Flagstar Bancorp, Inc.
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)
Note 1—Basis of Presentation
The accompanying financial statements of Flagstar Bancorp, Inc. (“Flagstar,” or the “Company”), including its wholly owned principal subsidiary, Flagstar Bank, FSB (the “Bank”), have been prepared using GAAP for interim financial statements. Where we say “we,” “us,” “our,” the “Company,” “Bancorp” or “Flagstar,” we usually mean Flagstar Bancorp, Inc. However, in some cases, a reference to “we,” “us,” “our,” the “Company” or “Flagstar” will include the Bank.
These consolidated financial statements do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for a full year presentation and certain disclosures have been condensed or omitted in accordance with rules and regulations of the SEC. These interim financial statements are unaudited and include, in our opinion, all adjustments, consisting of only normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair statement of the results for the periods indicated, which are not necessarily indicative of results which may be expected for the full year. These consolidated financial statements and notes should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021, which is available on our website, flagstar.com, and on the SEC website at sec.gov.
On April 26, 2021, it was announced that New York Community Bancorp, Inc. (“NYCB”) and Flagstar had entered into a definitive merger agreement (the “Merger Agreement”) under which the two companies will combine in an all stock merger. Under the terms of the Merger Agreement, Flagstar shareholders will receive 4.0151 shares of NYCB common stock for each Flagstar share they own. The combined company expects to have over $85 billion in assets and operate nearly 400 traditional branches in nine states and over 80 loan production offices across a 28 state footprint. On August 4, 2021, Flagstar’s and NYCB’s shareholders each voted in their respective special meetings of shareholders to approve the proposed business combination. The transaction is subject to customary closing conditions, including regulatory approvals.
On April 26, 2022, NYCB and Flagstar entered into Amendment No. 1 (the “Amendment”) to the Merger Agreement. Under the Amendment, the parties have agreed to: extend the termination date of the Merger Agreement to October 31, 2022; change the structure of the merger of the subsidiary banks, so that Flagstar Bank, FSB will initially convert to a national bank charter and New York Community Bank will merge with and into the national bank, with the national bank as the surviving entity; and clarify that approvals of the FDIC and the New York State Department of Financial Services are no longer required but that the approval of the OCC will be required. Other than as expressly modified by the Amendment, the Merger Agreement, remains in full force and effect.
Completion of the transaction is subject to customary closing conditions, including receipt of regulatory approvals.
