professional Business Bank's shareholders, in an amount not exceeding the lesser of (a) the retained earnings of Professional Business Bank; or (b) the net income of Professional Business Bank for its last three fiscal years; (ii) with the prior approval of the DFI, in an amount not exceeding the greatest of: (a) the retained earnings of Professional Business Bank; (b) the net income of Professional Business Bank for its last fiscal year; or (c) the net income for Professional Business Bank for its current fiscal year; and (iii) with the prior approval of the DFI and Professional Business Bank's shareholders in connection with a reduction of its contributed capital. Finally, under federal law, Professional Business Bank is prohibited from paying any dividends if after making such payment it would fail to meet any of its minimum regulatory capital requirements.

Manhattan Bancorp		Professional Business Bank

Pursuant to 12 U.S.C. 60(b), the approval of the OCC is required, if the total of all dividends declared by a national bank in any calendar year shall exceed the total of its net profits for that year combined with its net profits for the two preceding years, less any required transfers to surplus or a fund for the retirement of any preferred stock. The OCC has adopted guidelines indicating that a national bank, in assessing the payment of dividends, should evaluate the bank's capital position, its maintenance of an adequate allowance for loan and lease losses, and the need to review or develop a comprehensive capital plan, complete with financial projections, budgets and dividend guidelines. Thus, the payment of dividends by a national bank is also governed by its ability to maintain minimum required capital levels and an adequate allowance for loan and lease losses. Additionally, pursuant to 12 U.S.C. 1818(b), the OCC may prohibit the payment of any dividend that would constitute an unsafe and unsound banking practice. Shareholders of Manhattan Bancorp are entitled to receive dividends only when and if declared by the Manhattan Board.

Management's Discussion And Analysis Of Financial Condition And Results Of Operations Of CGB Holdings, Inc.

This discussion presents the analysis of CGB Holdings' financial condition and results of operations as of and for the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010. This discussion includes a discussion and analysis of the historic consolidated financial statements of CGB Holdings as opposed to the historic consolidated financial statements of Professional Business Bank, as the combination of Manhattan Bancorp and Professional Business Bank will occur following the merger of CGB Holdings into Professional Business Bank. This discussion is designed to provide shareholders with a more comprehensive review of the operating results and financial position than could be obtained from an examination of the financial statements alone. The discussion should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements of CGB Holdings, and the respective notes related thereto which appear elsewhere in this joint proxy statement/prospectus.

History of mergers and acquisitions

CGB Holdings (which is owned by the Funds) acquired approximately 80% of the issued and outstanding shares of California General Bank on March 9, 2009. Therefore, the 2009 financial information included in the Selected Financial Data includes the results of operations for CGB Holdings and its majority- owned subsidiary California General Bank N.A. (a de novo bank) from the period beginning March 9, 2009 (commencement of operations) to December 31, 2009. On December 31, 2010, CGB Holdings acquired 100% of the outstanding stock of Professional Business Bank, which we refer to as pre-merger Professional Business Bank, and merged pre-merger Professional Business Bank into its majority-owned subsidiary, California General Bank. The surviving bank in the merger was California General Bank; however, the newly merged bank was immediately renamed Professional Business Bank. In addition, on December 31, 2010 CGB Holdings formed a wholly-owned subsidiary, CGB Asset Management, Inc., which we refer to as CGBAM, and certain problem loans and assets of pre-merger Professional Business Bank were purchased by CGBAM. The net assets of CGBAM were subsequently acquired by the Funds on March 31, 2011 and as a result, the results of operations of CGB Holdings include only three months of activity related to the operations of CGBAM. The Selected Financial Data as of and for the year ended December 31, 2010 includes the results of operations of CGB Holdings and its newly merged subsidiary, Professional Business Bank and CGBAM, however, since the merger took place on December 31, 2010, the results of operations only include a full year of operations from the original California General Bank which was a de novo bank at the time of the acquisition and does not include the results of operations from pre-merger Professional Business Bank. The selected financial data as of and for the year ended December 31, 2011 includes the results of operations of the combined bank for a full year. As a result, when comparing the results of operations from 2011, 2010 and 2009, the information will differ and may not be comparable. In addition, the discussion and tables which follow in Management's Discussion And Analysis Of Financial Condition And Results Of Operations Of CGB Holdings are also affected by the mergers and acquisitions described above.

The 2011 net loss is attributable to the difference in operations due to the merger, however, there was a $13.0 million increase in net interest income and a $1.4 million reduction in non interest income, offset by a $10.4 million increase in noninterest expense and $2.7 million increase in the provision for loan losses.

Total assets decreased from $329 million at December 31, 2010 to $239 million at December 31, 2011, a decrease of $90 million, or 27%. Net loans decreased from $210 million at December 31, 2010 to $166 million at December 31, 2011, a decrease of $44 million, or 21%. Net deposits decreased from $275 million at December 31, 2010 to $201 million at December 31, 2011, a decrease of $74 million, or 27% of which $77 million was related to the maturity of brokered and wholesale deposits, with the remainder being the run off of non-relationship based higher rate time deposits previously attracted by pricing promotions.

Critical Accounting Policies

CGB Holdings' consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The financial information contained within these statements is, to a significant extent, financial information that is based on approximate measures of the financial effects of transactions and events that have already occurred. Based on its consideration of accounting policies that involve the most complex and subjective decisions and assessments, management has identified its most critical accounting policy to be that related to the allowance for loan losses. CGB Holdings' allowance for loan loss methodology incorporates a variety of risk considerations, both quantitative and qualitative, in establishing an allowance for loan loss that management believes is appropriate at each reporting date. Although CGB Holdings' management believes the level of the allowance as of December 31, 2011 is adequate to absorb losses inherent in that segment of the loan portfolio not reported using ASC 310-30 accounting, a decline in the local economy or other adverse factors may result in losses that cannot reasonably be anticipated at this time. See "Critical Accounting Policies—Allowance for Loan Losses," below.

Allowance for Loan Losses

The majority of the allowance for loan losses represents management's best estimate of probable losses inherent in the existing loan portfolio not subject to ASC 310-30 accounting. This allowance also includes $310 thousand for loans accounted for under ASC 310-30. The allowance for loan losses is increased by the provision for loan losses charged to expense and reduced by loans charged off or charged down, net of recoveries. The provision for loan losses is determined based on management's assessment of several factors: reviews and evaluation of specific loans, changes in the nature and volume of the loan portfolio, current economic conditions and the related impact on specific borrowers and industry groups, historical loan loss experiences, the level of classified and nonperforming loans and the results of regulatory examinations. Refer to "Financial Condition—Allowance for Loan Losses," below, for a full discussion of CGB Holdings' methodology of assessing the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses.

Acquired Loans

Acquired loans are valued as of acquisition date in accordance with ASC 805, Business Combinations. Loans purchased with evidence of credit deterioration since origination for which it is probable that all contractually required payments will not be collected are accounted for under ASC 310-30, Receivables—Loans and Debt Securities Acquired with Deteriorated Credit Quality. CGB Holdings elected to account for a significant majority of eligible acquired loans within the scope of ASC 310-30 using the same methodology.

Under ASC 805 and ASC 310-30, loans are recorded at fair value at acquisition date, factoring in credit losses expected to be incurred over the life of the loan and prevailing market interest rates on the acquisition date. Accordingly, an allowance for loan losses is not carried over or recorded as of the acquisition date. In situations where loans have similar risk characteristics, loans are aggregated into pools to estimate cash flows under ASC 310-30. A pool is accounted for as a single asset with a single yield, cumulative loss rate and cash flow expectation.

The cash flows expected over the life of the pools are regularly re-estimated using an internal cash flow model that projects cash flows and calculates the carrying values of the pools, expected yields to maturity, effective interest income and impairment, if any, based on the contracted future cash flows net of expected payment defaults.

Under ASC 310-30, the excess of the expected cash flows at acquisition over the fair value is considered to be the accretable yield and is recognized as interest income over the life of the loan or pool. The excess of the contractual cash flows over the expected cash flows is considered to be the non-accretable difference. Subsequent to the acquisition date, any increases in projected cash flow over those expected at purchase date in excess of fair value are recorded as an increase in the accretable yield on a prospective basis. Any subsequent decreases in projected cash flow over those expected at purchase date are recognized as an impairment charge in the current period.

Core Deposit Intangible Asset

The core deposit intangible asset is evaluated for impairment at each reporting date to determine whether events or circumstances warrant an impairment charge and a reduction in the remaining period of amortization.

Results of Operations

Net Interest Income

CGB Holdings' earnings depend largely upon its net interest income, which is the difference between the income received from its loan portfolio and other interest-earning assets and the interest paid on deposits and other liabilities. The net interest income, when expressed as a percentage of average total interest-earning assets, is referred to as the net interest margin. CGB Holdings' net interest income is affected by the change in the level and the mix of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities, referred to as volume changes. CGB Holdings' net interest income is also affected by changes in the yields earned on assets and rates paid on liabilities. Interest rates charged on CGB Holdings' loans are affected principally by the demand for such loans, the supply of money available for lending purposes and competitive factors. Those factors are, in turn, affected by general economic conditions and other factors beyond CGB Holdings' control, such as federal economic policies, the general supply of money in the economy, legislative tax policies, governmental budgetary matters and the actions of the Federal Reserve Board. Interest rates on deposits are affected primarily by rates charged by competitors.

Interest income increased $13.8 million, or 663%, to $15.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2011 compared to $2.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2010. The increase was

124

Table of Contents

primarily due to the increase in loan volume. On an overall basis, loans decreased in 2011 as compared to 2010, however, the average loan balance increased significantly in 2011 as compared to 2010 and as a result, a significant amount of the increase in interest income was due to the volume of loans throughout 2011. Interest expense increased to $0.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2011 compared to $0.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2010, an increase of $0.2 million, or 29%. The increase in interest expense was primarily due to the increase in volume of deposits during 2011 as compared to 2010. Again, even though the deposits decreased on an overall basis for 2011 as compared to 2010, the average balance of deposits increased significantly from 2010 to 2011 resulting in additional interest expense in 2011. Net interest income before provision for loan losses was $15.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2011, compared to $1.47 million for the year ended December 31, 2010. The increase in interest income was primarily due to the $196 million increase in average interest-earning assets for the year ended December 31, 2011 as compared to 2010.

Average interest-earning assets increased from $57.4 million at December 31, 2010 to $253.6 million at December 31, 2011. Average interest-bearing liabilities at December 31, 2011 were $164.4 million as compared to $40.1 million at December 31, 2010. The increase in average interest earning assets and average interest bearing liabilities is primarily due to the acquisition of pre-merger Professional Business Bank on December 31, 2010.

Net Interest Margin

Net interest income, when expressed as a percentage of average total interest-earning assets, is referred to as the net interest margin. The net interest margin was 5.96% and 2.55% for the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively. The increase in the average rate on interest-earning assets is primarily due to increase on the yield from loans from 6.48% in 2010 to 8.57% in 2011. The results in 2011 include the effect of income from accretion of discounts related to loans acquired under ASC 310-30. The increase in the yield from loans was also impacted favorably by the performance of certain ASC 310-30 loans which had pay offs greater than the carrying value. In addition, the increase in average rate on interest earning assets was affected by an increase in the average rate of interest earned on investments from 1.48% in 2010 to 3.15% in 2011. Overall the average yield on interest earning assets increased from 3.63% in 2010 to 6.27% in 2011. The average yield or rate paid on interest bearing liabilities decreased from 1.54% in 2010 to 0.49% in 2011. This was primarily due to the runoff of higher rate brokered and customer deposits.

Provision for Loan Losses

Credit risk assumption is inherent in the business of making loans. CGB Holdings sets aside an allowance for probable loan losses through charges to net income when required to bring the total allowance for loan losses to a level deemed appropriate for the risk in the loan portfolio. The charges are shown in the statements of operations as provisions for loan losses, and specifically identifiable and quantifiable losses are immediately charged off against the allowance. The procedures for monitoring the adequacy of the allowance, as well as detailed information concerning the allowance itself, are included below under "Allowance for Loan Losses."

Noninterest Income

CGB Holdings generates noninterest income primarily from service fees on deposit accounts and other service charges and fees. During the year ending December 31, 2011 noninterest income decreased $1.5 million, or 38%, compared to the same period in 2010 primarily due to the 2010 recognition of a bargain purchase gain in the amount of $3.8 million related to the acquisition of pre-merger Professional Business Bank in 2010. In addition, non interest income from service charges

128

Table of Contents

and other increased from $30 thousand to $1.2 million which is primarily attributable to an increase in deposit fees associated with the larger deposit base due to the acquisition of pre-merger Professional Business Bank. During 2011 CGB Holdings also recognized $1.2 million in income from recoveries of loans which had been previously charged off by pre-merger Professional Business Bank.

Noninterest Expense

Noninterest expense, which is comprised primarily of salaries and employee benefits, occupancy and other operating expenses, increased 239% to $14.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2011, compared to $4.4 million for the same period in 2010. This increase is primarily due to the increase in personnel and number of branch locations in connection with the merger.

The following table sets forth the breakdown of noninterest expense for the periods indicated:

Efficiency ratio				90.61	%				84.37	%				756.10	%

Salary and employee benefits increased $4.6 million, or 212% for the year ended December 31, 2011 as compared to the year ended December 31, 2010. Virtually all of the increase during the year ended December 31, 2011 related to the acquisition of pre-merger Professional Business Bank. The number of personnel increased from 17 employees at December 31, 2010 to 50 employees at December 31, 2011 primarily as a result of the merger.

Occupancy costs increased $946 thousand, or 207% for the year ended December 31, 2011 compared to the same period in 2010 primarily due to the acquisition of pre-merger Professional Business Bank which added three branch facilities to Professional Business Bank, two of which (Glendale and Pasadena) are leased under operating leases.

Professional fees increased $1.9 million, or 230%, for the year ended December 31, 2011 compared to the same period in 2010 due to legal, consulting and other professional fees incurred to manage CGB Holdings' non-performing assets and to facilitate the integration of the merged banks.

Data Processing costs increased $603 thousand, or 212%, for the year ended December 31, 2011 compared to the same period in 2010 primarily due to the merger which significantly increased CGB Holdings' information technology needs along with the associated costs of outsourcing the management of CGB Holdings' information technology function. Additionally, the decision to outsource resulted in multiple special projects to enhance existing software and systems, further increasing data processing costs.

129

Table of Contents

Advertising and business development costs for the year ended December 31, 2011 increased $255 thousand, or 268%, compared to the same period in 2010, primarily due to an expanded advertising program associated with the branding of the combined bank under the Professional Business Bank name.

FDIC insurance costs for the year ended December 31, 2011 increased $162 thousand, or 208%, compared to the same period in 2010 primarily due to the increased deposit base associated with the merger. At the time the merger occurred, Professional Business Bank held $228 million of deposits. Other noninterest expenses for the year ended December 31, 2011 increased $2.0 million, or 363%, compared to the same period in 2010 primarily due to core deposit intangible amortization and an impairment charge of $473 thousand and a $346 thousand provision for unfunded commitments.

Provision for Income Taxes

For the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, the provision for for income taxes were $202 thousand and $3 thousand, respectively, representing effective tax rates of 546% and 5.1%, respectively. The income tax expense recorded in 2011 was primarily due to the inability to utilize net operating loss carryforwards for California Franchise Tax due to a state moratorium on the utilization of net operating loss carryforwards in 2011 and a change in the valuation allowance. In addition, CGB Holdings was subject to approximately $43 thousand in alternative minimum tax for federal income tax purposes.

CGB Holdings has net deferred tax assets in the amount of $2.1 million and $1.7 million at December 31, 2011 and 2010 which are offset by a valuation allowance due to losses incurred in 2011 and 2010. The ability of CGB Holdings to reverse all or part of the existing deferred tax valuation allowance is dependent on its ability to generate taxable income in future years.

Market Risk/Interest Rate Risk Management

Market risk is the risk of loss from adverse changes in market prices or rates. CGB Holdings' market risk arises primarily from interest rate risk inherent in its lending, investment and deposit taking activities. CGB Holdings' profitability is affected by fluctuations in interest rates. A sudden and substantial change in interest rates may adversely impact CGB Holdings' earnings to the extent that the interest rates borne by assets and liabilities do not change at the same speed, to the same extent or on the same basis. To that end, management actively monitors and manages its interest rate risk exposure.

Asset and liability management is concerned with the timing and magnitude of the repricing of assets and liabilities. It is the policy of CGB Holdings to contain risks associated with interest rate movements within tolerances approved by its board of directors. In general, management's strategy is to match asset and liability balances within maturity categories to contain CGB Holdings' exposure to earnings variations and variations in the combined value of assets and liabilities as interest rates change over time.

