Bankers talk of uncertainty relating to regulatory reform, loan growth, asset quality, non-interest income, economic conditions, governmental fiscal policy–the list goes on. Yet despite this uncertainty, whole-bank and thrift M&A deal volume turned up in the second quarter of 2011 to 43, bringing the total volume for the first half to 76. There seems to be a greater willingness on the part of buyers to act decisively in the face of organic growth challenges, especially if the target fulfills a strategic goal. In addition, more sellers are realizing the importance of joining forces to create a larger pool of resources, motivated by the performance gap between larger institutions and community banks. These are just a sampling of topics we will discuss during this webinar to make sense of the changing community banking landscape and the opportunities these changes present.
Join our M&A expert to learn more about:
- Financial performance of banks in various asset size groupings
- Asset quality trends, impact of recent regulatory changes, an update on bank failures
- Recent merger and acquisition data
- Common deal structures that facilitate premium pricing
- Primary factors influencing bank transaction activity, prices
- What to expect in the second half of 2011 and 2012
