Item 5.02 Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.
In a Current Report on Form8-K filed on December 27, 2016, Banc of California, Inc. (the “Company”) reported that Halle J. Benett informed the Company and Banc of California, N.A., a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (the “Bank”), of his decision not to stand forre-election as a director of the Company at the 2017 Annual Meeting of Stockholders of the Company or as a director of the Bank at the 2017 annual meeting of the sole stockholder of the Bank. On February 1, 2017, Mr. Benett advised the Company and the Bank that he has reconsidered this decision, and wishes to stand forre-election.
