UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED
FINANCIAL INFORMATION

The following is the unaudited pro forma combined condensed consolidated financial information for BayCom Corp (“BayCom”) and Pacific Enterprise Bancorp (“PEB”), giving effect to the merger of PEB with and into BayCom. The unaudited pro forma combined condensed consolidated statement of financial condition as of September 30, 2021 gives effect to the merger as if it occurred on that date. The unaudited pro forma combined condensed consolidated statements of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and the year ended December 31, 2020 give effect to the merger as if it occurred on January 1, 2020. The actual completion date of the merger was February 1, 2022.

The unaudited pro forma combined condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared using the acquisition method of accounting for business combinations under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). BayCom is the acquirer for accounting purposes. Certain immaterial reclassifications have been made to the historical financial statements of PEB to conform to the presentation in BayCom’s financial statements. The historical consolidated financial information has been adjusted to reflect factually supportable items that are directly attributable to the merger.

The value of the total merger consideration at closing was $64.4 million. The total number of BayCom common stock shares issued in the merger was 3,032,600 and the equity consideration paid by BayCom was approximately $64.1 million as well as cash consideration of approximately $274,000 for stock options and fractional shares.

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information is based on assumptions and adjustments that are described in the accompanying notes. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information is presented for illustrative purposes only. The adjustments included in these unaudited pro forma combined financial statements are preliminary and may be revised. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information also does not consider any potential impacts of current market conditions on revenues, potential revenue enhancements, anticipated cost savings and expense efficiencies, or asset dispositions, among other factors. In addition, the purchase price reflected in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information is subject to adjustment. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet has also been adjusted to reflect the preliminary allocation of the estimated purchase price to net assets acquired. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information should not be relied upon as being indicative of the historical results that would have been achieved had the companies always been combined or the future results that the combined company will experience.

The final allocation of the purchase price will be determined after completion of thorough analyses to determine the fair value of PEB’s tangible and identifiable intangible assets and liabilities as of the February 1, 2022 acquisition date. Increases or decreases in the estimated fair values of the net assets of PEB as compared with the information shown in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information may change the amount of the purchase price allocated to goodwill and may impact the statement of income due to adjustments in yield and/or amortization of the adjusted assets or liabilities. Any changes to PEB’s shareholder’s equity including results of operations through the date the merger is completed will also change the purchase price allocation, which may include the recording of goodwill. The final adjustments may be materially different from the unaudited pro forma adjustments presented herein.

Notes to Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Information

Note 1 – Basis of Presentation

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information and explanatory notes have been prepared using the acquisition method of accounting giving effect to the merger involving BayCom and PEB, with BayCom treated as the acquirer for accounting purposes. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information is presented for illustrative purposes only and is not necessarily indicative of the financial position had the merger been consummated at September 30, 2021 or the results of operations had the merger been consummated at January 1, 2020, nor is it necessarily indicative of the results of operation in future periods or the future financial position of the combined entities. The pro forma adjustments are provisional, based on estimates, and are subject to change as more information becomes available and after final analysis of the fair values of both tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed are completed. Accordingly, the final fair value adjustments may be materially different from those presented in this document. The merger was completed on February 1, 2022. The consideration included the issuance of approximately $64.1 million in equity consideration as well as cash consideration of approximately $274,000 for stock options.

Under the acquisition method of accounting, the assets and liabilities and any identifiable intangible assets of PEB will be recorded at the respective fair values on the merger date. The fair values on the merger date are to represent management’s best estimates based on available information and facts and circumstances in existence on the merger date. The preliminary estimates include in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information is subject to adjustment and may vary from the recorded amounts when the merger is completed. Adjustments may include, but not be limited to, changes in (i) PEB’s balance sheet through the effective time of the merger; (ii) total merger related expenses if consummation and/or implementation costs vary from currently estimated amounts; (iii) the underlying values of assets and liabilities if market conditions differ from current assumptions; and (iv) the fair value of BayCom common stock.

Certain historical data of PEB has been reclassified on a pro forma basis to conform to BayCom’s classifications.

The accounting policies of both BayCom and PEB are in the process of being reviewed in detail. Upon completion of such review, conforming adjustments or financial statement reclassifications may be determined.

Note 2 – Consideration Paid

Each share of PEB common stock has been converted into the right to receive 1.0292 shares of BayCom common stock. BayCom did not issue any fractional shares of stock in the merger as the value of calculated fractional shares has been paid in cash.

In total, BayCom issued approximately 3,032,600 shares of common stock in the merger, resulting in 13,713,000 shares of common stock outstanding after the merger. BayCom’s February 1, 2022 closing common stock price of $21.15 per share was used for this presentation as the stock price. The total consideration transferred approximates $64.4 million.

The table below presents a preliminary calculation of estimated merger consideration:

(In thousands, except for share and per share data)

and
Share consideration:	Amount
Shares of PEB common stock		2,946,592
Exchange ratio		1.0292
BayCom common stock to be issued		3,032,600
BayCom’s closing share price as of February 1, 2022	$	21.15

Preliminary fair value of consideration for outstanding common stock	$	64,140
Cash payments for stock options and fractional shares		274
Preliminary fair value of estimated total consideration	$	64,414

Note 3 – Consideration Paid Allocation of PEB

At the merger effective time, PEB’s assets and liabilities are required to be recorded at to their estimated fair values. The assumptions used to determine the relevant fair value adjustments below are discussed in detail in Note 4 – Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Information Adjustments. The excess of the fair value of the net assets acquired over the purchase price over the fair value of the net assets acquired is recorded as a bargain purchase gain.

The preliminarily estimates of the consideration transferred to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed are summarized in the following table:

Note 4 – Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Information Adjustments.

The following pro forma adjustments have been included in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information. Estimated fair value adjustments are based upon available information, and certain assumptions considered reasonable, and may be revised as additional information becomes available.

Note 5 – Merger Costs

In connection with the merger, BayCom anticipates integrating PEB’s operations effective February 25, 2022. The estimated costs associated with the integration will be expensed in the first quarter of 2022. BayCom has recorded integration related expenses totaling $3.3 million as of February 1, 2022. PEB recorded acquisition related expenses totaling $4.3 million prior to the closing of the merger.

The table below reflects BayCom’s current estimate of the aggregate estimated merger costs of $7.6 million, or $5.7 million net of $1.9 million of income tax benefit, computed using the statutory federal tax rate of 21.0% and blended state tax rate of 11.0%, expected to be incurred in connection with the merger, which are included in the pro forma financial information. While a portion of these costs may be required to be recognized over time, the current estimate of these costs, primarily comprised of anticipated cash charges, include the following:


	At September 30,
	2021
		(In thousands)
Professional fees	$	1,579
Change of control payments		1,724
Vesting of restricted stock grants		1,390
Severance and retention plan		900
Data processing, termination, and conversion		1,643
Other expenses		345
Pre-tax merger costs		7,581
Income tax benefit at 25.3% rate		(1,920	)
Net merger costs	$	5,661

BayCom’s cost estimates are forward-looking. While the costs represent BayCom’s current estimate of merger costs associated with the merger that will be incurred, the ultimate level and timing of recognition of these costs will be based on the final integration in connection with consummation of the merger. Readers are cautioned that the completion of this integration and other actions that may be taken in connection with the merger will impact these estimates. The type and amount of actual costs incurred could vary materially from these estimates if future developments differ from the underlying assumptions used by management in determining the current estimate of these costs. These costs are not expected to materially impact the combined company’s ability to maintain an adequate level of liquidity necessary to fund loan originations and deposit withdrawals, satisfy other financial commitments and fund operations.
