Note 3: These "target" institutions were either closed or in danger of being closed. The respective "applicant" institutions were the competitive bidding winners to purchase certain assets of and assume the liability to pay certain deposits of the "target". The FDIC's Board of Directors found that immediate action was necessary and waived the publication of notice and solicitation of reports on the competitive factors involved. Thus, there is no "Department of Justice Reply Date," nor an "application number."

** Washington Mutual Bank, FSB, Park City, UT was a subsidiary of Washington Mutual Bank, Henderson, NV. Therefore, "Assets Acquired" from Washington Mutual Bank, Henderson, NV represents the consolidated total assets purchased by JPMorgan Chase Bank, NA.
