Exhibit 99.2

SVB Capital Announces SVB Financial Group Will Retain Ownership of the Business

and Creates New Operating Committee

Transition Follows Decision by SVB Financial Group that Retaining Ownership of SVB Capital Represents Best Path Forward for Business

Co-Founder Aaron Gershenberg Returning to Join Veteran Managing Partners Sulu Mamdani and Beau Laskey to Co-Lead SVB Capital

Leaders’ Collective Expertise and Unique Skillsets to Advance SVB Capital’s Value Maximization Initiatives

SANTA CLARA, Calif., January 9, 2024 – SVB Capital Management, LLC (“SVB Capital”), a wholly-owned indirect subsidiary of SVB Financial Group (Pink Sheets: SIVBQ), today announced that, following a review of strategic alternatives, SVB Financial Group and its creditors have determined that retaining the SVB Capital business would result in superior value creation opportunities. In connection with mapping its go-forward strategy, SVB Capital has created a new operating committee that will oversee all aspects of the business’ strategic and operational initiatives.

The operating committee is made up of Aaron Gershenberg, Sulu Mamdani and Beau Laskey, three longtime SVB Capital executives and experienced venture capital leaders. Gershenberg, a co-founder of SVB Capital who has served as a Senior Advisor since January 2023, is returning as a Managing Partner. The operating committee will be focused on maximizing the value of SVB Capital’s portfolio and assets and continuing to serve its limited partners. The committee will work closely with William Kosturos, Chief Restructuring Officer of SVB Financial Group, to ensure a smooth transition.

“We believe that retaining SVB Capital under a reorganized company is the best path forward to maximize its value in the current environment,” said Kosturos. “SVB Financial Group and its creditors recognize the strong foundation on which SVB Capital has been built, thanks in large part to Aaron, Sulu and Beau’s outstanding leadership and partnership, with the significant support and contributions of the entire SVB Capital team. Aaron, Sulu and Beau’s vision for the future of this business is closely aligned with our creditor group, and all parties are focused on preserving the value of the business, meeting obligations to partners and positioning the platform to capitalize on future opportunities.”

Gershenberg, Mamdani and Laskey will return to the equal partnership model that for years drove SVB Capital’s success and growth into an industry leader. For more than ten years, the three cultivated an impressive investment track record through collaboration, alignment of interests and tenured partnership. They share a cohesive vision for SVB Capital’s operations going forward and, as part of the operating committee, they will act as responsible stewards of the business on behalf of its creditors, limited partners and employees.

The members of the operating committee issued the following statement:

“For nearly 25 years, SVB Capital has operated with a mission to grow and enhance access to the innovation economy, and has built an exceptional reputation as the premier investment partner for top venture capital firms and technology companies. Our multi-strategy platform has enabled us to create a leading portfolio of assets, cultivate enduring relationships with our limited partners and generate strong returns. With a demonstrated track record of leadership and equal collaboration, we look forward to reuniting the experienced partnership that has powered SVB Capital’s success, with the goal of preserving the tremendous value inherent in the firm, while also undertaking structural initiatives to position us for the future. Together, we intend to leverage our unique skillsets and industry expertise to manage our assets responsibly and efficiently and unlock the full potential of our platform.”

Additional information about Gershenberg, Mamdani and Laskey’s background and experience is available on their LinkedIn pages, which can be found here, here and here, respectively.
