As part of this transaction, Pacific Western and the FDIC entered into a
loss sharing agreement covering future losses incurred on loans and foreclosed
loan collateral. Under the terms of the loss sharing agreement, the FDIC will
absorb 80 percent of losses and share in 80 percent of loss recoveries.
Under
the terms of the transaction, Pacific Western Bank will acquire certain assets,
including all loans, and assume all deposits.
At June 30, 2010, the latest date for which public information is

County and 4 in San Luis Obispo County, California; the three Arizona branches
are in Maricopa County. Also included
in the acquisition was the Harrington Wealth Management subsidiary of Los
Padres Bank, headquartered in Fishers, Indiana, which provides trust and
investment management services to individuals and institutional clients.
Matt Wagner, CEO of PacWest Bancorp and chairman and CEO of Pacific
Western Bank, commented, "We welcome Los Padres Bank customers to the Pacific
Western Bank family. We look forward to
serving them with the best possible banking products, and providing them with
the safety, strength, customer service and convenience for which Pacific
Western is known".
Mr. Wagner continued, "Los Padres Bank is a great fit for Pacific
Western Bank. Our branch network,
including the Los Padres branches, will now include 82 branches, with 79 in
California extending from San Diego County in the south to San Luis Obispo
County in the north. Combined with our
three branches in Northern California and the three Los Padres branches in
Arizona, we have significant coverage across some of the best banking geography
in the country. Pacific Western has
always focused on financial strength, relationships and service. We look forward to supporting our new
customers as Pacific Western Bank customers".
