First Bank System, Inc.
First Bank System, Inc. ("FBS") is a regional, multi-state bank holding
company headquartered in Minneapolis, Minnesota. FBS is comprised of four
banks and other financial companies with 359 banking offices in Minnesota,
Colorado, Wisconsin, Illinois, Montana, North Dakota, South Dakota, Iowa,
Kansas, Nebraska, and Wyoming. FBS also has various nonbank subsidiaries
engaged in financial services, principally in the Upper Midwest.
FBS' subsidiary banks provide banking services to both domestic and foreign
customers and correspondent banks. These services include consumer banking,
commercial lending, financing of import/export trade, foreign exchange, and
investment services. FBS, through its subsidiaries, also provides services in
trust, commercial and agricultural finance, data processing, leasing and
brokerage services. As of March 31, 1996, FBS and its consolidated subsidiaries
had consolidated assets of $36.0 billion, consolidated deposits of $23.4
billion, and shareholders' equity of $3.0 billion.
On March 20, 1997, FBS and U.S. Bancorp ("USBC") announced that they had
entered into a definitive agreement whereby FBS will exchange .755 shares of its
common stock for each share of USBC common stock. The combined institution,
which will use the U.S. Bancorp name, will have approximately $70 billion in
assets, and serve 3.9 million households through 995 branches and 4,565 ATM's in
17 contiguous states. The transaction will be accounted for as a pooling-of-
interests, is subject to shareholder and regulatory approvals, and is expected
to close in the third quarter of 1997.
FBS was incorporated in Delaware in 1929 and has functioned as a multi-bank
holding company since that time. Its principal executive offices are located at
