Item 8.01  Other Events.

 

On or about May 2, 2005, three officers of First Regional Bancorp entered into pre-arranged stock trading plans to sell a limited number of shares of First Regional Bancorp common stock pursuant to Rule 10b5-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.  These officers are Jack A. Sweeney, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, H. Anthony Gartshore, President, and Steven J. Sweeney, General Counsel.  The 10b5-1 plans were adopted during an open trading window under the Company’s policy regarding insider trading, and provide for the sale of a limited number of First Regional shares in accordance with the applicable terms and conditions set forth in the plans.  The purpose of such stock sales is for personal investments, including real estate acquisition and/or improvement.

 

Rule 10b5-1 allows corporate insiders to enter into pre-arranged stock trading plans when they are not in possession of material non-public information about their company.  Accordingly, such 10b5-1 plans allow insiders to diversify their holdings and to minimize the market impact of stock sales by spreading them out over time.  All sales of stock pursuant to such plans will be publicly disclosed in filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

 

This report includes “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.  All statements, other than statements of historical fact, included herein may constitute forward-looking statements.  Although First Regional believes that the expectations reflected in such forward-looking statements are reasonable, it can give no assurance that such expectations will prove to be correct.  Important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from First Regional’s expectations include fluctuations in interest rates, inflation, government regulations, and economic conditions and competition in the geographic and business areas in which First Regional conducts its operations.
