Both Xenith Bank and Union Bank & Trust are FDIC insured institutions. As a result of the merger, any deposits you may have with Xenith
Bank will be combined with any deposits you may have from Union Bank & Trust. The combined balances will determine whether you have exceeded the FDIC insurance limit[, which is generally up to $250,000 per depositor]. There is a grace period, as
set forth below, which provides an opportunity to restructure accounts, if necessary, to ensure the accounts do not exceed the insurance threshold.
If you bank at both Xenith Bank and Union Bank & Trust, your deposits continue to be
insured separately until completion of the merger, and generally will be insured as set forth below:
|
|
|
Non-time
deposits
(for
example,
checking,
savings
and
MMDA
accounts)
acquired by Union Bank & Trust are separately
insured for six months after the date of the completion of the merger.
|
|
|
|
Time deposits
(for
example,
certificates
of
deposit)
acquired by Union Bank & Trust are separately insured until the earliest of the maturity date or six months after the date
of the completion of the merger, whichever occurs later, subject to the following rules:
|
|
|
|
Time deposits that mature within the first six months and are renewed for the same dollar amount (with or without accrued interest added to the principal amount) and for the same term as the original deposit are
separately insured until the first maturity date after the expiration of the
six-month
period.
|
|
|
|
Time deposits that mature within the first six months and are renewed on any other basis, or time deposits that mature within the first six months and are not renewed and thereby become regular savings or demand
deposits, are separately insured until the end of the
six-month
period.
