Concurrent with the effectiveness of the acquisition, Mr. Ayad A. Fargo and Mr. Zareh H. Sarrafian joined as members of the boards of directors of the Company and the Company’s subsidiary, Pacific Premier Bank (the “Bank”). Neither Mr. Fargo nor Mr. Sarrafian have any special arrangements nor any related transactions with the Company or the Bank and both qualify as an “independent director” in accordance with the rules of the Nasdaq Stock Market.
Mr. Fargo, 55, has served as the President of Biscomerica Corporation, a food manufacturing company based in Rialto, California, since 1984. Prior to joining the Company’s and the Bank’s boards of directors, Mr. Fargo served as a director of Security California Bancorp and Security Bank of California since 2005. Mr. Fargo received his B.S. from Walla Walla University.

In connection with the appointment of Messrs. Fargo and Sarrafian, the Company’s and the Bank’s boards of directors were expanded to ten (10) members. Messrs. Fargo and Sarrafian will be eligible to receive compensation for their services as a director consistent with that provided to the Company’s and the Bank’s other non-employee directors, as previously disclosed in the Company’s definitive proxy statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 27, 2015.
