(d) Appointment of a New Director

On February 10, 2021, CVB Financial Corp. (the “Company”) announced the appointment of Ms. Jane Olvera as a Board Member, effective as of the same date. Ms. Olvera was also named a Director of Citizens Business Bank (the “Bank”), the wholly-owned banking subsidiary of the Company. Ms. Olvera will serve on the Audit Committee, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, and the Compensation Committee of the Company. In addition, Ms. Olvera will serve on the Risk Management Committee, the Balance Sheet Management Committee and the Trust Services Committee of the Bank.

Ms. Olvera will be paid a $70,000 annual directors’ fee. It is expected that Ms. Olvera will receive her initial grant of restricted stock in her capacity as a director of the Company at the same time and in the same amount as the Company’s other directors receive their annual grants of restricted stock for the Company’s 2021 fiscal year. There are no transactions or agreements between Ms. Olvera and the Company or the Bank required to be disclosed pursuant to Item 404(a) of Regulation S-K.

In connection with Ms. Olvera’s appointment, the Company and the Bank have each expanded the memberships of their respective Boards of Directors from nine to ten directors, which in each case is within the ranges set forth in the Company’s and the Bank’s respective By-laws. This expansion will help each of the Boards enhance its director skill set mix, geographic representation and diversity.

The press release announcing Ms. Olvera’s appointment is attached as Exhibit No. 99.1 to this Form 8-K and incorporated herein by reference.
