Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement
On August 26, 2005, First Community Bancorp (the “Company”) entered into purchase agreements with 13 institutional accredited investors in connection with the sale of 744,680 shares of its common stock at an aggregate offering price of approximately $35.0 million, or a price of $47.00 per share. The Company did not engage an underwriter or placement agent for the transaction. The sale transactions closed the same day.
The Company intends to use the proceeds from the sales of its common stock to provide capital for the acquisition of First American Bank, completed on August 12, 2005 for a purchase price of $62.3 million in cash, as well as to finance future acquisitions and for general corporate purposes.
The Company effectuated the sales pursuant to a shelf registration on Form S-3 (File No. 333-124948) declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission on June 8, 2005. The Company filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission a prospectus supplement on August 26, 2005 for this offering pursuant to Rule 424(b)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”).
This filing is neither an offer to sell nor the solicitation of an offer to buy the securities described herein, nor shall there be any sale of these securities in any state or jurisdiction in which such an offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification under the securities law of any such state or jurisdiction. The offering may be made only by means of the prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus. The foregoing description of the offering does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the form of purchase agreement, attached hereto as Exhibit 10.32 and incorporated herein by reference.
