Branch Breakup
Definition: A resolution strategy that provides bidders with the choice of bidding on the entire franchise or on individual or groups of branches of the failing institution. Marketing failing institutions on both a whole franchise and a branch breakup basis can expand the universe of potential buyers and may result in better bids in the aggregate. In branch breakup transactions, prospective acquirers are required to submit bids on both the "all deposits" and "insured deposits" options except for bids on the entire franchise. The branch breakup resolution strategy was developed by the RTC to allow smaller institutions to participate in the resolution process and to increase competition among the bidders.