Interest Rate Risk. Interest rate risk occurs when assets and liabilities re-price at different times as interest rates change. Generally speaking, the rates of interest that CGB Holdings earns on its assets, and pays on its liabilities, are established contractually for specified periods of time. Market interest rates change over time and if a financial institution cannot quickly adapt to interest rate changes, it may be exposed to volatility in earnings. For instance, if CGB Holdings was to fund long-term fixed rate assets with short-term variable rate deposits, and interest rates were to rise over the term of the assets, the short-term variable deposits would rise in cost, adversely affecting net interest income. Similar risks exist when rate sensitive assets (for example, prime rate-based loans) are funded by longer-term fixed rate liabilities in a falling interest rate environment.

130

Table of Contents

Gap analysis measures the repricing timing mismatches between assets and liabilities. The interest rate sensitivity gap is determined by subtracting the amount of liabilities from the amount of assets that reprice during a particular time interval. A liability sensitive position results when more liabilities than assets reprice or mature within a given period. Conversely, an asset-sensitive position results when more assets than liabilities reprice within a given period. As of December 31, 2011, the Companhy was asset-sensitive, with a one-year gap of $18.8 million or 7.9% of total assets. As more of CGB Holdings' assets than liabilities will reprice over a one year horizon, CGB Holdings will realize higher net interest income in a rising rate environment and lower net interest income in a falling rate environment with all other conditions remaining constant.

The following table sets forth the interest rate sensitivity of CGB Holdings' interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities as of December 31, 2011 using the interest rate sensitivity gap ratio. For purposes of the following table, an asset or liability is considered rate-sensitive within a specified period when it can be repriced or matures within its contractual terms. Actual payment patterns may differ from contractual payment patterns.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Liquidity. Liquidity is CGB Holdings' ability to maintain sufficient cash flow to meet obligations as they come due and to fund loan demands and to take advantage of investment opportunities as they

Table of Contents

arise. CGB Holdings' liquidity sources include deposit growth and principal and interest payments on loans and securities. Cash at correspondent banks and in CGB Holdings' excess balance account at the Federal Reserve totaled $39 million at December 31, 2011, or 19% of CGB Holdings' total assets. To supplement its primary sources of liquidity, CGB Holdings maintains contingent funding sources, which include a secured borrowing facility through the Federal Home Loan Bank ("FHLB") of San Francisco. FHLB borrowings can be structured over various terms ranging from overnight to ten years. As of December 31, 2011 there were no outstanding borrowings on the FHLB line. CGB Holdings has the potential to borrow up to 25% of its total assets. Based on this limitation and loans and securities pledged as of December 31, 2011, the availability on the credit line approximated $33 million at December 31, 2011.

CGB Holdings also has the ability to access the Federal Reserve Board's "Discount Window" for additional secured borrowing should the need arise. As of December 31, 2011 $4.9 million is available under this secured line.

Capital Resources. Stockholders' equity as of December 31, 2011 was $35.2 million, compared to $38.4 million as of December 31, 2010. The decrease in stockholders' equity is principally due to the transfer of CGB Asset Management, Inc. to Carpenter Community Bancfunds as of March 30, 2011 through an exchange of common stock. The current year loss is also a contributor to decreased capital levels in 2011. The primary sources of increases in capital in 2010 were the acquisition of Professional Business Bank on December 31, 2010 and the retention of earnings including the $3.8 million bargain purchase gain. Stockholders' equity is also affected by increases (decreases) in unrealized losses on securities classified as available-for-sale. CGB Holdings is committed to maintaining capital at a level sufficient to assure shareholders, customers and regulators that CGB Holdings is financially sound and able to support its growth from its retained earnings. Professional Business Bank is subject to risk capital regulations adopted by the federal banking regulators. These guidelines are used to evaluate capital adequacy and are based primarily on an institution's asset risk profile and off-balance sheet exposures. The risk-based capital guidelines assign risk weightings to assets both on and off-balance sheet and place increased emphasis on common equity in the capital structure. According to the regulations, institutions whose Tier I capital risk-based capital ratio, total risk-based capital ratio and leverage ratio meet or exceed 6%, 10%, and 5%, respectively, are generally deemed to be "well capitalized." Based on these guidelines, the Professional Business Bank's Tier 1 and total risk based capital ratios as of December 31, 2011 were 17.96% and 19.22%, respectively, compared to 14.96% and 15.74%, respectively, as of December 31, 2010. Professional Business Bank's leverage ratios were 13.34% as of December 31, 2011, compared to 49.54% as of December 31, 2010. All of Professional Business Bank's capital ratios were above the minimum regulatory requirements for a "well capitalized" institution. The following table presents Professional Business Bank's capital ratios at December 31, 2011:

						Amount of Capital Required

Impact of Inflation

The impact of inflation on a financial institution differs significantly from such impact on other companies. Banks, as financial intermediaries, have assets and liabilities that tend to move in concert with inflation both as to interest rates, yields and value. A bank can reduce the impact of inflation if it can manage its interest rate sensitivity gap. Professional Business Bank attempts to structure its mix of financial instruments and manage its interest rate sensitivity gap in order to contain the potential adverse effects of inflation or other market forces on its net interest income within policy tolerances and therefore its earnings and capital. See "—Market Risk/Interest Rate Risk Management."

Financial Condition

Summary

Since March 9, 2009 (commencement of operations) CGB Holdings has experienced significant growth in total assets, loans and deposits primarily as the result of the December 31, 2010 acquisition of pre-merger Professional Business Bank. However, total assets decreased to $239 million as of December 31, 2011, from $329 million as of December 31, 2010. Even though there was an increase in total interest earning assets and total interest bearing liabilities at the date of the merger, there was a runoff in both categories which had been anticipated. Total interest bearing time certificates of deposits decreased by $77 million from 2010 to 2011. This was primarily due to the runoff of high interest rate brokered deposits which were primarily attributable to pre-merger Professional Business Bank at the date of the merger. Total net loans decreased to $166 million as of December 31, 2011, compared to $210 million as of December 31, 2010 primarily due to loan payoffs occurring during the year and the sale of loans included in CGBAM to the Funds. Total cash and cash equivalents decreased from $74 million at December 31, 2010 to $46 million at December 31, 2011. Total interest earning deposits in other banks decreased from $17.3 million at the end of 2010 to $4.0 million at the end of 2011 and investments decreased from $13.5 million at December 31, 2010 to $9.5 million at December 31, 2011. The decrease in cash and cash equivalents, interest earning deposits in other banks and investments was due primarily to liquidity needs as a result of the deposit runoff which was partially offset by the cash received from loan payoffs.

Loan Portfolio

CGB Holdings' loan portfolio represents the largest single portion of Professional Business Bank's assets, substantially greater than the investment portfolio or any other asset category. The quality and diversification of Professional Business Bank's loan portfolio are important considerations when reviewing CGB Holdings' results of operations.

The December 31, 2011 loan portfolio declined in all categories when compared to December 31, 2010. The negative growth is attributable to CGB Holdings' focus on reducing classified assets. Loans classified "substandard" decreased by $12.1 million to $10.6 million at December 31, 2011 from $22.7 million at December 31, 2010. This year over year decrease was due in part to a change in risk

133

Table of Contents

rating for four loans totaling $2.3 million which risk ratings that changed from "substandard" to "doubtful" and one loan moving from "substandard to OREO in the amount of $3.6 million. The majority of the decrease in "substandard" loans was based on full disposition of 17 loans with balances of approximately $11.1 million through payoffs, liquidation of collateral, short sale, discounted payoff and loan principal charge offs. Additionally, three loans in the amount of $1.5 million were restructured and upgraded to "pass". These amounts were partially offset by net increases of approximately $6.3 million transferred from the "pass" and "special mention" categories as well as incremental interest payments applied to principal.

The December 31, 2010 loan portfolio grew significantly in all categories when compared December 31, 2009. The growth is principally due to the acquisition of pre-merger Professional Business Bank on December 31, 2010.

The following table sets forth the composition of CGB Holdings loan portfolio as of the dates indicated:

Off-Balance Sheet Commitments. During the ordinary course of business, CGB Holdings will provide various forms of credit lines to meet the financing needs of its customers. These commitments to provide credit represent an obligation of CGB Holdings to its customers which is not represented in any form within the balance sheets of CGB Holdings. These commitments represent a credit risk to CGB Holdings.

The effect on CGB Holdings' revenues, expenses, cash flows and liquidity from the unused portion of the commitments to provide credit cannot be reasonably predicted because there is no guarantee that the lines of credit will ever be used.

There were $23.5 million in unfunded commitments at December 31, 2011 and $21.7 million as of December 31, 2010.

For more information regarding CGB Holdings' off-balance sheet arrangements, see Note 12 to CGB Holdings' 2011 audited consolidated financial statements herein.

Loan Maturities. The following table provides the maturity distribution for CGB Holdings' outstanding loans as of December 31, 2011. The loan amounts are based on contractual maturities although the borrowers have the ability to prepay the loans. In addition, the table provides the distribution of such loans between those with variable or floating interest rates and those with fixed or predetermined interest rates. The table includes nonaccrual loans of $3.8 million, and excludes unearned income and deferred fees totaling $8 thousand.

Nonperforming Assets

Nonperforming assets are comprised of loans on nonaccrual status, loans 90 days or more past due but not on nonaccrual status, loans restructured where the terms of repayment have been renegotiated resulting in a reduction or deferral of interest or principal, and other real estate owned ("OREO"). Management generally places loans on nonaccrual status when they become 90 days past due, unless they are both fully secured and in process of collection. Loans may be restructured by management when a borrower has experienced some change in financial status causing an inability to meet the original repayment terms, where CGB Holdings believes the borrower will eventually overcome those circumstances and repay the loan in full. OREO consists of real property acquired through foreclosure or similar means that management intends to offer for sale.

Management's classification of a loan as nonaccrual or restructured is an indication that there is reasonable doubt as to the full collectability of principal or interest on the loan. At this point, CGB Holdings stops recognizing income from the interest on the loan and reverses any uncollected interest that had been accrued but unpaid. If the loan deteriorates further due to a borrower's bankruptcy or similar financial problems, unsuccessful collection efforts or a loss classification by regulators or auditors, the remaining balance of the loan is then charged off. These loans may or may not be collateralized, but collection efforts are continuously pursued. The modifications that Professional Business Bank has historically extended to borrowers in loan restructurings have come in the form of changes in the amortization terms, reductions in the interest rates, and the acceptance of interest only payments. A workout plan between a borrower and Professional Business Bank is designed to provide a bridge for the cash flow shortfalls in the near term. If the borrower works through the near term issues, the original contractual terms will be reinstated after sustained performance of no less than six months. Once a loan is returned to performing status, it is no longer a troubled debt restructured loan (TDR), and it is treated in the allowance for loans losses comparable to other non TDR loans with the similar risk characteristics and the allowance for loan losses would be adjusted accordingly. If the borrower is unable to pay the loan back according to the original contractual terms, the loan remains a TDR. Generally, until a loan that is a TDR is repaid or otherwise settled, sold or charged off, the loan will continue to be reported as a TDR. Loans accounted for as TDR's amounted to $2.7 million and $1.3 million at December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively. The increase in TDR's reflects management's continuing involvement with borrowers to modify loans, if necessary, and improve the ability of the borrower to repay the loan and reduce classified assets.

The majority of the allowance for loan losses reflects management's judgment of the level of allowance adequate to provide for probable losses inherent in the loan portfolio, exclusive of the loans

135

Table of Contents

accounted for under ASC 310-30. The allowance also includes $310 thousand for loans accounted for under ASC 310-30. On a quarterly basis, management assesses the overall adequacy of the allowance for loan losses, utilizing a disciplined and systematic approach which includes: (1) reviewing to determine if a loan is impaired and/or collateral dependent. To the extent that individually reviewed loans per the requirements of the ASC 310-10-35 are impaired and exhibit collateral deficits, specific valuation allowances equal to the deficient amounts are established; and (2) assessing homogeneous loan pools including historical default probability and loss given default. Adjustments are then made utilizing forward-looking qualitative factors. The loan charge offs outlined in the following table occurred during the year ended December 31, 2011. There were no recoveries in 2011 related to loans originated subsequent to the merger. There were $1.2 million in recoveries of charge-offs related to pre-merger Professional Business Bank loans. These recoveries were not included as recoveries in the allowance for loans losses because the charge offs occurred in 2009 and 2010 prior to the merger of pre-merger Professional Business Bank and should be recorded as other non interest income. Recoveries recorded in 2010 were minimal. In addition, the non performing loans below as of December 31, 2011 and 2010 do not include loans accounted for under ASC 310-30. When CGB Holding acquired the assets of pre-merger Professional Business Bank, the assets included all loans Professional Business Bank had previously charged off despite the fact that there was no value attributed to the loans. At the time of the acquisition, charged off loans were evaluated to determine if a value should be attributed to the loans and there were no loans for which collection was probable. Any recoveries associated with those loans are a benefit to CGB Holdings.

Nonperforming loans as a percentage of total loans were 2.88% and 2.52% as of December 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010.

Potential Problem Loans

As of December 31, 2011, management was not aware, nor had any serious doubts, of possible credit problems of borrowers that would result in such borrowers not complying with existing repayment terms.

Allowance for Loan Losses

The allowance for loan losses reflects management's judgment of the level of allowance adequate to provide for probable losses inherent in the loan portfolio. On a quarterly basis, management assesses the overall adequacy of the allowance for loan losses, utilizing a disciplined and systematic approach which includes: (1) reviewing to determine if a loan is impaired and/or collateral dependent. To the

137

extent that individually reviewed loans per the requirements of the ASC 310-10-35, accounting for loan impairment, are impaired and exhibit collateral deficits, specific valuation allowances equal to the deficient amounts is established. (2) assessing homogeneous loan pools including historical default probability and loss given default. Adjustments are then made utilizing forward-looking qualitative factors.

The table below summarizes the activity in CGB Holdings' allowance for loan losses for the periods indicated:

On December 31, 2010, CGB Holdings acquired pre-merger Professional Business Bank, which included loans acquired at a fair value of $178 million. In accordance with accounting for business

138

Table of Contents

combinations, the loans were recorded at fair value and as a result, no allowance for loan losses was initially recorded at the date of acquisition related to the $178 million in loans. In addition, the allowance for loan losses as a percent of total loans at December 31, 2010 was 0.56%, as compared to 1.40% at December 31, 2011. This difference of 0.84% was primarily due to the fact that a significant majority of the loans acquired were recorded in accordance with ASC 310-30, Accounting for Loans or Certain Securities Acquired in a Transfer, formerly known as Statement of Position (SOP) 03-3, and included a non-accretable yield to absorb the amount of contractually required payments for principal and interest that exceeded the undiscounted cash flows expected at acquisition. The allowance for loan losses increased from 0.56% to 1.40% of total loans primarily due to an increase of specific reserves of approximately $600 thousand on loans originated and $310 thousand due to reserves required on loans accounted for under ASC 310-30. The balance of the increase was due to an increase in qualitative economic factors related to the general reserve.

On March 30, 2011, the nonperforming loans that were originally transferred to CGBAM in connection with the merger and included in the consolidated financial statements of CGB Holdings at December 31, 2010 were sold to the Funds. In addition to loan payoffs, this is the primary reason for the decrease in nonperforming loans from $23.7 million at December 31, 2010 to $8.6 million at December 31, 2011.

Management is committed to maintaining the allowance for loan losses at a level that is considered to be commensurate with estimated and known risks in the portfolio. Although the adequacy of the allowance is reviewed quarterly, management performs an ongoing assessment of the risks inherent in the portfolio. Real estate is the principal collateral for CGB Holdings' loans. As of December 31, 2011, management believed the allowance to be adequate based on its assessment of the estimated and known risks in the portfolio. However, no assurance can be given that economic conditions that adversely affect our service areas or other circumstances will not be reflected in increased provisions for loan losses in the future.

Investment Portfolio

The main objectives of CGB Holdings' investment portfolio are to support a sufficient level of liquidity while providing means to manage interest rate risk, and to generate an adequate level of interest income without taking undue risks.

CGB Holdings' entire investment portfolio is classified as available for sale with the net unrealized gain or loss, net of income tax effect, presented as a separate component of shareholders' equity. At each reporting period, investment securities are assessed to determine whether there is an other-than-temporary impairment. Such impairment, if any, is required to be recognized in current

139

Table of Contents

earnings rather than as a separate component of shareholders' equity. Realized gains and losses on sales of securities are recognized in earnings at the time of sale and are determined on a specific-identification basis. Purchase premiums and discounts are recognized in interest income using the effective-yield method over the terms of the securities. For mortgage-backed securities ("MBS"), the amortization or accretion is based on estimated average lives of the securities. The lives of these securities can fluctuate based on the amount of prepayments received or losses realized on the underlying collateral value of the securities. There were no securities which were considered to be other than temporarily impaired at December 31, 2011 or 2010.

