(Crain's) ShoreBank, the South Side lender that carved out a national reputation by successfully lending in low-income urban neighborhoods for three decades, was seized by regulators Friday after an extraordinary rescue effort featuring the nations largest financial firms fell short.
But all was not lost for the neighborhoods ShoreBank has served for more than three decades.
The new management of the bank, led by former First Chicago Corp. senior executive David Vitale, acquired $1.54 billion in deposits and most of ShoreBanks $2.14 billion in assets from the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. and will reopen ShoreBanks 15 branches in the Chicago area, Cleveland and Detroit Saturday morning as Urban Partnership Bank.
The Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. agreed to share losses on $1.41 billion of those assets. The management-led buyout team agreed to pay a 0.5% premium for the deposits and received an asset discount of $146 million.
