Item 5.02 Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers

On April 28, 2014, Pacific Continental Corporation (the “Company” or “PCBK”) and its subsidiary Pacific Continental Bank (the “Bank”), extended the term under the Employment Agreements dated November 9, 2007 with Hal Brown, Chief Executive Officer and Roger Busse, President and Chief Operating Officer, respectively, by one year to April 30, 2017. The term extensions occurred according to the annual renewal procedures set forth in the agreements, which provide that each year the executives may propose a one-year term extension to the Board of Directors of the Company and the Bank in order to re-set to the original three-year term. The Board then determines whether to accept the extension proposal. The term extensions do not increase potential severance benefits payable under the agreements. Other than Messrs. Brown and Busse, no executive has an employment agreement with the Company or the Bank.
