FEDERAL DEPOSIT INSURANCE CORPORATION


Determination of Insufficient Assets To Satisfy Claims Against 
Financial Institution in Receivership

AGENCY: Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC).

ACTION: Notice.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The FDIC has determined that insufficient assets exist in the 
receivership of Eurobank, San Juan, Puerto Rico, to make any 
distribution on general unsecured claims, and therefore such claims 
will recover nothing and have no value.

DATES: The FDIC made its determination on August 2, 2011.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: If you have questions regarding this 
notice, you may contact an FDIC Claims Agent at (904) 256-3925. Written 
correspondence may also be mailed to FDIC as Receiver of Eurobank, 
Attention: Claims Agent, 7777 Baymeadows Way West, Jacksonville, 
Florida 32256.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On April 30, 2010, Eurobank, San Juan, 
Puerto Rico, (FIN 10229) was closed by the Office of the 
Commissioner of Financial Institutions of the Commonwealth of Puerto 
Rico (``OCFI''), and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation 
(``FDIC'') was appointed as its receiver (``Receiver''). In complying 
with its statutory duty to resolve the institution in the method that 
is least costly to the deposit insurance fund, see 12 U.S.C. 
1823(c)(4), the FDIC facilitated a transaction with Oriental Bank and 
Trust, San Juan, Puerto Rico, to acquire the deposits and most of the 
assets of the failed institution.
    Section 11(d)(11)(A) of the FDI Act, 12 U.S.C. 1821(d)(11)(A), sets 
forth the order of priority for distribution of amounts realized from 
the liquidation or other resolution of an insured depository 
institution to pay claims. Under the statutory order of priority, 
administrative expenses and deposit liabilities must be paid in full 
before any distribution may be made to general unsecured creditors or 
any lower priority claims.
    As of May 31, 2011, the value of assets available for distribution 
by the Receiver, together with anticipated recoveries on claims against 
directors, officers, and other professionals was $742,676,348. As of 
the same date, administrative expenses and depositor liabilities 
equaled $1,466,183,675, exceeding available assets and potential 
recoveries by $723,507,327. Accordingly, the FDIC has determined that 
insufficient assets exist to make any distribution on general unsecured 
creditor claims (and any lower priority claims) and therefore all such 
claims, asserted or unasserted, will recover nothing and have no value.

    Dated: August 11, 2011.
Robert E. Feldman,
Executive Secretary.
