Item 8.01. Other Events.
On May 28, 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 Sun West Bank, a state-chartered bank headquartered in Las Vegas, Nevada, 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 accretive to earnings per share in 2010. Following a 47-percent fair market value adjustment, the loan balances acquired from Sun West Bank are expected to total approximately $134 million. This loan portfolio is expected to yield approximately 7.0 percent. City National also will record an FDIC receivable of approximately $101 million that reflects the current value of the expected net cash reimbursement for loan and other real estate losses. The receivable is expected to yield approximately 4 percent. City National expects the acquisition to add upfront bargain purchase income of approximately $25 million in the second quarter of 2010.
