      Spekulanten sollten sich einmal regionale Us Kreditinstitute in den Focus holen. Viele haben noch mit Abschreibungen zu kämpfen, einige schreiben aber schon wieder Gewinne.

      Ein weiterer Favorit neben Cascade ist nun United Western UWBKdie vor kurzem noch auf All Time Low war (0,37 $) ist aber mehrmals davon abgeprallt.

      Mein erstes Kursziel 2,50 $:)

      Aber Achtung: Auch ein Totalverlust ist möglich

      Chartbild sieht noch verheerend aus. Zuvesichtlich machen die in letzter Zeit getätigten Insider Käufe. Heutiger Anstieg wird von relativ gutem Volumen begleitet.

      United Western Bancorp Inc. said Friday it will get an infusion of $103 million from various investors, including the former head of First Data Corp.

      The Denver-based bank holding company (NASDAQ: UWBK) owns United Western Bank. To cement the deal, United Western Bancorp must raise another $97 million, which it expects to do through a private placement.

      The definitive investment agreement calls for:

      • Affiliates of Lovell Minnick Partners LLC and Oak Hill Capital Management LLC to each buy 117.5 million shares of stock at 40 cents a share, for a combined $94 million.

      • Entities controlled by Ric Duques, the former chairman and CEO of First Data, will buy 22.5 million shares for $9 million.

      The investors also will receive, in aggregate, 25.75 million warrants to buy shares of common stock. The warrants can be exercised at 40 cents a share and have a 10-year term.

      United Western Bancorp’s stock was trading at 40 cents a share mid-day Friday. The company’s stock has fluctuated between 37 cents and $3.84 over the past year.

      Once the deals are completed, Lovell Minnick and Oak Hill Capital will each hold a 23.1 percent stake in United Western Bancorp, and Duques’ ownership will increase to 5 percent.

      Duques and United Western Bank already have a deal pending. The bank announced in June it has agreed to buy securities clearing firm Legent Clearing LLC for $13 million in cash and 2.4 million shares of stock. Legent Clearing is owned by Omaha-based Legent Group LLC, of which Duques is a controlling owner. The deal is expected to increase the bank’s deposits by an estimated $400 million.

      Before United Western Bancorp can collect from the investors, the company must complete its acquisition of Legent Clearing and receive approval from the Office of Thrift Supervision, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation and the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority. NASDAQ also must give the company the OK to issue the securities backing up United Western Bancorp’s side of the deal.

      Lovell Minnick and Oak Hill Capital will each be allowed to appoint a director and a non-voting observer to the board of directors of United Western Bancorp. As part of the Legent Clearing deal, Duques already is due to join the board in an advisory capacity.

      Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement

      See Item 2.03 of this Current Report on Form 8-K, which is incorporated by reference herein.



      Item 2.03 Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation Under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement of a Registrant

      United Western Bancorp, Inc. (the "Company") and Equi-Mor Holdings, Inc., a direct subsidiary of the Company (the "Pledgor"), entered into that certain Sixth Forbearance and Amendment Agreement (the "Sixth Forbearance Agreement") with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A.

      As previously reported by the Company on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on October 29, 2010, the Company entered into an investment agreement on October 28, 2010 (the "Investment Agreement") with Oak Hill Capital Partners III, L.P. and Oak Hill Capital Management Partners III, L.P.

Duques ("Duques" and, together with the Legent Group, the "Duques Anchor Investor") (each of the Oak Hill Anchor Investor, the Lovell Minnick Anchor Investor and the Duques Anchor Investor, an "Anchor Investor," and collectively, the "Anchor Investors"). Pursuant to the Investment Agreement, the Company will seek to raise in the aggregate at least $200,000,000 but not more than $205,000,000, and the Lead Anchor Investors will each purchase 117,500,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of the Company (the "Common Stock") for $0.40 per share, for a total investment of $94,000,000 (the "Lead Anchor Investment").

      In addition, the terms of the Sixth Forbearance Agreement provide that the Company will cause the proceeds of any Stated Capital Raise (as defined in the Sixth Forbearance Agreement and which includes the proceeds raised by the completion of the contemplated offering pursuant to the Investment Agreement described above) to be used, first and foremost, to pay off all the Liabilities (as defined in the Sixth Forbearance Agreement) the Company owes to JPMorgan under the Loan Documents, provided, however, that the Liabilities under the Loan Documents shall be deemed to be fully satisfied if: (A) on or before February 15, 2011, the Company pays to JPMorgan an amount from the proceeds of the Stated Capital Raise equal to the sum of: (i) $10,562,500, (ii) all accrued but unpaid interest due under the Loan Documents and (iii) all other fees, costs and expenses due under the Loan Documents ((i), (ii) and (iii) collectively, the "Capital Proceeds Payment"); and (B) no Forbearance Default (as defined in the Sixth Forbearance Agreement) occurs prior to receipt of the Capital Proceeds Payment. The payment by the Company of the Capital Proceeds Payment to JPMorgan is subject to the Company's prior receipt of the written non-objection of the OTS.

      The foregoing is only a summary of the material terms of the Sixth Forbearance Agreement and does not purport to be complete, and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Sixth Forbearance Agreement, a copy of which is attached to this Current Report on Form 8-K as Exhibit 10.1 and incorporated herein by reference.

      Interessanter Article, betrifft auch united western bancorp:

      Rumors are swirling that Legent Clearing LLC is about to be bought by private-equity investors — just months after a previous attempt to buy the firm failed.

      In June 2010, United Western Bancorp Inc. said that its subsidiary United Western Bank was buying Legent for $13 million. But in January, the Federal Deposit Insurance Co. closed the $2 billion bank after a long struggle by the bank to raise capital.

      Now, speculation that Legent has a buyer has some of the clearing firm's customers worried.

      “What makes me uneasy is that every couple of months, there are a new set of firms trying to buy them,” said one broker, who had heard about the potential acquisition and asked not to be identified. “It makes it hard for us to recruit.”

      Dave Jarvis, general counsel for Legent, declined to comment about a possible sale, beyond saying: “We are a private company, and if we have an announcement to make, we will.”

      InvestmentNews has been unable to identity the potential buyer. Still, if the rumors are true and the private-equity firm is financially strong, an acquisition would be good news for Legent and its customers, said Alex Montano, managing director of the corporate finance group at C.K. Cooper and Co., an investment bank that uses Legent.

      “The last buyer didn't exactly give me a warm and fuzzy feeling,” Mr. Montano said.

      According to InvestmentNews data, Legent ranked as the 14th largest clearing firm in the industry (See full chart here), with 80 broker-dealer clients.

      Four of those clients were, National Securities Corp., First Midwest Securities Inc., vFinance Investments Inc., MidAmerica Financial Services Inc., according to the April InvestmentNews independent broker-dealer survey. (View that chart here.)

      Given Legent's small size, it isn't surprising that the firm once again would be a target, said Peter Hoffmann, chief financial officer at Perrin Holden & Davenport Capital Corp., a firm that has used Legent for 15 years.

      “They are a small clearing firm, so you either get bought or you have to buy,” said Mr. Hoffmann, who said he hadn't heard the latest speculation. “If this rumor is true, it should be good for us because it means [Legent] won't go belly up.”

      But Mr. Jarvis dismissed concerns about Legent's financial situation, saying that because the clearing firm is small, it doesn't have to pay the kinds of infrastructure costs that some of its competitors do.
      “I don't think for a minute that we have a need to transact in anything,” he said.

      Ist eigentlich Legent Clearing als Wertpapier gelistet, oder wurde die Firma übernommen?
