Treasury agreed to acquire warrants convertible into a #.###% stake, or #.### mil common shares, in Associated Banc-Corp, a bank holding company, for $##.## per share, or a total value of $##.## mil, in a privately negotiated transaction. The transaction was part of the Troubled Asset Relief Program, in which the US Treasury announced that it would invest up to $### bil in senior preferred equity in qualifying US controlled banks, savings associations, and certain bank and savings and loan holding companies. Under the terms of the plan, the senior non-voting, non-convertible preferred shares will pay a #% dividend for the first five years and a #% dividend thereafter and the US Treasury will receive the right to purchase common stock equal to ##% of its preferred equity investment in each firm in the form of common share purchase warrants.</description><pubDate>25 Nov 2008 04:19:35
