Community Bank Acquisition

On August 10, 2018, the Company completed the acquisition of CB, headquartered in Pasadena, California. The Company acquired all of the assets and assumed all of the liabilities of CB for $180.7 million in cash and $722.8 million in stock. As a result, CB was merged with the Bank, the principal subsidiary of CVB. The primary reason for the acquisition was to further strengthen the Company’s presence in Southern California. At close, CB had 16 banking centers located throughout the greater Los Angeles and Orange County areas. The systems integration of CB and CBB was completed in November 2018. The consolidation of banking centers was completed during the second quarter of 2019, in which four additional banking centers that were in close proximity were consolidated. For the first six months of 2019, a total of 10 banking centers were consolidated, including nine former CB centers.

The assets acquired and liabilities assumed have been accounted for under the acquisition method of accounting. The assets and liabilities, both tangible and intangible, were recorded at their estimated fair values as of the August 10, 2018 acquisition date. The purchase price allocation was finalized in the second quarter of 2019. The change in goodwill resulted from finalizing the fair value of impaired loans. The application of the acquisition method of accounting resulted in the recognition of goodwill of $547.1 million and a core deposit intangible (“CDI”) of $52.2 million, or 2.26% of core deposits. Goodwill represents the excess purchase price over the fair value of the net assets acquired. Goodwill is not deductible for income tax purposes.

The table below summarizes the amounts recognized for the estimated fair value of assets acquired and the liabilities assumed as of the acquisition date

The Company’s best estimate of the contractual principal cash flows for loans not expected to be collected at the date of acquisition was approximately $4.5 million.

We have included the financial results of the business combination in the consolidated statement of earnings and comprehensive income beginning on the acquisition date.

For the year ended December 31, 2020, the Company did not incur any merger related expenses associated with the CB acquisition, compared to $6.4 million and $16.4 million for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively.

For illustrative purposes only, the following table presents certain unaudited pro forma information for the year ended December 31, 2018. This unaudited estimated pro forma financial information was calculated as if CB had been acquired as of the beginning of the year prior to the date of acquisition. This unaudited pro forma information combines the historical results of CB with the Company’s consolidated historical results and includes certain adjustments reflecting the estimated impact of certain fair value adjustments for the respective periods. The pro forma information is not indicative of what would have occurred had the acquisition occurred as of the beginning of the year prior to the acquisition. The unaudited pro forma information does not consider any changes to the provision for credit losses resulting from recording loan assets at fair value, cost savings, or business synergies. As a result, actual amounts would have differed from the unaudited pro forma information presented.
