Item 2. Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.
On September 10, 2002, First Community Bancorp completed its acquisition of First National Bank, a $650 million-asset bank with seven branches located in San Diego County. With the completion of this acquisition, First National Bank merged into Rancho Santa Fe National Bank, a wholly-owned subsidiary of First Community. The surviving bank, which will operate under the name First National Bank, now has 14 branches in the San Diego region, combined assets of over $1.1 billion and total deposits of over $875 million. First Community is also the parent of Pacific Western National Bank, which has 19 branches in Los Angeles, Orange, Riverside and San Bernardino Counties.
First Community issued approximately 2,762,662 shares of its common stock, representing approximately 18% of the then outstanding shares of First Community common stock, and $74.21 million in cash in exchange for all of the outstanding preferred shares, common shares, warrants and options of First National. The aggregate purchase price of First National amounts to approximately $155.32 million based on the closing price of First Community's stock on September 10, 2002 of $29.36. First National shareholders elected to receive stock consideration in excess of the maximum number of shares of First Community common stock allowed to be issued in the transaction. Accordingly, shareholders of First National electing stock consideration in the merger will receive approximately 46% of their stock election in cash based on the terms of the definitive agreement and the number of shares of First National stock for which stock elections were made.
First Community financed the acquisition of First National in part with the proceeds from its recent registered public offering. On July 17, 2002, First Community raised $83.3 million, before expenses and underwriting discounts, through the sale of its common stock in the public offering. On July 24, 2002, First Community raised an additional $12.5 million, before expenses and underwriting discounts, in connection with the exercise in full of the over-allotment option by the underwriters of the offering.
