POTENTIAL CHANGES IN CONTROL
Pursuant to a commitment letter entered into as of July 30, 1997, by
and between John B. Joseph, in his individual capacity and on behalf of certain
entities under his control (the "Sellers"), and Eric D. Hovde, as amended, Eric
D. Hovde has agreed to purchase 893,090 shares of the Company's common stock
beneficially owned by the Sellers as well as any after-acquired shares. Subject
to the provisions of the commitment letter, which provisions include the receipt
of any required regulatory approvals, the purchase was to occur on a business
day not later than December 31, 1998. Mr. Hovde has loaned approximately
$678,000 to the Sellers. The loans are secured by 893,090 shares of the
Company's common stock beneficially owned by the Sellers. The loans became due
on December 31, 1998. The sale has not yet occurred due to a pending approval
from the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco. Mr. Hovde is the beneficial
owner of 60,500 shares of the Company's common stock; an affiliate of Mr. Hovde,
Western Acquisition Partners, L.P. ("Western"), is the beneficial owner of
735,500 shares of the Company's common stock as to which Mr. Hovde disclaims
beneficial ownership. Mr. Hovde and Western beneficially own 0.6% and 7.9%,
respectively, or 8.6% in the aggregate.
ITEM 12. CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS
Some of the directors and officers of the Company and its subsidiaries
and the entities with which they are associated are customers of, and have had
banking transactions with, the Company's banking subsidiary Sunwest Bank, in the
ordinary course of Sunwest Bank's business during 1999 and may have banking
transactions with such persons in the future. All fees incurred and banking
transactions were made in compliance with applicable laws and on substantially
the same terms, including interest rates, as those prevailing for comparable
transactions with other persons and, in the opinion of the Boards of Directors
of the Company and Sunwest Bank, did not present any other unfavorable features.
At December 31, 1999, no loans to directors were outstanding. During
the year ended December 31, 1999, new loans totaling $16,000 were granted to
directors and repayments totaled $101,000.
In January 1998, the Company executed a note and security agreement
with a corporation owned by its former President and Chairman, John B. Joseph.
The note was in the amount of $514,000 representing unpaid fees for services.
The note bears interest at 9%, payable monthly, with principal due January 29,
2001. Principal payments of $100,000 were made during 1998 and currently the
note has a balance of $414,000. The note is secured by five shares of Sunwest
Bank stock. The note was acquired by an unrelated third party in April 1999.
In 1998 Eric D. Hovde acquired a note payable by the Company to a
nonaffiliated party. The terms of the note remained unchanged with an interest
rate of prime plus 2% and a maturity date of June 30, 2000.
