Item 7.01.

Regulation FD Disclosure.

As previously reported, on March 17, 2023, SVB Financial Group (the “Company”) filed a voluntary petition in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York (the “Bankruptcy Court”) for relief under the provisions of Chapter 11 of Title 11 of the United States Code (the “Bankruptcy Code”). The Company’s case is administered under the caption In re SVB Financial Group, Case No: 23-10367 (the “Chapter 11 Case”). The Company is continuing to operate its remaining businesses, including SVB Capital, its investment advisory business which sponsors and advises private venture capital and credit funds, as a debtor in possession under the jurisdiction of the Bankruptcy Court and in accordance with the applicable provisions of the Bankruptcy Code and orders of the Bankruptcy Court.

Documents filed on the docket of and other information related to the Chapter 11 Case are available free of charge online at https://restructuring.ra.kroll.com/SVBFG/. Documents and other information available on such website are not part of this Current Report on Form 8-K (this “Form 8-K”) and shall not be deemed incorporated by reference in this Form 8-K. The Company has included the website address in this Form 8-K as an inactive textual reference only.

On August 31, 2023, the Company filed with the Bankruptcy Court its monthly operating report for the period beginning July 1, 2023 and ending July 31, 2023 (the “Monthly Operating Report”). The Monthly Operating Report is attached hereto, as Exhibit 99.1, and is incorporated herein by reference. The information set forth in Item 7.01 of this Form 8-K will not be deemed an admission as to the materiality of any information required to be disclosed solely by Regulation FD. The Monthly Operating Report and other filings with the Bankruptcy Court related to the Chapter 11 Case are available electronically at https://restructuring.ra.kroll.com/SVBFG/. Documents and other information available on such website are not part of this Form 8-K and shall not be deemed incorporated by reference in this Form 8-K. The Company has included the website address in this Form 8-K as an inactive textual reference only.

The information contained in this Item 7.01 is being “furnished” and shall not be deemed to be “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section, and shall not be deemed to be incorporated by reference into any of the Company’s filings under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), or the Exchange Act, whether made before or after the date hereof and regardless of any general incorporation language in such filings, except to the extent expressly set forth by specific reference in such a filing.

Cautionary Statement Regarding the Monthly Operating Report

The Company cautions investors and potential investors not to place undue reliance upon the information contained in the Monthly Operating Report, which was not prepared for the purpose of providing the basis for an investment decision relating to any of the securities of the Company. The Monthly Operating Report is limited in scope, covers a limited time period and has been prepared solely for the purpose of complying with the monthly reporting requirements of the Bankruptcy Court. The Monthly Operating Report was not audited or reviewed by independent accountants, was not prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States, is in a format prescribed by applicable bankruptcy laws or rules, and is subject to future adjustment and reconciliation. The Monthly Operating Report also contains information for periods shorter and otherwise different from those contained in the Company’s reports required to be filed pursuant to the Securities Act or Exchange Act. There can be no assurance that, from the perspective of an investor or potential investor in the Company’s securities, the Monthly Operating Report is complete. Results set forth in the Monthly Operating Report should not be viewed as indicative of future results.

As previously reported in a Form 12b-25 filed on May 9, 2023, the Company did not file a quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the period ended March 31, 2023 or will not file any periodic reports for subsequent periods. Instead, the Company will file Current Reports on Form 8-K containing (i) disclosure of all material events in the Chapter 11 Case and any other information required by the instructions to Form 8-K and (ii) as exhibits, the operating reports and any other documents that include unaudited financial information filed by the Company with the Bankruptcy Court.

