NOTE 1. ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Banc of California, Inc., a Maryland corporation, was incorporated in March 2002 and serves as the holding company for its wholly owned subsidiary, Banc of California (the “Bank”), a California state-chartered bank and member of the FRB. When we refer to the “holding company," we are referring to Banc of California, Inc., the parent company, on a stand-alone basis. When we refer to “we,” “us,” “our,” or the “Company,” we are referring to Banc of California, Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries including the Bank, collectively. As a bank holding company, Banc of California, Inc. is subject to ongoing and comprehensive supervision, regulation, examination, and enforcement by the FRB. As a California state-chartered bank and a member of the FRB, the Bank is subject to ongoing and comprehensive supervision, regulation, examination, and enforcement by the DFPI and the FRB. The Bank is also a member of the FHLB system, and its deposit accounts are insured by the Deposit Insurance Fund (the "DIF") of the FDIC.
Banc of California is one of the nation's premier relationship-based business banks, providing banking and treasury management services to small-, middle-market, and venture-backed businesses. The Bank offers a broad range of loan and deposit products and services through full-service branches throughout California and in Denver, Colorado, and Durham, North Carolina, as well as through regional offices nationwide. The Bank also provides full-stack payment processing solutions through its subsidiary, Deepstack Technologies, LLC. Banc of California also serves the community association management industry nationwide with its technology-forward platform SmartStreet™. The Bank is committed to its local communities by supporting organizations that provide financial literacy and job training, small business support, affordable housing, and more.
We generate our revenue primarily from interest received on loans and leases and, to a lesser extent, from interest received on investment securities, and fees received in connection with deposit services, extending credit and other services offered, including treasury management and investment management services. Our major operating expenses are interest paid by the Bank on deposits and borrowings, compensation expense, customer related expense, information technology and data processing expense, occupancy expense, and general operating expenses.
Significant Accounting Policies
Our accounting policies are described in Note 1. Nature of Operations and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, of our audited consolidated financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024 as filed with the SEC ("Form 10-K").
Recently Issued Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted
In December 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2023-09, "Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures." The standard, among other changes, improves annual income tax disclosures by requiring disaggregated information about a reporting entity’s effective tax rate reconciliation as well as information on income taxes paid. The standard is intended to benefit investors by providing more detailed income tax disclosures that would be useful in making capital allocation decisions. The enhanced income tax disclosure requirements apply on a prospective basis to annual financial statements for periods beginning after December 15, 2024. However, retrospective application in all prior periods presented is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this update on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, "Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses." The standard, among other changes, requires additional disclosure of the nature of expenses included in the income statement in response to longstanding requests from investors for more information about an entity’s expenses. The new standard requires disclosures about specific types of expenses included in the expense captions presented on the face of the income statement as well as disclosures about selling expenses. The prescribed categories include, among other things, employee compensation, depreciation, and intangible asset amortization. In addition, companies will need to provide qualitative description of the amounts remaining in relevant expense captions that are not separately disaggregated quantitatively. In January 2025, the FASB also issued ASU 2025-01, "Income Statement-Reporting Comprehensive Income-Expense Disaggregation Disclosures-Clarifying the Effective Date," which amends the effective date of ASU 2024-03 to clarify that all public business entities are required to adopt the guidance in annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027. The enhanced income statement expense disclosure requirements apply on a prospective basis. However, retrospective application in all prior periods presented is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this update on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
BANC OF CALIFORNIA, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)
In May 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-03, "Business Combinations (Topic 805) and Consolidation (Topic 810): Determining the Accounting Acquirer in the Acquisition of a Variable Interest Entity." The new standard amends the guidance for identifying the accounting acquirer of a variable-interest entity ("VIE") in ASC 805, Business Combinations. Prior to the amendments, the guidance in ASC 805 stipulated that the primary beneficiary of a VIE acquired in a business combination would always be the accounting acquirer. The amendments revise this guidance to require entities to consider the factors in ASC 805-10-55-12 through 55-15 when determining the accounting acquirer in a business combinations that meets both of the following conditions: (1) the transaction is effected primarily by exchanging equity interests; and (2) the legal acquiree is a VIE that meets the definition of a business. This guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026 with early adoption permitted. The amendments are required to be applied prospectively to any acquisition transaction that occurs after the initial application date. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this update on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
Basis of Presentation
The accounting and reporting policies of the Company are in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, which we may refer to as U.S. GAAP. In the opinion of management, all significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated and adjustments, consisting solely of normal recurring accruals and considered necessary for the fair presentation of financial statements, have been included.
The interim condensed consolidated financial statements and notes thereto should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in our Form 10-K.
Use of Estimates
The Company has made a number of estimates and assumptions relating to the reporting of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period to prepare these consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Material estimates subject to change in the near term include, among other items, the allowance for credit losses (the combination of the ALLL and the reserve for unfunded loan commitments), the carrying value of goodwill and other intangible assets, and the realization of deferred tax assets. These estimates may be adjusted as more current information becomes available, and any adjustment may be significant.
NOTE 2. RESTRICTED CASH
The Company is required to maintain reserve balances with the FRBSF. Such reserve requirements are based on a percentage of deposit liabilities and may be satisfied by cash on hand. There were no average reserves required to be held at the FRBSF for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024. The following restricted cash balances are included in "Interest-earning deposits in financial institutions" on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. As of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, we pledged cash collateral for our derivative contracts of $11.6 million and $5.3 million. In connection with the issuance of the credit-linked notes on September 29, 2022, we established a correspondent bank account at a third party financial institution as the collateral account for the credit-linked notes. The repayment of principal on the credit-linked notes is secured by this collateral account, which had a balance of $117.4 million at June 30, 2025 and $119.6 million at December 31, 2024. Starting in the second quarter of 2023, we began to pledge cash to secure the standby letters of credit that we have issued on behalf of our customers. As of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the balance of such restricted cash totaled $39.7 million and $59.3 million.

The securities that were in an unrealized loss position at June 30, 2025, were considered impaired and required further review to determine if the unrealized losses were credit-related. As of June 30, 2025, the Company had recorded an allowance for credit losses on securities available-for-sale of $0.8 million on one corporate debt security. Except for the one corporate debt security noted, we concluded the unrealized losses were a result of the level of market interest rates relative to the types of securities and pricing changes caused by shifting supply and demand dynamics and not a result of downgraded credit ratings or other indicators of deterioration of the underlying issuers' ability to repay. We also considered the seniority of the tranches and U.S. government agency guarantees, if any, to assess whether an unrealized loss was credit-related. Further, we do not currently intend to sell any of the securities in an unrealized loss position and it is not more likely than not the Company will be required to sell these securities before their anticipated recovery. As such, we recognized the unrealized losses in "Accumulated other comprehensive loss, net" of "Stockholders' equity" on the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

CMBS, CMOs, and MBS have contractual maturity dates, but require periodic payments based upon scheduled amortization terms. Actual principal collections on these securities usually occur more rapidly than the scheduled amortization terms because of prepayments made by obligors of the underlying loan collateral.

(1) Excludes accrued interest receivable of $13.4 million at December 31, 2024 which is recorded in "Other assets" on the condensed consolidated balance sheets.
As of June 30, 2025, HTM securities with an amortized cost of $2.2 billion and a fair value of $2.1 billion were pledged as collateral primarily for the FRB secured line of credit and public deposits.
Allowance for Credit Losses on Securities Held-to-Maturity
Credit losses on HTM securities are recorded at the time of purchase, acquisition, or when the Company designates securities as held-to-maturity. Credit losses on HTM securities are representative of current expected credit losses that may be incurred over the life of the investment. Accrued interest receivable on HTM securities, which is included in "Other assets" on the condensed consolidated balance sheets, is excluded from the estimate of expected credit losses. HTM U.S. treasury securities and agency-backed MBS securities are considered to have no risk of loss as they are either explicitly or implicitly guaranteed by the U.S. government. The change in fair value in the HTM private label CMBS portfolio is solely driven by changes in interest rates. The Company has no knowledge of any underlying credit issues and the cash flows underlying the debt securities have not changed and are not expected to be impacted by changes in interest rates and, thus, there is no related ACL for this portfolio. The underlying bonds in the Company’s HTM municipal securities and HTM corporate debt securities portfolios are evaluated for credit losses in conjunction with management’s estimate of the ACL based primarily on credit ratings, and as of June 30, 2025, the Company had recorded an allowance for credit losses on securities held-to-maturity of $0.7 million.
Securities Held-to-Maturity by Credit Quality Indicator
The Company uses S&P, Moody's, Fitch, Kroll, and Egan Jones ratings as the credit quality indicators for its HTM securities. The following tables present our HTM securities portfolio at amortized cost by the lowest available credit rating as of the dates indicated:

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)
It is our policy to discontinue accruing interest when principal or interest payments are past due 90 days or more (unless the loan is both well secured and in the process of collection) or when, in the opinion of management, there is a reasonable doubt as to the collectability of a loan or lease in the normal course of business. Interest income on nonaccrual loans is recognized only to the extent cash is received and the principal balance of the loan is deemed collectable.

Leases Receivable
We provide equipment financing to our customers primarily with operating and direct financing leases. For direct financing leases, lease receivables are recorded on the balance sheet, but the leased equipment is not, although we generally retain legal title to the leased equipment until the end of each lease. Direct financing leases are stated at the net amount of minimum lease payments receivable, plus any unguaranteed residual value, less the amount of unearned income and net acquisition discount at the reporting date. Direct lease origination costs are amortized using the effective interest method over the life of the leases. Direct financing leases are subject to our accounting for ALLL. See Note 7. Leases for information regarding operating leases where we are the lessor.

The allowance for loan and lease losses decreased by $5.6 million in the second quarter of 2025 to $229.3 million compared to the first quarter due primarily to a $38.6 million provision, offset by net charge-offs of $44.2 million. The net charge-offs of $44.2 million included $36.9 million of charge-offs relating to a strategic loan sale process commenced in the second quarter in which $506.7 million of loans were reclassified as held for sale.

NOTE 5. GOODWILL AND OTHER INTANGIBLE ASSETS, NET
Goodwill and other intangible assets arise from the acquisition method of accounting for business combinations. Goodwill and other intangible assets generated from business combinations and deemed to have indefinite lives are not subject to amortization and instead are tested for impairment annually at the reporting unit level unless a triggering event occurs thereby requiring an updated assessment. Our regular annual impairment assessment occurs in the fourth quarter.
Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the net assets and other identifiable intangible assets acquired. Impairment exists when the carrying value of the goodwill exceeds the fair value of the reporting unit. An impairment loss would be recognized in an amount equal to that excess as a charge to "Noninterest expense" in the condensed consolidated statements of earnings.
The following table presents the carrying amount of goodwill as of the dates indicated:

Our other intangible assets with definite lives are CDI and CRI. CDI and CRI are amortized on an accelerated basis over their respective estimated useful lives and reviewed for impairment at least quarterly. The amortization expense represents the estimated decline in the value of the underlying deposits or customer relationships acquired.

NOTE 9. DERIVATIVES
We use derivative instruments and other risk management techniques to reduce our exposure to adverse fluctuations in interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates in accordance with our risk management policies and for certain loan clients to allow them to hedge the risk of rising interest rates and on their variable rate loans.
Our derivatives are carried at fair value and recorded in "Other assets" or "Accrued interest payable and other liabilities," as appropriate, in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. On the date we enter into a derivative contract, the derivative is designated as a fair value hedge, cash flow hedge, or a hedge designation is not made as it is a customer-related transaction. When a derivative is designated as a fair value hedge or cash flow hedge, the Company performs an assessment at inception, and at least quarterly thereafter, to determine the effectiveness of the derivative in offsetting changes in the fair value or cash flows of the hedged items.
The following table presents the U.S. dollar notional amounts and fair values of our derivative instruments included in the condensed consolidated balance sheets as of the dates indicated:

Cash Flow Hedges
Cash flow hedges included pay-fixed, receive-floating interest rate swap contracts with notional amounts aggregating $300.0 million, five-year terms, and varying maturity dates throughout 2028. These swap contracts were entered into with institutional counterparties to hedge against variability in cash flow attributable to interest rate risk on a portion of the Company's borrowings. Cash flow hedges also included interest rate collars, which are option contracts designed to limit the Company's exposure to increases in short term interest rates while foregoing some of the upside if short term interest rates decrease significantly. The interest rate collars have notional amounts aggregating to $1.0 billion, with eighteen month terms, and maturing on October 31, 2026. These collars were entered into with institutional counterparties to hedge against variability in cash flows attributable to interest rate risk on a portion of the Company's floating rate deposits.
The cash flow hedges were deemed highly effective at inception and as of June 30, 2025. For derivatives designated as cash flow hedges, the portion of changes in fair value considered to be highly effective is reported as a component of AOCI on the condensed consolidated balance sheets until the related cash flows from the hedged items are recognized in earnings. As of June 30, 2025, the fair value of the cash flow hedges represented a net liability of $4.4 million, related to which a loss of $4.0 million (net of tax) was included in AOCI. The estimated amount to be reclassified in the next 12 months out of AOCI into earnings is $0.5 million.
Terminated Cash Flow Hedge
The Company terminated all of the pay-fixed, receive floating interest rate swap contracts classified as cash flow hedges with notional amounts of $355.0 million entered into during 2024. At June 30, 2025, we had a pre-tax net loss of $0.2 million deferred in AOCI related to terminated cash flow hedges, which will be fully amortized into interest expense by the third quarter of 2025.

