Notes:

  • The winning bidder's acquisition of all the deposits was the least costly resolution compared to a liquidation alternative and the other bids. The liquidation alternative was valued using valuation models to estimate the market value of the assets. The bids for loss share were valued using a discounted cash flow analysis for the loss share portfolio over the life of the loss share agreement. If any bids were received that would have been more costly than liquidation they have been excluded from this summary.
  • The Other Bidder Names and the Other Bids are in random order. There is no linkage between bidder names and bids, except in the case of the winning bid and the cover bid.
  • There are more bids than bidders because one or more bidders submitted more than one bid.
  • This summary does not include bid information for United Commercial Bank's subsidiaries.
