NOTE 1.  ORGANIZATION    
PacWest Bancorp, a Delaware corporation, is a bank holding company registered under the BHCA and headquartered in Los Angeles, California, with an executive office in Denver, Colorado. Our principal business is to serve as the holding company for our wholly-owned subsidiary, Pacific Western Bank. References to "Pacific Western" or the "Bank" refer to Pacific Western Bank together with its wholly-owned subsidiaries. References to "we," "us," or the "Company" refer to PacWest Bancorp together with its subsidiaries on a consolidated basis. When we refer to "PacWest" or to the "holding company," we are referring to PacWest Bancorp, the parent company, on a stand-alone basis.
The Bank is a relationship-based community bank focused on providing business banking and treasury management services to small, middle-market, and venture-backed businesses. The Bank offers a broad range of loan and lease and deposit products and services through full-service branches throughout California and in Durham, North Carolina and Denver, Colorado, and loan production offices around the country.
We generate our revenue primarily from interest received on loans and leases and, to a lesser extent, from interest received on investment securities, and fees received in connection with deposit services, extending credit and other services offered, including treasury management and investment management services. Our major operating expenses are interest paid by the Bank on deposits and borrowings, compensation, occupancy, and general operating expenses.
Significant Accounting Policies
Our accounting policies are described in Note 1. Nature of Operations and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, of our audited consolidated financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022 as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("Form 10-K"). Updates to our significant accounting policies described below reflect the impact of the adoption of ASU 2022-02, "Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Troubled Debt Restructurings and Vintage Disclosures ("ASU 2022-02")," specifically the amendment to troubled debt restructurings, and organizational changes which resulted in changes to our reportable operating segments.
Loan Modifications to Borrowers Experiencing Financial Difficulty
Loan modifications made to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty constitute modifications of receivables in the form of principal forgiveness, an interest rate reduction, an other than-insignificant payment delay, or a term extension. ASU 2022-02 eliminated the concept of troubled debt restructurings and introduced broader modification reporting requirements. Previously, troubled debt restructurings included any type of modification that included a below market concession which was granted both to a borrower in financial difficulty and as a result of financial difficulty. Loan modifications made to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty no longer consider whether a market concession has been granted, as was required with troubled debt restructurings, but rather includes as modifications within the four listed reportable modification types to a borrower deemed to be experiencing financial difficulty. An assessment of whether a borrower is experiencing financial difficulty is made on the date of the modification. Loans reported in this classification have a rating of substandard or worse, and may include both accruing and nonaccruing loans. Loans are assessed to determine whether the modification constitutes a new loan or a continuation of the existing loan. Depending on the terms of the modification and nature of the borrower, this may result in a downgrade or placing a loan on nonaccrual status, which in turn would impact the loan's classification within the ALLL. Because the effect of most modifications made to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty is already included in the allowance for credit losses because of the measurement methodologies used to estimate the allowance, a change to the allowance for credit losses is generally not recorded upon modification.

Business Segments
We regularly assess our strategic plans, operations, reporting structures and financial information provided to management to identify our reportable segments. Civic, a lending subsidiary we acquired in February 2021, has historically been identified as an operating segment. In the fourth quarter of 2022, Civic met a quantitative threshold which required it to be disclosed as a reportable operating segment. Therefore, we had two reportable operating segments as of December 31, 2022: Commercial Banking and Civic, and a third segment, Other, which was used for inter-segment eliminations. In the first quarter of 2023, we began a restructuring of Civic which included removing most of Civic's top management and transferring day-to-day management of most of Civic's operating functions to managers at the Bank. Due to the restructuring of Civic, discrete financial information is no longer prepared. Our management reporting captures the direct expenses of Civic, however, none of the expenses now being incurred to manage Civic are being directly charged or allocated to Civic. Therefore, it is no longer feasible to produce meaningful, separate full financial statements, and thus, discrete financial information for Civic is no longer prepared or distributed to our chief operating decision maker. Thus, Civic no longer meets the criteria to be considered a reportable operating segment as of March 31, 2023. We sold the Civic business in the second quarter of 2023, and we are retaining and servicing the Civic loans on our balance sheet. At June 30, 2023 and March 31, 2023, we operated as one reportable segment - Commercial Banking.
Accounting Standards Adopted in 2023
Effective January 1, 2023, we completed the adoption of ASU 2022-02, “Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326): Troubled Debt Restructurings and Vintage Disclosures," by eliminating the accounting guidance for TDRs by creditors, in ASC 310-40, "Receivables – Troubled Debt Restructurings by Creditors," while enhancing disclosure requirements for restructurings involving borrowers that are experiencing financial difficulty. The Company updated its disclosures in Note 4. Loans and Leases to present information regarding loan modifications to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty. There was no transition adjustment recorded to retained earnings upon adoption. The adoption of this amendment did not have a material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.
Basis of Presentation    
Our interim condensed consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP for interim financial information and pursuant to the requirements for reporting on Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Accordingly, certain disclosures accompanying annual consolidated financial statements are omitted. In the opinion of management, all significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated and adjustments, consisting solely of normal recurring accruals and considered necessary for the fair presentation of financial statements for the interim periods, have been included. The current period's results of operations are not necessarily indicative of the results that ultimately may be achieved for the year. The interim condensed consolidated financial statements and notes thereto should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in our Form 10-K.
Use of Estimates
We have made a number of estimates and assumptions related to the reporting of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period to prepare these condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Material estimates subject to change in the near term include, among other items, the allowance for credit losses (the combination of the allowance for loan and lease losses and the reserve for unfunded loan commitments), the carrying value of intangible assets, the fair value of loans held for sale, and the realization of deferred tax assets. These estimates may be adjusted as more current information becomes available, and any adjustment may be significant.

Reclassifications
Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period's presentation format. In our loan and allowance tables, we realigned certain of our loan portfolio classes and subclasses to better reflect and report our lending. We made the following changes: (1) moved the "Multi-family" loan subclass from the residential real estate mortgage class into its own loan class; (2) moved the "Construction - renovation" loan subclass from the residential real estate construction and land loan class to the residential real estate mortgage class and renamed it "Residential renovation" and (3) renamed the residential real estate mortgage loan class as "Other residential." All of the loan and allowance tables, both current period and prior periods, reflect these changes and realignment.
Risks and Uncertainties
The recent bank failures involving three prominent regional banks resulted in significant market volatility among publicly traded bank holding companies, and, in particular, regional banks like PacWest. These bank failures, and the resulting customer fear of additional bank failures, increased the following risks and uncertainties regarding our business: (i) the loss of customer deposits which, in turn, put pressure on our liquidity position, (ii) the decrease in our net interest margin resulting from replacing lower-cost customer deposits with higher-cost brokered deposits and borrowings, (iii) the downgrading of our credit rating by third-party rating agencies which may result in increased borrowing costs and/or trigger additional collateral or funding requirements, and (iv) the potential for operating costs to increase due to higher FDIC assessments and other costs necessary to respond to increased regulatory requirements.
To respond to these increased risks and uncertainties, we have taken the following actions to mitigate these risks: (a) we pledged additional assets as collateral for borrowings to increase our liquidity position for potential deposit outflows, (b) we increased the number of customers enrolled in reciprocal deposit programs that increases the amount of FDIC insurance coverage on their account(s) to help retain these customers, (c) we are offering competitive promotional rates on our deposit products to attract new customer deposits, (d) we completed strategic asset sales in the second quarter of 2023 to improve our liquidity position and capital ratios, and (e) in the second quarter of 2023, we reduced our common dividend from $0.25 to $0.01 to improve our liquidity position and capital ratios.
At the end of the second quarter, with the sale of non-core loan portfolios completed, we believe that we have addressed the liquidity risk present at the end of the first quarter and have improved our capital ratios. Our net interest margin and overall profitability will be reduced by the loan sales, and continues to be affected by elevated levels of higher-cost brokered deposits and borrowings. Our current priorities are to increase customer deposits to replace brokered deposits and borrowings and to reduce operating expenses. If we are not successful, our level of earnings will be lower than historical periods.
Following the end of the second quarter, on July 25, 2023, PacWest entered into a definitive merger agreement and plan of merger with Banc of California, Inc. For additional information, see Note 18. Subsequent Events.
NOTE 2. RESTRICTED CASH
The FRBSF establishes cash reserve requirements that its member banks must maintain based on a percentage of deposit liabilities. There were no reserves required to be held at the FRBSF for the six months ended June 30, 2023. As of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, we pledged cash collateral for our derivative contracts of $3.5 million and $2.7 million. We have cash which is restricted based on the terms of some of our borrowing agreements that totaled $148.3 million at June 30, 2023 and $131.5 million at December 31, 2022. Starting in the second quarter of 2023, we instituted a policy to require cash to secure the standby letters of credit that we have issued on behalf of our customers. At June 30, 2023, the balance of such restricted cash totaled $55.3 million.

As of June 30, 2023, the Company had not recorded an allowance for credit losses on securities available-for-sale. The Company does not consider unrealized losses on such securities to be attributable to credit-related factors, as the unrealized losses have occurred as a result of changes in non-credit related factors such as interest rates, market spreads, and market conditions subsequent to purchase.
As of June 30, 2023, securities available-for-sale with a fair value of $4.4 billion were pledged as collateral primarily for the Bank Term Funding Program borrowings, the FRB secured line of credit, and public deposits.

The securities that were in an unrealized loss position at June 30, 2023, were considered impaired and required further review to determine if the unrealized losses were credit-related. We concluded the unrealized losses were a result of the level of market interest rates relative to the types of securities and pricing changes caused by shifting supply and demand dynamics and not a result of downgraded credit ratings or other indicators of deterioration of the underlying issuers' ability to repay. We also considered the seniority of the tranches and U.S. government agency guarantees, if any, to assess whether an unrealized loss was credit-related. Accordingly, we determined the unrealized losses were not credit-related and recognized the unrealized losses in "Accumulated other comprehensive (loss) income" of "Stockholders' equity" on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. Although we periodically sell securities for portfolio management purposes, we do not foresee having to sell any impaired securities and believe that it is more likely than not we would not be required to sell any impaired securities before recovery of their amortized cost.

CMBS, CMOs, and MBS have contractual maturity dates, but require periodic payments based upon scheduled amortization terms. Actual principal collections on these securities usually occur more rapidly than the scheduled amortization terms because of prepayments made by obligors of the underlying loan collateral.

Credit losses on HTM securities are recorded at the time of purchase, acquisition, or when the Company designates securities as held-to-maturity. Credit losses on HTM securities are representative of current expected credit losses that may be incurred over the life of the investment. Accrued interest receivable on HTM securities, which is included in other assets on the condensed consolidated balance sheets, is excluded from the estimate of expected credit losses. HTM U.S. treasury securities and agency-backed MBS securities are considered to have no risk of loss as they are either explicitly or implicitly guaranteed by the U.S. government. The change in fair value in the HTM private label CMBS portfolio is solely driven by changes in interest rates. The Company has no knowledge of any underlying credit issues and the cash flows underlying the debt securities have not changed and are not expected to be impacted by changes in interest rates and, thus, there is no related ACL for this portfolio. The underlying bonds in the Company’s HTM municipal securities and HTM corporate debt securities portfolios are evaluated for credit losses in conjunction with management’s estimate of the allowance for credit losses based primarily on credit ratings.

Commercial MBS have contractual maturity dates, but require periodic payments based upon scheduled amortization terms. Actual principal collections on these securities usually occur more rapidly than the scheduled amortization terms because of prepayments made by obligors of the underlying loan collateral.

NOTE 4.  LOANS AND LEASES
Our loans are carried at the principal amount outstanding, net of deferred fees and costs, and in the case of acquired and purchased loans, net of purchase discounts and premiums. Deferred fees and costs and purchase discounts and premiums on acquired loans are recognized as an adjustment to interest income over the contractual life of the loans primarily using the effective interest method or taken into income when the related loans are paid off or included in the carrying amount of loans that are sold.

It is our policy to discontinue accruing interest when principal or interest payments are past due 90 days or more (unless the loan is both well secured and in the process of collection) or when, in the opinion of management, there is a reasonable doubt as to the collectability of a loan or lease in the normal course of business. Interest income on nonaccrual loans is recognized only to the extent cash is received and the principal balance of the loan is deemed collectable.

