		<description><![CDATA[The acquisition of Marshall &#38; Ilsley Corporation (MI) by Bank of Montreal (BMO) finally drew to a close on Tuesday, following BMO’s repayment of $1.715 billion of Troubled Asset Relief Program (TARP) money that M&#38;I had borrowed from the U.S. Treasury in 2008. Along with this repayment, which was a part of the acquisition deal, BMO also purchased $3.3 million worth of warrants that were issued to the U.S. Treasury by M&#38;I and paid $11.9 million as accrued dividends. The acquired M&#38;I offices (about 190 in total) would be renamed as BMO Harris Bank, after BMO integrates it with Chicago-based Harris Bank, which BMO owns. The integration will likely take nearly 18 months. Furthermore, M&#38;I’s Chairman and CEO, Mark Furlong, has been named as the president and CEO of BMO ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Abbott Labs (ABT) and partner Reata Pharmaceuticals, Inc. recently announced the presentation of new phase II data on bardoxolone methyl. In addition to being posted online in The New England Journal of Medicine, the data were also presented at the European Renal Association-European Dialysis and Transplant Association (ERA-EDTA) Congress. The phase II BEAM study was conducted in patients with moderate to severe chronic kidney disease and type II diabetes. Results showed that patients receiving bardoxolone methyl for 52 weeks experienced a sustained improvement in kidney function throughout the treatment period as measured by estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR), which is an important measure of kidney function. All three doses (25, 75 or 150 mg) of bardoxolone methyl achieved a statistically significant improvement in eGFR compared to placebo. Moreover, only 9% ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Yields on treasury bonds were expected to start trending up as the end point for the Fed&#8217;s $600 billion QE2 program came closer. The thinking was that as the Fed stopped buying these bonds, yields will have nowhere to go but up. This fairly plausible view, which has Pimco&#8217;s Bill Gross as one of its exponents, has failed to materialize thus far. With QE2 just days away from coming to a close, yields on the benchmark 10-year treasury bond are below 2.9%. Yields on the shorter maturity treasury bills are close to zero. This would mean that investors in treasury bills are not asking for anything in return for lending money to Uncle Sam. Given the deadlocked debt-ceiling negotiations in DC and Greece&#8217;s debt problems hogging headlines, is the bond ]]></description>

With this regulatory nod, the parties have finally garnered all necessary approvals required to complete the merger. With regard to this, BMO stated that its plan to proceed with common share offering to finance MI merger has been shelved because of its strong capital position. The deal is now expected to close on July 5. In May, the shareholders of MI approved the merger deal with BMO. The U.S. Treasury Department also provided a proxy giving their assent to the merger as it holds the Senior Preferred Stock of the company. MI’s merger with BMO, an all-stock transaction valued at $4.1 billion, was announced in ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Marshall &#38; Ilsley Corporation’s (MI) first quarter 2011 loss of 27 cents per share exceeded the Zacks Consensus Estimated loss of 18 cents but was in line with the prior-year quarter result. M&#38;I’s results for the reported quarter suffered mainly due to lower net interest income and non-interest income. However, decrease in non-interest expenses and provision for loan and lease losses were the positives. Also, the company’s credit quality showed mixed results during the quarter. M&#38;I’s first quarter net loss came in at $142.0 million as against $140.5 million reported in the comparable period last year. Quarter in Detail M&#38;I’s total revenue for the reported quarter stood at $538.6 million, down 14.6% from $630.8 million in the year-ago quarter. Total revenue also missed the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $565.0 million. ]]></description>

Though, apart from the Dow, certain benchmarks shed a few points on the closing day, the markets posted an optimistic picture at the year end. This was the second consecutive year that markets moved up. In addition, the benchmarks also posted double-digit growth for the year. On Friday, the Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA) was up 0.07% and closed at 11,577.51. The S&#38;P 500 was down 0.02% and closed at 1,257.64 and the Nasdaq ended the day at 2,652.87, down 0.38%.

		<description><![CDATA[On Friday, the tax package, which had been in news for past couple of weeks and often swayed the markets, was finally signed by the US President. However, markets closed ahead of the tax bill being turned into law and the indices ended almost flat. In addition, there were positive signs for the economy from Conference Board statements. But, the Euro-zone debt concern kept the investors jittery and avoided the markets to gain significantly. The Dow Jones Industrial Average was down 0.06% to close at 11,491. The S&#38;P 500 rose 0.08% to 1,243 and the tech-heavy Nasdaq was up 0.21%, to close at 2,642.

