Item 7.01 Regulation FD Disclosure.

As previously reported, in October 2009 Pacific Mercantile Bancorp (the “Company”), commenced a private offering to a limited number of sophisticated investors of up to $15.5 million of Series A Convertible 10% Cumulative Preferred Stock (the “Series A Shares”) at a price of $100.00 per Series A Share. A summary of the rights, preferences and privileges of, and restrictions on, the Series A Shares was set forth in the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K dated October 6, 2009, which summary is incorporated herein by this reference. In addition, a copy of the Company’s Certificate of Determination of Rights, Preferences, Privileges and Restrictions of Series A Convertible 10% Cumulative Preferred Stock (the “Certificate of Determination”) was attached as Exhibit 3.1 to that Current Report on Form 8-K.

Through February 26, 2010, the Company had sold a total of 85,500 Series A Shares, raising a total of $8,550,000 of cash in this offering. The Company has decided to extend the offering to March 31, 2010 from the previously scheduled expiration date of February 28, 2010.

This disclosures contained in this Current Report on Form 8-K do not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy any security. The Series A Shares are being offered and sold to a select number of accredited investors in reliance upon the exemption from registration afforded by Rule 506 of Regulation D as promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) and/or Section 4(2) of the Securities Act. Neither the Series A Shares nor the shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of the Series A Shares have been registered under the Securities Act or any applicable state securities laws, and may not be offered or sold in the United States absent such registration or an applicable exemption from such registration requirements.