On January 1, 2023, the Company adopted ASU 2022-02, "Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Troubled Debt Restructurings and Vintage Disclosures" ("ASU 2022-02"), which eliminated the accounting guidance for troubled debt restructurings while enhancing disclosure requirements for certain loan refinancing and restructurings by creditors when a borrower is experiencing financial difficulty. This guidance was applied on a prospective basis. The following table presents our loan modifications made to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty by type of modification for the period indicated with related amortized cost balances as of the date indicated:

At June 30, 2023, there were other residential real estate loans with an amortized cost of $4.1 million that had been modified in the form of a term extension during the preceding six-month period and subsequently defaulted during the three and six months ended June 30, 2023.
Prior to the adoption of ASU 2022-02, the Company accounted for a modification to the contractual terms of a loan that resulted in granting a concession to a borrower experiencing financial difficulties as a TDR. TDRs were a result of rate reductions, term extensions, fee concessions, transfers to foreclosed assets, discounted loan payoffs, and debt forgiveness, or a combination thereof.

Leases Receivable
We provide equipment financing to our customers primarily with operating and direct financing leases. For direct financing leases, lease receivables are recorded on the balance sheet but the leased equipment is not, although we generally retain legal title to the leased equipment until the end of each lease. Direct financing leases are stated at the net amount of minimum lease payments receivable, plus any unguaranteed residual value, less the amount of unearned income and net acquisition discount at the reporting date. Direct lease origination costs are amortized using the effective interest method over the life of the leases. Direct financing leases are subject to our accounting for allowance for loan and lease losses. See Note 8. Leases for information regarding operating leases where we are the lessor.

The allowance for loan and lease losses increased by $9.2 million in the second quarter of 2023 to $219.2 million due primarily to a provision for loan and lease losses of $40.0 million driven by the impact of an updated forecast, higher net charge-offs and higher reserves for downgraded loans largely offset by lower reserves needed for lower loan and unfunded commitment balances.

NOTE 6.  GOODWILL AND OTHER INTANGIBLE ASSETS, NET
Goodwill and other intangible assets arise from the acquisition method of accounting for business combinations. Goodwill and other intangible assets generated from business combinations and deemed to have indefinite lives are not subject to amortization and instead are tested for impairment annually at the reporting unit level unless a triggering event occurs thereby requiring an updated assessment. Our regular annual impairment assessment occurs in the fourth quarter. Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the net assets and other identifiable intangible assets acquired. Impairment exists when the carrying value of the goodwill exceeds the fair value of the reporting unit. An impairment loss would be recognized in an amount equal to that excess as a charge to "Noninterest expense" in the condensed consolidated statements of earnings.
The impact to banks triggered by the closure of two well-known regional banks caused a significant decline in bank stock prices in March 2023, including our stock price. These triggering events indicated that goodwill related to our single reporting unit may be impaired and resulted in us performing a goodwill impairment assessment in the first quarter of 2023. We applied the market approach using an average share price of the Company's stock and a control premium to determine the estimated fair value of the reporting unit. The control premium was based upon management's judgment using historical information of control premiums for completed bank acquisitions. As a result, we recorded a goodwill impairment charge of our entire goodwill balance of $1.4 billion in the first quarter of 2023 as the estimated fair value of equity was less than book value. This was a non-cash charge to earnings and had no impact on our regulatory capital ratios, cash flows, or liquidity position.

(1)    Balance is net of unamortized issuance costs of $14.3 million and $2.7 million of accrued exit fees. Rate calculation does not include the effects of issuance costs and exit fees.
The Bank has established secured and unsecured lines of credit under which it may borrow funds from time to time on a term or overnight basis from the FHLB, the FRBSF, and other financial institutions.
FHLB Secured Line of Credit. The Bank had secured financing capacity with the FHLB as of June 30, 2023 of $4.7 billion, collateralized by a blanket lien on $9.2 billion of qualifying loans and $21.6 million of securities. As of June 30, 2023, there were no balances outstanding. As of December 31, 2022, the balance outstanding was $1.3 billion, which consisted of an overnight advance and two term advances with maturity dates of January 2023 and February 2023.
FRBSF Secured Line of Credit. The Bank has a secured line of credit with the FRBSF. As of June 30, 2023, the Bank had secured borrowing capacity of $6.6 billion collateralized by liens covering $7.0 billion of qualifying loans and $1.4 billion of securities. As of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, there were no balances outstanding.
FRBSF Bank Term Funding Program. In March of 2023, the Bank participated in the FRBSF Bank Term Funding Program. As of June 30, 2023, the Bank had secured borrowing capacity of $5.0 billion collateralized by the par value of pledged securities totaling $5.0 billion. As of June 30, 2023, the balance outstanding was $4.9 billion consisting of two term advances maturing in March 2024.
Repurchase Agreement. In March of 2023, the Bank entered into a repurchase agreement through which it borrowed $1.4 billion that was collateralized by loans with a principal balance of $2.1 billion. In connection with this borrowing, the Bank incurred $17.9 million of issuance costs and accrued $0.4 million in exit fees. The repurchase agreement is to be repaid with collections on the underlying loans. The repurchase agreement has a term of 18 months, under which the interest rate is 8.50% for amounts outstanding during the first nine months and 8.75% for amounts outstanding during the last nine months. The Bank has the option to pay off the repurchase agreement after the first nine months. Per the terms of the agreement, a reserve account equal to 1.5% of the facility commitment amount was deposited with a third-party bank to be used for certain purposes. Any remaining funds will be returned to PacWest at the time of payoff or maturity of the facility. At June 30, 2023, the borrowing amount outstanding was $1.3 billion collateralized by loans with a principal balance of $2.1 billion.
Credit-Linked Notes. The notes were issued in five classes, each with an interest rate of SOFR plus a spread that ranges from 8.00% to 13.25%, with a weighted average spread of 10.70% at June 30, 2023.

Federal Funds Arrangements with Commercial Banks. As of June 30, 2023, the Bank had unsecured lines of credit of $100.0 million in the aggregate with several correspondent banks for the purchase of overnight funds, subject to availability of funds. These lines are renewable annually and have no unused commitment fees. As of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, there were no balances outstanding. The Bank is a member of the AFX, through which it may either borrow or lend funds on an overnight or short-term basis with a group of pre-approved commercial banks. The availability of funds changes daily. As of June 30, 2023, there was no balance outstanding. As of December 31, 2022, the balance outstanding was $250.0 million, which consisted of $250.0 million in overnight borrowings.

Standby letters of credit300,557 320,886 
Total$6,145,932 $11,431,150 
The Company is a party to financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk in the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of its customers. These financial instruments include commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit. Those instruments involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit risk in excess of the amount recognized in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. The contract or notional amounts of those instruments reflect the extent of involvement that the Company has in particular classes of financial instruments.
Commitments to extend credit are contractual agreements to lend to our customers when customers are in compliance with their contractual credit agreements and when customers have contractual availability to borrow under such agreements. Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses and may require payment of a fee. Since many of the commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements. The estimated exposure to loss from these commitments is included in the reserve for unfunded loan commitments, which amounted to $37.6 million at June 30, 2023 and $91.1 million at December 31, 2022.

PACWEST BANCORP AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

Standby letters of credit are conditional commitments issued by the Company to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party. We provide standby letters of credit in conjunction with several of our lending arrangements and property lease obligations. Most guarantees expire within one year from the date of issuance. If a borrower defaults on its commitments subject to any letter of credit issued under these arrangements, we would be required to meet the borrower's financial obligation but would seek repayment of that financial obligation from the borrower. In some cases, borrowers have pledged cash and investment securities as collateral under these arrangements.
In addition, we invest in SBICs that call for capital contributions up to an amount specified in the partnership agreements, and in CRA-related loan pools. As of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, we had commitments to contribute capital to these entities totaling $78.0 million and $76.9 million.

Legal Matters
In the ordinary course of our business, the Company is party to various legal actions, which we believe are incidental to the operation of our business. The outcome of such legal actions and the timing of ultimate resolution are inherently difficult to predict. In the opinion of management, based upon currently available information, any resulting liability, in addition to amounts already accrued, and taking into consideration insurance which may be applicable, would not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial statements or operations. The range of any reasonably possible liabilities is also not significant.
NOTE 12.  FAIR VALUE OPTION
The Company may elect to report financial instruments and certain other items at fair value on an instrument-by-instrument basis with changes in fair value reported in earnings. The election is made upon the initial recognition of an eligible financial asset, financial liability, or firm commitment or when certain specified reconsideration events occur. The fair value election may not otherwise be revoked once an election is made. The changes in fair value are recorded in "Noninterest income" on the condensed consolidated statements of earnings. However, movements in debt valuation adjustments are reported as a component of "Accumulated other comprehensive (loss) income" on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. Debt valuation adjustments represent the portion of the total change in the fair value of a liability resulting from a change in the instrument-specific credit risk.
Fair Value Option for Certain Debt Liabilities
The Company has elected the fair value option for the credit-linked notes issued in September 2022. The Company elected the fair value option because these exposures are considered to be structured notes, which are financial instruments that contain embedded derivatives. The notes are linked to the credit risk of an approximately $2.55 billion reference pool of previously purchased single-family residential mortgage loans. The principal balance of the credit-linked notes was $127.7 million at June 30, 2023. The carrying value of the credit-linked notes at June 30, 2023 was the estimated fair value of $123.1 million.

NOTE 13.  FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
The Company uses fair value to measure certain assets and liabilities on a recurring basis, primarily securities available-for-sale, derivatives, and certain debt liabilities. For assets measured at the lower of cost or fair value, the fair value measurement criteria may or may not be met during a reporting period and such measurements are therefore considered “nonrecurring” for purposes of disclosing our fair value measurements. Fair value is used on a nonrecurring basis to adjust carrying values for individually evaluated loans and leases and other real estate owned and also to record impairment on certain assets, such as goodwill, CDI, and other long-lived assets.
For information regarding the valuation methodologies used to measure our assets recorded at fair value (under ASC Topic 820), and for estimating fair value for financial instruments not recorded at fair value (under ASC Topic 825, as amended by ASU 2016-01 and ASU 2018-03), see Note 1. Nature of Operations and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies and Note 15. Fair Value Measurements to the Consolidated Financial Statements of the Company's Form 10-K.
The Company also holds SBIC investments measured at fair value using the NAV per share practical expedient that are not required to be classified in the fair value hierarchy. At June 30, 2023, the fair value of these investments was $72.4 million.

Limitations
Fair value estimates are made at a specific point in time and are based on relevant market information and information about the financial instrument. These estimates do not reflect income taxes or any premium or discount that could result from offering for sale at one time the Company’s entire holdings of a particular financial instrument. Because no market exists for a portion of the Company’s financial instruments, fair value estimates are based on what management believes to be reasonable judgments regarding expected future cash flows, current economic conditions, risk characteristics of various financial instruments, and other factors. These estimated fair values are subjective in nature and involve uncertainties and matters of significant judgment and therefore cannot be determined with precision. Changes in assumptions could significantly affect the estimates. Since the fair values have been estimated as of June 30, 2023, the amounts that will actually be realized or paid at settlement or maturity of the instruments could be significantly different.

