HERITAGE COMMERCE CORP 8-K

What Happened

• Heritage Commerce Corp (HTBK) filed an 8-K on April 1, 2026 reporting that Heritage and CVB Financial Corp. (CVBF) have received all requisite regulatory approvals for the previously announced merger of Heritage into CVBF and Heritage Bank of Commerce into Citizens Business Bank. The mergers are governed by the Agreement and Plan of Reorganization and Merger dated December 17, 2025. The parties expect to close the mergers on April 17, 2026, subject to satisfaction or waiver of the remaining closing conditions.

Key Details

• Regulatory approvals for the mergers were received as of April 1, 2026.
• Merger Agreement date: December 17, 2025.
• Expected closing date: April 17, 2026, pending remaining closing conditions.
• CVBF’s Registration Statement on Form S-4 was filed Feb 10, 2026 and declared effective Feb 12, 2026; see the S-4 and each company’s 2025 Form 10-Ks for risk factors and transaction details.

Why It Matters

• Receiving regulatory approvals clears a major hurdle for the planned combination of Heritage into CVB Financial and its bank into Citizens Business Bank, moving the transaction closer to closing.
• The transaction’s completion could affect shareholders and customers once the remaining closing conditions are met—investors should review the S-4, each company’s SEC filings, and the stated risk factors for details and potential impacts.
• The filing includes standard forward-looking statement disclaimers: the closing can still be delayed or terminated if closing conditions aren’t satisfied.
