CVB Financial: Submission Of Matters To A Vote Of Security Holders, Regulation Fd Disclosure, Financial Statements And Exhibits

Item 5.07 Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders.On March 26, 2026, CVB Financial Corp., a California corporation (the “Company” or “CVBF”), held a special meeting of shareholders (the “Special Meeting”) in connection with the Agreement and Plan of Reorganization and Merger (the “Reorganization Agreement”) between the Company and Heritage Commerce Corp (“Heritage”), pursuant to which Heritage will merge with and into the Company, with the Company continuing as the surviving corporation (the “Merger”), and immediately following the Merger, Heritage Bank of Commerce, a California banking corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of Heritage, will merge (the “Bank Merger” and, with the “Merger”, the “Mergers”) with and into Citizens Business Bank, National Association, a national bank and wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (“Citizens”), with Citizens continuing as the surviving bank in the Bank Merger. At the Special Meeting, CVBF’s shareholders considered the following proposals: (i) a proposal (the “Merger Proposal”) to approve the principal terms of the Reorganization Agreement, by and between CVBF and Heritage and the transactions contemplated thereby, including the merger and the issuance of shares of CVBF common stock to the shareholders of Heritage in connection with the merger; and (ii) a proposal (the “Adjournment Proposal”) to approve the adjournment of the special meeting of CVBF to another time or place, if necessary or appropriate, to solicit additional proxies if there are insufficient votes at the time of the CVBF special meeting to approve the Merger Proposal, or to ensure that any supplement or amendment to the joint proxy statement/prospectus is timely provided to the holders of CVBF common stock.As of February 9, 2026, the record date for the Special Meeting, there were 135,792,701 shares of the Company’s common stock outstanding and eligible to vote. 103,623,241.13 shares were present and counted toward a quorum at the Special Meeting, representing approximately 76.31% of the outstanding shares entitled to vote.The Company’s shareholders approved the Merger Proposal, which required the affirmative vote of a majority of the shares of the Company’s common stock outstanding as of the record date. The voting results for the Merger Proposal, including the votes for and against, and any abstentions or broker non-votes, are as follows: Aggregate Votes FOR AGAINST ABSTENTIONS* BROKER NON-VOTES* 103,515,602.13 57,008.00 50,631.00 — * Abstentions were included in determining the number of shares present at the Special Meeting for the purpose of determining the presence of a quorum. Since none of the proposals to be voted on at the Special Meeting were routine matters for which brokers may have discretionary authority to vote, broker non-votes were not counted as represented for purposes of establishing a quorum at the Special Meeting. As sufficient votes were cast in favor of the Merger Proposal, no adjournment of the Special Meeting was determined to be necessary or appropriate, and accordingly, the Special Meeting was not adjourned and proceeded to conclusion, and the Adjournment Proposal was not acted upon.Item 7.01 Regulation FD Disclosure.On March 26, 2026, the Company and Heritage issued a joint press release announcing the results of the Special Meeting of CVBF and the results of the virtual special meeting of Heritage’s shareholders also held on March 26, 2026.
