ITEM 7.01                      REGULATION FD DISCLOSURE

On May 2, 2016. Pacific Premier Bancorp, Inc. (PPBI), issued a press release setting forth plans to consolidate three branch offices of Pacific Premier Bank, PPBI's wholly-owned subsidiary, as part of a branch network optimization strategy. Pacific Premier Bank's Seal Beach branch and Point Loma branch in San Diego are expected to be closed on July 29, 2016. Pacific Premier Bank also expects to close the Smoke Tree branch in Palm Springs on August 5, 2016. In each market, customers will be able to utilize a different Pacific Premier Bank branch located within 5 miles of the former branch.

PPBI expects to incur a pre-tax charge of approximately $200,000 during the third quarter of 2016 related to the branch consolidations. Projected savings are anticipated to be approximately $800,000 per year on a pre-tax basis.

Most of the personnel from the impacted branches will transfer to nearby branches. Following the consolidation efforts, Pacific Premier Bank will maintain a network of 16 branches serving customers throughout Southern California.

A copy of PPBI's press release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and hereby incorporated by reference. Information contained herein, including Exhibit 99.1, shall not be deemed filed for the purposes of the Securities Act of 1934, nor shall such information and Exhibit be deemed incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, except as shall be expressly set forth by specific reference in such a filing.
