Cautionary Statements Regarding Forward-Looking Information
Certain statements in this Current Report may constitute “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, with respect to NYCB’s and Flagstar’s beliefs, goals, intentions, and expectations regarding revenues, earnings, loan production, asset quality, capital levels, and acquisitions, among other matters; NYCB’s and Flagstar’s estimates of future costs and benefits of the actions each company may take; NYCB’s and Flagstar’s assessments of probable losses on loans; NYCB’s and Flagstar’s assessments of interest rate and other market risks; and NYCB’s and Flagstar’s ability to achieve their respective financial and other strategic goals.
Forward-looking statements are typically identified by such words as “believe,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “outlook,” “estimate,” “forecast,” “project,” “should,” and other similar words and expressions, and are subject to numerous assumptions, risks, and uncertainties, which change over time. These forward-looking statements include, without limitation, those relating to the terms, timing and closing of the proposed transaction.
Additionally, forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made; NYCB and Flagstar do not assume any duty, and do not undertake, to update such forward-looking statements. Furthermore, because forward-looking statements are subject to assumptions and uncertainties, actual results or future events could differ, possibly materially, from those indicated in such forward-looking statements as a result of a variety of factors, many of which are beyond the control of NYCB and Flagstar. The factors that could cause actual results to differ materially include the following: the occurrence of any event, change or other circumstances that could give rise to the right of one or both of the parties to terminate the definitive merger agreement among NYCB, 615 Corp. and Flagstar; the outcome of any legal proceedings that may be instituted against NYCB or Flagstar; the possibility that the proposed transaction will not close when expected or at all because required regulatory, shareholder or other approvals are not received or other conditions to the closing are not satisfied on a timely basis or at all, or are obtained subject to conditions that are not anticipated; the ability of NYCB and Flagstar to meet expectations regarding the timing, completion and accounting and tax treatments of the proposed transaction; the risk that any announcements relating to the proposed transaction could have adverse effects on the market price of the common stock of NYCB or Flagstar; the possibility that the anticipated benefits of the proposed transaction will not be realized when expected or at all, including as a result of the impact of, or problems arising from, the integration of the two companies or as a result of the strength of the economy and competitive factors in the areas where NYCB and Flagstar do business; certain restrictions during the pendency of the proposed transaction that may impact the parties’ ability to pursue certain business opportunities or strategic transactions; the possibility that the proposed transaction may be more expensive to complete than anticipated, including as a result of unexpected factors or events; diversion of management’s attention from ongoing business operations and opportunities; the possibility that the parties may be unable to achieve expected synergies and operating efficiencies in the proposed transaction within the expected timeframes or at all and to successfully integrate Flagstar’s operations and those of NYCB; such integration may be more difficult, time consuming or costly than expected; revenues following the proposed transaction may be lower than expected; potential adverse reactions or changes to business or employee relationships, including those resulting from the announcement or completion of the proposed transaction; NYCB’s and Flagstar’s success in executing their respective business plans and strategies and managing the risks involved in the foregoing; the dilution caused by NYCB’s issuance of additional shares of its capital stock in connection with the proposed transaction; and other factors that may affect future results of NYCB and Flagstar; and the other factors discussed in the “Risk Factors” section NYCB’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020 and in other reports NYCB files with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), which are available at http://www.sec.gov and in the “SEC Filings” section of NYCB’s website, https://ir.mynycb.com, under the heading “Financial Information,” and in Flagstar’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020 and in Flagstar’s other filings with SEC, which are available at http://www.sec.gov and in the “Documents” section of Flagstar’s website, https://investors.flagstar.com.

