Explanation of Responses:

1. On December 15, 2014, PSB declared a special dividend, payable on December 30, 2014. As a result, pursuant to anti dilution provisions of PSB's 2003 Stock Option and Incentive Plan, an option for 2,000 shares of common stock held by the reporting person on December 30, 2014 became exercisable for an additional 69 shares of common stock.

2. By a custodian of an IRA for benefit of the reporting person.

3. Stock Option granted pursuant to the 2003 Stock Option and Incentive Plan. The Option vested in five (5) equal annual installments beginning one (1) year from date of grant.

4. This option was previously reported as an option for 2,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $60.82, but was adjusted to reflect the special dividend declared by PSB on December 15, 2014.
