CVB Financial Corp. (NASDAQ: CVBF) announced today that its principal subsidiary, Citizens Business Bank (CBB), repaid a $200 million fixed rate advance from the Federal Home Loan Bank. The advance was scheduled to mature in November 2016 and carried an interest rate of 4.52%. The repayment of this advance resulted in a $13.4 million termination expense on a pre-tax basis. The repayment was funded from CBB deposits at the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco. The effective date of the transaction was February 23, 2015.

CBB took this action to: (1) deleverage the balance sheet and (2) reduce ongoing funding costs. Management is confident that the Bank has sufficient cash reserves to fund its current and ongoing business activities.