 


Forward-Looking Statements

Various statements in this Form 8-K or documents referred to herein, including those that express a belief, expectation, target or intention, as well as those that are not statements of historical fact, and/or the Monthly Operating Report, are “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act and Section 21E of the Exchange Act and/or the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, as applicable. All statements, other than statements of historical facts, included in this filing that address activities, events or developments that the Company expects, believes, targets or anticipates will or may occur in the future are forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are subject to known and unknown risks and uncertainties, many of which may be beyond the Company’s control. The Company’s actual results may differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of certain risks and other factors, which include the following: risks and uncertainties relating to the Chapter 11 Case, including but not limited to, the effects of the Chapter 11 Case on the Company and on the interests of various constituents, Bankruptcy Court rulings in the Chapter 11 Case and the outcome of the Chapter 11 Case in general, the duration of the Chapter 11 Case, risks associated with third-party motions in the Chapter 11 Case, risks related to the trading of the Company’s securities on the OTC Pink Market, the risk that the Chapter 11 Case may be converted to a case under Chapter 7 of the Bankruptcy Code, as well as other risk factors. The Company therefore cautions readers against relying on these forward-looking statements. All forward-looking statements attributable to the Company or persons acting on the Company’s behalf are expressly qualified in their entirety by the foregoing cautionary statements. All such statements speak only as of the date made, and, except as required by law, the Company undertakes no obligation to update or revise publicly any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

UNITED STATES BANKRUPTCY COURT

SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK

 

In re SVB Financial Group    Case No. 23-10367 (MG)

Reporting Period: 7/1/2023 – 7/31/2023

Supplemental Notes to Monthly Operating Report

FACTUAL BACKGROUND

Debtor-in-Possession Financial Statements: On March 17, 2023 (the “Petition Date”), SVB Financial Group (the “Debtor”) filed a voluntary petition in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York (the “Bankruptcy Court”) for relief under the provisions of Chapter 11 of Title 11 of the United States Code (the “Bankruptcy Code”). The Debtor’s case is administered under the caption In re SVB Financial Group, Case No 23-10367 (the “Chapter 11 Case”). The Debtor is continuing to operate its remaining businesses as a debtor-in-possession under the jurisdiction of the Bankruptcy Court and in accordance with the applicable provisions of the Bankruptcy Code and orders of the Bankruptcy Court.

The Debtor is filing its monthly operating report (the “MOR”) for purposes of complying with the monthly operating requirements applicable in the Debtor’s Chapter 11 Case. The financial information contained in the MOR is unaudited and limited in scope to only those items and disclosures required pursuant to the Bankruptcy Code. The MOR has been completed using generally accepted accounting standards (e.g., the Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification 852, Reorganizations (ASC 852)). The MOR, however, is not a complete set of financial statements pursuant to generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) as it does not include all disclosures and financial statements (e.g., statement of cash flow or statement of shareholders’ equity) which are required pursuant to GAAP. Additionally, the MOR includes certain cash-basis schedules (e.g., Part 1: Cash Receipts and Disbursements) which are not in accordance with GAAP.

The financial information disclosed in the MOR was not prepared in accordance with federal or state securities laws or other applicable non-bankruptcy law or in lieu of complying with any periodic reporting requirements thereunder. Persons and entities trading in or otherwise purchasing, selling, or transferring the claims against or equity interests in the Debtor should evaluate this financial information in light of the purposes for which it was prepared. The Debtor is not liable for and undertakes no responsibility to indicate variations from securities laws reporting.

Basis of Presentation: As discussed in greater detail in the Declaration of William C. Kosturos in Support of the Debtor’s Chapter 11 Petition and First Day Pleadings [D.I. 21] and Supplemental Declaration of William C. Kosturos in Support of the Debtor’s Chapter 11 Petition and First Day Pleadings [D.I. 43], on March 10, 2023, the California banking authorities closed Silicon Valley Bank (the “Bank”) and appointed the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation as receiver (“FDIC-R”) of the Bank (the “Receivership”). The FDIC-R subsequently transferred all deposits and substantially all assets of Silicon Valley Bank to a newly created, FDIC-R-operated bridge bank, Silicon Valley Bridge Bank, National Association (“Bridge Bank”). Before the Receivership, the Debtor’s information management systems were primarily maintained by the Bank pursuant to a shared services agreement. As a result of the Receivership, the Debtor no longer operates the Bank and no longer has complete access to these systems. The Debtor is continuing to work with the FDIC-R, as well as First Citizens Bank & Trust Company (“FCB”), as successor-in-interest to Bridge Bank, to gain access to its books and records.

