Item 1.01               Entry into a Definitive Material Agreement

 

On October 28, 2009, 1st Pacific Bancorp (“1st Pacific Bancorp”), its wholly-owned subsidiary, 1st Pacific Bank of California, FB Bancorp and First Business Bank, National Association (“First Business Bank”), entered into a Termination Agreement (“Termination Agreement”), pursuant to which the parties terminated the Agreement and Plan of Merger dated July 16, 2009, between such parties (the “Merger Agreement”).  The Merger Agreement contemplated a series of mergers, the result of which would have been that each outstanding share of 1st Pacific Bancorp’s common stock would have been converted into the right to receive (i) $1.40 in cash, and (ii) a percentage of the potential recoveries of certain charged-off loans and a lawsuit, and First Business Bank’s shareholders would have become the shareholders of 1st Pacific Bancorp.  The Merger Agreement was terminated by the mutual consent of the parties in part because the current economic and regulatory environment presented unanticipated complications that could not be overcome given the structure of the transaction.  No early termination penalties were incurred by any of the parties to the Merger Agreement in connection with its termination.  Along with the termination of the Merger Agreement, the Termination Agreement also provides for the mutual release of claims by the parties against each other arising out of the Merger Agreement.

 

The descriptions of the Merger Agreement and the Termination Agreement herein are only summaries and are qualified in their entirety by the full text of such documents.  The Termination Agreement is filed as an exhibit to this Current Report on Form 8-K, and is incorporated by reference herein.  The Merger Agreement was filed as exhibit 10.1 to the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed on July 17, 2009, and is incorporated by reference herein.

 

Item 1.02               Termination of a Material Definitive Agreement.

 

The information set forth above in Item 1.01 regarding the termination of the Merger Agreement is hereby incorporated into this Item 1.02 by reference.

 

Item 8.01               Other Events.

 

Also on October 28, 2009, 1st Pacific Bancorp and First Business Bank issued  a joint press release announcing their termination of the Agreement (“Press Release”).  The description herein of the Press Release is only a summary and is qualified in its entirety by the full text of such document, which is filed as an exhibit hereto and is incorporated by reference herein.