NOTE 16.  STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY
Stock-Based Compensation
At the annual meeting of stockholders held on May 11, 2021, the Company's stockholders approved the Amended and Restated PacWest Bancorp 2017 Stock Incentive Plan (the “Amended and Restated 2017 Plan”). The Company’s Amended and Restated 2017 Plan permits stock-based compensation awards to officers, directors, employees, and consultants and will remain in effect until December 31, 2026. The Amended and Restated 2017 Plan authorizes grants of stock-based compensation instruments to issue up to 6,650,000 shares. As of June 30, 2023, there were 1,869,341 shares available for grant under the Amended and Restated 2017 Plan.
Restricted Stock
Restricted stock amortization totaled $7.7 million and $9.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 and $12.7 million and $16.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022. Such amounts are included in "Compensation expense" on the condensed consolidated statements of earnings. The amount of unrecognized compensation expense related to unvested TRSAs and PRSUs as of June 30, 2023 totaled $55.3 million.
Time-Based Restricted Stock Awards
At June 30, 2023, there were 1,626,235 shares of unvested TRSAs outstanding. TRSAs generally vest ratably over a service period of three or four years from the date of the grant or immediately upon death of an employee. Compensation expense related to TRSAs is based on the fair value of the underlying award on the grant date and is recognized over the vesting period using the straight-line method.
Performance-Based Restricted Stock Units
At June 30, 2023, there were 656,049 units of unvested PRSUs that have been granted. The PRSUs will vest only if performance goals with respect to certain financial metrics are met over a three-year performance period. The shares underlying the PRSUs are not considered issued and outstanding until they vest. PRSUs are granted and initially expensed based on a target number. The number of shares that will ultimately vest based on actual performance will range from zero to a maximum of 200% of target.
Compensation expense related to PRSUs is based on the fair value of the underlying award on the grant date and is amortized over the vesting period using the straight-line method unless it is determined that: (1) attainment of the financial metrics is less than probable, in which case a portion or all of the amortization is suspended, or (2) attainment of the financial metrics is improbable, in which case a portion or all of the previously recognized amortization is reversed and also suspended. If it is determined that attainment of a financial measure higher than target is probable, the amortization will increase to up to 200% of the target amortization amount. Annual PRSU expense may vary during the three-year performance period based upon changes in management's estimate of the number of shares that may ultimately vest. In the case where the performance target for the PRSU is based on a market condition (such as total shareholder return), the amortization is neither reversed nor suspended if it is subsequently determined that the attainment of the performance target is less than probable or improbable and the employee continues to meet the service requirement of the award.
Preferred Stock
At June 30, 2023, our preferred stock of $498.5 million represents 20,530,000 depositary shares (the “Depositary Shares”), each representing a 1/40th ownership interest in a share of the Company’s 7.75% fixed rate reset non-cumulative, non-convertible, perpetual preferred stock, Series A, par value $0.01 per share (the “Series A preferred stock”), with a liquidation preference of $1,000 per share of Series A preferred stock (equivalent to $25.00 per Depositary Share). The Series A preferred stock qualifies as Tier 1 capital for purposes of regulatory capital calculations. The Series A preferred stock is perpetual and has no maturity date.

56



PACWEST BANCORP AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

Dividends on the Series A preferred stock are not cumulative or mandatory. If the Company’s Board of Directors does not declare a dividend on the Series A preferred stock in respect of a dividend period, then no dividend shall be deemed to be payable for such dividend period or be cumulative, and the Company will have no obligation to pay any dividend for that dividend period, whether or not the Board of Directors declares a dividend on the Series A preferred stock or any other class or series of its capital stock for any future dividend period. Additionally, so long as any share of Series A preferred stock remains outstanding, unless dividends on all outstanding shares of Series A preferred stock for the most recently completed dividend period have been paid in full or declared and a sum sufficient for the payment thereof has been set aside for payment, no dividend shall be declared or paid or set aside for payment and no distribution shall be declared or made or set aside for payment on the Company’s common stock.

On July 25, 2023, PacWest announced the signing of a definitive agreement and plan of merger whereby PacWest will merge with Banc of California, Inc. ("Banc" and following the merger, the "combined company") (the "merger"). Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the merger agreement, at closing each share of common stock of PacWest issued and outstanding immediately prior to the closing (subject to certain exceptions) will be converted into the right to receive 0.6569 of a share of common stock of Banc. In addition, in connection with the closing, each share of Series A preferred stock will be converted into the right to receive one share of a newly created series of preferred stock of Banc having such powers, preferences and rights, and such qualifications, limitations and restrictions, taken as a whole, that are not materially less favorable to the holders of the Series A preferred stock. Concurrently with its entry into the merger agreement, Banc entered into separate investment agreements with affiliates of funds managed by Warburg Pincus LLC (the "Warburg Investors") and certain investment vehicles sponsored, managed or advised by Centerbridge Partners, L.P. (the "Centerbridge Investors" and collectively with the Warburg Investors, the "Investors") to invest, substantially concurrently with the merger closing, in an aggregate of $400 million of shares of Banc common stock and Banc non-voting, common-equivalent stock, and Banc will issue to the investing parties warrants to purchase approximately 18.9 million shares of Banc non-voting, common-equivalent stock or shares of Banc common stock (collectively, the "equity investments").
Banc, headquartered in Santa Ana, California, is the parent of Banc of California, N.A., with $9.37 billion in assets with 33 offices including 27 full-service branches throughout Southern California at June 30, 2023. In connection with the merger, Banc of California, N.A. will merge with and into Pacific Western Bank, which will take the Banc of California name and apply to become a Federal Reserve member.
The merger, which was approved by the PacWest and Banc boards of directors, is expected to close in the fourth quarter of 2023 or first quarter of 2024 and is subject to certain closing conditions, including the closing of the investments described above occurring substantially concurrently with the merger closing, receipt of required regulatory approvals and requisite approval by the stockholders of each company.

Overview
PacWest Bancorp, a Delaware corporation, is a bank holding company registered under the BHCA and headquartered in Los Angeles, California, with an executive office in Denver, Colorado. Our principal business is to serve as the holding company for our wholly-owned subsidiary, Pacific Western Bank. References to "Pacific Western" or the "Bank" refer to Pacific Western Bank together with its wholly-owned subsidiaries. References to "we," "us," or the "Company" refer to PacWest Bancorp together with its subsidiaries on a consolidated basis. When we refer to "PacWest" or to the "holding company," we are referring to PacWest Bancorp, the parent company, on a stand-alone basis.
The Bank is a relationship-based community bank focused on providing business banking and treasury management services to small, middle-market, and venture-backed businesses. The Bank offers a broad range of loan and lease and deposit products and services through full-service branches throughout California and in Durham, North Carolina and Denver, Colorado, and loan production offices around the country.
In managing the top line of our business, we focus on loan growth, loan yield, deposit cost, and net interest margin. Net interest income, on a year-to-date basis in 2023, accounted for 124.5% of net revenue (net interest income plus noninterest income).
At June 30, 2023, the Company had total assets of $38.3 billion, including $22.7 billion of total loans and leases, net of deferred fees, $4.7 billion of securities available-for-sale, $2.3 billion of securities held-to-maturity, and $6.5 billion of interest-earning deposits in financial institutions compared to $41.2 billion of total assets at December 31, 2022, including $28.7 billion of total loans and leases, net of deferred fees, $4.8 billion of securities available-for-sale, $2.3 billion securities held-to-maturity, and $2.0 billion of interest-earning deposits in financial institutions. The $2.9 billion decrease in total assets since year-end was due primarily to a $5.9 billion decrease in loans and leases, net of deferred fees, attributable mainly to loan sales, and a $1.4 billion decrease in goodwill, offset partially by a $4.5 billion increase in interest-earning deposits in financial institutions. See "- Recent Events" for discussion regarding the Company's loan sales during the three months ended June 30, 2023.
60


At June 30, 2023, the Company had total liabilities of $35.8 billion, including total deposits of $27.9 billion and borrowings of $6.4 billion, compared to $37.3 billion of total liabilities at December 31, 2022, including $33.9 billion of total deposits and $1.8 billion borrowings. The $1.5 billion decrease in total liabilities since year-end was due mainly to a $6.0 billion decrease in deposits, offset partially by an increase of $4.6 billion in borrowings, attributable mainly to the $4.9 billion of borrowings made under the Bank Term Funding Program in March 2023.
At June 30, 2023, the Company had total stockholders' equity of $2.5 billion compared to $3.9 billion at December 31, 2022. The $1.4 billion decrease in stockholders' equity since year-end was due mainly to the net loss of $1.4 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2023 attributable primarily to a $1.4 billion goodwill impairment charge in the first quarter of 2023. Our consolidated common equity Tier 1 (CET1), Tier 1 capital and Total capital ratios increased to 11.16%, 13.70%, and 17.61% at June 30, 2023 due primarily to a decrease in risk-weighted assets.
Recent Events
Loan Sales and Loans Held for Sale
In the second quarter of 2023, we executed on our strategic plan to divest non-core loan portfolios which included selling:
National Construction portfolio, including $2.6 billion of loans and $2.3 billion of unfunded commitments
Lender Finance portfolio, including $2.1 billion of loans and $0.2 billion of unfunded commitments
A portion of the Civic portfolio, including $521 million of loans and $24 million of unfunded commitments
The Lender Finance portfolio was reported as held for sale at March 31, 2023, and this sale reduced the loans held for sale balance in the second quarter. We recorded loan fair value loss adjustments of $171.0 million in the second quarter related to the loans sold and LOCOM HFS adjustments for the loans reported as held for sale at June 30, 2023. We also recorded unfunded commitments fair value loss adjustments of $106.8 million for the unfunded commitments sold. We recorded Civic loan sale charge-offs of $22.4 million related to the sold Civic loans.
The loans held for sale balance at June 30, 2023 was $478.1 million and consisted of National Construction, Lender Finance, and Civic loans. In July 2023, approximately $285 million of this balance was sold with minimal gain/loss.
Banc of California, Inc. Merger Agreement
On July 25, 2023, PacWest announced the signing of a definitive agreement and plan of merger whereby PacWest will merge with Banc of California, Inc. ("Banc" and following the merger, the "combined company") (the "merger"). Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the merger agreement, at closing each share of common stock of PacWest issued and outstanding immediately prior to the closing (subject to certain exceptions) will be converted into the right to receive 0.6569 of a share of common stock of Banc. In addition, in connection with the closing, each share of Series A preferred stock will be converted into the right to receive one share of a newly created series of preferred stock of Banc having such powers, preferences and rights, and such qualifications, limitations and restrictions, taken as a whole, that are not materially less favorable to the holders of the Series A preferred stock. Concurrently with its entry into the merger agreement, Banc entered into separate investment agreements with affiliates of funds managed by Warburg Pincus LLC (the "Warburg Investors") and certain investment vehicles sponsored, managed or advised by Centerbridge Partners, L.P. (the "Centerbridge Investors" and collectively with the Warburg Investors, the "Investors") to invest, substantially concurrently with the merger closing, in an aggregate of $400 million of shares of Banc common stock and Banc non-voting, common-equivalent stock, and Banc will issue to the investing parties warrants to purchase approximately 18.9 million shares of Banc non-voting, common-equivalent stock or shares of Banc common stock (collectively, the "equity investments").
Banc, headquartered in Santa Ana, California, is the parent of Banc of California, N.A., with $9.37 billion in assets with 33 offices including 27 full-service branches located throughout Southern California at June 30, 2023. In connection with the merger, Banc of California, N.A. will merge with and into Pacific Western Bank, which will take the Banc of California name and apply to become a Federal Reserve member.
61


The merger, which was approved by the PacWest and Banc boards of directors, is expected to close in the fourth quarter of 2023 or first quarter of 2024 and is subject to certain closing conditions, including the closing of the investments described above occurring substantially concurrently with the merger closing, receipt of required regulatory approvals and requisite approval by the stockholders of each company.
These recent events, and the ongoing news coverage of these events, has increased certain risks and uncertainties related to our business and future prospects. See also the updated "Risk Factors" section disclosed in Part II, Item 1A of this quarterly report on Form 10-Q.
Key Performance Indicators
Among other factors, our operating results generally depend on the following key performance indicators:
The Level of Net Interest Income
Net interest income is the excess of interest earned on our interest-earning assets over the interest paid on our interest-bearing liabilities. Net interest margin is net interest income (annualized if related to a quarterly period) expressed as a percentage of average interest-earning assets. Tax equivalent net interest income is net interest income increased by an adjustment for tax-exempt interest on certain loans and investment securities based on a 21% federal statutory tax rate. Tax equivalent net interest margin is calculated as tax equivalent net interest income divided by average interest-earning assets.
Net interest income is affected by changes in both interest rates and the volume of average interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities. Our primary interest-earning assets are loans and investment securities, and our primary interest-bearing liabilities are deposits and borrowings. While our deposit balances will fluctuate depending on our customers’ liquidity and cash flow, market conditions, and competitive pressures, we seek to minimize the impact of these variances by attracting a high percentage of noninterest-bearing deposits. During 2023 and 2022, our net interest margin was negatively impacted because we accessed the wholesale funding market to replace outflows of non-brokered deposits. Our net interest margin and level of net interest income will be negatively impacted by the sale of the three non-core loan portfolios in the second quarter of 2023. Our current priorities are to increase customer deposits to replace wholesale deposits, which will reduce our interest expense, and to reduce operating expenses to offset the expected lower interest income as a result of the loan portfolio sales.
Loan and Lease Production
We actively seek new lending opportunities under an array of lending products. Our lending activities include real estate mortgage loans, real estate construction and land loans, commercial loans and leases, and a small amount of consumer lending. Our commercial real estate loans and real estate construction loans are secured by a range of property types. Our commercial loans and leases portfolio is diverse and generally includes various asset-secured loans, equipment-secured loans and leases, venture capital loans to support venture capital firms’ operations and the operations of entrepreneurial and venture-backed companies during the various phases of their early life cycles, and secured business loans. In January 2023, we announced that we were slowing loan growth to preserve capital and strengthen our balance sheet, including winding down our premium finance and multi-family lending groups in the fourth quarter of 2022. In addition, as noted above under “Recent Events—Loan Sales and Loans Held for Sale,” during the second quarter of 2023, we executed on our strategic plan to divest non-core loan portfolios which included selling our National Construction portfolio, Lender Finance portfolio, and a portion of our Civic portfolio.
Our loan origination process emphasizes credit quality. On occasion, to augment our internal loan production, we have purchased loans such as multi-family loans from other banks, private student loans from third-party lenders, and single-family residential mortgage loans. These loan purchases help us manage the concentrations in our portfolio as they diversify the geographic, interest-rate risk, credit risk, and product composition of our loan portfolio. Achieving net loan growth is subject to many factors, including maintaining strict credit standards, competition from other lenders, and borrowers that opt to prepay loans.
62


