BOSTON, Sep 17, 2009 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- Boston Private Financial Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ: BPFH) today announced that it has completed the sale of Coral Gables, Florida-based Gibraltar Private Bank & Trust for $93 million to private investors.
"This transaction improves our capital position, strengthens our balance sheet and improves our consolidated credit metrics," said Timothy L. Vaill, Chairman and CEO of BPFH. "It also increases our liquidity, creating flexibility that opens up a variety of options such as reallocating capital to our strongest performers to drive organic growth, reducing debt, and optimizing our capital structure."
The key elements of the Gibraltar Private sale include the following:
-- $93 million in cash proceeds
-- $1.4 billion reduction in total assets, boosting BPFH's key TCE/TA ratio by approximately 100 basis points to 6.2 percent (1)
-- $50 million reduction of non-performing assets, a 34% decline(1)
-- $91 million reduction in classified loans, a 39% decline(1)
-- One-time book loss of approximately $35 million, with a $17 million reduction to tangible capital(2)
"While Gibraltar has outperformed many of its South Florida peers, the market continues to experience economic stress with a long-term projected recovery. This sale enables BPFH to exit the Florida market while receiving fair value for our investment. We wish Gibraltar's CEO Steve Hayworth and his new private investors all the best for the future," Vaill added.
Gibraltar Private CEO Steve Hayworth will continue to serve as Gibraltar Private's CEO; bank personnel and management will also remain. The bank will continue to be headquartered in Coral Gables and retain its branch office in New York.
