History
On July 17, 2002, Pacific Capital announced to refile its quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the first quarter of 2002 to reflect approximately $850,000 of additional net income.[1]
In financial difficulties after the recession, the tax division was sold to Santa Barbara Tax Products Group and Gerald J. Ford bought a 91% stake in the company in 2010.[2][3] In 2012, Union Bank announced its acquisition of Pacific Capital Bancorp for $1.5 billion[4] and employees were placed on notice on November 30.[5]
