Banc of California, Inc. (the &#147;Company&#148;) and Bank of California, N.A., a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (the &#147;Bank&#148;), upon the recommendation of the Joint Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee of the Boards,
increased the size of each Board from eight directors to nine directors and appointed B. A. Fallon-Walsh as a director of the Company and the Bank, effective September&nbsp;1, 2018. Ms.&nbsp;Fallon-Walsh&#146;s initial term as a director of the
Company will expire at the Company&#146;s 2019 Annual Meeting of Stockholders. The committees of the Boards to which Ms.&nbsp;Fallon-Walsh has been named are the Joint Compensation and Human Capital Committee and the Joint Enterprise Risk Committee.
</P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Ms.&nbsp;Fallon-Walsh has been a director of Alliance Bernstein since 2017 and MONY America since May 2012 and has more than 35 years of experience in
banking and financial services. She has also served as a director of various other AXA companies including AXA Equitable and AXA Financial, and Paris-based AXA Investment Managers. From 1995 until her retirement in 2012, Ms.&nbsp;Fallon-Walsh was
with The Vanguard Group, where she led High Net Worth Services, Core Investor Services, Institutional Marketing and Institutional Retirement Plan Services, among other leadership positions. Prior to joining Vanguard, she was an Executive Vice
President with Bank of America and a predecessor company, Security Pacific Bank, in California. Her banking leadership roles included retail banking, strategic planning, marketing, product management and electronic delivery, and residential mortgage
product development and secondary marketing. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Ms.&nbsp;Fallon-Walsh will generally be entitled to the same compensation arrangement as is provided to the

that cash components of director compensation, which were previously paid in monthly installments, are now payable in quarterly installments, paid in advance of each quarter; provided that management is authorized to pay cash components in monthly
installments on a <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap"><FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">case-by-case</FONT></FONT> basis if the circumstances so warrant (for example, in the event a director&#146;s anticipated service is less than a quarter). </P>