The following table summarizes the amortized cost, fair value and distribution of the CGB Holdings' investment securities as of the dates indicated:

Deposits

Deposits are CGB Holdings' primary source of funds. Total deposits as of December 31, 2011 were $201 million, compared to $275 million as of December 31, 2010. The $74 million, or 27%, decrease in deposits at December 31, 2011 as compared to December 31, 2010 resulted principally from time deposit maturities, including $47 million in maturities of wholesale time deposits and $30 million in runoff of customer time deposits, consisting primarily of high rate promotional time deposits. This runoff is part of management's overall liquidity strategy to reduce the level of higher-cost, non-relationship time deposit balances in light of CGB Holdings' liquidity position.

The following tables summarize the distribution of average daily deposits and the average daily rates paid for the periods indicated:

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE AND BOARD MATTERS

Board Leadership Structure

The Manhattan Board does not have a policy regarding the separation of the roles of Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer, as the Manhattan Board believes it is in the best interests of Manhattan Bancorp to make that determination based on the position and direction of Manhattan Bancorp and the membership composition of the Manhattan Board. In cases where the Manhattan Board determines it is advisable to combine the roles of Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer, the independent directors will designate a lead independent director.

The position of Chairman of the Board and the office of Chief Executive Officer are currently held by different persons. The duties of the Chairman of the Board include providing strategic leadership and guidance; presiding at the meetings of the Manhattan Board and executive sessions of independent directors; calling executive sessions and special meetings of the Manhattan Board; establishing agendas for meetings of the Manhattan Board and independent directors with advice from senior management and outside advisors; advising and consulting with the Chief Executive Officer, other executive officers, including our senior risk officers, and the chairmen of the board of directors committees regarding strategies, risks, opportunities, and other matters.

Risk Oversight and the Board

The Manhattan Board is actively involved in and responsible for oversight of risks that could affect Manhattan Bancorp. The Manhattan Board satisfies this responsibility through written or oral reports directly from officers with oversight responsibility for particular risks within Manhattan Bancorp. Reports are submitted regularly to the Manhattan Board that report risk trends, results of strategic and capital plan monitoring, results of regulatory issue monitoring and financial, credit and operational key risk indicators. The Manhattan Board is assisted by its committees, which regularly provide reports of their activities and conclusions to the full Manhattan Board for discussion and acceptance.

The Chairman of the Board and the Chief Executive Officer address risk matters at Manhattan Board meetings. In addition, other members of senior management regularly provide reports directly to the Manhattan Board in the board meetings.

Director Independence

The Manhattan Board has determined that, with the exception of Mr. Robinson and Mr. Jacobson, each of the directors is "independent" within the meaning of the listing standards of the NASDAQ Marketplace Rules.

Consideration of Director Nominees

Director Qualifications

We believe the members of the Manhattan Board have the proper mix of relevant experience and expertise given Manhattan Bancorp's business, together with a level of demonstrated integrity, judgment, leadership and collegiality, to effectively advise and oversee management in executing our strategy. There are no specific minimum qualifications for director nominees or any qualities or skills that the Manhattan Board believes are prerequisites to membership on the Manhattan Board; however, in identifying or evaluating potential nominees it is the policy of the Manhattan Board to seek individuals who have the knowledge, experience and personal and professional integrity, to be most effective, in conjunction with the other Manhattan Board members, in collectively serving the long-term interests of our shareholders. Candidates considered for nomination to the Manhattan Board may come from several sources, including current and former directors, professional search firms and shareholders. Although Manhattan Bancorp does not have a formal policy with regard to the diversity

148

Table of Contents

of the Manhattan Board, it does seek to ensure that candidates reflect a variety of professional experience, education, skills, regional business connections, differences of viewpoint and other individual qualities.

Shareholder Recommendations

It is the policy of the Manhattan Board to consider properly submitted shareholder nominations for candidates for membership on the Manhattan Board. Any shareholder nominations proposed for consideration by the Manhattan Board should include the nominee's name and qualifications for board membership and should be addressed to the Corporate Secretary, Manhattan Bancorp, 2141 Rosecrans Avenue, Suite 1100, El Segundo, CA 90245.

Nominations by Shareholders

The procedures whereby nominations for election to the Manhattan Board may be made by any shareholders are set forth in Section 3.3 of Manhattan Bancorp's bylaws, which provides:

"Nominations for election of members of the Board of Directors may be made by the Board of Directors or by any shareholder of any outstanding class of voting stock of the Corporation entitled to vote for the election of directors. Notice of intention to make any nominations, other than by the Board of Directors, shall be made in writing and shall be received by the President of the Corporation no more than 60 days prior to any meeting of shareholders called for the election of directors, and no more than 10 days after the date of notice of such meeting is sent to shareholders pursuant to Section 3.5(a) of Article III of these By-Laws; provided, however, that if only 10 days' notice of the meeting is given to shareholders, such notice of intention to nominate shall be received by the President of the Corporation not later than the time fixed in the notice of the meeting for the opening of the meeting. Such notification shall contain the following information to the extent known to the notifying shareholder: (A) the name and address of each proposed nominee; (B) the principal occupation of each proposed nominee; (C) the number of shares of voting stock of the Corporation owned by each proposed nominee; (D) the name and residence address of the notifying shareholder; and (E) the number of shares of voting stock of the Corporation owned by the notifying shareholder. Nominations not made in accordance herewith may be disregarded by the chairman of the meeting, and the inspectors of election shall then disregard all votes cast for each such nominee."

Board Meetings

The Manhattan Board met fifteen (15) times during 2011. No director attended less than 75% of all meetings held in 2011 of the board of directors and committees on which he served.

Board Committees

From time to time the Manhattan Board appoints and empowers committees to carry out specific functions on behalf of the Manhattan Board. Set forth below is a description of the current committees of the Manhattan Board and their members: the Audit & Risk Committee, the Compensation, Corporate Governance & HR Committee and the Asset/Liability Committee. Each of the Committees are joint committees of Manhattan Bancorp and Bank of Manhattan.

The Manhattan Board does not maintain a separate nominating committee because Manhattan Board believes that it can select prospective director nominees by acting on the basis of a consensus of the entire Manhattan Board. Accordingly, all directors participate in the selection of candidates for nomination as directors of Manhattan Bancorp. The Manhattan Board identifies and deliberates on the merits of candidates, based upon the factors discussed above in "Consideration of Director Nominees—Director Qualifications."

149

Table of Contents

The Manhattan Board and each of its committees has authority to obtain advice and assistance from internal or outside legal, accounting or other advisors as it deems necessary to carry out its duties, at the expense of Manhattan Bancorp.

The Audit & Risk Committee: The members of the Audit & Risk Committee for all of 2011 were Mr. Murphy (Chairman), Mr. Growney and Mr. Caras. The Audit & Risk Committee has been established in accordance with the requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and each of its members is "independent" within the meaning of the listing standards of the NASDAQ Marketplace Rules. The Audit & Risk Committee held five (5) meetings during 2011.

The Audit & Risk Committee operates under a Board-approved charter, which can be found on Manhattan Bancorp's website www.thebankofmanhattan.com. The Audit & Risk Committee's responsibilities include:

•: appointment, compensation, retention, termination, oversight and evaluation of Manhattan Bancorp's independent auditors;
•: determining the extent of funding that Manhattan Bancorp must provide to the Audit & Risk Committee to carry out its duties;
•: holding regular discussions with management and the independent auditors about matters pertaining to risk management and the audit;
•: reviews with the independent auditors the proposed scope of, fees for, and results of, the annual audit;
•: reviews the system of internal accounting controls and the scope and results of internal audits with the independent auditors and Manhattan Bancorp's management; and
•: pre-approves the audit and permissible non-audit services provided by the independent auditors.

The Manhattan Board has determined that each member of the Audit & Risk Committee has sufficient accounting or related financial management expertise to serve on the Audit & Risk Committee and that Mr. Murphy meets the qualifications of an "audit committee financial expert" as the term is defined in the rules and regulations of the SEC.

The Compensation, Corporate Governance & HR Committee: The members of the Compensation, Corporate Governance & HR Committee as presently constituted are Messrs. Flemming (Chairman), Chenoweth, Caras, Greene and Couch. Each member of the Compensation, Corporate Governance & HR Committee is "independent" within the meaning of the listing standards of the NASDAQ Marketplace Rules. The Compensation, Corporate Governance & HR Committee held five (5) meetings during 2011.

The Compensation, Corporate Governance & HR Committee operates under a Board-approved charter, which can be found on Manhattan Bancorp's website at www.thebankofmanhattan.com. The Compensation, Corporate Governance & HR Committee monitors the performance of senior management in relation to applicable corporate goals and strategies, and makes recommendations to ensure that compensation and benefits are at levels that enable Manhattan Bancorp to attract and retain high quality employees. The Compensation, Corporate Governance & HR Committee considers and makes recommendations to the Manhattan Board concerning compensation and/or benefit plans for Manhattan Bancorp's personnel.

The Compensation, Corporate Governance & HR Committee, in consultation with other committee chairpersons, is responsible for annually evaluating the performance of the Chief Executive Officer of Manhattan Bancorp in light of the goals and objectives of Manhattan Bancorp's strategic plan and the Chief Executive Officer's individual performance goals. Based on this evaluation, the

150

Table of Contents

Compensation, Corporate Governance & HR Committee determines the Chief Executive Officer's compensation and benefits levels.

The Compensation, Corporate Governance & HR Committee also annually reviews and determines the compensation arrangements for all executive officers, including: (i) annual base salary amounts; (ii) annual bonus arrangements, if any; (iii) any long-term incentive compensation; (iv) any employment agreements, severance arrangements and change in control and similar agreements/provisions; and (v) any perquisites, special or supplemental benefits. The executive officers of Manhattan Bancorp do not have a role in recommending the amount or form of their own compensation. The Chief Executive Officer, although not a member of the Compensation, Corporate Governance & HR Committee, presents to the Compensation, Corporate Governance & HR Committee recommendations for compensation of the other executive officers. The full Manhattan Board, and not the Compensation, Corporate Governance & HR Committee, determines director compensation.

The Compensation, Corporate Governance & HR Committee has the authority to retain and terminate compensation consultants to assist in the evaluation of the Chief Executive Officer, including the sole authority to approve the consultant's fees and other retention terms.

The Corporate Secretary will forward all written communications to the Chairman of the Board in the case of communications addressed to the entire board of directors or to the individual director to whom they are addressed.

Director Attendance at Annual Meetings

To show their support for Manhattan Bancorp and to facilitate and encourage communications between Manhattan Bancorp's shareholders and the Manhattan Board, directors are encouraged to attend shareholder meetings.

The Audit & Risk Committee assists Manhattan Bancorp's board of directors in its responsibility for oversight of the quality and integrity of the accounting, auditing and financial reporting practices of Manhattan Bancorp. The Audit Committee advises the board of directors in the selection, evaluation and replacement of independent auditors to the board of directors, and approves all non-audit services and fees for audit and non-audit services charged by the independent auditors. The members of the Audit Committee are "independent directors" as defined by NASD listing standards. The Audit & Risk Committee has discussed with the independent auditors their independence from management of Manhattan Bancorp, including the matters in the written disclosures required by Independence Standards Board Standard No 1, which were provided to the Audit & Risk Committee.

In fulfilling its oversight responsibilities, the Audit & Risk Committee reviewed and discussed with management the audited financial statements included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011 (the "2011 Form 10-K") filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, as well as the unaudited financial statements filed with Manhattan Bancorp's quarterly reports on Form 10-Q during 2011. The Audit & Risk Committee also met and discussed with the independent auditors the matters required to be discussed by Statements on Accounting Standards (SAS) No. 114. These discussions included the clarity of the disclosures made therein, the underlying estimates and assumptions used in the financial reporting, and the reasonableness of the significant judgments and management decisions made in developing the financial statements.

The Audit & Risk Committee also met and discussed with the independent auditors issues related to the overall scope and objectives of the audit, internal controls, the specific results of any audit investigations and reviews, and critical accounting policies. The Audit & Risk Committee's Charter was reviewed and deemed effective.

Pursuant to the reviews and discussions described above, the Audit & Risk Committee recommended to the board of directors that the audited financial statements be included in the 2011 Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Transactions with Related Persons

From time to time, Bank of Manhattan may make loans to directors and executive officers. Under Bank of Manhattan's loan policy, any loan to a director or executive officer should be made in the ordinary course of business, on substantially the same terms, including interest rates and collateral, as those prevailing at the time for comparable transactions with unrelated third-persons, and not involve more than the normal risk of collectability. Any loan to a director or executive officer must be approved in advance by Bank of Manhattan's board of directors with the interested director not present during the discussion or voting regarding the loan. Bank of Manhattan's board of directors reviews and approves other related party transactions.

Flemming, a director of Manhattan Bancorp, is a Managing Member of Fund Manager, which is the general partner of the Funds, which owned an aggregate of 1,725,000 shares of Manhattan Bancorp common stock or approximately 43% of the issued and outstanding shares of Manhattan Bancorp as of the record date.

This conversion option may be exercised prior to September 15, 2012 and at any time commencing on or after the earlier of (i) 10 business days after the closing of the rights offering to be conducted by Manhattan Bancorp pursuant to the terms of the merger agreement after the closing of the bank merger; or (ii) September 1, 2012.

PROPOSAL 4: RATIFICATION OF APPOINTMENT OF INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANT

On August 23, 2011, Manhattan Bancorp dismissed Vavrinek, Trine, Day & Co., LLP as its registered public accounting firm, effective August 23, 2011. Manhattan Bancorp has engaged McGladrey & Pullen, LLP as its registered public accounting firm, effective August 29, 2011. The decision to change registered public accounting firms and the appointment of the new registered public accounting firm was made by the Audit & Risk Committee of the Manhattan Board.

The audit reports of Vavrinek, Trine, Day & Co., LLP on Manhattan Bancorp's consolidated financial statements for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2009 and December 31, 2010 did not contain any adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion, nor were such reports qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles. During the fiscal years ended December 31, 2009 and December 31, 2010, and the period from January 1, 2011 through August 23, 2011, there were no disagreements (as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K and the related instructions to Item 304 of Regulation S-K) with Vavrinek, Trine, Day & Co., LLP on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedures which, if not resolved to Vavrinek, Trine, Day & Co., LLP's satisfaction, would have caused them to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreement in connection with their report on Manhattan Bancorp's consolidated financial statements for such years or period. During the fiscal years ended December 31, 2009 and December 31, 2010, and the period from January 1, 2011 through August 23, 2011, there were no reportable events (as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K and the related instructions to Item 304 of Regulation S-K).

Manhattan Bancorp provided Vavrinek, Trine, Day & Co., LLP with a copy of the above disclosure (included in the Form 8-K filed with the SEC on August 29, 2011) and requested that Vavrinek, Trine, Day & Co., LLP furnish Manhattan Bancorp with a letter addressed to the SEC stating whether or not Vavrinek, Trine, Day & Co., LLP agrees with the statements contained above. Vavrinek, Trine, Day & Co., LLP provided Manhattan Bancorp with a letter dated August 29, 2011, addressed to the SEC stating whether or not it agrees with the above statements, a copy of which was filed as Exhibit 16.1 to the Form 8-K filed by Manhattan Bancorp with the SEC on August 29, 2011.

It is the current intention of Manhattan Bancorp's Audit & Risk Committee to retain McGladrey & Pullen, LLP as independent auditors of Manhattan Bancorp for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2012.

The Audit & Risk Committee pre-approves all audit and permissible non-audit services to be performed by Manhattan Bancorp's independent auditors.

To the extent practicable, at the same meeting, the Audit & Risk Committee also reviews and approves a budget for each of such services. The term of any such pre-approval is for the period of the annual audit cycle, unless the Audit & Risk Committee specifically provides for a different period. The Audit & Risk Committee may not delegate its responsibilities to pre-approve services performed by Manhattan Bancorp's independent auditor to management.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Board of Directors
CGB Holdings, Inc. and Subsidiaries

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of CGB Holdings, Inc. and subsidiaries (the Company) as of December 31, 2011 and 2010, and the related consolidated statements of operations, changes in stockholders' equity and cash flows for the years then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2011 and 2010, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the years then ended, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

NOTE 1. NATURE OF BUSINESS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Nature of Business

CGB Holdings, Inc. (the Company), through its majority-owned subsidiary, Professional Business Bank (the Bank), provides a full range of banking services to its commercial and consumer customers. The Bank is headquartered in Pasadena, California, in the San Gabriel Valley of Los Angeles County, California. The Bank currently operates from four full-service locations, with the main office and branch office in Pasadena and one branch office each in Montebello and Glendale. All branches are located in the San Gabriel Valley of Los Angeles County. The Bank's primary source of revenue is providing loans to customers, who are predominately small- and medium-sized businesses and individuals.

