1000 Wilshire Suite 1500
Los Angeles, California 90017
(c) The principal occupation, if any, of each of the Additional Reporting Persons who is an individual is indicated in response to Item 2(a), above. None of the Reporting Persons has been convicted in a criminal proceeding during the last five years.
25
(d) None of the Reporting Persons has been party to any civil proceeding of a judicial or administrative body of competent jurisdiction and as a result of such proceeding was or is subject to a judgment, decree, or final order enjoining future violations of, or prohibiting or mandating activities subject to, federal or state securities laws, or finding any violation with respect to such laws during the last five years.
(e) Each natural person identified in this Item 2 is a citizen of the United States. Each entity identified in this Item 2 is organized under the laws of the states set forth in the several cover sheets hereto.
Item 3. Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration
As indicated in the cover sheets above, the shares of common stock were previously acquired by the several Reporting Persons with personal funds, by inheritance, by gift, pursuant to equity compensation plans for the benefit of the employees and directors of the Issuer, or as a result of mergers of banks or bank holding companies in which they had previously invested, into the Issuer or its subsidiary banks.
Item 4. Purpose of Transaction
Item 4 of the Schedule 13D is amended by appending the following information to follow the second paragraph of Item 4 as presented in the Schedule 13D.
On March 15, 2022, the Board removed Reporting Person Lynn B. Fuller from his position as Executive Operating Chairman of the Issuer, a position from which Mr. Fuller had previously notified the Board of his intention to retire following the Issuer’s annual meeting of stockholders scheduled to occur in May 2022. The Reporting Persons believe that this action was taken in retaliation for Mr. Fuller’s position as a member of the Reporting Persons and as a Stockholder Representative, and his opposition to actions by the Board that the Reporting Persons believe reflect the Board’s lack of receptiveness to shareholder engagement.
On April 20, 2022, the Additional Reporting Persons became parties to the Stockholder Agreement. On that same date, Thomas J. Fuller, in his capacity as a designated representative of the collective Reporting Persons, sent to the Board a letter in the form of Exhibit 99.5 expressing concern about the Board’s apparent unwillingness to conduct a thorough, fair and transparent process to seek an acquisition partner that would optimize the value of the organization to the Issuer’s stockholders. The text of such letter is incorporated herein by reference.
Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer
(a) and (b) The Reporting Persons currently hold, in the aggregate, approximately 3,043,512 shares or 7.20% of the outstanding common stock and combined voting power of the Issuer’s common stock, based on 42,278,047 issued and outstanding shares of common stock of the Issuer as of February 23, 2022, as reported by the Issuer on its Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 24, 2022, for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021.
The aggregate number of shares and percentage of common stock outstanding beneficially owned by each Reporting Person and, for each Reporting Person, the number of shares of common stock as to which there is sole power to vote or to direct the vote, shared power to vote or to direct the vote, sole power to dispose or to direct the disposition, or shared power to dispose or to direct the disposition are set forth on Rows 7 through 11 and Row 13 of the cover pages of this Statement and are incorporated herein by reference and summarized in the following table.
As a result of the Stockholder Agreement, the Reporting Persons may be deemed to possess shared voting power over, and therefore beneficially own for purposes of Rule 13d-3, up to an aggregate of 3,043,512 shares of common stock that are beneficially owned collectively by the parties to the Stockholder Agreement corresponding to each Reporting Person as set forth above in this Statement. All such shares that may be deemed to be beneficially owned by the Reporting Persons constitute approximately 7.20% of the issued and outstanding common stock as of April 20, 2022.
26
Neither the filing of this Statement nor any of its contents shall be deemed to constitute an admission that any of the Reporting Persons is the beneficial owner of common stock referred to herein for purposes of Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act or for any other purpose. Each of the Reporting Persons disclaims beneficial ownership of all securities of the Issuer except to the extent of their several pecuniary interests therein. The filing of this statement does not constitute an admission that any Reporting Person is a member of a “group” for the purposes of Sections 13(d) of the Exchange Act.
The following table summarizes the beneficial ownership of the Issuer’s common stock by the Reporting Persons. For additional detail regarding sole voting and dispositive power, and shared voting and dispositive power of the shares beneficially owned by each Reporting Person listed below, see the cover pages to this Statement, which are incorporated into this Item 5 by reference.