Other Interest Rate Swaps, Foreign Exchange Contracts, and Equity Warrant Assets Not Designated for Hedge Accounting
The Company offers borrowers interest rate swaps under a "back-to-back" loan hedging program and offsets these "pay floating/receive fixed" contracts with borrowers with "receive floating/pay fixed" swaps with counterparty banks. The total notional balance of these offsetting hedging contracts was $154.3 million at June 30, 2025.
The Company has also hedged the interest rate risk and foreign currency risk on €25.8 million of subordinated debt utilizing a combined cross currency swap/interest rate swap, which has had the effect of hedging the foreign currency risk and fixing the Euribor-based floating rate instrument at a fixed rate of 2.76% through July 2025. For the quarter ended June 30, 2025, changes in fair value and fees recorded to "Noninterest income" in the condensed consolidated statements of earnings were immaterial.
See Note 12. Fair Value Measurements for additional information regarding equity warrant assets.
NOTE 10. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
The following table presents a summary of commitments described below as of the dates indicated:
| June 30, | December 31, | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2025 | 2024 | |||
| (In thousands) | ||||
| Loan commitments to extend credit | $ | 4,673,596 | $ | 4,887,690 |
| Standby letters of credit | 207,825 | 201,768 | ||
| Total | $ | 4,881,421 | $ | 5,089,458 |
The Company is a party to financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk in the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of its customers. These financial instruments include commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit. Those instruments involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit risk in excess of the amount recognized in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. The contract or notional amounts of those instruments reflect the extent of involvement that the Company has in particular classes of financial instruments.
Commitments to extend credit are contractual agreements to lend to our customers when customers are in compliance with their contractual credit agreements and when customers have contractual availability to borrow under such agreements. Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses and may require payment of a fee. Since many of the commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements. The estimated exposure to loss from these commitments is included in the reserve for unfunded loan commitments, which amounted to $29.2 million at June 30, 2025 and $29.1 million at December 31, 2024.
Standby letters of credit are conditional commitments issued by the Company to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party. We provide standby letters of credit in conjunction with several of our lending arrangements and property lease obligations. Most guarantees expire within one year from the date of issuance. If a borrower defaults on its commitments subject to any letter of credit issued under these arrangements, we would be required to meet the borrower's financial obligation but would seek repayment of that financial obligation from the borrower. In some cases, borrowers have pledged cash and investment securities as collateral under these arrangements.
In addition, we invest in SBICs that call for capital contributions up to an amount specified in the partnership agreements, and in CRA-related loan pools. As of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, we had commitments to contribute capital to these entities totaling $107.7 million and $79.7 million.

Legal Matters
In the ordinary course of our business, the Company is party to various legal actions, which we believe are incidental to the operation of our business. The outcome of such legal actions and the timing of ultimate resolution are inherently difficult to predict. In the opinion of management, based upon currently available information, any resulting liability, in addition to amounts already accrued, and taking into consideration insurance which may be applicable, would not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial statements or operations. The range of any reasonably possible liabilities is also not significant.

NOTE 11. FAIR VALUE OPTION
The Company may elect to report financial instruments and certain other items at fair value on an instrument-by-instrument basis with changes in fair value reported in earnings. The election is made upon the initial recognition of an eligible financial asset, financial liability, or firm commitment or when certain specified reconsideration events occur. The fair value election may not otherwise be revoked once an election is made. The changes in fair value are recorded in "Noninterest income" on the condensed consolidated statements of earnings. However, movements in debt valuation adjustments are reported as a component of "Accumulated other comprehensive loss, net" on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. Debt valuation adjustments represent the portion of the total change in the fair value of a liability resulting from a change in the instrument-specific credit risk.
Fair Value Option for Certain Debt Liabilities
The Company has elected the fair value option for the credit-linked notes issued in September 2022. The Company elected the fair value option because these exposures are considered to be structured notes, which are financial instruments that contain embedded derivatives. The notes are linked to the credit risk of an approximately $2.3 billion reference pool of previously purchased single-family residential mortgage loans. The principal balance of the credit-linked notes was $117.0 million at June 30, 2025. The carrying value of the credit-linked notes at June 30, 2025 was the estimated fair value of $117.2 million. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, the interest expense on the credit-linked notes totaled $4.5 million and $9.0 million and totaled $5.0 million and $10.0 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, and was recorded in "Interest expense - borrowings" on the condensed consolidated statements of earnings.
The following table presents the changes in fair value of the credit-linked notes for which the fair value option has been elected for the periods indicated:
| Three Months Ended | Six Months Ended | |||||||

NOTE 12. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
The Company uses fair value to measure certain assets and liabilities on a recurring basis, primarily AFS securities, derivatives, and certain debt liabilities. For assets measured at the lower of cost or fair value, the fair value measurement criteria may or may not be met during a reporting period and such measurements are therefore considered “nonrecurring” for purposes of disclosing our fair value measurements. Fair value is used on a nonrecurring basis to adjust carrying values for individually evaluated loans and leases and other real estate owned and also to record impairment on certain assets, such as goodwill, CDI, and other long-lived assets.
For information regarding the valuation methodologies used to measure our assets recorded at fair value (under ASC Topic 820), and for estimating fair value for financial instruments not recorded at fair value (under ASC Topic 825, as amended by ASU 2016-01 and ASU 2018-03), see Note 1. Nature of Operations and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies and Note 15. Fair Value Measurements to the Consolidated Financial Statements of the Company's Form 10-K.
The Company also holds SBIC investments measured at fair value using the NAV per share practical expedient that are not required to be classified in the fair value hierarchy. At June 30, 2025, the fair value of these investments was $115.9 million.
The following tables present information on the assets and liabilities measured and recorded at fair value on a recurring basis as of the dates indicated:

In addition to individually evaluated loans and leases and OREO, loans held for sale are carried at the lower of cost or market and may be measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis when fair value is less than cost. Fair value is based on active bids and other observable market inputs, such as appraised value of the underlying collaterals, adjusted for specific attributes of that loan or other available market data for similar loans. Loans held for sale are classified as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy.

Limitations
Fair value estimates are made at a specific point in time and are based on relevant market information and information about the financial instrument. These estimates do not reflect income taxes or any premium or discount that could result from offering for sale at one time the Company’s entire holdings of a particular financial instrument. Because no market exists for a portion of the Company’s financial instruments, fair value estimates are based on what management believes to be reasonable judgments regarding expected future cash flows, current economic conditions, risk characteristics of various financial instruments, and other factors. These estimated fair values are subjective in nature and involve uncertainties and matters of significant judgment and therefore cannot be determined with precision. Changes in assumptions could significantly affect the estimates. Since the fair values have been estimated as of June 30, 2025, the amounts that will actually be realized or paid at settlement or maturity of the instruments could be significantly different.

NOTE 15. STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY
Stock-Based Compensation
At the special meeting of stockholders held on November 22, 2023, the Company's stockholders approved the Amended and Restated Banc of California, Inc. 2018 Stock Incentive Plan (the “Amended and Restated 2018 Plan”). The Company’s Amended and Restated 2018 Plan permits stock-based compensation awards to officers, directors, employees, and consultants and will remain in effect until November 30, 2033. The Amended and Restated 2018 Plan authorizes grants of stock-based compensation instruments to purchase or issue up to 10,717,882 shares. As of June 30, 2025, there were 3,352,315 shares available for grant under the Amended and Restated 2018 Plan. In addition to the Amended and Restated 2018 Plan, in connection with the November 30, 2023 merger of PacWest Bancorp with and into Banc of California, Inc. (the “Merger”), the Company assumed the Amended and Restated PacWest Bancorp 2017 Stock Incentive Plan (the "PacWest 2017 Plan") with respect to PacWest's outstanding stock-based awards.
Restricted Stock (RSUs, TRSAs, and PSUs)
Restricted stock amortization totaled $6.2 million and $3.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024 and $11.4 million and $8.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024. Such amounts are included in "Compensation expense" on the condensed consolidated statements of earnings. The amount of unrecognized compensation expense related to all unvested RSUs, TRSAs, and PSUs as of June 30, 2025 totaled $55.9 million.
Restricted Stock Units and Time-Based Restricted Stock Awards
At June 30, 2025, there were 2,675,326 shares of unvested RSUs outstanding pursuant to the Amended and Restated 2018 Plan. At June 30, 2025, there were 83,877 shares of unvested TRSAs outstanding pursuant to the PacWest 2017 Plan. The RSUs and TRSAs generally vest over a service period of three or four years from the date of the grant or immediately upon death of an employee. Compensation expense related to RSUs and TRSAs is based on the fair value of the underlying stock on the award date and is recognized over the vesting period using the straight‑line method. TRSAs were assumed by the Company in connection with the Merger and continue to vest in accordance with the original vesting schedule of the awards.
Performance Stock Units
At June 30, 2025, there were 2,426,262 units of unvested PSUs outstanding. Compensation expense related to the PSUs is based on the fair value of the underlying stock on the award date and is amortized over the vesting period using the straight-line method unless it is determined that: (1) attainment of the financial metrics is less than probable, in which case a portion of the amortization is suspended, or (2) attainment of the financial metrics is improbable, in which case a portion of the previously recognized amortization is reversed and also suspended. Annual PSU expense may vary during the performance period based upon changes in management's estimate of the number of shares that may ultimately vest. In the case where the performance target for the PSUs is based on a market condition (such as total shareholder return), the amortization is neither reversed nor suspended if it is subsequently determined that the attainment of the performance target is less than probable or improbable and the employee continues to meet the service requirement of the award.
Classes of Stock and Equity Instruments
Preferred Stock
Depositary shares each representing 1/40th of a share of 7.75% Fixed Rate Reset Non-Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock, Series F (“Series F Preferred Stock”) are listed on the NYSE under the symbol “BANC/PF.” The Series F Preferred Stock ranks senior to our common stock and common stock equivalents both as to dividends and liquidation preference but generally have no voting rights. There are 50,000,000 total preferred shares authorized, of which 27,000,000 were authorized for the non-voting common stock equivalents (“NVCE”) and 513,250 were authorized and outstanding for the Series F Preferred stock at June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024.

Class B Non-Voting Common Stock
Our Class B non-voting common stock is not listed or traded on any national securities exchange or automated quotation system, and there currently is no established trading market for such stock.

Non-Voting Common Stock Equivalents
In conjunction with the Merger, the Company issued a new class of NVCE from authorized preferred stock, which were issued under the Investment Agreements (as defined below). Our NVCE stock is not listed or traded on any national securities exchange or automated quotation system, and there currently is no established trading market for such stock. The NVCE stock does not have voting rights and ranks equally with, and has identical rights, preferences, and privileges as, the voting common stock with respect to dividends or distributions (including regular quarterly dividends) declared by the Board and rights upon any liquidation, dissolution, winding up or similar proceeding of the Company. There were 27,000,000 shares authorized at June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024 and 9,790,600 shares outstanding at June 30, 2025 and at December 31, 2024.
Warrants
In conjunction with the Merger and per the terms of the investment agreements, each dated July 25, 2023, entered into by Banc of California, Inc. with the Warburg Investors (such agreement, the "Warburg Investment Agreement") and the Centerbridge Investor (together with the Warburg Investment Agreement, the "Investment Agreements"), respectively, the Warburg Investors received warrants to purchase 15,853,659 shares of NVCE stock (the "Warburg Warrants"), and the Centerbridge Investor received warrants to purchase 3,048,780 shares of voting common stock (the “Centerbridge Warrants”), each with an initial exercise price of $15.375 per share, subject to customary anti-dilution adjustments provided for under the warrant agreements. The warrants carry a term of seven years but are subject to mandatory exercise when the market price of the voting common stock reaches or exceeds $24.60 for 20 or more trading days during any 30-consecutive trading day period. These warrants are being accounted for as equity. The exercise price of the Centerbridge Warrants will be adjusted downward, per the terms of their warrant agreement, and the conversion price of the Warburg Warrants will also be adjusted, per the terms of their warrant agreement and the NVCE Articles Supplementary, for cash distributions to stockholders of the Company’s voting common stock, including the Company’s quarterly cash dividend.
Stock Repurchase Program
On March 17, 2025, we announced that our Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to $150.0 million of our common stock. On April 23, 2025, we announced an upsize of the stock repurchase program from $150.0 million to $300.0 million and expanded the program to cover both the Company's common stock and depositary shares representing its preferred stock. The repurchase authorization expires in March 2026.
During the first quarter of 2025, common stock repurchased under the program totaled 2,684,823 shares at a weighted average price per share of $14.36, or $38.5 million in the aggregate. During the second quarter of 2025, common stock repurchased under the program totaled 8,809,814 shares at a weighted average price per share of $12.65, or $111.5 million in the aggregate. During the six months ended June 30, 2025, common stock repurchased under the program totaled 11,494,637 shares at a weighted average price per share of $13.05, or $150.0 million in the aggregate. As of June 30, 2025, the Company had $150.0 million remaining under the stock repurchase authorization.
Purchases may be made in open-market transactions, in block transactions on or off an exchange, in privately negotiated transactions or by other means as determined by our management and in accordance with the regulations of the SEC. The timing of purchases and the number of shares repurchased under the program will depend on a variety of factors including price, trading volume, corporate and regulatory requirements, and market conditions. The program may be changed, suspended, or discontinued at any time.

NOTE 16. SEGMENT REPORTING
The Company provides banking and treasury management services to small-, middle-market, and venture-backed businesses. The principal business activities of the Company are gathering deposits, originating and servicing loans and leases and investing in investment securities. The Company's CODM is the Chief Executive Officer.
The Company operates as one reportable segment - Commercial Banking - based on how the CODM manages the business activities, which are described above. The CODM uses net earnings to evaluate income generated from segment assets, assess performance, decide how to allocate resources, determine dividend availability, establish management's compensation, and guide other strategic decisions. The accounting policies of the Commercial Banking segment are the same as those described in Note 1. Nature of Operations and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, of our audited consolidated financial statements included in our Form 10-K.