On December 31, 2010, California General Bank acquired 100 percent of the outstanding common stock of Professional Business Bank and immediately changed the name of the merged bank to Professional Business Bank. During 2010 California General Bank converted from a national to a state-chartered bank in anticipation of the merger. In connection with the merger, the Company also formed CGB Asset Management, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary, in order to hold certain troubled assets acquired in the merger (see Note 2).

Professional Business Bank is a full-service commercial bank with six branches in the cities of Pasadena, Glendale, Montebello, Huntington Beach and Irvine, California, engaged primarily in commercial and real estate lending to small and midsized businesses.

Summary of Professional Business Bank's Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of presentation: The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and conform to general practices within the banking industry.

Principles of consolidation: The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, its majority-owned subsidiary, Professional Business Bank (the Bank), and its wholly-owned subsidiary, CGB Asset Management, Inc. (collectively referred to as the Company). (As discussed in Note 2, CGB Asset Management, Inc. was sold on March 31, 2011.) Noncontrolling interest amounts relating to the Company's majority-owned subsidiary are included within net income attributable to the noncontrolling interest caption in its consolidated statement of operations and within the noncontrolling interest caption in its consolidated balance sheet. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Use of estimates: In preparing consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Material estimates susceptible to significant change in the near term include the allowance for loan losses, deferred tax assets and the fair value of assets and liabilities.

Business combinations: The Company applies the acquisition method of accounting for business combinations. Under the acquisition method, the acquiring entity in a business combination recognizes 100 percent of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at their acquisition date fair values. Management utilizes valuation techniques appropriate for the asset or liability being measured in

determining these fair values. Any excess of the purchase price over amounts allocated to assets acquired, including identifiable intangible assets, and liabilities assumed is recorded as goodwill. When amounts allocated to assets acquired and liabilities assumed are greater than the purchase price, a bargain purchase gain is recognized. Acquisition-related costs are expensed as incurred. The Company incurred $135,628 in acquisition-related costs for the year ended December 31, 2010. In addition, Carpenter Community Bancfunds incurred $350,000 in acquisition-related costs during the year ended December 31, 2010. Both the Company and Carpenter Community Bancfunds, collectively owners of 99.99 percent of the common stock of CGB Holdings, Inc., were reimbursed for these expenses through a reduction of proceeds paid to the former shareholders of Professional Business Bank.

Cash, cash equivalents and cash flows: For purposes of reporting cash flows, cash and cash equivalents include cash, due from banks and interest-earning deposits in other financial institutions.

Concentration of credit risk and cash and due from banks: Banking regulations require that banks maintain a percentage of their deposits as reserves in cash or on deposit with the Federal Reserve Bank. The Bank was in compliance with all reserve requirements as of December 31, 2011.

The Company maintains amounts due from banks, which may exceed federally insured limits. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts.

Investment securities: Investment securities are classified as available-for-sale and recorded at fair value. Unrealized gains or losses on available-for-sale securities are excluded from net income and reported as a separate component of other comprehensive income included in stockholders' equity. Premiums or discounts on available-for-sale securities are amortized or accreted into income using the interest method. Realized gains or losses on sales of available-for-sale securities are recorded using the specific identification method.

Management evaluates securities for other-than-temporary impairment (OTTI) at least on a quarterly basis and more frequently when economic or market conditions warrant such evaluation. Declines in the fair value of individual available-for-sale securities below their cost that are other than temporary result in write-downs of the individual securities to their fair value. In estimating other-than-temporary impairment losses, management considers the length of time and the extent to which the fair value has been less than cost, the financial condition and near-term prospects of the issuer, and the intent and ability of the Bank to retain its investment in the issuer for a period of time sufficient to allow for any anticipated recovery in fair value. If it is probable that the issuer of the security will be unable to pay all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the debt security, then OTTI will be recognized and the security will be written down to fair value.

If the Company intends to sell an impaired security, the Company records an other-than-temporary loss in an amount equal to the entire difference between fair value and amortized cost. If a security is determined to be other-than-temporarily impaired, but the Company does not intend to sell the security, only the credit portion of the estimated loss is recognized in earnings, with the other portion of the loss recognized in other comprehensive income.

Acquired loans from transaction on December 31, 2010: Acquired loans from the transaction accounted for as a business combination (see Note 2) include both nonperforming loans with evidence of credit deterioration since their origination date and performing loans with no such credit deterioration. The Company is accounting for a significant majority of the loans, including loans with

F-9

NOTE 1. NATURE OF BUSINESS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

evidence of credit deterioration acquired in the transaction in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 310-30, Accounting for Loans or Certain Securities Acquired in a Transfer, formerly known as Statement of Position (SOP) 03-3.

At the date of acquisition, the Company recorded the loans at their fair value. In accordance with ASC 310-30, the Company has pooled performing loans at the date of purchase. The loans were aggregated into pools based on common risk characteristics.

The difference between the undiscounted cash flows expected to be collected at acquisition and the investment in the loan, or the "accretable yield," is recognized as interest income on a level-yield method over the life of the loan. Contractually required payments for interest and principal that exceed the undiscounted cash flows expected at acquisition, or the "nonaccretable difference," are not recognized as a yield adjustment, loss accrual or valuation allowance. Increases in expected cash flows subsequent to the initial investment are recognized prospectively through adjustment of the yield on the loan over its remaining life. Decreases in expected cash flows are recognized as impairment. If the Company does not have the information necessary to reasonably estimate cash flows to be expected, it may use the cost recovery method or cash basis method of income recognition. Valuation allowances on these impaired loans reflect only losses incurred after the acquisition (meaning the present value of all cash flows expected at acquisition that ultimately are not to be received).

Originated loans: Loans receivable that management has the intent and ability to hold for the foreseeable future or until maturity or payoff are reported at their outstanding unpaid principal balances reduced by any charge-offs, net of deferred loan fees or costs, unearned discounts, fair value valuation allowances and net of allowance for loan losses or specific valuation accounts. Loan origination fees and certain direct origination costs are capitalized and recognized as an adjustment of the yield of the related loan. Interest on loans is accrued daily and recognized over the terms of the loans and is calculated using the simple-interest method based on principal amounts outstanding.

Loans on which the accrual of interest has been discontinued are designated as nonaccrual loans. Generally, the accrual of interest on loans is discontinued when principal or interest is past due 90 days based on the contractual terms of the loan or when, in the opinion of management, there is reasonable doubt as to collectability. When loans are placed on nonaccrual status, all interest previously accrued but not collected is reversed against current period interest income. Income on nonaccrual loans is subsequently recognized only to the extent that cash is received and the loan's principal balance is deemed collectable. Interest accruals are resumed on such loans only when they are brought current with respect to interest and principal for a period of at least six months and when, in the judgment of management, the loans are estimated to be fully collectible as to all principal and interest.

The Company's loan portfolio consists primarily of the following loan types:

•: Construction loans: Construction loans consist of vacant land and property that is in the process of improvement. Repayment of these loans can be dependent on the sale of the property to third parties or the successful completion of the improvements by the builder for the end user. In the event a loan is made on property that is not yet improved for the planned development, there is the risk that approvals will not be granted or will be delayed. Construction loans also run the risk that improvements will not be completed on time or in accordance with specifications and projected costs. Construction real estate loans generally have terms of one

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)

NOTE 1. NATURE OF BUSINESS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

year to eighteen months during the construction period and interest rates based on a designated index.

•: Commercial real estate loans: Commercial real estate loans are primarily secured by apartment buildings, office and industrial buildings, warehouses, small retail shopping centers and various special purpose properties, including hotels, restaurants and nursing homes. Although terms vary, commercial real estate loans generally have amortizations of 15 to 25 years, as well as balloon payments of two to five years, and terms which provide that the interest rates thereon may be adjusted annually at the Company's discretion, based on a designated index.
•: Residential multifamily real estate: Residential multifamily loans generally involve a greater degree of credit risk than residential real estate loans due to the reliance on the successful operation of the project. This loan type is sensitive to adverse economic conditions.
•: Commercial and industrial loans: Commercial and industrial loans are loans for commercial, corporate and business purposes, including issuing letters of credit. The Company's commercial business loan portfolio is comprised of loans for a variety of purposes and generally is secured by equipment, machinery and other business assets. Commercial business loans generally have terms of five years or less and interest rates that float in accordance with a designated published index. Substantially all of such loans are secured and backed by the personal guarantees of the owners of the business.
•: Residential 1-4 family real estate loans: Residential real estate loans are generally smaller in size and are homogenous because they exhibit similar characteristics.
•: Consumer: Consumer loans generally have higher interest rates than mortgage loans. The risk involved in consumer loans is the type and nature of the collateral and, in certain cases, the absence of collateral. Consumer loans include second mortgage and home equity loans, education loans, vehicle loans and other secured and unsecured loans that have been made for a variety of consumer purposes.

Allowance for loan losses: The allowance for loan losses is established through a provision for loan losses charged to expense. Loans are charged against the allowance for loan losses when management believes that collectability of the principal is unlikely. Subsequent recoveries, if any, are credited to the allowance.

The allowance is an amount that management believes will be adequate to absorb estimated losses relating to specifically identified loans, as well as probable credit losses inherent in the balance of the loan portfolio, based on an evaluation of the collectability of existing loans, prior loss experience and peer bank loss experience. This evaluation also takes into consideration such factors as changes in the nature and volume of the loan portfolio, overall portfolio quality, review of specific problem loans and current economic conditions that may affect the borrower's ability to pay. While management uses the best information available to make its evaluation, future adjustments to the allowance may be necessary if there are significant changes in economic conditions. In addition, regulatory agencies, as an integral part of their examination process, periodically review the Company's allowance for loan losses and may require the Company to make additions to the allowance based on their judgment about information available to them at the time of their examinations.

NOTE 1. NATURE OF BUSINESS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

When establishing the allowance for loan losses, management categorizes loans into risk categories generally based on the nature of the collateral and the basis of repayment. These risk categories are pass, substandard, doubtful and loss. The relevant risk characteristics of these risk categories are more fully described in Note 4.

The allowance consists of two primary components, specific reserves related to impaired loans and general reserves for inherent losses related to loans that are not impaired. For such loans that are classified as impaired, an allowance is established when the discounted cash flows (or collateral value or observable market price) of the impaired loan are lower than the carrying value of that loan. The general component of the allowance covers non-impaired loans and is based on historical and peer banks' loss experience adjusted for current factors. The historical loss experience is determined by portfolio segment and is based on the actual loss history experienced by the Company and peer banks over the most recent three years. This actual loss experience is supplemental with other economic and qualitative factors based on the risks present for each portfolio segment. These economic and qualitative factors include consideration of the following: levels of and trends in delinquencies and impaired loans; levels of and trends in charge-offs and recoveries; trends in volume and terms of loans; effects of any changes in risk selection and underwriting standards; other changes in lending policies, procedures and practices; experience, ability, and depth of lending management and other relevant staff; national and local economic trends and conditions; industry conditions; and effects of changes in credit concentrations.

A loan is impaired when it is probable, based on current information and events, the Company will be unable to collect all contractual principal and interest payments due in accordance with the terms of the loan agreement. Impaired loans are measured on an individual basis for commercial and construction loans based on the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan's effective interest rate or, as a practical expedient, at the loan's observable market price or the fair value of the collateral if the loan is collateral dependent. The amount of impairment, if any, and any subsequent changes are included in the allowance for loan losses.

Factors considered by management in determining impairment include payment status, collateral value, and the probability of collecting scheduled principal and interest payments when due. Loans that experience insignificant payment delays and payment shortfalls generally are not classified as impaired. Management determines the significance of payment delays and payment shortfalls on a case-by-case basis, taking into consideration all of the circumstances surrounding the loan and the borrower, including the length of the delay, the reasons for the delay, the borrower's prior payment record, and the amount of the shortfall in relation to the principal and interest owed.

Commercial and commercial real estate loans are individually evaluated for impairment. If a loan is impaired, a portion of the allowance is allocated so that the loan is reported, net, at the present value of estimated future cash flows using the loan's existing rate or at the fair value of collateral if repayment is expected solely from the collateral. Large groups of smaller balance homogeneous loans, such as consumer and residential real estate loans, may collectively be evaluated for impairment, and accordingly, they are not separately identified for impairment disclosures.

All loans on nonaccrual status are considered to be impaired; however, not all impaired loans are on nonaccrual status. Impaired loans on accrual status are loans that continue to pay as agreed. Factors that contribute to a performing loan being classified as impaired include payment status, collateral

value, probability of collecting scheduled payments, delinquent taxes and debts to other lenders that cannot be serviced out of existing cash flow.

A troubled debt restructuring is a loan which the Company, for reasons related to a borrower's financial difficulties, grants a concession to a borrower that the Company would not otherwise consider. The loan terms which have been modified or restructured due to a borrower's financial difficulty include, but are not limited to, a reduction in the stated interest rate, an extension of the maturity at an interest rate below market, a reduction in the face amount of the debt, and a reduction in the accrued interest or extension, deferral, renewal or rewrite. Under ASC 310, Receivables, troubled debt restructurings are considered impaired loans and are evaluated for the amount of impairment, with the appropriate allowance for loan loss adjustment.

Troubled debt restructurings are separately identified for impairment disclosures and are measured at the present value of estimated future cash flows using the loan's effective rate at inception. If a troubled debt is considered to be a collateral dependent loan, the loan is reported at the fair value of the collateral. For troubled debt restructurings that subsequently default, the Bank determines the amount of reserve in accordance with the accounting policy for the allowance for loan losses.

The restructured loans may be classified "special mention" or "substandard" depending on the severity of the modification. Loans that were paid current at the time of modification may be upgraded in their classification after a sustained period of repayment performance, usually six months or longer.

Loans that are past due at the time of modification are classified "substandard" on nonaccrual status. Those loans may be upgraded in their classification and placed on accrual status once there is a sustained period of repayment performance (usually six months or longer) and there is a reasonable assurance that the repayment will continue. Generally, until a loan that is a TDR is paid in full or otherwise settled, sold, or charged off, the loan must be reported as a TDR.

Transfers of financial assets: The Company adopted authoritative guidance under ASC Topic 860, Transfers and Servicing, on January 1, 2010 with no significant impact on the Company's financial statements. Transfers of financial assets are accounted for as sales only when control over the assets has been surrendered. Control over transferred assets is deemed to be surrendered when: (1) the assets have been isolated from the Company, (2) the transferee obtains the right to pledge or exchange the assets it received, and no condition both constrains the transferee from taking advantage of its right to pledge or exchange and provides more than a modest benefit to the transferor, and (3) the Company does not maintain effective control over the transferred assets through an agreement to repurchase them before their maturity or the ability to unilaterally cause the holder to return specific assets. In addition, for transfers of a portion of financial assets (for example, participations of loan receivables), the transfer must meet the definition of a "participating interest" in order to account for the transfer as a sale. Following are the characteristics of a participating interest:

•: Pro rata ownership in an entire financial asset.
•: From the date of the transfer, all cash flows received from entire financial assets are divided proportionately among the participating interest holders in an amount equal to their share of ownership.
•: The rights of each participating interest holder have the same priority, and no participating interest holder's interest is subordinated to the interest of another participating interest holder.

F-13

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)

NOTE 1. NATURE OF BUSINESS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

That is, no participating interest holder is entitled to receive cash before any other participating interest holder under its contractual rights as a participating interest holder.

•: No party has the right to pledge or exchange the entire financial asset unless all participating interest holders agree to pledge or exchange the entire financial asset.

The Company accounts for transfers and servicing of financial assets by recognizing the financial and servicing assets it controls and the liabilities it has incurred, derecognizes financial assets when control has been surrendered, and derecognizes liabilities when extinguished.

Other Real Estate Owned: Real estate acquired through, or in lieu of, loan foreclosures is held for sale and initially recorded at fair value less cost to sell, establishing a new cost basis. Subsequent to foreclosure, valuations are periodically performed by management and the assets are carried at the lower of carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell. Subsequent write-downs to fair value are charged to earnings. CGB Holdings has $1,447,000 of OREO at December 31, 2010, which is included within the accrued interest receivable and other assets line item on the balance sheet.

Premises and equipment: Premises and equipment are carried at cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives, which range from three to 10 years for furniture, equipment and computer equipment and 40 years for buildings. Leasehold improvements are amortized using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the improvements or the remaining lease term, whichever is shorter.

Investment in Federal Home Loan Bank stock: The Company is a member of the Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB) of San Francisco and, as such, is required to maintain a minimum investment in stock of the FHLB that varies with the level of loans eligible to be pledged and advances outstanding with the FHLB. The stock is bought from and sold to the FHLB based upon its $100 par value. The stock does not have a readily determinable fair value and, as such, is classified as restricted stock, carried at cost and evaluated for impairment in accordance with ASC 942-325-35. In accordance with this guidance, the stock's value is determined by the ultimate recoverability of the par value rather than by recognizing temporary declines. The determination of whether the par value will ultimately be recovered is influenced by criteria such as (a) the significance of the decline in net assets of the FHLB as compared to the capital stock amount and the length of time this situation has persisted, (b) commitments by the FHLB to make payments required by law or regulation and the level of such payments in relation to the operating performance, (c) the impact of legislative and regulatory changes on the customer base of the FHLB and (d) the liquidity position of the FHLB. No impairment losses have been recorded during the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010.

