TCF National Bank (TCF Bank) said that it has completed its integration with Chemical Bank following the closing of a previously announced $3.6bn all-stock merger between their parent firms TCF Financial and Chemical Financial.
With the integration over, all the banking centres of the enlarged banking group will now operate under the TCF Bank name while Chemical Bank’s brand has been retired. Nearly 200 banking centers across Michigan and Ohio that were operating as Chemical Bank prior to the merger closing were affected by the name change.
As per the terms of the merger deal announced in January 2019, TCF Financial’s shareholders were issued 0.5081 shares of Chemical Financial’s common stock for each share they held in the former. After the closing of the merger, the original shareholders of TCF Financial and Chemical Financial will have stakes of 54% and 46%, respectively in the combined bank holding company.
The merger of equals, which saw TCF Financial merge into Chemical Financial was closed earlier this month, thereby creating what is said to be the largest national bank holding company in Michigan.
As per the parties, the enlarged bank holding company will leverage the strengths of Chemical Bank’s community banking and wealth management capabilities along with TCF Bank’s huge deposit franchise and knowledge in wholesale lending.
