U.S. BANK ACQUIRES FBOP CORPORATIONS BANKING SUBSIDIARIES
THROUGH AN FDIC FACILITATED TRANSACTION
THROUGH AN FDIC FACILITATED TRANSACTION
MINNEAPOLIS, October 30, 2009 U.S. Bancorp (NYSE: USB) announced today that, effective
immediately, its lead bank, U.S. Bank National Association, has acquired the banking subsidiaries
of FBOP Corporation of Oak Park, Illinois, from the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. This
transaction includes nine different banks with more than $18 billion in total assets and 150
branches in California, Illinois, Arizona and Texas. The nine banks that are part of this
acquisition are: BankUSA, N.A.; California National Bank; Citizens National Bank; Madisonville
State Bank; North Houston Bank; Pacific National Bank; Park National Bank; San Diego National Bank;
and Community Bank of Lemont.
Under the terms of these transactions, U.S. Bank will receive approximately $18.4 billion of assets
and assume approximately $18.3 billion of liabilities, including $15.4 billion of both insured and
uninsured deposits, of the nine different banks that are part of FBOP.
In addition, substantially all loans are subject to a loss sharing agreement with the FDIC. U.S.
Bank will not acquire any additional assets or liabilities of the banks parent holding company,
FBOP Corporation. This acquisition is expected to meet or exceed the companys internal financial
hurdles for internal rate of return and earnings per share accretion.
This transaction is consistent with the growth strategy that we have outlined many times in the
past, which includes enhancing our existing franchise through low-risk, in-market acquisitions,
noted Rick Hartnack, vice chairman of consumer banking for U.S. Bancorp. This transaction adds
scale to our current California, Illinois and Arizona footprints and key markets within these
states. We also view this type of acquisition as an efficient means of leveraging U.S. Banks
strong capital base, as we further invest in our company and expand opportunities to bring our
great products and services to a new, larger customer base.
As part of these transactions, U.S. Bank will implement either the FDICs or other approved
mortgage loan modification programs on certain residential mortgages assumed under the loss share
agreement. The objectives of these programs are to improve affordability, increase the probability
of performance, and allow borrowers to remain in their homes.
The nine banks involved in this transaction will continue to operate under their current names and
will be re-branded as U.S. Bank branches in the near future. Customers should continue to conduct
their banking practices as they have in the past. U.S. Bank will soon be providing additional
information to impacted customers about this transaction. As a result of this transaction,
deposits of all nine banks are now backed by the financial strength and security of U.S. Bank.
Prior to this announcement, U.S. Bank had 570 branch offices in California, 75 branch offices in
Arizona and 127 branch offices in Illinois. U.S. Bank currently does not have a retail banking
presence in Texas. This transaction provides an expansion of the branch network in the following

Forward-Looking Statements
The following information appears in accordance with the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act
of 1995:
This press release contains forward-looking statements about U.S. Bancorp. Statements that are not
historical or current facts, including statements about beliefs and expectations, are
forward-looking statements and are based on the information available to, and assumptions and
estimates made by, management as of the date made. These forward-looking statements cover, among
other things, anticipated future revenue and expenses and the future plans and prospects of U.S.
Bancorp. Forward-looking statements involve inherent risks and uncertainties, and important factors
could cause actual results to differ materially from those anticipated. Global and domestic
economies could fail to recover from the recent economic downturn or could experience another
severe contraction, which could adversely affect our revenues and the values of our assets and
liabilities. Global financial markets could experience a recurrence of significant turbulence,
which could reduce the availability of funding to certain financial institutions and lead to a
tightening of credit, a reduction of business activity, and increased market volatility. Stress in
the commercial real estate markets, as well as a delay or failure of recovery in the residential
real estate markets, could cause additional credit losses and deterioration in asset values. In
addition, our business and financial performance could be impacted as the financial industry
restructures in the current environment, by increased regulation of financial institutions or other
effects of recently enacted legislation, and by changes in the competitive landscape. Our results
could also be adversely affected by continued deterioration in general business and economic
conditions; changes in interest rates; deterioration in the credit quality of our loan portfolios
or in the value of the collateral securing those loans; deterioration in the value of securities
held in our investment securities portfolio; legal and regulatory developments; increased
competition from both banks and non-banks; changes in customer behavior and preferences; effects of
mergers and acquisitions and related integration; effects of critical accounting policies and
judgments; and managements ability to effectively manage credit risk, market risk, operational
risk, legal risk, and regulatory and compliance risk. Finally, there can be no assurance that we
will realize the anticipated benefits of the acquisition of the banking subsidiaries of FBOP
Corporation.
For discussion of these and other risks that may cause actual results to differ from expectations,
refer to U.S. Bancorps Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008, on file
with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including the sections entitled Risk Factors and
Corporate Risk Profile, and all subsequent filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission
under Sections 13(a), 13(c), 14 or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Forward-looking
statements speak only as of the date they are made, and the Company undertakes no obligation to
update them in light of new information or future events.