Core deposit intangible: Core deposit intangible assets are amortized over seven years. The Company evaluates the remaining useful lives of its core deposit intangible assets each reporting period to determine whether events and circumstances warrant a revision to the remaining period of amortization. If the estimate of an intangible asset's remaining useful life is changed, the remaining carrying amount of the intangible asset is amortized prospectively over the revised remaining useful life. The balance of the core deposit intangible at December 31, 2011 and 2010 is $1.9 million, net of $0.5 million of amortization and $2.3 million net of $0 amortization, respectively.

NOTE 1. NATURE OF BUSINESS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

Income taxes: The Company and its subsidiaries file a consolidated federal and a combined state income tax return. Pursuant to a tax sharing agreement, the company is responsible for payment of taxes to the taxing authorities. The subsidiaries (including the Bank) are required to pay the Company an amount equal to their separate federal and state tax liability, computed as if each subsidiary filed separate income tax returns.

Deferred income taxes are computed using the asset and liability method, which recognizes a liability or asset representing the tax effects, based on current tax law, of future deductible or taxable amounts attributable to events that have been recognized in the financial statements. A valuation allowance is established to reduce the deferred tax asset to the level at which it is more likely than not that the tax asset or benefits will be realized. Realization of tax benefits of deductible temporary differences and operating loss carryforwards depends on having sufficient taxable income of an appropriate character within the carryforward periods. Due to the Company's operating losses, management has determined that a full valuation allowance on its deferred tax assets is necessary.

The Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued guidance on accounting for uncertainty in income taxes. Management believes that all tax positions taken to date are highly certain and, accordingly, no accounting adjustment has been made to the financial statements. Interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions are recorded as part of income tax expense.

Advertising costs: The Company expenses the costs of advertising in the period incurred.

Financial instruments: In the ordinary course of business, the Company has entered into off-balance-sheet financial instruments consisting of commitments to extend credit, commercial letters of credit and standby letters of credit. Such financial instruments are recorded in the financial statements when they are funded.

Comprehensive income: The Comprehensive Income Topic of the FASB ASC establishes standards for the reporting and display of comprehensive income in the financial statements. Other comprehensive income (loss) refers to revenues, expenses, gains and losses that generally accepted accounting principles recognize as changes in value to an enterprise but are excluded from net income. The Company's comprehensive income as of December 31, 2011 and 2010 consists of net income and changes in fair value of its available-for-sale investment securities.

Earnings per share: Basic earnings per share (EPS) excludes dilution and is computed by dividing income available to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted EPS reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock or resulted in the issuance of common stock that then shared in the earnings of the entity. At December 31, 2011, there were no awards outstanding which were considered common stock equivalents for diluted EPS purposes as they would be anti-dilutive as a result of operating losses incurred. The total shares that are potentially dilutive at December 31, 2011 includes stock options of 108,159 which have no intrinsic value and restricted share grants of 102,758.

Fair value measurement: Applicable accounting guidance establishes a fair value hierarchy based on the valuation inputs used to measure fair value and clarifies assumptions about risk and the effect of a restriction on the sale or use of an asset.

Fair value is defined in the accounting standards as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. Accounting standards also establish a fair value hierarchy, which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. The standard describes the following three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:

•: Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) or identical assets or liabilities in active markets that the entity has the ability to access as of the measurement date.
•: Level 2: Significant other observable inputs other than Level 1 prices such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data.
•: Level 3: Significant unobservable inputs that reflect a company's own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability.

See Note 15 for additional information.

Stock-based compensation: The Company is required to recognize the cost of employee services received in exchange for awards of stock options, or other equity instruments, based on the grant-date fair value of those awards. This cost is recognized over the period in which an employee is required to provide services in exchange for the award, generally the vesting period.

Subsequent events: The Company has evaluated subsequent events for potential recognition and disclosure through April 16, 2012, the date on which the consolidated financial statements were available to be issued.

Recent accounting pronouncements: In April 2011, the FASB issued amended accounting and disclosure guidance relating to a creditor's determination of whether a restructuring is a troubled debt restructuring. The amendments clarify the guidance on a creditor's valuation of whether it has granted a concession and whether a debtor is experiencing financial difficulties. This guidance is effective for annual periods ending on or after December 15, 2012, including interim periods within those annual

periods. The adoption of this guidance is not expected to have a material impact on the Bank's financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

In May 2011, the FASB issued updated accounting guidance related to fair value measurements and disclosures that result in common fair value measurements and disclosures between U.S. GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards. This guidance includes amendments that clarify the application of existing fair value measurement requirements, in addition to other amendments that change principles or requirements for measuring fair value and for disclosing information about fair value measurements. This guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011. The adoption of this guidance is not expected to have a material effect on the Bank's consolidated financial statements.

In June 2011, the FASB issued new accounting guidance related to the presentation of comprehensive income that eliminates the option to present components of other comprehensive income as part of the statement of changes in stockholders' equity. The amendments require that all nonowner changes in stockholders' equity be presented either in a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements. The amendments do not change the items that must be reported in other comprehensive income or when an item of other comprehensive income must be reclassified to net income. This guidance is effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2012, and interim and annual periods thereafter. The Company is currently evaluating which presentation option it will utilize for comprehensive income in its consolidated financial statements. The adoption of this guidance will not impact the Company's financial position, results of operations or cash flows and will only impact the presentation of other comprehensive income in the consolidated financial statements.

NOTE 2. MERGER OF PROFESSIONAL BUSINESS BANK INTO CALIFORNIA GENERAL BANK AND RELATED NAME CHANGE

At December 31, 2010, three Carpenter Community Bancfunds collectively owned in excess of 99.99 percent of the common stock of CGB Holdings, Inc. On December 29, 2010, these funds purchased 225 thousand common shares of the Company for $100 per share, or $22.5 million in the aggregate, increasing their collective ownership position to 392,500 common shares of the total 392,520 shares outstanding at year-end. In connection with the purchase of 225 thousand common shares, the Company issued $112 thousand of warrants which allow the purchaser to purchase one share of common stock per warrant at a price of $100 per share over a period of five years. No warrants have been exercised as of December 31, 2011.

At January 1, 2010, the Company owned 81.4 percent of California General Bank. On December 29, 2010, the Company purchased 906,667 additional shares of California General Bank for $7.50 per share (which approximated book value) or $6.8 million. On December 31, 2010, the Company purchased an additional 1,580,000 shares of California General Bank common stock for $7.50 per share or $11.9 million (which approximated book value). The Company's ownership interest in California General Bank's common stock increased from 81.4 percent to 91.7 percent as a result of the additional stock purchases during 2010.

On December 31, 2010, the Company acquired 100 percent of the stock of Professional Business Bank for $11.4 million in cash, net of reimbursed expenses of $0.5 million. The proceeds of $11.4 million were utilized by the former shareholders of Professional Business Bank to repay certain creditors in the amount of $4.3 million and to issue a senior note to CGB Asset Management, Inc. in the amount of $6 million. The remaining cash of $1.1 million was paid to the former shareholders of Professional Business Bank.

Simultaneously with the acquisition of Professional Business Bank, the Company merged Professional Business Bank into California General Bank with California General Bank remaining as the surviving entity and bank charter. California General Bank adopted the Professional Business Bank name. The merger added five full-service branches, two of which were closed in 2011.

The excess of the estimated fair value of the net assets acquired by California General Bank over the purchase price was $3.8 million, which was recorded as a bargain purchase gain. The assets acquired included a core deposit intangible of $2.3 million, which is being amortized over a period of seven years in proportion to the related benefits. No amortization expense was recognized in 2010. The assets and liabilities of Professional Business Bank accounted for at fair value that required either a third-party or an internal valuation analysis included the core deposit intangible, loans, investment securities, land and a building, contractual lease obligations, deposits and borrowings as of December 31, 2010. Balances considered to be at fair value at the date of acquisition were cash and cash equivalents, other assets (interest receivable) and other liabilities (interest payable).

In addition, on December 31, 2010, the Company purchased 100 percent of the common stock of CGB Asset Management, Inc. through an investment of $3.5 million. Simultaneously, Carpenter Community Bancfunds invested $6 million in a senior note issued by CGB Asset Management, Inc. Also on December 31, 2010, CGB Asset Management, Inc. issued $5.8 million and $225,000 in senior notes to Belvedere Capital Fund II, LP and SoCal Bancorporation (former Professional Business Bank shareholders), respectively.

On December 31, 2010, the Company sold $13.5 million in loans at fair value (its historical cost basis post merger) and $1.5 million in other real estate owned at fair value to its wholly-owned subsidiary CGB Asset Management, Inc. On March 30, 2011, the ownership of CGB Asset Management, Inc. was transferred from CGB Holdings, Inc. to Carpenter Community Bancfunds through an exchange of common stock and preferred stock. The transfer was accounted for at historical cost because the companies were under common control.

There were no investment securities with continuous unrealized losses greater than 12 months at December 31, 2011 and 2010.

The amortized cost and fair value of available-for-sale securities as of December 31, 2011, by contractual maturities, is as follows (dollars in thousands):

	Amortized Cost		Fair Value

Due in one year or less	$	1,517	$	1,518

	$	8,950	$	9,460

Although mortgage-backed securities have contractual maturities through 2033, the expected maturity will differ from the contractual maturities because borrowers or issuers may have the right to prepay such obligations without penalties.

The Company pledges securities for various purposes, and securities totaling $7.2 million are pledged as of December 31, 2011.

NOTE 4. LOANS AND ALLOWANCES FOR LOAN LOSSES

The Company's loan portfolio consists primarily of loans to borrowers within Southern California. Although the Company seeks to avoid concentrations of loans to a single industry or based upon a single class of collateral, real estate and real estate-associated businesses are among the principal industries in the Company's market area, and as a result, the Company's loan and collateral portfolios are, to some degree, concentrated in those industries. The Company's loan policy requires that sufficient collateral, which consists primarily of real estate, be obtained as necessary to meet the Company's relative risk criteria for each borrower.

Commercial real estate loans represent 67 percent of total loans as of December 31, 2011. A substantial decline in the performance of the economy in general or a continued decline in real estate values in the Company's primary market area in particular could have an adverse impact on collectability, increase the level of real estate-related nonperforming loans, or have other adverse effects, which alone or in the aggregate could have a material adverse effect on the financial condition of the Company.

The following provides additional information related to the acquired loans in 2010. The estimated contractual payments in the tables below include the estimated impact of prepayments on the loans purchased. These same prepayments are also utilized in estimating the total expected cash flows to be collected. The total acquired loans accounted for under ASC 310-30 amounted to $97.7 million and $147.7 million at December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively. The total contractual outstanding amount for loans under ASC 310-30 are $106.9 million and $165.8 million for December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively. The remaining acquired loans were not eligible for ASC 310-30 accounting.

Acquired performing loans at December 31, 2010 includes $29.1 million of loans at fair value that are accounted for under ASC 310-20. On the date of acquisition, these loans had an outstanding balance of $29.9 million and a related discount of $806 thousand. Information related to acquired loans accounted for under ASC 310-30 is as follows:

	Estimated Contractual Payments		Accretable Yield			Nonaccretable Yield			Estimated Fair Value

Balance, December 31, 2010	$	174,078	$	(25,720	)	$	(14,996	)	$	133,362

Acquired nonperforming loans in 2010 (dollars in thousands):

	Estimated Contractual Payments		Accretable Yield			Nonaccretable Yield			Estimated Fair Value

Balance, December 31, 2010	$	20,873	$	(1,567	)	$	(4,204	)	$	15,102

Approximately 71 percent of the loans acquired in 2010 were classified as commercial real estate loans (based on estimated fair value on the acquisition date).

The excess of cash flows expected to be collected over the initial fair value of acquired loans is referred to as accretable yield and is accreted into interest income over the estimated life of the acquired loans using the effective yield method. The accretable yield will change due to:

•: Estimate of the remaining life of acquired loans which may change the amount of future interest income
•: Estimate of the amount of contractually required principal and interest payments over the estimated life that will not be collected (the nonaccretable difference)
•: Indices for acquired loans with variable rates of interest
•: Improvement in the amount of expected cash flows

The following table reflects changes in accretable yield of for acquired loans accounted for under ASC 310-30 for the year (dollars in thousands):


Balance at December 31, 2010	$	27,287
Interest income recognized in earnings(2)		(11,961	)
Additions(1)		3,917
Reclassification of nonaccretable to accretable		7,365
Amounts transferred to accretable from nonaccretable due to loan payoffs		1,553

Balance at December 31, 2011	$	28,161

(1): Additions included above reflect increases in expected cash flows based on management's cash flow assumptions which include an expectation that acquired loans maturing within a 60 month period from the reporting date will renew at the current estimated market rate for an addition 60 month period. The renewal assumption increases interest cash flows, and therefore accretable yield, compared to the cash flows originally estimated at acquisition, which did not include a renewal assumption. However, this change will not have a significant impact on our expected annual yield on these acquired loans.
(2): Includes $3.0 million in accretion related to early loan pay offs.

After one year of historical performance of the acquired loan portfolio, the credit quality is performing better than originally estimated. Approximately 31 percent of the acquired loans with credit deterioration were paid off during the year ending December 31, 2011. Acquired loans with no evidence of credit deterioration also performed better than originally estimated. Increased interest yield associated with acquired loan payoffs totaled $3.0 million at December 31, 2011, of which $2.7 million resulted from discounted payoffs of acquired loans with evidence of credit deterioration with the remaining $300 thousand of gain associated with the payoff of a pool of loans acquired with no evidence of credit deterioration at acquisition. The better than expected performance of acquired loans resulted in a decrease to the nonaccretable difference which will result in increased interest income recognition over the remaining life of the loans.

The following table reflects changes in the allowance for loan losses for acquired loans for the year ended December 31, 2011 (dollars in thousands):

As part of the on-going monitoring of the credit quality of the Company's loan portfolio, management categorizes loans into risk categories based on relevant information about the ability of borrowers to service their debt and comply with various terms of their loan agreements. The Company considers current financial information, historical payment experience, credit documentation, public information and current economic trends. Generally, all sizeable credits receive a financial review no less than annually to monitor and adjust, if necessary, the credit's risk profile. Credits classified as watch generally receive a review more frequently than annually. For special mention, substandard, and doubtful credit classifications, the frequency of review is increased to no less than quarterly in order to determine potential impact on credit loss estimates.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)

NOTE 4. LOANS AND ALLOWANCES FOR LOAN LOSSES (Continued)

The Company categorizes loans into the following risk categories based on relevant information about the ability of borrowers to service their debt:

Pass: A pass asset is well protected by the current worth and paying capacity of the obligator (or guarantors, if any) or by the fair value, less cost to acquire and sell, of any underlying collateral in a timely manner. Pass assets also include certain assets considered watch, which are still protected by the worth and paying capacity of the borrower but deserve closer attention and a higher level of credit monitoring.

Special mention: A special mention asset has potential weaknesses that deserve management's close attention. The asset may also be subject to a weak or speculative market or to economic conditions, which may, in the future adversely affect the obligator. If left uncorrected, these potential weaknesses may result in deterioration of the repayment prospects for the asset or in the Company's credit position at some future date. Special mention assets are not adversely classified and do not expose the Company to sufficient risk to warrant adverse classification.

Substandard: A substandard asset is an asset with a well-defined weakness that jeopardizes repayment, in whole or in part, of the debt. These credits are inadequately protected by the current sound worth and paying capacity of the obligor or of the collateral pledged. These assets are characterized by the distinct possibility that the institution will sustain some loss of principal and/or interest if the deficiencies are not corrected. It is not necessary for a loan to have an identifiable loss potential in order to receive this rating.

Doubtful: An asset that has all the weaknesses inherent in the substandard classification, with the added characteristic that the weaknesses make collection or liquidation in full, on the basis of currently known facts, conditions and values, highly questionable and improbable. The possibility of loss is extremely likely, but it is not identified at this point due to pending factors.

Loss: An asset, or portion thereof, classified as loss is considered uncollectible and of such little value that its continuance on the Company's books as an asset is not warranted. This classification does not necessarily mean that an asset has no recovery or salvage value; but rather, there is much doubt about whether, how much, or when the recovery would occur. As such, it is not practical or desirable to defer the write-off. Therefore, there is no balance to report at December 31, 2011.

