It's not known at this moment if the US Treasury is still the holder of the Banks' outstanding preferred stock.
According to Banktracker - As of Oct. 16, 2013 they were but that was 10 months ago and may have changed. The wording in the PR uses the word "investors" which sounds like those shares may have been auctioned off since then to private investors. *Ownership of those Preferred Stocks will be confirmed in an upcoming post.
At any rate whoever holds those shares will be taking a 25% haircut if this deal goes thru. I can't imagine that isn't causing some heartburn among those holders. Valley Community Bank