Recent Events
Stock Repurchase Program
On March 17, 2025, we announced that our Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to $150.0 million of our common stock. On April 23, 2025, the Company announced an upsize of its stock repurchase program from $150.0 million to $300.0 million and expanded the program to cover both the Company's common stock and depositary shares representing its preferred stock. The repurchase authorization expires in March 2026.
During the first quarter of 2025, common stock repurchased under the program totaled 2,684,823 shares at a weighted average price per share of $14.36, or $38.5 million in the aggregate. During the second quarter of 2025, common stock repurchased under the program totaled 8,809,814 shares at a weighted average price per share of $12.65, or $111.5 million in the aggregate. During the six months ended June 30, 2025, common stock repurchased under the program totaled 11,494,637 shares at a weighted average price per share of $13.05, or $150.0 million in the aggregate. As of June 30, 2025, the Company had $150.0 million remaining under the current stock repurchase authorization.
Purchases may be made in open-market transactions, in block transactions on or off an exchange, in privately negotiated transactions or by other means as determined by our management and in accordance with the regulations of the SEC. The timing of purchases and the number of shares repurchased under the program will depend on a variety of factors including price, trading volume, corporate and regulatory requirements, and market conditions. The program may be changed, suspended, or discontinued at any time.
Strategic Loan Sales Process
During the second quarter of 2025, the Company commenced a strategic loan sale process, reclassifying approximately $506.7 million of loans as held for sale. As of June 30, 2025, $30.5 million of these loans had been sold, while the remaining $476.2 million were transferred to held for sale at a lower of cost or market value of $441.2 million. The transferred loans included commercial real estate construction loans of $258.4 million, commercial real estate mortgage loans of $163.2 million, and multi-family loans of $19.6 million. While many of the loans being sold have sufficient collateral values, they have attributes that drive credit migration, and as a result we commenced the sales process for these loans.
As a result of the transfer, the Company recognized charge-offs totaling $36.9 million resulting in an incremental impact to provision expense of $26.3 million in the second quarter. The charge-off and provision impact reflects the estimated fair value based on active bids or other market inputs.
Key Performance Indicators
Among other factors, our operating results generally depend on the following key performance indicators:
The Level of Net Interest Income
Net interest income is the excess of interest earned on our interest-earning assets over the interest paid on our interest-bearing liabilities. Net interest margin is net interest income (annualized if related to a non-annual period) expressed as a percentage of average interest-earning assets.
Net interest income is affected by changes in both interest rates and the volume of average interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities. Our primary interest-earning assets are loans and investment securities, and our primary interest-bearing liabilities are deposits and borrowings. While our deposit balances will fluctuate depending on our customers’ liquidity and cash flow, market conditions, and competitive pressures, we seek to minimize the impact of these variances by attracting a high percentage of noninterest-bearing deposits. We continue to focus on growing granular relationship-based deposits as a key component of our core deposit strategy, which supports a stable funding base and strengthens our client franchise.
Loan and Lease Production
We actively seek new lending opportunities under an array of lending products. Our lending activities include real estate mortgage loans, real estate construction and land loans, commercial loans and leases, and a small amount of consumer lending. Our commercial real estate loans and real estate construction loans are secured by a range of property types. Our commercial loans and leases portfolio is diverse and generally includes various asset-secured loans, lender finance loans, equipment-secured loans and leases, venture capital loans to support venture capital firms’ operations and the operations of entrepreneurial and venture-backed companies during the various phases of their early life cycles, warehouse loans, and secured business loans.
Our loan origination process emphasizes credit quality. To augment our internal loan production, we have purchased loans such as single-family residential mortgage loans, multi-family loans from other banks, and private student loans from third-party lenders. These loan purchases help us manage the concentrations in our portfolio as they diversify the geographic risk, interest-rate risk, credit risk, and product composition of our loan portfolio. Achieving net loan growth is subject to many factors, including maintaining strict credit standards, competition from other lenders, and borrowers that opt to prepay loans.
The Magnitude of Credit Losses
We emphasize credit quality in originating and monitoring our loans and leases, and we measure our success by the levels of our classified loans and leases, nonaccrual loans and leases, and net charge-offs. We maintain an ACL on loans and leases, which is the sum of the ALLL and the reserve for unfunded loan commitments. Provisions for credit losses are charged to operations as and when needed for both on and off-balance sheet credit exposures. Loans and leases that are deemed uncollectible are charged off and deducted from the ALLL. Recoveries on loans and leases previously charged off are added to the ALLL. The provision for credit losses on the loan and lease portfolio is based on our allowance methodology, which considers the impact of assumptions and is reflective of historical experience, economic forecasts viewed to be reasonable and supportable by management, the current loan and lease composition, and relative credit risks known as of the balance sheet date. For originated and acquired credit-deteriorated loans, a provision for credit losses may be recorded to reflect credit deterioration after the origination date or after the acquisition date, respectively.
We regularly review loans and leases to determine whether there has been any deterioration in credit quality resulting from borrower operations or changes in collateral value or other factors which may affect the collectability of our loans and leases. Changes in economic conditions, such as the rate of economic growth, the unemployment rate, rate of inflation, increases in the general level of interest rates, declines in real estate values, changes in commodity prices, and adverse conditions in borrowers’ businesses, could negatively impact our borrowers and cause us to adversely classify loans and leases. An increase in classified loans and leases generally results in increased provisions for credit losses and an increased ACL. Any deterioration in the commercial real estate market may lead to increased provisions for credit losses because our loans are concentrated in commercial real estate loans.
The Level of Noninterest Expense
Our noninterest expense includes fixed and controllable overhead, the largest components of which are compensation expense, customer related expense, information technology and data processing expense, and occupancy expense. Customer related expenses are primarily earnings credit rate ("ECRs") payments to customers and are mostly driven by the Homeowners Association ("HOA") business. ECRs are rate-sensitive and fluctuate in response to changes in the federal funds rate. Additionally, noninterest expense includes insurance and assessments, intangible asset amortization, leased equipment depreciation, other professional services, loan expenses, acquisition, integration and organization costs, and other expense. We monitor our efficiency ratio as a key measure of operational performance.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
The following discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations are based upon our condensed consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto, which have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The preparation of the condensed consolidated financial statements requires us to make a number of estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and disclosures in the condensed consolidated financial statements. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our estimates and assumptions based upon historical experience and various other factors and circumstances. We believe that our estimates and assumptions are reasonable; however, actual results may ultimately differ significantly from these estimates and assumptions, which could have a material adverse effect on the carrying value of assets and liabilities at the balance sheet dates and on our results of operations for the reporting periods.
Our accounting policies and estimates are fundamental to understanding the following discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations. We identify critical policies and estimates as those that require management to make particularly difficult, subjective, and/or complex judgments about matters that are inherently uncertain and because of the likelihood that materially different amounts would be reported under different conditions or using different assumptions. These policies and estimates relate to the ACL on loans and leases held for investment, business combinations, the carrying value of goodwill and other intangible assets, and the realization of deferred income tax assets and liabilities.
Our critical accounting policies and estimates are described in Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations included in the Form 10-K.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
We use certain non-GAAP financial measures to provide meaningful supplemental information regarding the Company’s operational performance and to enhance investors’ overall understanding of such financial performance. This disclosure should not be viewed as a substitute for results determined in accordance with GAAP. The methodology for determining these non-GAAP measures may differ among companies and may not be comparable. We used the following non-GAAP measures in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q:
•Return on average tangible common equity, tangible common equity, tangible book value per common share, efficiency ratio, adjusted net earnings, and adjusted diluted earnings per share: Given that the use of these measures is prevalent among banking regulators, investors, and analysts, we disclose them in addition to the related GAAP measures of return on average equity, book value per common share, and noninterest expense to total revenue, respectively. The reconciliations of these non-GAAP measures to the GAAP measures are presented in the following tables for and as of the periods presented.

Results of Operations
The Company reported net earnings available to common and equivalent stockholders of $18.4 million, or $0.12 per diluted common share, for the second quarter of 2025. On an adjusted basis, net earnings available to common and equivalent stockholders were $48.4 million for the quarter, or $0.31 per diluted common share.(1) This compares to net earnings available to common and equivalent stockholders of $43.6 million, or $0.26 per diluted common share, for the first quarter of 2025. The second quarter included provision expense, net of tax, of an additional $20.2 million taken during the quarter as a result of transferring $506.7 million of loans to held for sale at their lower of cost or market value. The second quarter also included a one-time non-cash income tax expense of $9.8 million primarily due to the revaluation of deferred tax assets related to recent California state tax changes passed as part of the 2025 California budget.
Second Quarter of 2025 Financial Highlights:
•Total revenue of $272.8 million increased by 3% from the first quarter of 2025 driven by solid loan growth combined with continued prudent expense management.
•Total loans of $24.7 billion (including loans held for sale) increased by 2%, or 9% annualized, from the first quarter of 2025 driven by growth in lender finance loans, equity fund loans, and purchased single-family residential loans.
•Strong loan originations totaled $2.2 billion including production, purchased loans, and unfunded new commitments, with a weighted average interest rate on production of 7.29%.
•Total deposits of $27.5 billion increased by 1%, and interest-bearing deposits of $20.1 billion increased by 2% from the first quarter of 2025.
•Net interest margin up 2 basis points vs. the first quarter of 2025 to 3.10% driven by a higher average yield on loans and leases increasing by 3 basis points and flat cost of funds from the first quarter of 2025.
•Commenced sales process for $506.7 million of loans and completed sales for $30.5 million of such loans during the second quarter. The remaining $476.2 million of loans were transferred to held for sale at a lower of cost or market value of $441.2 million.
•Credit quality metrics improved substantially primarily due to the transfer of loans to held for sale in connection with the strategic loan sales process. Nonperforming, classified, and special mention loans and leases, as a percentage of total loans and leases held for investment, decreased by 19 basis points, 46 basis points, and 115 basis points, respectively, from the first quarter of 2025.
•Results include $9.8 million of one-time non-cash income tax expense largely driven by the reevaluation of deferred tax assets due to California state tax changes enacted under the 2025 California budget.
•Repurchases of 8.8 million shares of common stock at a weighted average price per share of $12.65, or $111.5 million in the aggregate, during the second quarter, and 11.5 million shares of common stock at a weighted average price per share of $13.05, or $150.0 million in the aggregate, in the first half of the year. As of June 30, 2025, the Company had $150.0 million remaining under the stock repurchase authorization.
•Maintained strong capital ratios well above the regulatory thresholds for "well capitalized" banks, including a 12.34% Tier 1 capital ratio and 9.95% CET 1 capital ratio and continued growth in book value per share to $18.58, up 2% vs. the first quarter of 2025 and tangible book value per share(1) to $16.46, up 2% vs. the first quarter of 2025.

Second Quarter of 2025 Compared to First Quarter of 2025
Net interest income increased by $7.9 million to $240.2 million for the second quarter from $232.4 million for the first quarter attributable primarily to the following:
•An increase of $16.2 million in interest income from loans due primarily to a higher average balance in the second quarter, higher day count, and higher average yield driven by higher yield on loan production.
This was offset partially by:
•An increase of $4.4 million in interest expense on deposits due primarily to higher average interest-bearing deposit balances in the second quarter and higher day count, offset partially by lower interest rates.
•A decrease of $2.1 million in interest income from deposits in financial institutions driven mainly by a lower average balance as cash was utilized to fund strong loan growth.
•An increase of $1.6 million in interest expense on our borrowings driven primarily by a higher average balance to support loan funding activity and higher day count.
The net interest margin increased to 3.10% for the second quarter, up 2 basis points from 3.08% for the first quarter primarily driven by a higher average yield on interest-earning assets. The average yield on interest-earning assets increased to 5.42% from 5.39%, reflecting a 3 basis point increase in the average yield on loans and leases to 5.93%, due to strong growth in higher yielding loan categories and new loan production at a higher weighted average rate of 7.29%. Average loans and leases also increased by $715.7 million to $24.5 billion, supported by strong loan growth.
The average total cost of funds remained flat at 2.42% for the second quarter. The average cost of borrowings decreased by 41 basis points to 4.93%, driven by the redemption of $174 million of 5.25% Senior Notes and replacement with lower-cost long-term Federal Home Loan Bank of San Francisco ("FHLB") borrowings at a weighted average rate of 3.81%. The average cost of deposits increased slightly to 2.13% from 2.12%. Average deposits increased by $384.0 million, with a $515.0 million increase in interest-bearing deposits, offset partially by a $130.9 million decrease in noninterest-bearing deposits as the need to fund strong loan growth drove a mix shift towards interest-bearing deposits. Average noninterest-bearing deposits represented 27.8% of average total deposits in the second quarter and 28.7% in the first quarter.
Six Months Ended June 30, 2025 Compared to Six Months Ended June 30, 2024
Net interest income increased by $14.0 million to $472.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025 from $458.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024 attributable primarily to the following:
•A decrease of $95.4 million in interest expense on deposits due primarily to lower interest paid on interest-bearing deposits as a result of deposit rate repricing driven by the 100 basis points of federal funds rate cuts in the second half of 2024 and lower average balance due mainly to the paydown of brokered deposits.
•A decrease of $30.0 million in interest expense on borrowings driven by lower average balance resulting from the payoff of higher-cost Bank Term Funding Program ("BTFP") borrowings in 2024, which were partially replaced with lower-cost long-term FHLB advances and lower market interest rates.
•An increase of $7.3 million in interest income from investment securities reflecting the benefits from 2024 balance sheet repositioning actions and reinvestment in higher-yield securities.
This was offset partially by:
•A decrease of $65.9 million in interest income from loans due primarily to a lower average balance attributable mainly to the sale in July 2024 of $1.95 billion of Civic loans, lower net loan discount accretion, and lower market interest rates reflective of the federal funds rate cuts.
•A decrease of $55.6 million in interest income from deposits in financial institutions primarily driven by lower balances, as we maintained a lower cash target level, and lower market interest rates.
The net interest margin increased to 3.09% for the six months ended June 30, 2025, up 36 basis points from 2.73% for the six months ended June 30, 2024. The year-over-year improvement was primarily driven by a 57 basis point decrease in the average total cost of funds to 2.42%, offset partially by a 19 basis point decrease in the average yield on interest-earning assets to 5.41%.
The average total cost of funds decreased by 57 basis points to 2.42%, driven by lower market interest rates and a shift in mix. The average cost of deposits decreased 51 basis points to 2.12%, reflecting the impact of federal funds rate cuts in the second half of 2024. Average total deposits decreased by $2.0 billion year over year, including a $1.9 billion reduction in average interest-bearing deposits and a $134.3 million decrease in average noninterest-bearing deposits. Average noninterest-bearing deposits represented 28.2% of average total deposits for the six months ended June 30, 2025 compared to 26.7% for the comparable period in 2024. The average cost of borrowings also decreased by 49 basis points to 5.12%, reflecting the paydown of higher-cost BTFP borrowings in the prior year and their replacement with lower-cost long-term FHLB advances.
The average yield on interest-earning assets decreased 19 basis points to 5.41%, primarily due to a 101 basis point decrease in the average yield on deposits in financial institutions, and a 21 basis point decrease in average yield on loans and leases, offset partially by a 30 basis point increase in the average yield on investment securities. The average yield on deposits in financial institutions decreased to 4.41% from 5.42% driven by the federal funds rate cuts described above, while the average yield on loans and leases decreased to 5.92% from 6.13%, driven by lower net loan discount accretion and market rates. The average yield on investment securities increased to 3.22% from 2.92%, reflecting continued benefits from 2024 balance sheet repositioning actions and reinvestment in higher-yield assets. Average deposits in financial institutions decreased by $1.7 billion to $2.0 billion, as we maintained a lower cash position.

