Historical Stock Chart
From Jun 2019 to Jun 2024
AmSouth Bancorporation (NYSE: ASO) announced today that it has reached
an agreement with the Department of Justice to sell 52 branches located
in Alabama, Mississippi and Tennessee with deposits totaling
approximately $2.7 billion. The agreement resolves antitrust concerns
raised by the Department of Justice after AmSouth and Regions Financial
Corp. announced plans to merge.
“We are dedicated to selling these branches to
companies that share our commitment to our associates, our customers,
and our communities,” said Dowd Ritter, AmSouth’s
chairman, president and chief executive officer. “We
would expect the purchasers to offer positions to the associates in
these branches, and we will work hard to ensure that our customers and
associates experience a flawless transition.”
The divestiture is required by the Department of Justice to ensure that
competition remains strong in certain areas where the companies are
combining. The divestitures will include deposits, loans and the related
premises and equipment. After buyers are identified, customers will
receive information about the transition process, which is expected to
occur in the first or second quarters of 2007. Customers of the affected
branches will be notified but do not need to do anything at this time.
Sale of the branches will be contingent on the completion of the
proposed merger between AmSouth and Regions.

Questions and answers about divestiture
Q: What is divestiture?
A: When banks merge, the Department of Justice and the Federal Reserve
Board sometimes require the banks to sell, or divest, branches and
deposits in some markets to resolve antitrust concerns. This process
keeps the merged bank from gaining an unfair advantage and ensures the
market remains competitive.
Q: How were branches selected for divestiture?
A: The Department of Justice and the Federal Reserve made the decisions
on which branches must be divested or sold. The divestiture includes
deposits, loans and fixed assets, such as premises and equipment.
Q: What does this mean for the customer?
A: Customers will receive the same great service from the same great
bankers they have had in the past. AmSouth and the purchaser will work
to ensure the transition is as smooth as possible. Signs and accounts
will not change until the spring or summer of 2007. When the time comes
for the actual transfer to occur, the customer accounts will be
transferred to the new owner of the branch.
Q: What does this mean for the associates at these branches?
A: Right now, it’s business as usual and there
will be no immediate changes. Although buyers have not been identified,
we would expect them to offer positions to the associates in these
branches because that is the best way to ensure customers continue to
receive excellent service. We will work hard to ensure that the
customers and associates in these branches experience a flawless
transition.
