We are investigating possible breaches of fiduciary duty and other violations of law by the board of directors of Banc of California, Inc. (“Banc of California”) (NYSE: BANC) in connection with its proposed merger with PacWest Bancorp (NASDAQ:PACW).

Weiss Law is investigating whether (i) Banc of California’s board acted in the best interests of its shareholders in agreeing to the merger, (ii) the merger consideration is fair to Banc of California’s shareholders, and (iii) all information regarding the sales process and valuation of the transaction will be fully and fairly disclosed.
