NOTES TO UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED
CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL INFORMATION

 

Note 1 — Explanation of the Merger

 

On January 30, 2024, Southern California Bancorp (“SCB”) announced the execution of a definitive merger agreement with California BanCorp (“CBC”), the holding company for California Bank of Commerce (“CBC Bank”), pursuant to which the companies combined in an all-stock merger valued at approximately $216.6 million, or $25.11 per share of CBC, based on the closing price of SCB common stock of $15.79 on July 31, 2024 (the “Merger Closing Date”). Under the terms of the definitive agreement, which was unanimously approved by the boards of directors of SCB and CBC, each outstanding share of CBC common stock was exchanged for the right to receive 1.590 shares of SCB common stock.

 

For each CBC outstanding (vested and unvested) stock option, it was cancelled and the holder of such option received an amount in cash (the “Option Consideration”) equal to the product of (i) the total number of shares subject to such option and (ii) the excess, if any, of (A) a 10-day volume weighted average closing price of shares of SCB common stock of $14.45 times the 1.590 exchange ratio (the “Option Cashout Price” of $22.98) over (B) the exercise price per share under such option. Any CBC outstanding stock option which had an exercise price per share greater than or equal to the Option Cashout Price was cancelled for no consideration or payment. The cash payment for stock options that vested prior to the merger closing date of $1.4 million is included in purchase consideration. The cash payment for non-vested stock options as of the Merger Closing Date of $284 thousand was recorded as an expense of the combined company on the closing date.

 

Additionally, each CBC restricted stock unit (“RSU”) that was outstanding immediately prior to the merger, (i) if granted to a departing non-employee member of the Board of Directors of CBC was fully vested and cancelled and converted automatically into the right to receive (without interest) that number of shares, adjusted by the exchange ratio, of SCB Common Stock and (ii) for all other holders of outstanding RSUs was assumed and converted into a restricted stock unit, adjusted by the exchange ratio, in respect of SCB Common Stock with the same terms and conditions as were applicable to the RSU immediately prior to the merger (collectively, (i) and (ii) referred to as the “Restricted Stock Consideration”). The fair value for the portion of of RSUs that is attributable to pre-combination vesting for a) non-continuing directors whose unvested awards automatically converted under the merger agreement of $3 thousand and b) non-continuing employees whose unvested awards were accelerated upon closing of the merger of $820 thousand is included in purchase consideration. The fair value for the portion of these awards that is attributable to post-combination vesting of $1.1 million is included in expense of combined company upon merger closing.

 

The fair value of the remaining converted RSUs for continuing directors, executives and employees for the portion of the awards that is attributable to pre-combination vesting of $1.3 million is included in restricted stock purchase consideration. The fair value of these converted RSUs for the portion of the awards that is attributable to post-combination vesting of $3.4 million will be recognized as stock-based compensation expense over the remaining vesting periods.

 

As a result of the transaction, SCB shareholders own approximately 58% of the outstanding shares of the combined company and CBC shareholders owned approximately 42% of the outstanding shares of the combined company as of July 31, 2024. The transaction closed on July 31, 2024, upon satisfaction of customary closing conditions, including receipt of required regulatory approvals and approvals from SCB and CBC shareholders.

 

Note 2 – Basis of Presentation

 

The accompanying unaudited pro forma combined condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes were prepared in accordance with Article 11 of Regulation S-X. The accompanying unaudited pro forma combined condensed consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2024 combines the historical consolidated balance sheets of SCB and CBC, giving effect to the merger as if it had been completed on June 30, 2024. The unaudited pro forma combined condensed consolidated statements of income for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and year ended December 31, 2023 combines the historical consolidated statements of income of SCB and CBC, giving effect to the merger as if it had been completed on January 1, 2023.

 

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined consolidated financial information is not necessarily indicative of what the combined company’s balance sheet or income statements actually would have been had the transaction been completed as of the dates indicated, nor do they purport to project the future financial position or operating results of the combined company. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined consolidated financial information is presented for illustrative purposes only and does not reflect the costs of any integration activities or cost savings or synergies that may be achieved as a result of the transaction. SCB and CBC have not had any historical material relationship prior to the transaction. Accordingly, no pro forma adjustments were required to eliminate activities between the companies.

 

SCB’s and CBC’s historical financial statements were prepared in accordance with GAAP. Certain reclassifications were made to align SCB’s and CBC’s financial statement presentation. SCB has not identified all adjustments necessary to conform CBC’s accounting policies to SCB’s accounting policies. Upon completion of the merger, or as more information becomes available, the combined company will perform a more detailed review of CBC’s accounting policies. As a result of that review, differences could be identified between the accounting policies of the two companies that, when combined, could have a material impact on the combined company’s financial information.

 

 
 

 

The accompanying unaudited pro forma combined condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes were prepared using the acquisition method of accounting under the provisions of ASC 805, with SCB considered to be the acquirer of CBC. ASC 805 requires, among other things, that the assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination be recognized at their fair values as of the acquisition date. For purposes of the unaudited pro forma combined condensed consolidated balance sheet, the purchase consideration has been allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed of CBC based upon management’s preliminary estimate of their fair values as of June 30, 2024. SCB has not completed the valuation analysis and calculations in sufficient detail necessary to arrive at the required estimates of the fair value of CBC assets to be acquired or liabilities assumed, other than a preliminary estimate for intangible assets and certain financial assets and financial liabilities. Accordingly, apart from the aforementioned, certain CBC assets and liabilities are presented at their respective carrying amounts and should be treated as preliminary values. Any differences between the fair value of the consideration transferred and the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed will be recorded as goodwill. Accordingly, the purchase price allocation and related adjustments reflected in these unaudited pro forma combined condensed consolidated financial statements are preliminary and subject to revision based on final determination of fair value.