The Magnitude of Credit Losses
We emphasize credit quality in originating and monitoring our loans and leases, and we measure our success by the levels of our classified loans and leases, nonaccrual loans and leases, and net charge-offs. We maintain an allowance for credit losses on loans and leases, which is the sum of the allowance for loan and lease losses and the reserve for unfunded loan commitments. Provisions for credit losses are charged to operations as and when needed for both on and off-balance sheet credit exposures. Loans and leases that are deemed uncollectable are charged off and deducted from the allowance for loan and lease losses. Recoveries on loans and leases previously charged off are added to the allowance for loan and lease losses. The provision for credit losses on the loan and lease portfolio is based on our allowance methodology, which considers the impact of assumptions and is reflective of historical experience, economic forecasts viewed to be reasonable and supportable by management, the current loan and lease composition, and relative credit risks known as of the balance sheet date. For originated and acquired credit-deteriorated loans, a provision for credit losses may be recorded to reflect credit deterioration after the origination date or after the acquisition date, respectively.
We regularly review loans and leases to determine whether there has been any deterioration in credit quality resulting from borrower operations or changes in collateral value or other factors which may affect collectability of our loans and leases. Changes in economic conditions, such as the rate of economic growth, the unemployment rate, rate of inflation, increases in the general level of interest rates, declines in real estate values, changes in commodity prices, and adverse conditions in borrowers’ businesses, could negatively impact our borrowers and cause us to adversely classify loans and leases. An increase in classified loans and leases generally results in increased provisions for credit losses and an increased allowance for credit losses. Any deterioration in the commercial real estate market may lead to increased provisions for credit losses because our loans are concentrated in commercial real estate loans.
63


The Level of Noninterest Expense
Our noninterest expense includes fixed and controllable overhead, the largest components of which are compensation and occupancy expense. It also includes costs that tend to vary based on the volume of activity, such as loan and lease production and the number and complexity of foreclosed assets. We measure success in controlling both fixed and variable costs through monitoring of the efficiency ratio, which is calculated by dividing noninterest expense (less intangible asset amortization, net foreclosed assets expense (income), goodwill impairment, and acquisition, integration and reorganization costs) by net revenues (the sum of tax equivalent net interest income plus noninterest income, less gain (loss) on sale of securities and gain (loss) on sales of assets other than loans and leases).

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
Our accounting policies are fundamental to understanding management’s discussion and analysis of results of operations and financial condition. We identify critical policies and estimates as those that require management to make particularly difficult, subjective, and/or complex judgments about matters that are inherently uncertain and because of the likelihood that materially different amounts would be reported under different conditions or using different assumptions. These policies and estimates relate to the allowance for credit losses on loans and leases held for investment, the carrying value of goodwill and other intangible assets, and the realization of deferred income tax assets and liabilities.
Our critical accounting policies and estimates are described in Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations included in our Form 10-K.

Non-GAAP Measurements
We use certain non-GAAP financial measures to provide meaningful supplemental information regarding the Company’s operational performance and to enhance investors’ overall understanding of such financial performance. The methodology for determining these non-GAAP measures may differ among companies. We used the following non-GAAP measures in this Form 10-Q:
Return on average tangible common equity, tangible common equity ratio, and tangible book value per common share: Given that the use of these measures is prevalent among banking regulators, investors, and analysts, we disclose them in addition to the related GAAP measures of return on average equity, equity to assets ratio, and book value per common share, respectively. The reconciliations of these non-GAAP measurements to the GAAP measurements are presented in the following tables for and as of the periods presented.

Second Quarter of 2023 Compared to Second Quarter of 2022
Net (loss) earnings available to common stockholders for the second quarter of 2023 was a loss of $207.4 million, or a loss of $1.75 per diluted share, compared to net earnings available to common stockholders for the second quarter of 2022 of $122.4 million, or $1.02 per diluted share. The $329.7 million decrease in net earnings available to common stockholders from the second quarter of 2022 was due mainly to a $137.8 million decrease in net interest income, a $162.4 million decrease in noninterest income, a $124.4 million increase in noninterest expense, and a $9.9 million increase in preferred stock dividends, offset partially by a $9.5 million decrease in provision for credit losses and a $107.8 million decrease in income tax expense. The decrease in net interest income was due primarily to our interest-bearing liabilities repricing faster than our interest-bearing assets when interest rates rapidly increased over the last year. Also, the mix of our interest-bearing liabilities changed significantly to higher-cost borrowings and wholesale brokered deposits from lower-cost customer deposits, as the closure of three banks in the first half of 2023 caused an outflow of such lower-cost customer deposits. The decrease in noninterest income was due mainly to a $158.9 million increase in loss on sale of loans and an $11.9 million LOCOM HFS adjustment on loans held for sale at June 30, 2023, offset partially by higher leased equipment income of $10.1 million. The increase in noninterest expense was due primarily to $106.8 million of unfunded commitments fair value loss adjustments in the second quarter of 2023 and a $20.0 million increase in insurance and assessments expense. The increase in preferred stock dividends is due to our preferred stock being issued in June of 2022 and there being no dividends declared for that quarter. The decrease in income tax expense is due to the income tax benefit recorded on a loss before taxes in the second quarter of 2023, compared to income tax expense recorded on earnings before income taxes in the second quarter of 2022.
Six Months Ended June 30, 2023 Compared to Six Months Ended June 30, 2022
Net (loss) earnings available to common stockholders for the six months ended June 30, 2023 was a loss of $1.4 billion, or a loss of $11.96 per diluted share, compared to net earnings available to common stockholders for the six months ended June 30, 2022 of $242.5 million, or $2.03 per diluted share. The $1.7 billion decrease in net earnings available to common stockholders from the six months ended June 30, 2022 was due mainly to a goodwill impairment recorded in the first quarter of 2023 of $1.38 billion. The decrease in net earnings available to common stockholders was also due to a $167.3 million decrease in net interest income, a $146.9 million decrease in noninterest income, a $144.7 million increase in operating expense (excluding the $1.38 goodwill impairment and a $20.9 million increase in acquisition, integration and reorganization costs), and a $19.9 million increase in preferred stock dividends, offset partially by a $6.5 million decrease in provision for credit losses and a $214.7 million decrease in income tax expense. The decrease in net interest income was due primarily to our interest-bearing liabilities repricing faster than our interest-bearing assets when interest rates rapidly increased over the last year. Also, the mix of our interest-bearing liabilities changed significantly in the first half of 2023 as the closure of three banks caused an outflow of lower-cost customer deposits, which were replaced with higher-cost borrowings and wholesale/brokered deposits. The decrease in noninterest income was due mainly to a $156.0 million increase in loss on sale of loans and an $11.9 million LOCOM HFS adjustment on loans held for sale at June 30, 2023, offset partially by an $11.0 million increase in dividends and gains on equity investments and a $10.8 million increase in leased equipment income. The increase in operating expense was due primarily to $106.8 million of unfunded commitments fair value loss adjustments in the second quarter of 2023, a $26.9 million increase in customer related expense (higher account analysis expense due to higher earnings credit rate), and a $26.2 million increase in insurance and assessments expense (higher FDIC assessment due to higher assessment rate and higher assessment base), offset partially by a $23.4 million decrease in compensation expense. The increase in preferred stock dividends is due to our preferred stock being issued in June of 2022 and there being no dividends in the six months ended June 30, 2022. The decrease in income tax expense is due to the income tax benefit recorded on a loss before taxes in the six months ended June 30, 2023, compared to income tax expense recorded on earnings before income taxes in the six months ended June 30, 2022.

Second Quarter of 2023 Compared to Second Quarter of 2022
Net interest income decreased by $137.8 million to $186.1 million for the second quarter of 2023 compared to $323.9 million for the second quarter of 2022 due mainly to higher interest expense on deposits and borrowings, offset partially by higher interest income on loans and leases and deposits in financial institutions. The increase in interest expense was due to a higher cost and balance of average interest-bearing liabilities. The increase in interest income on loans and leases was attributable to a higher average balance and higher yield on average loans and leases. The tax equivalent yield on average loans and leases was 6.08% for the second quarter of 2023, compared to 4.65% for the same quarter of 2022. The increase in interest income on deposits in financial institutions was due mainly to a higher rate paid on deposits at the Federal Reserve and a higher average balance.
The tax equivalent NIM was 1.82% for the second quarter of 2023 compared to 3.56% for the comparable quarter last year. The decrease in the tax equivalent NIM was due mostly to a shift in our funding mix beginning in the second half of March 2023 as we responded to the banking crisis to enhance liquidity and protect franchise value. Average borrowings as a percentage of average interest-bearing liabilities was 34% for the second quarter of 2023 compared to 6% for the second quarter of 2022. The additional borrowings are largely short-term in nature, which will allow us to normalize our funding mix over time as economic and market conditions stabilize. The tax-equivalent NIM was further impacted by a higher cost of total deposits and borrowings, offset partially by higher yields on loans and leases and deposits in financial institutions.
The cost of average total deposits was 2.62% for the second quarter of 2023 compared to 0.18% for the second quarter of 2022 due mainly to higher rates and a change in the mix of average deposits, resulting from a decrease in lower cost non-maturity deposits and an increase in higher cost time deposits.
Six Months Ended June 30, 2023 Compared to Six Months Ended June 30, 2022
Net interest income decreased by $167.3 million to $465.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023 compared to $632.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022 due mainly to higher interest expense on deposits and borrowings, offset partially by higher interest income on loans and leases and deposits in financial institutions. The increase in interest expense was due to a higher cost and balance of average interest-bearing liabilities. The increase in interest income on loans and leases was attributable to a higher average balance and higher yield on average loans and leases. The tax equivalent yield on average loans and leases was 6.11% for the six months ended June 30, 2023, compared to 4.66% for the same period in 2022. The increase in interest income on deposits in financial institutions was due mainly to a higher rate paid on deposits at the Federal Reserve and a higher average balance.
The tax equivalent NIM was 2.34% for the six months ended June 30, 2023 compared to 3.50% for the comparable period last year. The decrease in the tax equivalent NIM was due mostly to a shift in our funding mix beginning in the second half of March 2023 as we responded to the banking crisis to enhance liquidity and protect franchise value. Average borrowings as a percentage of average interest-bearing liabilities was 27% for the six months ended June 30, 2023 compared to 4% for the six months ended June 30, 2022. The tax-equivalent NIM was further impacted by a higher cost of total deposits and borrowings, offset partially by higher yields on loans and leases and deposits in financial institutions.
The cost of average total deposits was 2.27% for the six months ended June 30, 2023 compared to 0.13% for the six months ended June 30, 2022 due mainly to higher rates and a change in the mix of average deposits, resulting from a decrease in lower cost non-maturity deposits and an increase in higher cost time deposits.

