The weekend's headlines:

• existing investors asked to stump up further £258m
• shares suspended, then slump 20% after trading restored
• chief executive steps down with heart problems
• Texas Pacific Group (private equity house) to take 23% stake and inject further £179m
• bank suffers significant problems from arrears-heavy buy-to-let sector

So the good news... bank to receive £440m. The bad news... bank needs £440m. In other news... first significant sign of buy-to-let market woe. We'll be back later with further developments and with commentary from across the media.
