First Citizens (NYSE:FCNCA) stock is trending and soaring more than 40% today on news that the FDIC has reached a deal with the bank to buy assets from SVB Financial. SVB, a California-based bank, was closed earlier this month after many depositors rushed to withdraw their money from it. That bank run resulted in the FDIC stepping in and temporarily taking over SVB.

First Citizens’ Deal With the FDIC

First Citizens will obtain SVB’s “deposits, loans and branches,” The Wall Street Journal reported. First Citizens bought “about $72 billion of SVB’s loans at a discount of $16.5 billion,” the newspaper added. Further, the FDIC will receive part of the gains on a portion of the commercial loans and compensate FCNCA for any losses on them.

Additionally, under the deal, the FDIC may receive up to $500 million based on the appreciation of FCNCA stock.
