PacWest Bancorp shares are trading lower by 28.61% to $14.20 Friday morning. The stock is sharply lower as shares of several regional banks and financial institutions sell off on downward momentum after SVB Financial Group Wednesday announced a $1.25 billion common stock offering.

SVB Financial Group was also halted during pre-market trading Friday at around 8:41am ET for code news pending. Amid the trading halt, CNBC’s David Faber is now reporting the company’s proposed capital raise has failed, with CNBC reporting SVB Financial is in talks to sell itself.
