Item 5.02 Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.
Due to health reasons, Mr. Larry M. Rinehart tendered his resignation as a non-executive director of PFF Bancorp, Inc. (the “Company”), effective December 16, 2008.
Item 8.01 Other Events.
As previously disclosed, the Company, together with its direct and indirect subsidiaries, filed a voluntary petition in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware on December 5, 2008, seeking relief under Chapter 11 of Title 11 of the United States Code (the “Bankruptcy Code”).
Also as previously disclosed, on December 3, 2008 the Company entered into an asset purchase agreement with California Financial Partners, a California corporation (“CFP”) whereby the Company agreed to sell to CFP, and CFP agreed to purchase and acquire from the Company, certain assets of the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary, Glencrest Investment Advisors, Inc. On January 6, 2009, the Bankruptcy Court approved the sale to CFP and Glencrest Investment Advisors intends to withdraw from registration as an investment advisor with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
The Company’s bankruptcy proceeding under Chapter 11 is not expected to result in the emergence of a reorganized, ongoing entity. Rather, the Company’s bankruptcy proceeding is a liquidating Chapter 11. The Company is managing its business as a debtor-in-possession pursuant to the provisions of the Bankruptcy Code and is in the process of liquidating all of its remaining assets for distribution to creditors.
