<p>The transaction is structured as a whole bank purchase with loss share coverage. First Citizens was selected to complete this transaction through a competitive bidding process.</p>
<p>Silicon Valley Bank collapsed on Friday, March 10 and was taken over by the FDIC which also guaranteed all depositors their money.</p>
<p><span class="xn-person">Frank B. Holding, Jr.</span>, chairman and CEO of First Citizens, said: &#8220;First Citizens has a reputation for financial strength, exceptional customer service and prudent lending that spans 125 years. We have partnered with the FDIC to successfully complete more FDIC-assisted transactions since 2009 than any other bank, and we appreciate the confidence the FDIC has placed in us once again. We look forward to building relationships with our new customers and positioning our company for continued success as we affirm our commitment to support the integrity of our nation&#8217;s banking system.&#8221;</p>
<p>As part of the agreement, First Citizens Bank will assume Silicon Valley Bridge Bank, N.A. assets of <span class="xn-money">$110 billion</span>, deposits of <span class="xn-money">$56 billion</span> and loans of <span class="xn-money">$72 billion</span>, based on latest information provided by the FDIC. First Citizens Bank will additionally receive an available line of credit from the FDIC for contingent liquidity purposes. In addition, First Citizens Bank has entered into a loss share agreement with the FDIC to provide further downside protection against potential credit losses. First Citizens Bank will not acquire any of the assets, common stock, preferred stock, debt or assume any other obligations of SVB Financial Group, the former holding company of Silicon Valley Bank (&#8220;SVB&#8221;).</p>
<p>On <span class="xn-chron">March 27, 2023</span>, the 17 legacy Silicon Valley Bridge Bank, N.A. branches will begin operating as Silicon Valley Bank, a division of First Citizens Bank.</p>
<p>There will be no immediate change to customers&#8217; current accounts, and they will be able to continue to access their accounts as they do today — through their current websites, mobile apps and branch locations. They can continue to use their checks and cards and will still have ATM and online access to their accounts. Loan customers should continue making loan payments as usual. Customers will be notified of any future account changes in advance.</p>
<p>As of March 10, 2023, Silicon Valley Bridge Bank, National Association, had approximately $167 billion in total assets and about $119 billion in total deposits. The First Citizens transaction included the purchase of about $72 billion of Silicon Valley Bridge Bank, National Association&#8217;s assets at a discount of $16.5 billion. Approximately $90 billion in securities and other assets will remain in the receivership for disposition by the FDIC.
