Our primary market is the Chicago metropolitan area, in which we operate approximately 90 banking offices through our bank subsidiary, MB Financial Bank, N.A.

Through MB Financial Bank, we offer a broad range of financial services primarily to small and middle market businesses and individuals in the markets that we serve.

Commercial Banking. Commercial banking focuses on serving middle market businesses, primarily located in the Chicago metropolitan area. We provide a full set of credit, deposit, and treasury management products to these companies. In general, our credit products are designed for companies with annual revenues between $5 million and $150 million and credit needs of up to $35 million. We have a broad range of credit products for our target market, including working capital loans and lines of credit; accounts receivable financing; inventory and equipment financing; industrial revenue bond financing; business acquisition loans; owner occupied real estate loans; and financial, performance and commercial letters of credit. Our deposit and treasury management products are designed for companies with annual revenues up to $500 million and include: internet banking products, investment sweep accounts, zero balance accounts, automated tax payments, ATM access, telephone banking, lockbox, automated clearing house transactions, account reconciliation, controlled disbursement, detail and general information reporting, wire transfers, vault services for currency and coin, a variety of international banking services, and checking accounts. We also provide a full set of credit, deposit and treasury management services for real estate operators and investors.

Commercial Lending. We make commercial loans mainly to middle market businesses, most often located in the Chicago area. Borrowers tend to be privately owned and are generally manufacturers, wholesalers, distributors, long-term health care operators and service providers. Loan products offered are primarily working capital and term loans and lines of credit that help our customers finance accounts receivable, inventory and equipment. We also offer financial, performance and commercial letters of credit. Commercial loans secured by owner occupied real estate are classified as commercial real estate loans in the loan portfolio composition table in “Item 7. Management s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and Note 6 to the audited consolidated financial statements in “Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data”. Most commercial loans are short-term in nature, being one year or less, with the maximum term generally being five years. Our commercial loans typically range in size from $500 thousand to $15 million.

Commercial Real Estate Lending. We originate commercial real estate loans that are generally secured by multi-unit residential property and owner and non-owner occupied commercial and industrial property. Longer term commercial real estate loans are generally made at fixed rates, although some have interest rates that change based on the Prime Rate or LIBOR. Generally, terms of up to twenty-five years are offered on fully amortizing loans, but most loans are structured with a balloon payment at the end of five years or less. For our fixed rate loans with maturities greater than five years, we may enter into an interest rate swap agreement with a third party to mitigate interest rate risk. In deciding whether to make a commercial real estate loan, we consider, among other things, the experience and qualifications of the borrower as well as the value and cash flow of the underlying property. Some factors considered are net operating income of the property before debt service and depreciation, the debt service coverage ratio (the ratio of the property s net cash flow to debt service requirements), the global cash flows of the borrower, the ratio of the loan amount to the appraised value and the overall creditworthiness of the prospective borrower. Our commercial real estate loans typically range in size from $250 thousand to $20 million.
