The listing of US-based Silicon Valley Bank Financial (SIVB.US) has been halted following a decision by California regulator FDIC to suspend its operations. This is the first such acquisition by the FDIC this year.
SVB was the 18th largest bank in the U.S., with $212 billion in assets of which $120 billion were securities of various types. Losses from its bond portfolio amounted to nearly $16 billion at a time when the bank's total equity was $15.8 billion.
