Pan Pacific Bank (fka PPFC)

[SSTChicago]

I'd like to thank any Pan Pacific Bank shareholders for their continued support and confidence. I know the Board and Management of PPFC are pleased with the transaction announced earlier today. The hard work of CEO Wayne Doiguchi and the entire team at Pan Pacific, our diverse and capable Board of Directors, and the support of our loyal shareholders, combined to deliver exceptional returns over the past three years. I strongly believe California Bank of Commerce will be an incredibly successful force in the California banking business in the years ahead. It'll be a privilege to be associated with them as an exciting evolution in financial services occurs in the years ahead.
