Except as otherwise described herein or in Item 6 below, no member of the Patriot Financial Group has any plans or proposals that relate to or would result in any of the transactions described in subparagraphs (a) through (j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D.

Patriot Fund II acquired shares of Banc of California Common Stock in a private placement offering in November 2014.

Patriot Fund III acquired shares of Banc of California as a result of the acquisition by merger of Pacific Mercantile by Banc of California on October 18, 2021. Shareholders of Pacific Mercantile, including Patriot Fund III, received shares of Banc of California as consideration in the acquisition.

Subject to the limitations imposed by applicable federal and state securities laws, Patriot Financial Group may dispose of the Acquired Shares from time to time, subject to market conditions and other investment considerations, and may cause the Acquired Shares to be distributed in kind to investors. To the extent permitted by applicable bank regulatory limitations, each member of the Patriot Financial Group may directly or indirectly acquire additional shares of Common Stock or associated rights or securities exercisable for or convertible into Common Stock, depending upon an ongoing evaluation of its investment in the Common Stock, applicable legal restrictions, prevailing market conditions, liquidity requirements of such member of the Patriot Financial Group and/or investment considerations.
