Item 51.0203 ~~Departure~~Bankruptcy ~~of Directors~~ or ~~Principal Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Principal Officers~~Receivership.

~~Effective~~1st atCentennial Bancorp (the ~~close~~“Company”), intends to file a voluntary petition in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Central District of ~~business~~California, ~~January~~Riverside 30Division by March 31, 2009, ~~Beth~~seeking ~~Sanders~~relief ~~resigned~~under asChapter ~~Executive~~7 ~~Vice-President~~of Title 11 of the United States Code. The Chapter 7 bankruptcy filing is a result of the previously reported January 23, ~~Chief~~2009 ~~Financial~~Form ~~Officer~~8-K whereby the California Department of Financial Institutions closed the Company’s former subsidiary, 1st Centennial ~~Bancorp~~Bank (the “Bank”) and subsequently, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) was appointed as receiver. Subsequent to the Bank closure and receivership, the FDIC informed the Company that First California Bank, subsidiary of First California Group, Inc (NASDAQ:FCAL) assumed all non-brokered insured deposits of the Bank from the FDIC as receiver.

As a result of the FDIC being appointed receiver of 1st Centennial Bank on January 23, 2009, the assumption of non-brokered deposits by First California Bank and the planned Chapter 7 bankruptcy filing, the Company has ceased all business activity and operations, since the Bank was the Company’s only source of revenue. Upon filing of the petition, the court will appoint a bankruptcy trustee who will be responsible for liquidating the Company.
