Historia [ editar ]

Fundación e historia temprana [ editar ]

El 11 de febrero de 1908, Henry Ittleson fundó la Compañía de Inversión y Crédito Comercial en St. Louis, Missouri . [11]

En 1915, la empresa trasladó su sede a la ciudad de Nueva York y se renombró a sí misma como Fideicomiso de Inversión Comercial y pasó a las iniciales de CIT. En ese momento, la empresa proporcionaba financiación para proveedores mayoristas y productores de bienes de consumo. La compañía agregó financiamiento de automóviles a su línea de productos en 1916, a través de un acuerdo con Studebaker , el primero de su tipo en la industria automotriz. Durante la Primera Guerra Mundial , CIT financió la fabricación de 150 cazadores de submarinos . También agregó financiamiento al consumidor de radios a través de un acuerdo con Thomas Edison, Inc. Durante los locos años 20Después de la guerra, el gasto de los consumidores aumentó drásticamente y el CIT prosperó en sus grupos de financiamiento de automóviles, muebles y electrodomésticos. En 1924, CIT se incorporó a Delaware y cotizó sus acciones en la Bolsa de Valores de Nueva York . CIT entró en el campo del factoraje en 1928 y expandió sus operaciones a Europa en 1929. [12]

With international tensions rising prior to World War II, CIT closed its German operations in 1934. Arthur O. Dietz succeeded Ittleson as president of the company in 1939. During the war, CIT offered its 2000 employees a month's bonus, life insurance, and a guaranteed job on return if they served in the United States Armed Forces. Between 1947 and 1950, the company's net income rose from $7.3 million to $30.8 million. Ittleson died at age 77 on October 27, 1948.[12]

1950s - 1990s[edit]

The company moved into a new building at 650 Madison Avenue in Manhattan in 1957. In 1960, Walter Lundell succeeded Dietz as president of the company. Five years later, in 1959, the company passed $100 billion ($877 billion in recent terms) in financing volume since its founding. The Vietnam War racial turmoil of the 1960s resulted in CIT making changes to its business. In 1969, CIT entered the personal and home equity loan and leasing business and left auto financing. In 1979, restrictive banking rules forced CIT to sell its bank, National Bank of North America. CIT was acquired by RCA Corporation in 1980. RCA promptly sold CIT's four manufacturing businesses: Picker X-Ray, Inc., Gibson Greeting Cards, Inc., All-Steel, Inc. (office furniture), and Raco, Inc. (wall boxes for electric switches and outlets.) The Madison Avenue building was sold in 1982 as the company moved to a newly constructed headquarters facility in Livingston, New Jersey in 1983.[12]

In 1984, CIT was sold to Manufacturers Hanover Trust.[12] In 1989, Manufacturers Hanover Trust sold 60% of CIT to Dai-Ichi Kangyo Bank of Japan.[12]

In 1991, the company acquired Fidelcor Business Credit Corporation, which increased its services to small businesses. In 1992, CIT opened 15 new offices in 7 states.[12]

In 1997, the company became a public company via an initial public offering that raised $850 million.[12][13]

On November 15, 1999, CIT acquired Toronto-based Newcourt Credit Group in a $4.2 billion transaction, which created one of the largest publicly owned leasing companies.[14][15]

Early 2000s[edit]

In 2000, CIT announced record earnings of $611.6 million, an increase of 57.1% from the prior year, which was largely attributed to the acquisition of Newcourt the year before.[16]

In 2001, Tyco acquired CIT for $9.2 billion in stock.[17][18][19] CIT was renamed as Tyco Capital.[20]

Tyco ran into operating troubles and sold or spun off non-core operations, including CIT. On July 8, 2002, Tyco completed its divestment of its Tyco Capital business through an initial public offering, via the sale of 100% of the common shares in CIT Group Inc.[21][22]

In 2006, CIT moved its global headquarters back to New York City, opening a new headquarters at 11 West 42nd Street, across from the New York Public Library.[23] CIT retained its Livingston campus as its corporate headquarters.

