Item 8.01. |
Other Events. |
On September 3, 2020, Peapack-Gladstone Bank, the wholly owned subsidiary of Peapack-Gladstone Financial Corporation (the “Company”), announced the sale of $354.9 million of Paycheck Protection Program loans to the Loan Source, Inc. The Bank expects to realize a pre-tax gain of approximately $7.4 million in the current quarter as a result of the sale. After giving effect to the sale, Peapack-Gladstone Bank will hold approximately $203.5 million of Paycheck Protection loans, almost all of which exceed $2.0 million in original principal amount.
The Loan Source and its servicing partner, ACAP SME, LLC, have invested heavily in technologies and personnel to aid PPP borrowers through the forgiveness process via an online portal.
The Bank expects the sale of the PPP loans to allow a return to a more normal course of business, freeing up staff to focus on traditional lending efforts and providing excellent service to their clients.
