This Amendment No. 3 (this “Amendment No. 3”) amends and supplements the Tender Offer Statement on Schedule TO originally filed by Banc of California, Inc., a Maryland corporation (the “Company”), with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on July 25, 2019, as previously amended (as so amended, the “Schedule TO”). The Schedule TO relates to the offer by the Company to purchase, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Offer to Purchase, dated July 25, 2019 (as it may be amended or supplemented from time to time, the “Offer to Purchase”) and in the related Letter of Transmittal (as it may be amended or supplemented from time to time, the “Letter of Transmittal,” and together with the Offer to Purchase, the “Offer”), the Company’s outstanding (a) depositary shares each representing a 1/40th ownership interest in a share of 7.00% Non-Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock, Series E, with a liquidation preference of $1,000.00 per share (equivalent to $25.00 per depositary share) (the “Series E Depositary Shares”) and (b) depositary shares each representing a 1/40th ownership interest in a share of 7.375% Non-Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock, Series D, with a liquidation preference of $1,000.00 per share (equivalent to $25.00 per depositary share) (the “Series D Depositary Shares”, and together with the Series E Depositary Shares, the “Securities”), in an amount such that the amount of cash, including Accrued Dividends (as defined in the Offer to Purchase), used to purchase such Securities accepted for purchase by the Company shall not exceed $75,000,000.
Only those items amended are reported in this Amendment No. 3. Except as specifically provided herein, the information contained in the Schedule TO, the Offer to Purchase and the Letter of Transmittal remains unchanged and this Amendment No. 3 does not modify any of the information previously reported on Schedule TO and in the Offer to Purchase or the Letter of Transmittal. You should read Amendment No. 3 together with the Schedule TO, the Offer to Purchase and the Letter of Transmittal.

Offer to Purchase (Exhibit 99(A)(1)(A) to the Schedule TO)
The Offer to Purchase is hereby amended as follows:
Cover
The sentence beginning with “As used in this Offer to Purchase, “Accrued Dividends”” on the second page of the cover of the Offer to Purchase is deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following:
“As used in this Offer to Purchase, “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 (as defined herein), assuming for the purposes of the Offer that such a dividend for such Security had, in fact, been declared.”
Conditions of the Offer
The section of the Offer to Purchase entitled “Conditions of the Offer” is hereby amended as set forth below.
In the first paragraph in this section on page 16 of the Offer to Purchase, the words “(other than actions or inactions of the Company)” are inserted after the word “events” and before the comma after the word “events,” as follows:
“regardless of the circumstances giving rise to the event or events (other than actions or inactions of the Company), make it advisable…”.
The first sub-bullet below the third bullet on page 16 of the Offer to Purchase is deleted and replaced with the following:
“any general suspension of trading in, or the imposition of any general trading curb or general minimum or maximum price limits on prices for, trading in securities on any U.S. national securities exchange or in the over-the-counter market.”
The third sub-bullet below the third bullet on page 16 of the Offer to Purchase is deleted and replaced with the following:
“the commencement of any war, armed hostilities or other international calamity, including any act of terrorism, on or after the date of this Offer to Purchase, in or involving the United States, or the material escalation of any such armed hostilities which had commenced before the date of this Offer to Purchase, in each case which is reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on the Company or on the Company’s ability to complete the Offer.”
The final clause of the fifth sub-bullet below the third bullet on page 16 of the Offer to Purchase is deleted and replaced with the following:



______________________________________________________________________________________________________


“, or there is an adverse change in the anticipated enhanced capital structure anticipated to result from the Offer (see Section 2 - “Purpose of the Offer” - of this Offer to Purchase for a description of the contemplated benefits of the Offer to the Company).”
The following sentence is hereby inserted as the new penultimate sentence in the final paragraph of this section on page 17:
“Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that one or more events described above occurs before the Expiration Date, the Company will, as promptly as practical, notify the holders of Securities of the Company’s determination as to whether to (i) waive or modify, in whole or in part, the condition and continue the Offer or (ii) terminate the Offer.”
