Under the terms of these transactions, U.S. Bank will receive approximately $12.8 billion of assets and assume approximately $11.3 billion of liabilities, including $9.7 billion of deposits, of Downey Savings & Loan and will receive approximately $3.7 billion in assets and assume approximately $3.5 billion of liabilities, including $2.4 billion of deposits, of PFF Bank & Trust. As part of the transactions, U.S. Bank has agreed to assume the first $1.5 billion and $0.1 billion of expected losses on the assets of Downey Savings & Loan and PFF Bank & Trust, respectively. Any losses in excess of these amounts will be subject to a loss sharing agreement with the FDIC. U.S. Bank will not acquire any assets or liabilities of the banks’ parent holding companies, Downey Financial Corp. or PFF Bancorp Inc. These acquisitions are expected to meet or exceed the company’s internal financial hurdles for internal rate of return and earnings per share accretion.
“The timing of this transaction could not be better, as we have just completed the highly successful integration of our Mellon 1st Business Bank acquisition in Los Angeles and Orange County. With the addition of the Downey Savings & Loan and PFF Bank & Trust branch locations, we continue to widen our distribution network in our growing California and Arizona markets,” commented Joseph M. Otting, vice chairman of commercial banking and U.S. Bancorp’s Western U.S. senior executive. “Once the conversions and integrations are completed, both current and new customers of U.S. Bank will have the increased convenience of 561 branches in California and 75 branches in Arizona to serve their banking needs. This also presents a great opportunity for us to deepen customer relationships by offering U.S. Bank’s extensive mix of products and services to our new customers.”
