Item 3.
SOURCE AND AMOUNT OF FUNDS OR OTHER CONSIDERATION

Funds for the purchase of the 75,000 shares (the “Initial Shares”) of Series B-2 Convertible 8.4% Noncumulative Preferred Stock, no par value, (the “Series B-2 Preferred Stock”) reported herein were derived from available working capital of SBAV.  A total of $7,500,000.00 was paid to acquire such Initial Shares.

Item 4.
PURPOSE OF TRANSACTION.

On August 26, 2011, the Reporting Persons acquired the Initial Shares of Series B-2 Preferred Stock for investment in the ordinary course of business, pursuant to that certain Stock Purchase Agreement, dated August 26, 2011, among SBAV, Carpenter Community Bancfund, L.P, Carpenter Community Bancfund –A, L.P. and the Issuer (the “Stock Purchase Agreement”).  Each Initial Share is convertible into such whole number of shares of Common Stock as is obtained by dividing (i) $100 by (ii) $5.32, subject to adjustment for stock splits and combinations and dividends and distributions made by the Issuer in shares of Common Stock; provided that cash is paid in lieu of any fractional shares of Common Stock.  As of the date hereof, each Initial Share is convertible into 18 shares of Common Stock, for an  aggregate of 1,409,774 shares of Common Stock for all the Initial Shares.  However, pursuant to the terms of the Certificate of Determination of Rights, Preferences, Privileges and Restrictions of the Series B-1 Convertible 8.4% Noncumulative Preferred Stock (the “Series B-1 Preferred Stock”) and the Series B-2 Preferred Stock of the Issuer (the “Certificate of Determination”), the Reporting Persons shall not have the right to exercise voting rights with respect to the Series B-2 Preferred Stock on any matter to the extent that at such time, giving effect to such voting rights would result in the Reporting Persons beneficially owning shares of any class or series of capital stock of the Issuer that are then entitled to be voted (“Voting Securities”) having the right to vote in excess of 9.99% of the aggregate voting power of all classes of Voting Securities of the Issuer outstanding and entitled to vote on any such matter.
 
 
 

 
CUSIP No.  694552100
 
 
SCHEDULE 13D
Page 7  of  9  Pages

 
The Reporting Persons believe that the Initial Shares, when purchased, represented an attractive investment opportunity.

Concurrently with the closing of the transactions contemplated by the Stock Purchase Agreement, the Issuer and SBAV entered into the following agreements:

(1)  a Registration Rights Agreement (the "Registration Rights Agreement"), pursuant to which the Issuer agreed to provide certain registration rights with respect to the shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Initial Shares under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, and applicable state securities laws.

(2)  an Investor Rights Agreement (the "Investor Rights Agreement"), pursuant to which (i) SBAV has certain pre-emptive rights in future issuances of securities by the Issuer and (ii) the Issuer will appoint a nominee (the “Nominee”) designated by SBAV (who may be affiliated with SBAV) to serve as a member of (a) the board of directors of the Issuer (the “Issuer Board”), (b) the board of directors of Pacific Mercantile Bank, a California banking corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Issuer (the “Bank”) (such board of directors, the “Bank Board”) and (c) each of the respective committees of the Issuer Board and the Bank Board for which the Nominee qualifies.  Until the date as of which all approvals or clearances required to be received from the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System or the Commissioner of the Department of Financial Institutions of the State of California for appointments to the Issuer Board and Bank Board have been received (or, if so desired by SBAV, in lieu of serving as a member of the Issuer Board and the Bank Board), the Nominee is entitled to serve as an observer on the Issuer Board and the Bank Board (an “Observer”).  The Observer shall be without voting power or power of final decision in matters concerning the business of the Issuer and the Bank, but shall be permitted to attend all meetings of the Issuer Board and the Bank Board, and the Issuer and Bank shall provide the Observer, in the same manner as provided to the members of the Issuer Board or the Bank Board, as applicable, notice of such meetings and copies of all minutes, consents and other materials, financial and otherwise, which the Issuer or Bank provides its respective directors.  On August 26, 2011, SBAV designated Daniel Strauss as its Nominee.  Mr. Strauss will serve as an Observer until the necessary governmental approvals have been received for his appointment.

(3)  an Additional Series B Stock Purchase Agreement (the “Additional SPA”), pursuant to which the Issuer agreed to sell and SBAV agreed to purchase (x) an additional 10,000 shares of Series B-2 Preferred Stock and (y) stock purchase warrants, which, subject to certain conditions, will entitle SBAV to purchase up to 399,436 shares of Common Stock, in each case subject to customary closing conditions, including, but not limited to (i) the Issuer obtaining any and all necessary approvals and consents, (ii) no governmental authority seeking to enjoin or prevent the transactions contemplated by the Additional SPA, (iii) the Bank maintaining certain capital ratios and (iv) the closing of a purchase and sale of Common Stock pursuant to an agreement between the Issuer, Carpenter Community Bancfund, L.P. and Carpenter Community Bancfund –A, L.P.  A copy of the form of Warrant is attached as Exhibit C to the Additional SPA.

SBAV may assign some or all of its rights under the Registration Rights Agreement and the Investor Rights Agreement to a person to whom it has transferred ownership of some or all of the Initial Shares without the consent of the Issuer.
