The shareholders get wiped out, of course, and the FDIC can also seek to collect cash by unwinding recent transactions like stock sales and such by executives and insiders. The effect is like a summary reorganization in bankruptcy, with claw backs and a new lender or owner injecting capital and setting many of the terms and details.
As applied to the Silicon Valley Bank, my guess is that the FDIC and other state and federal regulators by now have the necessary administrative and federal court orders in place and that the FDIC has negotiated a sale of the bank. An announcement will be made by tomorrow afternoon, with new signage and executives from the new owner in place for the start of business on Monday morning.
For the right new owner, a Silicon Valley Bank with a clean balance sheet is a great acquisition because of its blue chip customer base and deep entree into the venture capital industry.
There’s always a cost analysis - what assets does an assuming bank want, what liabilities is it willing to assume, and is the deal better for the FDIC than keeping the assets.
Unless someone was already kicking the tires, I’d run from any bank that would take this with only a couple of days of due diligence.
DINBs are rare enough that I really don’t know where they are going next with this one. I do expect a significant advance dividend on uninsureds next week. But I don’t even know how they are going to do that. Transfer to the DINB as paying agent? Transfer to someone else as paying agent? Mailing paper checks?
