On July 1, 2018, Pacific Premier Bancorp, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“PPBI”), completed its previously-announced merger (the “Merger”) with Grandpoint Capital, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Grandpoint”), to an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization (the “Merger Agreement”), dated as of February 9, 2018, by and between PPBI and Grandpoint. At the effective time of the Merger, Grandpoint was merged with and into PPBI, with PPBI as the surviving corporation, which was immediately followed by the merger of Grandpoint’s wholly-owned bank subsidiary, Grandpoint Bank, with and into Pacific Premier Bank (“Pacific Premier”), the wholly-owned bank subsidiary of PPBI, with Pacific Premier as the surviving bank.
to the terms of the Merger Agreement, each holder of Grandpoint voting common stock, $0.01 par value per share, and Grandpoint non-voting common stock, $0.01 par value per share, which are collectively referred to as “Grandpoint Common Stock,” has the right to receive 0.4750 of a share of PPBI common stock, par value $0.01 per share (“PPBI Common Stock”), for each share of Grandpoint Common Stock held immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger, with cash to be paid in lieu of fractional shares (the “Merger Consideration”).At the effective time of the Merger, all outstanding stock options of Grandpoint became fully vested and were cancelled and settled in cash, as provided for in the Merger Agreement. Each outstanding share of PPBI Common Stock remained outstanding and was unaffected by the Merger.
to such terms, PPBI will issue approximately 15,758,089 shares of PPBI Common Stock valued at
$38.15 per share, which was the closing price of PPBI Common Stock on June29, 2018, the last trading day prior to the consummation of the Merger. The value of the total transaction consideration was approximately $629.2 million, which included approximately $28.0 million in aggregate cash for fractional shares and consideration payable to holders of Grandpoint options in connection with the closing of the Merger.
The foregoing description of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Merger Agreement, attached as Exhibit 2.1 to PPBI’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on February 12, 2018, and incorporated herein by reference.
ITEM 5.02.DEPARTURE OF DIRECTORS OR CERTAIN OFFICERS; ELECTION OF DIRECTORS; APPOINTMENT OF CERTAIN OFFICERS; COMPENSATORY ARRANGEMENTS OF CERTAIN OFFICERS.
The Merger Agreement requires PPBI to take all action necessary to appoint or elect, effective as of the effective time of the Merger, two individuals as directors of PPBI and Pacific Premier, one of whom is required to be Don M. Griffith, who served as the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Grandpoint prior to the effectiveness of the Merger. In addition, M. Christian Mitchell, a director of Grandpoint prior to the effectiveness of the Merger, was proposed as the other director of PPBI and Pacific Premier. Messrs. Griffith and Mitchell are collectively referred to as the “Director Nominees.”
to the terms of the Merger Agreement and in accordance with PPBI’s Amended and Restated Bylaws, on June 28, 2018, the Board of Directors of PPBI (the “Board”) increased the number of members of each of the Board and the Pacific Premier Board of Directors (the “Bank Board”) from nine (9) members to (11) members, effective as of the effective time of the Merger. The Board then appointed each of the Director Nominees to fill the vacancies resulting from such increase in the size of the Board and Bank Board, to serve as directors of PPBI and Pacific Premier, effective as of the effective time of the Merger and until the first annual meeting of shareholders of PPBI and Pacific Premier following the effective time of the Merger and until each such person’s successor is elected and qualified.
Each of the Board and the Bank Board has not yet determined on which committees of the Board and the Bank Board the Director Nominees will serve. Messrs. Griffith and Mitchell will receive the same compensation as currently paid
to our other Board and Bank Board members. A description of the non-employee director compensation arrangement is contained under the heading “Compensation of Non-Employee Directors” in PPBI’s definitive proxy statement filed with the SEC on April 13, 2018 and is incorporated herein by reference.