______________________
(1)    See "- Balance Sheet Analysis - Allowance for Credit Losses on Loans and Leases Held for Investment" for detail of charge-offs and recoveries by loan portfolio segment, class, and subclass for the periods presented.
Provisions for credit losses are charged to earnings for the allowance for loan and lease losses, the reserve for unfunded loan commitments, and the allowance for credit losses on held-to-maturity securities. The provision for credit losses on our loans and leases held for investment is based on our allowance methodology and is an expense that, in our judgment, is required to maintain an adequate allowance for credit losses. For further details on our loan-related allowance for credit losses methodology, see “- Balance Sheet Analysis - Allowance for Credit Losses on Loans and Leases Held for Investment” contained herein.
Second Quarter of 2023 Compared to Second Quarter of 2022
The provision for credit losses decreased by $9.5 million to a provision of $2.0 million for the second quarter of 2023 compared to $11.5 million for the second quarter of 2022. The provision for the second quarter of 2023 reflected the impact of an updated forecast, higher net charge-offs and higher reserves for downgraded loans largely offset by lower reserves needed for lower loan and unfunded commitment balances. During the second quarter of 2022, the $11.5 million provision was primarily attributable to growth in unfunded commitments and a $1.5 million provision on held-to-maturity securities.
74


Six Months Ended June 30, 2023 Compared to Six Months Ended June 30, 2022
The provision for credit losses decreased by $6.5 million to a provision of $5.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023 compared to $11.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022. The lower provision in the 2023 period is generally due to lower balances of loans and unfunded commitments.
Certain circumstances may lead to increased provisions for credit losses on loans and leases in the future. Examples of such circumstances include deterioration in economic conditions and forecasts, an increased amount of classified and/or criticized loans and leases, and net loan and lease and unfunded commitment growth. Deterioration in economic conditions and forecasts include the rate of economic growth, the unemployment rate, the rate of inflation, changes in the general level of interest rates, changes in real estate values, and adverse conditions in borrowers’ businesses. See further discussion in “- Balance Sheet Analysis - Allowance for Credit Losses on Loans and Leases Held for Investment” contained herein.

Noninterest income decreased by $162.4 million to a loss of $128.1 million for the second quarter of 2023 compared to income of $34.3 million for the second quarter of 2022 due mainly to an increase of $158.9 million in the loss on sale of loans and a $11.9 million LOCOM HFS adjustment, offset partially by higher leased equipment income of $10.1 million. The increase in loss on sale of loans resulted from the sale of $5.2 billion of loans for a net loss of $158.9 million in the second quarter of 2023 compared to the sale of $4.3 million of loans for a net gain of $12,000. The LOCOM HFS adjustment was related to the lower of cost or market adjustment that we made to our $478.1 million loans held for sale at June 30, 2023. The increase in leased equipment income was due mainly to higher early lease termination gains.
Six Months Ended June 30, 2023 Compared to Six Months Ended June 30, 2022
Noninterest income decreased by $146.9 million to a loss of $91.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023 compared to income of $55.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022 due mainly to an increase of $156.0 million in the loss on sale of loans and a $11.9 million LOCOM HFS adjustment, offset partially by an increase of $11.0 million in dividends and gains on equity investments and an increase of $10.8 million in leased equipment income. The increase in loss on sale of loans resulted from the sale of $5.2 billion of loans for a net loss of $158.9 million in the six months ended June 30, 2023 compared to the sale of $41.0 million of loans for a net gain of $72,000 in the same period last year. The LOCOM HFS adjustment was related to the lower of cost or market adjustment that we made to our $478.1 million loans held for sale at June 30, 2023. Dividends and gains (losses) increased due mostly to losses of $7.3 million recorded in the six months ended June 30, 2022 attributable mainly to volatility in equity markets resulting from geopolitical tension and inflationary pressures. The increase in leased equipment income was due mainly to higher early lease termination gains.

Noninterest expense increased by $136.8 million to $320.4 million for the second quarter of 2023 compared to $183.6 million for the second quarter of 2022 due primarily to a $106.3 million increase in other expense, a $20.0 million increase in insurance and assessments expense, and a $15.6 million increase in customer related expense, offset partially by a $19.7 decrease in compensation expense. The increase in other expense was due to $106.8 million of unfunded commitments fair value loss adjustments related to the sold unfunded commitments. The increase in insurance and assessments expense was due to higher FDIC assessment expense. The increase in customer related expense was due to higher third party payments for deposit customers for which the Company provides earnings credits due to an increase in the earnings credit rates offered. The decrease in compensation expense was due mainly to lower headcount.
Six Months Ended June 30, 2023 Compared to Six Months Ended June 30, 2022
Noninterest expense increased by $1.5 billion to $1.9 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2023 compared to $351.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022 due mainly to a $1.38 goodwill impairment charge incurred in the first quarter of 2023. Excluding the goodwill impairment charge and acquisition, integration and reorganization costs, operating expenses increased by $144.7 million in the six months ended June 30, 2023 as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2022. The increase was due mainly to a $107.5 million increase in other expense, a $26.9 million increase in customer related expense, and a $26.2 million increase in insurance and assessments expense, offset partially by a $23.4 million decrease in compensation expense. The increase in other expense was due to unfunded commitments fair value loss adjustments of $106.8 million. The increase in customer related expense was due to higher third party payments for deposit customers on analysis. The increase in insurance and assessments expense was due to higher FDIC assessment expense. The increase in customer related expense was due to higher third party payments for deposit customers for which the Company provides earnings credits due to an increase in the earnings credit rates offered. The decrease in compensation expense was due mainly to lower headcount.

Income Taxes
The effective tax rate for the second quarter of 2023 was 25.3% compared to 25.0% for the second quarter of 2022. The effective tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2023 was 8.7% compared to 25.4% for the six months ended June 30, 2022. Excluding goodwill impairment of $1.4 billion, the effective income tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2023 was 22.7%. The lower effective tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2023 compared to that for the six months ended June 30, 2022 was due primarily to the shortfalls from restricted stock vesting in the second quarter of 2023. The Company's blended statutory tax rate for federal and state is 27.6%. Excluding goodwill impairment, the Company’s effective tax rate for the full year 2023 is currently estimated to be in the range of 22% to 24%.

Allowance for Credit Losses on Loans and Leases Held for Investment
The allowance for credit losses on loans and leases held for investment is the combination of the allowance for loan and lease losses and the reserve for unfunded loan commitments. The allowance for loan and lease losses is reported as a reduction of the amortized cost basis of loans and leases, while the reserve for unfunded loan commitments is included within "Accrued interest payable and other liabilities" on the consolidated balance sheets. The amortized cost basis of loans and leases does not include accrued interest receivable, which is included in "Other assets" on the consolidated balance sheets. The "Provision for credit losses" on the consolidated statement of earnings (loss) is a combination of the provision for loan and lease losses, the provision for unfunded loan commitments, and the provision for held-to-maturity debt securities.
Under the CECL methodology, expected credit losses reflect losses over the remaining contractual life of an asset, considering the effect of prepayments and available information about the collectability of cash flows, including information about relevant historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts of future events and circumstances. Thus, the CECL methodology incorporates a broad range of information in developing credit loss estimates.
For further information regarding the calculation of the allowance for credit losses on loans and leases held for investment using the CECL methodology, see Note 1. Nature of Operations and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements contained in "Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data" of our Form 10-K.
In calculating our allowance for credit losses, we continued to consider higher inflation rates, rising interest rates, the risk of a recession, technical or otherwise, and the Russia-Ukraine war as well as any trailing impact of the COVID-19 pandemic in our process for estimating expected credit losses given the changes in economic forecasts and assumptions along with the uncertainty related to the severity and duration of the economic consequences resulting from such events. Our methodology and framework along with the 4-quarter reasonable and supportable forecast period and 2-quarter reversion period have remained consistent since the implementation of CECL on January 1, 2020. Certain management assumptions are reassessed every quarter based on current expectations for credit losses, while other assumptions are assessed and updated on at least an annual basis.
For the second quarter of 2023, we used the Moody’s June 2023 Baseline, S1 Upside 10th Percentile, and S3 Downside 90th Percentile forecast scenarios for the calculation of our quantitative component. The weightings of the scenarios were based on management’s current expectations for the economic forecast, acknowledging the risk of a near-term recession and inherent uncertainty. Compared to the first quarter of 2023, the economic forecasts were slightly less favorable, resulting in an increase to the allowance for credit losses.
As part of our allowance for credit losses methodology, we consistently incorporate the use of qualitative factors in determining the overall allowance for credit losses to capture risks that may not be adequately reflected in our quantitative models. During the first quarter of 2021, we added qualitative components that were based on management’s assessment of various qualitative factors such as economic conditions and collateral dependency. These qualitative components were primarily related to certain loan portfolios including hotels, retail, and office properties that were more directly affected by the COVID-19 pandemic and may react more slowly to the improvements in the general economic conditions. These sectors may see a slower economic recovery to pre-pandemic levels due to changes in consumer behavior such as less business travel due to more virtual meetings, more online shopping versus in person shopping, or the potential for more permanent shifts to remote or hybrid working arrangements. Additionally, small businesses in these sectors may face greater challenges once debt relief and PPP funding is exhausted. These qualitative adjustments have been updated each quarter based on evolving forecasts of property values and the pace of recovery for small businesses. During the second quarter of 2023, our qualitative adjustments remained at a level consistent with the first quarter of 2023.
During the second quarter of 2023, while loans and leases held for investment and unfunded loan commitments declined, a $2 million provision was recognized due primarily to an increase in classified loans and higher net charge-offs, which also increased the quantitative reserves for loans secured by residential real estate.

The use of different economic forecasts, whether based on different scenarios, the use of multiple or single scenarios, or updated economic forecasts and scenarios, can change the outcome of the calculations. In addition to the economic forecasts, there are numerous components and assumptions that are integral to the overall estimation of allowance for credit losses. As part of our allowance for credit losses process, sensitivity analyses are performed to assess the impact of how changing certain assumptions could impact the estimated allowance for credit losses. At times, these analyses can provide information to further assist management in making decisions on certain assumptions. We calculated alternative values for our June 30, 2023 ACL using various alternative forecast scenarios provided by Moody’s including the Moody’s S1 Upside 10th Percentile and S3 Downside 90th Percentile and the calculated amounts for the quantitative component differed from the probability-weighted multiple scenario forecast ranging from lower by 6.31% to higher by 26.36%. However, changing one assumption and not reassessing other assumptions used in the quantitative or qualitative process could yield results that are not reasonable or appropriate, hence all assumptions and information must be considered. From a sensitivity analysis perspective, changing key assumptions such as the macro-economic variable inputs from the economic forecasts, the reasonable and supportable forecast period, prepayment rates, loan segmentation, historical loss factors and/or periods, among others, would all change the outcome of the quantitative components of the allowance for credit losses. Those results would then need to be assessed from a qualitative perspective potentially requiring further adjustments to the qualitative component to arrive at a reasonable and appropriate allowance for credit losses.
The determination of the allowance for credit losses is complex and highly dependent on numerous models, assumptions, and judgments made by management. Management's current expectation for credit losses on loans and leases held for investment as quantified in the allowance for credit losses considers the impact of assumptions and is reflective of historical credit experience, economic forecasts viewed to be reasonable and supportable, current loan and lease composition, and relative credit risks known as of the balance sheet date.
Management believes the allowance for credit losses is appropriate for the current expected credit losses in our loan and lease portfolio and associated unfunded loan commitments, and the credit risk ratings and inherent loss rates currently assigned are reasonable and appropriate as of the reporting date. It is possible that others, given the same information, may at any point in time reach different conclusions that could result in a significant impact to the Company's financial statements.

During the six months ended June 30, 2023, nonaccrual loan and leases held for investment increased by $1.1 million to $104.9 million at June 30, 2023 due mainly to additions of $63.9 million, offset partially by principal and other reductions including sales of $48.8 million, charge-offs of $11.9 million and transfers to accrual status of $2.1 million. As of June 30, 2023, the Company's three largest loan relationships on nonaccrual status had an aggregate carrying value of $24.9 million and represented 24% of total nonaccrual loans and leases.
Loans and leases accruing 30-89 days past due generally fluctuate from period to period. The $49.2 million decrease to $49.8 million as of June 30, 2023 was due mainly to a decrease in Civic delinquent loans which included $34.8 million of loans that paid off and $14.4 million of loans that transferred to held for sale in the second quarter.

The increase in classified loans (and subsequent decrease in special mention) during the six months ended June 30, 2023, was driven by downgrades in Multi-family loans as the result of rising interest rates and the related stress on debt service. All of the Multi-family loans downgraded remain well collateralized and current at quarter-end.