In addition, before the Receivership, the Debtor’s executive officers, its principal accounting officer and all members of its accounting and finance teams were employed by the Bank. All of these individuals have either resigned, became employees of Bridge Bank in connection with the Receivership or have become an employee of FCB. The Debtor has made reasonable efforts to supplement the information available to it with additional information concerning transactions that may not have been identified in the books and records to which it has access.

Notes and Supporting Documentation     Pg 2 of 7

 

Records of prepetition assets and liabilities, including, among other things, liabilities owed by the Debtor to its affiliates and FCB, are likely to be adjusted throughout the pendency of the Chapter 11 Case as claims are filed and items are approved by the Bankruptcy Court. The MOR and the Supplemental Balance Sheet and Supplemental Statement of Operations attached thereto, are an unconsolidated, stand-alone presentation of the Debtor’s assets and liabilities and income/loss. The financial results of Debtor’s subsidiaries not party to the Chapter 11 Case are included in the financial statements as Investments in Subsidiaries and Net (Gain)/Loss from Subsidiaries.

Reporting Period: Unless otherwise noted herein or in the MOR, the MOR generally reflects the Debtor’s books and records and financial activity occurring during the applicable reporting period. Except as otherwise noted, no adjustments have been made for activity occurring after the close of the reporting period.

NOTES TO MOR

Note 1: Employees

The Debtor did not directly employ any employees during the reporting period. SVBFG Employee Holdco LLC, a non-debtor direct subsidiary of the Debtor, employed four employees who performed services for the Debtor during the reporting period.

Note 2: Reorganization Accounting

Accounting standard ASC 852 requires expenses and income directly associated with the Chapter 11 Case to be reported separately in the statement of operations as Reorganization Items, net. Reorganization Items, net may include write-off of certain fees relating to debt obligations classified as Liabilities Subject to Compromise, expenses related to legal advisory and representation services, other professional consulting and advisory services, and changes in Liabilities Subject to Compromise. Reorganization Items, net will be recorded as such items are incurred and/or approved by the Bankruptcy Court.

Note 3: Investment Securities

Investment Securities primarily represent investments in venture capital and private equity funds, debt funds, private and public portfolio companies, including public equity securities held as a result of equity warrant assets exercised. The fair values of these investments are reflected in the financial statements and are adjusted on a quarterly basis. Fair value changes are recorded as unrealized gains or losses through net income.

Unconsolidated venture capital and private equity fund investments: Funds where ownership interest is typically less than 5% of the voting interests of each such fund and in which there is not the ability to exercise significant influence over the partnerships’ operating activities and financial policies. The unconsolidated venture capital and private equity fund investments are carried at fair value based on the fund investments’ net asset values per share as obtained from the general partners of the funds, adjusted for any contributions paid, distributions received from the investment, and significant fund transactions or market events during the reporting period.

Direct equity investments in private companies: The carrying value is based on the price at which the investment was acquired plus or minus changes resulting from observable price changes in orderly transactions for identical or similar investments. A range of factors is considered when adjusting the fair value of these investments, including, but not limited to, the term and nature of the investment, local market conditions, values for comparable securities, current and projected operating performance, exit strategies, financing transactions subsequent to the acquisition of the investment and a discount for certain investments that have lock-up restrictions or other features that indicate a discount to fair value is warranted.

