3 private investors seek to purchase IndyMac

WASHINGTON _ A trio of private investors _ J.C. Flowers & Co., Dune Capital Management and Paulson & Co. _ have teamed up in an effort to buy failed thrift IndyMac, a person familiar with the deal said Monday.

The two private-equity firms and hedge-fund Paulson have applied for a federal holding company charter, according to the person, who asked not to be named because the deal has not been completed.

The investors want to convert IndyMac Federal Bank, which was seized by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. in July in the second-largest bank failure of the year, to a stock-held institution.