The following table presents the risk category of loans evaluated by internal asset classification based on the most recent analysis performed and the contractual aging as of December 31, 2011 (dollars in thousands):

NOTE 7. BORROWING ARRANGEMENTS

The Company has financing availability with the FHLB secured by certain of its loans and investment securities. As of December 31, 2011, this line had total financing availability of approximately $38 million, of which none is outstanding at December 31, 2011. Interest rates are determined at the time of each borrowing.

The Company may also borrow up to $4.9 million overnight in its borrowing facility with the Federal Reserve Bank. The Company pledged investment securities with market values of approximately $5.3 million as collateral for potential borrowings. The Company had no outstanding borrowings on this facility as of December 31, 2011. The Company also has a $3 million letter of credit from its correspondent bank upon receipt of acceptable collateral.

As discussed in Note 2, Carpenter Community Bancfunds and certain former shareholders of Professional Business Bank each originally contributed $6 million notes payable to CGB Asset Management, Inc., of which the entire amount was outstanding at December 31, 2010. The borrowings required mandatory quarterly principal payments due within 15 days of each quarter end and accrued interest at 10 percent per annum. As a condition of the merger, the Company was informed by its regulator that the notes would be required to be converted to preferred stock that would qualify as Tier 1 capital under the regulations and policies of the Federal Reserve Board within 60 days of the close of the merger. The Company converted the notes to preferred stock within the required time period. On March 31, 2011, the Preferred Stock was transferred to the Carpenter Community Bancfunds (see Note 2).

NOTE 8. EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLAN

NOTE 11. RELATED-PARTY TRANSACTIONS

There were no loans outstanding to directors, officers or their related interests as of December 31, 2011 or 2010.

NOTE 12. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Financial instruments with off-balance-sheet risk: In the ordinary course of business, the Company enters into financial commitments to meet the financing needs of its customers. These financial commitments include commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit. Those instruments involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit and interest rate risk not recognized in the Company's financial statements.

The Company's exposure to loan loss in the event of nonperformance on commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit is represented by the contractual amount of those instruments. The Company uses the same credit policies in making commitments as it does for loans reflected in the financial statements.

As of December 31, 2011, the Company had the following outstanding financial commitments whose contractual amount represents credit risk (dollars in thousands):


Commitments to extend credit	$	22,799
Standby letters of credit		694

	$	23,493

Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to a customer as long as there is no violation of any condition established in the contract. Since many of the commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon, the total amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements. The Company evaluates each client's creditworthiness on a case-by-case basis. The

NOTE 12. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES (Continued)

amount of collateral obtained if deemed necessary by the Company is based on management's credit evaluation of the customer. The majority of the Company's commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit are secured by real estate.

Contingencies: In the ordinary course of business, the Company is involved in various litigation. In the opinion of management, based upon the advice of the Company's legal counsel, the disposition of such litigation will not have a material effect on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

NOTE 13. STOCK OPTION PLAN AND RESTRICTED SHARE GRANTS

The Company adopted a stock option plan (the Plan) for organizers, officers and employees of the Company in 2009. Under the terms of the Plan, officers and key employees may be granted both nonqualified and incentive stock options, and directors and other consultants, who are not also an officer or employee, may only be granted nonqualified stock options. The Plan provides for a maximum number of shares that may be awarded to eligible employees and directors not to exceed 425,366 shares. Stock options are granted at a price not less than 100 percent of the fair market value of the stock on the date of grant. Stock options expire no later than 10 years from the date of the grant, and all equity-based awards generally vest over five years. Certain options granted to organizers who supplied "risk" capital to fund pre-opening operations vested immediately upon grant in March 2009. The Company recognized stock-based compensation expense related to stock options of $24 thousand and $53 thousand for the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

A summary of the status of the Company's stock option plan as of December 31, 2011 and changes during the period ending thereon is presented below:

			Weighted- Average Exercise Price

Outstanding at beginning of period	131,185		$	10.00
Granted	—
Exercised	—
Forfeited or expired	(23,026	)		10.00

Outstanding at end of period	108,159

Options exercisable	82,339			10.00	7.20

Vested and expected to vest	108,159			10.00	7.20

The weighted-average grant date fair value of options granted during 2010 was $3.40. There were no options granted in 2011. Options vested and expected to vest in future years had no intrinsic value at December 31, 2011 and 2010. Intrinsic value is based on the excess of the market price of the Company's stock over the weighted-average exercise price.

NOTE 13. STOCK OPTION PLAN AND RESTRICTED SHARE GRANTS (Continued)

As of December 31, 2010, there was $74 thousand of total unrecognized compensation cost related to the outstanding stock options that will be recognized over a weighted-average period of 2.2 years.

The estimated fair value of the options granted during 2010 and prior years was calculated using the Black-Scholes options pricing model. Volatility is based on the historical volatility of the peer bank's stock over the expected life of the award. The Bank uses historical data to estimate option exercise and employee termination within the valuation model; separate groups of employees that have similar historical exercise behavior are considered separately for valuation purposes. The expected term of options granted is derived from historical data and represents the period of time that options granted are expected to be outstanding; the range given below results from certain groups of employees exhibiting different behavior. The risk-free rate for periods within the contractual life of the option is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant. The fair value of each stock option granted in 2010 was estimated on the date of grant using the following weighted-average assumptions:


Expected dividends	—
Weighted-average volatility	22.50	%
Risk-free interest rate	4.20	%
Expected term (in years)	5.6
Forfeiture rate	—

In 2011, the Company issued 102,758 restricted share grants to certain officers. The grants had a fair value, at grant date of $3.75 per share. 52,658 of the restricted shares were issued with a five year cliff vesting, with the remaining grants vesting 20 percent at each anniversary of issuance. There were no vested restricted share grants as of December 31, 2011. The Company recorded stock-based compensation costs related to restricted share grants of $74 thousand in 2011.

NOTE 14. REGULATORY MATTERS

On December 31, 2010, Professional Business Bank was acquired by CGB Holdings, Inc. and thereafter directly invested in its subsidiary bank, California General Bank. Upon receipt of this investment, California General Bank adopted the Professional Business Bank name. The Company's acquisition of Professional Business Bank, together with its subsequent merger into California General Bank, was approved by the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) and the California Department of Financial Institutions (DFI).

As part of its regulatory application, the Company committed to achieve a weighted classified asset ratio of less than 15 percent at the transaction consummation date pursuant to the Federal Reserve Bank specified calculation instructions and to convert $12 million of secured notes issued by CGB Asset Management, Inc. to financial instruments that qualify as equity capital under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles and approved in advance as such by the Federal Reserve Bank. Management believes both of these commitments have been satisfied.

Regulatory approvals also included the following continuing stipulations:

•: Professional Business Bank requires prior regulatory approval for any major deviation or material change from the application business plan during the three years following bank merger consummation.

F-35

Table of Contents

CGB Holdings, Inc. and Subsidiaries

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)

NOTE 14. REGULATORY MATTERS (Continued)

•: Professional Business Bank Tier 1 Leverage Capital Ratio is maintained at not less than 9 percent during the three years following bank merger consummation.
•: Proposed additional senior executive officers or members of the Board of Directors are submitted for prior approval and/or non-objection at least 30 days prior to proposed employment or Board election plan during the three years following the bank merger consummation.

The Bank is subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by the federal banking agencies. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can initiate certain mandatory, and possibly additional discretionary, actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct material effect on the Bank's financial statements. Under capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, the Bank must meet specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of the Bank's assets, liabilities and certain off-balance-sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting practices. The Bank's capital amounts and classification are also subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators about components, risk weightings and other factors. The Bank is also subject to the regulatory framework for Prompt Corrective Action (PCA) rules.

Quantitative measures established by regulation to ensure capital adequacy require the Bank to maintain minimum amounts and ratios (set forth in the table below) of total and Tier 1 capital (as defined in the regulations) to risk-weighted assets (as defined), and of Tier 1 capital (as defined) to average assets (as defined). Management believes, as of December 31, 2011, that the Bank meets all capital adequacy requirements to which it is subject.

As of December 31, 2011, the Bank believes it is well capitalized under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action (there are no conditions or events since that notification that management believes have changed the Bank's category). To be categorized as well-capitalized, the Bank must maintain minimum ratios as set forth in the table below. The following table also sets forth the Bank's actual capital amounts and ratios at December 31 (dollars in thousands):

	Amount of Capital Required

	Actual					For Capital Adequacy Purposes					To Be Well Capitalized Under Prompt Corrective Action Provisions
2011	Amount		Ratio %			Amount		Ratio %			Amount		Ratio %
Total capital (to risk-weighted assets)	$	34,742		19.22	%	$	14,482		8.00	%	$	18,103		10.00	%
Tier 1 capital (to risk-weighted assets)		32,476		17.96	%		7,241		4.00	%		10,862		6.00	%

NOTE 14. REGULATORY MATTERS (Continued)

The December 31, 2010 Tier 1 capital ratio (to average assets) in the above table is temporarily inflated due to the prescribed use of average assets for the ratio denominator. As California General Bank is the surviving entity of the two merged banks, only its assets are recognized for this merger date calculation. If calculated using December 31 assets of the combined banks, Tier 1 capital ratio would have been 10.36 percent, which management believes is more representative.

The California Financial Code provides that a bank may not make a cash distribution to its shareholders in excess of the lesser of the Bank's undivided profits or the Bank's net income for its last three fiscal years less the amount of any distribution made by the Bank's shareholders during the same period.

NOTE 15. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

The table below represents balances of assets measured and presented in the balance sheet at December 31 at fair value on a recurring basis (dollars in thousands):

Investment securities: The fair values of securities available for sale may be determined by obtaining quoted prices in active markets, when available, from nationally recognized securities exchanges (Level 1 inputs). If quoted market prices are not available, the fair value is determined by a matrix pricing, which is a mathematical technique widely used in the securities industry to value debt securities without relying exclusively on quoted prices for the specific securities but rather by relying on

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)

NOTE 15. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS (Continued)

the securities' relationship to other benchmark quoted securities (Level 2 inputs). Debt securities' pricing is generally obtained from one of the matrix pricing models developed from one of the three national pricing agencies. In case where significant credit valuation adjustments are incorporated into the estimation of fair value, reported amounts are classified as Level 3 inputs.

Collateral-dependent impaired loans: The Company does not record loans at fair value on a recurring basis. However, from time to time, fair value adjustments are recorded on these loans to reflect partial write-downs, through charge-offs or specific reserve allowances that are based on the current appraised or market-quoted value of the underlying collateral. Fair value estimates for collateral-dependent impaired loans are obtained from real estate brokers or other third-party consultants (Level 3). The fair value of noncollateral-dependent loans is estimated using a discounted cash flow model.

Other real estate owned: The value assigned, in the quoted prices in active markets column, represent fair value of the properties as established by recently conducted appraisal of the property. The carrying values represent the actual sales contracts from an all-cash purchase price from third party buyers to purchase the property.

During 2011 the Company determined that, since there were specific trades on the exact U.S. government agency securities, such assets should be classified out of Level 2 into Level 1.

The following table presents a rollforward including additional information about the financial assets of the Company measured at fair value on a recurring basis for which the Company used significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) for the year ended December 31, 2011. There were no transfers to Level 3 in the year ended December 31, 2010 (dollars in thousands).

Fair value of financial instruments: The following disclosure of the carrying amount and estimated fair value of financial instruments is made in accordance with the requirements of SFAS No. 107, as codified in ASC 825-10, Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments. The estimated fair value amounts have been determined by the Company using available market information and appropriate valuation methodologies. However, considerable judgment is required to develop the estimates of fair value. Accordingly, the estimates presented below are not necessarily indicative of the amounts the Company could have realized in a current market exchange as of December 31, 2011 or 2010. The use of different market assumptions and/or estimation methodologies may have a material effect on the estimated fair value amounts.

Borrowings		—		—		12,000		12,000
Accrued interest payable		61		61		218		218

Cash and cash equivalents: The carrying amounts reported in the balance sheet for cash and due from banks, interest-earning deposits in other banks and federal funds sold approximate their fair value.

Loans: For variable-rate loans that reprice frequently and have experienced no significant change in credit risk, fair value is based on carrying value. Fair value for all other loans is estimated based on discounted cash flows, using interest rates currently being offered for loans with similar terms to borrowers with similar credit quality and for the same remaining maturities. Prepayments prior to the repricing date are not expected to be significant. Loans are expected to be held to maturity and any unrealized gains or losses are not expected to be realized.

FHLB stock and other bank stock: The carrying amounts reported in the balance sheets for the Company's investment in FHLB and other bank nonmarketable common stock approximates fair value.

Deposit liabilities: Fair value disclosed for demand deposits, including savings, NOW and money market accounts, equals their carrying amounts, which represent the amount payable on demand. The carrying amounts for variable-rate money market accounts and certificates of deposit approximate their fair value at the reporting date.

The fair value for fixed-rate certificates of deposit which have a remaining maturity of less than 12 months approximates their fair value. For the fixed-rate certificates greater than 12 months, the fair value is estimated using a discounted cash flow calculation that applies interest rates currently being offered on certificates to a schedule of aggregate expected monthly maturities on time deposits. Early withdrawal of fixed-rate certificates of deposit is not expected to be significant.

Accrued interest receivable and payable: The fair values of accrued interest receivable and payable approximate their carrying amounts.

NOTE 15. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS (Continued)

Borrowings: The fair value for borrowings is estimated using rates currently available for similar borrowings with similar credit risk, and for remaining maturities, including the Company's own credit risk associated with the ability to repay the loan.

Fair value of commitments: The estimated fair value of fee income on letters of credit at December 31, 2011 and 2010 is insignificant. Loan commitments on which the committed interest rate is less than the current market rate are also insignificant at December 31, 2011 and 2010.

Interest rate risk: The Company assumes interest rate risk as a result of its normal customer business activity. The fair value of the Company's financial instruments will change with movements in interest rate levels, spreads between interest rate indices, or implied future interest rate volatility. These changes may be either favorable or unfavorable to the Company. Management attempts to match interest rate repricing maturities of assets and liabilities to contain its adverse exposure within limits specified in its Interest Rate Risk Management policy. To the extent that customer business creates an excessive adverse risk exposure, management will moderate that risk by adjusting the tenor of fixed income investments and/or wholesale financings. Management measures interest rate risk in terms of predicted changes in forecasted net interest income and the estimated fair value of assets and liabilities should the yield curve shift above or below its current level.

MNHN or the Exchange Agent shall accept PBB share certificates upon compliance with such reasonable terms and conditions as MNHN or the Exchange Agent may impose to effect an orderly exchange thereof in accordance with customary exchange practices. PBB share certificates shall be appropriately endorsed or accompanied by such instruments of transfer as MNHN or the Exchange Agent may reasonably require. Each outstanding PBB share certificate, other than those representing Dissenting Shares, shall until duly surrendered to MNHN or the Exchange Agent be deemed to evidence the right to receive the Per Share Merger Consideration payable in respect of the shares represented thereby.

(c) No Further Rights. After the Effective Time, holders of PBB share certificates shall cease to have rights with respect to PBB Common Stock or PBB Common Stock previously represented by such PBB share certificates, and their sole rights (other than the holders of PBB share certificates representing Dissenting Shares) shall be to exchange such PBB share certificates for the Per Share Merger Consideration.

7.01 Termination. This Agreement may be terminated, and the transactions contemplated hereby may be abandoned, at any time prior to the Effective Time:

(a) Mutual Consent. By the mutual consent in writing of Manhattan and PBB.

(b) Breach. Provided that the terminating party is not then in material breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement contained herein, by MNHN or Manhattan, on the one hand, or PBB, on the other hand, in the event of a breach by the other Party or Parties of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement contained herein, which breach (i) cannot be or has not been cured within the shorter to occur of: (A) September 30, 2012 or (B) ten (10) days after the giving of written notice to the breaching party or parties of such breach, and (ii) would entitle the non-breaching party or parties not to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby under Section 6.02(a), (b) or (c) or 6.03(a), (b) or (c), as the case may be.

(c) Delay. By MNHN or Manhattan, on the one hand, or PBB, on the other hand, in the event that the transactions contemplated hereby are not consummated by June 30, 2012, except to the extent that the failure of the transactions contemplated hereby then to be consummated by such date results from the breach by the party or parties seeking to terminate pursuant to this Section 7.01(c) of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement of such party or parties set forth in this Agreement; provided, however, if the parties have used their respective reasonable best efforts in seeking approvals of Governmental Authorities, such date shall be automatically

A-1-48

Table of Contents

extended to a date not later than September 30, 2012 if the reason that the transactions contemplated hereby have not been consummated results from the delay or failure of any Governmental Authority to provide approvals, permits, registrations or other governmental consents required to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby.

(d) No Regulatory Approval. By MNHN or Manhattan, on the one hand, or PBB, on the other hand, in the event the approval of any Governmental Authority required for consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby shall have been denied by final nonappealable action of such Governmental Authority or an application therefor shall have been permanently withdrawn at the request of a Governmental Authority, provided, however, that no party or parties shall have the right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 7.01(d) if such denial shall be due to the failure of the party or parties seeking to terminate this Agreement to perform or observe the covenants of such party or parties set forth herein.

