Banc of California, Inc. Announces Expiration and Results of Tender Offer for Certain Outstanding Depositary Shares

Banc of California, Inc. (the "Company") BANC announced today the expiration and results, as shown in the table below, for its previously announced cash tender offer (the "Offer") to purchase using up to $75,000,000 (the "Maximum Aggregate Purchase Amount") the securities listed in the table below (the "Securities").

The Offer expired on August 21, 2019 at 11:59 p.m., New York City time (the "Expiration Date"). As of the Expiration Date, holders of the Securities had validly tendered and not validly withdrawn the liquidation preference amounts set forth in the table above. The Company has accepted the aggregate liquidation preference amounts for each series of Securities set forth in the table above. Because the total consideration required to purchase all Securities validly tendered and not validly withdrawn is less than the Maximum Aggregate Purchase Amount, the Company has accepted for purchase 100% of such Securities.

The total consideration for each Series E Depositary Share tendered and accepted for purchase pursuant to the Offer will equal $26.80, plus Accrued Dividends. The consideration for each Series D Depositary Share tendered and accepted for purchase pursuant to the Offer will equal $26.04, plus Accrued Dividends. The aggregate total consideration, including Accrued Dividends, payable by the Company for the Securities accepted for purchase is $46,004,555.61. "Accrued Dividends" means, for each Security, accrued and unpaid dividends from the last dividend payment date with respect to such Security up to, but not including, the settlement date of the Offer. The Company expects that the settlement date for the Offer will be August 23, 2019.

Pursuant to Rule 13e-4(c)(2) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, the Company has filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") an Issuer Tender Offer Statement on Schedule TO, which contains additional information with respect to the Offer.
