ITEM 5.07  SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS
 
 
On May 29, 2013, Pacific Premier Bancorp, Inc. (the “Company”) held its 2013 Annual Meeting of Stockholders (the “2013 Annual Meeting”).  Set forth below are the three proposals that were voted on at 2013 Annual Meeting and the stockholder votes on each such proposal, as certified by the 2013 Annual Meeting inspector of election.  The Company’s stockholders approved each of the three proposals, which are described in detail in the Definitive Proxy Statement, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 16, 2013.  Other than the three proposals set forth below and described in the Definitive Proxy Statement, no other item was submitted at the 2013 Annual Meeting for stockholder action.
 
 
On the record date for the 2013 Annual Meeting, there were 15,437,531 shares of Company common stock issued, outstanding and entitled to vote. Stockholders holding 12,838,583 shares of Company common stock were present at the 2013 Annual Meeting, in person or represented by proxy.  
 
 
 
Proposal 1:  Each nominee for director, as listed in the Definitive Proxy Statement, was elected to serve a one-year term.  The votes were as follows:*

Proposal 3:  The appointment of Vavrinek, Trine, Day, & Co., LLP as independent auditors of the Company for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2013 was ratified, having received the following votes:
 
For
   
Against
   
Abstain
   
Broker Non-Votes
 
  12,654,774       142,878       40,931       0  
___________
* The seven (7) director nominees who received the greatest number of votes cast for director nominees were elected. Withheld votes were not counted either “for” or “against” the nominee. Abstentions were not counted in the election of directors and did not affect the outcome.  The election of directors is considered a “non-routine” item upon which brokerage firms are not permitted to vote in their discretion on behalf of their clients if such clients did not furnished voting instructions. Therefore, broker “non-votes” were not considered in determining whether a nominee received the affirmative vote of a plurality of the shares.
 
** The affirmative vote of holders of at least the majority of the shares for which votes are cast at the 2013 Annual Meeting is required to approve this proposal.  Abstentions and broker non-votes were not counted as votes cast and, therefore, did not affect this proposal.
