For years now you’ve heard me tout Pacific Continental as “The Right Bank.” And while it’s been a rather catchy and effective tag line for over a decade, during such extraordinary financial times the relevancy of this simple statement really strikes home.

· For our clients, it’s threefold: knowing their deposit dollars are safe, understanding that credit remains available and accessible, and expecting the same professional faces – or voices – will greet them when they visit or call.

· For our employees, it’s knowing that Pacific Continental remains committed to ongoing career development along with our unwavering support of their community involvement and volunteer efforts.

· For our investors, it’s understanding our company’s history of consistently strong financial performance and commitment to following a disciplined strategic business model that has met with great success over the years.

· For our community partners, it’s the knowledge and trust that Pacific Continental remains committed to serving our local communities as we have for over thirty-six years.

I want to reassure you that Pacific Continental remains a financially strong and stable financial institution. Additionally, I encourage you to review the information to the right as well as review our third-quarter 2008 financial results.
