PNC will buy the Royal Bank of Canada’s US retail banking unit for $3.45bn in a deal that will expand the US bank’s presence in the south.
The acquisition of RBC Bank’s 420 branches across the south-eastern US will make Pittsburgh-based PNC the country’s fifth-largest bank by branches, with 2,870. The deal is valued at a $112m discount to RBC’s tangible book value.
“The addition of RBC Bank provides PNC a great opportunity to enter attractive southeast markets in a way that will create value for our shareholders,” said James Rohr, PNC chief executive, in a statement on Monday.
PNC expects the deal to be accretive to earnings by the end of 2013. PNC will take on about $19bn in deposits and $16bn in loans. Merger and integration costs are expected to be about $322m.
