Item 2. Acquisition or Disposition of Assets
| On March 15, 2002, BancWest Corporation (“BancWest”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of BNP Paribas, completed its acquisition of all the outstanding stock of United California Bank (“UCB”) from UFJ Bank Ltd. of Japan. On March 15, 2002, UCB had total assets of $10.1 billion, net loans of $8.5 billion, total deposits of $8.3 billion and a total of 115 branches. The preceding amounts do not include final purchase price accounting adjustments. The purchase price of approximately $2.4 billion was paid in cash and accounted for as a purchase. BNP Paribas funded BancWest’s acquisition of UCB by providing $1.6 billion of additional capital to BancWest and by lending it $800 million. UCB is expected to be merged with and into Bank of the West, a subsidiary of BancWest Corporation, in the second quarter of 2002. Branches of UCB are expected to be fully integrated into the Bank of the West branch network system by late 2002. |