Regulatory Matters
Capital
Bank regulatory agencies measure capital adequacy through standardized risk-based capital guidelines that compare different levels of capital (as defined by such guidelines) to risk-weighted assets and off-balance sheet obligations. At June 30, 2023, banks considered to be “well capitalized” must maintain a minimum Tier 1 leverage ratio of 5.00%, a minimum common equity Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio of 6.50%, a minimum Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio of 8.00%, and a minimum Total risk-based capital ratio of 10.00%. Regulatory capital requirements limit the amount of deferred tax assets that may be included when determining the amount of regulatory capital. Deferred tax asset amounts in excess of the calculated limit are disallowed from regulatory capital. At June 30, 2023, such disallowed amounts was $33.1 million for the Company. No assurance can be given that the regulatory capital deferred tax asset limitation will not increase in the future or that the Company will not have increased deferred tax assets that are disallowed.
Basel III currently requires all banking organizations to maintain a 2.50% capital conservation buffer above the minimum risk-based capital requirements to avoid certain limitations on capital distributions, stock repurchases and discretionary bonus payments to executive officers. The capital conservation buffer is exclusively comprised of common equity Tier 1 capital, and it applies to each of the three risk-based capital ratios but not to the leverage ratio. Effective January 1, 2019, the common equity Tier 1, Tier 1, and Total capital ratio minimums inclusive of the capital conservation buffer were 7.00%, 8.50%, and 10.50%. At June 30, 2023, the Company and the Bank were in compliance with the capital conservation buffer requirement.

The Company and the Bank elected the CECL 5-year regulatory transition guidance for calculating regulatory capital ratios and the June 30, 2023 ratios include this election. This regulatory guidance allows an entity to add back to capital 100% of the capital impact from the day one CECL transition adjustment and 25% of subsequent increases to the allowance for credit losses through December 31, 2021. This cumulative amount is now being phased out of regulatory capital evenly over the three years from 2022 to 2024. The add-back as of June 30, 2023 ranged from 0 basis points to 6 basis points for the capital ratios below.
The following tables present a comparison of our actual capital ratios to the minimum required ratios and well capitalized ratios as of the dates indicated:

The Company's consolidated common equity Tier 1 (CET1), Tier 1, and Total capital ratios increased during the six months ended June 30, 2023 due mainly to positive adjusted earnings combined with a decrease in risk-weighted assets. The consolidated Tier 1 leverage ratio decreased during the six months ended June 30, 2023 due mainly to an increase in average assets attributable primarily to higher levels of on-balance sheet liquidity.
Subordinated Debt
We issued or assumed through mergers subordinated debt to trusts that were established by us or entities we acquired, which, in turn, issued trust preferred securities. As of June 30, 2023, the carrying value of subordinated debt totaled $870.4 million. At June 30, 2023, $131.0 million of the trust preferred securities were included in the Company's Tier I capital and $725.1 million were included in Tier II capital.

Dividends on Common Stock and Interest on Subordinated Debt
As a bank holding company, PacWest is required to notify and receive approval from the FRB prior to declaring and paying a dividend to common stockholders during any period in which quarterly and/or cumulative twelve-month net earnings are insufficient to fund the dividend amount, among other requirements. Interest payments made on subordinated debt are considered dividend payments under FRB regulations. We may not pay a dividend if the FRB objects or until such time as we receive approval from the FRB or we no longer need to provide notice under applicable regulations. The Company currently is required to receive FRB approval to declare or pay a dividend to stockholders. Further, if the Company defaults or elects to defer the interest payments on its subordinated debt, it is restricted from paying dividends on its Series A preferred and common stock.
Dividends on Preferred Stock
The Company's ability to pay dividends on the Series A preferred stock depends on the ability of the Bank to pay dividends to the holding company. The ability of the Company and the Bank to pay dividends in the future is subject to bank regulatory requirements, including capital regulations and policies established by the FRB, the FDIC and the DFPI, as applicable. Dividends on the Series A preferred stock will not be declared, paid, or set aside for payment to the extent such act would cause us to fail to comply with applicable laws and regulations, including applicable FRB capital adequacy regulations and policies.
Dividends on the Series A preferred stock are not cumulative or mandatory. If the Company’s Board of Directors does not declare a dividend on the Series A preferred stock in respect of a dividend period, then no dividend shall be deemed to be payable for such dividend period or be cumulative, and the Company will have no obligation to pay any dividend for that dividend period, whether or not the Board of Directors declares a dividend on the Series A preferred stock or any other class or series of its capital stock for any future dividend period. Additionally, so long as any share of Series A preferred stock remains outstanding, unless dividends on all outstanding shares of Series A preferred stock for the most recently completed dividend period have been paid in full or declared and a sum sufficient for the payment thereof has been set aside for payment, no dividend shall be declared or paid or set aside for payment and no distribution shall be declared or made or set aside for payment on the Company’s common stock.
Liquidity
Liquidity Management
Liquidity is the ongoing ability to accommodate liability maturities and deposit withdrawals, fund asset growth and business operations, and meet contractual obligations through unconstrained access to funding at reasonable market rates. Liquidity management involves forecasting funding requirements and maintaining sufficient capacity to meet the needs and accommodate fluctuations in asset and liability levels due to changes in the Company’s business operations or unanticipated events.
We have an Executive Management Asset/Liability Management Committee ("Executive ALM Committee") that is comprised of members of senior management and is responsible for managing commitments to meet the needs of customers while achieving our financial objectives. Our Executive ALM Committee meets regularly to review funding capacities, current and forecasted loan demand, and investment opportunities.
We manage our liquidity by maintaining pools of liquid assets on-balance sheet, consisting of cash and due from banks, interest-earning deposits in other financial institutions, and unpledged securities available-for-sale, which we refer to as our primary liquidity. We also maintain available borrowing capacity under secured credit lines with the FHLB and the FRBSF, which we refer to as our secondary liquidity.
93


As a member of the FHLB, the Bank had secured borrowing capacity with the FHLB of $4.7 billion at June 30, 2023, and nothing was borrowed as of that date. The FHLB secured credit line was collateralized by a blanket lien on $9.2 billion of certain qualifying loans and $21.6 million of securities. The Bank also had secured borrowing capacity with the FRBSF under the Discount Window program totaling $6.6 billion at June 30, 2023, all of which was available, and $4.9 billion under the Bank Term Funding Program, which was fully borrowed as of that date. The FRBSF Discount Window secured credit line was collateralized by liens on $7.0 billion of qualifying loans and $1.4 billion of pledged securities, and the Bank Term Funding Program credit line was collateralized by pledged securities with a market value of $4.3 billion and a par value of $5.0 billion. The Bank Term Funding Program provides borrowing capacity on qualifying government and government agency guaranteed securities based on the collateral par value.
In addition to its secured lines of credit with the FHLB and FRBSF, the Bank also borrowed $1.3 billion under a repurchase agreement facility, which was collateralized by $2.1 billion of loan collateral. The Bank also maintains unsecured lines of credit for the purpose of borrowing overnight funds, subject to availability, of $100.0 million in the aggregate with several correspondent banks. As of June 30, 2023, there was no balance outstanding related to these unsecured lines of credit. The Bank is a member of the AFX, through which it may either borrow or lend funds on an overnight or short-term basis with a group of pre-approved commercial banks. The availability of funds changes daily. As of June 30, 2023, there was no outstanding balance through the AFX.

During the six months ended June 30, 2023, the Company's primary liquidity increased by $698.2 million to $7.0 billion at June 30, 2023 due mainly to a $4.5 billion increase in interest-earning deposits in financial institutions, offset partially by increases of $3.3 billion in pledged AFS securities and $375.0 million in pledged HTM securities. During the six months ended June 30, 2023, the Company's secondary liquidity increased by $4.3 billion to $11.3 billion at June 30, 2023 due mainly to increases in available secured borrowing capacity with the FRBSF and FHLB of $4.1 billion and $231.0 million.

Obtaining new customer deposits, or having existing customers increase their deposit balances with us, are the primary sources of funding for our operations and is one the highest priorities of the Company. See "- Balance Sheet Analysis - Deposits" for additional information and detail of our deposits. Additionally, we generate liquidity from cash flows from our loan and securities portfolios.
Our deposit balances may decrease if customers withdraw funds from the Bank. In order to address the Bank’s liquidity risk from fluctuating deposit balances, the Bank maintains adequate levels of available liquidity on and off the balance sheet.
We use brokered deposits, the availability of which is uncertain and subject to competitive market forces and regulation, for liquidity management purposes. At June 30, 2023, brokered deposits totaled $7.6 billion, consisting of $2.2 billion of non-maturity brokered accounts and $5.4 billion of brokered time deposits. At December 31, 2022, brokered deposits totaled $4.9 billion, consisting of $2.6 billion of non-maturity brokered accounts and $2.3 billion of brokered time deposits.
Our liquidity policy includes guidelines for On-Balance Sheet Liquidity (a measurement of primary liquidity to total deposits plus borrowings), Liquidity Buffer Coverage Ratio (the ratio of cash and unpledged securities to the estimated 30 day cash outflow in a defined stress scenario), Liquidity Stress Test Survival Horizon (the number of days that the Bank's liquidity buffer plus available secured borrowing capacity is sufficient to offset cumulative cash outflow in a defined stress scenario), Loan to Funding Ratio (measurement of gross loans net of fees divided by deposits plus borrowings), Wholesale Funding Ratio (measurement of wholesale funding divided by interest-earning assets), and other guidelines developed for measuring and maintaining liquidity. At June 30, 2023, the Bank was not in compliance with its funding concentration liquidity guidelines due primarily to the elevated balance of wholesale deposits.
In the second quarter of 2023, we introduced a digital account opening tool and in the third quarter we expect to implement an on-line channel for gathering deposits directly from consumers in an effort to increase customer deposits and reduce our balance of wholesale deposits.
Holding Company Liquidity
PacWest acts a source of financial strength for the Bank which can also include being a source of liquidity. The primary sources of liquidity for the holding company include dividends from the Bank, intercompany tax payments from the Bank, and PacWest's ability to raise capital, issue subordinated debt, and secure outside borrowings. PacWest's ability to obtain funds for the payment of dividends to our stockholders, the repurchase of shares of common stock, and other cash requirements is largely dependent upon the Bank’s earnings. The Bank is subject to restrictions under certain federal and state laws and regulations that limit its ability to transfer funds to the holding company through intercompany loans, advances, or cash dividends. PacWest's ability to pay dividends is also subject to the restrictions set forth in Delaware law, by the FRB, and by certain covenants contained in our subordinated debt. See "- Regulatory Matters - Dividends on Preferred Stock" for information regarding the payment of dividends on the Series A preferred stock.
At June 30, 2023, PacWest had $307.4 million in cash and cash equivalents, of which a substantial amount was on deposit at the Bank. We believe this amount of cash, along with anticipated future dividends from the Bank, will be sufficient to fund the holding company’s cash flow needs over the next 12 months.
Our obligations also include off-balance sheet arrangements consisting of loan commitments, of which only a portion is expected to be funded, and standby letters of credit. At June 30, 2023, our loan commitments and standby letters of credit were $5.8 billion and $300.6 million. The loan commitments, a portion of which will eventually result in funded loans, increase our profitability through net interest income when drawn and unused commitment fees prior to being drawn. We manage our overall liquidity taking into consideration funded and unfunded commitments as a percentage of our liquidity sources. Our liquidity sources, as described in "- Liquidity - Liquidity Management," have been and are expected to be sufficient to meet the cash requirements of our lending activities. For further information on loan commitments, see Note 11. Commitments and Contingencies, of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited) contained in "Item 1. Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)."

