Amendment Description	First Choice Bancorp (the “Company”) is filing this Amendment Number 1 on Form 10-K/A (“Form 10-K/A”) to amend its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020 (“Original Form 10-K”), as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on March 15, 2021. This Form 10-K/A amends Part III, Items 10 through 14 of the Original Form 10-K to include information previously omitted from the Original Form 10-K in reliance on General Instruction G(3) to Form 10-K. General Instruction G(3) to Form 10-K provides that information required by Part III of Form 10-K may be incorporated by reference from a definitive proxy statement which involves the election of directors, if such definitive proxy statement is filed with the SEC not later than 120 days after the end of the Company’s most recently completed fiscal year. The Company does not anticipate that its definitive proxy statement for the 2021 annual meeting of shareholders will be filed within the 120-day period. Accordingly, Part III of the Original Form 10-K is hereby amended as set forth below.In addition, this Form 10-K/A amends the Original Form10-K to correct an error in the number of shares of the Company’s common stock outstanding as of March 1, 2021. The Original Form 10-K indicated that there were 11,821,987 shares outstanding as of March 1, 2021. The correct number of shares outstanding as of March 1, 2021 is 11,820,707. The cover page to this Form 10-K/A has been updated to reflect the corrected number of shares outstanding as of March 1, 2021.
