Forward-Looking Statements
This
press
release
contains
certain
forward-looking
information
about
CU
Bancorp
(the
“Company”),
1
st
Enterprise
Bank
and
the
combined
company
after
the
close
of
the
transaction
that
is
intended
to
be
covered
by
the
safe
harbor for “forward looking statements”
provided by the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. All statements other than statements of historical fact are forward-looking statements. Such statements involve inherent
risks and uncertainties, many of which are difficult to predict and are generally beyond the control of the Company. Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made and we assume no duty to update such
statements.  We caution readers that a number of important factors could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed in, implied or projected by, such forward-looking statements. Risks and uncertainties
include,
but
are
not
limited
to:
lower
than
expected
revenues;
credit
quality
deterioration
or
a
reduction
in
real
estate
values
could
cause
an
increase
in
the
allowance
for
credit
losses
and
a
reduction
in
net
earnings;
increased
competitive pressure among depository institutions; the Company’s ability to complete future acquisitions, successfully integrate such acquired entities, or achieve expected beneficial synergies and/or operating efficiencies
within expected time-frames or at all; the possibility that personnel changes will not proceed as planned; the cost of additional capital is more than expected; a change in the interest rate environment reduces net interest
margins; asset/liability repricing risks and liquidity risks; legal matters could be filed against the Company and could take longer or cost more than expected to resolve or may be resolved adversely to the Company; general
economic
conditions,
either
nationally
or
in
the
market
areas
in
which
the
Company
does
or
anticipates
doing
business,
are
less
favorable
than
expected;
environmental
conditions,
including
natural
disasters
and
drought,
may
disrupt our business, impede our operations, negatively impact the values of collateral securing the Company’s loans and leases or impair the ability of our borrowers to support their debt obligations; the economic and
regulatory
effects
of
the
continuing
war
on
terrorism
and
other
events
of
war,
including
the
conflicts
in
the
Middle
East;
legislative
or
regulatory
requirements
or
changes
adversely
affecting
the
Company’s
business;
changes
in
the securities markets; regulatory approvals for any capital activities cannot be obtained on the terms expected or on the anticipated schedule; and, other risks that are described in CU Bancorp’s public filings with the U.S.
Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”).  Additional risks and uncertainties relating to the proposed transaction with 1st Enterprise Bank include, but are not limited to: the ability to complete the proposed transaction,
including obtaining regulatory approvals and approvals by the shareholders of CU Bancorp and 1st Enterprise Bank; the length of time necessary to consummate the proposed transaction; the ability to successfully integrate the
two
institutions
and
achieve
expected
synergies
and
operating
efficiencies
on
the
expected
timeframe;
unexpected
costs
relating
to
the
proposed
transaction;
and
the
potential
impact
on
the
institutions’
respective
businesses
as
a result
of
uncertainty
surrounding
the
proposed
transaction.
If
any
of
these
risks
or
uncertainties
materializes
or
if
any
of
the
assumptions
underlying
such
forward-looking
statements
proves
to
be
incorrect,
CU
Bancorp’s
results
could
differ
materially
from
those
expressed
in,
implied
or
projected
by
such
forward-looking
statements.
CU

assumes
no
obligation
to
update
such
forward-looking
statements.

Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Measures
The Company utilizes the term Core Net Income, a non-GAAP financial measure.  CU Bancorp’s management believes Core Net Income is useful because it is a measure utilized by management and market
analysts to understand the effects of merger expenses and provides an alternative view of the Company’s performance over time and in comparison to the Company’s competitors.  Core net income should
not be viewed as a substitute for net income.  A reconciliation of CU Bancorp’s Net Income to Core Net Income, as well as related ratios is presented in the tables below for the periods indicated:

CUNB & FENB Merger Overview

Transaction Rationale
Combination
to
create
a
$2.2
billion
“pure
play”
business
bank
in
Southern
California
Both companies have a track record of strong organic growth
Scarcity value for a business banking franchise in Southern California
Southern California offers an unparalleled opportunity for middle market business banks
Cultural similarities
Focused on small to mid-sized businesses as target clients
High quality deposit base (> 50% noninterest bearing deposits and 0.11% cost of deposits)
Conservative credit cultures and similar loan portfolio mix (> 50% combined C&I and OO CRE)
Performance driven business development philosophy
Management team comprised of veteran Southern California business bankers
Complementary strengths provide opportunities for revenue synergies
Partnership approach to create the “best-in-class”
group of banking professionals for the pro forma
company
Pro forma branch network covers the greater Los Angeles market
Leverages capital and increases liquidity
Draws on CUNB’s strong track record of transaction execution
Financially compelling projected pro forma results
Strategic
Partnership
Enhances
Value of Both
Franchises