Under the leadership of CEO Jeff Peek, assets at CIT rose 77% from 2004 to the end of 2007 as it acquired companies in education lending and subprime mortgages. Those acquisitions turned out to be disastrous for the company and in the following eight quarters, CIT reported more than $3 billion in losses.[24]

Great Recession[edit]

On July 1, 2008, CIT Group announced that it would sell its home lending division to Lone Star Funds for $1.5 billion in cash and the assumption of $4.4 billion in debt and announced that it would sell its manufactured housing loan portfolio, with a face value of $470 million in loans, to Vanderbilt Mortgage and Finance for approximately $300 million.[25][26][27]

In 2008, CIT became a bank holding company in order to receive $2.3 billion in Troubled Asset Relief Program (TARP) funds.

On July 15, 2009, CIT's request for Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation loan guarantees was rejected.[28] At 6:03 PM, the company issued a press release stating that talks of a government bailout were unlikely and that the company had been advised that there was "no appreciable likelihood of additional government support being provided over the near term"[29] and that it was very close to declaring bankruptcy.[30][31][32]

On July 19, 2009, the company received a bailout via a $3 billion deal via an agreement with the bondholders group, which included Pacific Investment Management Company (PIMCO) and other large bond holders.[33] CIT said it planned a comprehensive restructuring of its liabilities.[34]

Effective July 24, 2009, CIT was removed from the S&P 500 Index.[35]

Bankruptcy and Reorganization[edit]

On Sunday, November 1, 2009, CIT Group filed for bankruptcy protection under Chapter 11.[36][37][38]

On December 10, 2009, CIT satisfied all of the conditions required to consummate the prepackaged Plan of Reorganization, which included the cancellation of existing debt and shares and the issuance of new debt and publicly traded shares.[39]

As part of the reorganization plan, CIT named seven new independent directors. On January 19, 2010, Peter J. Tobin, a member of the board of directors, was named interim Chief Executive Officer, replacing Jeff Peek, who resigned effective January 15, 2010.[40] On February 8, 2010, former Merrill Lynch CEO John Thain was hired as chairman and Chief Executive Officer.[41]

OneWest Bank acquisition[edit]

OneWest Bank Headquarters in Pasadena, California

On July 22, 2014, CIT Group announced an agreement to acquire OneWest Bank for $3.4 billion in cash and stock.[42] OneWest Bank was established on March 19, 2009 by IMB Holdco, a holding company owned by a consortium of private equity investors led by Steven Mnuchin.[43]

The California Reinvestment Coalition was concerned about the possibility of the FDIC's loss-sharing agreement with OneWest being transferred to CIT Group and the growth of a bank that is considered too big to fail and so it filed a Freedom of Information Act request in October 2014 seeking information about the amount of money paid out to OneWest's investors under the loss-share agreement and what conversations FDIC staff have had with the leadership of OneWest Bank and CIT Group.[44] On July 21, 2015, the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency and the Federal Reserve approved CIT Group's acquisition of OneWest Bank.[45] The acquisition closed on August 3, 2015.[6]

2016 to present[edit]

In March 2016, CEO John Thain stepped down and was succeeded by Ellen Alemany, a member of the board of directors.[46] Alemany previously led the Royal Bank of Scotland Group’s businesses in the Americas and also held various titles at Citigroup.[47]

Upon taking the roles of CEO in April 2016 and chairwoman in May 2016, Alemany began simplifying the company by having lending and deposit-gathering be its focus and divesting from its riskier, non-core businesses.[48]

In April 2017, the company sold its aircraft lease business to Avolon for $10.38 billion.[49]

In October 2017, the company sold Financial Freedom, acquired as part of the acquisition of OneWest Bank, and its reverse mortgage portfolio.[50]

In October 2018, the company sold its European rail leasing business, NACCO, which was its last overseas operation.[51]

In January 2020, CIT completed the acquisition of Mutual of Omaha Bank.[52][53]

In October, CIT agreed to be acquired by First Citizens BancShares.[8]

CEO-to-worker pay ratio[edit]

Pursuant to Section 953(b) of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, publicly traded companies are required to disclose (1) the median total annual compensation of all employees other than the CEO and (2) the ratio of the CEO’s annual total compensation to that of the median employee.[54]

Total 2018 compensation for Ellen Alemany, CEO, amounted to $8,961,198, and total compensation of the median employee was determined to be $93,605. The resulting pay ratio is estimated to be 96:1.[55]

Sponsorship[edit]

In January 2019, CIT announced it had joined the No. 10 Konica Minolta Cadillac DPi-V.R team as the exclusive banking sponsor. The announcement occurred at the “Roar Before the 24” event, a three-day event before the season-opening Rolex 24 at the Daytona International Speedway.[56]
