Prospectus excerpt: First PacTrust Bancorp, Inc., or First PacTrust, is offering 1,400,000 depositary shares each representing a 1/40th ownership interest in a share of 8.00% Non-Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock, Series C, $0.01 par value, with a liquidation preference of $1,000 per share (equivalent to $25.00 per depositary share), referred to herein as the Preferred Stock. As a holder of depositary shares, you will be entitled to all proportional rights and preferences of the Preferred Stock (including dividend, voting, redemption and liquidation rights). You must exercise such rights through the depositary.
For a discussion of certain risks that you should consider in connection with an investment in the depositary shares, see ÙRisk Factorsˆ in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012, as amended, and all subsequent filings under Section 13(a), 13(c), 14 or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, referred to herein as the Exchange Act, as well as the additional risk factors contained in this prospectus supplement beginning on page S-10 and the accompanying prospectus.
We will pay dividends on the Preferred Stock, when, as and if declared by our board of directors or a duly authorized committee of our board of directors. If declared, dividends will accrue and be payable on the liquidation preference amount, on a non-cumulative basis, from the date of issuance at a rate of 8.00% per annum, payable quarterly, in arrears, on March 15, June 15, September 15 and December 15 of each year, beginning on September 15, 2013. Upon payment of any dividends on the Preferred Stock, holders of depositary shares will receive a proportionate payment.
Dividends on the Preferred Stock will not be cumulative. If our board of directors or a duly authorized committee of our board of directors does not declare a dividend on the Preferred Stock in respect of a dividend period, then no dividend shall be deemed to have accrued for such dividend period, be payable on the applicable dividend payment date or be cumulative, and we will have no obligation to pay any dividend for that dividend period, whether or not our board of directors or a duly authorized committee of our board of directors declares a dividend on the Preferred Stock for any future dividend period.
We may redeem the Preferred Stock at our option, (1) in whole or in part, from time to time, on any dividend payment date on or after September 15, 2018 at a redemption price equal to $1,000 per share (equivalent to $25.00 per depositary share), plus any declared and unpaid dividends, or (2) in whole but not in part, at any time within 90 days following a regulatory capital treatment event (as described herein), at a redemption price equal to $1,000 per share (equivalent to $25.00 per depositary share), plus any declared and unpaid dividends and any accrued and unpaid dividends (whether or not declared) for the then-current dividend period to but excluding the redemption date. If we redeem the Preferred Stock, the depositary will redeem a proportionate number of depositary shares.
