Item 3.
Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration.

On November 30, 2023, pursuant to that certain Investment Agreement, dated as of July 25, 2023 (the “Investment Agreement”), by and among the Issuer and the Purchasers, substantially concurrently with the closing of the transactions contemplated by that certain Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of July 25, 2023 (the “Merger Agreement”), by and among the Issuer, PacWest Bancorp, a Delaware corporation (“PacWest”), and Cal Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation, (a) WPGG14 Purchaser invested an aggregate of $243,750,000 (net of certain expenses reimbursed by the Issuer) in the Issuer in exchange for the sale and issuance, at a purchase price of $12.30 per share, of (i) 11,694,581 shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of the Issuer (the “Common Stock”) and (ii) 8,122,492 shares of a new class of non-voting, common equivalent stock, par value $0.01 per share, of the Issuer (the “NVCE Stock”), (b) WPFSII Purchaser invested an aggregate of $81,250,000 (net of certain expenses reimbursed by the Issuer) in the Issuer in exchange for the sale and issuance, at a purchase price of $12.30 per share, of (i) 3,898,193 shares of Common Stock and (ii) 2,707,498 shares of NVCE Stock, and (c) the Issuer issued to the Purchasers warrants to purchase 15,853,658 shares of NVCE Stock, with such warrants having an exercise price of $15.375 (a 25% premium to the price paid on the Common Stock and the NVCE Stock) per share (the “Warrants” and, together with clauses (a) and (b), the “Investments”). As more fully described in Item 4 below, because the NVCE Stock (including shares of NVCE Stock for which the Warrants may be exercised) received by the Purchasers are not convertible into Common Stock within sixty days and are subject to the receipt of regulatory approvals, they have been excluded from the Warburg Pincus Reporting Persons’ beneficial ownership reported herein.

To enable the Purchasers to fund payment of the aggregate purchase price under the Investment Agreement, the Purchasers obtained equity commitments from the WP Global Growth 14 Funds and the WP Financial Sector II Funds, pursuant to which the WP Global Growth 14 Funds and the WP Financial Sector II Funds committed to make an aggregate cash contribution to WPGG14 Purchaser and WPFSII Purchaser, respectively, in exchange for equity securities of the applicable Purchaser, for the purpose of funding the aggregate purchase price under the Investment Agreement and related costs, fees and expenses. The WP Global Growth 14 Funds and the WP Financial Sector II Funds funded their cash commitments under the Investment Agreement with capital contributions, including from their respective limited partners, together with available line of credit.
 
Immediately following the closing of the transactions contemplated by the Investment Agreement (the “Closing”), WPGG14 Purchaser and WPFSII Purchaser transferred 1,524,390 shares and 508,130 shares of NVCE Stock, respectively, to the Specified Transferee (as defined in the Investment Agreement) pursuant to a private sale in exchange for aggregate consideration of $25 million (the “Private Sale”).  After the 180 day anniversary of the Closing, the Purchasers will transfer a pro rata portion of the Warrants to the Specified Transferee, subject to the conditions set forth in the Investment Agreement.
 
Immediately following the Closing and the closing of the Private Sale, the Purchasers owned approximately 9.9% of the outstanding Common Stock of the Issuer.
 
Item 4.
Purpose of Transaction.
 
The information set forth in Items 3 and 6 of this Statement is hereby incorporated by reference into this Item 4.
 
The Warburg Pincus Reporting Persons beneficially own the Common Stock for investment purposes.  The proceeds received by the Issuer from the Investments were used to fund a portion of the cash consideration delivered by the Issuer in connection with acquisition of PacWest pursuant to the Merger Agreement (the “Merger”).
 
Investment Agreement
 
The following is a description of certain additional material terms of the Investment Agreement and the Investments.
 
Transfer Restrictions. Subject to certain exceptions, the Purchasers are prohibited from transferring the Investments for 90 days following the Closing (the “Lock-Up Period”). Following the Lock-Up Period, until the 180-day anniversary of the Closing, subject to certain exceptions, the Purchasers are prohibited from transferring 25% of the Investments. The Purchasers are subject to certain additional transfer restrictions following the expiration of such 180-day period.
 
Indemnification.  Pursuant to the Investment Agreement, the Issuer and the Purchasers agree to indemnify the other and their affiliates from and against all losses (subject to certain exceptions) directly resulting from (a) any inaccuracy in or breach of any representation or warranty of such party set forth in the Investment Agreement or (b) such party’s breach of any of its agreements or covenants in the Investment Agreement, in each case, subject to certain limitations.
 
 Board Representation.  Pursuant to the Investment Agreement, after the Closing, the Purchasers will be entitled to nominate one representative to be appointed to the board of directors (the “Board”) of the Issuer, subject to certain eligibility requirements, so long as the Purchasers and their affiliates beneficially own the lesser of (a) 5% of the-outstanding shares of Common Stock (on an as-converted basis) and (b) 50% of the Common Stock (on an as-converted basis) that the Purchasers beneficially own immediately following the Closing (such time, the “Director Rights Period”).  Effective as of the Closing, the Issuer appointed, at the Purchasers’ request, Todd Schell (a Principal in WP LLC’s Financial Services group) to the Board as the Purchasers’ representative.  During the Director Rights Period, the Purchasers and their affiliates will be subject to standstill obligations with respect to the Issuer.
 
