NEW YORK, June 29 (Reuters) - A U.S. bankruptcy judge said Thursday that he would allow SVB Financial Group to sell its investment banking division, once the company has ensured that it is not releasing any liabilities related to the collapse of its Silicon Valley Bank unit. James Bromley, an attorney for SVB Financial, told Glenn that it would remove the liability releases from the deal by Friday. SVB Financial owned Silicon Valley Bank before it was seized by the U.S. Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) in March, and it is attempting to sell its remaining assets in bankruptcy. Glenn also criticized the FDIC during the court hearing, saying he would not allow the agency to block SVB Financial from getting information about its seizure of about $2 billion from SVB Financial' s bank accounts. Silicon Valley Bank's failure in March triggered the worst U.S. banking crisis in 15 years.

June 18 (Reuters) - SVB Financial Group (SIVBQ.PK) said on Sunday it has entered into an agreement to sell its investment banking division, SVB Securities, to a group led by Jeff Leerink and backed by funds managed by The Baupost Group. The bidder group led by Leerink, who is chief executive of SVB Securities, will acquire the investment banking business for a combination of cash, repayment of an intercompany note, and a 5% equity instrument, the company said. First Citizens BancShares Inc (FCNCA.O) bought all the loans and deposits of the failed bank in March, leaving some $90 billion in securities with the FDIC for sale. The lender continues to evaluate strategic alternatives for its division, SVB Capital, and company's other assets and investments, it said.

The weekend came and went without a buyer for SVB Financial Group, the parent company of the failed Silicon Valley Bank. SVB Capital focuses on venture capital and credit investing and SVB Securities is its investment banking arm. Axios reported Monday morning that JPMorgan and PNC were in talks to acquire SVB Financial Group but not the failed commercial bank. SVB Securities, better known as SVB Leerink, the investment banking arm born out of SVB's 2018 acquisition of Leerink, is a very desirable business, he added. "SVB Leerink is a well-known name in the tech and healthcare space that will be attractive to someone," said Healy.
