Item 8.01. Other Events.
On May 7, 2010, City National Corporation issued a press release announcing that its wholly-owned subsidiary, City National Bank, has assumed substantially all deposits and certain assets and liabilities of 1st Pacific Bank of California, a California state-chartered bank headquartered in San Diego, California under the terms of a Purchase and Assumption Agreement with the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. A copy of the press release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.
City National expects the acquisition to be modestly accretive to earnings per share in 2010. Following a 22 percent fair market value adjustment, the loan balances acquired from 1st Pacific Bank are expected to total approximately $208 million. This loan portfolio is expected to yield approximately 6.5 percent. City National also will record an FDIC receivable of approximately $29 million that reflects the current value of the expected net cash reimbursement for loan losses. The receivable is expected to yield approximately 4 percent.
