- Startups with loans from Silicon Valley Bank are required to keep all or a portion of their cash with the lender, breaching the covenants could lead to default.
- SVB has asked clients that pulled money during last week’s bank run to get in touch to work out a solution.
- The bank could be recapitalized as a standalone entity, bought by another financial institution or non-bank entity or wound down.
- Firms including Apollo Global Management, Ares Management Corp., Blackstone, Carlyle Group, and KKR are among those looking to buy pieces of SVB.
- Companies that banked with SVB are in limbo as they wait to see how the bank transforms in the wake of the regulatory takeover.