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
This analysis should be read in conjunction with text under the caption "Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk" in our Form 10-K, which text is incorporated herein by reference. Our analysis of market risk and market-sensitive financial information contains forward-looking statements and is subject to the disclosure at the beginning of Item 2 regarding such forward-looking information.
Market Risk - Foreign Currency Exposure
We enter into foreign exchange contracts with our clients and counterparty banks primarily for the purpose of offsetting or hedging clients' foreign currency exposures arising out of commercial transactions, and we enter into cross currency swaps and foreign exchange contracts to hedge exposures to loans and debt instruments denominated in foreign currencies. We have experienced and will continue to experience fluctuations in our net earnings as a result of transaction gains or losses related to revaluing certain asset and liability balances that are denominated in currencies other than the U.S. Dollar and the derivatives that hedge those exposures. As of June 30, 2023, the U.S. Dollar notional amounts of loans receivable and subordinated debt payable denominated in foreign currencies were $8.7 million and $28.1 million, and the U.S. Dollar notional amounts of derivatives outstanding to hedge these foreign currency exposures were $8.7 million and $28.5 million. We recognized a foreign currency translation net gain of $170,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and a foreign currency translation net gain of $1.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022.
Asset/Liability Management and Interest Rate Sensitivity
Interest Rate Risk
We measure our IRR position on a monthly basis using two methods: (i) NII simulation analysis; and (ii) MVE modeling. The Executive ALM Committee and the Finance Committee of the Company's Board of Directors review the results of these analyses quarterly. If hypothetical changes to interest rates cause changes to our simulated net present value of equity and/or net interest income outside our pre-established limits, we may adjust our asset and liability mix in an effort to bring our interest rate risk exposure within our established limits.
We evaluated the results of our NII simulation model and MVE model prepared as of June 30, 2023, the results of which are presented below. Our NII simulation and MVE model indicate that our balance sheet is liability sensitive. A liability sensitive IRR profile would suggest that our estimated NII and MVE would change in the opposite direction of a sudden sustained change in prevailing interest rates.
Net Interest Income Simulation
We used a NII simulation model to measure the estimated changes in NII that would result over the next 12 months from immediate and sustained changes in interest rates as of June 30, 2023. This model is an interest rate risk management tool and the results are not necessarily an indication of our future net interest income. This model has inherent limitations and these results are based on a given set of rate changes and assumptions at one point in time. We have assumed no growth or changes in the product mix of either our total interest-sensitive assets or liabilities over the next 12 months, therefore the results reflect an interest rate shock to a static balance sheet. For the current quarter, the results of the NII simulation model are exaggerated by the large cash and borrowings positions that existed on June 30, 2023. We expect our NII sensitivity results to reflect less interest rate risk once the large cash and borrowings positions are reduced to more historical levels, which we anticipate happening during the upcoming quarter.
This analysis calculates the difference between NII forecasted using both increasing and decreasing interest rate scenarios using the forward yield curve at June 30, 2023. In order to arrive at the base case, we extend our balance sheet at June 30, 2023 one year and reprice any assets and liabilities that would contractually reprice or mature during that period using the products’ pricing as of June 30, 2023. Based on such repricing, we calculate an estimated NII and NIM for each rate scenario.
96


The NII simulation model is dependent upon numerous assumptions. For example, 31% of our loans are variable rate and 26% are hybrid adjustable rate mortgage loans, which are assumed to reprice in accordance with their contractual terms. Some loans and investment securities include the opportunity of prepayment (embedded options) and the simulation model uses prepayment assumptions to estimate these accelerated cash flows and reinvest these proceeds at current simulated yields. Our interest-bearing deposits reprice at our discretion and are assumed to reprice at a rate less than the change in market rates. The 12-month NII simulation model as of June 30, 2023 assumes interest-bearing deposits reprice at 55% and total deposits reprice at 43% of the change in market rates in a rising interest rate scenario, depending on the amount of the rate change (this is commonly referred to as the "deposit beta"). The effects of certain balance sheet attributes, such as fixed-rate loans, interest rate floors on variable-rate loans, and the volume of noninterest-bearing deposits as a percentage of earning assets, impact our assumptions and consequently the results of our NII simulation model. Additionally, we assume that all market interest rates have an interest rate floor of 0%. Changes that could vary significantly from our assumptions include loan and deposit growth or contraction, loan and deposit pricing, changes in the mix of earning assets or funding sources, and future asset/liability management decisions, all of which may have significant effects on our net interest income.
The following table presents forecasted net interest income and net interest margin for the next 12 months using the static balance sheet as of June 30, 2023 and forward yield curve as of June 30, 2023 (which presumes one interest rate cut over a twelve month horizon) as the base scenario, with immediate and sustained parallel upward and downward movements in interest rates of 100, 200, and 300 basis points as of the date indicated:

During the six months ended June 30, 2023, total base case year 1 tax equivalent NII decreased by $650.6 million or 51% to $624.7 million at June 30, 2023 compared to December 31, 2022, and the base case tax equivalent NIM decreased to 1.73% at June 30, 2023 from 3.21% at December 31, 2022. The decrease in year 1 NII and tax equivalent NIM compared to the December 31, 2022 forecasted NII and NIM was attributable to the change in the funding mix at June 30, 2023 compared to December 31, 2022, as the average balance of noninterest-bearing deposits decreased by $7.6 billion, the average balance of interest-bearing deposits increased by $784.6 million, and the average balance of borrowings increased by $10.5 billion. These funding mix changes resulted in a $444.6 million increase in forecasted interest expense. Forecasted interest income decreased by $206.3 million due primarily to the lower average loan and lease balance following the loan sales in the second quarter. The change in the funding mix at June 30, 2023 from December 31, 2022 was in response to recent industry events.
In addition to parallel interest rate shock scenarios, we also model various alternative rate vectors. The most favorable alternate rate vector that we model is the “Gradual Decrease” scenario, which applies a parallel ramped decrease to the yield curve over an 18-month horizon. In the “Gradual Decrease” scenario, Year 1 tax equivalent NII increases by 0.9%. The most unfavorable alternate rate vector that we model is the “Gradual Increase” scenario, in which rates increase over an 18-month ramped horizon. In the “Gradual Increase” scenario, Year 1 tax equivalent NII decreases by 6.5%.
At June 30, 2023, we had $22.7 billion of total gross loans that included $7.1 billion or 31% with variable interest rate terms (excluding hybrid loans discussed below). Of the variable interest rate loans, $6.13 billion, or 86%, contained interest rate floor provisions, which included $6.08 billion of loans that were at or above their floors and only $51.7 million of loans below their floors.
97


At June 30, 2023, we also had $6.0 billion of variable-rate hybrid loans, representing 26% of total loans, which do not reprice immediately because the loans contain an initial fixed-rate period before they become variable. The cumulative amounts of hybrid loans that would switch from being fixed-rate to variable-rate because the initial fixed-rate term would expire were approximately $124.0 million, $496.1 million, and $1.4 billion in the next one, two, and three years.
LIBOR was phased out on June 30, 2023, as such the Company stopped originations of LIBOR-indexed loans effective December 31, 2021. The business processes impacted relate primarily to our variable-rate loans and our subordinated debt, both of which are indexed to LIBOR. For further information, see Item 7A. "Risk Factors" of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022.
Market Value of Equity
We measure the impact of market interest rate changes on the net present value of estimated cash flows from our assets, liabilities, and off-balance sheet items, defined as the market value of equity, using our MVE model. This simulation model assesses the changes in the market value of our interest-sensitive financial instruments that would occur in response to an instantaneous and sustained increase and decrease in market interest rates of 100, 200, and 300 basis points. This analysis assigns significant value to our noninterest-bearing deposit balances. The projections include various assumptions regarding cash flows and interest rates and are by their nature forward-looking and inherently uncertain.
The MVE model is an interest rate risk management tool and the results are not necessarily an indication of our actual future results. Actual results may vary significantly from the results suggested by the market value of equity table. Loan prepayments and deposit attrition, changes in the mix of our earning assets or funding sources, and future asset/liability management decisions, among others, may vary significantly from our assumptions. The base case is determined by applying various current market discount rates to the estimated cash flows from the different types of assets, liabilities, and off-balance sheet items existing at June 30, 2023.
The following table shows the projected change in the market value of equity for the rate scenarios presented as of the date indicated:

_______________________________________ 
(1)    The ratio of base case of projected MVE to the Company's total stockholders' equity was 1.78 at June 30, 2023 and 2.15 at December 31, 2022. The MVE methodology and the application of the various assumptions as of June 30, 2023 are consistent with December 31, 2022.
During the six months ended June 30, 2023, total base case projected market value of equity decreased from December 31, 2022 by $4.0 billion to $4.5 billion at June 30, 2023. This decrease in base case projected MVE was due mostly to: (1) a $2.8 billion net increase in the mark-to-market adjustment for total deposits, borrowings, and subordinated debt, offset partially by (2) a $267.9 million increase in the mark-to-market adjustment for loans and leases; (3) a $1.3 million increase in the mark-to-market adjustment for investment securities held-to-maturity; and (4) a $1.42 billion decrease in the book value of stockholders' equity. The decrease in the book value of stockholders' equity was due mainly to a $1.39 billion net loss attributable primarily to a $1.38 billion goodwill impairment charge and $30.5 million of common stock cash dividends paid, offset partially by a $17.1 million decline in accumulated other comprehensive loss.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
As of the end of the period covered by this report, an evaluation was carried out by the Company's management, with the participation of the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934). Based upon that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of the end of the period covered by this report, these disclosure controls and procedures were effective.
There have been no changes in the Company's internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) during our most recent fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company's internal control over financial reporting.
PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
The information set forth in Note 11. Commitments and Contingencies in the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited) is incorporated herein by reference.
In addition, in the ordinary course of our business, we are party to various legal actions, which we believe are incidental to the operation of our business. The outcome of such legal actions and the timing of ultimate resolution are inherently difficult to predict. In the opinion of management, based upon information currently available to us, any resulting liability, in addition to amounts already accrued, and taking into consideration insurance which may be applicable, would not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial statements or operations.
ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS
For information regarding factors that could affect the Company's results of operations, financial condition and liquidity, see the risk factors disclosed in the "Risk Factors" section of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022 and of our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2023. See also "Forward-Looking Information" disclosed in Part I, Item 2 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and the updated Risk Factors below:
Regulatory approvals may not be received, may take longer than expected, or may impose conditions that are not presently anticipated or that could have an adverse effect on the combined company following the merger with Banc.
Before the merger with Banc and the subsequent merger of Pacific Western Bank and Banc of California, N.A. (the “bank merger”) may be completed, the requisite approvals, consents and non-objections must be obtained from the FRB and the DFPI. Other approvals, waivers or consents from regulators may also be required, both for the merger and the equity investments.
In determining whether to grant these approvals, such regulatory authorities consider a variety of factors. These approvals could be delayed, or not obtained at all, including due to a party’s regulatory standing (or adverse development in respect thereof) or due to any other factors considered by regulators when granting such approvals, including governmental, political or community group inquiries, investigations or opposition, or changes in legislation or the political environment generally.
The approvals that are granted may impose terms and conditions, limitations, obligations or costs, or place restrictions on the conduct of the combined company’s business or require changes to the terms of the transactions contemplated by the merger agreement. There can be no assurance that regulators will not impose any such conditions, limitations, obligations or restrictions and that such conditions, limitations, obligations or restrictions will not have the effect of delaying or jeopardizing the completion of any of the transactions contemplated by the merger agreement, imposing additional material costs on or materially limiting the revenues of the combined company following the merger or otherwise reducing the anticipated benefits of the merger (including the equity investments and their inclusion as CET1 capital, assuming the merger and the equity investments are consummated successfully and within the expected timeframe). In addition, there can be no assurance that any such conditions, limitations, obligations or restrictions will not result in abandonment of the merger by either party. Additionally, the completion of the merger is conditioned on the absence of certain orders, injunctions or decrees by any governmental entity of competent jurisdiction that would prevent, prohibit or make illegal the completion of any of the transactions contemplated by the merger agreement.
99