______________________
(1) See "- Balance Sheet Analysis - Allowance for Credit Losses on Loans and Leases Held for Investment" for detail of charge-offs and recoveries by loan portfolio segment, class, and subclass for the periods presented.
Provision for credit losses are charged to earnings for the ALLL, the reserve for unfunded loan commitments, and the ACL on HTM and AFS securities. The provision for credit losses on our loans and leases held for investment is based on our allowance methodology and is an expense that, in our judgment, is required to maintain an adequate ACL. For further details on our loan-related ACL methodology, see “- Balance Sheet Analysis - Allowance for Credit Losses on Loans and Leases Held for Investment” contained herein.
Second Quarter of 2025 Compared to First Quarter of 2025
The provision for credit losses was $39.1 million for the second quarter compared to $9.3 million for the first quarter. The second quarter provision included a provision of loan losses of $38.6 million, offset partially by a $0.4 million reversal of the provision for unfunded loan commitments, and a provision for credit losses on investment securities of $0.9 million.
The second quarter provision for loan losses included $26.3 million related to loans transferred to held for sale for the strategic loan sales process. The remaining $12.3 million provision for loan losses was primarily driven by net charge-off activity experienced during the quarter, an increase in the quantitative reserve driven by the updated economic forecast, and an increase in the qualitative reserve related to loans secured by office properties.
The first quarter provision included a $9.7 million provision for loan losses and a $0.5 million provision for unfunded loan commitments, offset partially by a $0.9 million reversal of the provision for credit losses related to investment securities. The first quarter provision for loans and unfunded loan commitments was primarily driven by net charge-off activity experienced during the quarter, offset partially by lower specific reserves and changes in portfolio mix driven by growth in loan segments with low expected credit losses.
Six Months Ended June 30, 2025 Compared to Six Months Ended June 30, 2024
The provision for credit losses was $48.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025 compared to $21.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024. The provision for the six months ended June 30, 2025 primarily included a provision for loan losses of $48.3 million and a provision for unfunded loan commitments of $0.2 million.
The provision for the six months ended June 30, 2025 included $26.3 million related to loans transferred to held for sale. The remaining provision for loans and unfunded loan commitments was primarily driven by net charge-off activity experienced in the first half of the year, with additional impacts from risk rating migration activity. These were offset partially by lower specific reserves and a favorable shift in the portfolio mix due to growth in loan segments with lower expected credit losses.
The provision for loans and unfunded loan commitments for the six months ended June 30, 2024 included a $23.0 million provision for loan losses and a $2.0 million reversal of the provision for unfunded loan commitments. The provision for the six months ended June 30, 2024 was generally due to higher net charge-offs and higher qualitative reserves, offset partially by the reserves released for the Civic loans transferred to held for sale in the second quarter of 2024.
Certain circumstances may lead to increased provisions for credit losses on loans and leases in the future. Examples of such circumstances include deterioration in economic conditions and forecasts, an increased amount of classified and/or criticized loans and leases, and net loan and lease and unfunded commitment growth. Deterioration in economic conditions and forecasts may include the rate of economic growth, the unemployment rate, the rate of inflation, changes in the general level of interest rates, changes in real estate values, and adverse conditions in borrowers’ businesses.

Second Quarter of 2025 Compared to First Quarter of 2025
Noninterest income decreased by $1.0 million to $32.6 million for the second quarter from $33.7 million for the first quarter due mainly to a $2.4 million decrease in dividends and gains on equity investments, offset partially by a $1.5 million increase in warrant income. The decrease in dividends and gains on equity investments was primarily related to fair value losses in the second quarter on SBIC investments compared to fair value gains in the first quarter. The increase in warrant income was driven by higher gains from warrant exercises.
Six Months Ended June 30, 2025 Compared to Six Months Ended June 30, 2024
Noninterest income increased by $2.7 million to $66.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025 from $63.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024 due mainly to increases of $4.0 million in other income and $2.8 million in commissions and fees, offset partially by decreases of $2.2 million in leased equipment income and $2.0 million in dividends and gains on equity investments. The increase in other income was due mainly to a $2.6 million increase in the fair value mark on the credit-linked notes and a $1.1 million increase in gain on termination of leases. The increase in commissions and fees was due principally to higher loan-related fee income and higher customer service fees. The decrease in dividends and gains on equity investments was due mostly to lower fair value net gains in the first half of 2025 on SBIC investments compared to the same period in 2024.

Second Quarter of 2025 Compared to First Quarter of 2025
Noninterest expense increased by $2.2 million to $185.9 million for the second quarter from $183.7 million for the first quarter due mainly to increases of $2.1 million in insurance and assessments and $1.9 million in compensation expense, offset partially by a decrease of $2.0 million in information technology and data processing expenses. Insurance assessments increased mainly due to lower FDIC assessment and FDIC expense true-ups in the first quarter. Compensation expense increased mainly driven by higher incentive and equity compensation reversals related to staff exits in the prior quarter. Information technology and data processing decreased mainly driven by lower software subscription costs and certain expense true-ups.
Six Months Ended June 30, 2025 Compared to Six Months Ended June 30, 2024
Noninterest expense decreased by $44.6 million to $369.5 million for the six-month period ended June 30, 2025 due mainly to decreases of $30.2 million in insurance and assessments, $9.0 million in customer related expenses, $4.9 million in occupancy, $3.4 million in compensation expense, and $13.1 million in all of the other expense categories, offset partially by an increase of $12.7 million in acquisition, integration and reorganization costs, as the prior-year period included a reversal of previously accrued merger-related costs due to lower actual expenses and there are no merger-related costs in the current year. Insurance and assessment decreased primarily due to incremental FDIC special assessments recorded in the first quarter of 2024, resulting from higher assessment rates. Customer related expense decreased due to lower earnings credit rate expenses, which were impacted by the lower federal funds rate. Occupancy decreased reflecting cost savings from branch consolidations following the merger. Compensation expense decreased primarily driven by reduced headcount following the merger.
Income Taxes
Second Quarter of 2025 Compared to First Quarter of 2025
Income tax expense of $19.5 million was recorded for the second quarter resulting in an effective tax rate of 40.7% compared to income tax expense of $19.5 million and an effective tax rate of 26.7% for the first quarter.
The 40.7% effective tax rate in the second quarter of 2025 included a one-time non-cash income tax expense of $9.8 million due primarily to the revaluation of deferred tax assets ("DTA") related to the California state tax changes passed as part of the 2025 California budget enacted on June 30, 2025 and effective retroactively to January 1, 2025. We expect our tax rate going forward to be positively impacted by this state tax rule change.
Six Months Ended June 30, 2025 Compared to Six Months Ended June 30, 2024
Income tax expense of $39.0 million was recorded for the six-month period ended June 30, 2025 resulting in an effective tax rate of 32.2% compared to income tax expense of $25.9 million and an effective tax rate of 29.7% for the comparable period in 2024. The higher 2025 year-to-date effective tax rate was due primarily to the one-time non-cash tax expense related to the DTA revaluation recorded in the second quarter of 2025.

Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents decreased by $148.7 million to $2.4 billion at June 30, 2025 compared to $2.5 billion at December 31, 2024, primarily attributable to the use of cash to support loan growth in the first half of the year.

AFS securities decreased by $0.7 million to $2.2 billion at June 30, 2025 compared to $2.2 billion at December 31, 2024. The decrease was primarily driven by $209.7 million of principal paydowns, $3.7 million of net amortization, and a $0.8 million provision for credit losses, offset partially by purchases of $166.9 million and a $46.7 million increase in the fair value of AFS securities due to lower interest rates. As principal paydowns occurred, we reinvested in higher-yield securities to enhance our investment yield.
As of June 30, 2025, AFS securities had aggregate unrealized net after-tax losses in AOCI of $166.6 million compared to $200.1 million at December 31, 2024. The decrease in the AFS unrealized net losses related primarily to lower interest rates and the resulting impact on valuations.

HTM securities increased by $10.6 million to $2.3 billion at June 30, 2025 compared to $2.3 billion at December 31, 2024. The increase was primarily due to the accretion of $16.7 million of the remaining unrealized losses balance deferred in other comprehensive income ("OCI") from a prior transfer of securities from AFS to HTM on June 1, 2022, and the release of $0.8 million in credit loss reserve, offset partially by $6.3 million of net amortization and $0.6 million of principal paydowns.
As of June 30, 2025, HTM securities had aggregate unrealized net after-tax losses in AOCI of $145.9 million remaining from the balance established at the time of the AFS to HTM transfer, compared to $157.9 million at December 31, 2024.

________________________________
(1) Includes land and acquisition and development loans of $200.6 million at June 30, 2025 and $223.9 million at December 31, 2024.
Total loans and leases held for investment increased by $464.2 million and totaled $24.2 billion at June 30, 2025 compared to $23.8 billion at December 31, 2024. The increase in loans and leases held for investment was due primarily to increased balances in the venture capital, asset-based, other residential real estate mortgage mainly from purchased single-family residential loans, multi-family, and other commercial loan portfolios, offset partially by a decrease in the real estate construction and land loan segment and the commercial real estate mortgage loan portfolios.
In the second quarter of 2025, we commenced a strategic loan sale process and transferred $506.7 million of loans to held for sale. As of June 30, 2025, $30.5 million of these loans had been sold, and the remaining $476.2 million were transferred to held for sale at a lower of cost or market value of $441.2 million, which included commercial real estate construction loans of $258.4 million, commercial real estate mortgage loans of $163.2 million, and multi-family loans of $19.6 million. While many of the loans being sold have sufficient collateral values, they have attributes that drive credit migration, and as a result we have commenced the sales process for these loans.

At June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, 72% and 71% of our real estate loans were collateralized by property located in California because our full-service branches and our community banking activities are primarily located in California.
Loans and Leases Held for Sale
Total loans and leases held for sale increased by $439.2 million and totaled $465.6 million at June 30, 2025 compared to $26.3 million at December 31, 2024. The increase in loans held for sale was primarily driven by the transfer as discussed above related to the strategic loan sales process commenced in the second quarter of 2025.
Allowance for Credit Losses on Loans and Leases Held for Investment
The ACL on loans and leases held for investment is the combination of the ALLL and the reserve for unfunded loan commitments. The ALLL is reported as a reduction of the amortized cost basis of loans and leases, while the reserve for unfunded loan commitments is included within "Accrued interest payable and other liabilities" on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. The amortized cost basis of loans and leases does not include accrued interest receivable, which is included in "Other assets" on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. The "Provision for credit losses" on the condensed consolidated statement of earnings is a combination of the provision for loan and lease losses, the provision for unfunded loan commitments, the provision for AFS debt securities, and the provision for HTM debt securities.
Under the CECL methodology, expected credit losses reflect losses over the remaining contractual life of an asset, considering the effect of prepayments and available information about the collectability of cash flows, including information about relevant historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts of future events and circumstances. Thus, the CECL methodology incorporates a broad range of information in developing credit loss estimates.
For further information regarding the calculation of the ACL on loans and leases held for investment using the CECL methodology, see Note 1. Nature of Operations and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements contained in "Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data" of our Form 10-K.
In calculating our ACL, we continued to consider higher inflation rates, the Federal Reserve's monetary policy, the risk of a recession, technical or otherwise, and the impact of various geopolitical risks on the economy in our process for estimating expected credit losses given the changes in economic forecasts and assumptions along with the uncertainty related to the severity and duration of the economic consequences resulting from such events. Our methodology and framework along with the 4-quarter reasonable and supportable forecast period and 2-quarter reversion period have remained consistent since the implementation of CECL on January 1, 2020. Certain management assumptions are reassessed every quarter based on current expectations for credit losses, while other assumptions are assessed and updated on at least an annual basis.
For the second quarter of 2025, we used the Moody’s June 30, 2025 Baseline and S2 Downside 75th Percentile for the calculation of our quantitative component. The weightings of the scenarios were based on management’s current expectations for the economic forecast, acknowledging the risk of recession over our reasonable and supportable forecast period and the current economic uncertainty.
During the quarter, the total ACL decreased when compared to the previous quarter which was driven by a decrease in the quantitative reserve that was partially offset by an increase in the qualitative reserves. The primary drivers behind lower quantitative reserves was the sale or reclassification of more than $500 million of loans to held for sale during the quarter and net charge-off activity. The decrease in quantitative reserves was partially offset by updates to the macro-economic forecast, including the scenario weighting, and higher qualitative reserves. Growth in the loans held for investment portfolio during the quarter was primarily in portfolios with lower expected credit losses, such as warehouse lending, equity fund loans, and lender finance, while portfolios requiring higher reserves, such as commercial real estate and commercial construction, have lower overall balances.
As part of our ACL methodology, we consistently incorporate the use of qualitative factors in determining the overall ACL to capture risks that may not be appropriately reflected in our quantitative models. Such qualitative factors may include, but are not limited to: economic conditions not captured in in the quantitative reserve; collateral dependency related to certain loan portfolios including loans secured by office properties that were directly impacted by flexible/hybrid work environment; concentrations of credit within the loan portfolio including the commercial real estate portfolio; the quality of the Company’s credit review system; the volume and severity of adversely classified financial assets; the Company’s lending policies and procedures; and the effect of other external factors such as the regulatory and legal environments. During the second quarter of 2025, reserves associated with the qualitative adjustments increased when compared to the prior quarter. Primary qualitative adjustments were related to loans secured by office properties and concentration of credit associated with commercial real estate loans, multi-family loans, and construction loans.
The use of different economic forecasts, whether based on different scenarios, the use of multiple or single scenarios, or updated economic forecasts and scenarios, can change the outcome of the calculations. In addition to the economic forecasts, there are numerous components and assumptions that are integral to the overall estimation of the ACL. As part of our ACL process, sensitivity analyses are performed to assess how changing certain assumptions could impact the estimated ACL. At times, these analyses can provide information to further assist management in making decisions related to certain assumptions. We calculated alternative values for our ACL using various alternative forecast scenarios weightings and the calculated amounts for the quantitative component differed from the probability-weighted multiple scenario forecast ranging from increasing the dollar amount of the quantitative component of the ACL by 4.8% to lower reserves by 5.2%. However, from a sensitivity analysis perspective, changing key assumptions such as the macro-economic variable inputs from the economic forecasts, the reasonable and supportable forecast period, prepayment rates, loan segmentation, historical loss factors and/or periods, among others, would all change the outcome of the quantitative components of the ACL. Those results would then need to be assessed from a qualitative perspective, potentially requiring further adjustments to the qualitative component to arrive at a reasonable and appropriate ACL.
The determination of the ACL is complex and highly dependent on numerous models, assumptions, and judgments made by management. Management's current expectation for credit losses on loans and leases held for investment as quantified in the ACL incorporates certain management assumptions and is reflective of historical credit experience, economic forecasts viewed to be reasonable and supportable, current loan and lease composition, and relative credit risks known as of the balance sheet date.
Management believes the ACL is appropriate for the current expected credit losses in our loan and lease portfolio and associated unfunded loan commitments, and the credit risk ratings and inherent loss rates currently assigned are reasonable and appropriate as of the reporting date. It is possible that others, given the same information, may at any point in time reach different conclusions that could result in a significant impact to the Company's financial statements.

