BankUnited, a national banking association headquartered in Miami Lakes, Florida, with operations in Florida, New York Tri-State, Dallas, Atlanta, and Charlotte. BankUnited provides a full range of consumer and commercial banking products and services to individuals, small businesses, middle-market companies, large corporations and institutions, and offers certain commercial lending and deposit products through national platforms and certain consumer deposit products through an online channel. Our core business strategy is to build a leading regional commercial and small business bank with a distinctive value proposition based on strong service-oriented relationships, robust digital enabled customer experiences and operational excellence, and with an entrepreneurial work environment that empowers employees to deliver their best. To date, we have executed our strategy primarily through organic growth and anticipate that we will most likely continue to do so, although we will evaluate and consider opportunities to engage in merger and acquisition activity when they arise. Our Products and Services Lending General —Our primary lending focus is to serve small, middle-market and larger corporate businesses with a variety of financial products and services while maintaining a disciplined credit culture. We offer a full array of lending products that cater to our customers' needs and have attracted and invested in experienced relationship management teams in our primary lending markets. Commercial loans —Our commercial loans, which are generally made to growing small business, middle-market and larger corporate entities and non-profit organizations, include secured and unsecured lines of credit, formula-based lines of credit, equipment loans, owner-occupied commercial real estate term loans and lines of credit, mortgage warehouse lines, subscription finance facilities, letters of credit, commercial credit cards, SBA and USDA product offerings, Export-Import Bank financing products, trade finance and business acquisition finance credit facilities. The Bank has two commercial lending subsidiaries, Pinnacle, headquartered in Scottsdale, Arizona and Bridge, headquartered in Baltimore, Maryland. Pinnacle provides financing to state and local governmental entities directly and through vendor programs and alliances. Pinnacle offers a full array of financing structures including essential use equipment lease purchase and loan agreements and direct (private placement) bond refundings. The Bridge portfolio consists of (i) businesses equipment loans and leases, including finance lease and operating lease structures, and (ii) franchise equipment, acquisition and expansion financing facilities. The Bridge lines of business have been de-emphasized due to their risk/return and liquidity profiles. We expect that related loan balances will continue to decline. Commercial real estate loans —We offer term financing for the acquisition or refinancing of properties, primarily rental apartments, mixed-use commercial properties, industrial properties, warehouses, retail shopping centers, free-standing single-tenant buildings, office buildings and hotels. Other products that we provide include real estate secured lines of credit, lending to REITs and institutional asset owners, subscription lines of credit to real estate funds, and, to a lesser extent, acquisition, development and construction loan facilities and construction financing. In the current environment, we have de-emphasized lending in the office sector and been more focused on warehouse/industrial, multi-family and the retail sectors. While we have a small amount of New York rent regulated multi-family loans, we are not actively engaged in lending in this sub-sector. Residential mortgages —We do not originate residential mortgages, but do invest in residential loans originated through established correspondent channels and community partners. Our residential loan portfolio is primarily comprised of loans purchased on a national basis through select correspondent channels. This national purchase program allows us to diversify our loan portfolio, both by product type and geography.…