Note 4: Due to/from FDIC-R

The Debtor has reflected the known cash balances of its operating accounts and Regulation W account that were on deposit at Bridge Bank as of the Petition Date (and previously at the Bank), as a receivable from the FDIC-R. The Debtor does not have access to its account information at Bridge Bank so it could not independently verify the exact amount of funds that were transferred to the FDIC-R but has used the available information provided by FCB to reflect its best estimate of the amounts that are due to the Debtor.

Note 5: Warrants & Other Derivatives

In connection with negotiated credit facilities and certain other services that were offered by the Bank, the Debtor often acquired equity warrant assets giving the Debtor the right to acquire stock in private, venture-backed companies primarily in the technology, life science and healthcare industries subject to applicable regulatory limits and, in some cases, equity interests were retained in these companies following their initial public offering. The fair values of these warrants and investments are reflected in the financial statements and are adjusted on a quarterly basis. Fair value changes are recorded as unrealized gains or losses through net income. However, the timing and amount of changes in fair value, if any, of these financial instruments depends on factors beyond the Debtor’s control, including the perceived and actual performance of the companies or funds in which the Debtor invests, fluctuations in the market prices of the preferred or common stock of the portfolio companies, the timing of the receipt of relevant financial information from these companies, market volatility and interest rate fluctuations and legal and contractual restrictions. The valuation processes for warrants are as follows:

Equity warrant assets (public portfolio): Fair value measurements of equity warrant assets of publicly-traded portfolio companies are valued based on the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The model uses the price of publicly traded companies (underlying stock price), stated strike prices, warrant expiration dates, the risk-free interest rate and market-observable option volatility assumptions.

Equity warrant assets (private portfolio): Fair value measurements of equity warrant assets of private portfolio companies are priced based on a Black-Scholes option pricing model to estimate the asset value by using stated strike prices, option expiration dates, risk-free interest rates and option volatility assumptions. Option volatility assumptions used in the Black-Scholes model are based on public market indices whose members operate in similar industries as companies in the Debtor’s private company portfolio. Option expiration dates are modified to account for estimates to actual life relative to stated expiration. Overall model asset values are further adjusted for a general lack of liquidity due to the private nature of the associated underlying company.

Note 6: Lease Accounting – Right of Use Asset and Lease Liability

The Debtor has unexpired leases for real estate and equipment. At the inception of each lease, the lease is evaluated to determine whether the lease will be accounted for as an operating or finance lease.

ROU assets represent the right to use an underlying asset for the lease term, and lease liabilities represent the obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. Operating lease ROU assets and liabilities are recognized at the commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. As most leases do not provide an implicit rate, the incremental borrowing rate was used based on the information available at the commencement date in determining the present value of lease payments. The implicit rate is used when readily determinable. The operating lease ROU asset also includes any lease payments made and excludes lease incentives. Lease terms may include options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that such option will be exercised. Lease expense for lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

The Debtor requested approval from the Bankruptcy Court to assume/assign or reject unexpired leases in prior months but there were no lease rejections, assignments or assumptions during the reporting period. The carrying value of the ROU asset and lease liability associated with any lease(s) that are rejected are written off and recognized as Reorganization Items, net. The Debtor also estimates the damages associated with rejected leases. Any lease rejection damages are recorded in the financial statements as a prepetition claim in the month the Debtor receives a signed order approving any lease rejections, along with the write-off of the related ROU asset and lease liability.

Note 7: Investment in Subsidiaries

The primary subsidiary business operations of the Debtor during the reporting period are:

SVB Capital

SVB Capital is the venture capital and credit investment arm of the Debtor, which focuses primarily on funds management. SVB Capital manages over $9.5 billion of funds on behalf of third party limited partner investors and, on a more limited basis, the Debtor. The SVB Capital family of funds is comprised of pooled investment vehicles such as direct venture funds that invest in companies and funds of funds that invest in other venture capital funds, as well as debt funds that provide lending and other financing solutions. SVB Capital generates income for the Debtor primarily through investment returns (including carried interest) and management fees.

