First Citizens Bank & Trust Co will buy Silicon Valley Bank's deposits and loans, the U.S. Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation said Monday, just over two weeks after the biggest U.S. banking collapse since Lehman Brothers.

The deal includes the purchase of approximately $72 billion of SVB assets at a discount of $16.5 billion, but around $90 billion in securities and other assets will remain "in receivership for disposition by the FDIC."

"In addition, the FDIC received equity appreciation rights in First Citizens BancShares, Inc., Raleigh, North Carolina, common stock with a potential value of up to $500 million," the FDIC said in a release.

It comes after the regulator transferred all SVB deposits and assets into a new "bridge bank" earlier this month in an effort to protect depositors of the failed lender.

"The 17 former branches of Silicon Valley Bridge Bank, National Association, will open as First–Citizens Bank & Trust Company on Monday, March 27, 2023," the FDIC statement said Monday.

"Customers of Silicon Valley Bridge Bank, National Association, should continue to use their current branch until they receive notice from First–Citizens Bank & Trust Company that systems conversions have been completed to allow full–service banking at all of its other branch locations."

First Citizens Bank and the FDIC also entered into a "loss-share transaction" — in which the FDIC absorbs part of the loss on a particular pool of assets — on the commercial loans purchased from the SVB bridge bank.

"The loss–share transaction is projected to maximize recoveries on the assets by keeping them in the private sector. The transaction is also expected to minimize disruptions for loan customers," the FDIC explained.

The regulator added that the estimated cost of SVB's failure to its Deposit Insurance Fund (DIF) will be around $20 billion, with the exact cost determined once the receivership is terminated.

Regulators closed down SVB, a big name in the tech and venture capital sector, and took control of its deposits on March 10 in what was the largest U.S. bank failure since the global financial crisis.

The mayor of Boston joined Starbucks workers on a picket line Monday to show her support for unionization efforts at one of the coffee chain' s locations there. Mayor Michelle Wu said she wanted to stand with the workers who are part of a movement to organize unions at Starbucks stores nationwide. “I am here because I want you to know very clearly that the city of Boston stands with you,” Wu said Monday, according to WBZ-TV. “We are going to make sure that Boston continues to lead the way in fighting for safe working conditions and the benefits and wages and respect that you all deserve.” In an open letter July 18 directed at the store manager and the district manager , the striking Boston workers accused Starbucks of slashing work hours and creating a “chaotic and hostile” work environment.

Bud Light fumbles, but experts say inclusive ads will stay

Image
Bud Light may have fumbled its attempt to broaden its customer base by partnering with a transgender influencer. But experts say inclusive marketing is simply good business — and it’s here to stay. “A few years from now, we will look back on this ‘controversy’ with the same embarrassment that we feel when we look back at ‘controversies’ from the past surrounding things like interracial couples in advertising,” said Sarah Reynolds, the chief marketing officer for the human resources platform HiBob, who identifies as queer. On April 1, transgender influencer Dylan Mulvaney posted a video of herself cracking open a Bud Light on her Instagram page. She showed off a can with her face on it that Bud Light sent her — one of many corporate freebies she gets and shares with her millions of followers. But unlike the dress from Rent the Runway or the trip to Denmark from skincare brand Ole Henriksen, Bud Light’s partnership with Mulvaney angered some customers and hurt sales, while the brand’s ...
