Hawkeye Plans to Sell 17 Banks
BR IE F announcement was
A made
last week by Paul D. Dun­

lap, president and chairman of
Hawkeye B ancorporation, Des
Moines, that 17 of the holding com­
pany’s 36 banks would be sold off to
reduce Hawkeye’s approximately
$100 million of debt.
Acknowledging that “ It’s very
painful to downsize a company,”
Mr. Dunlap’s announcement also
said Hawkeye would sell its mort­
gage banking and insurance units
and four other non-banking subsi­
diaries.
The proposal has not been formal­
ly reviewed by Hawkeye’s creditors.
They include Continental Bank of
Chicago, First Bank System and
Norwest Corporation of Minneapo­
lis, Bankers Trust Company of Des
M oines, Credit Suisse, Merrill
Lynch and several-insurance compa­
nies.
Mr. Dunlap said “ an accord with
respect to a number of material is­
sues has been reached with most of
(Hawkeye’s) institutional lenders. A
final accord with such lenders is sub­
ject to resolution of other material
issues, execution of definitive docu­
ments and regulatory approval. No
definitive discussions have been had
with preferred stockholders. De­
pending on certain factors, a meet­
ing of common stockholders may be
required.”
Mr. Dunlap and Robert W. Mur­

ray, executive vice president and
treasurer, said late last week that
“ considerable activity has already
been generated” since the announce­
ment earlier in the week of the plan­
ned sale of the 17 banks. This re­
sponse came from officers and direc­
tors of many of the 17 banks, as well
as from a number of interested bank­
ers and other investors outside the
Hawkeye family. Correspondent
bank departments of major Iowa
banks reported last week they had a
number of calls from individuals
wishing to discuss the possibility of
such a purchase and to determine if
bank stock loans would be available.
Mr. Dunlap said first preference
would be given to officers and direc­
tors of the local banks so the banks
could continue as locally owned in­
stitutions by those people most fa­
miliar with them, and who have
worked for some years to serve thenrespective communities.
Mr. Dunlap’s announcement said
further:
“ Proceeds will be used to retire
$22.5 million of installment notes
without interest, all due by June 30,
1988. Any excess proceeds will be
applied to other debt. Installment
payments on these notes are due $10
million by December 31, 1986; $5
million by June 30, 1987; $5 million
by December 31, 1987 and $2.5 mil­
lion by June 30,1988. Term notes of
$15 million will be issued at prime

June 30,1986
rate, with a 12% cap, payable in­
terest only for five years, renewable
if no default exists for an additional
five years with principal amortized
during 1991 through 1996. Default
in payment of the installment notes
or term notes, or other loan cove­
nants, will accelerate all debt obliga­
tions. Substantially, all the com­
pany’s remaining assets will be
pledged to secure the obligations.
“ The creditors will receive $30
million of subordinated capital
notes, bearing prime interest rates
with a 12% cap and due in three
equal payments of $10 million each
on December 31, 1989, 1991 and
1993. A t Hawkeye’s option, pay­
ment of the first year’s interest can
be paid by delivery of an additional
note due on June 30, 1989. Addi­
tional future interest can be paid by
delivery of Hawkeye shares at then
market price, at Hawkeye’s option.
If payment is not made on the prin­
cipal of the capital notes, the credi­
tors may elect to receive 25% of the
common stock on a fully diluted
basis at the time of the first due
date, 1989, and an additional 15% at
each of the second and third pay­
ments in 1991 and 1993.”
Total assets of Hawkeye Bancorporation at 1985 year-end, as re­
ported in the N o r t h w e s t e r n
B a n k e r ’ s 1986 Iowa Bank Direc­
tory, were $1,820,532,000. At the
end of May, those assets were ap­
proximately $1.65 billion, with most
of the decrease resulting from plan-

ned shrinkage, as many banks have
done. The 17 banks now up for sale
had year-end book value of approxi­
mately $50 million, and total assets
o f $556,986,000, according to
figures in the Iowa Bank Directory,
as furnished by the individual
banks.
As noted earlier by Mr. Dunlap,
proceeds of the sale of the 17 banks,
with book value of $50 million,
would be applied to the debt out­
lined above. If all 17 banks are sold,
those proceeds would retire the
$22.5 million of installment notes
and all or a major share of the $30
million in capital notes. The remain­
ing debt, based on such assumption,
would be between $15 and $25 mil­
lion, with present creditors holding
2.6 million shares, or 25%, of Hawk-

eye’s stock. That eventuality is not a
foregone conclusion, however, since
creditors would be accepting Hawkeye stock at $12.50 per share for
$32.5 million of current debt. A t the
present market value of Hawkeye
stock at about $3.25 per share, the
2.6 million shares are valued at $8,
450,000, a difference of $24 million.
Creditors have not yet commented
on the latest Hawkeye proposal.
Mr. Dunlap stated, “ We hope
counsel will be able to work out the
remaining issues quickly. We are
very pleased with the agreements
which we have reached so far, which
will reduce debt and spread the re­
mainder over a term of ten years.
The ‘new’ Hawkeye will have over
$1 billion of assets with improved
potential for earnings.”
He concluded his statement by
thanking Hawkeye employees, di­
rectors and customers for their
understanding, patience and loyalty
during these difficult times. “ The re­
ward of our hard work is a ‘new’
Hawkeye Bancorporation, a healthy
company ready to return to the task
of b u ild in g a b e tte r Iowa.”
