In Brief: Two Conn. Branches Changing Hands

Norwalk Savings Society has agreed to sell two branches to Savings Bank of Danbury with $45 million in deposits for a 7.5% premium, or $3.4 million.

No loans or investment securities are being sold by Norwalk. All Norwalk employees at the two branches would be retained by Danbury, which currently has three branches.

The transaction, expected by late summer, is subject to approval by state and federal regulators.

With the assumption of deposits from the failed Fairfield First Bank and Trust Co., which was closed by regulators July 12, Norwalk would be left with about $600 million in assets after the transaction. Danbury would increase its size to $300 million in assets.
