ITEM 8.01 OTHER EVENTS
On April 7, 2025, Pacific Premier Bancorp, Inc. (the “Company”) furnished a proxy statement (the “Proxy Statement”) to its stockholders for the Company’s Annual Meeting of Stockholders to be held on May 19, 2025, including a proposal to approve an amendment to the Company’s Amended and Restated 2022 Long-Term Incentive Plan (the “Plan”) to increase the number of shares available for grant under the Plan by 2,000,000 shares (the “Amendment”). The Amendment is Proposal 3 in the Proxy Statement (“Proposal 3”).
Today, the Company is providing supplemental information to help shareholders and proxy advisory firm, Institutional Shareholder Services Inc. (“ISS”), in evaluating Proposal 3. Specifically, the Company is providing updated information regarding the shares available under the Plan as of March 31, 2025 (115,255), which as the result of our annual grants made in the first quarter of 2025 is significantly less than the number of shares available under the Plan as of December 31, 2024 (1,000,329). ISS’s initial recommendation on Proposal 3 was based on the shares remaining available for issuance under the Plan as of December 31, 2024. Using the number of shares available as of March 31, 2025 is more current and results in lower cost of Plan assessments, including dilution and Shareholder Value Transfer.
The Company provides the following information:
Number of Shares Available for Grant under the Plan: As of March 31, 2025, 115,255 shares remained reserved and available for issuance with respect to new awards under the Plan. The Plan does not include any fungible share counting provisions.
Number of Awards Outstanding: As of March 31, 2025, the following awards were outstanding under the Plan:
(i) options with respect to 30,000 shares with a weighted average exercise price of $20.67 and a weighted average remaining term of 0.87 years, and
(ii) full value awards with respect to 2,504,097 shares.
As of March 31, 2025, there were no unvested shares issued in lieu of cash compensation. Company RSUs are settled with Company stock.
Common Stock Outstanding: As of March 31, 2025, total common stock outstanding was 97,069,001 shares.
Overhang: As of March 31, 2025, 2,537,701 shares were subject to outstanding Company awards (33,604 options, 1,978,201 restricted shares, and 525,896 performance-based RSUs), resulting in an overhang of approximately 2.66%. If an additional 2,000,000 shares are reserved for issuance under the Plan, the overhang would be approximately 4.57%.
