Item 2. Acquisition or Disposition of Assets
Effective November 20, 1996, South Valley Bancorporation ("South
Valley") was merged with and into Pacific Capital Bancorp ("Company") pursuant
to the Agreement and Plan of Reorganization ("Agreement") dated July 18, 1996.
In connection with the Agreement, the Company agreed to issue 1,210,185 shares
of its common stock to South Valley shareholders. The number of shares to be
issued was determined by multiplying the number of South Valley shares
outstanding on November 20, 1996 (1,315,419) by the exchange ratio of 0.92 as
provided for in the Agreement. In addition to the shares issued to South Valley
shareholders, the Company also issued 81,000 shares of its common stock as
consideration for the outstanding options to purchase shares of South Valley
common stock held by certain officers and directors of South Valley. As a result
of the merger, South Valley's principal subsidiary, South Valley National Bank,
became a subsidiary of the Company.
