Item 8.01 Other Events.

On June 28, 2011, First PacTrust Bancorp, Inc. (the "Company") announced the closing of its previously announced underwritten public offering of 1,583,641 shares of its voting common stock at a price to the public of $15.50 per share ($14.6475 per share, net of underwriting discounts and commissions) for gross proceeds of approximately $24.5 million. The Company has granted the underwriters a 30-day option to purchase up to an additional 237,546 shares of common stock to cover over-allotments, if any, at the offering price for potential additional gross proceeds of approximately $3.7 million.

Additionally, pursuant to existing contractual rights, St. Cloud Capital Partners II, L.P. and TCW Shared Opportunities Fund V, L.P., each an existing shareholder of the Company (the "Existing Investors"), purchased from the Company in a separate registered offering made directly to them by the Company, an aggregate of 207,360 shares of the Company's voting common stock at a price of $14.6475 per share (the same price per share as offered to the public in the underwritten public offering, net of underwriting discounts and commissions), for gross proceeds of approximately $3.0 million. If and to the extent the underwriters exercise their over-allotment option, the Existing Investors have agreed to purchase from the Company an aggregate of up to 31,104 additional shares of the Company's voting common stock, for potential additional gross proceeds of approximately $456,000, with the percentage of such additional shares to be purchased by them equal to the same percentage of the over-allotment option exercised by the underwriters.

A copy of the press release issued by the Company announcing the closing of the offerings is attached to this report as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.
