Square Mile Wins Silverton Asset Bid

Square Mile Capital Management LLC has won the bidding for a portion of the assets the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. acquired when it seized Atlanta's Silverton Bank a year ago.

The FDIC on Tuesday said Square Mile is to buy a 40% stake in a limited liability company the agency created to hold the failed bank's assets after its seizure. The FDIC plans to retain the remaining assets.

Square Mile will be buying a pool of performing loan assets with an unpaid principal balance totaling $421 million, the FDIC said.

The agency expects the deal to close in mid-May.
