when did wells fargo buy first interstate bank
First Interstate Bancorp Despite First Interstate's healthier condition, and with the banking industry consolidation in full swing, Wells Fargo made a hostile bid for First Interstate in October 1995 initially valued at $10.8 billion. Other banks came forward as potential 'white knights,' including Norwest Corporation, Bank One Corporation, and First Bank System. The latter made a serious bid for First Interstate, with the two banks reaching a formal merger agreement in November valued initially at $10.3 billion. But First Bank ran into regulatory difficulties with the way it had structured its offer and was forced to bow out of the takeover battle in mid-January 1996. Talks between Wells Fargo and First Interstate then led within days to a merger agreement for $11.3 billion in stock.[8] Wells Fargo completed the acquisition on April 1, 1996 and announced the elimination of 7,200 jobs.[9]
Allstate In 1993, Allstate went public when Sears sold 19.8% of the company.[13] At the time, it was the largest IPO to date.