(e) Burdensome Condition. By MNHN, Manhattan, PBB or Fund Manager, if any regulatory approvals required to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby contain any conditions, restrictions or requirements which the Board of Directors of MHNH, Manhattan or PBB, as the case may be, or the manager or managing member of Fund Manager, reasonably determines in good faith would, individually or in the aggregate, materially reduce the benefits of the transactions contemplated hereby to such a degree that such party would not have entered into this Agreement had such conditions, restrictions or requirements been known at the date hereof (any such condition, restriction or requirement, a "Burdensome Condition").

(f) Superior Proposal.

(i) By MNHN if (i) MNHN or Manhattan is not in material breach of any of the terms of this Agreement, (ii) the Board of Directors of MNHN authorizes MNHN prior to receipt of the Requisite Shareholder Approval, subject to complying with the terms of this Agreement, to enter into a binding written agreement concerning a transaction that constitutes a Superior Proposal and MNHN delivers to PBB and Fund Manager written notice to that effect, setting forth the material terms and conditions of the Superior Proposal, indicating that it intends to enter into such an agreement and (iii) PBB does not make, within ten Business Days of receipt of such notice, a proposal or offer that the Board of Directors of MNHN concludes in good faith (after consultation with MNHN's financial advisor) is no less favorable, from a financial point of view, to the shareholders of MNHN as the Superior Proposal; provided, however, that such termination shall not be effective until MNHN has made payment to PBB of the amount required to be paid pursuant to Section 7.02(d). A "Superior Proposal" means a written bona fide offer made by a third party prior to receipt of the Requisite Shareholder Approval to consummate an Acquisition Proposal that the Board of Directors of MNHN determines, in its good faith judgment (after consultation with MNHN's financial advisor), (i) to be more favorable to MNHN shareholders from a financial point of view than the transactions contemplated hereby, (ii) to be reasonably likely to be consummated, taking into account all legal, financial and regulatory aspects of the proposal, and (iii) involves the acquisition of all of the shares of MNHN Common Stock.

(ii) By PBB or Fund Manager, if a Superior Proposal is made by a third party after the date hereof.

(g) In the event a party elects to effect any termination pursuant to Section 7.01(b) through 7.01(f) above, it shall give written notice to the other party hereto specifying the basis for such termination and certifying that such termination has been approved by the vote of a majority of the members of its Board of Directors or, in the case of the Fund Manager, its manager or managing member.

FIRST AMENDMENT TO AGREEMENT AND PLAN OF MERGER AND REORGANIZATION

This FIRST AMENDMENT TO AGREEMENT AND PLAN OF MERGER AND REORGANIZATION (this "Amendment"), dated January 18, 2012, is entered into by and among Carpenter Fund Manager GP, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company ("Fund Manager"), Manhattan Bancorp, a California corporation ("MNHN"), Bank of Manhattan, N.A., a national banking association headquartered in El Segundo, California ("Manhattan"), CGB Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation ("CGBH"), and Professional Business Bank, a California chartered commercial bank headquartered in Pasadena, California ("PBB").

RECITALS

A. Fund Manager, MNHN, Manhattan, CGBH and PBB are parties to that certain Agreement and Plan of Merger and Reorganization, dated as of November 21, 2011 (the "Merger Agreement").

B. The Effective Time has not yet occurred.

C. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Amendment, the parties hereto desire to amend the Merger Agreement by entering into this Amendment.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and the mutual covenants hereinafter set forth, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is acknowledged, the parties hereby agree as follows:

1. Definitions. Except as otherwise provided herein, capitalized terms used in this Amendment shall have the definitions set forth in the Merger Agreement.

2. Amendments.

(a) The following is hereby added as Section 2.05(e) of the Merger Agreement:

"(e) No Fractional Shares. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, no certificates or scrip representing fractional shares of MNHN Common Stock shall be issued upon the surrender of certificates representing shares of PBB Common Stock for exchange, no dividend or distribution with respect to MNHN Common Stock shall be payable on or with respect to any fractional share, and such fractional share interests shall not entitle the owner thereof to vote or to any other rights of a shareholder of MNHN. In lieu of the issuance of any such fractional share, MNHN shall pay to each former shareholder of PBB who otherwise would be entitled to receive such fractional share, an amount in cash (rounded to the nearest whole cent) determined by multiplying (i) the Book Value Per Share of MNHN Common Stock as of the Determination Date by (ii) the fraction of a share (after taking into account all shares of PBB Common Stock held by such shareholder at the Effective Time and rounded to the nearest one ten-thousandth when expressed in decimal form) of MNHN Common Stock to which such shareholder would otherwise be entitled to receive pursuant to Section 2.05(a). The parties acknowledge that payment of the cash consideration in lieu of issuing fractional shares was not separately bargained-for consideration but merely represents a mechanical rounding off for purposes of avoiding the expense and inconvenience that would otherwise be caused by the issuance of fractional shares."

3. Terms of Agreement. Except as expressly modified hereby, all terms, conditions and provisions of the Merger Agreement shall continue in full force and effect.

4. Conflicting Terms. In the event of any inconsistency or conflict between the Merger Agreement and this Amendment, the terms, conditions and provisions of this Amendment shall govern and control.

5. Entire Agreement. This Amendment and the Merger Agreement constitute the entire and exclusive agreement between the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof. All previous

discussions and agreements with respect to this subject matter are superseded by the Merger Agreement and this Amendment. This Amendment may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to constitute an original.

Board of Directors
Manhattan Bancorp
2141 Rosecrans Avenue
Suite 1160
El Segundo, CA 90245

Ladies and Gentlemen:

Bank of Manhattan, N.A., ("Bank of Manhattan"), Manhattan Bancorp ("MNHN") and Professional Business Bank ("PBB"), CGB Holdings, Inc., the bank holding company of PBB ("CGBH"), Carpenter Fund Manager GP, LLC, as general partner of Carpenter Community BancFund, L.P., Carpenter Community BancFund-A, L.P. and Carpenter Community BancFund-CA, L.P. (collectively, the "Funds") have entered into a definitive merger agreement dated November 21, 2011 pursuant to which PBB will merge into Bank of Manhattan, with Bank of Manhattan as the surviving entity (the "Merger"). Pursuant to the terms of the merger, each share of PBB common stock will be exchanged for a number of shares of MNHN common stock having a Book Value equal to the Book Value Per Share of PBB common stock acquired as of the end of the month preceding the month in which the closing of the Merger. Based on the Book Values of MNHN common stock and PBB common stock at September 30, 2011, each share of PBB common stock will be exchanged for 1.5740 shares of MNHN common stock (the "Exchange Ratio"). After the Merger, the former PBB shareholders will own approximately 36% of MNHN. You have advised us that prior to the Merger, the Funds, which constitute, on a combined basis, the largest shareholder group of both MNHN and CGBH, beneficially own approximately 100% of the outstanding shares of CGBH and approximately 44% of the outstanding shares of MNHN. The other terms and conditions of the Merger are more fully set forth in the Agreement, and capitalized terms used herein without definition shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Agreement. You have requested our opinion as to the fairness, from a financial point of view, of the Exchange Ratio to the holders of MNHN common stock.

Sandler O'Neill & Partners, L.P., as part of its investment banking business, is regularly engaged in the valuation of financial institutions and their securities in connection with mergers and acquisitions and other corporate transactions. In connection with this opinion, we have reviewed, among other things: (i) the Agreement; (ii) certain publicly available financial statements and other historical financial information of MNHN that we deemed relevant; (iii) certain publicly available financial statements and other historical financial information of PBB that we deemed relevant; (iv) internal financial projections for MNHN for the years ending December 31, 2011 through December 31, 2016 as prepared by and discussed with senior management of MNHN; (v) internal financial projections for PBB for the years ending December 31, 2011 through December 31, 2016 as prepared by and discussed with senior management of PBB; (vi) the publicly reported historical price and trading activity for MNHN's common stock, including a comparison of certain financial and stock market information for the MNHN and PBB with similar publicly available information for certain other commercial banks, the securities of which are publicly traded; (vii) (viii) the current market environment generally and in the commercial banking sector in particular; (ix) such other information, financial studies, analyses and investigations and financial, economic and market criteria as we considered relevant. We also discussed with certain members of senior management of the MNHN the business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects of MNHN and held similar discussions with senior management of PBB concerning the business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects of PBB.

In performing our review, we have relied upon the accuracy and completeness of all of the financial and other information that was available to us from public sources, that was provided to us by MNHN and PBB or that was otherwise reviewed by us and have assumed such accuracy and completeness for purposes of preparing this letter. We have further relied on the assurances of the

respective managements of MNHN and PBB that they are not aware of any facts or circumstances that would make any of such information inaccurate or misleading. We did not make an independent evaluation or appraisal of the specific assets, the collateral securing assets or the liabilities (contingent or otherwise) of MNHN and PBB or any of their respective subsidiaries. We did not make an independent evaluation of the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses of MNHN and PBB or the combined entity after the Merger and we have we not reviewed any individual credit files relating to MNHN and PBB. We have assumed, with your consent, that the respective allowances for loan losses for both MNHN and PBB are adequate to cover such losses and will be adequate on a pro forma basis for the combined entity.

We have assumed that there has been no material change in the respective assets, financial condition, results of operations, business or prospects of MNHN or PBB since the date of the most recent financial data made available to us. We have also assumed in all respects material to our analysis that MNHN and PBB will remain as a going concern for all periods relevant to our analyses. We express no opinion as to any of the legal, accounting and tax matters relating to the Merger and any other transactions contemplated in connection therewith.

Our analyses and the views expressed herein are necessarily based on financial, economic, regulatory, market and other conditions as in effect on, and the information made available to us as of, the date hereof. Events occurring after the date hereof could materially affect our views. We have not undertaken to update, revise, reaffirm or withdraw this letter or otherwise comment upon events occurring after the date hereof. We are expressing no opinion herein as to what the value of MNHN's common stock will be when issued to PBB's shareholders or the prices at which MNHN's and PBB's securities may trade at any time.

We will receive a fee from the Company for providing this opinion and for acting as the Company's financial advisor in connection with the Merger. MNHN has also agreed to indemnify us against certain liabilities arising out of our engagement. In the ordinary course of our business as a broker-dealer, we may purchase securities from and sell securities to MNHN and PBB and their affiliates. We may also actively trade the equity or debt securities of MNHN and PBB or their affiliates for our own account and for the accounts of our customers and, accordingly, may at any time hold a long or short position in such securities.

This letter is directed to the Board of Directors of MNHN in connection with its consideration of the Merger and does not constitute a recommendation to any shareholder of MNHN as to how such shareholder should vote at any meeting of shareholders called to consider and vote upon the Merger. Our opinion is directed only to the fairness, from a financial point of view, of the Exchange Ratio to holders of MNHN common stock and does not address the underlying business decision of MNHN to engage in the Merger, the relative merits of the Merger as compared to any other alternative business strategies that might exist for MNHN or the effect of any other transaction in which MNHN might engage. This opinion shall not be reproduced or used for used for any other purposes, without Sandler O'Neill's prior written consent. This Opinion has been approved by Sandler O'Neill's fairness opinion committee. We do not express any opinion as to the fairness of the amount or nature of the compensation to be received in the Merger by MNHN's officers, directors, or employees, or class of such persons, relative to the compensation to be received in the Merger by any other shareholders of MNHN.

Based upon and subject to the foregoing, it is our opinion that, as of the date hereof, the Exchange Ratio is fair to the holders of MNHN common stock from a financial point of view.

Very truly yours,


		/s/ Sandler O'Neill & Partners, L.P. Sandler O'Neill & Partners, L.P.

Annex C

November 21, 2011

Board of Directors
Professional Business Bank
2700 East Foothill Boulevard, Suite 200
Pasadena, CA 91107

Members of the Board:

It is our understanding that Professional Business Bank ("PBB", or the "Company") is considering entering into an Agreement and Plan of Merger and Reorganization ("Agreement") with Bank of Manhattan, National Association ("Manhattan"), a wholly owned subsidiary of Manhattan Bancorp ("MNHN", or the "Partner"), pursuant to which the Company would merge into Manhattan (the "Merger"). Upon consummation of the Merger, each outstanding share of Company common stock, and common stock equivalents, shall be converted into the right to receive shares of MNHN common stock (the "Exchange Ratio"). The Exchange Ratio shall be determined so that each share of PBB common stock shall be converted into the right to receive a number of shares of MNHN common stock with an aggregate book value per share of the MNHN common stock equal to the book value per share of the PBB common stock as of the last day of the month preceding the month in which the closing date occurs (the "Determination Date"). Using financial data as of September 30, 2011, this equates to an Exchange Ratio of 1.574 shares of MNHN common stock received per share of PBB common stock. The transaction is structured as a tax-free 100% stock exchange and the terms and conditions of the Merger are more fully set forth in the Agreement and capitalized terms used but not defined herein have the meanings ascribed to them in the Agreement. You have requested our opinion as to the fairness, from a financial point of view, of the Exchange Ratio to the holders of PBB common stock.

In arriving at our opinion, we reviewed: (i) a draft of the Agreement dated November 21, 2011, and exhibits thereto; (ii) certain financial statements and other historical financial and business information about the Company made available to us from published sources and/or from the internal records of the Company; (iii) the financial terms of certain other similar mergers; (iv) the relative contributions of the Company and the Partner to the combined company; (v) the publicly reported historical price and trading activity for the Partner's common stock; (vi) the pro forma financial impact of the Merger, taking into consideration the amounts and timing of the cost savings which the managements of Company and Partner estimate will result from the Merger; (vii) the current market environment generally and the banking industry environment in particular; and (viii) such other information, financial studies, analyses and investigations and financial, economic and market criteria as we considered relevant. In addition, we have had discussions with the management and other representatives and advisors of the Company and the Partner concerning the business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects of the Company and the Partner.

In arriving at our opinion, we have assumed and relied upon the accuracy and completeness of all information supplied or otherwise made available to us, discussed with or reviewed by or for us, or publicly available, and we have not assumed responsibility for independently verifying such information of the Company or the Partner, nor have we been furnished any such evaluation or appraisal. In addition, we have not assumed any obligation to conduct, nor have we conducted, any physical inspection of the properties or facilities of the Company or the Partner. We have further relied on the

11150 Santa Monica Blvd., Suite 350 Los Angeles, CA 90025 ~ (310) 500-3860 ~ FAX (310) 500-3861

assurances of the senior management of each of Company and the Partner that they are not aware of any facts or circumstances that would make any of such information inaccurate or misleading. We have not been asked to undertake, and have not undertaken, an independent verification of any of such information and we do not assume any responsibility or liability for the accuracy or completeness thereof. We did not make an independent evaluation or appraisal of the specific assets or liabilities including the amount of any loan, investment or other FASB141(R) mark, the collateral securing assets or the liabilities (contingent or otherwise), or the collectability of any such assets, nor have we been furnished with any such evaluations or appraisals. We did not make an independent evaluation of the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses of the Company or the Partner nor have we reviewed any individual credit files relating to the Company or the Partner and we express no opinion on the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses of the Company or the Partner. Additionally, we did not make any independent evaluation of the amounts or timing of the cost savings identified to be realized as a result of the merger. Further, we are using guidance from management in respect to the balance of deferred tax asset(s) of the Company and the Partner and we are not expressing an opinion nor did we independently verify the survivability of the deferred tax asset(s) as it relates to the Merger. We assume there has been no material change in Company or Partner's assets, financial condition, results of operations, business or prospects since the date of the most recent financial statements provided to us.

We have also assumed in all respects material to our analysis that all of the representations and warranties contained in the Agreement and all related agreements are true and correct, that each party to such agreements will perform all of the covenants required to be performed by such party under such agreements and that the conditions precedent in the Agreement are not waived. We assume that there were no material changes to the Agreement from the draft Agreement on November 21, 2011 to the final executed Agreement. In addition, we have assumed that in the course of obtaining necessary regulatory or other consents or approvals (contractual or otherwise) for the Transaction, no further modifications, including any divestiture requirements or amendments, will be imposed that will have a material adverse affect on the contemplated benefits of the Transaction. We have also assumed that the transaction will qualify as a tax-free reorganization.

Our opinion is necessarily based on financial, economic, market and other conditions as in effect on, and the information made available to us as of, the date hereof. Events occurring after the date hereof could materially affect this opinion.

We will receive a fee for our services in connection with rendering this opinion. In the ordinary course of business as a broker-dealer, we may actively trade or hold securities of MNHN for our own account or for the accounts of our customers and, accordingly, may at any time hold a long or short position in such securities.