Charter Amendment; Limitations on Conversion to Common Stock.  On November 28, 2023, the Issuer filed Articles of Amendment (the “Articles of Amendment”) with the Maryland State Department of Assessment and Taxation to amend Section F of Article 6 of the Second Articles of Restatement of the Issuer (the “Charter”) in a manner to exempt the Purchasers and their affiliates from the application of Section F of Article 6 (other than paragraph 4 thereof) of the Charter, which prohibits any stockholder who beneficially owns more than 10% of the Issuer’s Common Stock from voting such shares.
 
Subject to the receipt of prior regulatory approval as described below, following the 90th day after the Closing and upon the written request of the Purchasers (or certain permitted transferees), the Purchasers (or such transferees) may request that the Issuer use its reasonable best efforts to permit the Purchasers (or such transferees) to exchange all or a portion of such person’s shares of NVCE Stock (including shares of NVCE Stock for which the Warrants may be exercised) for shares of Common Stock or non-voting common stock of the Issuer, subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions specified in the Investment Agreement, including the receipt of any required regulatory approvals. If the Purchasers would acquire, or be deemed by the Federal Reserve or any other applicable banking regulator to be acquiring directly or as part of a group acting in concert, 10% or more of the outstanding Common Stock as a result of such exchange, then the Purchasers must seek any additional approvals, consents or non-objections of the Federal Reserve or any other governmental entity required in connection with the acquisition or control of 10% or more of a class of voting securities of the Issuer. The Purchasers’ ability to exchange of all or a portion of the NVCE Stock (including shares of NVCE Stock for which the Warrants may be exercised) for shares of Common Stock is also subject to the Purchasers not owning more than 24.9% of voting securities of the Issuer as calculated under applicable regulations of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System.
 
21
CUSIP No. 05990K106
Certain Other Terms and Conditions of the Investment Agreement.  The Investment Agreement contains customary representations, warranties and agreements of each party. The Closing was conditioned on, among other things, the substantially concurrent closing of the Merger and the Purchasers receiving oral confirmation from the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System or Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco that the Investments would not result in the Purchasers being deemed to have “control” of the Issuer for purposes of the BHC Act or CIBC Act (each as defined in the Investment Agreements).
 
Articles Supplementary
 
On November 28, 2023, the Issuer filed Articles Supplementary (the “Articles Supplementary”) with the Maryland State Department of Assessment and Taxation to create, out of the Issuer’s authorized but unissued preferred stock, the NVCE Stock. Subject to any applicable transfer restrictions in the Investment Agreement, each share of NVCE Stock will automatically convert into one share of Common Stock, subject to certain adjustments, when transferred (a) to the Issuer, (b) in a widespread public distribution, (c) in a transfer in which no transferee (or group of associated transferees) would receive 2% or more of the outstanding securities of any class of voting securities of the Issuer or (d) to a purchaser that would control more than fifty percent (50%) of every class of voting securities of the Issuer without any transfer from such holder of the NVCE Stock.  Each share of NVCE Stock is entitled to receive, when, as and if declared by the Board, all cash dividends or distributions made in respect of the shares of the Common Stock, at the same time and on the same terms as holders of Common Stock, subject to certain adjustments.  Subject to certain customary exceptions, the NVCE Stock does not have any voting rights and ranks pari passu with the Common Stock. The Issuer does not have redemption rights with respect to the NVCE Stock.
 
Warrants
 
At the Closing, the Issuer issued the Warrants to the Purchasers at an exercise price of $15.375 per share, subject to customary anti-dilution adjustments provided under the Warrants. Prior to the seven-year anniversary of the Closing, the Warrants (a) may be exercised by the warrantholder or (b) shall automatically be exercised if the market price of the Common Stock reaches or exceeds $24.60 (a 100% premium to the price paid by the Purchasers for the Common Stock and the NVCE Stock) for twenty or more trading days during any thirty-consecutive trading day period.  The Warrants may be settled on a “net share” basis by applying shares of NVCE Stock otherwise issuable under the Warrants in satisfaction of the exercise price.
 
Registration Rights Agreement
 
At the Closing, the Purchasers entered into a registration rights agreement (the “Registration Rights Agreement”) with the Issuer, pursuant to which the Issuer will provide customary registration rights to the Purchasers and their affiliates and certain permitted transferees with respect to the Common Stock purchased under the Investment Agreement, and shares of Common Stock issued upon the conversion of shares of the NVCE Stock purchased under the Investment Agreement or issued upon the exercise of the Warrants. Under the Registration Rights Agreement, the Purchasers will, following the Lock-Up Period, be entitled to S-3 shelf registration rights (or S-1 demand registration rights, if applicable), rights to request a certain number of underwritten shelf takedowns, as well as piggyback registration rights, in each case, subject to certain limitations as set forth in the Registration Rights Agreement.

Any actions the Warburg Pincus Reporting Persons might undertake may be made at any time and from time to time without prior notice and will be dependent upon the Warburg Pincus Reporting Persons’ review of numerous factors, including, but not limited to: an ongoing evaluation of the Issuer’s business, financial condition, operations and prospects; price levels of the Issuer’s securities; general market, industry and economic conditions; the relative attractiveness of alternative business and investment opportunities; and other future developments.
