CVB FINANCIAL CORP. (NASDAQ:CVBF) Files An 8-K Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security HoldersItem 5.07 Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders.

On June21, 2018, CVB Financial Corp., a California corporation (the “Company”), held a special meeting of shareholders (the “Special Meeting”) to consider and vote upon:

(i) a proposal (the “Merger Proposal”) to approve the principal terms of the Agreement and Plan of Reorganization and Merger, dated as of February26, 2018, by and among the Company, Citizens Business Bank and Community Bank (the “Merger Agreement”) and the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, including the merger of Community Bank with and into Citizens Business Bank (the “Merger”), with Citizens Business Bank surviving the Merger, and the issuance of the Company’s common stock to Community Bank shareholders in connection with the Merger; and

(ii) a proposal (the Adjournment Proposal”) to adjourn the Special Meeting to another time or place, if necessary or appropriate, to permit, among other things, further solicitation of proxies if necessary to obtain additional votes in favor of the Merger Proposal.

As of May3, 2018, the record date for the Special Meeting, there were 110,262,742 shares of the Company’s common stock outstanding and eligible to vote. 83,107,403 shares were present and counted toward a quorum at the Special Meeting. 83,107,403 shares (or 75.37% of the shares outstanding) were voted.

The Company’s shareholders approved the Merger Proposal, which required the affirmative vote of holders of at least a majority of the shares of the Company’s common stock outstanding on the record date.

The voting results for the Merger Proposal, including the votes for and against, and any abstentions or broker non-votes, are as follows.

* Abstentions were included in determining the number of shares present at the Special Meeting for the purpose of determining the presence of a quorum. Since none of the proposals to be voted on at the Special Meeting were routine matters for which brokers may have discretionary authority to vote, broker non-votes were not counted as represented for purposes of establishing a quorum at the Special Meeting.

As sufficient votes were cast in favor of the Merger Proposal, the Adjournment Proposal was not acted upon at the Special Meeting.
