About Western Liberty Bancorp
Western Liberty Bancorp intends to operate as a "new" Nevada financial institution bank holding company upon receiving regulatory approvals and consummating acquisitions in the banking sector. The company currently has an agreement to purchase Service1st Bank of Nevada. The consummation of the acquisition of Service1st Bank is subject to such conditions as are customary for an acquisition of its type, including without limitation, obtaining all applicable governmental and other consents and approvals. The company expects to conduct operations through its wholly-owned banking subsidiary, Service1st Bank, post-acquisition. Western Liberty expects to provide a full range of traditional community banking services focusing on core commercial business in the form of commercial real estate lending, small business lending, consumer loans and a broad range of commercial and consumer depository products. In addition, Western Liberty Bancorp intends to use cash on hand to facilitate additional acquisitions and to fund prudent loan portfolio and deposit base growth.
