forward-looking statements regulatory

"This press release contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995"

Forward-looking statements are predictions or plans that companies share about what they expect to happen in the future, like estimating sales or profits. They matter because they help investors understand a company's outlook, but since they are based on guesses and assumptions, they can sometimes be wrong.

Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 regulatory

"forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995"

Equal Housing Lender financial

"The Bank is an Equal Housing Lender and a member of FDIC."

A lender who uses the phrase or logo “Equal Housing Lender” is signaling compliance with U.S. fair‑housing and anti‑discrimination rules that require mortgage and housing-related credit decisions to be based on financial factors, not race, gender, national origin, disability or similar traits. For investors, that label matters because it indicates the institution is managing legal and reputational risk associated with discriminatory lending; compliance helps protect a lender’s ability to originate loans, maintain regulatory standing and avoid costly fines or lawsuits — similar to a restaurant displaying health inspection compliance to reassure patrons and regulators.

Prior to that, he served as President of First Community Bancorp and Pacific Western Bank, and earlier as President, Chief Executive Officer, and Director of Community Bancorp Inc.

“Mike Perdue is exactly the caliber of director that reflects what we’re building at BayCom,” said Lloyd Kendall, Chairman of the Board. “His track record as a CEO, operator, and public company leader speaks for itself, and his judgment will be invaluable to this Board as we continue to execute our strategy.”

“Mike has been a colleague, a mentor, and one of the most principled people I’ve had the privilege to work with,” said Bill Black, Executive Vice Chairman. “He builds strong, enduring franchises with consistency and integrity. We’re fortunate to have him join the Board, and our shareholders, employees and clients will benefit.”

“Mike brings a rare combination of operating discipline and local market knowledge that’s directly relevant to where we are headed,” said Christopher Baron, Chief Executive Officer. “As we continue to grow in Southern California, his perspective, particularly from building and integrating banks in this region, will be immediately impactful in the boardroom.”

Mr. Perdue’s appointment continues BayCom’s commitment to assembling a leadership team and Board of exceptional caliber. “The quality of the people choosing to join BayCom — at every level — is the clearest signal of where this company is headed,” added Mr. Black. “The best is yet to come.”
