Related Party Transactions [Abstract]
RELATED-PARTY TRANSACTIONS	RELATED-PARTY TRANSACTIONS General. Certain of our executive officers and directors, and their related interests, are clients of, or have had transactions with, the Bank in the ordinary course of business, including deposits, loans and other financial services-related transactions. From time to time, the Bank may make loans to executive officers and directors, and their related interests, in the ordinary course of business and on substantially the same terms and conditions, including interest rates and collateral, as those of comparable transactions with non-insiders prevailing at the time, in accordance with the Bank’s underwriting guidelines, and do not involve more than the normal risk of collectability or present other unfavorable features. As of December 31, 2019, no related party loans were categorized as nonaccrual, past due, restructured or potential problem loans. The Bank also has an Employee Loan Program which is available to all employees and offers executive officers, directors and principal stockholders that meet the eligibility requirements the opportunity to participate on the same terms as employees generally, provided that any loan to an executive officer, director or principal stockholder must be approved by the Bank’s Board of Directors. The sole benefit provided under the Employee Loan Program is a reduction in loan fees. Deposits from related parties and their affiliates amounted to $11.6 million and $11.1 million at December 31, 2019 and 2018. There are certain deposits described below, which are not included in the foregoing amounts. Indemnification for Costs of Counsel for Current and Former Executive Officers and Directors in Connection with Special Committee Investigation, SEC Investigation and Related Matters. On November 3, 2016, in connection with an investigation by the Special Committee of our Board of Directors, our Board authorized and directed us to provide indemnification, advancement and/or reimbursement for the costs of separate independent counsel retained by any then-current officer or director, in their individual capacity, with respect to matters related to the investigation, and to advise them on their rights and obligations with respect to the investigation. At the direction of our Board, this indemnification, advancement and/or reimbursement is, to the extent applicable, subject to the indemnification agreement that each officer and director previously entered into with us, which includes an undertaking to repay any expenses advanced if it is ultimately determined that the officer or director was not entitled to indemnification under such agreements and applicable law. In addition, we are providing indemnification, advancement and/or reimbursement for costs related to (i) a formal order of investigation issued by the SEC on January 4, 2017 directed primarily at certain of the issues that the Special Committee reviewed and (ii) any related civil or administrative proceedings against the Company as well as officers currently or previously associated with the Company. On December 19, 2019, we were informed by SEC staff that they have concluded their investigation as to the Company, and they do not intend to recommend an enforcement action against the Company to the SEC. During the year ended December 31, 2019, indemnification costs paid by us included $11.9 million incurred by our former Chair, President and Chief Executive Officer Steven A. Sugarman; $795 thousand jointly incurred by our former Interim Chief Financial Officer and Chief Strategy Officer J. Francisco A. Turner and our former Chief Financial Officer James J. McKinney; $879 thousand incurred by our former General Counsel Emeritus John C. Grosvenor; and $180 thousand incurred by former Bank director Cynthia Abercrombie.
