Rohr Discusses ‘This Week’s Big Deal’ on CNBC

“The opportunity to put the two banks together is terrific for us,” Jim Rohr says in a CNBC interview yesterday on the National City acquisition.

In an “exclusive” CNBC-TV appearance from the floor of the New York Stock Exchange yesterday afternoon, PNC Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Jim Rohr discussed how the company’s agreement to acquire National City Corporation positions PNC for success in volatile times.

Talking with “Closing Bell” co-anchor Maria Bartiromo, Rohr said, “we’re very, very excited about the deal. We’ve gotten to know them [National City] very well over the last several months.

“Banks are sold, not bought,” Rohr added. “And when their board was ready to sell, we were ready to move. The opportunity to put the two banks together is terrific for us.”

Rohr noted the integration will be completed over a 24-month period.

Upon closing, which is scheduled for later in the fourth quarter of this year, PNC will have more than $180 billion in deposits and 2,500 branches across 13 states and Washington, D.C., ranking the company in the top five in each of those categories. It will also make PNC the No. 1 bank by market share in Kentucky, Ohio and Pennsylvania, and No. 2 in Indiana. The agreement is subject to customary conditions including shareholder and regulatory approval.

During the interview, Rohr also discussed the $7.7 billion of preferred stock and related warrants under the Troubled Asset Relief Program (TARP)’s Capital Purchase Program that PNC plans to issue to the U.S. Treasury to maintain the company’s strong capital position.

“The TARP financing allowed us to raise some capital that we will need to bring National City’s balance sheet onto ours,” Rohr noted. “What the government is really doing is investing in a solid bank in PNC, and we fully intend to pay that off within five years.”

Asked if he thought the government was “moving fast enough” to help lessen the financial crisis, Rohr said, “obviously, there’s a huge problem with housing now. But I like the way the Treasury, Fed and OCC have worked together to help solve this problem. They’re working to put more confidence in the banking system, and this is ultimately a confidence issue.”
