Item 8.01   Other Events.

 

On June 4, 2013, Taylor Capital Group, Inc. (the “Company”) issued a press release announcing that its wholly owned subsidiary, Cole Taylor Bank (the “Bank”), will be establishing its own residential mortgage servicing platform in Wilmington, Ohio through its Cole Taylor Mortgage division (“CTM”).  As a part of this initiative, the Bank purchased mortgage servicing rights relating to approximately 4,600 loans, as well as certain office space, furniture and equipment, from Liberty Savings Bank, FSB (“Liberty”).

 

In addition, CTM has recruited and hired an experienced platform manager and expects to hire substantially all of the approximately 50 Liberty loan servicing employees during the third quarter of 2013.  CTM currently services its own mortgage loans and mortgage loans held by various investors through a third party mortgage servicer, and expects to continue that relationship through at least early 2014.  The mortgage loans related to the servicing rights purchased from Liberty are expected to continue to be serviced by Liberty’s employees until the assimilation of those employees by CTM is complete.

 

A copy of the Company’s press release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1.
