Changes in Registrant's Certifying Accountant, Change in Directors or
On December 10, 2012, First PacTrust Bancorp, Inc. (the "Company") engaged KPMG LLP, and dismissed Crowe Horwath LLP, as the principal accountant to audit the Company's consolidated financial statements. The decision to change accountants was approved by the Audit Committee of the Company's Board of Directors.
The reports of Crowe Horwath LLP on the consolidated financial statements of the
Company as of and for the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010 did not contain
an adverse opinion or a disclaimer of opinion and were not qualified or modified
as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles. During the years ended
December 31, 2011 and 2010 and from January 1, 2012 through December 10, 2012:
(i) there were no disagreements with Crowe Horwath LLP on any matter of
accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure or auditing
scope or procedure, which disagreements, if not resolved to the satisfaction of
Crowe Horwath LLP, would have caused Crowe Horwath LLP to make reference to the
subject matter of the disagreements in connection with its reports; and (ii)
there were no "reportable events," as that term is defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v)
of Regulation S-K of the Securities and Exchange Commission.
The Company requested that Crowe Horwath LLP furnish the Company with a letter addressed to the Securities and Exchange Commission stating whether Crowe Horwath LLP agrees with the statements made in this Form 8-K and, if not, stating the respects in which it does not agree. After the Company receives this letter, it will be filed as an exhibit to an amendment to this Current Report on Form 8-K.
Lonny D. Robinson, Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer of Pacific Trust Bank, the wholly-owned banking subsidiary of First PacTrust Bancorp, Inc. (the "Company"), was appointed to serve as the Company's Principal Accounting Officer, effective as of December 11, 2012, replacing Regan Lauer in that role. Ms. Lauer will continue to serve as Senior Vice President and Controller.
