Additional 402(v) Disclosure
As required by the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010 (the Dodd-Frank Act) and the SEC’s implementing rules, we are providing the following information about the relationship between the compensation paid to our principal executive officer (PEO, also known as our CEO) and other NEOs and certain measures of financial performance. Further information about how we seek to align executive compensation with our performance is contained under Compensation Discussion and Analysis.
TSR assumes an initial investment of $100 in our common stock and that the subsequent dividends are reinvested. Information presented is historical only and may not be indicative of possible future performance.Net income and return on average tangible common equity (ROATCE) for the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021, and 2020 represent reported financial results and metric of the legacy Banc of California on which compensation was based. Net loss and ROATCE for the year ended December 31, 2023 represent reported financial results and metric of the combined company. Following the PacWest Merger, net loss for the year ended December 31, 2023 reflect PacWest financial results only on a standalone basis until the closing of the PacWest Merger on November 30, 2023, and results of the combined company for the month of December 2023.    This measure has been designated as the "Company-Selected Measure" for 2023, in accordance with SEC rules, and represents the most important financial performance measure (that is not otherwise required to be disclosed in the table) used by the Company to link compensation actually paid to our NEOs in 2023. For the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021, and 2020, ROATCE is computed by dividing net income (loss) available to common stockholders, after adjustment for amortization of intangible assets, by average tangible common equity. For the year ended December 31, 2023, ROATCE is computed by dividing net loss available to common and equivalent stockholders, after adjustment for goodwill impairment and amortization of intangible assets, by average tangible common equity. See Appendix A in this proxy statement for Non-GAAP Reconciliation.Summary compensation table total for CEO and average summary compensation table total for non-CEO in 2022 included the grant date fair values of the Stockholder Value Creation Award PSUs. Such awards were cancelled at the effective time of the PacWest Merger. See Treatment of our Outstanding Equity Awards upon the PacWest Merger section in this proxy statement.
