ITEM 5.02 DEPARTURE OF DIRECTORS OR CERTAIN OFFICERS; ELECTION OF DIRECTORS; APPOINTMENT OF CERTAIN OFFICERS; COMPENSATORY ARRANGEMENTS OF CERTAIN OFFICERS
At the Annual Meeting of Stockholders (the “2012 Annual Meeting”) of Pacific Premier Bancorp, Inc. (the “Company”) held on May 30, 2012, the Company’s stockholders, upon recommendation of the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”), approved the Company’s 2012 Long-Term Incentive Plan (the “2012 Incentive Plan”). As a result of the 2012 Incentive Plan being adopted and approved by stockholders at the 2012 Annual Meeting, no further awards will be made under the Company’s existing 2004 Long-Term Incentive Plan (the “2004 Incentive Plan”); however, equity awards that were granted under the 2004 Incentive Plan prior to stockholder approval of the 2012 Incentive Plan will remain outstanding in accordance with their terms. The 2012 Incentive Plan is described in further detail in the Company’s definitive proxy statement for the 2012 Annual Meeting filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on April 16, 2012 (the “Definitive Proxy Statement”), and the full text of the 2012 Incentive Plan, attached as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K, is incorporated herein by reference. The form of Incentive Stock Option Award Agreements, Non-Qualified Stock Option Award Agreements and Restricted Stock Award Agreements to be used in connection with awards made under the 2012 Incentive Plan are attached as Exhibits 10.2, 10.3 and 10.4, respectively, to this Current Report on Form 8-K.
ITEM 5.03 AMENDMENTS TO ARTICLES OF INCORPORATION OR BYLAWS; CHANGE IN FISCAL YEAR.
In connection with the Board’s approval of certain amendments to the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation, as amended (the “Certificate of Incorporation”), the Board also adopted on March 28, 2012 conforming and other amendments to the Company's Bylaws, as amended (the “Bylaws”). These amendments to the Bylaws became effective and were incorporated, together with all prior amendments of the Bylaws, into the Company’s Amended and Restated Bylaws (the “Amended and Restated Bylaws”) immediately upon effectiveness of the amendments to the Certificate of Incorporation that were approved by stockholders at the 2012 Annual Meeting. The Company’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (the “Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation”), which incorporates all of the amendments to the Certificate of Incorporation, became effective on May 31, 2012. Accordingly, the Amended and Restated Bylaws became effective on May 31, 2012.
The Amended and Restated Bylaws incorporates the following amendments: (i) removing the requirement for a classified Board with directors serving three-year terms and replacing it with a provision that provides for the election of all directors at each annual meeting of the Company’s stockholders and for such directors to serve for a term of one year and until his or her successor is duly elected and qualified; (ii) reducing the supermajority vote required by stockholders to amend the Amended and Restated Bylaws to conform to the vote requirement set forth in the Company’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation; (iii) expressly providing for the issuance of uncertificated stock of the Company; (iv) incorporating all amendments to the Bylaws previously adopted by the Board; and (v) making certain additional conforming changes. This description of the Amended and Restated Bylaws does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Amended and Restated Bylaws, attached as Exhibit 3.2 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated by reference into this Item 5.03.

* The two (2) director nominees who received the greatest number of votes cast for director nominees were elected. Withheld votes were not counted either “for” or “against” the nominee. Abstentions were not counted in the election of directors and did not affect the outcome. The election of directors is considered a “non-routine” item upon which brokerage firms are not permitted to vote in their discretion on behalf of their clients if such clients did not furnished voting instructions. Therefore, broker “non-votes” were not considered in determining whether a nominee received the affirmative vote of a plurality of the shares.
**The affirmative vote of holders of at least 80% of the Company’s outstanding shares was required to approve the proposal. Abstentions had the same effect as a vote against the approval of the proposal. The proposal is considered a “non-routine” item upon which brokerage firms could not vote in their discretion on behalf of their clients if such clients did not furnished voting instructions. Therefore, broker “non-votes” had the same effect as a vote against the approval of the proposal.
*** The affirmative vote of holders of at least the majority of our outstanding shares is required to approve the proposal. Abstentions had the same effect as a vote against the approval of the proposal. The proposal is considered a “non-routine” item upon which brokerage firms could not vote in their discretion on behalf of their clients if such clients did not furnished voting instructions. Therefore, broker “non-votes” had the same effect as a vote against the approval of the proposal.
**** The affirmative vote of holders of at least the majority of the shares for which votes are cast at the 2012 Annual Meeting is required to approve the proposal. Abstentions and broker non-votes were not counted as votes cast and, therefore, did not affect the proposal.
***** The frequency that receives the highest number of votes cast at the 2012 Annual Meeting constitutes the non-binding advisory recommendation of the stockholders as to the frequency of future advisory votes on the Named Executive Officer compensation. Abstentions and broker non-votes were not counted as votes cast and, therefore, did not affect the proposal.
Based on the results of the stockholder votes on Proposal 9 above, and as recommended by the Board, the Company has determined that an advisory vote on executive compensation will be submitted to stockholders on an annual basis until the next required advisory vote on the frequency of stockholder votes on executive compensation.
ITEM 8.01 OTHER EVENTS
On March 28, 2012, the Board approved certain amendments to the Certificate of Incorporation, subject to approval by the Company’s stockholders. The Company’s stockholders approved these amendments at the 2012 Annual Meeting. These amendments to the Certificate of Incorporation, which are noted in Item 5.07 above (Proposals 2 through 7) and more fully described in the Definitive Proxy Statement, are reflected, along with all prior amendments to the Certificate of Incorporation, in the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, which became effective May 31, 2012 upon the filing thereof with the Delaware Secretary of State. The full text of the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation is attached as Exhibit 3.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated by reference into this Item 8.01.
As described in the Definitive Proxy Statement, in order to effect the declassification of the Board, directors whose terms are scheduled to expire at the Company’s 2014 and 2015 Annual Meetings of Stockholders will resign from the Board, and the remaining directors will reappoint each of the resigning directors for one-year terms of office which expire at the 2013 Annual Meeting of Stockholders. The Company anticipates that these directors will resign effective immediately prior to the Board’s June 2012 meeting and be reappointed at that meeting effectively immediately by the remaining directors to serve for one-year terms of office which expire at the 2013 Annual Meeting of Stockholders.
