This McIntosh is Not So Sweet

14th ranked McIntosh State Bank of Jackson, Georgia, was finally closed today. The approximately $339.9 million bank in total assets was acquired by Hamilton State Bank (6627th). Hamilton State Bank entered into a loss-share transaction with the FDIC on $242.1 million of the former McIntosh State Bank's assets. Hamilton previously purchased the Bartow County Bank in April of this year. The FDIC estimates costs to the Deposit Insurance Fund (DIF) of about $80.0 million.

34th ranked First Commercial Bank of Tampa Bay, Florida, was also closed today. The nearly $100 million bank by assets was acquired by Stonegate Bank (5519th) of Fort Lauderdale, Florida. The failed bank acquisition was the first for Stonegate and did not include any form of loss-sharing. The FDIC estimates that the cost to the DIF will be $28.5 million.