Our opinion is directed only to the fairness, from a financial point of view, of the Exchange Ratio to shareholders of PBB common stock and does not address the underlying business decision of PBB to undertake the Merger. We express no opinion as to the relative merits of the Merger as compared to any other alternative business strategies or transaction that might exist for PBB or the effect of any other strategic or financial transaction in which PBB might engage. This opinion has been approved by D.A. Davidson & Co.'s fairness opinion committee. We do not express any opinion as to the fairness of the amount or nature of the compensation to be received in the Merger or in any other related transaction by any officer, director, or employee, or class of such persons, relative to the compensation to be received in the Merger by any other shareholder.

Based upon and subject to the foregoing, it is our opinion that, as of the date hereof, the proposed Exchange Ratio is fair, from a financial point of view, to the shareholders of the Company. This fairness opinion was reviewed and approved by a D.A. Davidson Fairness Opinion Committee.

It is understood that this letter is for the information of the Board of Directors of the Company in connection with its consideration of the Merger and is not intended to be and does not constitute a recommendation of the Merger to the Company or its shareholders, nor does it constitute a recommendation to any shareholder as to how such shareholder should vote on any matter relating to the Merger. This letter is not to be quoted or referred to, in whole or in part, in any statement or document, nor shall this letter be used for any other purposes, without our prior written consent, which consent is hereby given to the inclusion of this letter in a proxy or other document filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission and bank regulatory agencies in connection with the Merger.

CALIFORNIA GENERAL CORPORATION LAW
CHAPTER 13: DISSENTERS' RIGHTS

Section 1300. Shareholder in short-form merger; Purchase at fair market value; "Dissenting shares"; "Dissenting shareholder"

(a) If the approval of the outstanding shares (Section 152) of a corporation is required for a reorganization under subdivisions (a) and (b) or subdivision (e) or (f) of Section 1201, each shareholder of the corporation entitled to vote on the transaction and each shareholder of a subsidiary corporation in a short-form merger may, by complying with this chapter, require the corporation in which the shareholder holds shares to purchase for cash at their fair market value the shares owned by the shareholder which are dissenting shares as defined in subdivision (b). The fair market value shall be determined as of the day before the first announcement of the terms of the proposed reorganization or short-form merger, excluding any appreciation or depreciation in consequence of the proposed action, but adjusted for any stock split, reverse stock split, or share dividend which becomes effective thereafter.

(b) As used in this chapter, "dissenting shares" means shares which come within all of the following descriptions:

(1) Which were not immediately prior to the reorganization or short-form merger listed on any national securities exchange certified by the Commissioner of Corporations under subdivision (o) of Section 25100, and the notice of meeting of shareholders to act upon the reorganization summarizes this section and Sections 1301, 1302, 1303 and 1304; provided, however, that this provision does not apply to any shares with respect to which there exists any restriction on transfer imposed by the corporation or by any law or regulation; and provided, further, that this provision does not apply to any class of shares if demands for payment are filed with respect to 5 percent or more of the outstanding shares of that class.

(2) Which were outstanding on the date for the determination of shareholders entitled to vote on the reorganization and (A) were not voted in favor of the reorganization or, (B) if described in paragraph (1) (without regard to the provisos in that paragraph), were voted against the reorganization, or were held of record on the effective date of a short-form merger; provided, however, that subparagraph (A) rather than subparagraph (B) of this paragraph applies in any case where the approval required by Section 1201 is sought by written consent rather than at a meeting.

(3) Which the dissenting shareholder has demanded that the corporation purchase at their fair market value, in accordance with Section 1301.

(4) Which the dissenting shareholder has submitted for endorsement, in accordance with Section 1302.

(c) As used in this chapter, "dissenting shareholder" means the recordholder of dissenting shares and includes a transferee of record.

Section 1301. Notice to holder of dissenting shares of reorganization approval; Demand for purchase of shares; Contents of demand

(a) If, in the case of a reorganization, any shareholders of a corporation have a right under Section 1300, subject to compliance with paragraphs (3) and (4) of subdivision (b) thereof, to require the corporation to purchase their shares for cash, that corporation shall mail to each such shareholder a notice of the approval of the reorganization by its outstanding shares (Section 152) within 10 days after the date of that approval, accompanied by a copy of Sections 1300, 1302, 1303, and 1304 and this section, a statement of the price determined by the corporation to represent the fair market value of the dissenting shares, and a brief description of the procedure to be followed if the shareholder desires to exercise the shareholder's right under those sections. The statement of price constitutes an offer by

Table of Contents

the corporation to purchase at the price stated any dissenting shares as defined in subdivision (b) of Section 1300, unless they lose their status as dissenting shares under Section 1309.

(b) Any shareholder who has a right to require the corporation to purchase the shareholder's shares for cash under Section 1300, subject to compliance with paragraphs (3) and (4) of subdivision (b) thereof, and who desires the corporation to purchase shares shall make written demand upon the corporation for the purchase of those shares and payment to the shareholder in cash of their fair market value. The demand is not effective for any purpose unless it is received by the corporation or any transfer agent thereof (1) in the case of shares described subdivision (b) of Section 1300 (without regard to the provisos in that paragraph), not later than the date of the shareholders' meeting to vote upon the reorganization, or (2) in any other case within 30 days after the date on which the notice of the approval by the outstanding shares pursuant to subdivision (a) or the notice pursuant to subdivision (i) of Section 1110 was mailed to the shareholder.

(c) The demand shall state the number and class of the shares held of record by the shareholder which the shareholder demands that the corporation purchase and shall contain a statement of what that shareholder claims to be the fair market value of those shares as of the day before the announcement of the proposed reorganization or short-form merger. The statement of fair market value constitutes an offer by the shareholder to sell the shares at that price.

Section 1302. Stamping or endorsing dissenting shares

Within 30 days after the date on which notice of the approval by the outstanding shares or the notice pursuant to subdivision (i) of Section 1110 was mailed to the shareholder, the shareholder shall submit to the corporation at its principal office or at the office of any transfer agent thereof, (a) if the shares are certificated securities, the shareholder's certificates representing any shares which the shareholder demands that the corporation purchase, to be stamped or endorsed with a statement that the shares are dissenting shares or to be exchanged for certificates of appropriate denomination so stamped or endorsed or (b) if the shares are uncertificated securities, written notice of the number of shares which the shareholder demands that the corporation purchase. Upon subsequent transfers of the dissenting shares on the books of the corporation, the new certificates, initial transaction statement, and other written statements issued therefor shall bear a like statement, together with the name of the original dissenting holder of the shares.

Section 1303. Dissenting shareholder entitled to agreed price with interest thereon; When price to be paid

(a) If the corporation and the shareholder agree that the shares are dissenting shares and agree upon the price of the shares, the dissenting shareholder is entitled to the agreed price with interest thereon at the legal rate on judgments from the date of the agreement. Any agreements fixing the fair market value of any dissenting shares as between the corporation and the holders thereof shall be filed with the secretary of the corporation.

(b) Subject to the provisions of Section 1306, payment of the fair market value of dissenting shares shall be made within 30 days after the amount thereof has been agreed or within 30 days after any statutory or contractual conditions to the reorganization are satisfied, whichever is later, and in the case of certificated securities, subject to surrender of the certificates therefor, unless provided otherwise by agreement.

Section 1304. Action by dissenters to determine whether shares are dissenting shares or fair market value of dissenting shares or both; Joinder of shareholders; Consolidation of actions; Determination of issues; Appointment of appraisers

(a) If the corporation denies that the shares are dissenting shares, or the corporation and the shareholder fail to agree upon the fair market value of the shares, then the shareholder demanding purchase of such shares as dissenting shares or any interested corporation, within six months after the date on which notice of the approval by the outstanding shares (Section 152) or notice pursuant to subdivision (i) of Section 1110 was mailed to the shareholder, but not thereafter, may file a complaint in the superior court of the proper county praying the court to determine whether the shares are dissenting shares or the fair market value of the dissenting shares or both or may intervene in any action pending on such a complaint.

(b) Two or more dissenting shareholders may join as plaintiffs or be joined as defendants in any such action and two or more such actions may be consolidated.

(c) On the trial of the action, the court shall determine the issues. If the status of the shares as dissenting shares is in issue, the court shall first determine that issue. If the fair market value of the dissenting shares is in issue, the court shall determine, or shall appoint one or more impartial appraisers to determine, the fair market value of the shares.

Section 1305. Duty and report of appraisers; Court's confirmation of report; Determination of fair market value by court; Judgment and payment; Appeal; Costs of action

(a) If the court appoints an appraiser or appraisers, they shall proceed forthwith to determine the fair market value per share. Within the time fixed by the court, the appraisers, or a majority of them, shall make and file a report in the office of the clerk of the court. Thereupon, on the motion of any party, the report shall be submitted to the court and considered on such evidence as the court considers relevant. If the court finds the report reasonable, the court may confirm it.

(b) If a majority of the appraisers appointed fail to make and file a report within 10 days from the date of their appointment or within such further time as may be allowed by the court or the report is not confirmed by the court, the court shall determine the fair market value of the dissenting shares.

(c) Subject to the provisions of Section 1306, judgment shall be rendered against the corporation for payment of an amount equal to the fair market value of each dissenting share multiplied by the number of dissenting shares which any dissenting shareholder who is a party, or who has intervened, is entitled to require the corporation to purchase, with interest thereon at the legal rate from the date on which judgment was entered.

(d) Any such judgment shall be payable forthwith with respect to uncertificated securities and, with respect to certificated securities, only upon the endorsement and delivery to the corporation of the certificates for the shares described in the judgment. Any party may appeal from the judgment.

(e) The costs of the action, including reasonable compensation to the appraisers to be fixed by the court, shall be assessed or apportioned as the court considers equitable, but, if the appraisal exceeds the price offered by the corporation, the corporation shall pay the costs (including in the discretion of the court attorneys' fees, fees of expert witnesses and interest at the legal rate on judgments from the date of compliance with Sections 1300, 1301 and 1302 if the value awarded by the court for the shares is more than 125 percent of the price offered by the corporation under subdivision (a) of Section 1301).

(b) The shares are transferred prior to their submission for endorsement in accordance with Section 1302 or are surrendered for conversion into shares of another class in accordance with the articles.

(c) The dissenting shareholder and the corporation do not agree upon the status of the shares as dissenting shares or upon the purchase price of the shares, and neither files a complaint or intervenes in a pending action as provided in Section 1304, within six months after the date on which notice of the approval by the outstanding shares or notice pursuant to subdivision (i) of Section 1110 was mailed to the shareholder.

(d) The dissenting shareholder, with the consent of the corporation, withdraws the shareholder's demand for purchase of the dissenting shares.

Section 1310. Suspension of proceedings for compensation or valuation pending litigation

Section 1311. Shares to which chapter inapplicable

This chapter, except Section 1312, does not apply to classes of shares whose terms and provisions specifically set forth the amount to be paid in respect to such shares in the event of a reorganization or merger.

Section 1312. Attack on validity of reorganization or short-form merger; Rights of shareholders; Burden of proof

(a) No shareholder of a corporation who has a right under this chapter to demand payment of cash for the shares held by the shareholder shall have any right at law or in equity to attack the validity of the reorganization or short-form merger, or to have the reorganization or short-form merger set aside or rescinded, except in an action to test whether the number of shares required to authorize or approve the reorganization have been legally voted in favor thereof; but any holder of shares of a class whose terms and provisions specifically set forth the amount to be paid in respect to them in the event of a reorganization or short-form merger is entitled to payment in accordance with those terms and provisions or, if the principal terms of the reorganization are approved pursuant to subdivision (b) of Section 1202, is entitled to payment in accordance with the terms and provisions of the approved reorganization.

(b) If one of the parties to a reorganization or short-form merger is directly or indirectly controlled by, or under common control with, another party to the reorganization or short-form merger, subdivision (a) shall not apply to any shareholder of such party who has not demanded payment of cash for such shareholder's shares pursuant to this chapter; but if the shareholder institutes any action to attack the validity of the reorganization or short-form merger or to have the reorganization or short-form merger set aside or rescinded, the shareholder shall not thereafter have any right to demand payment of cash for the shareholder's shares pursuant to this chapter. The court in any action attacking the validity of the reorganization or short-form merger or to have the reorganization or short-form merger set aside or rescinded shall not restrain or enjoin the consummation of the transaction except upon 10 days' prior notice to the corporation and upon a determination by the court that clearly no other remedy will adequately protect the complaining shareholder or the class of shareholders of which such shareholder is a member.

(c) If one of the parties to a reorganization or short-form merger is directly or indirectly controlled by, or under common control with, another party to the reorganization or short-form merger, in any action to attack the validity of the reorganization or short-form merger or to have the reorganization or short-form merger set aside or rescinded, (1) a party to a reorganization or short-form merger which controls another party to the reorganization or short-form merger shall have the burden of proving that the transaction is just and reasonable as to the shareholders of the controlled party, and (2) a person who controls two or more parties to a reorganization shall have the burden of proving that the transaction is just and reasonable as to the shareholders of any party so controlled.

Section 1313. Conversion deemed to constitute reorganization for purposes of chapter

A conversion pursuant to Chapter 11.5 (commencing with Section 1150) shall be deemed to constitute a reorganization for purposes of applying the provisions of this chapter, in accordance with and to the extent provided in Section 1159.

INFORMATION NOT REQUIRED IN PROSPECTUS

Item 20. Indemnification of Directors and Officers

Section 317 of the CGCL authorizes a court to award, or a corporation's board of directors to grant, indemnity to directors and officers who are parties or are threatened to be made parties to any proceeding (with certain exceptions) by reason of the fact that the person is or was an agent of the corporation, against expenses, judgments, fines, settlements and other amounts actually and reasonably incurred in connection with the proceeding if that person acted in good faith and in a manner the person reasonably believed to be in the best interests of the corporation.

Article Sixth of Manhattan Bancorp's articles of incorporation authorizes Manhattan Bancorp to provide for indemnification of officers and directors in excess of the indemnification otherwise permitted by Section 317 of the CGCL, subject to the limits on such excess indemnification set forth in Section 204 of the CGCL. Section 4.7 of Manhattan Bancorp's bylaws authorize Manhattan Bancorp to provide for indemnification of officers and directors to the fullest extent possible by the provisions of the CGCL. This indemnification limits the personal monetary liability of directors in performing their duties on behalf of Manhattan Bancorp, to the extent permitted by the CGCL, and permits Manhattan Bancorp to indemnify its directors and officers against certain liabilities and expenses, to the extent permitted by the CGCL. In addition, Manhattan Bancorp maintains a directors' and officers' liability insurance policy that insures its directors and officers against certain liabilities, including certain liabilities under the Securities Act.

Additionally, Manhattan Bancorp has entered into indemnification agreements (each, an "Indemnification Agreement") with each of its directors and senior executive officers (each an "Indemnitee"). The Indemnification Agreements provide each of the Indemnitees with, among other things, indemnification against liabilities relating to their service as directors and officers of Manhattan Bancorp and the advancement of expenses under certain circumstances, in each case to the fullest extent permitted by law.

The foregoing summaries are necessarily subject to the complete text of the CGCL, Manhattan Bancorp's articles of incorporation and bylaws and the agreements referred to above, and are qualified in their entirety by reference thereto.

Item 22. Undertakings

(a)

The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes as follows:

(1)

To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement:

(i): To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933.
(ii): To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) that, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the SEC pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than a 20 percent change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the "Calculation of Registration Fee" table in the effective registration statement.
(iii): To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such information in the registration statement.

(2)

That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

(3)

To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered that remain unsold at the termination of the offering.

(b)

For purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the registrant's annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan's annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act) that is incorporated by reference into the registration statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

(c)

(1) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes as follows: that prior to any public re-offering of the securities registered hereunder through use of a prospectus which is a part of this registration statement, by any person or party who is deemed to be an underwriter within the meaning of Rule 145(c), the issuer undertakes that such re-offering prospectus will contain the information called for by the applicable registration form with respect to re-offerings by

II-4

Table of Contents

persons who may be deemed underwriters, in addition to the information called for by the other items of the applicable form.

(2): The registrant undertakes that every prospectus: (i) that is filed pursuant to paragraph (1) immediately preceding, or (ii) that purports to meet the requirements of section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933 and is used in connection with an offering of securities subject to Rule 415, will be filed as a part of an amendment to the registration statement and will not be used until such amendment is effective, and that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

(d): Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the provisions described in Item 20 above, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
(e): The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes to respond to requests for information that is incorporated by reference into the prospectus pursuant to Items 4, 10(b), 11 or 13 of this Form, within one business day of receipt of such request, and to send the incorporated documents by first class mail or other equally prompt means. This includes information contained in documents filed subsequent to the effective date of the registration statement through the date of responding to the request.
(f): The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes to supply by means of a post-effective amendment all information concerning a transaction, and the company being acquired involved therein, that was not the subject of and included in the registration statement when it became effective.
