On Monday, First Citizens BancShares Inc. (FCNCA.O) said it would buy Silicon Valley Bank’s (SIVB.O) deposits, loans, and other assets from the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC).
According to a separate statement, the purchase gave the FDIC equity appreciation rights in First Citizens BancShares stock worth up to $500 million.

First–Citizens Bank & Trust Company will acquire SVB’s $110 billion assets, $56 billion deposits, and $72 billion loans.