Credit Quality
The overall quality of our loan portfolio remains strong, supported by disciplined underwriting, borrower strength, and robust credit metrics. Credit quality metrics improved primarily due to the transfer of loans to held for sale in connection with the strategic loan sales process in the second quarter of 2025. These sales and transfers contributed to broad-based improvements across key credit quality metrics.

Nonperforming loans and leases held for investment decreased by $22.1 million to $167.5 million at June 30, 2025 compared to $189.6 million at December 31, 2024, due mainly to charge-offs of $19.8 million, transfers to accrual status of $16.8 million, transfers to held for sale of $5.7 million, and principal and other reductions of $60.1 million, offset partially by additions of $80.3 million. As of June 30, 2025, the Company's three largest loan relationships on nonaccrual status had an aggregate carrying value of $65.7 million and represented 39% of total nonaccrual loans and leases.
Loans and leases accruing and 30-89 days past due decreased by $9.9 million to $40.9 million as of June 30, 2025 compared to $50.8 million at December 31, 2024, due mainly to a decrease of $9.4 million in multi-family real estate mortgage delinquent loans.

Classified loans and leases increased by $93.1 million to $656.6 million at June 30, 2025 compared to $563.5 million at December 31, 2024, due mainly to increases of $76.8 million in multi-family real estate mortgage classified loans, $69.3 million in commercial real estate construction and land classified loans, and $28.8 million in commercial asset-based classified loans, offset partially by a decrease of $83.8 million in commercial real estate mortgage classified loans primarily due to the transfer of loans to held for sale in connection with the strategic loan sales process.
Special mention loans and leases decreased by $435.7 million to $661.6 million at June 30, 2025 compared to $1.1 billion at December 31, 2024, due mainly to decreases of $203.2 million in residential real estate construction and land special mention loans resulting from credit migration out of the category, as well as $144.7 million in commercial real estate mortgage special mention loans and $118.5 million in commercial real estate construction and land special mention loans primarily due to the transfer of loans to held for sale in connection with the strategic loan sales process. These decreases were offset partially by increases of $34.0 million in commercial asset-based special mention loans and $27.1 million in venture capital special mention loans.

Total deposits increased by $336.5 million to $27.5 billion at June 30, 2025 compared to $27.2 billion at December 31, 2024. The increase of $336.5 million in total deposits was due primarily to increases of $363.7 million in checking accounts and $233.8 million in brokered time deposits, offset partially by a decrease of $278.8 million in noninterest-bearing checking accounts. At June 30, 2025, noninterest-bearing deposits totaled $7.4 billion, or 27%, of total deposits, and interest-bearing deposits totaled $20.1 billion, or 73%, of total deposits, compared to noninterest-bearing deposits of $7.7 billion, or 28% of total deposits, and interest-bearing deposits of $19.5 billion, or 72% of total deposits, at December 31, 2024.
As of June 30, 2025, FDIC-insured deposits represented approximately 71% of total deposits, including accounts eligible for pass-through insurance, down from 72% as of December 31, 2024. Available liquidity (on-balance sheet liquidity plus unused borrowing capacity and unpledged AFS securities) was $14.8 billion at June 30, 2025, which exceeded uninsured and uncollateralized deposits of $7.6 billion, with a coverage ratio of 196% as compared to a coverage ratio of 221% at December 31, 2024. Available liquidity also represented 54% of total deposits at June 30, 2025.

Borrowings increased by $525.4 million to $1.9 billion at June 30, 2025 compared to $1.4 billion at December 31, 2024 due to higher FHLB secured advances and AFX short-term borrowings, offset partially by the payoff of $174.0 million of Senior Notes in the second quarter of 2025. We utilized these borrowings to manage liquidity needs, including, but not limited to, funding asset growth, accommodating liability maturities and deposit withdrawals, and supporting business operations.
Subordinated Debt
As of June 30, 2025, the carrying value of subordinated debt totaled $949.2 million compared to $941.9 million at December 31, 2024. The increase was primarily driven by the accretion of the acquisition discount on acquired subordinated debt and higher valuation of the Euribor-based subordinated debt. At June 30, 2025, $131.0 million of subordinated debt was included in the Company's Tier I capital and $803.1 million was included in Tier II capital.
Regulatory Matters
Capital
Bank regulatory agencies measure capital adequacy through standardized risk-based capital guidelines that compare different levels of capital (as defined by such guidelines) to risk-weighted assets and off-balance sheet obligations. At June 30, 2025, banks considered to be “well capitalized” must maintain a minimum Tier 1 leverage ratio of 5.00%, a minimum common equity Tier 1 capital ratio of 6.50%, a minimum Tier 1 capital ratio of 8.00%, and a minimum Total capital ratio of 10.00%.
Regulatory capital requirements limit the amount of DTAs that may be included when determining the amount of regulatory capital. Deferred tax asset amounts in excess of the calculated limit are disallowed from regulatory capital. At June 30, 2025, such disallowed amounts were $315.7 million for the Company and $296.9 million for the Bank. No assurance can be given that the regulatory capital deferred tax asset limitation will not increase in the future or that the Company and the Bank will not have increased DTAs that are disallowed.
In 2020, the federal bank regulatory authorities approved a rule that delays the estimated impact on regulatory capital resulting from the adoption of CECL. We elected the CECL phase-in option provided by regulatory capital rules which delayed for two years the estimated impact of CECL on regulatory capital and phases it in over a three-year transition period beginning in the first quarter of 2022. The full impact of the CECL standard was phased-in to regulatory capital through December 31, 2024 under this phase-in option, and beginning in the first quarter of 2025, CECL was fully reflected in our regulatory capital.
Basel III currently requires all banking organizations to maintain a 2.50% capital conservation buffer above the minimum risk-based capital requirements to avoid certain limitations on capital distributions, stock repurchases and discretionary bonus payments to executive officers. The capital conservation buffer is exclusively comprised of common equity Tier 1 capital, and it applies to each of the three risk-based capital ratios but not to the leverage ratio. Effective January 1, 2019, the common equity Tier 1, Tier 1, and Total capital ratio minimums inclusive of the capital conservation buffer were 7.00%, 8.50%, and 10.50%. At June 30, 2025, the Company and the Bank were in compliance with the capital conservation buffer requirements.
The following tables present a comparison of our actual capital ratios to the minimum required ratios and well capitalized ratios as of the dates indicated:

| Total capital ratio | 15.65% | 16.65% | 8.00% | 10.50% | 10.00% |
The Company's consolidated risk-based capital ratios decreased during the six months ended June 30, 2025 due mainly to the impact of stock repurchases, lower net earnings, and an increase in risk-weighted assets mostly driven by the growth in loan balances. The consolidated Tier 1 leverage ratio also decreased during the six months ended June 30, 2025 due mainly to higher average assets.
Dividends on Common Stock and Interest on Subordinated Debt
As a bank holding company, Banc of California, Inc. is required to notify and receive approval from the FRB prior to declaring and paying a dividend to common stockholders during any period in which quarterly and/or cumulative twelve-month net earnings are insufficient to fund the dividend amount, among other requirements. Interest payments made on subordinated debt are considered dividend payments under FRB regulations. We may not pay a dividend if the FRB objects or until such time as we receive approval from the FRB or we no longer need to provide notice under applicable regulations. The Company currently is required to receive FRB approval to declare or pay a dividend to stockholders. Further, if the Company defaults or elects to defer the interest payments on its subordinated debt, it is restricted from paying dividends on its Series F preferred and common stock.
Dividends on Preferred Stock
The Company's ability to pay dividends on the Series F preferred stock depends on the ability of the Bank to pay dividends to the holding company. The ability of the Company and the Bank to pay dividends in the future is subject to bank regulatory requirements, including capital regulations and policies established by the FRB, and the DFPI, as applicable. Dividends on the Series F preferred stock will not be declared, paid, or set aside for payment to the extent such act would cause us to fail to comply with applicable laws and regulations, including applicable FRB capital adequacy regulations and policies.
Dividends on the Series F preferred stock are not cumulative or mandatory. If the Company's Board of Directors does not declare a dividend on the Series F preferred stock in respect of a dividend period, then no dividend shall be deemed to be payable for such dividend period or be cumulative, and the Company will have no obligation to pay any dividend for that dividend period, whether or not the Board of Directors declares a dividend on the Series F preferred stock or any other class or series of its capital stock for any future dividend period. However, if dividends on the Series F preferred stock have not been declared or paid for the equivalent of six dividend payments, whether or not for consecutive dividend periods, holders of the outstanding shares of Series F preferred stock, together with holders of any other series of the Company's preferred stock ranking equal with the Series F preferred stock with similar voting rights, will generally be entitled to vote for the election of two additional directors. Additionally, so long as any share of Series F preferred stock remains outstanding, unless dividends on all outstanding shares of Series F preferred stock for the most recently completed dividend period have been paid in full or declared and a sum sufficient for the payment thereof has been set aside for payment, no dividend shall be declared or paid or set aside for payment and no distribution shall be declared or made or set aside for payment on the Company's common stock.
Liquidity
Liquidity Management
Liquidity is the ongoing ability to accommodate liability maturities and deposit withdrawals, fund asset growth and business operations, and meet contractual obligations through unconstrained access to funding at reasonable market rates. Liquidity management involves forecasting funding requirements and maintaining sufficient capacity to meet the needs and accommodate fluctuations in asset and liability levels due to changes in the Company’s business operations or unanticipated events.
We have a Management Finance Committee ("MFC") that is comprised of members of senior management and is responsible for managing commitments to meet the needs of customers while achieving our financial objectives. MFC meets regularly to review funding capacities, current and forecasted loan demand, and investment opportunities.
We manage our liquidity by maintaining pools of liquid assets on-balance sheet, consisting of cash and receivables due from banks, interest-earning deposits in other financial institutions, and unpledged AFS securities, which we refer to as our primary liquidity. We also maintain available borrowing capacity under secured credit lines with the FHLB and the FRBSF, which we refer to as our secondary liquidity.
As a member of the FHLB, the Bank had secured borrowing capacity with the FHLB of $7.1 billion at June 30, 2025, offset partially by $568.7 million pledged for letters of credit and a balance outstanding of $1.7 billion as of that date. The FHLB secured credit line was collateralized by a blanket lien on $10.6 billion of certain qualifying loans and $19.4 million of securities. The Bank also had secured borrowing capacity with the FRBSF under the Discount Window program totaling $5.7 billion at June 30, 2025, of which $5.7 billion was available. The FRBSF Discount Window secured credit line was collateralized by liens on $5.3 billion of qualifying loans and $1.5 billion of pledged securities.
In addition to its secured lines of credit with the FHLB and FRBSF, the Bank also maintains unsecured capacity for the purpose of borrowing overnight funds, subject to availability, of $265.0 million in the aggregate with several correspondent banks. As of June 30, 2025, there was no balance outstanding related to these sources. The Bank is a member of the AFX, through which it may either borrow or lend funds on an overnight or short-term basis with a group of pre-approved commercial banks. The availability of funds changes daily. As of June 30, 2025, there was a $100.0 million outstanding balance through the AFX. Additionally, the holding company has a $100.0 million unsecured revolving line of credit. As of June 30, 2025, there was no balance outstanding.

