Vol. 13 No. 8 Continental Developments Continue— Illinois Finance Committee • Paves W ay for Out-of-State Bid a 0 0 0 0 # # June 11,1984 Des Moines, Iowa OP O FFIC IA LS of Continental Bank of Chicago obtained a six T to four vote by the Illinois Senate Committee on Finance and Credit Regulations for Continental’s propo sal to allow the bank to be acquired by out-of-state banks. In recent days Continental has received a massive infusion of more than $5 billion of working capital from federal regula tors and a consortium of about 30 banks. Current Illinois law prohibits ac quisition by out of state banks. First National Bank of Chicago, which has expressed its interest in acquiring Continental Bank and merging it with First of Chicago, also appeared before the Illinois Se nate Committee on its proposal that basically would give First National the first right of refusal if a sale is to be made. First Chicago Corporation Chairman, Barry F. Sullivan, told the legislators personally of his hold ing company’s interest in a potential acquisition. Continental Bank General Coun sel, Richard S. Brennan, told the leg islators that First Chicago’s propo sal would have the effect of stopping any outside bids from people interested in acquiring the bank. Several banks, both domestic and foreign, have been listed in various news reports as being potential ac quirers of Continental Bank. Among them are Citicorp and Chemical New York Corporation, both of New York City. 30th Annual UMACC Conf.
