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 the Compensation Discussion and Analysis section of this proxy statement.
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 earnings (loss) and ROATCE for the year ended December 31, 2024 and 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. Net earnings and 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.    This measure has been designated as the "Company-Selected Measure" for 2024, 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 2024. ROATCE is computed by dividing net earnings (loss) available to common and equivalent stockholders, after adjustment for goodwill impairment (if applicable), amortization of intangible assets, and preferred stock dividends, by average tangible common equity. Average tangible common equity is calculated by subtracting intangible assets and preferred stock from average stockholders' equity. See the Appendix - Non-GAAP Measures section in this proxy statement.
(9)    Summary compensation table total for CEO and average summary compensation table total for non-CEO in 2024 included the grant date fair values of the Stockholder Value Creation Award PSUs. These awards vest upon the Company stock achieving a volume-weighted average price of $28.73 for a consecutive twenty-trading day period within four years from the date of grant and continued service through the fourth anniversary of the date of grant. For more information, see the Compensation Discussion and Analysis—Incentive (Performance) Based Compensation section in this proxy statement.
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, however the proxy rules do not permit us to reverse a previously reported grant date fair value from the 2022 row of the Summary Compensation Table, despite the fact that none of our executive officers will receive any value associated with the 2022 awards. See the Treatment of our Outstanding Equity Awards upon the PacWest Merger section in the 2024 proxy statement.
