HSBC Holdings Plc, the new owner of Silicon Valley Bank’s UK unit, is planning
to inject ￡2 billion ($2.4 billion) of liquidity into the division.
Chief Executive Officer Noel Quinn and Ian Stuart, the head of HSBC UK, told Lon
don tech investors on a call Monday that the bank would commit billions of pound
s to ensure that business-as-usual continued at SVB UK.
A spokesperson for the bank confirmed the amount.
HSBC’s UK-based ring-fenced subsidiary bought the unit for ￡1 on Monday, accor
ding to a statement. It said the deal will be funded from existing resources.
Quinn described the acquisition as making “strategic sense” and would improve
the bank’s standing in the technology and life-sciences sectors.

SBV was a critical lender and service provider to a range of tech companies in b
oth the US and UK.
Quinn and Stuart indicated on the call that there wouldn’t be major changes to
how SVB UK is run, according to Suzanne Ashman, general partner at LocalGlobe, a
London-based venture investment firm. “We were hugely reassured,” she said.
“They don’t want to lose the DNA of what they bought.”
The bank didn’t clarify whether it would run its new acquisition as a standalon
e division or keep the SVB brand. The unit had loans of around ￡5.5 billion ($6
.7 billion) and deposits of around ￡6.7 billion as of March 10, according to HS
BC’s statement.
心得/评论：
汇丰预计注入20亿英镑流动资产到以SVB UK，这家以象征性1英镑收购的银行
所以并不是板友说的，有1英镑就有能力买下啦
而目前汇丰也尚未决定是否继续保留SVB UK的实体来成为其子公司。
除此之外，本次收购更受到英国政府“豁免”围栏政策的限制
看来英国对目前金融局面的态度，比美国还积极，连规则都可以选择直接打破
