NEW YORK, November 3, 2016 – Bragar Eagel & Squire, P.C. is investigating potential claims on behalf of Banc of California, Inc. (NYSE: BANC) stockholders concerning whether the company’s officers and board of directors violated the federal securities laws.

On October 18, 2016, an article published on Seeking Alpha alleged that Banc of California had concealed numerous connections between it and Jason Galanis, who has been convicted of criminal securities fraud, including that:  (1) Banc of California CEO Jason Sugarman was the founder, CEO, and indirect owner of a company controlled by Galanis; and (2) separately, Galanis controlled Banc of California's founding shareholder.  The Seeking Alpha article also alleged that Banc of California had used an off-balance sheet entity to make loans to insiders.  On this news, shares of Banc of California fell over 29% per share to close at $11.26 per share on October 18, 2016.