SVB Securities

SVB Securities is an investment bank focused on the innovation economy and operates as a wholly owned subsidiary of the Debtor. SVB Securities provides investment banking services across all major sub-sectors of healthcare and technology. On June 17, 2023, the Debtor and its non-debtor, wholly owned subsidiary, SVB Securities Holdings LLC (“Securities Holdings”), entered into an Interest and Asset Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) for the sale (the “Sale”) of 100% of the issued and outstanding membership interests of SVB Securities LLC (“Securities) and SVB MEDACorp LLC (“MEDACorp”), two wholly owned subsidiaries of Securities Holdings, and certain related assets of the Debtor and Securities Holdings. On July 5, 2023, the Bankruptcy Court approved the Purchase Agreement and the Sale [D.I. 393]. The closing of the Sale is subject to the receipt of necessary regulatory approvals.

In connection with the acquisition of Securities by Securities Holdings in 2019, Securities Holdings recorded goodwill and intangible assets of $150.3 million and $60.9 million, respectively. Accounting standard ASC 350 Intangibles – Goodwill and Other (“ASC 350”) requires companies to assess indefinite-lived intangible assets for impairment annually, and more frequently, if indicators of impairment exist. Part of the assessment is a qualitative assessment to assess whether it is more likely than not (i.e., a likelihood of greater than 50%) that an indefinite-lived intangible asset is impaired. ASC 350 includes a list of events and circumstances to consider when performing this qualitative assessment, one of which is “a more likely-than-not expectation of selling or disposing all, or a portion, of a reporting unit”.

As a result of the signing of the Purchase Agreement, the Debtor performed an assessment of the carrying value of the goodwill and intangible assets at Securities Holdings related to Securities and determined that they have been impaired. Pursuant to ASC 350, the Debtor then performed a quantitative assessment of the carrying value of the net assets of Securities, combined with the carrying value of the goodwill and intangibles associated with Securities relative to the accounting consideration to be received as part of the Purchase Agreement. The result of the qualitative assessment was a determination that the goodwill and intangible assets associated with Securities were fully impaired. As a result, the carrying value of goodwill and intangible assets of $150.3 million and $32.2 million, respectively, was written off as of June 30, 2023.    

Note 8: Taxes

Taxes receivables reflect a reasonable estimate of current tax refunds due to the Debtor and continue to be evaluated for any required allocations or adjustments.

Note 9: Liabilities Subject to Compromise (Prepetition)

Due to the filing of the Chapter 11 Case on March 17, 2023, the payment of prepetition indebtedness is generally subject to compromise pursuant to a plan of reorganization. Generally, actions to enforce or otherwise effect payment of pre-bankruptcy filing liabilities are stayed. The Debtor has been paying and intends to pay undisputed postpetition liabilities in the ordinary course of business. In addition, the Debtor may reject certain prepetition executory contracts and unexpired leases with respect to their operations with the approval of the Bankruptcy Court (See Note 6).

Notes and Supporting Documentation     Pg 5 of 7

 

Prepetition liabilities that are subject to compromise are required to be reported at the amounts expected to be allowed, even if they may be settled for lesser amounts. The amounts currently classified as Liabilities Subject To Compromise may be subject to future adjustments depending on Bankruptcy Court actions, further developments with respect to disputed claims, determinations of secured status of certain claims, the values of any collateral securing such claims, or other events. The value of the claims that will ultimately be allowed by the Bankruptcy Court cannot be reasonably estimated until the evaluation, investigation and reconciliation of the filed claims has been completed. Any resulting changes in classification will be reflected in subsequent financial statements.

Note 10: Questionnaire

The workers’ compensation policy that covered employees of FCB who previously performed services for the Debtor was terminated on May 1, 2023. The Debtor has obtained a new workers’ compensation policy through a professional employer organization.

I declare under penalty of perjury that, in my reasonable belief, the foregoing supplemental notes to Monthly Operating Report are true and correct.
