The Partners Bank FDIC losses are estimated to be $28.6M from this closure. There was no loss-share agreement reported with Stonegate Bank, the acquiring bank.
The American United Bank FDIC losses are estimated to be $44M. The FDIC did enter a loss-share agreement with Ameris Bank, the acquirer, for $92M.
The Hillcrest Bank Florida FDIC losses are estimated to be $45M. There is no loss-share agreement with Stonegate, the acquiring bank, who only agreed to purchase $28M in assets from Hillcrest, the FDIC will retain all other assets.
The Flagship National Bank FDIC losses are estimated to be $59M. The FDIC entered into a loss-share agreement with First Federal Bank of Florida, the acquiring bank, for $130M.
The Bank of Elmwood FDIC losses are estimated to be $101.1M. No loss-share was reported, but Tri-City National Bank agreed to buy “essentially” all of the assets of Elmwood.
The Riverview Community Bank FDIC losses are estimated to cost the FDIC $20M. The FDIC did enter a loss-share agreement with Central Bank, the acquiring bank, for $75M.
The First Dupage Bank FDIC losses are estimated to cost $59M. The FDIC did enter a loss-share agreement with First Midwest Bank, the acquiring bank, for $247M.
The losses the FDIC will realize from this weeks closures are pretty severe, especially since we had that 2 week break in bank closures. At this rate there is no way the extra $45B raised by the 3 year front load of bank fees will cover the potential losses from bank failures. The FDIC likes to make the claim that over 800 banks failed during the S&L problem in the 1980′s, but there is no real comparison considering those banks were so much smaller and insignificant versus the banks failing today. Regardless of that basic fact, some experts say we will suffer more than 1,000 bank closures over the next few years which is worse than the S&L crisis. Not to mention that when Georgian Bank closed it was not even ON the troubled bank list the FDIC is keeping, so there are plenty of surprises to be had.
This weeks FDIC immediate and potential losses:
| Estimated Immediate Losses |
$356.7M |
| Loss-Share Agreements |
$616.6M |
| Totals |
$973.3M |
