Prospective Bidders Pre-Qualification Process
The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”), in its corporate capacity and in its capacity as receiver or conservator for failed financial institutions, from time to time may sell certain debt, equity, mortgage-related,
municipal and other securities (collectively, “Securities”), mortgage servicing portfolios, mortgage servicing platforms and related assets, loans, loan origination platforms and related assets, shared national credits (interests
in syndicated loans), credit card receivables, and interests in structured transactions (i.e., joint ventures, limited liability companies and other newly-formed entities) involving loans, notes, other evidences of indebtedness and collateral
property (collectively, with Securities, “Assets”).
This page describes the process by which Prospective Bidders may request to be prequalified to bid to participate in certain proposed Asset sales and to have their names included on a list of potential bidders for proposed Asset sales. Pre-qualification does not necessarily qualify a Prospective Bidder to participate in all Asset sales, and the FDIC reserves the right to require any Prospective Bidder to meet additional or different qualification criteria for any particular Asset sale at the time of the particular sale, and to complete and submit transaction specific qualification requests and other bidder qualification materials as well as confidentiality agreements, financial and other information.
Prospective Bidders wishing to become pre-qualified should complete the Pre-Qualification Request (see below and Appendix 1 - PDF hereto), the Purchaser Eligibility Certification (see below and Appendix 2 - PDF hereto), and the enclosed Contact Information Form (see below and Appendix 3 - PDF hereto), and deliver the completed forms as follows:
