Item 1.01   Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement

On March 21, 2012 Mission Community Bancorp (the “Company”) issued warrants to purchase an aggregate of 6,487,800 shares of its common stock (the "New Warrants") to three investment funds: Carpenter Community BancFund, L.P., Carpenter Community BancFund-A, L.P. and Carpenter Community BancFund-CA, L.P. (collectively, the "Funds") in exchange for the cancellation of warrants to purchase an aggregate of 6,387,973 shares of the Company's common stock held by the Funds (the "Old Warrants").  The Funds, which have the same general partner, Carpenter Fund Manager, GP, LLC, collectively own approximately 76.4% of the issued and outstanding shares of the common stock of the Company (not including shares receivable upon exercise of the warrants).

The New Warrants have an exercise price of $5.00 per share and are exercisable for a period of five years from issuance.

The Old Warrants were issued in private placement transactions in 2010 and 2011.  The Old Warrants had issuance dates, expiration dates and exercise prices as follows:

Number of Warrant Shares
Issuance Date
Exercise Price
Expiration Date
2,000,000
4/27/10
$5.00 per share
4/27/15
3,000,000
6/15/10
$5.00 per share
6/15/15
1,387,973
10/21/11
$4.54 per share
10/21/21
 
The New Warrants are otherwise identical to the Old Warrants except that the New Warrants eliminate certain anti-dilution features which previously required that the Old Warrants be accounted for as liabilities, rather than as equity, and thus measured at fair value.

In determining the number of New Warrants to issue in exchange for the Old Warrants, the Company valued the Old Warrants at $6.54 million using a Black-Scholes valuation model and determined that the issuance of 6,487,800 New Warrants at an exercise price of $5.00 per share and term of five years would also be valued at $6.54 million using the same Black-Scholes valuation model.

Item 3.02.  Unregistered Sale of Equity Securities.

On March 21, 2012 the Company issued warrants to purchase an aggregate of 6,487,800 shares of common stock as described in Item 1.01 above.  The New Warrants were issued in exchange for the Old Warrants as described in Item 1.01 above and the Company received no consideration with respect to the issuance of the New Warrants other than the cancellation of the Old Warrants.   There are no underwriting discounts or commissions to be paid by the Company with respect to the issuance of the New Warrants.  The issuance has been made pursuant to an exemption from registration set forth in Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, as a privately negotiated transaction not involving a public offering.
