[July 02, 2009]  Friday morning the offices of the John Warner Bank of Clinton, Illinois, which were

closed by banking regulators, will open for business as branches of the State Bank of

Lincoln.

In an agreement made with the FDIC late Thursday the Lincoln bank agreed to assume all assets and deposits of the failed John Warner Bank.

 

Steve Aughenbaugh, President of State Bank of Lincoln stated, “State Bank of Lincoln

now has assets of over $250 million, has a very strong capital base, and has been around

since 1904. It has earned the highest ratings possible from both bankrate.com and Bauer

Financial. Both organizations rate banks primarily based on their capital, earnings and asset quality. At the end of 2008 State Bank of Lincoln had 10.9% of Tier 1 capital. This is more than twice the amount of capital needed for bank regulators to consider it to be well capitalized.”

 

Aughenbaugh concluded by saying “The John Warner Bank has a lot of fine people working for it, and we are glad to have them as part of our team.”
