Looking beyond SVB and Signature Bank: Navigating future market uncertainty & disruption

BCLP is closely monitoring the aftermath of the Silicon Valley Bank and Signature Bank closures and their respective impacts on our clients. The situation is fluid and fast moving—with an eye towards the future and potential market disruption to follow, a team of BCLP's Finance Transactions partners lead a discussion to better prepare for developments stemming from the failure of these institutions. In this discussion, we covered:

• Uncertainty around failed bank loan assignments and asset sales and how this may work out for various parties over time
• Opportunities for acquisition of loans and loan pools (and how government loss share programs may impact those opportunities) and other assets owned by a failed bank
• Potential broader bank regulatory responses and points of focus
• Changes in corporate policy and behavior as result of these bank closures
• The potential effect of these closures upon intermediated payment providers
