Company Profile 

PCB Bank Headquarters  

PCB Bancorp (“PCB”) is the parent company of PCB Bank, 
(the  “Bank”)  a  community  bank  founded  in  2003  with  a 
mission to help first generation Asian-American immigrants 
realize the American dream through business ownership. 

The Bank is a full-service bank that offers a broad range of 
loans  along  with  deposit  products  focused  on  individuals, 
professionals, and small-to-medium sized businesses.

The  Bank  serves  a  diverse  customer  base  through  its  16 
branch  locations,  11  full-service  branches  in  Los  Angeles 
and Orange counties, California, three full-service branches 
on  the  East  Coast  (Bayside,  New  York,  and  Englewood 
Cliffs  and  Palisade  Park,  New  Jersey),  two  full-service 
branches  in  Texas  (Carrollton  and  Dallas),  as  well  as  nine 
loan  production  offices  (“LPOs”)  in  six  states  serving  a 
diverse ethnic background. The Bank is one of the leading 
banks in the Korean-American community.

Dear Shareholders: 

Year  2022  has  been  a  busy  and  challenging  time  for  all  of  us.  In  spite  of  the 

lingering  aftermath  of  the  global  pandemic  and  recent  turmoil  in  the  regional 

banking  sector,  we  are  pleased  to  share  some  of  our  notable  accomplishments 

we achieved during the year.  

•   Recognition as the Best Performing Bank – In 2022, PCB was recognized as the

    #1 performing bank among the 300 largest publicly-traded banks in the U.S. by

    BankDirector based on our overall fiscal year 2021 performance. 

•   Rebranding – We unveiled our new name “PCB BANK” along with a new logo.

    Our former name “Pacific City Bank” served its purpose over the past 19 years,

      but  given  our  strategic  plans  to  expand  in  multiple  states  and  go  beyond  our 

   current marketplaces, we believed it was the optimal time to demonstrate our 

  commitment  to  “People,  Community,  and  Business  banking”  and  expand 

    beyond our West Coast footprint. 

•   Strong Financial Performance - We earned a $35.0 million, or $2.31 per diluted

    share, for 2022, and our return on assets was 1.54%.  Our total assets increased

  by $270.3 million, or 12.6%, to $2,420.0 million and our deposits increased by
