CVB Financial Corp. Announces Repayment of Federal Home Loan Bank Advances

Ontario, CA, August 30, 2012 – CVB Financial Corp. (NASDAQ: CVBF) announced today that its principal subsidiary, Citizens Business Bank (“CBB”), has repaid five outstanding fixed rate loans from the Federal Home Loan Bank, in an aggregate principal amount of $250 million, with an average coupon of 3.39%. The repayment of these advances, which resulted in a $20.4 million termination expense on a pre-tax basis, was funded from CBB deposits at the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco. The effective date of the transactions was August 28, 2012.

CBB took this action to: (1) deleverage the balance sheet and (2) reduce ongoing funding costs. Management is confident that the Company has sufficient cash reserves, both before and after consummation of these loan prepayments and payment of the associated prepayment fees, to fund its current business activities. The Bank focused this set of prepayments on its Federal Home Loan Bank loans maturing in 2015, with relatively shorter maturities, but may consider prepaying a later-maturing Federal Home Loan Bank loan in the future, as circumstances merit.
