Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement

UCBH Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation ("UCBH"), and Pacifica Bancorp, Inc., a Washington corporation ("Pacifica Bancorp"), each registered as a bank holding company under the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956, as amended, entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger dated as of May 23, 2005 (the "Merger Agreement"). UCBH is the holding company of United Commercial Bank, a California state-chartered bank ("UCB"), and Pacifica Bancorp is the holding company of Pacifica Bank, a Washington state-chartered bank.

Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, Pacifica Bancorp will merge with and into UCBH Merger Sub, Inc., a newly formed, wholly owned California subsidiary of UCBH ("Merger Sub"), with Merger Sub as the surviving corporation in such merger (the "Merger"), for a total consideration of approximately $40.3 million (as of the most recent closing price for UCBH), comprised of the issuance of approximately 1.2 million shares of UCBH common stock, $16.0 million in cash and approximately $3.6 million related to the cash-out of the outstanding stock options of Pacifica Bancorp. It is contemplated that immediately following the consummation of the Merger, Pacifica Bank will merge with and into United Commercial Bank in a separate transaction.

In accordance with the terms of the Merger Agreement, upon consummation of the Merger, the outstanding shares of common stock, no par value, of Pacifica Bancorp will be converted into, at the election of the holder thereof, (i) shares of UCBH common stock, par value $0.01, in accordance with the Exchange Ratio (as defined below), (ii) cash in the amount of the Per Share Cash Consideration (as defined below), or (iii) a combination of a specified number of shares of UCBH common stock with respect to some of such holder's common stock in Pacifica Bancorp and cash with respect to the remainder of such holder's stock in Pacifica Bancorp. "Exchange Ratio" means the number of shares of UCBH common stock into which a share of common stock of Pacifica Bancorp shall be converted, which number shall be equal to the quotient (to the nearest ten-thousandth) of (i) the Per Share Amount (as defined below) divided by (ii) the Average Closing Price (as defined below). "Per Share Cash Consideration" means an amount of cash, without interest, equal to the Per Share Amount. "Per Share Amount" means the quotient of (i) the sum of (A) the product of (I) 1,198,795 multiplied by (II) the Average Closing Price, plus (B) $16,024,000, divided by (ii) 3,544,597, rounded to the nearest whole cent. "Average Closing Price" means the average of the daily closing price of a share of UCBH common stock reported on the Nasdaq National Market during the ten (10) consecutive trading days preceding the fifth (5) business day prior the date of consummation of the Merger.

Each share of the capital stock of Merger Sub outstanding immediately prior to the consummation of the Merger shall remain outstanding and shall not be converted or otherwise affected by the Merger, and such shares shall thereafter constitute all of the issued and outstanding shares of Merger Sub as the surviving corporation in the Merger.

Consummation of the Merger is subject to various closing conditions, including, among others, (i) receipt of the approval of the Merger Agreement by Pacifica Bancorp's stockholders; (ii) holders of not more than seven percent of the outstanding shares of capital stock of Pacifica Bancorp having perfected dissenter's rights pursuant to the Washington Business Corporations Act; (iii) receipt of the requisite regulatory approvals from the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System and other federal and state regulatory authorities; (iv) the net worth of Pacifica Bancorp being be not less than the Company Closing Net Worth (as defined below), excluding certain considerations; and (v) receipt of an opinion from Pricewaterhouse Coopers as to the tax treatment of the Merger. "Company Closing Net Worth" means, if the consummation of the Merger occurs on or before July 31, 2005, $17,173,000; if the consummation of the Merger occurs on or after August 1, 2005 but on or before August 31, 2005, $17,363,000; if such consummation occurs on or after September 1, 2005 but on or before September 30, 2005, $17,566,000; if such consummation occurs on or after October 1, 2005 but on or before October 31, 2005, $17,764,000; and if the such consummation occurs on or after November 1, 2005, $17,996,000.

Further, Pacifica Bancorp may terminate the Merger Agreement for various reasons prior to consummation of the Merger, including but not limited to the circumstance where the Average Closing Price (as defined above) is less than $16.50; provided, however, that if Pacifica Bancorp elects to terminate the Merger Agreement for such reason, UCBH may render such election null and void, and thereby revive the Merger Agreement, by agreeing to change the Per Share Amount (as defined above) to $10.07, provided that UCBH's election to change the Per Share Amount shall be in a combination of shares of UCBH common stock and cash that does not negate or adversely impact the conclusions reflected in the tax opinion to be delivered as a closing condition to the Merger.

UCBH may also terminate the Merger Agreement for various reasons prior to consummation of the Merger, including but not limited to the circumstance where the Average Closing Price (as defined above) is greater than $23.50; provided, however, that if UCBH elects to terminate the Merger Agreement for such reason, Pacifica Bancorp may render such election null and void, and thereby revive the Merger Agreement, by agreeing to change the Per Share Amount (as defined above) to $12.43, provided that Pacifica Bancorp's election to change the Per Share Amount shall be in a combination of shares of UCBH common stock and cash that does not negate or adversely impact the conclusions reflected in the tax opinion to be delivered as a closing condition to the Merger.

Each of Pacifica Bancorp and UCBH shall pay to the other a "break-up fee" in the event such party terminates the Merger Agreement upon certain conditions.

The news release jointly issued by UCBH and Pacifica Bancorp announcing the Merger is included as Exhibit 99.1 hereto and is incorporated herein by reference.

INFORMATION CONCERNING PARTICIPANTS

The Company and its directors may be deemed to be participants in the solicitation of proxies from the Company stockholders to approve the merger. One of the directors of the Company has an interest in the merger that differs from or may be in addition to the interests of the Company stockholders generally. That interest, which will be described in greater detail in the proxy statement with respect to the merger, includes the interest of Mr. Kennedy in the Severance Agreement, dated December 7, 2004, that Mr. Kennedy entered into with the Bank, which UCBH has agreed to honor.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION AND WHERE TO FIND IT

The Company plans to file and mail to its stockholders a proxy statement containing information about the Company, the proposed merger, and related matters. Stockholders are urged to read the proxy statement carefully when it is available, as it will contain important information that stockholders should understand before making a decision about the merger. When the proxy statement is completed, the Company will mail it to its stockholders to seek their approval of the merger. The proxy statement (when it is filed), as well as other filings containing information about the Company, can be obtained without charge at the SEC's web site (http://www.sec.gov). Copies of the proxy statement, when available, and the Company's SEC filings will also be obtainable, without charge, from John Huddleston, the Bank's Chief Financial Officer, Skyline Tower, 10900 NE 4^th Street, Suite 200, Bellevue, Washington 98004, (425) 637-1188.