PacWest and Banc have agreed in the merger agreement to use reasonable best efforts to consummate the transactions contemplated by the merger agreement on the terms and conditions set forth therein, including using reasonable best efforts to satisfy all conditions and covenants under their control in the merger agreement. However, under the terms of the merger agreement, neither PacWest nor Banc, nor any of their respective subsidiaries, is required or permitted (without the written consent of the other party) to take any action, or commit to take or refrain from taking any action, or agree to any condition or restriction, in connection with obtaining the required permits, authorizations, consents, orders or approvals of governmental entities that would (i) reasonably be expected to require the combined company or any other person to issue equity securities or otherwise raise capital in excess of the amount contemplated by the equity investments; or (ii) (A) not apply to a similarly sized financial holding company and state member bank that are well-capitalized and well-managed and (B) be materially more burdensome, individually or in the aggregate, on the operations, business or profitability of the combined company and its subsidiaries than those imposed on Banc or Banc of California, N.A. as of the date of the merger agreement (a “materially burdensome regulatory condition”).
Consummation of the merger is conditioned upon the substantially concurrent closing of the equity investments, which are subject to certain conditions.
As a condition to the consummation of the merger with Banc, Banc must substantially concurrently therewith receive $400 million (in the aggregate) or greater of equity investments in Banc’s equity securities qualifying as CET1 capital.
Under the investment agreements, the consummation of the equity investments are subject to a number of conditions, including that the Warburg Investors and the Centerbridge Investors each must have received reasonably satisfactory oral confirmation from staff of the legal division of the FRB that the consummation of the applicable equity investments will not result in such Investor being deemed to have, or to have acquired, “control” of Banc for purposes of the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956 (the “BHC Act”) or the Change in Bank Control Act of 1978 (the “CIBC Act”). The investment agreements also provide that neither Banc nor any of its subsidiaries is permitted (without the consent of the other party), and the Investors shall not be required, to take any actions, or to commit to take or refrain from taking any actions, or to accept or agree to any conditions or restrictions, that would reasonably be expected to cause them to control Banc for purposes of the BHC Act or the CIBC Act, serve as a source of financial strength to Banc pursuant to the BHC Act or enter into any capital or liquidity maintenance agreements or similar agreements with any governmental entity, provide capital support to Banc, PacWest or any of their respective subsidiaries or otherwise commit to or contribute any additional capital to, provide other funds to or make any other investment in Banc, PacWest or any of their respective subsidiaries. If the regulatory authorities were to require any such actions, the Investors would not be required to satisfy their obligations to consummate the equity investments under the investment agreements. If any Investor fails to consummate its equity investment, Banc may be required to seek qualifying equity investments from other third parties, which may or may not be available (and may or may not be available on the same terms as applicable to such equity investment). Failure to consummate (or a delay in consummating) the equity investments may cause the failure or delay in the ability of parties to consummate the merger.
Failure to consummate the merger could negatively impact PacWest.
The consummation of the merger is subject to the receipt of requisite regulatory and stockholder approvals and the satisfaction of other closing conditions, including the substantially concurrent consummation of the equity investments, as noted above. If the merger is not completed for any reason, including as a result of PacWest’s or Banc’s stockholders failing to grant the applicable requisite stockholder approval at the applicable company’s special stockholders meeting or the imposition of a materially burdensome regulatory condition resulting in either PacWest or Banc refusing to consummate the merger, there may be various adverse consequences, and PacWest may experience negative reactions from the financial markets and from its customers and employees. For example, PacWest’s business may be impacted adversely by the failure to pursue other beneficial opportunities due to the focus of management on the merger, without realizing any of the anticipated benefits of consummating the merger. Additionally, if the merger agreement is terminated, the market price of PacWest’s securities could decline to the extent that current market prices reflect a market assumption that the merger (including the equity investments) will be beneficial and will be consummated. PacWest also could be subject to litigation related to any failure to complete the merger or to proceedings commenced against PacWest to perform its obligations under the merger agreement.
100


Additionally, PacWest has incurred and will incur substantial expenses in connection with the negotiation and completion of the transactions contemplated by the merger agreement, as well as the costs and expenses of preparing, filing, printing and mailing of a joint proxy statement/prospectus in connection with the merger, and all applicable filing and other fees paid in connection with the merger. If the merger is not completed, PacWest would have to pay these expenses without realizing the expected benefits of the merger. Although PacWest may be entitled to receive a termination fee of $39.5 million from Banc and/or expense reimbursement with respect to certain costs and expenses associated with the balance sheet repositioning (as defined below) if the merger agreement is terminated under certain circumstances, such payments may not be sufficient to fully compensate PacWest for the losses it may incur in connection with a failure of the merger to be consummated.
Combining PacWest and Banc and the balance sheet repositioning may be more difficult, costly or time-consuming than expected, and the combined company may fail to realize the anticipated benefits of the merger.
The success of the merger will depend, in part, on the ability of PacWest and Banc to dispose certain assets in the planned balance sheet repositioning (the “balance sheet repositioning”) along with anticipated cost savings from combining the businesses of PacWest and Banc. To realize the anticipated benefits and cost savings from the merger, PacWest and Banc must successfully dispose of assets at or after closing, which is inherently subject to market conditions and the risk that such conditions will be less favorable than what the parties expected when entering into the merger agreement. Additionally, although the balance sheet repositioning is not a condition to complete the merger under the merger agreement, the regulators may not grant the requisite regulatory approvals until the balance sheet repositioning is completed, in order to minimize capital and liquidity risk to the combined company. Therefore, any inability to complete the balance sheet repositioning transactions by either PacWest or Banc could potentially have the effect of delaying or even denying the requisite regulatory approvals and the consummation of the merger.
Following the merger, PacWest and Banc must successfully integrate and combine their businesses in a manner that permits those benefits and cost savings to be realized without adversely affecting current revenues and future growth. If PacWest and Banc are not able to successfully achieve these objectives, the anticipated benefits of the merger may not be realized fully or at all or may take longer to realize than expected. In addition, the actual cost savings of the merger could be less than anticipated, and integration may result in additional and unforeseen expenses.
An inability to realize the full extent of the anticipated benefits of the merger and the other transactions contemplated by the merger agreement (including the balance sheet repositioning), as well as any delays encountered in the integration process, could have an adverse effect upon the capital position, revenues, levels of expenses and operating results of the combined company following the completion of the merger, which may adversely affect the value of the common stock of the combined company following the completion of the merger.
PacWest and Banc have operated and, until the completion of the merger, must continue to operate, independently. It is possible that the integration process could result in the loss of key employees, the disruption of each company’s ongoing businesses or inconsistencies in standards, controls, procedures and policies that adversely affect the companies’ ability to maintain relationships with their stakeholders or to achieve the anticipated benefits and cost savings of the merger. Integration efforts between the companies may also divert management attention and resources. These integration matters could have an adverse effect on PacWest during this pre-closing period and for an undetermined period after consummation of the merger on the combined company.
Furthermore, the board of directors and executive leadership of the combined company and bank will consist of former directors and executive officers from each of PacWest and Banc, as well as a director designated by the Warburg Investors. Combining the boards of directors and management teams of each company into a single board of directors and a single management team could require the reconciliation of differing priorities and philosophies.
101


The combined company may be unable to retain PacWest or Banc personnel successfully after the merger is completed.
The success of the merger will depend, in part, on the combined company’s ability to retain the talent and dedication of key employees currently employed by PacWest and Banc. It is possible that these employees may decide not to remain with PacWest or Banc, as applicable, while the merger is pending or with the combined company after the merger is consummated. If PacWest and Banc are unable to retain key employees, including management, who are critical to the successful integration and future operations of the companies and the combined company, PacWest and Banc could face disruptions in their operations, loss of existing customers, loss of key information, expertise or know-how and unanticipated additional recruitment costs. In addition, following the merger, if key employees terminate their employment, the combined company’s business activities may be adversely affected, and management’s attention may be diverted from successfully hiring suitable replacements, all of which may cause the combined company’s business to suffer. PacWest and Banc also may not be able to locate or retain suitable replacements for any key employees who leave either company.
PacWest will be subject to business uncertainties and contractual restrictions while the merger is pending.
Uncertainty about the effect of the merger on employees and customers may have an adverse effect on PacWest. These uncertainties may impair PacWest’s ability to retain and motivate key personnel until the merger is completed, and could cause customers and others that deal with PacWest to seek to change existing business relationships with PacWest. In addition, subject to certain exceptions, PacWest has agreed to operate its business in the ordinary course in all material respects and to refrain from taking certain actions that may adversely affect its ability to consummate the transactions contemplated by the merger agreement on a timely basis without the consent of Banc. These restrictions may prevent PacWest from pursuing attractive business opportunities that may arise prior to the completion of the merger.
PacWest has incurred and is expected to incur substantial costs related to the merger and integration.
PacWest has incurred and expects to incur a number of non-recurring costs associated with the merger. These costs include legal, financial, accounting, consulting and other advisory fees, retention, severance and employee benefit-related costs, public company filing fees and other regulatory fees, financial printing and other printing costs, and closing, integration and other related costs. Some of these costs are payable by PacWest regardless of whether the merger is completed.
Stockholder litigation related to the merger and/or the equity investments could prevent or delay the completion of the merger and/or the equity investments, result in the payment of damages or otherwise negatively impact the business and operations of PacWest.
Stockholders may bring claims in connection with the proposed merger and, in the case of Banc, the proposed equity investments and, among other remedies, may seek damages or an injunction preventing the merger and/or the equity investments from closing. If any plaintiff were successful in obtaining an injunction prohibiting PacWest or Banc from completing the merger or any other transactions contemplated by the merger agreement or Banc and the Investors from consummating the equity investments (or any portion thereof), then such injunction may delay or prevent the effectiveness of the merger and could result in costs to PacWest, including costs in connection with the defense or settlement of any stockholder lawsuits filed in connection with the merger. Further, such lawsuits and the defense or settlement of any such lawsuits may have an adverse effect on the financial condition and results of operations of PacWest.
102


The merger agreement may be terminated in accordance with its terms, and the merger may not be completed.
The obligation of the merger agreement parties to consummate the merger is subject to a number of conditions that must be satisfied or waived in order to complete the merger. Those conditions include, among other things: (i) receiving the requisite approval by each of PacWest stockholders and Banc stockholders of certain matters relating to the merger at each company’s respective special stockholders meeting; (ii) the receipt of required regulatory approvals from the FRB and the DFPI; (iii) the absence of any order, injunction, decree or other legal restraint preventing the consummation of the merger, the bank merger or any of the other transactions contemplated by the merger agreement or making the consummation of the merger, the bank merger or any of the other transactions contemplated by the merger agreement illegal; and (iv) the consummation of the purchase and sale of a total of $400 million or greater investment in Banc’s qualifying equity securities substantially concurrently with the closing of the merger. Each party’s obligation to complete the merger is also subject to certain additional conditions, including (a) subject to applicable materiality standards, the accuracy of the representations and warranties of the other party (including the absence of any material adverse effect, as defined in the merger agreement), (b) the performance in all material respects by the other party of its obligations under the merger agreement and (c) the receipt by each party of an opinion from its counsel to the effect that the merger will qualify as a reorganization within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code").
These conditions to the merger may not be satisfied or waived in a timely manner or at all, and, accordingly, the merger may not be consummated. In addition, the parties can mutually decide to terminate the merger agreement at any time, before or after the requisite stockholder approvals, or PacWest or Banc may elect to terminate the merger agreement in certain other circumstances, including by Banc upon the occurrence of a material adverse effect under certain circumstances with respect to PacWest or by PacWest upon the occurrence of a material adverse effect under certain circumstances with respect to Banc.
PacWest’s ability to use net operating loss carryforwards and other tax attributes may be limited in connection with the mergers or other ownership changes.
Both PacWest and Banc are expected to incur taxable losses in connection with the balance sheet repositioning. To the extent these taxable losses exceed PacWest’s or Banc’s taxable income, as applicable, unused losses will carry forward to offset a portion of future taxable income, if any, until such unused losses expire, if at all.
Under Sections 382 and 383 of the Code, these federal net operating loss carryforwards, certain losses incurred following the mergers, and other tax attributes may become subject to an annual limitation in the event of certain cumulative changes in PacWest’s or Banc’s ownership. An “ownership change” pursuant to Section 382 of the Code generally occurs if one or more stockholders or groups of stockholders who own at least 5% of a company’s stock increase their ownership by more than 50 percentage points over their lowest ownership percentage within a rolling three-year period. PacWest’s ability to utilize net operating loss carryforwards, certain losses incurred following the mergers, and other tax attributes to offset future taxable income or tax liabilities may be limited as a result of ownership changes, including potential changes in connection with the mergers or other transactions. Similar rules may apply under state tax laws. We have not yet determined the amount of the cumulative change in PacWest’s and Banc’s ownership resulting from the mergers or other transactions, or any resulting limitations on our ability to utilize our net operating loss carryforwards, certain losses incurred following the mergers, and other tax attributes. Such limitations could result in increased future income tax liability to us, and our future cash flows could be adversely affected. The effect of such limitations could also adversely affect PacWest’s regulatory capital ratios.
In certain circumstances, to preserve our ability to utilize our tax attributes without limitation, PacWest (or the combined company) may take actions to attempt to prevent an “ownership change” from occurring, including by adopting provisions that would limit or discourage stockholders from acquiring 5% or more of the company, or in the case of stockholders that already own 5% or more of the company, from increasing their ownership. There can be no assurances that such actions will be available, if such actions are available, whether we will decide to undertake any such actions and if such actions are undertaken, whether such actions would be effective in preventing an “ownership change” pursuant to Section 382 of the Code.
