San Diego, CA -- (SBWire) -- 11/05/2015 --An investigation for shareholders in OTCMKTS:SCAF shares was announced concerning whether the takeover of Security California Bancorp by Pacific Premier Bancorp, Inc is unfair to OTCMKTS:SCAF stockholders.

The investigation by a law firm concerns whether certain officers and directors of Security California Bancorp breached their fiduciary duties owed to OTCMKTS:SCAF investors in connection with the proposed acquisition.

On October 1, 2015, Pacific Premier Bancorp, Inc. (NASDAQ: PPBI), the holding company of Pacific Premier Bank ("Pacific Premier Bank"), announced that it has entered into a definitive agreement to acquire Security California Bancorp (OTCMKTS:SCAF), the holding company of Security Bank of California. Under the terms of the definitive agreement, upon consummation of the acquisition, holders of Security California Bancorp (OTCMKTS:SCAF) common stock will have the right to receive 0.9629 shares of Pacific Premier common stock for each share of Security common stock they own.
