Banc of California, Inc. (NYSE: BANC) (the “Company”), the holding company for Banc of California, N.A. (the “Bank”), today announced that the Kroll Bond Rating Agency (KBRA), a Nationally Recognized Statistical Rating Organization registered with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, has affirmed the Company and Bank’s credit ratings and stable outlook.

The Bank’s favorable ratings and stable outlook were maintained with the senior unsecured debt and deposit ratings of BBB+, the subordinated debt rating of BBB, and the short-term debt and deposit ratings of K2. Additionally, KBRA affirmed the senior unsecured debt rating of BBB, the subordinated debt rating of BBB-, and the short-term debt rating of K3 for the Company. The outlook for all long-term ratings is Stable. According to KBRA’s report, “BANC’s liquidity position [is] comfortable, with sufficient uninsured deposit coverage through primary and secondary liquidity sources, as well as a low unrealized loss position in its AFS securities portfolio. The company’s deposit mix is well diversified by industry type, with limited exposure to higher risk sectors.

“Additionally, the ratings are further supported by the company’s overall scale in attractive markets, as well as a strong capital position, evidenced by a CET1 ratio that has generally tracked above 11% since 2020, which is an integral aspect of the company’s credit profile.”

Note Regarding Ratings

A rating is not investment or financial advice and is not a recommendation to buy, sell or hold securities. Ratings may be subject to revision or withdrawal at any time by the assigning rating organization. Each rating organization has its own methodology for assigning ratings and, accordingly, each rating should be evaluated independently of any other rating. The foregoing description of the rating is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of KBRA’s press release, disclosures and additional information on rating categories which can be found on their website at www.kbra.com.
