These forward‐looking statements reflect our current views with respect to, among other things, future events and our results of operations, financial condition and financial performance.

These forward‐looking statements are not historical facts, and are based on current expectations, estimates and projections about our industry, management’s beliefs and certain assumptions made by management, many of which, by their nature, are inherently uncertain and beyond our control. Accordingly, we caution you that any such forward‐ looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and are subject to risks, assumptions and uncertainties that are difficult to predict. Although we believe that the expectations reflected in these forward‐looking statements are reasonable as of the date made, actual results may prove to be materially different from the results expressed or implied by the forward‐looking statements. Such factors include, without limitation, the “Risk Factors” referenced in our Annual Report on Form 10‐K for the year ended December 31, 2018 and other reports we file with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). The risks and uncertainties listed from time to time in our reports and documents filed with the SEC are the following factors: business and economic conditions generally and in the financial services industry, nationally and within our current and future geographic market areas; economic, market, operational, liquidity, credit and interest rate risks associated with our business; the occurrence of significant natural or man‐made disasters, including fires, earthquakes, and terrorist acts; our management of risks inherent in our real estate loan portfolio, and the risk of a prolonged downturn in the real estate market; our ability to achieve organic loan and deposit growthandthecompositionofsuchgrowth; the fiscal position of the U.S federal government and the soundness of other financial institutions; changes in consumer spending and savings habits; technological and social media changes; the laws and regulations applicable to our business; increased competition in the financial services industry; changes in the level of our nonperforming assets and charge‐offs; uncertainty regarding the future of LIBOR; our involvement from time to time in legal proceedings and examination and remedial actions by regulators; the composition of our management team and our ability to attract and retain key personnel; material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting; systems failures or interruptions involving our information technology and telecommunications systems; and potential exposure to fraud, negligence, computer theft and cyber‐crime.

Use of Non‐GAAP Financial Measures This investor presentation contains certain financial measures that are not measures recognized under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) and therefore, are considered non‐GAAP financial measures. The Company’s management uses these non‐GAAP financial measures in their analysis of the Company’s performance, financial condition and the efficiency of its operations. Management believes that these non‐GAAP financial measures provide a greater understanding of ongoing operations and enhance comparability of results with prior periods as well as demonstrate the effects of significant changes in the current period. The Company’s management also believes that investors find these non‐GAAP financial measures useful as they assist investors in understanding our underlying operating performance and the analysis of ongoing operating trends. However, the non‐GAAP financial measures discussed herein should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the most directly comparable or other financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP. Moreover, the manner in which we calculate the non‐GAAP financial measures discussed herein may differ from thatofothercompanies reporting measures with similar names. You should understand how such other banking organizations calculate their similar financial measures or with names similar to the non‐ GAAP financial measures we have discussed herein when comparing such non‐GAAP financial measures. Below is a listing of the non‐GAAP financial measures used in this investor presentation. • Pro forma items include provision for income taxes, net income, return on average assets, return on average equity and earnings per share. Prior to January 1, 2018, these pro forma amounts are calculated by adding back our franchise S‐Corporation tax to net income, and using a combined C‐Corporation effective tax rate for Federal and California income taxes of 42.0%. This calculation reflects only the changes in our status as a S‐Corporation and does not give effect to any other transaction. • Efficiency ratio is defined as noninterest expenses divided by operating revenue, which is equal to net interest income plus noninterest income. • Tangible book value and tangible stockholders’ equity to tangible assets are non‐GAAP measures that exclude the impact of goodwill and are used by the Company’s management to evaluate capital adequacy. Because intangible assets such as goodwill vary extensively from company to company, we believe that the presentation of these non‐GAAP financial measures allows investors to more easily compare the Company’s capital position to other companies. A reconciliation to these non‐GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measures are provided in the appendix to this investor presentation. 3
