U.S. regulators asked large banks to submit their takeover bids for First Republic Bank (NYSE: FRC) over the weekend, in an effort to rescue the troubled bank.

The Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. (FDIC) reportedly held an auction, asking multiple banks to solicit bids for FRC before an afternoon deadline on April 30. As of press time, no announcement had been made.
