Legacy Bank, Scottsdale, Arizona, was closed today by the Arizona Department of Financial Institutions, which appointed the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) as receiver. To protect the depositors, the FDIC entered into a purchase and assumption agreement with Enterprise Bank & Trust, St. Louis, Missouri, to assume all of the deposits of Legacy Bank.

The two branches of Legacy Bank will reopen on Monday as branches of Enterprise Bank & Trust. Depositors of Legacy Bank will automatically become depositors of Enterprise Bank & Trust. Deposits will continue to be insured by the FDIC, so there is no need for customers to change their banking relationship in order to retain their deposit insurance coverage up to applicable limits. Customers of Legacy Bank should continue to use their existing branch until they receive notice from Enterprise Bank & Trust that it has completed systems changes to allow other Enterprise Bank & Trust branches to process their accounts as well.

This evening and over the weekend, depositors of Legacy Bank can access their money by writing checks or using ATM or debit cards. Checks drawn on the bank will continue to be processed. Loan customers should continue to make their payments as usual.

As of September 30, 2010, Legacy Bank had approximately $150.6 million in total assets and $125.9 million in total deposits. Enterprise Bank & Trust will pay the FDIC a premium of 1.0 percent to assume all of the deposits of Legacy Bank. In addition to assuming all of the deposits of the failed bank, Enterprise Bank & Trust agreed to purchase essentially all of the assets.

The FDIC and Enterprise Bank & Trust entered into a loss-share transaction on $119.8 million of Legacy Bank's assets. Enterprise Bank & Trust will share in the losses on the asset pools covered under the loss-share agreement. The loss-share transaction is projected to maximize returns on the assets covered by keeping them in the private sector. The transaction also is expected to minimize disruptions for loan customers. For more information on loss share, please visit: http://www.fdic.gov/bank/individual/failed/lossshare/index.html.

Customers who have questions about today's transaction can call the FDIC toll-free at 1-800-405-8357. The phone number will be operational this evening until 9:00 p.m., Mountain Standard Time (MST); on Saturday from 9:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m., MST; on Sunday from noon to 6:00 p.m., MST; and thereafter from 8:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m., MST. Interested parties also can visit the FDIC's Web site at http://www.fdic.gov/bank/individual/failed/legacybank.html.

The FDIC estimates that the cost to the Deposit Insurance Fund (DIF) will be $27.9 million. Compared to other alternatives, Enterprise Bank & Trust's acquisition was the least costly resolution for the FDIC's DIF. Legacy Bank is the second FDIC-insured institution to fail in the nation this year, and the first in Arizona. The last FDIC-insured institution closed in the state was Copper Star Bank, Scottsdale, on November 12, 2010.
