    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE ATR Tuesday, December 9, 1997 (202) 616-2765 TDD (202) 514-1888 JUSTICE DEPARTMENT REACHES RECORD AGREEMENT WITH NATIONSBANK $4.1 BILLION DIVESTITURE LARGEST EVER IN A SINGLE STATE WASHINGTON, D.C. -- Assistant Attorney General Joel I. Klein announced today that the Justice Department has cleared the proposed merger of NationsBank Corporation with Barnett Banks. NationsBank agreed to divest approximately 124 branch offices with total deposits of approximately $4.1 billion. The divestiture becomes the largest bank divestiture ever in a single state and the second largest overall. "With this historic divestiture, the citizens of Florida will continue to reap the benefits of competition," stated Klein, who runs the Department’s Antitrust Division. "This procompetitive result should help to assure that Floridians will receive the lowest rates on loans and the best service for their banking needs." The Antitrust Division’s investigation was conducted jointly with the Florida Attorney General’s Office. The divestitures will occur in 15 areas of Florida: Beverly Hills, Brevard, Columbia, Daytona Beach, Fort Myers, Key Largo, Key West, Marathon, Orlando, Naples, Punta Gorda, Sarasota, Suwannee, Tampa and West Palm Beach. In addition to the divestitures, NationsBank has agreed not to take steps to preclude other financial institutions from leasing or purchasing any bank branches that it may close due to consolidation resulting from this merger. Subject to regulatory approvals, the branches and associated loans and deposits that NationsBank will divest will be sold to one or more competitively suitable buyers. The proposed merger of NationsBank and Barnett Banks is subject to the approval of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System.

  • Case Study of the Bank of America and Merrill Lynch Merger
    CASE STUDY OF THE MERGER BETWEEN BANK OF AMERICA AND MERRILL LYNCH Robert J. Rhee† The financial crisis of 2008 has posed innumerable problems in law, policy, and economics. A key event in the history of the financial crisis was Bank of America‟s acquisition of Merrill Lynch. Along with the fire sale of Bear Stearns and the bankruptcy of Lehman Brothers, the rescue of Merrill Lynch confirmed the worst fears about the financial crisis. Before this acquisition, Bank of America had long desired a top tier investment banking business, and Merrill Lynch represented a strategic opportunity to acquire a troubled but premier franchise of significant scale.1 As the financial markets continued to unravel after execution of the merger agreement, this golden opportunity turned into a highly risky gamble. Merrill Lynch was losing money at an astonishing rate, an event sufficient for Bank of America to consider seriously invoking the merger agreement‟s material adverse change clause. 2 The deal ultimately closed, but only after the government threatened to fire Bank of America‟s management and board if the company attempted to terminate the deal. The government took this coercive action to save the financial system from complete collapse. The harm to the financial system from a broken deal, officials feared, would have been unthinkable. The board‟s motivation is less clear. Like many classic corporate law cases, the factors influencing the board and management were complex. This case study examines these complexities, which raise important, unresolved issues in corporate governance and management. In 2008, three major investment banks—Bear Stearns, Lehman Brothers, and Merrill Lynch—collapsed or were acquired under distress, and these events played a large part in triggering the global financial crisis.3 In March, Bear Stearns † Associate Professor of Law, University of Maryland School of Law; J.D., The George Washington University; M.B.A., University of Pennsylvania (Wharton); B.A., University of Chicago.
