Resource #1: Private Equity Firms Bidding for Failing Minnesota Banks
(8.17.2009) Minnesota's strapped community banks have been turning to their existing shareholders to pony up more money to weather the economic maelstrom -- a sort of pass-the-hat strategy, as one industry player said. But now outside investors, including wealthy individuals, private equity firms and investment groups, are buying in.
The nascent interest in local banks comes after national mega-deals to rescue insolvent banks earlier this year. Private equity groups bought Miami's BankUnited Financial Corp. in May, and Pasadena, Calif.-based IndyMac Bancorp in January, after the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. (FDIC), struggling with a wave of bank failures, opened the door last fall for nonbank buyers to bid for the failed banks.
That pattern may soon change. Private investors view the bank industry as undervalued now, Grandstrand said.
She said she's handling a half-dozen equity deals where outside private investors -- not existing bank shareholders -- are taking minority or controlling stakes in local community banks and, in at least one deal, are planning to buy the bank outright. Grandstrand won't name names, but she said the deals range from $200,000 to $25 million and involve local and out-of-town investors.
