On January 28, 2011, BankAtlantic, the wholly owned savings bank subsidiary of BankAtlantic Bancorp, Inc., entered into an agreement for the sale of its Tampa – St. Petersburg franchise to PNC Bank, N.A., part of The PNC Financial Services Group Inc. BankAtlantic had previously announced on August 4, 2010 that it intended to concentrate its efforts in South Florida, its core market, and was beginning to seek buyers for its Tampa operations.
Under the agreement, BankAtlantic agreed to sell its 19 branches and 2 related facilities in the Tampa – St. Petersburg area and the associated deposits (approximately $350 million), to PNC. PNC has agreed to pay i) a 10% premium for the deposits assumed by PNC in the transaction plus ii) the net book value of the acquired real estate and fixed assets associated with the branches and facilities. PNC has agreed to offer employment to BankAtlantic’s employees at the purchased branches and facilities, subject to PNC’s employee screening requirements. No loans are being acquired in connection with the transaction. The transaction is anticipated to close during June 2011 and is subject to regulatory approvals and other customary terms and conditions.
Upon consummation of the transaction, BankAtlantic will have 79 branches in Southeast Florida.
The foregoing summary of the transaction is qualified in its entirety by reference to the purchase and assumption agreement for the transaction, a copy of which is filed herewith as Exhibit 99.2 and is incorporated in this Item 1.01 by reference.
