Pacific Continental Corporation and Capital Pacific Bancorp Announce Election Deadline

EUGENE, Ore. and PORTLAND, Ore., Feb. 20, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Pacific Continental Corporation PCBK, and Capital Pacific Bancorp CPBO, today jointly announced that the deadline for Capital Pacific shareholders to elect the form of consideration that they will receive upon the closing of the merger of Capital Pacific with and into Pacific Continental (the "Merger") has been set for 5:00 p.m. Pacific Time on February 27, 2015 (the "Election Deadline").

Elections can be made by mailing a completed form of election (the "Election Form"), which was previously mailed to each Capital Pacific shareholder, to Computershare Trust Company, N.A., c/o Voluntary Corporate Actions, P.O. Box 43011, Providence, RI 02940-3011 (the "Exchange Agent"). All inquiries with respect to the completion of the Election Form, including requests for additional copies of the Election Form, may be made directly to Georgeson (the "Information Agent") at 480 Washington Blvd., 26^th floor, Jersey City, NJ 07310; toll free: 888-613-9988. 

If you hold shares of Capital Pacific stock through a broker, bank, trustee, or other nominee, you should contact your broker, bank, trustee or other nominee for instructions on how to make an election or with questions and inquiries with respect to the completion of the Election Form.

Upon completion of the Merger, Capital Pacific shareholders will receive either $16.00 per share in cash or 1.132 shares of Pacific Continental common stock for each share of Capital Pacific common stock or a combination of 40.0% in the form of cash and 60.0% in the form of Pacific Continental common stock. The number of shares of Pacific Continental common stock to be issued to Capital Pacific shareholders is based on a fixed exchange ratio provided that Pacific Continental's stock price remains between $12.01 and $16.25 as measured by the 20-day average closing price of Pacific Continental common stock shortly before closing. The value of the stock portion of the consideration will fluctuate based on the value of Pacific Continental's common stock. To the extent the average closing price of Pacific Continental common stock is outside this price range, then the exchange ratio will adjust.

If a Capital Pacific shareholder fails to submit an Election Form to the Exchange Agent prior to the Election Deadline, or if an Election Form is improperly completed and/or is not signed, such shareholder will be deemed to have made no election and will be issued the form of consideration determined by the Exchange Agent pursuant to the procedures for allocating consideration to no-election shares provided in the Agreement and Plan of Merger, a copy of which is attached as Annex A to the Proxy Statement/Prospectus dated January 20, 2015, previously mailed to Capital Pacific shareholders. 

The transaction has received the requisite approvals from the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, the Oregon Department of Consumer and Business Services – Division of Finance and Corporate Securities, and the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco. Assuming the approval of Capital Pacific shareholders at a meeting scheduled to be held on March 3, 2015, and the satisfaction or waiver of all other conditions precedent to the Merger, the Merger is expected to be completed on or about March 6, 2015.