During the six months ended June 30, 2025, the Company's primary liquidity decreased by $124.4 million to $4.2 billion at June 30, 2025 due mainly to a $148.7 million decrease in total cash and cash equivalents which was primarily used to fund loan growth. We also include certain unencumbered HTM securities in our internal liquidity stress test buffer which are not included in our primary liquidity. During the six months ended June 30, 2025, the Company's secondary liquidity decreased by $950.2 million to $10.6 billion at June 30, 2025 due to decreases in available secured borrowing capacity with the FHLB of $389.9 million and available secured borrowing capacity with the FRB of $560.3 million.
Obtaining new customer deposits, or having existing customers increase their deposit balances with us, are the primary sources of funding for our operations and is one of the highest priorities of the Company. See "- Balance Sheet Analysis - Deposits" for additional information and detail of our deposits. Additionally, we fund our operations with cash flows from our loan and securities portfolios.
Our deposit balances may decrease if customers withdraw funds from the Bank. In order to address the Bank’s liquidity risk from fluctuating deposit balances, the Bank maintains adequate levels of available liquidity on and off the balance sheet.
We use brokered deposits, the availability of which is uncertain and subject to competitive market forces and regulations, for liquidity management purposes. At June 30, 2025, brokered deposits totaled $2.9 billion, consisting of $0.6 billion of non-maturity brokered accounts and $2.3 billion of brokered time deposits. At December 31, 2024, brokered deposits totaled $2.7 billion, consisting of $0.6 billion of non-maturity brokered accounts and $2.1 billion of brokered time deposits.
Our Liquidity Management Policy includes guidelines, which are governed by the Company's Risk Appetite Statement, which include the following metrics: Primary Liquidity Ratio (unencumbered liquid assets, which reflects cash and cash equivalents excluding restricted cash and the market value of unpledged AFS securities, net of a haircut, divided by total assets), Primary + Secondary Liquidity (unencumbered liquid assets, which reflect cash and cash equivalents excluding restricted cash and the market value of unpledged AFS securities, net of a haircut, and available borrowing capacity at the FHLB and FRB, divided by total assets), Brokered Deposits to Total Funding Ratio (brokered deposits to total deposits plus borrowings), Total Borrowings to Total Funding Ratio (borrowings to total deposits and borrowings), and Non-Core Funding to Total Funding Ratio (brokered deposits and borrowings to total deposits plus borrowings). At June 30, 2025, the Bank was in compliance with all of its funding concentration liquidity guidelines.
Holding Company Liquidity
Banc of California, Inc. acts as a source of financial strength for the Bank which can also include being a source of liquidity. The primary sources of liquidity for the holding company include dividends from the Bank, intercompany tax payments from the Bank, and Banc of California, Inc.'s ability to raise capital, issue subordinated and senior debt, and secure outside borrowings. Banc of California, Inc.'s ability to obtain funds for the payment of dividends to our stockholders, the repurchase of shares of common and preferred stock, and other cash requirements is largely dependent upon the Bank’s earnings. The Bank is subject to restrictions under certain federal and state laws and regulations that limit its ability to transfer funds to the holding company through intercompany loans, advances, or cash dividends. Banc of California, Inc.'s ability to pay dividends is also subject to the restrictions set forth by the FRB, and by certain covenants contained in our subordinated debt. See "- Regulatory Matters - Dividend on Preferred Stock" for information regarding the payment of dividends on the Series F preferred stock.
On December 23, 2024, Banc of California, Inc. entered into an unsecured revolving line of credit agreement as a borrower for $50.0 million. On March 17, 2025, the Company executed an amendment to the credit agreement which increased the Company's unsecured revolving line of credit to $100.0 million. As of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, there was no balance outstanding.
On March 17, 2025, we announced that our Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to $150.0 million of our common stock. On April 23, 2025, we announced an upsize of our stock repurchase program from $150.0 million to $300.0 million and expanded the program to cover both the Company's common stock and depositary shares representing its preferred stock. The repurchase authorization expires in March 2026. During the six months ended June 30, 2025, common stock repurchased under the program totaled 11,494,637 shares at a weighted average price per share of $13.05, or $150.0 million in the aggregate. As of June 30, 2025, the Company had $150.0 million remaining under the stock repurchase authorization. The program may be changed, suspended, or discontinued at any time.
At June 30, 2025, Banc of California, Inc. had $146.6 million in cash and cash equivalents, of which a substantial amount was on deposit at the Bank. We believe this amount of cash, along with anticipated future dividends from the Bank, will be sufficient to fund the holding company’s cash flow needs over the next 12 months.
Commitments and Contingencies
Our obligations also include off-balance sheet arrangements consisting of loan commitments, of which only a portion is expected to be funded, and standby letters of credit. At June 30, 2025, our loan commitments and standby letters of credit were $4.7 billion and $207.8 million. The loan commitments, a portion of which will eventually result in funded loans, increase our profitability through net interest income when drawn and unused commitment fees prior to being drawn. We manage our overall liquidity taking into consideration funded and unfunded commitments as a percentage of our liquidity sources. Our liquidity sources, as described in "- Liquidity - Liquidity Management," have been and are expected to be sufficient to meet the cash requirements of our lending activities. For further information on loan commitments, see Note 10. Commitments and Contingencies, of our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
This analysis should be read in conjunction with text under the caption "Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk" in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024, which text is incorporated herein by reference. Our analysis of market risk and market-sensitive financial information contains forward-looking statements and is subject to the disclosure at the beginning of Item 2 regarding such forward-looking information.
Market Risk - Foreign Currency Exposure
We enter into foreign exchange contracts with our clients and counterparty banks primarily for the purpose of offsetting or hedging clients' foreign currency exposures arising out of commercial transactions, and we enter into cross currency swaps and foreign exchange contracts to hedge exposures to loans and debt instruments denominated in foreign currencies. We have experienced and will continue to experience fluctuations in our net earnings as a result of transaction gains or losses related to revaluing certain asset and liability balances that are denominated in currencies other than the U.S. Dollar and the derivatives that hedge those exposures in order to minimize our foreign exchange risk.
As of June 30, 2025, the U.S. Dollar notional amounts of loans receivable and subordinated debt payable denominated in foreign currencies were $65.6 million and $30.4 million, and the U.S. Dollar notional amounts of derivatives outstanding to hedge these foreign currency exposures were $65.4 million and $28.5 million. We recognized a foreign currency translation net gain of $54,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and a foreign currency translation net loss of $355,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2024.
Asset/Liability Management and Interest Rate Sensitivity
Interest Rate Risk - Company Governance. On at least a quarterly basis, we measure our IRR position using two methods: (i) Net Interest Income ("NII") simulation analysis and (ii) Economic Value of Equity ("EVE") modeling. The Management Finance Committee ("MFC") and the Finance Committee of the Company's Board of Directors review the results of these analyses at least quarterly. As discussed in more detail below, if projected changes to interest rates cause changes to our simulated net present value of equity and/or net interest income to be outside our pre-established IRR limits, we may adjust our asset and liability mix in an effort to bring our interest rate risk exposure within our established limits.
The pre-established IRR Limits are recommended by management, determined based on analytical review and available peer data published by regulatory agencies about the IRR Limits utilized by other regional banks, and documented in the Company's ALM Policy. The ALM Policy is approved by MFC and the Finance Committee of the Board of Directors annually. We believe our ALM Policy IRR Limits are consistent with prevailing practice in the regional banking industry.
We use a balance sheet simulation model (the "IRR Model") to estimate changes in NII and EVE that would result from immediate and sustained changes in interest rates as of the measurement date. This IRR Model assesses the changes in NII and EVE that would occur in response to an instantaneous and sustained increase and decrease in market interest rates of +-100, +-200, +-300, and +-400 basis points. This model is an IRR management tool, and the results are not necessarily an indication of our future net interest income. The IRR Model has inherent limitations and the model's results are based on a given set of rate changes and assumptions at a single point in time.
The IRR Model is updated at least quarterly, and the IRR Model results are reported to MFC and the Finance Committee of the Company's Board of Directors at each quarterly meeting, as applicable.
Our Risk When Interest Rates Change. The rates of interest we earn on assets and pay on liabilities generally are established contractually for a period of time, except for non-maturity deposits. Market interest rates change over time. Accordingly, our results of operations, like those of other financial institutions, are impacted by changes in interest rates and the interest rate sensitivity of our assets and liabilities. The risk associated with changes in interest rates and our ability to adapt to these changes is known as interest rate risk and is our most significant market risk.
How We Measure Our Risk of Interest Rate Changes. As part of our attempt to manage our exposure to changes in interest rates and comply with applicable regulations, we have established asset/liability committees to monitor our interest rate risk. In monitoring interest rate risk, we continually analyze and manage assets and liabilities based on their payment streams and interest rates, the timing of their maturities and/or prepayments, and their sensitivity to actual or potential changes in market interest rates.
The Management Finance Committee ("MFC") is comprised of select members of senior management. The Company also has a Finance Committee of the Boards of Directors of the Company and the Bank (together with MFC, the “ALCOs”). In order to manage the risk of potential adverse effects of material and prolonged or volatile changes in interest rates on our results of operations, we have adopted asset/liability management policies to align maturities and repricing terms of interest-earning assets to interest-bearing liabilities. The asset/liability management policies establish guidelines for the volume and mix of assets and funding sources taking into account relative costs and spreads, interest rate sensitivity and liquidity needs, while management monitors adherence to those guidelines with oversight by the ALCOs. The objectives are to manage assets and funding sources to produce results that are consistent with liquidity, capital adequacy, growth, risk, and profitability goals. The ALCOs meet no less than quarterly to review, among other things, economic conditions and interest rate outlook, current and projected liquidity needs and capital position, anticipated changes in the volume and mix of assets and liabilities and interest rate risk exposure limits versus current projections pursuant to our economic value of equity analysis.
In order to manage our assets and liabilities and achieve the desired liquidity, credit quality, interest rate risk, profitability, and capital targets, we evaluate various strategies including:
•Complementing our current loan origination platform through strategic acquisitions of whole loans,
•Strategically managing multiple warehouse relationships,
•Originating shorter-term consumer loans,
•Managing the level of investments and duration of investment securities,
•Managing our deposits to establish stable deposit relationships, and
•Using certain derivatives such as interest rate swaps and collars as hedges to align maturities and repricing terms.
At times, depending on the level of general interest rates, the relationship between long- and short-term interest rates, market conditions and competitive factors, the ALCOs may decide to increase our interest rate risk position within the asset/liability tolerance set forth by our Board of Directors. As part of its procedures, the ALCOs regularly review interest rate risk by forecasting the impact of alternative interest rate environments on net interest income and our economic value of equity.
Interest Rate Sensitivity of Economic Value of Equity and Net Interest Income
Interest rate risk results from our banking activities and is the primary market risk for us. Interest rate risk is caused by the following factors:
•Repricing risk - timing differences in the repricing and maturity of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities;
•Option risk - changes in the expected maturities of assets and liabilities, such as borrowers’ ability to prepay loans and depositors’ ability to redeem certificates of deposit before maturity;
•Yield curve risk - changes in the yield curve where interest rates increase or decrease in a nonparallel fashion; and
•Basis risk - changes in spread relationships between different yield curves, such as U.S. Treasuries, U.S. Prime Rate, and SOFR.
Since our earnings are primarily dependent on our ability to generate net interest income, we focus on actively monitoring and managing the effects of adverse changes in interest rates on our net interest income. Management of our interest rate risk is overseen by the Finance Committee of the Boards of Directors of the Company and Bank, which delegates the day-to-day management of interest rate risk to the MFC. MFC ensures that the Bank is following the appropriate and current regulatory guidance in the formulation and implementation of our interest rate risk program. The Finance Committee of the Boards of Directors of the Company and the Bank reviews the results of our interest rate risk modeling at least quarterly to ensure that we have appropriately measured our interest rate risk, mitigated our exposures appropriately and any residual risk is acceptable. In addition to our annual review of our asset liability management policy, our Board of Directors periodically reviews the interest rate risk policy limits.
Interest rate risk management is an active process that encompasses monitoring loan and deposit flows complemented by investment and funding activities. Effective management of interest rate risk begins with understanding the dynamic repricing characteristics of our assets and liabilities and determining the appropriate interest rate risk posture given business forecasts, management objectives, market expectations, and policy constraints.
Our interest rate risk exposure is measured and monitored through various risk management tools, including a simulation model that performs interest rate sensitivity analysis under multiple scenarios. The simulation model is based on the actual maturities and re-pricing characteristics of the Bank’s interest-rate sensitive assets and liabilities. The simulated interest rate scenarios include an instantaneous parallel shift in the yield curve (“Rate Shock”). We then evaluate the simulation results using two approaches: Net Interest Income at Risk (“NII at Risk”), and Economic Value of Equity (“EVE”). Under NII at Risk, the impact on net interest income from changes in interest rates on interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities is modeled utilizing various assumptions for assets, liabilities, and derivatives.
We used a NII simulation model to measure the estimated changes in NII that would result over the next twelve months from immediate and sustained changes in interest rates as of June 30, 2025. We have assumed no growth or changes in the product mix of either our total interest-sensitive assets or liabilities over the next twelve months, therefore the results reflect an interest rate shock to a static balance sheet. This model is an interest rate risk management tool, and the results are not necessarily an indication of our future net interest income.
EVE measures the period end present value of assets minus the present value of liabilities. Asset liability management uses this value to measure the changes in the economic value of the Company under various interest rate scenarios. In some ways, the economic value approach provides a broader scope than net interest income volatility approach since it captures all anticipated future cash flows.
The balance sheet is considered “asset sensitive” when an increase in interest rates is expected to expand our net interest income, as rates earned on our interest-earning assets reprice higher at a pace faster than rates paid on our interest-bearing liabilities. Conversely, the balance sheet is considered “liability sensitive” when an increase in interest rates is expected to compress our net interest income, as rates paid on our interest-bearing liabilities reprice higher at a pace faster than rates earned on our interest-earning assets.
At both June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, our interest rate risk profile remained close to "neutral." This position reflects our balanced composition of repricing assets and beta-adjusted repricing deposits and other interest-bearing liabilities over the course of the next twelve months. Given the uncertainty of the magnitude, timing, and direction of future interest rate movements, as well as the shape of the yield curve, actual results may vary materially from those predicted by our model.
The following table presents the projected change in the Company’s economic value of equity at June 30, 2025 and net interest income over the next twelve months, which would occur upon an immediate change in interest rates, but without giving effect to any steps that management might take to counteract that change:

Earnings-at-Risk
In addition to interest rate risk associated with net interest income, certain noninterest expense items are also sensitive to changes in market interest rates. One such item is the cost of earnings credit rates ("ECRs") provided on certain deposit accounts, primarily those associated with our HOA business. ECRs comprise most of our customer related expense and fluctuate in response to changes in short term rates and can therefore influence the Company's overall earnings sensitivity profile. We expect that a declining interest rate environment would reduce ECR costs and thereby reduce noninterest expense, conversely, when interest rates rise, ECR costs would also rise, thereby increasing noninterest expense. The Company's Earnings-at-Risk ("EaR") modeling incorporates the impact of these rate-sensitive noninterest expenses, in addition to interest income and expense, to assess the effect of interest rate movements on projected earnings over a twelve-month horizon.
As of June 30, 2025, client deposits eligible for ECRs totaled approximately $3.7 billion. Taking into account the rate sensitivity of ECRs, which are primarily attributable to such deposits, the Company's overall earnings profile would be considered "liability sensitive." During the second quarter of 2025, the Company also entered into interest rate collars with a notional value of $1.0 billion to mitigate the risk of increasing interest expense if short term interest rates increase. For further information on the interest rate collars, see Note 9. Derivatives, of our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
(a) Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures. Our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have evaluated our disclosure controls and procedures as of June 30, 2025 and have concluded that these disclosure controls and procedures are effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms. These disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports we file or submit is accumulated and communicated to management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
(b) Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting. There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the second quarter of 2025 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
The information set forth in Note 10. Commitments and Contingencies of our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q is incorporated herein by reference.

The outcome of such legal actions and the timing of ultimate resolution are inherently difficult to predict. In the opinion of management, based upon information currently available to us, any resulting liability, in addition to amounts already accrued, and taking into consideration insurance which may be applicable, would not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial statements or operations.
ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS
For information regarding factors that could affect the Company's results of operations, financial condition, and liquidity, see the risk factors disclosed in the "Risk Factors" section of our Form 10-K.

