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 certain amendments to the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation, as amended, to declassify the Board so that directors are to be elected annually to serve for one year terms and until their successors are duly elected and qualified, or until their earlier death, resignation or removal.   These amendments are 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 (the “Commission”) on April 16, 2012 (the “Definitive Proxy Statement”).  The Company’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, which reflects these amendments and which became effective May 31, 2012 upon the filing thereof with the Delaware Secretary of State, is attached as Exhibit 3.1 to the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Commission on June 4, 2012.
 
 
As described in the Definitive Proxy Statement, in order to effect the declassification of the Board, directors whose terms were scheduled to expire at the Company’s 2014 and 2015 Annual Meetings of Stockholders resigned from the Board effective immediately prior to the Board’s July 26, 2012 meeting and were reappointed by the remaining directors at that meeting effective immediately to serve for one-year terms of office which expire at the 2013 Annual Meeting of Stockholders.  As a result, Kenneth A. Boudreau and Michael L. McKennon, whose terms were scheduled to expire at the Company’s 2014 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, and John D. Goddard and Joseph L. Garrett, whose terms were scheduled to expire at the Company’s 2015 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, are now serving one-year terms of office, which expire at the 2013 Annual Meeting of Stockholders and until their successors are duly elected and qualified, or until their earlier death, resignation or removal.  Each of Messrs. Boudreau, McKennon, Goddard and Garrett will continue to serve on the same committees of the Board as they did immediately prior to their resignation.  Additional information about Messrs. Boudreau, McKennon, Goddard and Garrett and their Board committees is included in the Definitive Proxy Statement.  These actions do not impact or affect Steven R. Gardner or Jeff C. Jones, whose terms already provided for an expiration at the 2013 Annual Meeting of Stockholders.
 
 
As disclosed is the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Commission on July 16, 2012, Ronald G. Skipper, Chairman of the Board whose term was scheduled to expire at the 2014 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, retired from the Board effective as of July 26, 2012.  The vacancy on the Board resulting from Mr. Skipper’s retirement has not been filled.
