California United Bank Vice Chairman Ken Cosgrove to Be Honored at 9th Annual
Golf Tournament Benefit
California United Bank (“CUB” or “the Company”), a subsidiary of CU Bancorp (NASDAQ: CUNB), today announced that CU Bancorp
Director and California United Bank Vice Chairman Kenneth J. Cosgrove will be recognized at the Company’s 9th Annual
Golf Tournament benefit as the CUB Community Service Award recipient for 2016. The tournament, to be held on Monday, Sept. 26,
2016, at the Sherwood Country Club in Thousand Oaks, Calif., will benefit the Boys & Girls Club of the West Valley, SHAWL
(Support for Harbor Area Women’s Lives), Carousel Ranch and A Place Called Home.
“In addition to an outstanding banking career that spans more than 40 years and includes the founding of two of Orange County’s
premier banks—as well as serving as Vice Chairman of CUB—Ken has had an extraordinary impact on our community through his
philanthropic and civic activities,” said David Rainer, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of CU Bancorp and California United
Bank. “In particular, Ken’s involvement with the St. Joseph Hospital Foundation, dedicated to the philanthropic support of St.
Joseph Hospital, was instrumental in the continued development of the hospital, which was recently named one of the Best Regional
Hospitals in the Los Angeles area by U.S. News & World Report.”
Cosgrove was appointed to the St. Joseph Hospital Foundation Board in 1992 and served in every officer capacity for the
organization, including Chairman in 2004 and 2005. In 2012, he and his wife, Carolyn, were honored by the foundation with the “The
Spirit of St. Joseph” award for their community outreach and charitable support, which has helped the hospital to provide
outstanding healthcare and treatment to the community.
“In addition to his dedication to the St. Joseph Hospital Foundation, Ken also serves on the hospital’s Board of Trustees and
chairs its Finance Committee. He has also enriched our community in other ways, through his involvement as a member of the
Executive Council of Cal State Fullerton’s School of Business and Economics, as Chairman of the Orange County Economic Development
Partnership, his membership in TEC International and Rotary International, and serving as a board member of various community and
trade groups,” said Rainer.
Cosgrove has more than 40 years of banking experience and has served on the Board of Directors for CU Bancorp and California
United Bank since CUB’s acquisition of Premier Commercial Bancorp in July 2012, and was named Vice Chairman of CUB later that year.
He had served as Chairman and CEO of Premier Commercial Bank since its inception in 2001. Cosgrove was a founding executive of
Orange National Bank, initially serving as the bank’s Senior Credit Officer and Chief Operating Officer, prior to being named
President and Chief Executive Officer. Under his leadership, Orange National became the premier independent bank in Orange Country
prior to its sale in 1999. He has also served as a member of the Board of Directors and Chairman of the Pacific Coast Bankers Bank
in San Francisco, Calif.
He is a graduate of Long Beach State University and the Pacific Coast Banking School at the University of Washington.
To date, CUB has raised a total of more than $1.4 million for various local charities through its annual golf tournament.