Document
Exhibit 10.1
BANC OF CALIFORNIA, INC. EXECUTIVE CHANGE IN CONTROL SEVERANCE PLAN
(As Amended and Restated August 7, 2025)
1.Purpose. The purpose of this Banc of California, Inc. Executive Change in Control Severance Plan (this “Plan”) is to retain certain officers and employees of the Company and its Subsidiaries by providing appropriate severance benefits and to ensure their continued dedication to their duties, including in the event of a Change in Control.
2.Eligible Participants. Employees participating in the Plan (each, a “Participant”) will be such officers and employees who are selected by the Compensation, Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee of the Board (the “Committee”) in its sole discretion and designated as a Participant; provided, that the persons in the positions of Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer of the Company on the Effective Date shall not be included as Participants in this Plan unless otherwise expressly designated by the Committee as Participants in the future.
3.Payments upon a Qualifying CIC Termination.
(a)Qualifying Change in Control Termination. If, during the period of twenty four (24) months following a Change in Control (the “CIC Termination Period”), the employment of the Participant is terminated under circumstances constituting a Qualifying Termination, then, subject to the Participant’s execution of a Release as set forth in Section 4 below, the Company shall provide to the Participant:
(i)a lump sum cash payment equal to the result of multiplying the Participant’s applicable Severance Multiple by the sum of (A) the Participant’s Base Salary and (B) the Participant’s Target Bonus and
(ii)a lump sum cash payment equal to the Pro-Rata Bonus;
(iii)in equal monthly installments for the COBRA Coverage Period, an amount equal to the monthly COBRA premium less an amount equal to the portion of the monthly health-care premium the Participant was paying prior to the Date of Termination; provided, that in the event the Participant becomes employed with another employer and becomes eligible to receive welfare benefits from such employer, the welfare benefits described herein shall cease; and
(iv)if unpaid as of the Date of Termination, payment of the Participant’s annual cash incentive bonus under the annual incentive plan by the Company (or its affiliates) for the fiscal year prior to the fiscal year in which the Date of Termination occurs, based on actual performance and paid at the time such bonuses are paid to employees of the Company, generally.
The cash payments specified in paragraphs (i) and (ii) of this Section 3(a) shall be paid within sixty (60) days (or the next following business day if the sixtieth (60th) day is not a business day) following the Date of Termination. The treatment of any Company equity awards (or equity awards issued to the Participant in replacement of such Company equity awards in connection with the Change in Control) that remain outstanding and unvested as of the Date of Termination shall be governed by the Company’s equity incentive plans (or any successor plans) and any award agreements thereunder. In addition, as soon as practicable following the Date of Termination, the Company shall pay or provide to the Participant the Accrued Benefits (which, for the avoidance of doubt, shall not be subject to the Participant’s execution of a Release as set forth in Section 4 below).
If a Participant received compensation or benefits prior to the CIC Termination Period, including such things as sign-on bonuses or relocation benefits, which would have otherwise been reimbursable to the Company in the
event of a voluntary termination of employment in the normal course, there will be no required repayment upon a Qualifying Termination during the CIC Termination Period.
Notwithstanding anything in this Plan to the contrary, if the Participant’s employment is terminated by the Company other than for Cause or Disability prior to a Change in Control, and the Participant reasonably demonstrates that such termination was at the request or suggestion of a third party who has indicated an intention or taken steps reasonably calculated to effect a Change in Control (a “Third Party”) and a Change in Control involving such Third Party occurs, then for all purposes of this Plan, the date of a Change in Control shall mean the date immediately prior to the date of such termination of employment.
(b)Non-Qualifying Termination During CIC Termination Period. If during the CIC Termination Period, the employment of the Participant shall terminate by reason other than a Qualifying Termination, then as soon as practicable following the Date of Termination, the Company shall pay or provide to the Participant the Accrued Benefits. The Company may make such additional payments, and provide such additional benefits, to the Participant as the Company and the Participant may agree in writing.
(c)No Duplication. Except as otherwise expressly provided pursuant to this Plan, this Plan shall be construed and administered in a manner which avoids duplication of compensation and benefits which may be provided under any other plan, program, policy or other arrangement or individual contract or under any statute, rule or regulation. In the event a Participant is covered by any other plan, program, policy, individually negotiated agreement or other arrangement, in effect as of his or her Date of Termination, that may duplicate the payments and benefits provided for in this Section 3, the Committee is specifically empowered to reduce or eliminate the duplicative benefits provided for under the Plan. For the avoidance of doubt, amounts awarded under a retention bonus that payout in connection with a qualifying termination of employment shall not be considered duplicative of the severance benefits provided under this Section 3.
4.Release. A Participant’s receipt of payments and benefits under Section 3(a) above will be conditioned on the Participant’s execution and delivery of a general release and waiver in the form used by the Company immediately prior to the Change in Control (a “Release”), which re-affirms the Participant’s obligations to observe the terms of the restrictive covenants set forth under Section 8 below, and which shall be provided to the Participant no later than twenty one (21) days after the Date of Termination and must be executed by the Participant, become effective and not be revoked by the Participant within any applicable revocation period.
5.Withholding Taxes. The Company shall withhold from all payments due to the Participant (or his or her beneficiary or estate) hereunder all taxes which, by applicable federal, state, local or other law, the Company is required to withhold therefrom.
6.Expenses. If any contest or dispute shall arise under this Plan involving the termination of a Participant’s employment with the Company or involving the failure or refusal of the Company to perform fully in accordance with the terms hereof, the Company shall reimburse the Participant for all reasonable legal fees and expenses, if any, incurred by the Participant in connection with such contest or dispute (regardless of the result thereof) within thirty (30) days of receipt of evidence thereof; provided, however, the Participant shall be required to repay any such amounts to the Company to the extent that a court issues a final and non-appealable order setting forth the determination that the position taken by the Participant was frivolous or advanced by the Participant in bad faith.
7.No Guarantee of Continued Employment. Nothing in this Plan will be deemed to entitle the Participant to continued employment with the Company or its Subsidiaries. Nothing in this Plan or any Participant’s participation in the Plan shall be construed to alter the at-will employment status of any Participant, which employment may be terminated by the Company at any time and for any reason, with or without notice.
8.Restrictive Covenants. As sufficient consideration provided in exchange for the Participant’s continued employment with the Company and participation in this Plan, the Participant will be deemed to have not objected to the restrictive covenants set forth in this Section 8.
(a)Non-Solicitation. During the period of twenty four (24) months following the Date of Termination, the Participant shall not, and shall not assist any other person to (i) Solicit for hiring any employee of the Company or any of its affiliates (or any individual who was such an employee at any time within the twelve (12) month period preceding such Solicitation), or seek to persuade any employee of the Company or any of its affiliates (or any individual who was such an employee at any time within the twelve (12) month period preceding such action) to discontinue employment, or (ii) Solicit or encourage any independent contractor providing services to the Company or any of its affiliates to terminate or diminish its relationship with them.
(b)Customer and Potential Customer Non-Interference. During the period of twelve (12) months following the Date of Termination, the Participant shall not, directly or indirectly, individually or (i) on behalf of any other employer or any other business, person or entity, entice, induce, Solicit or attempt or participate in enticing, inducing or Soliciting, any Customer or Potential Customer of the Company to cease or reduce or refrain from doing business with the Company; or (ii) on behalf of any Competitive Business, entice, induce, Solicit or attempt or participate in enticing, inducing or Soliciting, or accept or attempt or participate in accepting, business from any Customer or Potential Customer of the Covered Unit(s).
(c)No Disparagement or Detrimental Comments. To the fullest extent permitted by law, during the Participant’s employment with the Company and thereafter, the Participant shall not, directly or indirectly, make or publish, or cause to be made or published, any statement, observation or opinion, whether verbal or written, that criticizes, disparages, defames or otherwise impugns or reasonably may be interpreted to criticize, disparage, defame or impugn, the character, integrity or reputation of the Company or its products, goods, systems or services, or its current or former directors, officers, employees, agents, successors or assigns. Nothing in this Section 8(c) is intended or should be construed to prevent the Participant from providing testimony or information to any person or entity as required by law or fiduciary duties or as may be necessary in the performance of the Participant’s duties in connection with the Participant’s employment with the Company, from engaging in Protected Activities under Section 8(e) of this Plan or from making statements or engaging in any other activities or conduct protected by the National Labor Relations Act.
(d)Confidentiality. During the Participant’s employment with the Company and thereafter, the Participant shall not use or disclose, except on behalf of the Company and pursuant to and in compliance with its direction and policies, any Confidential Information of (i) the Company or (ii) any third party received by the Company in which the Company is obligated to keep confidential. After the Date of Termination, the Participant shall not take originals or copies of any records, papers, programs, computer software and documents and all matter of whatever nature containing secret or Confidential Information of the Company or any of its affiliates. This Section 8(d) will apply in addition to, and not in derogation of, any other confidentiality or non‑disclosure agreement that may exist, now or in the future, between the Participant and the Company. Nothing in this Section 8(d) is intended to or should be construed to prevent the Participant from engaging in Protected Activities under Section 8(e) of this Plan or from making statements or engaging in any other activities or conduct protected by the National Labor Relations Act.
(e)Consideration and Acknowledgment. As sufficient consideration provided in exchange for the Participant’s continued employment with the Company and participation in this Plan, the Participant will be deemed to have acknowledged and agreed to each of the following: (i) the Participant’s participation in the Plan is voluntary; (ii) the scope and duration of the restrictions in Section 8 are fair and reasonable; (iii) if any provisions of Sections 8(a) through (d), or any part thereof, are held to be unenforceable, the court making such determination shall have the power to revise or modify such provision to make it enforceable to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law and, in its revised or modified form, such provision shall then be enforceable, and if the provision is not capable of being modified or revised so that it is enforceable, it shall be excised from the Plan without affecting the enforceability of the remaining provisions; and (iv) the time period of the
(f)Forfeiture and Clawback. As sufficient consideration provided in exchange for the Participant’s continued employment with the Company and participation in this Plan, the Participant will be deemed to have agreed that if the Participant materially breaches any provision of Sections 8(a) through (d), in addition to any and all other remedies available to the Company, (i) any payments to be provided under Section 3 above (other than the Accrued Benefits) shall upon written notice (which may be in electronic form) immediately be forfeited; and (ii) the Company shall have the right upon written notice (which may be in electronic form) to reclaim and receive from the Participant the gross amount of any payments provided under Section 3 (other than the Accrued Benefits), and any such return of such payments by the Participant which requires action on the part of the Participant shall be made within five (5) business days following receipt of written demand therefore.
9.Section 280G of the Code.
(a)To the extent that any payment or distribution to or for the benefit of the Participant pursuant to the terms of this Plan or any other plan, arrangement or agreement with the Company, any of its affiliated companies, any person whose actions result in a change of ownership or effective control covered by Section 280G(b)(2) of the Code or any person affiliated with the Company or such person, whether paid or payable or distributed or distributable pursuant to the terms of this Plan or otherwise (the “Payments”) would be subject to the excise tax (the “Excise Tax”) imposed by Section 4999 of the Code, then the Company shall reduce the payments to the amount that is (after taking into account federal, state, local and Social Security taxes at the maximum marginal rates, including any excise taxes imposed by Section 4999 of the Code) one dollar ($1) less than the amount of the Payments that would subject the Participant to the Excise Tax (the “Safe Harbor Cap”) if, and only if, such reduction would result in the Participant receiving a higher net after-tax amount. Unless the Participant shall have given prior written notice specifying a different order to the Company to effectuate the Safe Harbor Cap, the Payments to be reduced hereunder will be determined in a manner which has the least economic cost to the Participant and, to the extent the economic cost is equivalent, will be reduced in the inverse order of when the Payment would have been made to the Participant until the reduction specified herein is achieved. The Participant’s right to specify the order of reduction of the Payments shall apply only to
the extent that it does not directly or indirectly alter the time or method of payment of any amount that is deferred compensation subject to (and not exempt from) Section 409A.
(b)All determinations required to be made under this Section 9, including whether and when the Safe Harbor Cap is required and the amount of the reduction of the Payments pursuant to the Safe Harbor Cap and the assumptions to be utilized in arriving at such determination, shall be made by a public accounting firm or consulting firm that is retained by the Company as of the date immediately prior to the Change in Control (the “Determination Firm”) which shall provide detailed supporting calculations both to the Company and the Participant within fifteen (15) business days of the receipt of notice from the Company or the Participant that there has been a Payment, or such earlier time as is requested by the Company (collectively, the “Determination”). In the event that the Determination Firm is serving as accountant or auditor for the individual, entity or group effecting the Change in Control, an independent accounting firm selected by the Company may be appointed to make the determinations required hereunder (which accounting firm shall then be referred to as the Determination Firm hereunder). All fees and expenses of the Determination Firm shall be borne solely by the Company. The Determination by the Determination Firm shall be final, binding and conclusive upon the Company and the Participant. To the extent a Participant’s reasonable out-of-pocket expenses are reimbursed by the Company, the Participant shall cooperate with any reasonable requests by the Company in connection with any contests or disputes with the Internal Revenue Service in connection with the Excise Tax.
10.Successors; Binding Agreement.
(a)This Plan will survive any Change in Control, and the provisions of this Plan will be binding upon the surviving corporation, which will be treated as the Company hereunder. The benefits provided under this Plan shall inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the Participant’s personal or legal representatives, executors, administrators, successors, heirs, distributees, devisees and legatees. If the Participant dies while any amounts would be payable to the Participant hereunder had the Participant continued to live, all such amounts, unless otherwise provided herein, shall be paid in accordance with the terms of this Plan to such person or persons appointed in writing by the Participant to receive such amounts or, if no person is so appointed, to the Participant’s estate.
(b)The Company agrees that concurrently with any Business Combination (other than a Non-Control Transaction), it will cause any successor or transferee unconditionally to assume, by written instrument delivered to the Participant (or the Participant’s beneficiary or estate), all of the obligations of the Company hereunder. Failure of the Company to obtain such assumption prior to the effectiveness of any such Business Combination shall constitute Good Reason hereunder. For purposes of implementing the foregoing, (i) the date on which any such Business Combination becomes effective shall be deemed the date Good Reason occurs, and (ii) the Participant shall be entitled to terminate employment for Good Reason immediately prior to the time the Business Combination becomes effective and receive compensation and other benefits from the Company in the same amount and on the same terms as the Participant would have been entitled hereunder if the Participant’s employment were terminated for Good Reason during the CIC Termination Period.
11.Notice. For purposes of this Plan, all notices and other communications required or permitted hereunder must be in writing and will be deemed to have been duly given when (i) delivered by hand or (ii) two (2) business days after deposit in the United States mail, certified and return receipt requested, postage prepaid and addressed as follows:

