All insured, non-brokered deposit accounts have been transferred to Nevada State Bank, Las Vegas, NV and are immediately available. Nevada State Bank agreed to purchase the insured deposits for a premium of 1.3 percent. Nevada State entered into a separate agreement to sell the Arizona branches of Silver State Bank to its affiliate, National Bank of Arizona. Former Silver State Bank locations reopened as branches of Nevada State Bank in Nevada, and as branches of National Bank of Arizona in Arizona. Nevada State Bank

Silver State Bank also had approximately $700 million in brokered deposits that are not part of the purchase transaction. The FDIC will pay the brokers directly for the amount of their insured funds. In addition to assuming insured deposits, Nevada State Bank purchased a small amount of assets, comprised of cash and securities. The FDIC will retain the remaining assets for later disposition. The FDIC estimates that the cost to the Deposit Insurance Fund is between $450 and $550 million.

Creditor Claims: Claims
against failed financial institutions occur when bills sent to the
institution remain unpaid at the time of failure. Shortly after the
failure, the FDIC sends notices directly to all known service providers to
explain the claim filing process. In accordance with Federal law, allowed claims will be paid, after administrative expenses, in the following order of priority: Depositors, General Unsecured Creditors, Subordinated Debt and Stockholders. Note: there are time limits for filing a claim, as specified in the notice.

Unclaimed FDIC Insured Deposits |
|
Note: There are time limits on claims of FDIC-insured bank accounts, CDs and safe deposit boxes ... |
| If an
insured depositor fails to make a claim an insured or transferred deposit
within 18 months after the FDIC initiates the payment of insured deposits,
the transferee institution must refund the deposit to the FDIC, and all
rights of the depositor against the transferee institution are barred. The FDIC then remits the insured deposit to the custody of the unclaimed property administrator in the account owner's home state, unless that state declines to accept custody. Upon delivery, the FDIC is deemed to have made payment to the depositor, and all rights of the depositor against the FDIC are barred. Most states allow claims in perpetuity, but there's a reversion clause. If a depositor does not claim the deposit delivered to the custody of the State within 10 years of the date of delivery, the deposit must then immediately be refunded to FDIC, and all rights of the depositor against the state are barred. It's important to note that If a state declines to accept custody of the deposit - which they sometimes do - the depositor must claim the funds from the FDIC before the receivership is terminated, or all rights of the depositor with respect to the deposit are barred. Dividends for credits arising from uninsured portions of a deposit may, however, be claimed after the receivership is terminated if a dividend check was returned by the post office for a bad address. Be aware that due to the number of mergers and acquisitions in the banking industry over the years, it is possible you or a deceased family member might well have an account at a failed bank and not know it. Additionally, unclaimed safe deposit boxes at closed branches may be drilled and the contents sold at auction just weeks after closing, so prompt action is advised.
