Newtek Receives Approval from the Federal Reserve to Become a Bank Holding Company

BOCA RATON, Fla., Nov. 21, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Newtek Business Services Corp. (NASDAQ: NEWT) (“Newtek”) today announced that it has received approval from the Federal Reserve to become a bank holding company and a financial holding company by acquiring the National Bank of New York City (“NBNYC”). The pending acquisition of NBNYC remains subject to the approval of the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (“OCC”), which approval is currently anticipated in the coming weeks. The approval of the Federal Reserve is conditioned on the representations and commitments made by Newtek in connection with its applications, including the discontinuance of Newtek’s election to be regulated under the Investment Company Act of 1940 and to divest activities of certain of Newtek’s technology portfolio companies within two years of becoming a bank holding company.

Barry Sloane, Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer said, “We are thrilled to have received the approval of the Federal Reserve to become a bank holding company and a financial holding company upon the close of the acquisition of NBNYC. While we await and anticipate approval from the OCC to acquire NBNYC, which we are hopeful to obtain shortly, we will continue to prepare and anticipate closing the acquisition in January 2023. Once we receive the remaining regulatory approval, we anticipate providing certain guidance on forecasted earnings as a bank holding company.”

Mr. Sloane continued, “We would like to thank the staffs of the Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta, the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System and the OCC for their work and efforts on our applications seeking approval to acquire NBNYC and become a bank holding company. We look forward to our new role in the economy as a financial holding company and to further establish our corporate brand as NewtekOne® -- the One Solution for All Your Business Needs®, the one company that makes you more successful, the one company that gives you banking relationships and analytics to run your business as well as enhanced transactional capability.”