or to such other address as either party may have furnished to the other in writing in accordance herewith, except that notices of change of address shall be effective only upon receipt.
12.Full Settlement; Resolution of Disputes and Costs.
(a)In no event will the Participant be obligated to seek other employment or take other action by way of mitigation of the amounts payable to the Participant under any of the provisions of this Plan and except as provided in Section 3(a)(iii) and Section 8(g), such amounts shall not be reduced whether or not the Participant obtains other employment.
(b)Subject to Section 17 and to the fullest extent permitted by law, any dispute or controversy arising under or in connection with this Plan shall be settled exclusively by arbitration and pursuant to the following:
(i)Any arbitration shall be conducted before one (1) neutral arbitrator selected by the Company and the Participant (each, a “Party” and collectively, the “Parties”) under the JAMS Employment Arbitration Rules & Procedures then in effect.
(ii)Either Party may initiate arbitration by making a written request to arbitrate to the other Party listing the claim(s) to be arbitrated. Requests to the Company and requests to the Participant shall be delivered pursuant to Section 11 of this Plan. The arbitration shall take place in the county where the Participant was last employed by the Company. The Company shall pay the arbitrator’s fees and any other administrative fees related to the arbitration.
(iii)The arbitrator shall apply applicable law to determine issues of liability and damages regarding all claims to be arbitrated. The arbitrator is authorized to award any remedy or relief that would have been available to the Parties had the matter been heard in court. The decision of the arbitrator shall be in writing and shall provide the reasons for the arbitrator’s award. The arbitrator’s authority to resolve disputes and make awards under this Plan is limited to disputes between (A) the Participant as an individual and the Company; and (B) the Participant as an individual and any current or former officer, director, representative, and/or agent for conduct within the scope of his or her employment with the Company, which includes all parents and subsidiaries of the Company. No arbitration award or decision will have any preclusive effect as to issues or claims in any dispute with anyone who is not a named party to the arbitration. This arbitration provision shall not be construed to deprive a party of any substantive right preserved by law.
13.Employment with Subsidiaries. Employment with the Company for purposes of this Plan shall include employment with any Subsidiary.
14.Survival. The respective obligations and benefits afforded to the Company and the Participant as provided in Sections 3 (to the extent that payments or benefits are owed as a result of a termination of employment that occurs during the term of this Plan), 4, 5, 6 and 8 shall survive the termination of this Plan.
15.GOVERNING LAW; VALIDITY. EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT THIS PLAN IS SUBJECT TO ERISA, THE INTERPRETATION, CONSTRUCTION AND PERFORMANCE OF THIS PLAN SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED AND ENFORCED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE INTERNAL LAWS OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA, WITHOUT REGARD TO THE PRINCIPLE OF CONFLICTS OF LAWS, AND APPLICABLE FEDERAL LAWS. THE INVALIDITY OR UNENFORCEABILITY OF ANY PROVISION OF THIS PLAN SHALL NOT AFFECT THE VALIDITY OR ENFORCEABILITY OF
ANY OTHER PROVISION OF THIS PLAN, WHICH OTHER PROVISIONS SHALL REMAIN IN FULL FORCE AND EFFECT.
16.Amendment and Termination. The Committee may amend or terminate the Plan at any time without the consent of the Participants; provided, however, the Plan may not be amended, modified, suspended or terminated except with the express written consent of each Participant who would be adversely affected by any such amendment, modification, suspension or termination, and provided, further, that that any termination or amendments to the Plan that are adverse to the interests of any Participant and made in anticipation of a Change in Control will give a Participant the right to enforce his or her rights pursuant to Section 18. Notwithstanding the foregoing, during the period commencing on a Change in Control and ending on the second (2nd) anniversary of the Change in Control, no Participant’s participation hereunder may be terminated and the Plan may not be terminated or amended in any manner which is materially adverse to the interests of any Participant without the prior written consent of such Participant.
17.Interpretation and Administration. The Plan shall be administered by the Committee (or any successor committee). The Committee (or any successor committee) will have the authority (i) to exercise all of the powers granted to it under the Plan, (ii) to construe, interpret and implement the Plan, (iii) to prescribe, amend and rescind rules and regulations relating to the Plan, (iv) to make all determinations necessary or advisable in administration of the Plan, (v) to correct any defect, supply any omission and reconcile any inconsistency in the Plan, (vi) to delegate its responsibilities and authority hereunder to a subcommittee of the Committee, and (vii) with respect to Participants who are not officers, to delegate its responsibilities and authority hereunder to a person or group of persons who is employed by the Company. Actions of the Board or the Committee (or any successor committee) shall be taken by a majority vote of its members. All determinations by the Committee (or any successor committee) shall be made in the Committee’s reasonable discretion; provided, however, that any arbitrator or arbitration panel that adjudicates any dispute, controversy or claim arising between a Participant and the Company, or any of their delegates or successors, in respect of any such determinations, will apply a de novo standard of review to any determinations made by such person. Such de novo standard shall apply notwithstanding the grant of full discretion hereunder to the Board or the Committee or characterization of any such decision by the Board or the Committee as final, binding or conclusive on any party.
18.Claims and Appeals. Participants may submit claims for benefits by giving notice to the Committee pursuant to Section 11 of this Plan. If a Participant believes that he or she has not received coverage or benefits to which he or she is entitled under the Plan, the Participant may notify the Committee in writing of a claim for coverage or benefits pursuant to Section 11 of this Plan. If the claim for coverage or benefits is denied in whole or in part, the Committee shall notify the Participant in writing of such denial within thirty (30) days (which may be extended to sixty (60) days under special circumstances), with such notice setting forth: (i) the specific reasons for the denial; (ii) the Plan provisions upon which the denial is based; (iii) any additional material or information necessary for the Participant to perfect his or her claim; and (iv) the procedures for requesting a review of the denial. Upon a denial of a claim by the Committee, the Participant may: (x) request a review of the denial by the Committee or, where review authority has been so delegated, by such other person or entity as may be designated by the Committee for this purpose; (y) review any Plan documents relevant to his or her claim; and (z) submit issues and comments to the Committee or its delegate that are relevant to the review. Any request for review must be made in writing and received by the Committee or its delegate within sixty (60) days of the date the Participant received notice of the initial denial, unless special circumstances require an extension of time for processing. The Committee or its delegate will make a written ruling on the Participant’s request for review setting forth the reasons for the decision and the Plan provisions upon which the denial, if appropriate, is based. This written ruling shall be made within thirty (30) days of the date the Committee or its delegate receives the Participant’s request for review unless special circumstances require an extension of time for processing, in which case, a decision will be rendered as soon as possible, but not later than sixty (60) days after receipt of the request for review. All extensions of time permitted by this Section 18 will be permitted at the sole discretion of the Committee or its delegate. If the Committee does not provide the Participant with
written notice of the denial of his or her appeal, the Participant’s claim shall be deemed denied. Notice provided to the Company under Section 11 of this Plan shall constitute notice to the Committee.
19.Type of Plan. This Plan is intended to be, and shall be interpreted as, an unfunded employee welfare plan under Section 3(1) of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (“ERISA”) and Section 2520.104-24 of the Department of Labor Regulations, maintained primarily for the purpose of providing employee welfare benefits, to the extent that it provides welfare benefits, and under Sections 201, 301 and 401 of ERISA, as a plan that is unfunded and maintained primarily for the purpose of providing deferred compensation, to the extent that it provides such compensation, in each case, for a select group of management or highly compensated employees (i.e., a “top hat” plan).
20.Non-Assignability. Benefits under the Plan may not be assigned by the Participant. The terms and conditions of the Plan shall be binding on the successors and assigns of the Company.
21.Effect on Other Plans, Agreements and Benefits. Except to the extent expressly set forth herein, any benefit or compensation to which a Participant is entitled under any agreement between the Participant and the Company or under any plan maintained by the Company in which the Participant participates or participated will not be modified or lessened in any way, but will be payable according to the terms of the applicable plan or agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any benefits received by a Participant pursuant to this Plan will be in lieu of any severance benefits to which the Participant would otherwise be entitled under any general severance policy or other severance plan maintained by the Company for its officers or employees and, upon consummation of a Change in Control, Participants will in no event be entitled to participate in any such severance policy or other severance plan maintained by the Company for its officers or employees.
22.Section 409A.
(a)The Plan is intended to comply with the requirements of Section 409A or an exemption or exclusion therefrom and, with respect to amounts that are subject to Section 409A, will in all respects be administered in accordance with Section 409A. To the extent that any provision in this Plan is ambiguous as to its compliance with Section 409A or to the extent any provision in this Plan must be modified to comply with Section 409A, such provision will be read, or will be modified, in such a manner so that all payments due under this Plan will comply with Section 409A. Any payments that qualify for the “short-term deferral” exception or another exception under Section 409A will be paid under the applicable exception. Each payment of compensation under this Plan will be treated as a separate payment of compensation for purposes of Section 409A. All payments to be made upon a termination of employment under this Plan may only be made upon a “separation from service” under Section 409A. In no event may a Participant, directly or indirectly, designate the calendar year of any payment under this Plan.
(b)Notwithstanding any other provision of this Plan, to the extent that the right to any payment (including the provision of benefits) hereunder provides for the “deferral of compensation” within the meaning of Section 409A(d)(1) of the Code and the Participant is subject to Section 409A, the payment shall be paid (or provided) in accordance with the following:
(i)If the Participant is a “Specified Employee” on the Date of Termination, and if a payment is required to be delayed pursuant to Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i) of the Code, then no such payment shall be made or commence during the period beginning on the Date of Termination and ending on the date that is six (6) months following the Date of Termination or, if earlier, on the date of the Participant’s death, if the earlier making of such payment would result in tax penalties being imposed on the Participant under Section 409A. The amount of any payment that otherwise would be paid to the Participant hereunder during this period shall instead be paid to the Participant on the first (1st) business day coincident with or next following the date that is six (6) months and one (1) day following the Date of Termination or, if earlier, within ninety (90) days following the death of the Participant.
(ii)Payments with respect to reimbursements of expenses shall be made promptly, but in any event on or before the last day of the calendar year following the calendar year in which the relevant expense is incurred. The amount of expenses eligible for reimbursement during a calendar year may not affect the expenses eligible for reimbursement in any other calendar year, and any right to reimbursement is not subject to liquidation or exchange for cash or another benefit.
23.Certain Reductions; Recoupment. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, any payments or benefits payable to a Participant under this Plan are subject to reduction to the extent that such payment or benefit would exceed the amount permitted to be paid under any applicable Company policy as may be in effect from time to time. Notwithstanding anything in this Plan to the contrary, in no event shall any payment or benefit under this Plan be paid, provided or accrued, if any such payment, provision or accrual would be in violation of applicable law, rule or regulation (“Applicable Law”). In addition, to the extent that any provision of Applicable Law or any recoupment policy or practice of the Company as in effect from time to time requires any payments or benefits paid (or provided or to be paid or provided) to a Participant to be forfeited or recouped from the Participant, each such payment or benefit shall be subject to forfeiture or recoupment, as applicable, and such Participant’s right to receive or retain each such payment or benefit shall terminate.

(h)“Code” means the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.
(i)“Company” means Banc of California, Inc.
(j)“Competitive Business” means any business, person or entity that is engaged, or planning or contemplating to engage within a period of twelve (12) months, in any business activity that is competitive with the business and business activities engaged in by the Covered Unit(s).

(l)“Covered Unit(s)” means: (i) during the period of the Participant’s employment with the Company, each business unit of the Company; and (ii) following the Date of Termination, each business unit of the Company in or for which the Participant was employed or to which the Participant provided services or about which the Participant obtained or had access to Confidential Information, in each case of this clause (ii) at any time within the twenty-four (24)-month period prior to the Date of Termination.
(m)“Customer” means, with respect to the Company or the Covered Unit(s), as the case may be, any business, person or entity who purchased any products or services from the Company or such Covered Unit(s) at any time during the preceding twenty-four (24) months (or, if after the Date of Termination, the last twenty-four (24) months of the Participant’s employment with the Company) and either with whom the Participant dealt in the course of performing the Participant’s job duties for the Company or about whom the Participant has or had Confidential Information.

(o)“Disability” means the absence of a Participant from the Participant’s duties with the Company on a full-time basis for ninety (90) consecutive days, or a total of one hundred and eighty (180) days in any twelve-month period, as a result of incapacity due to mental or physical illness which is determined to be total and permanent by a physician selected by the Company or its insurers and acceptable to the Participant or the Participant’s legal representative.

(i)a material diminution in the Participant’s title, authority, duties or responsibilities; or
(ii)a material breach by the Company of any employment agreement with the Participant (other than a breach resulting from a reduction in compensation or benefits that is required by a regulatory authority or applicable law or as otherwise permitted thereunder);
provided, that, to invoke a termination with Good Reason, the Participant shall provide written notice to the Company of the existence of one (1) or more of the conditions described in clause (i) or (ii) within sixty (60) days following the initial existence of such condition or conditions, and the Company shall have thirty (30) days following receipt of such written notice (the “Cure Period”) during which it may remedy the condition if such condition is reasonably subject to cure.

Notwithstanding anything in this Plan to the contrary, in the event of a Change in Control, should the Chief Executive Officer of the Company remain the Chief Executive Officer of the combined entities following a Change in Control, “Good Reason” shall not include any change in title or change in reporting structure, provided the Participant has no material diminution in duties or responsibilities, or material reduction in benefits or compensation, relative to his or her position prior to the Change in Control transaction. For the avoidance of doubt, a reduction in benefits shall not constitute “Good Reason” so long as any such reduction is applicable to all covered persons under such benefit plan as part of a change in benefit plans or providers.
(q)“Potential Customer” means, with respect to the Company or the Covered Unit(s), as the case may be, any business, person or entity targeted during the preceding twelve (12) months (or, if after the Date of Termination, the last twelve (12) months of the Participant’s employment with the Company) as a customer to purchase any products or services from the Company or such Covered Unit(s) and (i) with whom the Participant had direct or indirect contact, (ii) for whom the Participant participated in the development or execution of the plan to sell products or services of the Company or such Covered Unit(s), or (iii) about whom the Participant otherwise has or had Confidential Information.

(s)“Qualifying Termination” means a termination of the Participant’s employment with the Company (i) by the Company other than for Cause or (ii) by the Participant for Good Reason. Termination of the Participant’s employment on account of death, Disability, by the Company for Cause or by the Participant other than for Good Reason shall not be treated as a Qualifying Termination. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, the death of the Participant after notice of termination for Good Reason or without Cause has been
validly provided shall be deemed to be a Qualifying Termination.
(t)“Solicit” and “Soliciting” mean any direct or indirect communication of any kind, regardless of who initiates it, that in any way invites, advises, encourages or requests any person to take or refrain from taking any actions; provided, for purposes of Section 8(a), the term “Solicit” excludes the placement of general advertisements inviting applications for employment that are not targeted to employees of the Company generally or any specific employees of the Company.
(u)“Subsidiary” means any corporation or other entity in which the Company has a direct or indirect ownership interest of fifty (50%) or more of the total combined voting power of the then-outstanding securities or interests of such corporation or other entity entitled to vote generally in the election of directors (or members of any similar governing body) or in which the Company has the right to receive fifty (50%) or more of the distribution of profits or fifty (50%) of the assets or liquidation or dissolution.
