kers generally have discretionary authority to vote on the Independent Auditor Proposal because it is considered a routine matter under applicable rules and, therefore, we do not expect broker non-votes with respect to this proposal. In addition, for each proposal an affirmative vote equal to a majority of the shares necessary to constitute a quorum is also required for approval under California law. Therefore, broker non-votes and abstentions could prevent the approval of a proposal because they do not count as affirmative votes.

All shares of Common Stock represented at the Annual Meeting by proxies solicited hereunder will be voted in accordance with the specifications made by the shareholders executing the proxies. If a properly executed and unrevoked proxy solicited hereunder does not specify how the shares represented thereby are to be voted, the shares will be votedFORthe election as directors of the nominees named in this proxy statement,FORthe Say-on-Pay Vote andFORthe Independent Auditor Proposal, and in accordance with the discretion of the persons appointed proxy for the shares upon any other matters as may properly come before the Annual Meeting or any adjournments or postponements of the Annual Meeting. At this time, the Board of Directors is not aware of any other matters to come before the Annual Meeting.

**Solicitation of Proxies**

The cost of solicitation of proxies will be borne by the Company. We will reimburse brokerage firms and other custodians, nominees and fiduciaries for reasonable expenses incurred by them in sending proxy materials to the beneficial owners of our Common Stock. In addition to solicitation by mail, directors, officers and employees of the Company and the Bank may solicit proxies personally or by telephone, facsimile, letter or electronically without additional compensation.