(JPM) said on Monday that it will help jobless Michigan homeowners by contributing to the state’s Hardest Hit fund, which assists qualified borrowers to pay about half of their mortgage payments for up to 12 months. JPMorgan’s customers who are behind on their mortgage payments will be primarily helped by this aid, saving up to $9,000. Following the setup of all the logistics by the Michigan State Housing Development Authority, JPMorgan will commence the program. Following unemployed homeowners’ request, JPMorgan’s counselors will check the eligibility by asking basic questions and then send an application package to the borrowers.

		<description><![CDATA[On Friday, Bank of America Corporation (BAC) announced that it is holding up foreclosures in 23 states to examine whether some of its former executives rushed through documents of homeowners without properly evaluating the authenticity of the information. The verification includes the accuracy of the loan information Incorporatedluding who owns the mortgage. The 23 states including Connecticut, Florida, New Jersey, New York and Pennsylvania – are those where foreclosures have to be approved by the court. Thus, BofA joins JPMorgan Chase &#38; Co. (JPM) and General Motors Acceptance Corporation (&#8220;GMAC&#8221;) Mortgage LCC, which have taken similar actions in the last two weeks. Also in an advance step, BofA has decided to revise all the affidavits pertaining to the foreclosure cases where the court has not given its verdict. JPMorgan and ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The U.S. Treasury said on Monday that new loans at nine major banks, which received significant government aid through the Troubled Asset Relief Program (TARP) during the height of the financial crisis and have not repaid yet, tumbled in Jan 2010. In its monthly survey of lending on the TARP banks, the Treasury found that new loan originations at these nine banks fell about 35% from Dec 2009 to $35.9 billion in Jan 2010. The amount was even lower than $41.6 billion of loan originations in October when new loans had fallen last. According to the Treasury, the drop in loan originations in January could partially be a result of large increases in originations during November and December of 2009. The nine major banks that are under survey by the ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Marshall &#38; Ilsley Corp. (MI), commonly known as M&#38;I, said in a regulatory filing on Tuesday that it is restricting cash bonuses for its executives in 2009 to fall in line with the terms of the federal bailout program. Some executive benefits such as bonuses, stock option grants, and retirement benefits and severance settlement are not allowed under the federal bailout program. All these benefits will now be replaced by &#8220;salary stock&#8221; in 2010. The new compensation will take the form of common shares. The shares will be granted on each payday, based on the stock price at that time. The shares will be fully vested when they are awarded but the executives will be restrained from transferring the shares. An employee will be allowed to transfer only one-third of ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[On Tuesday, Marshall &#38; Ilsley Corp. (MI), commonly known as M&#38;I, announced the extension of its foreclosure moratorium term by an additional 90-day period. The moratorium was initiated on Dec 18, 2008, as a part of the Homeowner Assistance Program. The foreclosure suspension now ends on Mar 31, 2009. The notice came as a breather for many homeowners distressed by the loan repayment issues. The foreclosure suspension is currently on all owner-occupied residential loans for customers who realistically work out to arrive at a successful repayment agreement. The moratorium applies to applicable loans in all M&#38;I markets. M&#38;I&#8217;s Homeowner Assistance Program is streamlined to help the programs generated for potentially troubled homeowners who are identified in advance and proactively offered assistance. It also offers programs to reduce foreclosures through several ]]></description>

The rating agency also lowered its outlook on the ratings to negative. The company&#8217;s senior debt was downgraded by one notch to “Baa1&#8243; (lower medium grade investment) from “A3&#8243; (upper medium grade investment). The rating agency also downgraded Marshall &#38; Ilsley’s financial strength rating to “C&#8221; from “C+&#8221; and the long-term deposit rating by one notch to “A3&#8243; from “A2&#8243;. According to the rating agency, there is a possibility that Marshall &#38; Ilsley could face sizable credit losses throughout 2010 resulting from its real estate concentration. However, the credit losses would prevent the company from returning to profitability in the near-term. Marshall &#38; Ilsley’s third-quarter loss of 68 cents per share was in line ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Marshall &#38; Ilsley Corp.’s (MI) third-quarter loss of 68 cents per share was in line with the company’s forecast earlier this month as well as the Zacks Consensus Estimate. Also, this compares unfavorably with the earnings of 32 cents per share in the prior-year quarter. The company expected to report a loss of 68 cents to 70 cents for the quarter. The loss was due primarily to a higher loan loss provision for bank holding company loans. At the end of the quarter, the allowance for loan and lease losses increased 23 basis points (bps) sequentially to 3.07% of total loans and leases. Credit quality significantly deteriorated during the quarter with rising net charge-offs and nonperforming assets. Net charge-offs increased 327 bps year over year to 4.48% of average loans ]]></description>