NEW YORK COMMUNITY BANCORP, INC. TO ACQUIRE FLAGSTAR BANCORP, INC. IN AN ALL STOCK STRATEGIC MERGER
ATTRACTIVE PRO-FORMA FINANCIAL METRICS; SUBSTANTIALLY ACCRETIVE TO EPS AND TANGIBLE BOOK VALUE PER SHARE
CREATES A HIGH PERFORMING REGIONAL BANK WITH NATIONAL SCALE AND STRONG FOOTHOLDS IN THE NORTHEAST AND UPPER MIDWEST WITH EXPOSURE TO HIGH GROWTH MARKETS
COMBINED COMPANY WILL HAVE SIGNIFICANT SCALE, GEOGRAPHIC DIVERSIFICATION, IMPROVED FUNDING PROFILE, AND A BROADER PRODUCT MIX
Westbury, N.Y. and Troy, MI, April 26, 2021 New York Community Bancorp, Inc. (NYSE: NYCB) (New York Community) and Flagstar Bancorp, Inc. (NYSE: FBC) (Flagstar), jointly announced today that they have entered into a definitive merger agreement under which the two companies will combine in an all stock merger.
Under terms of the agreement, which was unanimously approved by the Boards of Directors of both companies, Flagstar shareholders will receive 4.0151 shares of New York Community common stock for each Flagstar share they own. Following completion of the transaction, the New York Community shares held by New York Community shareholders immediately prior to the transaction are expected to collectively represent approximately 68% of the combined company and the New York Community shares issued to Flagstar shareholders in the merger are expected to represent approximately 32% of the combined company. The implied total transaction value based on closing prices as of April 23, 2021 is approximately $2.6 billion.
The new company will have over $87 billion in assets and operate nearly 400 traditional branches in nine states and 87 loan production offices across a 28 state footprint. It will have its headquarters on Long Island, N.Y. with regional headquarters in Troy, MI, including Flagstars mortgage operations. The combined company will maintain the Flagstar Bank brand in the Midwest. Flagstars mortgage division will also maintain the Flagstar brand. Other states will retain their current branding.
Thomas R. Cangemi will be President and Chief Executive Officer of the combined company and Alessandro (Sandro) P. DiNello, Flagstars current President and Chief Executive Officer, will become Non-Executive Chairman with John Pinto serving as Senior Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer of the combined company. Lee M. Smith will continue to lead the mortgage division as Senior Executive Vice President and President of Mortgage and Reginald Davis will head up consumer and commercial banking and serve as Senior Executive Vice President and President of Banking. The remaining key roles will combine the best talent from both companies. The Board of Directors will be comprised of 12 directors eight from New York Community and four from Flagstar.
Commenting on the transaction, Thomas R. Cangemi stated, When I was appointed President and CEO of New York Community earlier this year, one of my top priorities was to seek out a like-minded partner that would provide NYCB with a diversified revenue stream, an improved funding mix, and leverage our scale and technology, as we transition away from a traditional thrift model. In Flagstar, we have found such a like-minded partner. The combination of our two companies will allow each of us to continue our transformation to a full-service commercial bank by broadening our product offerings while expanding our geographic reach with no branch overlap. Over the past several months, I have gotten to know the Board and
management team of Flagstar and found that we share the same values and commitment to our employees, customers, and the communities which we serve. Importantly, we both hold shareholder value as paramount. Sandro and his team have done a terrific job at Flagstar and I look forward to working closely with them as we build a bank for the future. The merger of our two organizations will provide us with a larger platform, a more robust product offering, a strong employee talent pool, and significant balance sheet size to accelerate our transformation into a high performing commercial bank.
For Flagstar, this is a unique opportunity, said Alessandro DiNello, President and Chief Executive Officer of Flagstar Bancorp. With our existing Flagstar platform, we had every expectation of continuing to build on our success as a leader in creating value in the mid-size bank space. Now, in partnership with NYCB, we are positioned to further accelerate everything weve been doing during my tenure as Flagstars CEO to build a best-in-class commercial bank, supported by one of the best mortgage and servicing businesses in the country.
Tom is a young, dynamic CEO who shares my vision. Together his team and the Flagstar team will grow our combined businesses smartly and safely. Im immensely proud of what we have achieved at Flagstar and cant wait to see all we will accomplish as we supercharge our respective businesses through this transaction.
The transaction is expected to close by the end of 2021, subject to the satisfaction of customary closing conditions, including the receipt of the requisite regulatory approvals and the requisite approval by the shareholders of each company.
