Deal rationale and strategic fit

  • Merger creates a premier West Coast community bank with $23bn in assets, a full footprint from San Diego to Seattle, and top-3 deposit share in California and Seattle markets.

  • No significant branch overlap and no expected branch closures, with expanded market share in key West Coast markets.

  • Ford Financial Fund's experience and alignment with public investors support long-term value creation.

  • Both banks share a commitment to community service and future growth as a public bank holding company.

excellent app, it gives me free access to company earnings calls and annual reports. I also love the convenience of calls being available offline so I can listen in whilst doing other things and even when internet or WiFi isn't available.

One of the very few apps you could call perfect. If something was to add to it, maybe the share price of the company when you search for it, but it's already excellent.
