The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation will seek bids for Silicon Valley Private Bank until March 22 and for the bridge bank until March 24
and hold two separate auctions for its traditional deposits unit and its private bank after failing to find a buyer for the failed lender last week.
It will seek bids for Silicon Valley Private Bank until March 22 and for the bridge bank until March 24. The private bank, which is housed within SVB’s retail operations, caters to high net-worth individuals.Last week, sources told Reuters that the FDIC was planning to relaunch the sale process for SVB, with the regulator seeking a potential breakup of the failed lender.
The parent company of the lender SVB Financial Group had on Friday filed for a reorganization under Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection and sought buyers for its assets after steps to shore up investor confidence failed. The FDIC, which insures deposits and manages receiverships, had informed banks mulling offers in the auctions for SVB and Signature Bank that it was considering retaining some of the assets that are underwater.
Reuters reported on Sunday that the efforts of some U.S. regional banks to raise capital and allay fears about their health are running up against concerns from potential buyers and investors about looming losses in their assets. The run on the bank was sparked by balance-sheet concerns after the lender sold a portfolio of treasuries and mortgage-backed securities to Goldman Sachs at a $1.8-billion loss and then attempted to plug that hole through a $2.25-billion fundraising.
